"If you're living the right life, you will be humbled by it." That's the key right there. When you aren't actually challenging yourself to get better, you're surrounded by ease, and you naturally decend into arrogance,
Just my 2 cents: if you want to learn real humility, do something hard and surround yourself with people who are way better at it than you. I used to act like I was the smartest person in the world; I was arrogant, condescending, and frankly just plain mean to people I judged to be less than me. That is until I studied physics. I learned otherwise real quick. I got my degree but I struggled for years and it really showed me just how complex nature is. It showed me how little I knew, and how ordinary and insignificant I actually am. I learned more than just physics, I learned my place in the world. The other thing that was humbling was being around people who were standouts in physics, who were just freakishly smart and talented. I had to learn how to rise to their level just so I could communicate with them and learn from them. Studying physics was a profoundly humbling experience because I had to work hard all the time to become good at it and I was constantly reminded that there were always people who were head and shoulders above me. Now that I know I’m not the smartest person ever, I treat people a lot differently these days, I act differently, and I have a lot more friends than I did before. That’s all I got, hope this helps someone.
Humility is a form of Grace. I know someone who is great at almost everything. If you tell him how great he is, he says, "I am just a regular guy" Clearly he is way more then just a regular guy, but he never judges himself against other people. He judges himself against himself. What are you working on? What can you improve? Plus people really respect humble people that are clearly exceptional. The truly exceptional people are always the most humble.
I love how you guys upload the main podcast and little short clips like this also. When I'm doing a longer task and want something playing in the background the actual podcast is great but these short ones can also be nice at times. Sometimes we are going through something in life and want specific clips of information so they are nice to be able to search.
“When we are humble and respectful, people enjoy being with us. They know that we will be kind and considerate and that we will not intentionally hurt their feelings. But if we view ourselves as superior to others or if we always insist on getting our way, we create strife and tension. People will avoid us, and we will have few friends, if any” Aw21#1
Im not humble at all i don’t believe in that..i get what hes saying though i agree 100%....but the way i look at things is ...Never look down on anybody and never look up to anybody just learn to look at life for what it is.
@@ditsokar4168 You are righ they are stronk and masqulin and fighty fighty and peng peng, and beer lots of beer and beard that is man very stronk manly man.
This has to be one of the most inspiring podcasts I’ve seen. “If you’re the master at one thing There will always be someone better than you at something else”. Think about that
If you have trouble being humble, I think that either you have very little people in your circle or you know so little that you don't have idea how much there is to know, the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Every person is the same as everybody everybody wakes up saying to go to bathroom the same they do a lot of things it's whatever your desire is in your heart that makes you great but you do have to dream find average the successful person opposed to that it's supposed an successful person is that that first person all the gay was 1% hotter so I believe that everybody is equal and it's all I desire and what we want to have I mean look at all these children who have disabilities and things like that and they just incredible
Sorry guys this phone so it isn't great I'm actually trying to just say my what I'm saying and of course the words didn't come out right so I look like a complete fool so I'll be back tomorrow thank you
I would love see Jocko Willink and David Goggins appear on a podcast together. I have seen the same suggestion made countless times on other TH-cam videos and generally it is motivated by people wanting to see two ‘badasses’ join forces and create epic content. I for one would like to see the two men amicably communicate their differences in objectives, perspectives and experiences. Seeing such opposing members of the SEAL fraternity engaged in such a dialogue would be incredibly insightful and provide many lessons for all interested. I have followed both individuals closely and it is clear that similarity is not what will bring them together, but, after a few years of listening to them engaged in comfortable conversation with individuals who are already inclined to agree with them (whether it be because they are in awe of their very presence and accomplishments or because they are old friends or members of the same circles and/or schools of thought) I feel it would refreshing to see them hold their own against another military man whom they do not see eye to eye with on things. The snippet of Jocko and Leif describing BUDs made it very apparent how far apart one side is from the other. Whilst I do not see it as thinly veiled shot at Goggins as some have interpreted it to be, it is still a telling example of the chasm in attitudes between the two parties. It would be interesting for them to hear them explain and compare their attitudes towards Hell Week, the SEAL teams, combat, leadership and life itself. m.th-cam.com/video/nTJe40lBex4/w-d-xo.html - Jocko and Leif on BUDs
I thought about these points you mentioned and my impression is that the gap is less about attitude and more about their defining life experiences. Goggins did not have much war experience due to his heart surgery and recovery. He spent much of his Navy service as a recruiter. He discusses some of it in his book. Jocko’s defining experiences were in the Iraq War, which made BUD/S easy in comparison. Goggins reflects in his book and on the JRE podcast about his personality not fitting very well in the SEAL team fraternity since he’s so introverted and was not interested in the social dynamics of the team relationship building. This probably hurt his acceptance by some other SEALs.
Your staying humble although you have accomplished things most men couldn't and wouldn't do,from one serviceman to another thank you for everything you've done,those long hard days that no one seen all that grueling training and those battles you faught there and within yourself paved the way for other men like me just like the men before you and I for one dont take that lightly thank you.
I am reading a book right now called mindset, and the way you just described competition and being measured is exactly what the author talks about. Very nice points, excellent book too if anyone is interested in understanding how they think. Carol Dweck (sp?) Wrote it.
“…when pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” Proverbs 11:2 I’ve been humbled before (pride)…and it was extremely humiliating. I couldn’t face anyone for a while and I wanted to hide, but I chose to face it. Eventually, I learned courage and to not think so highly of myself.
I had to come here and watch this video. I’m super skinny and not very strong. I started getting into working out and I’m also teaching myself computer programming. I realize I just started doing both of these things but I started to become narcissistic at what I could become and I was thinking to far in the future. Had to take a step back and remember where I am now not where I will be in 5 -10 years. I really hope I stay humble after I reach my goals
When you said you like to win (of course you do) but you don't get mad when you aren't the winner - that resonated with me. I've said to myself for years, "I don't have to win but I can't lose." And by that I mean by my very attempt to win (even if I lose) I still tried. I'm not mad the other person did better or "won" (good for them! Awesome!) - I made the attempt and I learned from the experience. That's what I mean when I say, "I can't lose." Thank you for the wisdom through your podcast. signed - US Submarine Veteran
Being humble is hard. My parents are rich. They raised and taught me to be self centered. They used to tell me to be self centered. Now I’m all screwed up.
I like where echo was going but I dont think jocko understood. Hes talking about the person who constantly needs to prove their self-worth. Not to a specific someone or through a specific victory but to and through life itself. A pathological need for conditional love through success.
I’m Catholic...theres this great saint in the Catholic Church called St. Francis De Sales. He would say that, as far as the spiritual life goes, he is always a novice in training and everyday he begins anew.
The only way to become and keep humble... I think is to honestly believe being humble is the best for a human being, and to honestly be sure you are not humble at all...because that is the only truth,and truth is a synonim of humble.
Man I was on the of the world and I got humbled MASSIVELY last night... I just feel like a dumb kid again (I'm 26 tho). It sucks but I know it's good for me to learn and use. It's made me realize I'm not doing enough. I've been doing really well lately in life, but im still not doing ENOUGH. I'm on the grind. I'm gonna push even harder now.
In the army infantry, there's a saying that goes, "be a silent professional." When you know your doing cool shit, you have to stay humble because if you dont, your just be looked at as a tool and someone whom puffs up their accomplishments, even though you very much may have succeeded in doing some cool guy shit.
It has something to do with your ego. The same reason you are chasing something in order to make you humble, is what is preventing you from being humble. We only know if we are good at something in comparison with someone. There has to be a reference in order to determine whether something is good or bad. And if you are comparing yourself with someone, that will prevent you from being humble. And the reason you want to be humble is to be better than someone. You would've being proud for being humble and that would send you to go around in a circle. It's not you who will determine whether you are humble or not. Because when you are humble, the "title" does not matter to you. Being humble is a consequence of having a "low ego". (If that makes sense)
If possible pls get goggins, Jordan Peterson and Jocko in a round table podcast. You guys are my daily inspiration and would love to see what thoughts will come out of such a discussion 🤩
Dont stick ur big head out in the hole cuz its always an easy target for the enemies..heard that from a vet..i think the idea is to keep ur head down and move..it takes a discipline and control to stay humble that makes it a mental toughness.its a strenght i think.
Jocko and friends can protect our community, while my friends and I can feed them. Some can cloth us, and some can shelter us. The list is long, and all is needed equally over the course of life.
There’s a whole section on this in the 48 laws of power; interesting book that’s relavent to a lot of the topics Jocko answers during these if anyone’s interested.
The people who are truly great at somthing come humble as they are aware the ceiling is infinite. The cocky arrogant types are good at somthing but not great bcos they'v never mingled far & wide enough. And the worst type are the novices, empty vessels who boast loud due to their ignorance & insecurities. Nvrtheless, there always be some exemptions.
Always stay humble. Be confident and express confidence but learn to appreciate life and to stay humble around the right people. Hard to master trait. Check out the MansClub everybody and join the movement friends! Greetings Marek
Sometimes being humble can be detrimental. In the workplace, bad workers can take advantage of a good worker’s humility. If a good worker does not acknowledge their own skill or achievements, bad worker’s will also act like it is non existent. Bad, fake people around you, find comfort in your humility.
Thank you for this podcast; The reality is that I am humble to the point of bordering on forfeiture just to give the competition the chance, idk. Future Seal in the making. . .Hopefully.

