Bravery isn’t about never being scared it’s about doing what you need to do even when you are scared.

[@mannyechaluce3814]

I'm scared of going to work everyday :D

[@joecardone4887]

@@mannyechaluce3814 But you still go? What an inspiration!

[@jukijunk]

​@@mannyechaluce3814 at least you get to go to work? Because if you don't have work that brings money in, your life would probably be worse without a job lol

[@waltherwagner9711]

100% Thats what I tell my little daughter all the time.

[@waltherwagner9711]

​@@mannyechaluce3814 I know that feeling. One of my first real jobs with 19 years has been in the prison system as corrections officer. At the beginning I have been scared to get inside those walls every day.

Salute to all, veterans/deceased/enlisted, for feeling fear, yet doing one's duty -- bravery expressed.

[@tjitjo]

Now they just need to free themselves from the industrial complexes and geopolitical plays of the elites. I salute every singular person regardless but if they did that, and applied their powers responsibly, then I would salute the WHOLE military!

[@jg8484]

I agree with this - what you do actually matters; the few moments of bravery I have had in life I was simultaneously overran with anxiety

[@chrisnorris1959]

Good stuff, thanks Jocko and EC Something I read somewhere: If you do something courageous while "pretending" to be courageous, you're not pretending. The tie into that is: "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be." Kurt Vonnegut. Finally: We aren't what we say, what we think, or what we feel. We are what we DO. Gordon Livingstone, I think.

[@s.sarvin2666]

Is this true. Since if a person is not currently courageous. Just by pretending will he actually progress to become courageous. This personally seems sorta like LOA. Your free to correct me I'm a young guy trying to become disciplined...

[@chrisnorris1959]

@@s.sarvin2666 I'm an old guy trying to be disciplined. :-) The battle begins anew every day, at least for me. Pretend means to "assume a role". If I assume the role of being courageous and perform a courageous act, I am indeed being courageous. If I assume the role of being a generous person and then perform acts of generosity, I'm being generous. Which got me thinking.... It's important that the "role being assumed" is done in sincerity. If I pretend to be generous and perform generous acts with the intention of using that generosity as means to manipulate someone in the future....I'm not assuming the role of a generous person. And I'm certainly not performing an act of generosity. I'm assuming the role of a conniving manipulator. I hope I'm making sense. Anyway, I wish you all the best in your endeavors. Take care.

[@s.sarvin2666]

@@chrisnorris1959 Thanks For Replying Lemme get this straight so if I assume the role of a disciplined person and perform certain acts that promotes discipline That makes me a disciplined person So I just have to prove it to myself. I guess.. Hope the both of us practice the art of temperance

[@China_Secret_Police]

Bravery isn't the absence of fear. It's the performance of duty.... despite of it.

[@amisfitpuivk]

And the more fear you feel, the braver you are. It's kind of the opposite of confidence. If you've done it 1000 times and are confident, there is no fear and you're not being brave. That's when we tend to get bored and find a fresh new scary thing to be brave at again

[@fictionalreality1010]

Pray to God you and I don't meet

[@danielmathews4926]

Jocko seem like a super genuine person! Awesome words of wisdom

[@digitt2]

Some people get angry when their vulnerability is exposed their weakness turns to shame to anger to rage than cruelty as they proceeded to fall apart and live as only the devil-may-care. You have a deathless soul and you have to take care of or you feel the the painful emotion of betrayal.

[@dwightdhansen]

You & me both. I train Issin-Ryu Karate. When I'm there I put every last bit of me into training. You wanna go hard? Lets go hard. I miss way more classes than I should. I prioritize things that shouldn't matter during that time over training. Those other things can be done later. Training is time dependent.

My grandfather was a member of Polish resistance between 1942-1945. Most of his time he was hiding in woods with not hotfood, during winter or rain with germans chasing them. My grandfather never complained about anything, or least I've never hesrd him doing so. Thougest men I ever knew and my personal hero.

