No truer words, man. I just hit 60 this year and have spent the greater portion of my life feeling as though I have done nothing but waste time. Not anymore! Everyday the alarm goes off at 4 am. I'm out of bed. I'm going to the gym to train. I've enrolled in college. I AM GETTING AFTER IT. Thanks Jocko and Echo. And to the 26 year old kid....keep kicking ass.
Don't let ANYBODY steer you off the Path,man. And many will try. Stay focused; stay true to YOU! Be afraid..remember, fear is a good thing. Use it to propel you to your goal!@@andromedagalaxynebula5751
@@andromedagalaxynebula5751 Yes, Galaxy two shards of advice... Google - illimitableman monk mode for fantastic resourses for men. If you want to fook your life up go and get married. Western women are not worth persuing anymore as western women have been utterly ruined by feminism. With thier feminist indoctrinated narcissistic minds Western women who can hardly cook a meal from basic ingredients or even clean a house sit complaining in a comfortable chair in an airconditioned or heated environment made by men, in factories, designed, built and run by men. They drive nice cars invented, built and maintained by men. They use a computer invented and programmed by men, built in a factory by men, using electricity discovered by men, transported on a national grid of power lines that were planned and engineered, maintained and made by men, using electricity generated using methods invented by men, in power stations built by and run by men. They use the Internet, which uses protocols invented by men, transmitted over cables laid by men, in an international network invented, planned, and made by men. They are fuelled by food that was the result of farms and agriculture planned and created by men, delivered to them by global food networks and transport systems invented and built by men. They are diagnosed and healed from sickness by scientific methods and medicines in hospitals invented and built by men, They live in houses that were invented, planned and built by men, They are entertained by programmes transmitted globally by signal technologies that are beamed directly onto large large and small viewing screens invented and built by men, They are kept warm or cool by technologies invented and built by men, in cities with roads, bridges, shopping malls, movie theatres, hospitals, restaurants and other infrastructure planned and built by men. They drink clean water piped into their houses by a national network planned and built by men, from reservoirs and treatment plants that were planned, built and run by men. They are protected by laws invented by men, and enforced by men who risk their lives every day to protect citizens, their property and protect their country. Women enjoy the benefits of everything men discovered, invented, created, built and maintain and are treated equally (by law) and allowed to do anything they wish in the society men created, even if lives are put at risk by allowing women to join by lowering mens higher standards for entry into the military/police and fire services. And yet there are so many western women who are so privileged and devoid of hardship that they spend their time constantly complaining that all of this is not enough for them, that men should be ashamed, that men have too much in this society that they made, and that men need to give even more to women because they are entitled to it just because they were born a women...and emaculated men agree to it. Take away everything that men have done, and western feminist indoctrinated women would be sitting outside in the cold rain without anything to eat until a man comes along and offers them shelter, food, warmth and security. Western women are self-entitled fat ass deluded state weaponised thots who routinely without any guilt steal hard working, faithful honest mens children, wealth and livelyhoods and plunge men into abject poverty or even worse suicide by divorce raping them at a whim with no fault divorce. Western women also wrongly think they are equal to or are superior to men. What sane man would go anywhere near poisonous parasites like that just for access to poon. its bizarre behaviour for any right thinking man yet these deluded women who bring absolutely nothing to a relationship still complain... "where have all the good men gone". Marriage is the most irrational decision a modern man can make if he wants to survive free and intact. Feminism has ruined the chance for most guys (and women) to have a healthy, fruitful, loving productive relationship. This phenomena, while incredibly frustrating for men, will ultimately hurt women the most. Guys have checked out of the endeavor of finding a wife as its just to dangerous. Billions of women exist on this planet, women are not special. My comment represents the beliefs of millions of Western men, and it's about time too. Share these truths guys.
Same here, became an LVN and feel like I'm behind the bell curve, don't have a wife, kids, and don't have my BSN. Joining the Air Force to help continue my education, and become a Doctor and serve active duty as a surgeon.
I'm in the same fucking situation. Wasted the last decade on drugs and the aftermath when getting halfway sober. Still managed to complete a Master's in Computer Science. The sad part is, there was not much else. Not many women, no new impressions, no personal progress. At 25 and 26 I hated myself for this situation. But now as I'm 27 and my plan seems to work out better and better I'm starting to see that I had to waste time in order to value it even more right now. I had to make these mistakes.
Also 26 and Army. Finally at a point in my life where I feel like I'm mentally able to make some changes that needed to happen years ago. It was action that helped my mind get there. Never too late to become better than we were yesterday. Godspeed to all of you making changes. We got this.
He's getting after it, in his 20's, is not that late getting in the game. I am 46 and am getting after it, finally. It would have been awesome if I'd have started 20 years ago, but I am doing it now. Have No Regrets, just keep getting after it and getting better.
This guy sounds exactly like me. I'm 28 years old and just got promoted at my company after 2 years in an entry level role. I've lost weight, gotten stronger, and am making more money, but feel remorseful about wasting so much time earlier in life. This video has such an encouraging message.
Those are good news but never depend on others to "promote" you. Only you should be worthy of promoting yourself and should do it when the moment arises.
I am 29 years old and I also feel like I have been wasting a lot of time. I do not have any good memory from those 9 years, did not accomplish anything. But it's time to change, time to own my past, and start living my life. I want to have good memories from my 20s, 7 months to go. It's now or never guys, let's do it.
just turned 50 and this hits home. The regrets that have weighed so heavily on me nearly destroyed me. I've lost 60 lbs and get after it every day. Every day I try to be the best me and try to be better than yesterday. Just discovered Jocko and Echo and this podcast. Absolutely love it and believe me it's resonating with this old dude.
I'm 34. I wasted like 10 years of my life. 5 of them inside my room in my bed watching my cellphone or playing computer games. In 2015 I woke up. Lost 53 pounds and bought Discipline Equals Freedom. The path is not easy but is the right one.
@@kidsundance3970 Well, I don't think you are crazy at all, I know people that entered in the military for the money, and vibrated and lived very happy there, what you think is what is important. It is an unusual objective, yes, but man, if you really want it, you can bet a lot of people envy you, go for it.
