I love when Theo goes on JRE, because he asks Joe questions in ways most of his other guests don't. It seems that he genuinely values Joe's opinion and life advice, and I appreciate it a lot.

So many of the entertainment guests are just there kiss Joe's ass and get their faces in the camera. Theo's just there to chill, have fun and talk about crazy shit.

I’ve found, When I just can’t get past a failure, when I get stuck in that loop, I’m taking myself too seriously. At the bottom, It’s an ego block. Humbling myself and remembering that I’m here to learn and grow, then getting back to work, is the remedy

[@parker3946]

The reason Joe is popular is not only because he’s funny, and smart and charismatic - it’s also because he’s humble and honest which is invaluable in today’s society.

[@hook8535]

Yeah you know what it’s describing here. It’s lifes stream and navigating down it. Joe seems to navigate through it so easily.. while others.. there hitting the sides of the stream, falling out the boat etc. Joe just makes life so easy, and it truly can be but for some reason a lot of us just can’t seem to find that easy stream.

[@Zeustra]

@@hook8535 I mean he doesn’t have to confront mistakes or hardships ever which is probably why it’s so easy. He’s at the point where he doesn’t have to do anything he doesn’t want to, and no matter what he says or does there isn’t really a downside because he will still get the fan support from some people. He really can’t lose no matter what he does because some group of people will always validate him and therefore he can’t messup.

[@hook8535]

Brah, been watching joe rogan since he was a nobody. When I say what I say I mean it when he was a nothing. Already had the mentality and breakdown of what was what on point. It’s the come up and the beginning is the only important parts to learn from joe. Not what he is and what he gets away with now.

How fitting is this. I've been feeling down because of regret and thought of searching "joe rogan talks about regret". And then the first clip that pops up was this uploaded just 10 minutes ago.

Same brother. Not lately but definitely a lot in the not so distant past. You beat yourself up, put yourself down, talk to yourself in your head and tell yourself what a POS you are. No. We're all human. We all make mistakes. That's life. You can't learn and improve if you haven't experienced the lesson. We can't live in the past thinking about our mistakes which we we can't change, we have to focus on the future which we can change and make better choices for a better tomorrow. Just remember, nothing stays the same. Things won't always be this way. You got this man! Have a blessed day!

[@georgev5766]

This is very true. 100% agree with Joe. Here is a tip: when you start thinking about these “failures” and start feeling down just remember that you’re probably the only person thinking about that failure over and over. The other parties involved have probably moved on.

[@thewaterreviewer4130]

this is the mindset I am stuck in. I can't get over my past mistakes and the ways in which I've wronged people. and this little clip alone is a nice boost to my confidence. doesn't help in all ways, but it does give me the drive to forgive myself.

If you have wronged people, maybe try apologizing to them sincerely. Doesn’t matter if they forgive or not, but you can move on.

[@bigbadwolf4075]

@@NASkeywest I just wronged someone recently and I am hoping she forgives me after my many apologies, but I think the best thing for me now is to stop replaying that particular scene over and over again, accept the situation, learn from it and move on.

I wish you the best. May we all strive to be the best version of ourselves always

[@Brian-os9qj]

There’s always a redemptive moment available to us all. Own your mistakes and come correct on them. Accountability and responsibility

[@bojackkatarn]

Always? I think people get too wrapped up in the notion that their life is a novel or something, with a three-act structure and redemptive arcs, etc. The fact is, life is very very random because the universe is that way. It's easy for successful people, especially people like Joe Rogan, who could've easily led a very mediocre life (wasn't academically inclined, went into a field like comedy where 0.1% or less succeed, etc.), to attribute their success to some method(s). What happens in their lives are very very small sample sizes in the realm of what is possible in life.

[@Brian-os9qj]

@@bojackkatarn -random yes, personal responsibility still applicable in the randomness. $$$ and society perceived notion of success, are but a small portion of real personal success. We all have the decision to be personally effective and positive people. We all have that ability in us. That is the relevance in this entropy we experience. We have effect brought by our efforts. Accepting being just a victim of chance denigrates us all.

[@shanbanan7414]

My 16 year old asked me the other day who was my biggest regret in dating? I stopped to think & said "I don't regret dating anyone. Because they all taught me something that was important to get me here to this very moment. So I wouldn't take any of them back"

[@technonautgames4342]

It's hard to get over certain mistakes with people when you know you'll never have an opportunity like the one you had and messed it up for a silly reason, while you may learn a lesson you can't get that moment back..still makes me sick to my stomach sometimes to think about

[@harrytowers1076]

Yeah idk how to get over some things people say you learn from your mistakes but I never seem to learn and improve. Looking back there’s too many moments you would change until you just start wishing for a completely different life or no life at all

[@pauloconnor6349]

I feel your pain brother my girlfriend broke up with me recently, we were both deep in love and stuff but after I got blackout drunk at her brothers wedding I did some unforgivable things , some many things I wish I could change but I feel joe hits the nail on the head here with his advice

[@badrobot114]

​@@harrytowers1076A lot of times there's not much to learn. A lot of times you just don't learn and get stuck in a downward spiral and it can last years. A lot of times even if you learn the trauma you carry on will never let you be the same. A lot of times you just become a total trainwreck and at a younger age than you might think. Consider yourself lucky if you get your silver lining.

