Half the battle is getting out of bed in the morning.
And that is completely true. Get up earlier than you want to and you're already motivated immediately.
Very true, but in my case it`s cold cider.
you can just avoid the battle at all by going to bed an hour earlier lol
Hardest thing I do
cold beer YOU HAVE NO IDEA my friend. We are starring at Disciplinary Action, Surgery, tons of overnight snow, sales reports, inventory etc but we go anyways
Question: How do I do x?
Jocko: Do x.
Ugugublu its Aristotelian ethics. your question is its own answer. "how do I get great at x"? do it. by great at it. that simple. change occurs that way from the second states of being are opposed. the second you go from not doing it to doing it, you already effected the first and most crucial step to getting it done
I see what you mean. What he says and most how he says it though is always a little on the edge between inspirational/demonstrative and a silly oversimplification.
Life is more simple than people think.
Simple, but not easy.
I agree with Mr. Jocko. However, I wish that he had elaborated on the thought processes that entail "just moving forward." The importance of rituals, prepping your gear (for me--the coffee maker) the night before. At the age of 51, I know that going to the gym is ALWAYS better than not going--even if it's just getting the blood flowing. Jocko is a great role-model. A little more civilian-friendly (multiple response strategies) might be useful. I'm a veteran, so I get where he's coming from. Much respect!
Every young man should listen to this podcast whilst growing up. In this day and age when there arent many male role models, Jocko is a Gem.
JACKSTER CRACKSTER Hell Jocko isn't just a male role model, he's a general role model for man or woman. I'm obsessed with Extreme Ownership.

JUDE JOESHORE - so you changed your name from a stupid name to an even stupider name, well played, sir
JUDE JOESHORE he said nothing impressive
Reminds me of my dad.
Us as kids: "I don't feel like doing this."
"Dad: "So? Do it and it'll be done."
Straight up Jedi.
Now that's a father everyone would love to have growing up, not like today's soyboy fathers
Boss 🙌🏼

If I was moaning about having to do something as a kid, my dad would say "you could have done it by now!".
You have got to be proud about your dad mike, really that’s amazing.
I’m 30 years old. I’ve spent my life wasting it away, and I’ve been in a dark place for most of it. Over the last few weeks I’ve been watching your podcast, and it’s saved me. I can see some resemblance of a light now, and it grows brighter every day. This podcast literally saved my life...I can’t thank you enough Jocko.
Love to hear it, let's go champ 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Keep going. You got this.
I just want to tell you guys; at 30, I started college. I’m going to achieve what I think I’m capable of. This podcast, the comments on them, you guys...just fucking awesome! A few months ago, I didn’t want to live. After listening to this podcast; I’ve never felt more knowledgeable, capable, and willing. I’ve felt the felling “hey, it’s going to be ok” more from watching this podcast than I felt with my last GF; a 5 and 1/2 year relationship. Just keep being yourself people, that’s the best person you could ever be.
@@cm202 That's awesome Chris, well done my friend. Keep on shining 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Yeah try not having a family, love of your life of 8 years dying to a drunk driver and being told at 28 years old that your kidneys are failing and you need dialysis to save your life all while having to work full time so you don’t become homeless. Your life’s ez, let’s trade shoes!
Jocko and Jordan Peterson changed my life. Thank God for men like them.
Luke Youne don't forgot about big joe Rogan without whom I would know neither