That is the point. Your wasted years weren't wasted. You have learned what it feels like to be weak and how regret feels like. Together with the realization that nobody is coming to help. it only lets you with 2 choices. Do nothing and live a miserable life or do something about it and get after it. Facing and understanding one's inner fears, demons, addictions, vices, failures and mistakes, let go of the past, be honest, serious, and confident, and pursue what you truly, deeply, and honestly want is the only way forward.
10 years ago, I earned my 1st degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I earned it the year I turned 40. Now, I'm turning 50 this year and I'm not finished. I'm a Navy veteran who loves listening to Jocko. It doesn't matter WHEN you get into the game, the most important thing is that you ARE engaging and getting into the game!
Hey man that's awesome good for you. You're still young enough. I know a guy who started Shotokan Karate at 62 and got his black belt at 65. So, you're doing just fine man. Keep it up 💪💪💪💪
Success in life is the result of good judgment. Good judgment is usually the result of experience. And experience is usually the result of bad judgement.
Thank you for this clip. I sometimes get it in my head that because I'm also 26, and going through trade school as a Vet that I'm getting into the game too late. I have to put weak thoughts like that out of my mind and keep pushing forward. Keep getting after it in everything I do. I heard this podcast several months ago and it's just more fuel for the fire of discipline. To all you Troopers out there, it's never too late. That's only in your head. Stay on the path of Discipline. Stay Hard.
27 and getting after it. Started welding school, started exercising regularly, stopped blowing my money on trivial things (fast food, beer, material things, etc) and started saving, and now I'm pushing myself to be more open and interactive with people outside of my (small) inner circle.. Still lots of room for improvement in my life, like my erratic sleep schedule, but I'm working on it
Awesome man! Congrats! I’m 35 and it took me almost 3 years on and off to shake an alcohol and bad drug habit that lingered from my mid - late 20s..i got arrested, lost my license, lost my job and my Gf at that time... I contemplated just ending this thing numerous times and then found folks like jocko, Goggins, Rich Roll and of Course GOD..I’m currently back working, down 50lbs on my goal, have a girl that loves me for me and supports me training for my first Ultra marathon in the spring. I get the feeling of regret all the time. I just realized it will always be there if I allow it to be. Regret is a bad neighborhood in the mind you should never walk through alone, especially at night..so I’m trying to look forward everyday and realize that that’s the person I was (under the influence) and not the person who I am and in the process of Becoming.. don’t even know you yet very very happy for your successes because I know what that pain and suffering feels like first hand! Keep grinding homie because at the end of the day, Who’s gonna carry the MF boats and the logs!! That’s right, youuubuddy 🚣 💪🏼 #2020 #letsgo
I needed to hear these words at this exact moment in my life. As long as you are alive it is NEVER too late to make the change and to take control of your life.
Stopped consuming cannabis one week ago yesterday, just put in my letter of resignation today after 2+ years of toiling around in an unstable industry, what am I to do? Get After It and Get Some!
@@thehonkening1 In university I had friends addicted to weed, their life is a complete mess now, sorry to say but they are nothing but losers. I did weed too but gladly I only smoked like 4 times, I was into pills. Man keep it clean. Let's try to do something great with our lives
Great video, congratulations to this young man. I'm pushing 40 and only feel im now getting in the game. I have had things that I have accomplished but only now really feel I'm making my path. Having said that, every day I'm out their showing my kids my mistakes, how to avoid them, and how to get after what they want. There is no time looking back with regret, it's a waste of energy and only causes depression. Learn from it and move on in a positive way. Discipline Equals Freedom!!
Robert, would you care to tell me what are your objectives now that you are in the game? I mean, Discipline gives you your better self, the structure anyone should have to accomplish any dream or objective, but I wonder, what are your Personal objectives now? I mean, really personal, that is not about your kids, but that you want.
A wise man once told me “To soon old to late smart”. At the time I was a punk kid and thought yeah whatever and blew it off. Several decades later and that statement couldn’t be any closer to the truth. Congrats and stay on the path. I’m 51 and fell off the path for a lost decade and then enter Jocko! Now on the path and getting stronger everyday. Get Some!
I'm 39 and just got my shit together 6 months ago after daily drinking for 20 years. It's hard to think about where I'd be if I had had more stable income and could have invested and researched more when I was younger(instead of getting drunk and playing COD) so I could already be financially independent, but at least I am finally starting that path, and it's not too late. Part of why I drank so much and often was from living in the past and letting regrets beat me up; no more!
“How I’ve been a Horse’s Ass” is the title of a journal that has us take a look at the times that we haven’t been up to par. It doesn’t ask us to beat ourselves up, but just something to keep ourselves and our egos in balance. This is the fourth journal I use by this author. His approach is nicely set up in the journal’s intro.
I was a motherfucking gamer too mainly because I'm autistic and have a lot of mental disordres. COVID felt like a miracle to feed into my worthless behind but it also munched away a lot of my time. Not to mention my fear of the world diminished me quite a bit.
11 months ago I got fed up with my doctor suggesting weightloss surgery and signed up for planet fitness and started caring about what I put in my body. Exercise, eating good food,discipline,and positivity have helped me drop 120lbs so far! I'm not done yet either. GET SOME!!
@Tv 5150 and unfortunately some people are just negative in general and assume the worst of people. You sir have no clue of my history my habits my activity or my doctor! But thank you for wasting ur insignificant time to show me ur a douche bag. Try some positivity in ur life brochacho maybe you wont come off as a ass hole!
