I watched this everyday in 2017 in the fall. I was over weight 280lbs, my girlfriend left me and took my kid. I was down I was out. But this video, It jumpstarted my careers, got my life in order. I’m a united airlines employee and a firefighter today with custody of my child and 190lbs. Whoever edited this video, thank you. It took me to new heights and drove me to be a warrior. I’m here now I’m 2022 looking back and remember this where I started. Thank you

I am a Chaplain and a Minister I had just given "The Last Rites" to my cousin. I had been with him at the hospital for 8 straight days while he lays in a coma and spending time with my family. As my eyes fill up with tears and I feel part of me breaking this video has helped strengthen me so much.

Jocko is a warrior poet

Best preworkout on the market and it's free 👍

This guy is a National Treasure. The Best.

Chispa, you don't understand how much these videos really help me. I go to your channel and listen to your videos on repeat all day while I work. I left a comment on one of your videos about a year or two ago telling you how much it meant to me and how it helped me overcome my depression and anxiety. Still till this day your videos help me. I've tried to listen to other motivational videos but they're not the same. Thank you once again Chispa.

Jocko is one of the best 👌great video man

Currently in the Police Academy and every morning at 4am, I listen to this. It is necessary, it is needed.

As a retired Navy vet of 21 years. Thank you! I agree completely!

Thanks for reminding this old lion where his path is. Thank you for the dose of truth.

I am that person he talks about in the beginning. I've been on self-improvement for the past seven years. If I look at it, I've gained knowledge most don’t even know exists. At the end of the day, did it give me what I crave in my heart? No. But it was damn worth it because this video confirmed that I am finally on the right path. What's even crazier is that the video got uploaded the year I started my journey of self-improvement. It got me emotional thinking I could’ve found it that year, but life works in mysterious ways. I probably wouldn’t have been ready at that time. Now, I know my search is over. #NeverGiveUp | #DareToLiveYourDream

I am here before becoming a doctor, and I will listen to this video every day until the moment of the white coat ceremony comes upon me. ill keep ya updated over the year.

They say that greatness is how one responds to suffering. The more I think about this the more it echoes truth. I think it explains a lot about veterans. Many come back defeated. The suffering was too much for them. Others come back different though, they come back stronger. They responded to suffering with determination and defeated the barrier. These veterans I have learned from more than any other teachers or professors. I think it is because they have seen the worst suffering. They've seen the devil and walked by him. I think these experiences have almost unlocked a level of wisdom that doesn't come with out suffering. People like Jocko know what living is and it is these people that we should all look up to.

Everything starts with self improvement. Meaning that you make your habits greater.

Dammit Jocko. It's Saturday and now I have to get a move on. Geeze.

Honestly going through the motions is the best advice ever, it teaches you to persevere and not give in to your instant gratification mindset. so many people give up thinking “no point in going through the motions it’s not beneficial” such a lesson I have learned this year is how vital it is to do things even when the drive and motivation is not there, the physical workout may not have been your best but the mental workout you just went through to force yourself not to give in was worth more than anything.

There won’t be a genie to help you in life you are your own genie

I hear Jocko's voice in my head every time I work out!

Dude I watch this every morning when I wake up for school and before every time I work out (like right now). And I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this because it keeps me going and helps me motivated and knowing that everything will work out it it WILL be okay and I WILL improve and make my life better by just staying on the War path. Thank you.

I am a 30 year Marine Corps veteran and I agree so much with this video. In the beginning of my career, it was a start to become a Marine and learning and striving to become better and better every day. After 30 years it all paid off with retirement as a Master Gunnery Sergeant and a FABULOUS career !!!!!!!!!!!!! NO REGRETS !!!!!!!!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Nice work, your music is great as well. Keep up the good work.

God has created something more powerful than himself. That creation’s name is Jocko.

The righteous path, the discipline path, I will stay on the war path, the path of least resistance, Thank You Jocko Willink your Great and I will be Great too one day, campaign in progress!

jockos voice alone is enough. no music just jockos voice. thats all i need

This man deeply understands the human animal. It makes me feel a deep respect for his words. Thank you sir. Sincerely.

just teared up a bit

“it’s time to get on the war path” hypes me up

Discipline is my best friend. It never lets me down. How many times have I screwed myself over by not addressing my issues with discipline? It always will be there for me and it will only lead me the right way.

