Jocko Podcast 370: THE GAME Is Going On All Around You.

[@breatheandfocus6567]

These last couple of podcasts have been SO good.

[@AbirTarafdar]

I so agree. Phenomenal. Real teachings, delivered with power! How lucky are we?

[@KingWillMusic]

Started my day working out listening to the first one. Now ending my day laying down listening to this one. Love Jockos Podcast. What a great voice of wisdom for this generation

[@anirudhupadhyay695]

Amazing that I am alive to be able to listen and make sense of these gems.

[@aaronkalender8389]

[@balham456]

Jocko’s monologues are the slam poetry of the 2020s.

Jocko I love you! Take ownership and let echo talk more.

Xavier University had this speech at the commencement for our graduation and it truly changed the way I live. It was like everything I had learned from the ethics and philosophy classes and the books I had read all clicked at once and this speech revealed the hidden truth to life. I know he said that it’s not a moral imperative to think the way he was about those situations, but I disagree, that became the moral foundation of my entire life. It completely solidified the point of all the moral lessons I had learned and it was as if the underlying truth was there in my mind being exercised daily, but had yet to be pulled forward into consciousness and that speech did it for me. I can still remember laying awake just going over it in my head that night and this episode just took me right back to the day of graduation.

[@aryyahuwilliams]

369 was my favorite Jocko podcast episode.

[@whitenight369]

Nice.

[@jashroy]

Same here. I need to make some changes in my life.

[@Screeeeeeee]

these 2 really spoke to something I have been weighing in my mind in the background lately. I am 23 and getting my master’s. Hard to decide what I actually want for myself

Jocko, how about some Falklands war veteran stories? A war 8000 miles from home, logistically challenging, numerically superior enemy, inhospitable climate where Royal Marines and British army troops had to yomp across the islands to fight the Argentinians in darkness and without NVGs

[@jonkheerofnac]

I think he covered that in one of the early Podcasts. I could be wrong.

It has been going on all around me since my marriage blew up. It's trafficking, which has numerous illegal components. These things are criminal and should be penalized: slander/smear, stalking, spying, doxing, surveilling, running interference, withholding information that could set others free. When CRIME is being rewarded with money, the perpetrators deserve jail. Flying monkeys also commit crimes against the target for perks or pay. If this can happen to me, it can happen to Jocko. I was also in the public eye (MEGA-ministry), am also educated (M.Ed.), a published author, former public speaker, former worship leader, an athlete (7 marathons, including Boston, competed in the 1500 in collegiate track meets as an unattached runner at age 37-no joke!, against NCAA competitors including Rice University, Texas A&M-brutal!), former adjunct professor for Rice University (once considered the Harvard of the South), and I'm a mother, daughter, friend, employee, manager,...etc. This fight has never been about me. It's about God's righteous ways, and it's about those of us who don't play criminal games, but need protection from them.

[@dertythegrower]

Cheers. Thanks, Jocko.

[@shrekscousin1389]

Be aware, and show acknowledgement no matter what, regardless of the situation.

You have no idea how much I needed this today, Sir. Past two days have been real "test days" and I've been walking around ready to explode. As you were reading the excerpt early in the video, I could see myself in that scenario and was actively getting more upset as you read. Then the punchline hit, and you instantly deflated my hot air balloon...

[@kylekoppie5932]

felt very similar to this, it might be us in the way and not others sometimes

[@academicmailbox7798]

A famous professional angler named Hank Parker talked about retiring from the sport. It was a Wired2Fish episode, in which Hank said it took him five years, to begin to enjoy going fishing for it's own sake. As opposed to going fishing in order to try to win a championship (Hank explained it wasn't until he started to fish with non-professional anglers, that he understood that professionals were so unusual in how they approached the sport). That competitive motivation just never switched off inside them, long enough to figure out, how to just go fishing. And not turn it into a game, which they had to be the winner of.

[@academicmailbox7798]

And that reminded me too, about the way George Best a professional soccer player once explained it. George was forced out of his sport for multiple reasons. He said that he had enjoyed life in the fast lane. And after he departed from professional sport, he learned how to enjoy life in the bus lane.

[@academicmailbox7798]

There were many things that Hank Parker explained that resonates with Jocko's description of a heavy weight, mixed martial artist (being the one guy in that sport who was able to put all the ingredients together). That is how Hank described his own success as a professional angler. There was another side to it as well. Hank said that many of the anglers over analyzed results where he did not achieve their targets (Hank said it was when he learned how to be satisfied, he had done everything he could have done in a day's competition fishing, he became a better competitor). And that also related to Jocko's argument about knowing one's strengths or weaknesses. Hank said this about fishing too, that the competitive angler should understand their strengths, and their weaknesses. To learn how to tailor their fishing strategy around 'a best fit', based on such an understanding of one's own capabilities.

[@RileyPatterson-bf8ge]

My old njrotc instructor used to say something like you won't ever be rewarded for potential, for what you say you could do if you tried, you'll only be rewarded for your successful efforts.