I listen to you and apply it to my set of circumstances even though it isn’t about working out or being involved with one of the armed services. I am 58 year old woman who had lots of excuses. I would tell myself... I am too old, too tired and don’t have enough time. Now I get up 4am, which only gives me 4 hours sleep a night because I work 14 hour days.. I have lost 60lbs and have spent over 25 hours on my cover letter and resume so I will get the job/career I need to be in, to make a difference in the world. I take online classes to achieve this and you have helped me see me and what I need to change in my self perception. Thank you
Hello Shelly, I was scanning through these comments and yours struck me as quite inspirational ! As it's 7 months past your posting, I hope that your hard work has paid off on your goals . The nice thing about Jocko's message is that,it transcends us all,civilian or not!. By taking care of yourself,and improving,you become happier, healthier and more productive. This benefits you,your friends and family,and ultimately your own little piece of the world. That's being a positive citizen. Good job for making those positive changes for yourself... You should feel proud. Keep up the good work, and be well and strong ! Kind regards, Shawn
Thanks so much for writing this! I am also a 58 y.o. woman. I have a lot of regrets, mainly moving away from my family to marry a clunker/alcoholic. But…my mom and sister are a three hour drive away. They’re not in the other side of the country; we can visit. My kids didn’t grow up there, as I wish they had, but we visited. My mom even lived with us for three years. So the kids are close to my family; even though I wish I’d raised them out there, and they had grown up more immersed in the lives of their cousins, they still are quite close. There’s something to build on. I want to find a way to live part time in both places (here, where I have an adult son, and there). And to bring my mom out here for more long stays. We’re all still alive and can still love each other. And I want to finish my degree, and gain financial independence so I can have an independent life. Only 8-10 classes left. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
I'm 32 and have been feeling that way. I realize it's now or never to make a late run for my goals and dreams that I should have went after 10 or more years ago.
"You're the one that did it! You went through a much bigger transition than I've ever gone through in my life." Soak that up. Soak it up. Love this podcast.
I'm 28 and I just find myself in this place where I know appreciate myself. I have doubted myself all my life and today, I know how powerful I am, if I choose to have the right attitude. I'm getting rid of anything that is toxic in my life: cigarettes, alcohol, junk food, negatives people etc.
I come from a long line of junkies (wonderful people but addicts all the same) needless to say discipline was never in my repertoire lol; but people like Jocko and Echo help me stay grounded, thanks to them, I'm working out, meditating and finally acknowledging the internal failings that led me to where I am and cause me to feel the shit i feel. Bless you brothers ✌🏽✌🏽
Life is lived in the present. the past is gone and all that egrets will do is distract you from what you need to do today. Mistakes are lessons, learn from them and do better, let them drive you. Awesome turnaround in that guy's life, awesome.
There’s no such thing as wasted time, everything is a journey. Without the wasted time you never would’ve figured out how to spend time efficiently. Life is simply a journey of the soul.
I have been training in the fighting arts and physical training for 47 years. Everyone who wants a clear path to success I say " listen to Jocko and apply his knowlege to your own life "
I used to think about all the time I have wasted and where i could be at if i hadn't wasted time, i was only 23. I felt old and once I realized how young I am in the grand scheme of things it brought that motivation and hunger back. All that dwelling on the past gets you is more wasted time! Get after it and succeed.
I'm 17 and feel like I've wasted my life every.single.day Because I'm surrounded by very accomplished people I feel worthless compared to them... I'll listen to this video whenever I feel this way (it's what brought me here in the first place) thank you so much ❤
I just turned 25 and I've been working on my mind, body and soul for years now. 2019 will be another amazing year of growth. I work 40 hours a week as a caregiver, I do martial arts, cage fighting is my career but I'm still an amateur, I have two kids, my oldest is 8. I've been a vegetarian for 2 years and still learning about all the nutrients, herbs, vitamins and minerals that are best for my body. I just started an mma podcast on TH-cam. I want to inspire people to be their best and help make the World a better place. I love this beautiful journey I'm on. I love you all! Peace brothers and sisters
@@jim1934 it's been going great! Thanks for asking. I've been receiving so many blessings I cant believe it. Like I tell my kids, good things happen to good people. My martial arts development is going great. My business is doing well and my family is thriving. I have everything I need and more. Just making the most of everyday and all my opportunities.
August 14, 2018: the day I quit alcohol and marijuana. I haven't touched it since. I quit cigarettes but have relapsed several times and I'll be quitting again starting Friday. Nobody told me I had a problem but you guys, nobody around me knows that I quit except you guys-i just did it. And I got myself into archery just a short while ago. Mental health is an issue for me, I've been through some experiences I never want anyone to go through -but what's more help than my psychologist and psychiatrist and counselors is people like Jocko and Echo and YOU. People who got the courage to try, figure out the path, learn discipline and get after it. I thank you all because I think you all saved my life. Lost 40 lbs too. I'm down to 256, I'm trying for 200 or so, I'll see what feels healthiest. Anyways, I doubt anyone will see this, but if I sound like I used to live the way you do now, or if you're like I am now: keep it up. Stay on the path. You can do it. Get up, get after it. It'll be tough as hell, I'm not gonna lie to you. It'll suck -but only at first, as you adapt. You can adapt. And then you'll be better than you could have imagined. Doesn't matter where you started, what matters is where you're going and that you're getting there. And Jocko and Echo: I'm very grateful for the work you do. There's thousands of people out there who are alive today that wouldn't be because of you two. That's not an embellishment, you're literally saving lives by reaching out to people like me and drawing people together who want to see others successful. I can't thank you enough... I'll quit smoking. Maybe that'll be the proof in my mind that I can be humble and grateful. Maybe it'll teach me positive patience and wisdom? Whatever happens, I want to learn.
Y'all are hammering point after point on so many topics I've been trying to balance within my life over the past 2 or 3 years. Just when I'm feeling a bit burnt out trying to achieve the most - BOOM - motivation; engaged, persistence; engaged ...
took me nine years to get my commercial pilot license because i was fucking around chasing girls and travelling (good experiences i just wished i didnt spend so much money). i regret wasting so much time messing about but now i realise the only thing i can do right now is stay on the path, get those flying hours under my belt and go hard!
This is the best. I literally went through the same as the writer at 39. I best myself up alot the fact I wasted time. Jocko and Goggins changed my life forever this year. Discipline equals freedom!
I'm 24 years old. I got a job outside my country which pays me well and I'm trying to get some money at the moment and start a side hustle along with my job. I've been living in regret for the major part of my life after my teen age. I'm never wasting my time now on. realised this just now. I'm gonna win and that is what matters.
