Taking Control Of Your Emotions is The Same As Taking Control Of Your Life. Jocko Willink

In the middle of a divorce right now, it's difficult to see how I will come out the other side of this. Only way is to keep going. We have to know the storm will pass, the suffering brings us closer to God. Stay strong!

"You are emotions holding you back"?

I’m coming back around to this after starting IFS therapy and picking up the book Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. Emotional distress is a big obstacle for many people. It seems to take away clarity. It’s not possible to escape misery entirely but it’s possible to reduce the friction by recovering clarity.

I'm taking L's in life right now, but I also have some awesome things to fight for. Get up, dust off, and keep f'ing fighting.

So true.

I've watched bunch of these videos and I'm wondering why Echo is on the podcast.

Prioritize and execute!

54. Lost the relationship, my crew, the career and found out I had to get a heart valve replacement done. Got the new heart valve and the dust of everything else is settling. Stay strong through the tough times guys. Fight. It will get better.

Hlavně pod kontrolou :D

Seeing Jocko give grounded, sound advice while also exhibiting his humanity & a capacity to feel strong emotions inspires an unreal level of respect & admiration from me

Hey there, taking control of your emotions is essential for taking control of your life. Your emotions have the power to influence your thoughts and actions, so it's important to understand and manage them effectively. Don't let your emotions control you, but rather learn to control them. By doing so, you'll be able to make better decisions, handle difficult situations more effectively, and live a more fulfilling life. Remember, you are in control of your emotions, not the other way around.

Ever talk to a field epidemiologist? Talk about having your priorities in line at the right time.

The ultimate test of one's true strength of character is self-control. "A sword does not need to be unsheathed for it to be considered dangerous."

Thank you Echo and Jocko

Hey, just wanted to thank you here. You've helped me get back up in my life. THANK YOU, GOD BLESS

Better than anything I have learned in therapy.

Imagine if everyone attacked everything from a scope,objectives, and improvise on the fly standpoint.

Better world imminent.

Understood

Jocko, sometimes people can't take control of their emotions. It's de-pressing them (de-pression is suppressed emotions, control by mind, drugs etc). eMotions need to run their course, run out of steam/energy and suppressed grief etc is like ticking time*omb (how many millions people are doing this?)
Explain what I mean - I was overcome by some emotion, years ago. It was distressing (my colleague was enjoying my state), but then, suddenly I "gave up/in", accepted what I felt and guess what? It left, my system, like baloon flying away.... And it happened again, when my boss enjoying my "worrying", telling me about next day impossible task, I spent worried all evening, but as soon as I gave into it, it never happened.
So if people here going through tough times, give it try if all else fail. Because
"Worry settles nothing, Just wait for things to mend, Fret not over problems, Life solves them in the end"
God joyful day

Thank you very much!

I know that Jocko does a lot of things well but I see him primarily as a coach.

I love this one. I was listening to your breakdown and it hit me on how wide "Prioritize and execute" is applicable. As a Pharma Operator, you do one product at a time, and it's the product on demand, you definitely have to prioritize and execute. Incase you don't do that contamination is a sure calamity and drugs is all about lives.
"PRIORITIZE AND EXECUTE"

Jocko for President 2024 we need you 🇺🇸

Great channel! Brasil right here

Eliminate the cat! Just kidding.

Would like to point out that dealing with smaller problems successfully first can build up your confidence to tackle larger problems. Also some problems require not doing something but stopping doing something in those cases taking action is so important you can stop doing one thing by starting to do another filling the hole just stopping isn't enough action is important. Jocko is very wise.

A lighthouse of a human being shining in the pitch-black darkness making our life worth living - one day at a time. Thank you, Jocko and Echo!

JOCKMAN REIGNS SUPREME. THANKS, COMMANDO. I'LL TACKLE MY ISSUES RIGHT ON AND STOP BEING A WUSS.

This is a life saver! Thank you Jocko & Echo 🙏.

I think it’s good when life rains shit on you. It’s like a challenge that just helps you get stronger and builds character. The more shit that rains down, the easier it gets to just let it all roll off your back as you keep striding forward on the path.

that was brilliant can relate

When Jocko looks in the mirror, he doesn't reflect himself because there can only be one Jocko.

I'm working on talking through my problems instead of taking the flight path. I really need to focus on prioritizing and executing so I can work through my emotions instead of choosing to give up.
I've always had the mindset of flight from trauma. I've never had the stability to fight but I have had the mindset of saving others lives; I'm on the path of wanting to save my own life just as much as others. Because my life is worth just as much.
Thanks for helping.

This week I found out that i failed the semester and that my best friend likes my crush.

"99 problems but jocko ain't one"

I needed to hear this one, this Hitt home for me hard. Taking control of emotions Is certainly key

"Tomorrow you start at 0". One of the best fucking things I've ever heard about getting yourself together.