[@biglou7473]

Omg 💀

[@Will_022]

Lol what’s funny is he’s actually gotten so much better at standup

[@davewatson3398]

Man, looking back with regret is a path to nowhere and self-deprecation. Mistakes made and how we react to them, maybe more than successes had, define who are. The culmination of our past experiences- good and bad, brings us to where we are today and what we do today is the only f@chin’ thing that matters to anyone. ✌️

[@chelledegrasse2787]

Joe. You're such a good mentor. Theo needs to hear this kind of stuff. He's such a super guy. He needs to learn how to accept himself.

[@phillipedwardness9591]

Sometimes you just have to accept that you failed or you made a mistake you can’t fix. Sadly, sometimes your life would have been better if you did something differently but it’s done. You can’t go back. You’ll hurt yourself if you dwell on it.

That support system is a big thing. It helps you handle your failures much better than if you don't have one. It really can harm your self esteem & confidence

[@MonaMarMag]

The most important in life is to learn from mistakes once made and to move forward .

[@thecommonsensecapricorn]

i have a feeling, theo, that you don’t trust yourself enough. i feel like when you get around people like Joe & Jocko who appear so macho and together that you pick their mind on these things because you think they have it more figured out than you. But you probably already know what he’s saying - with any negative emotion all you can do is accept it and move forward. You don’t ignore it or dismiss it, you feel it, you accept that it’s occurring for you, but then you let it go. I understand regret. For a while I grappled with regret over leaving my ex boyfriend, but in truth i know our relationship wasn’t right & im just feeling regret because i’m lonely (4 years later). I regretted certain ways I acted around people when I had lower self esteem, how i wish they could see me now. But with regret, all you can do is choose to be present. We can never go back. Don’t have a scarcity mindset that convinces you you’ve had all the great moments - that’s what causes regret. The greatest of the great is yet to come..

[@kelpyg162]

[@justinwest5166]

that’s funny bc I’ve been doing the same thing I broke with my gf and have been regretting it and I tried to apologize and make things right but I don’t know if it’s gonna work out and I’m stuck on whether I try to fix it or move on and find other ppl and other things. I hope I don’t hold onto this for four years bc it’s honestly a lot and idk kinda just in limbo wondering what to do. Hoping for something that prolly won’t happen if I’m being entirely honest with myself.

I’m 27 and a severe alcoholic. I’ve lost jobs, cars, friends, girlfriends all due to alcoholism. It’s sad living with that regret because I’ve done so much unforgivable things to people I love while under the influence. But I know if I was sober, I would’ve never hurt them so much. Still madly in love with my girlfriend but she’s been gone for months and isn’t coming back. Heard she’s talking to someone else. Life is hard man, but this go around I really hope I can turn my life to a positive direction because all I want to do is be happy man. And stop hating myself.

[@jaz9189]

exactly man. im 16 and made many mistakes that hurt my girlfriend and she decided to leave me a month ago. i was changing honestly but she was tired, together for over a year and now shes talking to someone she met barely before she dumped me. sucks because she gave me false hope and lied, found out for myself and i saw them holding hands in person. i feel so much guilt because i know we cant get back together. i believe that we can both be better people and change for ourselves but to also attract better opportunities. its hell right now, but feeling guilt and regret shows that we are human. all we can both do now is learn and move on, itll take a while but should be worth it

[@adriangarza7584]

I was on the same boat brother I was cheated on when I was 23 and for 3 years I was binge drinking everyday until I was broke and had to wait for next paycheck. During all that I hurt my parents and my brother with all the stuff I was doing while being hella drunk. And to top it off I just got a DUI about 9 months ago. And every time I would hurt them with my actions or even verbally I would go home hurting to drink more and forget about what I’ve done to them. Been sober ever since the DUI and my relationship is better with my family. I’m not going to apologize to them what I am going to do is be a better son and brother through action. Action speak louder than words

You can't change the past but you can replace it with the future.

I’m dealing with this. I have a lot of regret over mistakes I’ve made and things I’ve done wrong. Times I’ve let people down. I feel reborn after having a child and just recently getting married.