I am 43 and deeply regret not joining the military in my 20’s. I made some poor financial decisions, struggled in life and took on a lot of debt, however I am much wiser and well rounded. I now have a beautiful Son and Wife, great friends, 2 degrees and my health. Never give up, stay strong and find someone or something to love. 💪
I’m 28 years old now, but I wasted 7 years after turning 18 chasing women and partying and alcohol and it got me into a lot of trouble. 3 years since I’ve been working on self improvement and yes I did waste time, but I think it’s never too late. Let’s get it gentleman
Great channel, thank you for what you do, for sharing your knowledge. Those are not wasted years, God can not use you greatly until you have been tested greatly, there will be hardships, stay in the fight! God Bless You All
I admire the hell out of the ones who have decided to go out there and take charge of their lives!! I've come to terms that I will never succeed or excell in life, however I'm glad to see others able to make it, because they've earned it!
If jocko and his conglomerate only knew the change they have given the world . I guess I should speak for myself , to keep it brief it a lot like the young man that wrote the letter in this short video. He says he retired , I say he was promoted to command the civilian sector that are trying out for a new LIFE. If your out there Jocko and amazing team surrounding him thank you , for accepting the mission to better those around you regardless of the distance . Your voice is heard . 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽
Don't regret the time you "wasted". Rejoice the time you spent getting where you are now. You got where you are now because of your past. Most people don't ever get there. It doesn't matter what age you are or how long it took.
I USED TO REGRET LIFE EVERYDAY THAT I WOKE UP AND LOOKED IN THE MIRROR... THAN I FOUND JOCKO AND ECHO... AND THAN I REALIZED NO MATTER WHAT I MUST GET AFTER IT!!! EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SKINNY KNEES
THANK YOU JOCKO for your commitment to helping and guidance! For your attitude, understanding and explaining things as well as you do! Thank You So Much for all you are, do and for being yourself!
I needed this video. First and foremost, what an awesome guy. Those accomplishments are nothing to take lightly. I’m turning thirty this year and it feels like I’m finally starting to get my life together. I’ve recently lost twenty pounds and have been committed to working out and eating right. I started college late, but will graduate next spring. Last month, I was hired on at my first office job after several years of being miserable in the service industry. I know things are looking up, but I’ve had such a hard time suppressing the same feeling and wishing I’d been more serious about life at a younger age. It almost diminishes the accomplishments. I’m going to take this advice to heart going forward and use it to fuel me to be better. Thanks so much for tackling this question!
ive been on a jocko binge for corona getting my shit together and its getting to the point i dont even need to watch the video to know what hes going to say. "if you wasted time and regret it, good. get after it now."
BJJ black belt here. I need structor. Had a fight with the ex and didnt like how i keep on looking back. Jocko's words 'move on'. Starting today im getting at it. 1) Clean my house 2) Do body work out (bjj is it but getting old and cant be like my 20s 3) Study new language 4) Enroll in a course from a book on a 'how to'. The guidance is key here and will need to keep at it. Follow their system 5) Invest and make money while keeping a clear mind. 6) love myself and family. 7) Improve my students from BJJ The other video about regrets is key to me. I have it on mp3 and listen to it on my commute to my day job. Cant let it hold me down. Have to get after it. Already made my plans and will follow it. Displine leads to freedom. And it will also become habitual.
I am sitting here having my last hoorah with beer. Afterwards it will no longer be in my budget. Commencing Monday I am starting my at home gym work out project. I am shooting for a loss of around 33lbs of flab. Took 2 years of listening to Joe, Jordan and Jocko to get me to this point. Thank you Jocko.
The right knowledge gives this kind of result. It can be understood and followed and gives us confidence that we can rely on it. Many thanks to Jocko and Charles for their dedication.

@@jgbecker24 formation of children is heavily dependent on parents to set the example (or lack thereof). If the kid is 15, 20, 25, whatever, then yes, he has an increasing responsibility for how his life turns out based on his increasingly adult decisions. But if a 5 or 7 year old kid is lazy and overweight and a brat because mom and dad did a crumby job parenting their son or daughter, then that really is on the parents. It isn't black and white, as kids get older they become more and more responsible for decisions. The point is that parents have a duty to set their kids on the right path because (I think Aristotle says this too?) humans are creatures of habit. And we can either be habituated badly or rightly. Just my thoughts based on observation and experience
I haven't watched many Jock life lessons yet (lots from Jordan Peterson though), so this one is a new one for me, but it sounds like a motto to engrave in my mind. "discipline=freedom" Thank you!
I couldn't sleep and I was thinking about the time wasted where I failed when I was capable of doing but, still did nothing. And then, I found this video. Thank you Jocko.

illimitableman monk mode for fantastic resourses for men.
If you want to fook your life up go and get married.
Western women are not worth persuing anymore as western women have been utterly ruined by feminism.
With thier feminist indoctrinated narcissistic minds Western women who can hardly cook a meal from basic ingredients or even clean a house sit complaining in a comfortable chair in an airconditioned or heated environment made by men, in factories, designed, built and run by men.
They drive nice cars invented, built and maintained by men.
They use a computer invented and programmed by men, built in a factory by men, using electricity discovered by men, transported on a national grid of power lines that were planned and engineered, maintained and made by men, using electricity generated using methods invented by men, in power stations built by and run by men.
They use the Internet, which uses protocols invented by men, transmitted over cables laid by men, in an international network invented, planned, and made by men. They are fuelled by food that was the result of farms and agriculture planned and created by men, delivered to them by global food networks and transport systems invented and built by men. They are diagnosed and healed from sickness by scientific methods and medicines in hospitals invented and built by men, They live in houses that were invented, planned and built by men, They are entertained by programmes transmitted globally by signal technologies that are beamed directly onto large large and small viewing screens invented and built by men, They are kept warm or cool by technologies invented and built by men, in cities with roads, bridges, shopping malls, movie theatres, hospitals, restaurants and other infrastructure planned and built by men.
