The conviction and intense manner in which he speaks is captivating. Shakespeare would take notes from Mr. Willink.

Thank you, you just saved my college career, changed my mindset and helped me more than you will ever know. I hope you actually read this I have taken ownership changed my life and started over at 51 years of age I WILL CRUSH IT !!!!

this man gives me the lecture my father never gave me. xd

It’s called Homeostasis. Your brain maintains the status quo, resisting anything new or different. It keeps you safe, but also prevents improvement.

This is better than any pre work out you can buy

Man,this guy can really get you FIRED Up!!!

When he says "GET UP" I feel like he's talking straight to me

This guy is a REAL warrior, humbling and encouraging

Often times when I understand a new concept or finish reading a passage in a book I think to myself 'I can take a small break now, I did good work'. I always knew there was something wrong with this but could never quite put my finger on what. Now I understand it's the quitting instinct. I will fight this every time now.

I feel like any second Jocko is going to punch me through my screen.

I use a concept I call ACDH to establish a basic foundation of character development. Attitude, compassion, discipline, and humility are the core fundamentals that allow ones self to develop more positive characteristics; at that moment all doors are able to be opened. As you say, the quitter instinct is a plague on society. Discipline is required.

About the best damn thing I ever heard

All time favorite rant...I have it saved as “the liar” and I listen almost every day.

This man should be running your country

ever since ive started to listening to Mr Willink. My life has changed a little

I listen to this everyday and "good". Thank you Jocko

This guy is amazing. Lots of good self-improvement, self-help, and motivational stuff here. Jocko seems like a pretty cool guy

I live with pain every day of my life, but I get up early in the morning (very early, I even beat Trump up) and I Attack the day!!!! ( : . Hard labor is what keeps us older guys strong, I love it (:

@jocko I have recognized this "instinct" as my old self.. the weak me that always wants to be complacent. Each day, I find myself finding something to work on in my personal endeavors because I find that the old lazy fuck in me wants to do nothing but escape reality.

Jocko is helping so many people ... Bravo sir & thank you

I hear this and Goggins everytime at work, just cooking in the sun doing hard labor, and it helps. Reminds me that I have more to give.

Damn, this 4 minute video may have brought me back to earth.

Who else comes to this video on an almost daily basis to listen to it over and over again while you're doing things, just to drill what he's saying inside your head?

This is the fight...every day...

Watching his hand motions, all i could imagine the whole time is Macho Man Randy Savage doing this.

Thank you Jocko. Wouldnt still be/have been able to hold my exec level job without your awesome perspectives. They've had a huge effect on my mental strength

YOU ARE THE MAN! thank you for the motivation!!

Bless you Jocko! I'm never giving up, surrendering or giving up!

Amazing Jocko thanks a lot, I really need to see this video every day. God bless your work and mission.Amen!!!

I knew he's a real deal the moment I saw he's drinking out of a jar.

Wow Jocko just did it again; I have read many great works on motivation, positive psychology and self help. But man this one was truly powerful. You can sense he is not bullshitting in this one and that he is pulling this one from very deep within. Great stuff; and very helpful.

Woke up with a cold, fought the weakness and made it to the gym. Didn't want to finish. Recognized it as my quitter instinct. Finished. Thank you Jocko

Jocko....man your podcasts are fire!!! Remember when you and Joe R. discussed you making these happen? Well I'm glad you did brother! God bless you!! Keep kickin ass!!

Thanks for that message, I needed that today!!

I hates me a pity party. Keep speaking on it, Mr. Willink... Willink for President 2020!

I WILL NEVER QUIT ON YOU JOCKO!!!

Totally need this. Thank you.

Jocko gives me faith in humanity again. It amazes me that such a man exsists...A real American Hero!

Best Speech of All Time.

thanks for all the amazing videos!

I so needed to hear this. I'm up and I want to overcome that instict! Thank you!

I needed this. Thanks

I felt so powerful when I heard this thank you

This is my alarm in the morning

always great Jocko

The truth!! Very Motivating…...

So motivational. Thank you Jocko

YeSSS! Listen over, and over, and over... !

Wow I needed this after back to back to back failures.

This is one of the most important videos in my life.

I needed to hear this.

This video is POWERFUL

Thank you.

GOOD.

For full effect: play Jocko at half-speed.

So true, I have seen this in my own life.

I love you Jocko. Seriously. I needed to hear this message and you absolutely came through.

"Pain doesn't tell you when you ought to stop. Pain is the little voice in your head that tries to hold you back because it knows if you continue you will change. Don't let it stop you from being who you can be. Exhaustion tells you when you ought to stop. You only reach your limit when you can go no further." Kobe Bryant

Amazing speach

I’ve commented something like this a few months back, but I just want to reaffirm. This mentality works. I’m not going to give some huge sob story or memoir, fuck that. I was on a good path, but with people like Jocko, Jordan, Joe, I’ve used their lessons and I’m reaching goals. Not satisfied, but proud. Get after it homies. Hopefully, you see me on the tv soon with this dream of mine. Push through and aim high.

Very good!

Get Up. Go. Fight On.

OMG I LOVE YOU JOCKO

Thanks Echo :)

Ima wake up at 4 am from now on.

Like the deeeviill hiiimseelllff haha. I love it.

Chills.

Good one, Jocko

Thank you! there is the devil himself in this Quitter instinct, nothing can harm your goals more.

I feel Jocko is the Alpha in the room in every room he’s ever entered.

Good one. Been a long time since A-School.

i had rest day today after 10 days of workout whitout any rest day and watching this video make me regret it dmn i will never rest another day😂👍

Guys like Jocko Willink, Jordan Peterson, Tim Kennedy, Ben Shapiro, David Goggins, Joe Rogan and many others, each one on it’s own different and personal way, are making American people (and us from other countries who love this culture) great again. God bless you guys, you’re leading by example.

He just had a quick video on IG today captioned "THEY'RE LYING". This kinda ties into it. Also, there was a bit of Randy Savage around the 25 second mark.

this was my instinct

The new Drum Major Instinct !

You're a beast.

Do not give up based on instict.

Never give up

I deserve a break. I have earned it. I need it. Hell, I can get away with it. Just this once. Just for a couple of moments. Invest today in myself and get back started tomorrow. Feed the complacency, losing never felt so good.

Amen

Jocko, when did you develop ESP?

I listen to this crap all the time in the gym, who the hell needs a playlist filled with Metal.

Wish I could share this on Instagram

Just flipped the table, riped my clothes off, did 1000 burpes and ran 6000 miles. So motivated! GET AFTER IT!

I remember that time I squatted 15 times my standard reps, 330 if I remember correctly, and couldn't walk properly for three days. Already planning to do it at the start of my 3 days off. About that "fight on" instinct - where does the line stand from having me break my own bones, through microfractures? P.S. Where is the quitter instinct in 11:59 PM, while I'm continuing to browse the web?

Only quit if you’re on the wrong path

I just wish he'd tell me what to do during covid-19 lockdown

I wanna go deadlift right now

Why am I cryin in the club rn?

Woah

This is why I love you! #uaremy5

Jocko 2020. Also, sounds like jesse ventura at times

I was taking rest.

Anybody else think Jocko sounds like Macho Man Randy Savage especially at the beginning?

Just don’t quit TODAY.

It sounds like he is telling me this from eye to eye. I want to make his words count. How does he do that??

You should write a book or something. Just kidding. I am nearly finished with Extreme Ownership.

None of u have seen me off sedatives in over 20 years. No one wants to compete with me unless im sedated.

whats in the jar?