+turbodieselracing It starts here. We'll name it, "Get After It" and to enter it starts with 4:30 wake up.
Ditto!!
remember: motivation is a feeling. discipline isnt
Discipline is a decision.
Due to the feeling of motivation, we can make a disciplined decision
@@hoffpro9287 motivation is bs. It's a feeling that comes and goes. Depending on discipline is loser's game. Discipline is doing it anyway because it's the right thing to do, your duty.
@@ThePasindu depending on motivation*
Q: How do I get closer to the microphone?
A: You just get closer to the microphone. Now... When you feel the microphone in your gut, then you can back off and adjust the audio settings... But until you FEEL that electricity inside your bowels, you just need to lean in, lean in again, and Get. Closer. To. That. Microphone. That's what you gotta do.
thanks for the laugh
😂
Hahahahahaha
lolll
Bahahahaha!!!
My most fulfilling workouts are the ones I really don’t want to do.
Damn true.
Always
That's how injuries happen
@@isa9ja lmao same bro , my most fullfilling are the ones i am looking forward too
@@isa9ja excuses
I just showed this video to my 7 year old daughter because she didn't want to go to a extra dance class. After the video, she got her stuff and is going to the class. Thanks Jocko!
Tony D I showed this video to my 4 year old daughter and she ships out to Afghanistan tomorrow morning
How about you motivate them yourself instead of getting some random guy on TH-cam to do it. Lazy shit
I showed this video to my cat. He is now a lion.
@@Brooza whatever works. You don't listen to music or anything uplifting?
I showed this to my wife. She’s finally packed her bags and left
Jocko, I have a problem... what's your advice?
"Have you considered NOT having that problem?"
...Of course!
Geoff Dick hahahha straight to point. This is no. 1 bullshit.
He didnt talk us about his bad day.. he just pull some superman bullshit.
You have a problem? GOOD, here’s how you not have a problem
Yay
This obviously doesn't completely apply, maybe not at all, if you're suffering from mental illness, as that's a whole different ballgame.
However, on those days where you're just feeling lazy, this absolutely does apply.

Bro wtf
LMAO, Imagine him reading this comment
Why was he a SEAL team commander? THIS.
BECAUSE HE WAS A SEAL COMMANDER. And he killed enemies and broke things With incredible effectiveness.
He was a 'seal commander' because they employ predatory scumbags, where else are you going to put them?
@@ThunderAppeal I see you weren’t, your logic is flawed.
@@ThunderAppeal Predatory scumbags wouldnt last in the teams for the most part. You obviously dont know much of what youre talking about. Probably don't even know the traits of an individual with antisocial disorder. Making opinions with half baked knowledge, like most of you fucking morons
“Jocko I have crippling anxiety”
Jocko “now STOP having anxiety”
Evan Love sometimes if you will it enough it works. I’m not talking about people with chronic anxiety who need to take pills and shit but the average person needs to shut that voice in their head up and go do the thing that needs to be done. Once it’s over you end up feeling stronger and more confident so next time something bad happens you’re more calm without even noticing.
@@PorkotylerClips yep. Worked for me
That's no excuse bro, Discipline fixes many things
@@PorkotylerClips in the end it’s never the pills, the people, the therapy or anything else that helps you. Everything you need is inside of yourself
Or just do it anyway. Go for jog until you feel good about the work you put in in your darkest hour
Don’t wanna die yet? Then don’t die.
welp dude's been a SEAL and still alive so I guess it worked
wait until tomorrow
it’s that easy
Just sleep enough at night and you should be good. People wear out because they don't sleep well.
Very true!!
Paco Aguilar edgy.
hybby Now that's true! For years I used to believe leaders like Margaret Thatcher who slept like 4hrs a night. But I came to realize from exhaustion, that's plain nonsense!
Laser Sharp ha jocko does not agree... although i do
Laser Sharp if you wanna be ordinary keep doing that
I feel like I have an advantage over people who haven't listened these.
Mikeli, you are right.
Your life is 50% competition & this knowledge will be your biggest edge over them.
I feel you man, just remember to act on it

Me listening to this before I Go to sleep: “GET OUT OF BED”
if this guy doesn't motivate you, nothing will.

One name David goggins trust me he King of no excuses go see him then you can make that statement he went beyond human potential
Not motivated? Good.
heebrew salad if he doesn’t motivate you, no need to fear....there’s also David Goggins.
The interesting thing about motivation is that it's never there when you need it. It's an emotional state. Don't rely on a state of emotion to get you through things. For example when to get out of bed. Look for inspiration, not motivation.
The days when you don't feel like it are the most powerful days you can be offered. this is where true strength is built.
I showed this to my wife. She’s finally packed her bags and left
Hahahahaha
I listen to this everyday before clocking in for work. Best way to get in the right mindset.
Sounds like u need a new job lol
Is his wife aware of his relationship to that microphone
😂💔
Man, I need to set this audio clip up as my morning alarm!
He's kind of like a modern day samurai who does his training daily anyway because he has to get stronger, draws his sword and march towards the enemy although he's shit scared, and act like a samurai although he feels weak and vulnerable.
Matt implying jocko gets scares
Everybody feels scared. It takes courage to overcome them.
Courage is not the absence of fear.
It's not that he's less scared than anyone else.. He's just more brave.
Everyone feels some level of fear, to varying degrees, when faced with danger. Some people are naturally brave, others have to build up their bravery muscles. The fear almost never fades, you just get better at handling it.
Nothing can ever beat Jocko's steel-hard discipline-not even Jocko himself!:)My day was pretty tough and I was feeling exhausted. Then, I just listened to THIS and felt a rush of energy slowly engulfing my body and soul...Magic?No, it's just me getting my daily fix of motivation courtesy Jocko and Echo.
Every time I don't feel like doing something, I hear Jocko in my head.
Cada vez que não tenho vontade de fazer algo, ouço Jocko na minha cabeça.
This guy matters more than he'll ever acknowledge. Thanks Jocko, Echo and team!
This got me out of bed this morning
...........lo