They drink clean water piped into their houses by a national network planned and built by men, from reservoirs and treatment plants that were planned, built and run by men. They are protected by laws invented by men, and enforced by men who risk their lives every day to protect citizens, their property and protect their country.
Women enjoy the benefits of everything men discovered, invented, created, built and maintain and are treated equally (by law) and allowed to do anything they wish in the society men created, even if lives are put at risk by allowing women to join by lowering mens higher standards for entry into the military/police and fire services.
And yet there are so many western women who are so privileged and devoid of hardship that they spend their time constantly complaining that all of this is not enough for them, that men should be ashamed, that men have too much in this society that they made, and that men need to give even more to women because they are entitled to it just because they were born a women...and emaculated men agree to it.
Take away everything that men have done, and western feminist indoctrinated women would be sitting outside in the cold rain without anything to eat until a man comes along and offers them shelter, food, warmth and security.
Western women are self-entitled fat ass deluded state weaponised thots who routinely without any guilt steal hard working, faithful honest mens children, wealth and livelyhoods and plunge men into abject poverty or even worse suicide by divorce raping them at a whim with no fault divorce. Western women also wrongly think they are equal to or are superior to men.
What sane man would go anywhere near poisonous parasites like that just for access to poon. its bizarre behaviour for any right thinking man yet these deluded women who bring absolutely nothing to a relationship still complain...
"where have all the good men gone".
Marriage is the most irrational decision a modern man can make if he wants to survive free and intact.
Feminism has ruined the chance for most guys (and women) to have a healthy, fruitful, loving productive relationship.
This phenomena, while incredibly frustrating for men, will ultimately hurt women the most. Guys have checked out of the endeavor of finding a wife as its just to dangerous.
Billions of women exist on this planet, women are not special.
My comment represents the beliefs of millions of Western men, and it's about time too.

I'm in the same fucking situation. Wasted the last decade on drugs and the aftermath when getting halfway sober. Still managed to complete a Master's in Computer Science. The sad part is, there was not much else. Not many women, no new impressions, no personal progress. At 25 and 26 I hated myself for this situation. But now as I'm 27 and my plan seems to work out better and better I'm starting to see that I had to waste time in order to value it even more right now. I had to make these mistakes.
Also 26 and Army. Finally at a point in my life where I feel like I'm mentally able to make some changes that needed to happen years ago. It was action that helped my mind get there. Never too late to become better than we were yesterday. Godspeed to all of you making changes. We got this.
He's getting after it, in his 20's, is not that late getting in the game. I am 46 and am getting after it, finally. It would have been awesome if I'd have started 20 years ago, but I am doing it now. Have No Regrets, just keep getting after it and getting better.
Wish you best man. Go after it.
At the age of 37, yours is the type of comment I need. Don't look back!
Good for you and God Bless!!! 😇🙏
Keep it up man. Gives me hope at 30.
43 here!
Jockos mentality it's amazing. You can make it happen in the yoga room in LA Fitness let's get it on in the yoga room in LA Fitness.
I was actually hoping today that Jocko and Echo would discuss this very topic at some point. Very metal.
This guy sounds exactly like me. I'm 28 years old and just got promoted at my company after 2 years in an entry level role. I've lost weight, gotten stronger, and am making more money, but feel remorseful about wasting so much time earlier in life. This video has such an encouraging message.
Those are good news but never depend on others to "promote" you. Only you should be worthy of promoting yourself and should do it when the moment arises.
I am 29 years old and I also feel like I have been wasting a lot of time. I do not have any good memory from those 9 years, did not accomplish anything. But it's time to change, time to own my past, and start living my life. I want to have good memories from my 20s, 7 months to go. It's now or never guys, let's do it.
I wish you the best. Let's do it.
I'm 28. Same boat. Let's do it.
Hope it's going well bro
'm 28 about to be 29 soon. Same feel. Lets do it.
Turning thirty in a matter of days. Changed my life at 27. Still changing it. Keep pushing forward. Make your 30's the best decade so far.
just turned 50 and this hits home. The regrets that have weighed so heavily on me nearly destroyed me. I've lost 60 lbs and get after it every day. Every day I try to be the best me and try to be better than yesterday. Just discovered Jocko and Echo and this podcast. Absolutely love it and believe me it's resonating with this old dude.
60 lbs, good job. That's impressive!
I'm 34. I wasted like 10 years of my life. 5 of them inside my room in my bed watching my cellphone or playing computer games. In 2015 I woke up. Lost 53 pounds and bought Discipline Equals Freedom. The path is not easy but is the right one.
What are your main objectives right now?
@@lucaskazama878 take the test of the French Foreign Legion later this year or at the beginning of 2020
@@kidsundance3970 So you want to become a military agent. Good for you I guess, as long as it gives you pleasure, cool.
Thanks for answering me.
@@lucaskazama878 I'm not crazy but I like the military. And I want to earn money too. And live in Europe if possible
@@kidsundance3970 Well, I don't think you are crazy at all, I know people that entered in the military for the money, and vibrated and lived very happy there, what you think is what is important. It is an unusual objective, yes, but man, if you really want it, you can bet a lot of people envy you, go for it.
That is the point. Your wasted years weren't wasted. You have learned what it feels like to be weak and how regret feels like. Together with the realization that nobody is coming to help. it only lets you with 2 choices. Do nothing and live a miserable life or do something about it and get after it. Facing and understanding one's inner fears, demons, addictions, vices, failures and mistakes, let go of the past, be honest, serious, and confident, and pursue what you truly, deeply, and honestly want is the only way forward.
The only thing I got over was my mental disorders but that's about it.
Thank you ❤
10 years ago, I earned my 1st degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I earned it the year I turned 40. Now, I'm turning 50 this year and I'm not finished. I'm a Navy veteran who loves listening to Jocko. It doesn't matter WHEN you get into the game, the most important thing is that you ARE engaging and getting into the game!
Kudos to you.
