Script:
There are no shortcuts.
There are no hacks.
If you want to take the easy road, I promise you: it’s longer and more painful than the hard road.
I know. I’ve lived it. I’ve ventured down the easy road at times in my life and it never led to anywhere good. The positive things in my life always came when I faced the biggest challenges.
I joined the Navy. I took the hard road in the Navy and made it into the SEAL Teams. There, I had the honor of leading men in combat. I learned some lessons along the way, lessons that have been tested on the battlefield and, when implemented, lead to success in any arena.
One of the best things I’ve learned is that anyone has what it takes to travel the hard road-to walk The Path that leads to success. That includes you. It won’t be easy. It will demand everything you’ve got to give. But you can do it, and I want to give you three key principles I’ve learned that will help you to get it done.
Principle number one: Discipline. Equals. Freedom.
That’s not a contradiction-it’s an equation. Discipline might appear to be the opposite of freedom. But, in fact, discipline is the path to freedom.
Discipline is the driver of daily execution. Discipline defeats the infinite excuses that hold you back.
Some people think motivation is what will compel them to get things done. But motivation is just an emotion-a feeling, and like all feelings, it’s fickle: it comes and goes. You can’t count on motivation to be there when you need to get through truly challenging times.
But you can count on discipline. Discipline is something you dictate.
Motivation won’t make you exercise every day; discipline will. Motivation won’t stay up late and finish a project for you; discipline will. Motivation isn’t going to get you out of bed in the morning; discipline will. Make discipline part of your daily life and your daily life will get better.
Principle Number Two: Stay. Humble.
In life, you are going to have to do things that you don’t want to do. Maybe things that you don’t think you should have to do-things that offend your precious ego.
When I got done with Basic SEAL Training and reported on board SEAL Team One,
you know what I was assigned to do? I was assigned to clean toilets. That’s right-despite having just graduated some of the most difficult military training in the world, despite being assigned to an “elite” commando unit-my first mission at the actual SEAL Team was to clean toilets. Not exactly a glorious job.
But you know what? I did it. I did it to the best of my ability and took pride in doing it well. And that attitude got noticed: if I cared that much about how clean the toilets were, people knew I would do a good job with even more important assignments. After a short period of time, I got those more important assignments. But it was humility that opened the door for me.
Now, being humble does not mean that you shouldn’t be confident. You certainly have to believe that you are a capable person. But don’t let confidence turn into arrogance. So keep your ego in check and stay humble.

Don't get motivated by this!
Get disciplined.
Wow that just hit me. I was feeling motivated by the video 😂
thats what he talks about if you get motivated by this video and not to be disciplined. this video is useless then you must be disciplined by the PRINCIPLES! and this video got worth
Discipline does what motivation doesn't.
I genuinely don't think he knows what motivation means, because discipline is not the opposite of motivation, they aren't even mutually exclusive. And it's actively counterproductive to tell anyone to not get motivated because that's they same as telling them "don't want to do this, but do it anyway".

1. Be disciplined.
2. Stay Humble.
3. Be Responsible. (Take extreme ownership to whatever happens to you.)
Dirty Words in America these days. Someone would call him a fascist for attacking "muhfreedumb"
The 3 points are the totally opposite of how typical CEOs behave.
@@TempleofBrendaSong The difference between fascism and extreme ownership is you can choose to forego the sage wisdom, and your peril will be your own doing rather than fascist dictators creating your undoing involuntarily. In neither case is humility or responsibility involved, at best basic level discipline.