[@cdrtej]

This one like the old q&a bjj banter podcasts

[@ollicron7397]

I think with that case at 46:14 it's more that they lied to themselves about wanting to be a SEAL. If they really wanted it they would give it their all, and when the motivation runs out discipline is what takes over because you'll use it to do things you don't want to do in order to achieve said goal. I used to be one of those people, I lied to myself about wanting to be a 75th ranger, I didn't actually want it, and when I realized this (albeit mostly at a late point at the later part of being 27 I'm now 29 years old), it allowed me to pivot my focus into what I actually wanted which was to be a gamedev, rich, and a set of other goals.

[@businessman6104]

I think where a lot of people make mistakes is that they say want something but they don't realize the sacrifice it takes to get that. For example, a lot of people say they want say The Rock's body. But do they want to go to the gym as often and for as long as he does? Is that even possible with their jobs, family, etc? Do they want to eat his boring diet? Some people want to start a company get rich. Do you really want to work 15-hours day? I could on. So the message I got from this podcast make sure when you say you want something you are prepared for the sacrifices you have to make. Also, know your personal strengths and weaknesses to know if it is a realistic goal.

[@jeremybruce9368]

For the next podcast, I would love to see how you take apart a game, and form strategies to win that game. I think there could be some value there, getting into that level of analysis and nitty-gritty.

Jocko is a master warrior human soul

[@moonie_Lifts]

Needed this one. Great episode

[@petrairene]

Wow. Came here for the Bud Anderson WW2 and Topgun flying stories, but then we get war veterans discussing deep universal spiritual matters that are something I also very much struggle with, the disgust about what people are doing on this planet vs deliberately choosing an empathic, compassionate outlook on people and what they do despite what's going on on this world.

[@Dondlo46]

29:06 lmao I was literally playing chess when Jocko was talking about it, this is the second time he got me

[@breatheandfocus6567]

I'd love to hear more about how one goes about figuring out which paths are best for them (e.g. knowing if you're 5'3", so that you don't choose to compete in the NBA).

[@wimchase2258]

“What game are you in”Great question and the podcasts were excellent. Maybe a way to build on this is to look at a related question, , “what STORY am I telling myself? “ and a subset of that , ‘what character(s) am I playing - hero, villain, victim

Self actualisation is really high level state of ultimate balance of all essential components of being a human within the framework of society and it's highly individual like fingerprints or DNA. No two people can self actualise in the same way. It's the most personal experience of life.

When my usual practice of avoidance fails causing me to dwell in the pitfalls of predictably scheduled Human Hell, I have two goals: Firstly, make the cashier laugh aloud, or at least crack a smile. Secondly, force back my natural impatience, and become THE most courteous driver I can possibly be. My success rate is directly proportionate to how many songs either by Led Zeppelin, Elvis, or by The Doors I listen to prior to engagement.

🤣 I walk away, I get off their carousel, not wasting my time, knowing this person hurts people, and I'm next. Wise words from Jocko and several others on this theme...Jocko: "Don't be a jerk about it." The loss in the long run is hers. Be glad you found out who she really was, and not the person you thought she was. These people often self-destruct, i.e., reap what they sow. With experience, you recognize it is a game sooner. I cut out. 👋 ...Vengeance can make you look just as bad as she is. Don't fall for it. 😉

So very good question for the games we are playing, say you have a really good buddy and then later down the road you find out he doesn’t want you to win because you’re doing better or what he thinks he should do. How do you play the game to where you still remain friends but besides detach and distance how can that correctly be handle? Thanks

He’s not your friend.

[@DHG-01]

The "Esteem" tier of the hierarchy is way more subtle than wanting a big reward or promotion. It can be as simple as not being completely invisible at a new job. Soldiers, for example, have to wear the same uniform, have to have similar haircuts, get issued identical gear. They belong as a soldier, belonging tier accomplished. The next tier is how to stand out as a unique individual within this group. It doesn't have to be rank, it can be as simple as earning a nickname, or a reputation of some sort, maybe a specialized skill or position.

Awesome "pep talk". I always enjoy the media you put out, even though I don't always agree with all of your views/opinions (and how friggin' boring would that be if we all agreed on everything anyhow, eh? Probably lead to a pretty stagnant society too). I do think that in regards to unreached potential, it's not always that you have wasted your time or your life. Sometimes not reaching your potential is massively influenced by a combination of doing the best you can in the circumstances you have been in/are in and the way you were raised/the people and environment you were/are surrounded by. If you don't have good supports, in the way of basic necessities, family/friends, or opportunities, then it can be difficult to "fully" reach/realize your "potential". Maybe you have a genius level IQ and you are born into the lowest caste in India. Maybe you are a creative genius who is born into squalor and poverty and you don't even have access to the internet or basic necessities. No one is likely to ever notice that you even exist. There's 8 billion of us, so sometimes, you just have to do the best you can in your small little corner of the world. In regards to lying to yourself... reminds me of a song. The lyrics feel very familiar to me, lol! I'm sure I'm not the only one.🤘 🎵🎵I gotta tell myself / another lie / 'cause that's what helps / to get me by / 'cause I'm in hell / this is my / goodbye farewell.🎶🎶 kzbin.info/www/bejne/foSkdXltZddgl5o
