DISCIPLINE | Motivational video - Jocko Willink

discipline equals freedom I think it's pretty self-explanatory the more disciplining you have in your life the more freedom you're going to happen your life all those things that are hard to do all those things that take discipline those are the things you need to do I just turn off my mind and do whatever it is I'm 92 do you know I think people are always looking for some sort of you know remedy or some shortcut that's gonna make them be able to do things that are hard easier but no hard things for a reason so

they're gonna be hard if they were easy everyone would do them and if something's hard to me that's fine I don't care I'm just gonna do it anyways [Music] the most important trait for not just for a seagull but for a person to do well and to be successful is you've got to be humble and when someone's not humble that's when all of a sudden they don't listen anybody else that's when they can't they don't want to evolve anymore because they think they know everything and so they don't make any changes they won't improve so

the most important quality for me that I look forward other people and I try and maintain it myself is the quality of humility to make sure that you're always looking to improve and change and take input from other people so that you can prove yourself [Music] make sure you work out everyday that's very important because it's really easy to make excuses and especially that's well understood again that's why I think working out early in the morning is very important because the longer you wait to work out the less chance you have of actually getting it

done because the rest of life starts to chime in on your day and you start to have other people email you and call you and text you with their issues and problems and things that they need done and so it's no longer your day it's now everyone else's so if you wake up early in the morning and you get your workout done before anyone else wakes up you're good and they can't take that back from you [Music] there's so many things that we take for granted every single day that are a complete luxury for instance

turning on the water and getting to drink it you know that's that's not common in other parts of the world it's amazing something you can do in in Iraq at all you know we have a comfortable temperature you know in a room to sleep in it's not a hundred to fifteen degrees because we have air conditioning we have electricity we have lights we have freedoms and you know it's it's really easy to forget that in America that there's so much freedom that we have here to go out and do things that you want to do

and chase pursuits that you want to chase and the rest the world I shouldn't say the rest of world there's other parts obviously they're better like that but much of the world that's it that's a fantasy that they don't have the opportunity to do so yeah I think there's a lot of things that we we can sometimes take for granted within the civilian sector for sure [Music] don't waste time because you haven't got much of it I'm not saying don't have fun I'm saying don't waste them how much think yourself I'm saying it's time I'm

not saying don't get after it in a multitude of different ways I'm saying don't waste time YouTube wasted time television wasted time surfing the internet wasted time so none of those things will bring you any equal you know balance they'll just bring you weakness and make you you know how to shape and drain your brain so that's what I'm talking about I'm not talking about don't have fun have fun but something productive pick a target and engage [Music] people ask me this every single day they're right into my pocket as they'll send social media they're

there wanting me to say well if you do this breathing technique or if you do these moaning exercises if you eat this certain food then that computing the pathway to discipline it's all just a big lie here's the deal it's not easy do it I don't see we you know again people want to talk around making things into this into some super special secret sauce there isn't it you have to have to work you have to have discipline that's it [Music] discipline equals freedom [Music] you [Music]