Hey man that's awesome good for you. You're still young enough. I know a guy who started Shotokan Karate at 62 and got his black belt at 65. So, you're doing just fine man. Keep it up 💪💪💪💪
i’m 10th prestige in C O D played all night but i made it 👍🏽
Worst regret is knowing what you could have done but chose not to out of comfort. It's hell on Earth and completely shatters your brain
that's so true.. going through the same
Success in life is the result of good judgment. Good judgment is usually the result of experience. And experience is usually the result of bad judgement.
Thank you for this clip. I sometimes get it in my head that because I'm also 26, and going through trade school as a Vet that I'm getting into the game too late. I have to put weak thoughts like that out of my mind and keep pushing forward. Keep getting after it in everything I do. I heard this podcast several months ago and it's just more fuel for the fire of discipline. To all you Troopers out there, it's never too late. That's only in your head. Stay on the path of Discipline. Stay Hard.
You're not getting in late brother, I started my welding career 4 years ago, i turn 33 I'm Feb, get after it!
27 and getting after it. Started welding school, started exercising regularly, stopped blowing my money on trivial things (fast food, beer, material things, etc) and started saving, and now I'm pushing myself to be more open and interactive with people outside of my (small) inner circle.. Still lots of room for improvement in my life, like my erratic sleep schedule, but I'm working on it

Are you Alive? Good for you man
Great video, congratulations to this young man. I'm pushing 40 and only feel im now getting in the game. I have had things that I have accomplished but only now really feel I'm making my path. Having said that, every day I'm out their showing my kids my mistakes, how to avoid them, and how to get after what they want. There is no time looking back with regret, it's a waste of energy and only causes depression. Learn from it and move on in a positive way. Discipline Equals Freedom!!

Robert, would you care to tell me what are your objectives now that you are in the game? I mean, Discipline gives you your better self, the structure anyone should have to accomplish any dream or objective, but I wonder, what are your Personal objectives now? I mean, really personal, that is not about your kids, but that you want.
A wise man once told me “To soon old to late smart”. At the time I was a punk kid and thought yeah whatever and blew it off. Several decades later and that statement couldn’t be any closer to the truth. Congrats and stay on the path. I’m 51 and fell off the path for a lost decade and then enter Jocko! Now on the path and getting stronger everyday. Get Some!
I'm 39 and just got my shit together 6 months ago after daily drinking for 20 years. It's hard to think about where I'd be if I had had more stable income and could have invested and researched more when I was younger(instead of getting drunk and playing COD) so I could already be financially independent, but at least I am finally starting that path, and it's not too late. Part of why I drank so much and often was from living in the past and letting regrets beat me up; no more!
“How I’ve been a Horse’s Ass” is the title of a journal that has us take a look at the times that we haven’t been up to par. It doesn’t ask us to beat ourselves up, but just something to keep ourselves and our egos in balance. This is the fourth journal I use by this author. His approach is nicely set up in the journal’s intro.
I was a motherfucking gamer too mainly because I'm autistic and have a lot of mental disordres. COVID felt like a miracle to feed into my worthless behind but it also munched away a lot of my time. Not to mention my fear of the world diminished me quite a bit.
11 months ago I got fed up with my doctor suggesting weightloss surgery and signed up for planet fitness and started caring about what I put in my body. Exercise, eating good food,discipline,and positivity have helped me drop 120lbs so far! I'm not done yet either. GET SOME!!
That’s awesome! Congratulations my dude. Keep up the great work 💯
@Tv 5150 and unfortunately some people are just negative in general and assume the worst of people. You sir have no clue of my history my habits my activity or my doctor! But thank you for wasting ur insignificant time to show me ur a douche bag. Try some positivity in ur life brochacho maybe you wont come off as a ass hole!
I listen to you and apply it to my set of circumstances even though it isn’t about working out or being involved with one of the armed services. I am 58 year old woman who had lots of excuses. I would tell myself... I am too old, too tired and don’t have enough time. Now I get up 4am, which only gives me 4 hours sleep a night because I work 14 hour days.. I have lost 60lbs and have spent over 25 hours on my cover letter and resume so I will get the job/career I need to be in, to make a difference in the world. I take online classes to achieve this and you have helped me see me and what I need to change in my self perception. Thank you
Hello Shelly,
I was scanning through these comments and yours struck me as quite inspirational ! As it's 7 months past your posting, I hope that your hard work has paid off on your goals . The nice thing about Jocko's message is that,it transcends us all,civilian or not!. By taking care of yourself,and improving,you become happier, healthier and more productive. This benefits you,your friends and family,and ultimately your own little piece of the world. That's being a positive citizen. Good job for making those positive changes for yourself... You should feel proud. Keep up the good work, and be well and strong !
Kind regards, Shawn
I definitely can relate to you. I'm 57. Thanks and congratulations 🎉
Thanks so much for writing this! I am also a 58 y.o. woman. I have a lot of regrets, mainly moving away from my family to marry a clunker/alcoholic. But…my mom and sister are a three hour drive away. They’re not in the other side of the country; we can visit. My kids didn’t grow up there, as I wish they had, but we visited. My mom even lived with us for three years. So the kids are close to my family; even though I wish I’d raised them out there, and they had grown up more immersed in the lives of their cousins, they still are quite close. There’s something to build on. I want to find a way to live part time in both places (here, where I have an adult son, and there). And to bring my mom out here for more long stays. We’re all still alive and can still love each other. And I want to finish my degree, and gain financial independence so I can have an independent life. Only 8-10 classes left. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
I'm 32 and have been feeling that way. I realize it's now or never to make a late run for my goals and dreams that I should have went after 10 or more years ago.
33.
Lets roll.
Good luck.
I start work, Thursday. First "real" job. Get after it!
You’re 32 Good doesn’t matter if you’re coming a bit late in the game GET AFTER IT Son
You got this!
I'm 33 I wasted the last 10 years of my life, plus high school was a waste I never learned anything!
I feel the same....
"You're the one that did it! You went through a much bigger transition than I've ever gone through in my life." Soak that up. Soak it up. Love this podcast.
Yesssss! "I'm not who I use to be, but who i use to be is made me who i am today. "
The supportive mindset you promote is truly a warrior gift.
I have come to associate Jocko's voice with my 6am morning walks.