john doe lol took words from me
These comments are scary..
@Goodfight Bromanmore like a hint of desperation ffs.
Bro just knowing that Jocko even has those days sincerely helped me just now
I got a serious man-crush on this guy.

Woah. One of the best motivational videos I have EVER seen. Rest is the ONLY thing to put off until tomorrow. Procrastinate on rest. Very insightful mindset of elite high-performance and discipline. GAME CHANGER.
The days when you’re really not feeling it should motivate you more. Because those are the ones that matter the most.
It's a good thing the video is black and white so you can't see how much Jocko's mic is blushing from that absolute love making it's getting
every day is a fight i just want to sleep the whole day i don't know why it's crazy but jocko keeps me alive
I was given some great advice about 10 years ago by a mate: Don't think about it, just do it.
*jocko motivates*
oh hell yeah I can't wait to get shit done tomorrow
*watches another TH-cam video*
Dr Zeus best comment ☝🏼
I always knew that whenever I work out, my mind and brain just functions better like a well oiled machine. I thought it was just dopamine but Dr. Andrew Huberman talks about it how osteocalcin is released by stress on the bones by weight training and how it strengthens neural connectivity.
Since then, no matter how behind I am with my studies and other life obligations, I always make my way to the gym afterwards.
_”Be comfortable not being comfortable”_
*_- David Goggins_*
I watch this when I'm on the fence about going to the gym. I just need to get to the 54 second mark where he grits his teeth and I'm gone. So I encourage all of you who watch this looking for a push to just get up and go. Go to the gym. Go study. Study hard. Eat right. Prepare whatcha gotta prepare and just GET THINGS DONE. You got this.
I love that this doesn't have the classic background music for motivational videos
Yup that shit drives me crazy
Right, get that corny ass Hollywood shit out of here. Really ruins the moment.
People: What to do on days when you’re not feeling it?
Jocko: Yes
Good.
One of my favourites
Evening.
I was always taught you finish what you start, and you don't get to stop until you die. It's what motivates me and I refuse to be deadweight.
I have adopted this doctrine for workouts. I feel better than ever and I can't even think of skipping a day.
I intend to adopt this doctrine in other areas as well (academics, work, etc)
This guy is a savage love the motivation
Esse cara é um selvagem ama a motivação
JOCKO , YOU HAVE GOTTEN ME BACK ON TRACK. I THOUGHT I HAD LOST MY MOTIVATION BUT REALLY I HAD LOST MY DISCIPLINE AND WILL POWER. I AM BACK TRAINING EVERY DAY AT GYM AND MARTIAL ARTS AND BACK GRINDING HARD WITH MY BUILDING COMPANY. THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN. MUCH LOVE . JOSH