Forgot, to mention a friend and I purchased your book "Discipline Equals Freedom" and now we are both back to regular visits to the Gym. Our diets have also changed 100% Thanks Friend

Spoken with true Passion! No bullshìt it's all true! You want it? You are the Only one who can Start the process!

I'm currently in the process of joining the Australian Army, and I tell you what this is just what I needed to hear to keep pushing thanks mate.

"Go THROUGH the motions." Awesome!!!

Jocko makes me really take a look at myself. This man shakes me to my core. He brings tears to my eyes. I’m forever grateful for what he does to inspire me to keep fighting!

Thanks for this video . I'm currently training for a 200 mile endurance run in September . Only took up running 3 years ago. You're right, it's not 10 things or 100 things, it's a commitment and discipline to get better everyday .

What he begins to talk about about 1:37 hit me in the feels.

Jocko, Goggins, Haynes and Rogan have changed my life in 12 months.

If never really been lazy and I work out alot but this video has made me realize of who I need to be. Just like he said "there are days where you don't want to work out, that's when you need to work out". He and David Goggins have motivated me more than anything. There are days when I don't want to go train rugby and then I would think of an excuse on not going but this has made me want to go just because I don't want to on that day. David Goggins said that when you don't want to do it but you do it, you feel better than ever after and that is true because that is exactly how I feel on those days. What he and David said has made me want to "suffer" because then I know it is something worth fighting for.

GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS !

I honestly think success in life is just a matter of intensity. So many people who just limp wrist through life. I genuinely know some people who have never tried their absolute hardest on something. Whether that be physically or mentally. They key to success is to keep attacking. Take a breather every once and a while, sure. But never take your eyes of the goal and always be 100 percent intense.

I love Jocko’s voice. Such intensity without yelling. 🥰🥰🥰

Jocko for president

Jocko is a national treasure

Jocko’s podcast has really helped in many ways! To become more disciplined, and now I’m in the Air Force, chasing my dreams! I want to encourage all of you who may see this comment that you can achieve many things with hard work and determination

I needed this today Lately been feeling just worn out by the world and all the things going on but this reminds me of what I'm fighting for a good life and to be the best version of myself I can possibly be. So I will wake up tomorrow and start this war for this life I would like. I will prove the doubters wrong cause deep inside of me is a fighter and survivor I will obtain this life I have too.

@chispamotivation - you KILLED it with this musical score - this edit is in my top 4 of all time 👏👏👏👏

I’m starting to think that depression isn’t real, u don’t need antidepressants or a break to relax. All you need is JOCKO.

This is the greatest motivational video of all time period !!!

NOW more then EVER, Hope & Push

I’m a psych nurse and Jocko emphasizes what you need to do to get out of a funk. Smash that depression, smash that loneliness, smash that guilt inside that’s telling you to give up. You gotta move and do it even when you don’t feel like doing it. Fuel your body with good food, fuel your spirit with prayer and fuel your mind with books! Work hard to make your life better because life always knocked me down but I always got up stronger. Your body wants that quick hit of dopamine (junk food, alcohol,drugs, sex)..let your mind fight that urge and do something that will give you a gradual dopamine such as work out, projects and read. Don’t let women take your goals and fire away from you, don’t let your family and friends negativities get you down. Get to work and and have some passion in what you do..I don’t care if you flip burgers or bag groceries..we all have customers. I just happen to have customers that want to commit suicide and I love my job helping those to take the war path and not the easy way out.. I stayed in the car today outside the gym and was about to skip my workout and go home because I was tired..I said f$&@ it and ended up lifting hard then playing three competitive games of basketball with some big boys. It felt good to get out of the gym instead of go home and be lazy. Beat that ‘lazy voice in your head’ that wants to rest and just do it! If you’re not in total exhaustion then your body and mind can still go..trust me. Take the war path fellas..take the war path! Jocko is a great inspiration to us all!

The Future is now because today’s actions will project our present into the future!

A real Hero. Thank you Jocko for your Service and for continuing to share your experience with us

One of the most inspirational ones out there, great work on creating a masterpiece.

jocko, a great man!

Amén. I have mental illness chronic pain I live in a condemned house. Bring it 🌹

I’m starting my process in the Canadian military in April and this helps me a lot , I’m risking leaving family and friends and home too serve my country and do whatever it takes to help others. I hope the rest of you here have a good day and remember to always keep your head up in the hard times I love you guys

I used to listen to this guy when I first became a postman.. this man gave me the strength to push through the hardest days and make them possible.. people like this are too rare. His podcast is ☝️

Let’s campaign to do better for ourselves and those we love

Nothing easy, is ever worth it, nothing worth it, is ever easy.

