It's cool how this works: Sin, lusts and whatnot may seem like your best friend, but in fact they are your worst enemy. Discipline may seem like your worst enemy, but indeed it is your best friend.

Discipline means abstaining from pleasure if it gets in the way of progress.

Discipline is the greatest form of self love!!!

that was THE EXACT thing that I needed to keep on my no smoking fight! I am 6 weeks off the tobacco as I am writing this and I won't go back to it!

This guy says things that Americans dont hear anymore... I thought this way of thought was dead but I am very much appreciating this channel.. preach on brother and thanks for your service

"Discipline is taking the hard, uphill road to do what's right for yourself and people"

"Discipline is taking the uphill road to do what is right" Good one Jocko, this answer is practically burned on your soul after so many years of service. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Discipline = Freedom

Modern day warrior poet

It's crazy because once you find a good disciplined routine and regiment for your life that works for you you don't want it to stop, and if you stop (at least I find) it resets. To illustrate. For the past month I had been on this really good routine and my discipline was building momentum, I was feeling good. Since I am preparing for the military I was fired up and accomplishing probably more than I ever really have. 2 days ago my best friend invited me to spend a night at his house. We drank, played videogames, and laughed our asses off, we slept until late in the night and woke up a little later than I usually would, usually I wake up at 6 AM and I'm in bed by 10 at least. Those two night I ended up spending at his house I did not study, I did not work out, nor read, It was some "time off" I thought. Came back home last night and I found myself in a completely different state of mind. It's almost as if my discipline momentum I had reset, and now I have to build it up again. Now this I don't mind at all, I think this is what Jocko means when he says that the goal should not be getting to the end of something, the goal should be doing the thing itself. Everytime your discipline, your homework, you assignments, your work, your day, your life even resets, use that as motivation to keep pushing forward and to exercise your discipline. Sorry for the bad grammar, I'm in a hurry and just wanted to pour some thoughts that came to mind while listening to this video. Will probably fix it later, maybe not, I don't care. Now go out there and GET SOME. Out

@2:40 "Discipline can seem like your worst enemy. But the reality is: discipline is your best friend." - Jocko Thanks so much for that simple yet very understated quote, Jocko. I agree.

"Discipline equals freedom" has to be the realest thing I've heard all year.

Doing the right thing, the right way, for the right reason, consistently = discipline. Thanks, Echo and Jocko. Hooah.

Listening to Jocko genuinely helps me getting through studying and working out. GET AFTER IT! Thank you

I needed this today got busy at work and wanted so badly to cave into my hunger and just buy something convenient and terrible for me but I listened to this on my way back to the office and maintained my discipline and ate my dry chicken and rice. It tasted so good knowing that my discipline was able to beat out my urge to violate my plan.

Jocko, I found you at the right time in my life. I was recently at a crossroads in my life, and decided to take that uphill battle. I’m so glad to have found your simplistic but meaningful words of wisdom. I do not mean “simplistic” as “dumbing it down for us civilians.” In fact, I respect your words more because these are tactics taken from battle. My dad was a Vietnam Vet, and he spoke a lot like you. My son also respects you and your mindset, and he’s 12. My husband purchased your book “Discipline Equals Freedom”, and I’m reading it now. These are words are concepts I needed to remember. And I’m grateful to have found them from such a strong, yet open minded individual. Thank you Lt. Willink.

I'm loving these small videos

I master discipline but I keep going still learning all over again to improve my level of mastery of the discipline. I am surrounded by liars but I will never be liars. Discipline is part of me and I will keep going to improve it.

I love these snippets of Jocko advice. It is all so motivational and is now a morning routine for me. Great job Echo Charles and Jocko!

Discipline is the key to being the best version of yourself.

I have the discipline to remain consistent in tuning into Jocko Podcast videos.

Disziplin ist die Wahl zwischen dem, was Du in diesem Moment möchtest, und dem, was Du am meisten willst.

Discipline is have the self control to keep your self on the path of your own rules (against your feelings, procrastination, tiredness, laziness, distraction) Do what you are supposed to do - every day.

Discipline is freedom.

Love these short clips. They give that little extra nudge to get off ass, quit making excuses and get after it.

I appreciate the short videos, Echo! Revisiting some highlights from the past year is a great idea!

So sweet hearing Echo ask Jocko for life advice.

so rad to see how he genuinely gets joy and delight out of just articulating what discipline is.

Vignette length clips are the bomb. Booyah!