I'm 28 and I just find myself in this place where I know appreciate myself. I have doubted myself all my life and today, I know how powerful I am, if I choose to have the right attitude. I'm getting rid of anything that is toxic in my life: cigarettes, alcohol, junk food, negatives people etc.
"I have doubted myself all my life and today" i felt that....every single decision im my life. It's time to live under our rules!!
I come from a long line of junkies (wonderful people but addicts all the same) needless to say discipline was never in my repertoire lol; but people like Jocko and Echo help me stay grounded, thanks to them, I'm working out, meditating and finally acknowledging the internal failings that led me to where I am and cause me to feel the shit i feel. Bless you brothers ✌🏽✌🏽
This feels very appropriate to me this morning as it’s something that has been weighing on my mind.
thank you fighters greetings from kosovo albanian keep doing this you are treasure
Life is lived in the present. the past is gone and all that egrets will do is distract you from what you need to do today. Mistakes are lessons, learn from them and do better, let them drive you. Awesome turnaround in that guy's life, awesome.
There’s no such thing as wasted time, everything is a journey. Without the wasted time you never would’ve figured out how to spend time efficiently. Life is simply a journey of the soul.
I have been training in the fighting arts and physical training for 47 years.
Everyone who wants a clear path to success
I say " listen to Jocko and apply his knowlege to your own life "
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is the gift
That is why it is called the present.
I used to think about all the time I have wasted and where i could be at if i hadn't wasted time, i was only 23. I felt old and once I realized how young I am in the grand scheme of things it brought that motivation and hunger back. All that dwelling on the past gets you is more wasted time! Get after it and succeed.
I'm 17 and feel like I've wasted my life every.single.day
Because I'm surrounded by very accomplished people I feel worthless compared to them...
I'll listen to this video whenever I feel this way (it's what brought me here in the first place) thank you so much ❤
Comparison is the thief of joy

Every wise man was once a fool

I just turned 25 and I've been working on my mind, body and soul for years now. 2019 will be another amazing year of growth. I work 40 hours a week as a caregiver, I do martial arts, cage fighting is my career but I'm still an amateur, I have two kids, my oldest is 8. I've been a vegetarian for 2 years and still learning about all the nutrients, herbs, vitamins and minerals that are best for my body. I just started an mma podcast on TH-cam.

Good for you. It's been a year, how is it going?
@@jim1934 it's been going great! Thanks for asking. I've been receiving so many blessings I cant believe it. Like I tell my kids, good things happen to good people.

August 14, 2018: the day I quit alcohol and marijuana. I haven't touched it since. I quit cigarettes but have relapsed several times and I'll be quitting again starting Friday. Nobody told me I had a problem but you guys, nobody around me knows that I quit except you guys-i just did it. And I got myself into archery just a short while ago. Mental health is an issue for me, I've been through some experiences I never want anyone to go through -but what's more help than my psychologist and psychiatrist and counselors is people like Jocko and Echo and YOU. People who got the courage to try, figure out the path, learn discipline and get after it. I thank you all because I think you all saved my life. Lost 40 lbs too. I'm down to 256, I'm trying for 200 or so, I'll see what feels healthiest.
Anyways, I doubt anyone will see this, but if I sound like I used to live the way you do now, or if you're like I am now: keep it up. Stay on the path. You can do it. Get up, get after it. It'll be tough as hell, I'm not gonna lie to you. It'll suck -but only at first, as you adapt. You can adapt. And then you'll be better than you could have imagined. Doesn't matter where you started, what matters is where you're going and that you're getting there.
And Jocko and Echo: I'm very grateful for the work you do. There's thousands of people out there who are alive today that wouldn't be because of you two. That's not an embellishment, you're literally saving lives by reaching out to people like me and drawing people together who want to see others successful. I can't thank you enough... I'll quit smoking. Maybe that'll be the proof in my mind that I can be humble and grateful. Maybe it'll teach me positive patience and wisdom? Whatever happens, I want to learn.
Y'all are hammering point after point on so many topics I've been trying to balance within my life over the past 2 or 3 years. Just when I'm feeling a bit burnt out trying to achieve the most - BOOM - motivation; engaged, persistence; engaged ...
took me nine years to get my commercial pilot license because i was fucking around chasing girls and travelling (good experiences i just wished i didnt spend so much money).
i regret wasting so much time messing about but now i realise the only thing i can do right now is stay on the path, get those flying hours under my belt and go hard!
This is the best. I literally went through the same as the writer at 39. I best myself up alot the fact I wasted time. Jocko and Goggins changed my life forever this year. Discipline equals freedom!
Echo sounds like he’s about to cry every time he talks :))
"Wasted 12 years". Yeah, I've been down that road too.... But I'll find a way to change that.
I'm 24 years old. I got a job outside my country which pays me well and I'm trying to get some money at the moment and start a side hustle along with my job. I've been living in regret for the major part of my life after my teen age. I'm never wasting my time now on. realised this just now. I'm gonna win and that is what matters.
I am 43 and deeply regret not joining the military in my 20’s. I made some poor financial decisions, struggled in life and took on a lot of debt, however I am much wiser and well rounded. I now have a beautiful Son and Wife, great friends, 2 degrees and my health. Never give up, stay strong and find someone or something to love. 💪
I’m 28 years old now, but I wasted 7 years after turning 18 chasing women and partying and alcohol and it got me into a lot of trouble. 3 years since I’ve been working on self improvement and yes I did waste time, but I think it’s never too late. Let’s get it gentleman
This video and the commentaries are too real, and really good as well. Thank you all.
Y’all are legit. Calling out a man and his achievements! Satisfying.
Always forward. Never a step back. Not even to obtain a boost!
Great channel, thank you for what you do, for sharing your knowledge. Those are not wasted years, God can not use you greatly until you have been tested greatly, there will be hardships, stay in the fight! God Bless You All
Man that dude is a beast....I wish to know him...he got back his life by himself by listening to wise people...
That story in the beginning. Really needed that. Thank you for your service, Jocko!