Yes the way you explained your real life situation gave me some good clarity . Thank you for taking the time to share

Stay humble by surrounding yourself with those better than you.
It will make you better through experiences. But finding new great people thats a but of a trick.
Humility is a form of Grace. I know someone who is great at almost everything. If you tell him how great he is, he says, "I am just a regular guy" Clearly he is way more then just a regular guy, but he never judges himself against other people. He judges himself against himself. What are you working on? What can you improve? Plus people really respect humble people that are clearly exceptional. The truly exceptional people are always the most humble.
There’s a thin line between confident and cocky.
Yup and I ride that line like a bear on a unicycle
Disagree. Confidence requires self-awareness. Cockiness requires none.
Being cocky is better than being confident if you can back it up.
Cockiness is bragging, Confidence is prompted honesty
Cocky is thinking you are better than others. Confidence is knowing that no one is better than you and you are not better than others.
Lord it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way
Lol
Can't wait to look in the mirror, I get better looking each day
No it not

Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Good incentive to stay humble 🤨

It has something to do with your ego. The same reason you are chasing something in order to make you humble, is what is preventing you from being humble.
We only know if we are good at something in comparison with someone. There has to be a reference in order to determine whether something is good or bad. And if you are comparing yourself with someone, that will prevent you from being humble. And the reason you want to be humble is to be better than someone. You would've being proud for being humble and that would send you to go around in a circle.
It's not you who will determine whether you are humble or not. Because when you are humble, the "title" does not matter to you.
Being humble is a consequence of having a "low ego". (If that makes sense)