Heard this speech over 100 times, this video got the tears rolling. Good video

You gotta love Jocko man... A great role model

Truly amazing. Jocko is the man. Just repeating what I tell myself everyday.

Thanks again jocko I try to listen to at least one of these each day to keep the fire going

Hooah Jocko, Thanks and God Bless.

Saving my life daily brother. I appreciate you and everyone there on your podcast. Eye opening and exactly what I need to hear. Bless you and your family. Wish you nothing but the best.

Jocko for President! He's da bomb!

GOD bless you Jocko !!!

Thank you, thank you. I am waiting for this.

I am having a severe depression and every morning, I wanted to call in sick and not go to work because I just didn't think I could make it. But I also had little "Jocko" voice in my head that tells me, I should go to work today despite how I feel or how sick I am. In my mind that's infested with depressive thoughts, the world seemed like in chaos. But I still got up and went to work. And you know what? It was great. Some people still got on my nerves but I held my head high and kept my professional attitude. I never acted sick or complained about shit at work, but I just did what I could to make things better and make everyone (including myself) happier. And you know, by actually "doing it", it made me feel better and made me a better person. "Just by doing it", I conquered my fears and made a difference. Thanks, Jocko. You will always be in my head.

Much love to Jocko

This is the one video I needed!! Thank you!

The one change is getting up early and do the work. Every day until there is no fight...the end of the line

Thanks for the hooah! As a former Infantry vet, indigenous native american and ocean man surfer....Ive been down all those bad roads...I almost died bleeding out last year...internal.wound...it was the last straw..for that path ..I couldn't walk much and needed to be driven around..I was weak, but here I am today going back to all these same words of self motivation inspirational fire....you got this....a world depends on you....self, family, friends...if you don't drive on...they can't ride that chariot of never giving up! Keep good company that have that fire! Or believe in you...even if you don't know it....After leaving the Army Infantry, I've always felt like a one man Army always going it alone....it gets lonely, the lens I see the world through because of that and because of being native of this land from ocean to mountains to desert....death is always a moment away from all of us....a snake, a shark, a car wreck, an attack...it's always there. God Bless you and those who support us warriors that are needed in this world.

Just lost my dad unexpectedly, live in another state than the majority of my family but I still went to the interview the day after I heard the news and had to fly down for the funeral, a day after I got back I went to the ride along for the fire department I interviewed for, now I’m starting my time as a volunteer and going to continue working my ass off to reach my goals. I could ball up in a corner and cry but what good does that do anyone? You have to move forward in a shitty situation

It's 2021. Only one damn reason I am here tonight, listening to this. FN tired of it all.

I love this shit. There is no shortcut. It’s a change of your mentality. There’s shit you don’t want to do but you have to fucking do it. Some days you’re just not feeling it but you have to grab your sack and fucking go.

Thank you Jocko

What an inspiration. Jocko you the man!

Thank you for this. A real person telling it like it is. Helping others without a cost.

It is ONE THING ! ITS UP TO YOU 👊🏻🔥

I listen to this video on my lazy days and pass it to my family members... this is hands down the best motivational video! Thanks for creating it!

Thank you for the inspiration Jocko.

I've been listening to this weekly I get up earlier now don't procrastinate thank you thank you thank you

Love it! "Want to Self Improve, stop looking for a short cut a get an Alarm Clock" 1:50

You reminded me of my old mantra, Jocko. We shall not become complacent over any success.

Getting better is a CAMPAIGN!

Jocko you've spelled out what I've know intuitively. It's easy to believe and understand because it's the truth. Thank you !You've helped me change my own life.

Long live JOCKO!!!

My pre-work out video. Thank you Jocko.

Thank you...i needed this at this moment. I find myself hurting. This presented itself. Now. Time to re engage. Thanks you Jocko.

Thank you!

Speaking the truth. Very impressive. Thank you for your service.

Jocko keeps me on the war path, thanks for the clip. Get After It!!!!

God bless that man! Like a father who guides you to achieve-your greatness! But I’d be scared if he was my father in law!! Loved it man thanks

This left me on fire!

I've recently come across your page and wanted to say thank you. I've been in a dark place lately and your videos have helped start to pull me out of it. As a veteran and now social worker who helps people with their struggles, it's often difficult to remember I have to continue to work on my own as well.

well done, as always! thank you.

Campaign of Discipline! Yes!