"Freedom without Discipline is called Anarchy. Discipline without Freedom is Dictatorship."
@Selim Sultan Akbar It ain't a fantasy, all it takes is discipline of an individual in himself, abiding by the rules and laws given by the state, yes we are human beings that commits mistakes and bad choices, and there are no perfect government as it is made of people that is not perfect. But being responsible to your words, actions, and choices is what makes it work, on what it makes bearable and trusting, having great will to do what is right for oneself and for others. Discipline cannot be always observed, no matter how uptight the person is, but doing his best to abide is what makes freedom in order and in peace.
@@LA.20 well said

@@jacobmiller3933 Looks like someone didn't understand the video
They're here. Just ignore them. This video is good advice, and not just republicans know how to live the right life. Everyone's back and forth fighting, forgetting that we are all of the same country. Brothers and sisters. We're being brainwashed to hate each other. When in reality, no one is on different teams. These "teams" are just made up words.
I love Jocko and I am left wing.

I got a good laugh out of that. Thanks
😂 I thought it was the other way around. Broke down some of those straight back right wingers
As someone you'd probably call a snowflake, I'd say this is one of the least offensive Prager videos I've seen, without the usual horribly flawed idiotic one sided arguments , even if it does just sound like an advert for a self help book.
Which would you say is the hard path to the Presidency, working hard in different political offices to get a good reputation, or being a reality tv star with a memorable catchphrase?
@@mankytoes You missed the point.
"And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." Luke 9:23
"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:31-32
In other words, Discipline = Freedom. I had forgotten this through my many years of meandering aimlessly and fruitlessly through college and had to be re-taught this back in Basic Military Training, but it's what got me through that grueling trial and it's what reforged me into the man I am today.

@@supersmart671 With all due respect, you appear to be missing a key point. This isn't about truth, lies or fairness, it's about how complaining is a waste of energy and gets you absolutely nowhere. Watch again, and focus on the concept of extreme ownership. If you don't understand this concept, none of this will make sense to you. Good luck.

"You can’t count on motivation but on discipline..." this reminds me of the "Don’t follow your passion" video by Mike Rowe.
Both are "dirty" but profound truth.
Or Goggins...
YES!!
I know people that count on motivation to get them to the gym. They show up for a week and then you never see them again three to four months later, extremely out of shape. I have made my trips to the gym a routine by applying discipline. I discipline myself to the gym. Trying to stay motivated to go to the gym is futile. It works for a few days and then, lack of motivation disrupts the cycle.
@@barchetta575m Same here brother. Had a bad week having not gone more than once just this week and its shameful. Jocko's speech made me remember most of the time I got things done was when it was based on discipline. Not motivation. And that's changing now for the gym.
Thanks for your words.
... And always answer every question with..YES, Drill Sargent!!
Since I saw this video I've lost 12kg and I do now +20 work hours monthly ( now I'm doing 220h of work ) I'm not kidding. I consider myself a humble person, I have confidence but had very poor discipline. I went to the army for 10 years. I had IMPOSED discipline. And I was awarded multiple times for my work there. Now without a leader and with no imposed discipline, I got my life off the rails. Now with self discipline in a matter of 2-3 months I got results. And people around seems to be more friendly. This video became my motto. My bible. Thanks
How much time did it take you to develop discipline?
@@khyati7733 it took a couple of months. The first thing is to recognize that something is wrong and prepare for the change. It doesn't happen instantaneously. And it's a daily struggle. It's very easy to lose control of it. I don't live in "army style" discipline but I've definitely quit procrastinating.
Keep the focus. You're the "captain" of your ship, of your life
I love Jocko and I wish everyone could hear what he has to say, I fought in the battle of Ramadi although I wasn`t a leader then, I was 19.
Wow, I really needed this, I have fought through really serious medical conditions, and 5 careers. This last accident put me flat on my back in bed due to a doctor's mistake on oxygen for 2 years, the world went by, family members died, and I couldn't go anywhere. At my doctors, the consensus was, this was my life, they had killed my lungs and also caused brain damage. I need a ventilator at night. My brain no longer breathes for me automatically.
That was the final straw that they waited so long to tell me what was wrong, there wouldn't be any change, no cure this was my future. I decided I was going to make it into something more than just laying in this bed, sucking on an oxygen hose and watching TH-cam.
Working hard I finally rehabilitated myself up out of that bed. It took 8 months and went back to doing what I needed to do. I lasted about 6 months. Then I was overwhelmed by financial & personal events, my car quit, had to start taking the bus, my home became a storage unit because of the deaths of members in the family, all of the things that were left behind ended up being stored in my home. That didn't help me because I'm ill, I can't move them, I thought in my mind. I'm on a medication that has made me gain 60lbs! I worked very hard to get back my health from the previous accident. Getting control I lose the weight I had gained almost 260lbs. I got it all off without the ability to exercise or any suregery, it was willpower & eating for ones genetics.
Being extremely disabled, everyday I fight to stay out of a wheelchair & off a walker, I've been prescribed them, I have been trained to use them, but I know that once I give up, I will not be getting up.
At Christmas this year, I just got tired, I was supposed to be finishing some projects at the house. I am now in my 5th month of trying to finish something that could have been done in 2 months, my motivation is gone, and I can't seem to find the discipline anymore,
Boy, really needed this, I needed to remind myself of who I was, who I've been and what I've been able to do. I can still do it just because I have a hose attached to my nose, doesn't mean that I can't just means I'll do it a bit differently. Maybe I'll be a little bit kinder and gentler to myself on the way.
Thank you, Prager U, I really enjoy your videos, thank you for being honest and educating someone who basically has been educated probably well, beyond any reasonable need. Never did finish college, kept going, there was so much to learn and enjoy. Have the equivalent of 4 BA's in totally seperate disciplines, do have one AA got the paper! Keep working to open the minds of tomorrow, you won't know till the truth is used what a great job you've done.
You can do anything you put your mind to. Always believe and yourself! Good luck and the best of all for you! ❤️
Well done, friend!
That last part is very important. Be kinder to yourself and learn to manage your body's limitations, so that it in turn can still allow you to do the things you set your mind to. Stay strong, friend.