You’re like a Jedi, fucking dope man 🤘🏻 Keep your emotions, your ego, and your discipline in check to not falter from reaching your goals. Got it 👌🏻 Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate to suffering.

... TO FREEDOM.

Having this opportunity to hear this warrior has no price 😀

This is a game changer - apply to whatever you love and after a 3-6 months your an absolute beast (at least better) at it. : D

Getting up each day at 4:30 am has made now a big difference for me in getting things done. I get to my gym when it opens at 5, M-F so I go now 5 days a wk. When I get home I wash & then put dirty dishes, pots away after drying them. I then plan my day in the to do things I want t accomplish that day. My wife gets up between 7 & 7:30. So after that I make the bed. Then on with the day. Hope this helps

I really love Jocko's podcasts. They really focus on self-discipline and developing good morals. I'll use this podcast to help ace Accounting 103 and Psych101.Thanks Jocko! You inspired me to better myself!

I watch this video every day before I'm about to start working or when I'm waking up. Thank you Jocko) I'll catch up in couple of years and visit your podcast)))

Still gold. Thank you.

i can't imagine jocko talking to me like this how does echo stay chill! get fired up dude!

Nice job Echo for a NEW KZfaq video.

Very well said man! Short and sweet.

I went to give this video a "Like", but I did it already. I love the words that comes out of this man's mouth.

The Foundation of it all..and the hardest part to own...

I read Discipline equals freedom, once a week, it's so good, and true. Plus I have to, to keep on the right path, I'm naturally a lazy undisciplined person! Thanks Jocko!

Discipline means the most effective and efficient way of delivering anything of value.

thankyou Jocko. So well articulated

Thank you gentlemen!!! ❤

It's giving ourselves a command, and doing it. Even when we don't feel like doing it.

Thank You Much 😊

Thanks Jock.

Chills..every time

Echo Charles gettin' after it on a Saturday I see

Listen to this and then to "heart of courage"

Right on brudda!!

I'm gonna let these change my life. Well, I'm gonna change my life. I choose to be inspired.

I was just talking about.. spare the rod... And discipling your child with my daughter, and most talks only define the spare the rod, but i wanted to know more about the discipline meaning which i think is just as important to understand if not more.. my dad was a marine, he taught us discipline without ever laying a hand on us.i just checked out who you are, .. i was like this dude knows stuff, my dad was Navy Seal as well, in 1950somethin ❤️

Thanks ❤

(1:47) "discipline means taking the hard road, the uphill road, to do what's right: for yourself and for other people."

Discipline can be difficult to implement when surrounded by people whose actions are rewarded without any sacrifice or hard work. When surrounded by people who constantly take the easy path and are rewarded for it.

Dude facking love this. Listening on repeat!

"Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but nonetheless doing it like you love it. Tyson

Doing things that you don't want to do but make you grow as a person. Unseen or unknown great consequences.

Yes... and yes and yes.

delayed gratification. work now so that u can play later.

I love this

Great clip.

A legend is a legend!

IMO opinion you are born with a work ethic! Just my opinion! I dropped out o hit school in 1987 because I hated school. But i was working at 13 and at 15 had 2 jobs! I surrounded myself with smarter people, because i thought I'd become smarter. I'd shut-up and listen. If you are the smartest person in the group, find another group! I truly enjoy working and being frustrated by life challenges! I don't work for Friday, I can't wait till Monday! This guys great, I still feed off this kind us intense fucking energy. No sugar coating, just execution! Let's go!

Thanks for the video. I needed it today...🤣

this video is AMAZING

Amen!

I would go to church- if it was the church of Jocko! Holy freakin' cow. This dude rocks at motivating through his own experiences of success. Like- wow dude.

Don't worry guys, I saved this video from being Devil possessed by bringing the like count to 667

We all must suffer one of two pains. The pain of discipline, or the pain of regret.

discipline = fighting off temptations Free from your impulse and immediate desires

Absolutely crazy

I just crushed my 200lbs hand gripper for the first time while listening to this.

i got to listen to this again xoxo

That's so deep 👍👏

This guy would be awesome one movies

True!!

Thank. Cool.

bravo

Hit us with some more Echo C.

What is an effective way to discipline automatic judgements onto another person?

awesome

Your amazing

There's a price to success, and there's a price to failure.

Discipline your speech, thoughts, actions, senses, ego/mind/intelligence

We only realize the importance of discipline when the results appear.

I agree that discipline is extremely important. The problem is today's society glorifying social media.

There's a reason why Discipline is so close to Disciple

That couldn't have been said much better.