For ultra solid life principle motivation talk that can really improve your mindset, jocko podcast is the very best. The messages I've heard in the podcast resonate in such a true way that other podcasts don't really capture, it makes sense that the podcast is surrounding books because the right books have the most power possible because they are someone's mind focused on the best way possible to say a message , then edit it down to the essence etc. Jocko is the kind of guy that you would be lucky to be near or with if some disaster situation went down, he's way more likely to survive than most people. Even if he was captured, he would be good. learning about people who went through hardcore war and hearing jocko talk about it like his own battles aren't anything close in comparison is a humbling insight, it helps to complain less about stupidly small problems when you hear these kind of discussions, thanks for making the podcast, it has definitely helped me improve my mindset.
Need this kind of mentoring in my life.
Jocko sure is intense
He's hardcore. When in SF/SO youre hardcore and it becomes a lifestyle.
I played this because my husband and I were laying there and at 1:40 when we heard him say GET. OUT. OF. BED. We both got up immediately 🤣
Don't procrastinate on what you have to get done. Procrastinate on the procrastinating. Procrastinate on resting. Procrastinate on chilling. Procrastinate on relaxing. Don't procrastinate on conquering the day and getting shit done. Beautifully said.
Don't feel like doing it. Do it harder - Jocko Willink
Love the message. Love the delivery. ✊🏻
This guy should meet David Goggins and do podcast together. Maybe on Joe Rogan's podcast.
I like this advice. Doing the exercise NOW and reflecting whether you really want to rest Tomorrow is great. It makes sure that the feeling of you wanting to take a rest is authentic and not due to laziness
I’ve watched many videos like this and the basic conclusion that I get from every video related this topic is that you have to master your own mind. It’s the hardest thing to do which is why very few ppl are at the top, those living a good life have mastered their own mind. I will try to do the same. Even tho I’ve tried so many times and failed. I’m 19 goin on 20. Glad I figured this out young. Mastering your own mind is literally the key to success. Good karma plays a part too, IN MY OPINION.
This is the right mentality, but not a lot of people are willing to talk about the elephant in the room. Burn out is a clinical condition and it can be a serious problem, you have to bite the bullet and make time for yourself in order to stay healthy, motivated, and productive. Don't be afraid to take a day off when you need to, but account for it and build it into your plan. Make sure that the time you set aside for yourself is completely devoid of all work, in other words make it count. Love y'all, keep moving forward!
Exactly right. Jocko Knows what he's talking about. Nothing but love for his advice, but I do feel that he missed an opportunity to talk about how after you put off that rest and push through this hard day, you should pay particular attention to your diet and sleep that night to make sure you're better tomorrow.
Then again, this is an excerpt. He may have covered it.
@@nemofilipovic1695 he does have nuances its just this specific clip is about just that feeling you get when you don't want to do the work (assuming you ate enough and had enough rest and sleep).
that's a good attitude to have sometimes; don't take today off, take tomorrow off
The right attitude for the situation at hand, which is a lack of motivation - not burn out. Burning out is when you don't program rest and recovery into your life and break under the pressure of unaddressed fatigue. You program rest and recovery into your life just like everything else. You don't just decide not to do something else in the program - that's called laziness. By programming rest days, you retain command. Fatigue didn't overwhelm you and prevent you from doing something, you controlled your fatigue. You decide when to sleep, not your fatigue. You decide when to eat, not your hunger. By maintaining that mentality of having command over yourself, staying motivated becomes much easier.
GEEE, HAD 2 MONTHS STRAIGHT OF THIS! IT CAN BE DONE!
Echo, you gotta get some pop filters for those condenser mics brah
eunuchcommunity At this point the mics popping is part of the signature ambiance of the show
Yeah yeah brah
We know we need to get things done, that wasn't the question. The question was how to find the motivation to do what needs done.
ok i can get with this! dont give in wait till tomorrow and if you feel that way tomorrow take the break. simple self talk. to waiting and seeing if its weakness or actual need for rest. thank you
Man I feel like I could crush rocks and chew on glass after listening to Jocko!!!! Anyone else?? Lol
TONGAN WARRIOR No because thats just plain stupid😂
LOL! you're on your own on that one buddy
I listen to this at work where I literally crush rocks all day so yeah!
Jocko makes you realize that you can do much more work throughout the day and always be better.
There was a phrase that one of my instructors told us when I was in the army while we were struggling at PT. "Dont think anymore, just do"
Quem veio pelo Icaro mas não sabe inglês?
vamos traduzindo as frases que a galera colocou aqui 😊
Vamos traduzir?
Basicamente ele aconselhou que mesmo que você não esteja com vontade de fazer algo, faça mesmo assim. Não procure as satisfações imediatas, vá lá e faça o que tem que ser feito. A única coisa que você deve procrastinar é a vondade de descansar e não fazer nada, isso você pode deixar para amanhã.
@@luan931 Que massa, mano!! Valeu por compartilhar com a gente 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👊
Homeschool mom- needed this❤️
Sir. I just want to say i always wanted ro be in the army, like my dad. He was in rhe military for 25years. But what i want to say. Is I respect you a lot. And you changed my life sir. Thank you and God bless.
especially because rent is due and success doesn't come from the lazy
Imagine if Jocko is your dad and you tell him NO.....
facts, i stopped going to the gym but i ain't stop working out. Gotta get it even if its in your own comfort, just get it in. No complaining no excuses, if you want it you'll go get it.
It's not motivation that keeps you going. It's discipline.
What he's talking about is the difference between serving your impulses and making them serve you. Impulses are like advisors...they're going to give a lot of information. Some will be good and some will not. A leader analyzes them and chooses which ones to listen to, and when. You have to lead yourself before you can achieve your potential.
This podcast helps me stay focused when life throws a lot at me. Thanks Jocko
Sounds like my boss paid this dude to say all he said .. In case i searched for this kind of video.
Damn it, Tim
I was hoping he would say "I chill and smoke reefer on those days"
My wheels popped and I almost died…took my only one week vacations to fix my car and check up on my legs because it got destroyed. I am at the hospitals waiting room rn and watching this. I feel like I want to eat somebody the minute they say hi but hold my anger back and say I’m my mind “they don’t have anything to do with this” and say hi back and bring create a smile on my face to show them I’m doing alright and I’m strong. I was humbled last week with a dude who worked all his life at this pizza place and he was the only worker there. He was lifting heavy boxes of bottles and ingredients. He always joked around and smiled at people. So one day I was shitty on that particular day and said “you are so stupid for being happy with your life” and he looked at me with a different face that I never saw from him and he said “men aren’t supposed to be happy to live, I work to feed my children and to put clothes on their backs and make sure they don’t look at other people and say why them and not us”
A real man does what has to be done and not being happy sometimes is the norm. When you have children you don’t do anything for yourself truly but you do it for them. That dude works every day of the year from dusk till late night to provide for his kids. And I’m here with no kids and small problems compared to him and feel like I’m the most important person in the world…man we should do more
Jocko needs to make his own motivation app, I go back to this video every morning so I will get up and keep pushing today’s a new day the past is in the past do your best for today.
I need to listen to this everyday because I’ve been puttin shit off lately, gotta get back on my grind
Your THE VOICE OF GOD FOR ME RIGHT NOW your voice helped me get up today!
I've suffered so many horrible hardships during the last thirty years? I know that it's a miracle of God that I still even have a ounce of optimism in my soul, I thank God for blessing me to hear your voice so that I could push past the pain points that I always stop at!
Thank God for men like Jocko Willink, Jordan Peterson and David Goggins.
Thanks Jocko, work’s got me drained man and I’ve skipped the gym a few days.. Changing that TODAY thanks to this video 💪🏼
That microphone is being abused, he places his nose on it then kissing it all over...that is not nice.
Nah, that mic is so motivated that tomorrow it will have a +10db gain.