@@flemishtemplar3766 which begs the question: Was it a moral cause? (BTW that's a cool looking icon)
@@bmoraga01 Thank you. Normally, i would consider a moral cause when you fight to safe your people from danger and fight to keep the weak who can't defend themself safe. That's textbook moral cause right? But we all know if we look deeper into the facts behind WW2 and the role that propaganda from all sides played in this, wasn't the real reason why the US was pulled into this. I understand why they chose to fight Japan tho (that's a different case).
I do give them credit tho for holding back communism from countries like that of mine which i am thankfull for. But like i said, the real reasons were kept away from Americans because otherwise they probably weren't so motivated to fight in Europe. And don't get me wrong; i don't want to insult or degrade the american soldier for his sacrifice by stating all of this, i'm just pointing at the goverments in charge at that time.

It's a little disturbing that there haven't been any comments in years. This short video has helped me actually *get things done* more than any of the countless hours I spent reading self-help books. Whoever you are, *you need to watch this.*
I think TH-cam can read minds now. I was thinking about why I had no motivation for college, and no interest in my classes, and the fact I really just didn't care...all the while feeling bad about what my parents sacrificed and the opportunities that were given to me. While waiting for my motivation to come back, I realized that discipline was what would get the job done. Then this video appeared on TH-cam.