[@travis3754]

Jocko listeners should go listen to that podcast with Sam. Amazing and honest discussion about human violence.

[@michaelpetrus19]

We always hear about the negative of those who react too quickly or without thinking. The man that ran into the street to get the man laying there just reacted without much thought and that is a positive especially for the guy that was laying there. Sometimes it good to just take action w/o much thought....................thanks

[@scottamaral5073]

It’s called grit, having heart!

[@Warriordan44]

God bless Jocko, was struggling between fear and action yesterday, kept going back to faith over fear an that the thoughts stopping me weren't to rational considering my agenda wasn't irrational..patiance came to mind and I was hurting kept going back and forth till i went..hope it was a good decision i dont see anything wrong with it..

[@teddyroosevelt512]

Being scared is natural. Bravery and cowardice are the reaction to fear

[@andrewconnor4429]

Ive been watching since the beginning and we are all getting smarter, and more consise, less words more meaning, pleasure growing older with you cats

[@1machoguerrereo508]

Roger that, sir, I appreciate how you said there were people who you hated in the teams, but they never knew it, because you were always respectful

[@BusasGaming]

Glad I listened. I was hungry and about to cut my workout 10 minutes short, but I finished it instead. Thanks for the pick me up. 👊

Never noticed Jocko timing himself on podcast before ... (check his watch)... Actions absolutely speak louder than words... THANKS TO ALL THE BRAVE IN ALL FORMS... 👍👊

[@WizardOfCheese]

never heard that quote but its a new favourite, thanks.

Actions prove who someone is. Words just prove who they pretend to be.

[@AaronGrimmett]

Bravery requires you to be scared and feel fear so you can overcome those feelings and still act even when most people could not.

Can a man still be brave if he’s afraid ? That’s the only time a man can be brave. - Ned Stark

[@ricardocosta565]

Even tough Jocko makes his own "quote" I think it really comes down to the original quote. When he says that he ignores his thoughts on not wanting to squat and does it anyway, he's really "watching his thoughts". BUT I get it, either "quote" is fine, as long as you do what you gotta do. GET AFTER IT

Brave is just a description from outside people. Its fight or flight. You either are going to run towards an incident or runaway. I run towards. Its how I've been trained. Am I Brave? Doesnt matter. I did what is right to stop a physical threat that might kill or maim another.

[@mikelonde9567]

Words are meaningless without action.

[@KingRyanoles]

I'm convinced much of human morality, social norms, and law is our attempt to force skin in the game, that is bearing the risk and cost of your actions. That is because high cost signals are very unlikely to be fake, like bravery under fire. While talk is cheap and therefore often fake. Pushing your risk and costs onto another is perhaps the essential quality of evil, while voluntary ownership of someone else's risk and cost is perhaps the essential quality of heroism.

Yes you can, just run towards like a fire or fight or something and then "fall down" and "hurt" your ankle or knee, and just go "ooh my knee!" then afterwards go "you know, I was right alongside you guys, until I fell down and hit that damn knee" - say it like Norm Macdonald

You could be brave or you could be someone who doesn't value their own worth, co dependent or mentally ill in some other way. Physical pain has never bothered me, psychological pain from someone I respect or care about is another issue.

But what if your mind is broken, can't just put on autopilot

[@chadwithautism]

There are a lot of people that tend to watch the thoughts, words and actions of others at the expense of watching their own. When I say their own, if they really feel like their own thoughts, words and actions are better than that of others, there is very little leeway other than to confront the actions of others, at the highest level I believe, with that of their own actions. Social media really precipitates this truth and a lot can succumb to manipulation, which is why I have my mobile number on my Instagram bio.

I actually disagree Do or Do not there is no try. Voluntary or involuntary action in the face of genuine danger that could harm you will always be classified as bravery. Irrespective of emotions through the process this is where it's tricky if a robot with no emotion, like a drone was in danger is that bravery No. You have to be scared for an individual to be brave., However a person who witnessed it that knows he would not if done that action can call it brave. A subtle difference on Sam's point but correct none the less.
