Why do I listen to Jocko regularly? I asked myself this question this morning and initially thought that it was because Jacko refocuses what I do onto the most important things in life, and I can see the results. There are lots of people who do that - so why is it, that Jacko makes a difference? Today I came to the conclusion that Jacko is soooo good at articulating ideas - in such a simple way that resonates easily, is easy to remember and easy to do...... one step at a time.

My past is full of successes, failures, interesting life experiences and things I could spend time lamenting but I choose to look for the lesson and leave it the past. I focus on today...but...what I do today, each day, to work towards a bigger goal in the future. I do not get anxiety about the future because I know the work I'm putting in daily are going to get me where I desire to be. Jocko keeps me focused on what must be done.

I've been struggling with not drinking on Saturdays. I've made it a habit to get wasted on Saturdays while watching fights with my homie. Today will be my 3rd week sober. Not a drop of alcohol. Lost about 10 lbs in the meantime. It sucks having to stay at home on a Saturday while everyone else is out doing stuff. I know it's for the best. I will find a book to read.

[@jenniferdana5665]

I can totally relate to that last part. I was just naturally predisposed to be stronger, taller, and smarter than everyone I went to school with. But there came a point around 8th grade when my natural “gifts” wouldn’t cut it any more, and soon everyone was past me because I didn’t know how to work hard. I’m still working on it today, but I know I’ll catch up and pass them just as soon as they passed me, only this time I’ll stay. Thank you Jocko and Echo!

[@Adam-qs5ir]

100% I was extremely talented in music when I was young. It got me in to college, because my grades really didn't do it. The problem though was I didn't really work hard enough for what I had. It was just 'easy'. Once I hit the real world it started falling apart. If I could go back to my young self and tell me that the talent was a gift but it was only going to get me so far if I didn't challenge myself more I would be in a different place. That's the past though. I recognize it and apply that mentality to what I do now.

[@Stew_Pid]

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

Great work, guys! Really like the mention of how we (humans) understand things in the scale of our own experiences. Maybe you didn't say it in just so many terms and syllables, but that's how human psychology really works. You can't fathom something beyond the scope of your experience... SO telling a kid about the adult scale of "the long game" for instance, is impossible. The kid can only conceive of a decade after they've measurably experienced it... AND that's only ten years. Teens can "get" a decade. To someone much younger, it's as useful a smiley face in crayon. SO no, those weren't exactly mistakes, in early years. They're a form of growing experiences to understand what you're playing at... short game versus long. Until you're starting to expand the mind's capacity to conceive of decades, and then a better chunk of a century (Like "Jeez, I'm really gonna live THAT long?!") you're stuck in the concept of the short game... AND Jocko's idea of shorter term goals that are tangible and rewards to go with those goals is fantastic. If someone had tried that concept with me, I'd likely have been a better student (I wasn't terrible)... and a more competitively motivated artist today... just by rote. I got a swat to the side of my head as I picked up and showed off my diploma, and my dad said, "Well, damn, son! It's about time you stopped wasting my money." Good times. ;o)

[@Burtannia]

One of the reasons the future seems so distant to young people is due to the length of time between now and a given future event when compared to the time the person has been alive. 5 Years to a 50 year old is only a tenth of their life whereas to a 10 year old it's half their life!