@@chopperv1313 Of course i'm joking dude. Dennis Prager once said that it is almost impossible to mock the left today because they are so crazy you can't tell the parody from the real deal.
@Itamar Greenberg Politics in the USA are pointless, both sides want to be right and use dishonest arguments.
Mean too..very Mean.
Put this guy in the same room as a bunch of SJWs and have a good time laughing at the shock and anger SJWs bellow out!
More like the SJWs would instantly transform into Chads
I don't think he'd tolerate that shit for more than a few seconds
Lol what would the SJWs even say to him?
I plan to watch this video every time I plan to give up, or feel weak this year. This year is my year to kick some ass, become a better person, meet my goals and become free of my mental constraints.
To all of you beautiful people: Have a Happy New Year! Make come goals, execute, and kick some ass! Much love to you all!
We all need a dude like this in our lives ^^
hermanessences You, hermanessences, are the dude.
@@usn83001 a very cute dude!!!
The DUDE, what a classic, I bought my husband the SWEATER.
I bet he will beat his son for watching peppa pig😅
or in the white house
Comfort is tyranny
Freedom is sovereignty and that comes with responsibility.
Comfort is for pussies
That's a key thing liberals and a good chunk of libertarians don't seem to understand. Freedom comes with responsibility and it's not just freedom to do whatever you want.
@@Billy_Mandalay Yes, Sir! I am telling that to myself every night when I go to sleep on my nail bed.
The most common addiction in the world is the draw of comfort. It wrecks dreams and breaks people.
@@bladeswelove so true, I am certainly guilty. In America, we have the option to be comfortable, which is great, but it leads to laziness and lack of purpose if you don't have self-control
That speech need to played every day in every school
Not a single word is easy, every single word I needed to hear.
I started doing pushups as soon as he started talking.
I showed this to my brick house, now it’s a marble domicile.
I showed this to my biggest bank account and I expect the balance will at least double by tomorrow! Yeahhhh!!
So basically:
10% luck
20% skill
15% concentrated power of will
5% pleasure
50% pain
and 100% reason to remember the name
Jocko cleans up pretty well. I think that is the first time I've seen him in a suit.
Anyone who watched Admiral McRaven's "make your bed" speech and found motivation in it (or developed the discipline to make their beds from it as Jocko might put it), should definitely have a listen to a few of Jocko's podcasts.
That was very profound and well put together.
Have heard this (paraphrased) Japanese saying:
Discipline, sooner or later, will overcome the intelligence.
Or , life will teach you what you didn't hear your master say !
Chris F and Japan is successful thanks to America showing them capitalism
@@manoftruth0935 They were already powerful when they modernized. US style capitalism sure helped japan and germany after ww2. But these 2 were already powerful enough before that to be dangerous enemies.
I'm not sure where you heard that, but that doesn't sound like words of wisdom. You can overcome stupidity by using your intelligence. I'm not sure what "overcome the intelligence" mean.
@@tyronekim3506 I think he means a less intelligent person can overcome a more intelligent but less disciplined one. Work ethic and discipline are what eastern asians emphasize because they believe it trumps individual creativity which can be sometimes at odds with these 2 above.
I live by 2 & 3 already. Working on #1. I never thought of discipline and motivation as two separate things. Thank you for sharing!
I'm in the same boat, Jennifer! Good luck and work hard on your discipline! I will do the same.
Same. Very helpful.
I learnt something new I didn't know motivation was just an emotion .I read that most people when the hit the 40ish stage of life stop learning because they feel they have learnt enough lessons to navigate life successfully
Motivation requires "persistent effort", that's in the definition. (Motivation - persistent effort to a goal). So that's where discipline comes in. 😁
haha saying that you are humble. very humble of you
I love that he says "be WILLING to do what needs to be done"! TY, sir!
Before watching this: "What should I pick up from Whole Foods today?"
After watching this:
Punched a deer in the heart.
I HOPE U..ATE IT.. AND MADE CLOTHING AND TOOLS!!!...
What should i buy from whole foods today? buys the store
Lollllllllllll
I showed this to a Communist, now they're a Capitalist.
joelwinters100 definitely successful transformation
@@franzsigel7166 I showed this to Taiwan, they're still democratic.(Love your book btw, haha)
@JCSU but what if i show this to a national bolshevist? will he transform into a national capitalist?
@JCSU but which country implements capitalism the best?