"The highest human act is to inspire" not a lot of people manage to do that in life, you allready did it at least once at 26, thats great man
I admire the hell out of the ones who have decided to go out there and take charge of their lives!! I've come to terms that I will never succeed or excell in life, however I'm glad to see others able to make it, because they've earned it!
If jocko and his conglomerate only knew the change they have given the world . I guess I should speak for myself , to keep it brief it a lot like the young man that wrote the letter in this short video. He says he retired , I say he was promoted to command the civilian sector that are trying out for a new LIFE. If your out there Jocko and amazing team surrounding him thank you , for accepting the mission to better those around you regardless of the distance . Your voice is heard . 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽
Don't regret the time you "wasted". Rejoice the time you spent getting where you are now. You got where you are now because of your past. Most people don't ever get there. It doesn't matter what age you are or how long it took.
I USED TO REGRET LIFE EVERYDAY THAT I WOKE UP AND LOOKED IN THE MIRROR...
THAN I FOUND JOCKO AND ECHO...
AND THAN I REALIZED NO MATTER WHAT I MUST GET AFTER IT!!!
EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SKINNY KNEES
How can you have skinny knees? Knees is a damn bone!
Skinny knees just mean your quads and calves will stand out more, IF you never skip leg day!
Just get amputation. Im tired of your skinny knees
@notlikeu it's a joke lmao
THANK YOU JOCKO for your commitment to helping and guidance! For your attitude, understanding and explaining things as well as you do! Thank You So Much for all you are, do and for being yourself!
Pray you all are wise.
With how your time is spent,

“You are in the game now, and all those wasted years were not wasted, you were learning”
I needed this video. First and foremost, what an awesome guy. Those accomplishments are nothing to take lightly. I’m turning thirty this year and it feels like I’m finally starting to get my life together. I’ve recently lost twenty pounds and have been committed to working out and eating right. I started college late, but will graduate next spring. Last month, I was hired on at my first office job after several years of being miserable in the service industry. I know things are looking up, but I’ve had such a hard time suppressing the same feeling and wishing I’d been more serious about life at a younger age. It almost diminishes the accomplishments. I’m going to take this advice to heart going forward and use it to fuel me to be better. Thanks so much for tackling this question!
good luck Jessica!
ive been on a jocko binge for corona getting my shit together and its getting to the point i dont even need to watch the video to know what hes going to say. "if you wasted time and regret it, good. get after it now."
BJJ black belt here. I need structor. Had a fight with the ex and didnt like how i keep on looking back. Jocko's words 'move on'. Starting today im getting at it.
1) Clean my house
2) Do body work out (bjj is it but getting old and cant be like my 20s
3) Study new language
4) Enroll in a course from a book on a 'how to'. The guidance is key here and will need to keep at it. Follow their system
5) Invest and make money while keeping a clear mind.
6) love myself and family.
7) Improve my students from BJJ
The other video about regrets is key to me. I have it on mp3 and listen to it on my commute to my day job. Cant let it hold me down. Have to get after it. Already made my plans and will follow it. Displine leads to freedom. And it will also become habitual.
Billy Graham does a nice sermon on the importance of time in our lives. Worth a watch too.
It's never too late because it's not about how many years u lived.. But it's about what u did in the years u were truly living
The deadlift improvement so had to be Jocko's tea
@Xaxa xa wtf is a crosslift deadlift? How????? Can a deadlift be ANYTHING other than a deadlift? Youre doing me a confuse...
barerobert yeah, even in legit powerlifting meets they allow a little back rounding. But not hitching.
@Xaxa xa
if it's a one rep max there might be "non perfect" form, I don't see anything wrong with that.
Doubt he got to that number with bad form.
This podcast is actually perfect,,, both of their personalities work so well together
I am sitting here having my last hoorah with beer. Afterwards it will no longer be in my budget. Commencing Monday I am starting my at home gym work out project. I am shooting for a loss of around 33lbs of flab. Took 2 years of listening to Joe, Jordan and Jocko to get me to this point. Thank you Jocko.
spent 5 years of my life, and it's a regret and a guilt with no measure, 22 and I'm taking my first steps to my porpoise, slowly but smoothly.
How is it going ?
The right knowledge gives this kind of result. It can be understood and followed and gives us confidence that we can rely on it. Many thanks to Jocko and Charles for their dedication.
Never to late to get in the game. The mind is always trainable.
As a 26 year old, this makes me feel better. Let’s get it brothers and sisters.
Jocko and Echo are undeniably legit
My parents didn't even teach me discipline, especially diet, so my whole childhood was wasted time. 👍👍👍

@@jgbecker24 formation of children is heavily dependent on parents to set the example (or lack thereof). If the kid is 15, 20, 25, whatever, then yes, he has an increasing responsibility for how his life turns out based on his increasingly adult decisions. But if a 5 or 7 year old kid is lazy and overweight and a brat because mom and dad did a crumby job parenting their son or daughter, then that really is on the parents. It isn't black and white, as kids get older they become more and more responsible for decisions. The point is that parents have a duty to set their kids on the right path because (I think Aristotle says this too?) humans are creatures of habit. And we can either be habituated badly or rightly.
Just my thoughts based on observation and experience
And yes, be thankful for your parents! They're human too
Legit I'm crying for that guy bro :,)
Your the man keep on your righteous path an helping the human race.
So true about bad times and a persons weak times are not wasted if you push through and beyond them. Turns into ‘fuel’

Came into the game at the age of 31. So don't you worry kid we are all in the same boat.
jocko you give me so much hope man

I literally wanted a video on this exact topic from Jocko. I can't believe it exists. Thanks :)
I haven't watched many Jock life lessons yet (lots from Jordan Peterson though), so this one is a new one for me, but it sounds like a motto to engrave in my mind. "discipline=freedom" Thank you!
I couldn't sleep and I was thinking about the time wasted where I failed when I was capable of doing but, still did nothing.
And then,
I found this video. Thank you Jocko.
Thinking about time wasted...good, use it as fuel to get some brother! Yeah that got me pumped up!!
Pain stems from yesterday's sorrows and tomorrow's fears
Life changing, thank you guys.