"Hey Jocko, I have a terminal illness."
"When I want to not have a terminal illness? I stop having that illness"
".....OK thanks Jocko!"
Jocko loved answering that question. It's everything he is about.
I think the moral from this which I take to heart personally is that we will have enough time to rest when we are in a casket so give your all now.
LMAO it only thing he puts off till tomorrow is rest
Just go ahead and eat the mic already Jock.
388 people get it. ZERO PEOPLE ARE TUNING IN THAT DONT GET AFTER IT.
Greatest 3 minutes of wisdom you’ll ever hear… beautiful - God bless America
Being able to vocalize your wisdom so fluently is helping a lot of people right now, especially right now. Came from joe Rogan, and probably wont be going back due to a wider more hardass approach you have. Fucking brilliant podcast, and a fucking brilliant couple of dudes
I listen to this before I call out. Works 9/10 times
Don't let the tail wag the dog! Don't wait for feelings. Do the action and the feeling will come.
I think a lot of people got this kind of backwards here, so I will try to put my personal perspective on what he said.
This is not advice on how to start doing things per se, he is talking about that urge to give in, that weakness that constantly whispers in your ear before trying to do something hard. He isn't saying that "the way to do x is to just do x", but rather he shows that he feels that same drag as he keeps up with his routines, and outlines how temporary that temptation really is, something people tend to forget. He says to persevere and always do all you can, even if you don't feel like it rather than creating complex lies and excuses of being tired. Maybe you are, if that's the case, then rest, but otherwise, push forward. That horrible feeling goes away and suddenly you are back in the proper headspace.
The path of least resistance makes perfect sense cause its simply easier in that moment. Truth is we will have these moments all the fucking time in our life. Keep grinding no one else will for you!!