@@franzsigel7166 i dont think you understand the logic behind the comment, bud
I can see the testosterone coming through the pixels on my computer
that is funny
The visual type eh?
I can feel his energy through the screen
Excellent principals. These things are eternal and never change with fashions of the day. Thank you for the bare-stripped truth.
Fully agree.
It’s for videos like this that I subscribed to PragerU
These ones are great, unlike the ones about israel
Ash Geo ain't that the truth :)
@@katla3393 why?
I second that
Discipline = Victory.
Freedom = Independance.
I AM THE OWNER OF MY LIFE, NOW MAKE ME POPCORN!!! XD
1) discipline, 2) humility and 3) take ownership... I was taking notes.
@Daniel Paul maybe emperialism?
Damn, that's disciplined.
Sounds like Marxism
@Daniel Paul emperialists are not humble...; nor the socialists
@@serhiisietrin9314 Actually, it's imperialism.
I got a deeper voice after I had listened to this.
Thanks for such obvious corporate propaganda. As a wage slave I am really humbled
or maybe be disciplined enough to learn new things and change jobs?
Jocko is currently hunting down All of The People who gave this video a thumbs down. Discipline.
Why would he do that. They don't need to be hunted. Life will hunt them
I felt like this dude was about to grab me through the screen and tell me to study
@Tucson Jim 1- Who told you that killing people is a honor? It is only necessary in cases like the war.
2- it doesn't matter if it is "easy"(high probability) to die in the war. It is important that some men put their life on the line to protect others. Otherwise, we would be afraid to be invaded every minute.
3- A man risks his life for other people and you call him "useless moron"? Don't you have any gratefulness or sense of decency? He made himself admirable, and you made yourself the opposite.
@Tucson Jim damn dude, get a life. You're angrily commenting on an educational video. You ask other for the academic achievements but say "Loser you has zero respect for truth". Show me statistics that most soldiers die from suicide. It's tragic that many think that's the only option, but that's why we need to fund psychiatric help for vets.
@Tucson Jim "the same guy who said that being a failure at school was a honor" who the hell said that? Even if this fact you brought REALLY is a thing doesn't make it right to disrespect the guy's history AND people here, so you're still talking nonsense. Now you have to get some things clear:
1- How am I a loser?
2- How I have no respect for the truth and the "American" values(freedom of speech)?
3- How did I spit on the American Constitution?
"I felt like this dude was about to grab me through the screen and tell me to study"
So, what your saying is, he was telling you to, "DO IT!!!"
@Tucson Jim *sees lots of statistical superstitions taken seriously like a case of cognitive dissonance*
ah, ok. Now I understand. You're not just a random pseudointellectual troll.
You're one of those weirdos. Half crazy, half delusional. Okay, boyo. Playtime's over. I ain't listening no more. You need help, not debates.
Practice integrity and honesty. Perception not deception. Serve others and not being served. Dont let anyone including yourself drag yourself down. Implementation not dreaming. Dont be afraid of failing. Be afraid of never doing.
To be honest, motivation is what gets me to the gym. I don't need discipline in this particular area, because I love being at the gym, and because it's a big part of my life. I love the results I get from it, and the process.
My own experience is that when faced with a dilemma the right thing to do was always the thing I wan't least to do.
Take a shower?? and wallow in your own filth ? lol.. i tend to do that lo
Couldn’t agree more! The wrong choice is always the easy choice. The right choice is the one thing in the world that you would never want to do. But it always seems to turn out great!
Same here!
@Tucson Jim Perhaps the best determinant of the usefulness of the opinions in the video is to note how well, or how poorly, they have served the author.
YUUP
Ppl like him should be speaking at college and high school graduations
@Daniel Paul If you are disciplined, you can use capitalism to your advantage.
I just watched this with my cats, now I'm the Tiger King.
“Self-discipline is the ability to not want to do it but still do it.”
I watched this video again in my car. Now my car has over 500 BHP.
num2son I really wish I was 17 I want a Evo IV
Oh ya my chihuahua was with me while I watched now it's a pitbull
Wow - almost made me jump to my feet and holler 'Sir, yes sir!'
...at least you're a chick. Most of these girls are guys.
@@tylerdurden4392 I'm more of a rooster than a chick...FYI Kim is a male name from Gaelic meaning king or Chieftain.
ok bootlicker
I showed this to my sister, now I have a brother.
Jocko doesn't have testosterone in his blood system, he has blood in his testosterone system.
