Just finished a 10 mile run again after my night shift. Driving home now at 1am listening to a new Jocko video. Discipline equals freedom.

“Never let your ego get so close to your position, so that when your position goes, your ego goes with it” Colin Powell.

You are not you’re thoughts that’s very important to me when I’m struggling. And I try to not judge my feelings, just observe them. So that’s very helpful for me.

Solid advice on not confusing thoughts with feelings, that's a solid key for decision-making

Good stuff. It's also worth pointing out that it can be difficult to explain things to someone who doesn't have the same values and morals. In such situations, that other person can gaslight via blaming our "emotions" on the confusion rather than simply saying, "I don't have those same values and morals."

Look it isn't our emotions - it's how we deal with our emotions. Jesus Himself said Ephesians 4:6 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath... feel that anger but sin not. Look at your anger and look at it with Him. So notice your feelings - feel all your emotions.... God made you with all these emotions so through them you are drawn to Him. And with Him He can guide you through the fire. We are made in His image - emotions connect us to Him. And He loves you so I encourage you to take a moment and bring it to Him - all the notes journals - bring it all to Him and listen for that small still voice of His - grace and strength and wisdom ❤ and for sure get good godly authentic people in your fellowship

Words are just words until you put them into action

Jocko always spitting the 🔥

Echo goes deep on this one too, not just Jocko. Newfound respect for the perspective of Echo.

This is just amazing thank you for doing what you are doing. STAY DISCIPLINED

You have to feel out every situation using as much logic as you can bring. Comes with experience. Like the classes where you train the officers not to be so triggered. Takes wisdom and experience to train that kind of logic beyond feeling. Thank you for the work you do, Jaco ✌️🤟🖖

Proper for me Sir. Thank you teacher.

Thank you for this sir.

Imo, the feeling guides our thoughts and actions. People like to feel like they are in control. And their "thoughts" help justify how they feel. This leads to an assumption that a thought or principle can be a truth or north star that can always guide ourselves and others in our lives. But, maybe, the thoughts are just tools. And we should be aware of how our subconscious is pushing and pulling our thoughts. How many veterans commit suicide because they can't deal with their feelings? We all know the reasoning. But, for some reason, we can't just accept it like a robot. Love for your family. Duty to your country. Pride in your values. Honor, compassion, and, even, wisdom... Are things... We can accept and implement because we know it feels right. What is confusion? Is it really that we don't know what to THINK? Or we don't know what to FEEL? A thought experiment to chew on. Sometimes, we have to override our feelings to take actions or make plans. We go into a combat situation even though we are afraid. Or, maybe, to not jump to conclusions of a partner cheating. And, even if the partner is cheating, we can choose to ignore some feelings to try to get to a better resolution. How many listeners feel loyalty, inspiration, and a sense of communal belonging? And doesn't that help them, ultimately, go on to think? We... Are animals. Blessed with consciousness and cognition. But... I think we make the assumption that we are in control more than we are. And... It doesn't help that we can try to present truths of our own incomplete thoughts. Because we want to feel right. To feel secure. It's a tricky game. I apologize for the rant. I always like to think of this as the lying game. Because we are all lying to ourselves. It's a tricky game. What is truth when it could cost us power? What are thoughts when, usually, it will be more for convenience? Sorry for the rant. I don't think that I did well.

Thank you for the information and the thoughts 🙏 put into this!

Feelings are subjective. Logical thoughts are a solid foundation seeing the world for what it is

I love it! This is something i have observed in my personal life, makes me want to read Thomas S. Great job in putting this together

Loved the arrow to Greg 😂 And this video! Subscribed for your tips but I was checking your older videos and I loved this one so much, it helps a lot

Don't fall be the overly stoic person that 'Feelings' are bad.. feelings are attached to intuition.. but that's very different from feelings based on unfounded, undealt with, issues. But, as alluded to here, people are led by their feelings (and thus opinions) conflating then with facts. Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹 😊

Exactly. "Stay away from politics and any form of media. They don't care about the lives they destroy. Its just about money".

Great information. Will apply immediately.

Thanks Jocko and Echo. I have found myself trying to rationalize my feelings as an attempt to get a grip on why I am the way I am and do what I do. I beleive the answer is just start doing what you know is right for yourself. We are the sum of all parts

Steering yourself through life using "thinking" sets you on a path where you can take responsibility for your actions and learn from them, positive or negative. Steering yourself though life using "feelings" leaves you reliant and at the mercy of the actions of others, and you don't learn to take responsibility for yourself. One makes you a burden on others. One does not.

Jocko, I've been trying to have and explain objective conversations about feelings and the difference between Reacting because of them and stepping back from them to Respond by Choice logically Rather than almost instinctually! All it's ever gotten me was attitudes and arguments in return! I'd Love to have an actual in depth discussion with just about anyone that grasps this concept fairly well!

You won’t always like the truth. Doesn’t mean you can’t still accept it

Amazing thank you

Feelings create thoughts. Thoughts drive behavior. Behavior creates circumstance. Understanding the underlying feelings beneath the thoughts equals control over one’s circumstances

Well, a feeling is a thought (that you believe to be true). The only difference between a "thought" and a "feeling", is the believing part. Actually feelings are very logic. You first logically understand what it means, and only then you can have the emotional response.

A society too heavily reliant on feelings. Happy to be a logical party. Doesn't mean I don't have feelings, I just don't let them govern the ship.

“Two different tide charts” nough said ✨

Good one brother

Logic is a result of disciplined feelings really. Sometimes the logical thing isn’t the right thing and it’s import to be able to decipher the difference. Logic is derived from human emotional interaction essentially. Balance is power 👍

Jocko & Echo

Jocko has that red green and black Marathon Terminal art for his intro and outro.

Jacko this beef we have had has gone on long enough. I'm waiting patiently for the mature and honest man you portray yourself as to contact me and squash this beef. Wether you do or don't is irrelevant to the big picture as far as I'm concerned however I have made valid attempt so I have no problem holding my head high regardless of what happens! Shalom!

Feelings occur IN THE BODY; thoughts occur IN THE HEAD. The fact that this is confusing, even here, is illustrative of many of our cultural problems.

I wish you guys would have touched on how feelings are appropriate for some situations. Yes, it’s great to discern when they are appropriate and when they are in control of you. Feelings are powerful and they can lead to powerful action, they can also lead to stupidity. The point I’m trying to make is that it’s more important to know those feelings are there and to channel them into exactly where they are meant to go. If you are disappointed in your team or an individual, yes, separate those feelings and give yourself clarity by channeling it elsewhere. Then you can explain the issue and the solution with clarity. Feelings can be used for your own self development and it’s good for the long run.

Emotional intelligence is key

Although Jocko neglects to mention intuition.. which could be tied to the same side as emotion and yet knows more than you... If one path feels wrong... Yet you can't place it you just have a feeling...you shouldn't ignore it the person is a sound rational person.. the immaterium is more real than the real world... I've seen it you have to combine control . Of emotion.. with cunning of logical yet not so disconnected that you can't tap into the messages that are true yet unexplainable... Imagine a emotionally intelligent... At will psychopathic psychic lol all three exist... To different degrees

Sir Jocko, if you see this I have a question. If the U.S. asked for you to go on a life threatening mission with a Seal team now or in the future, would you go?

I always feel my feelings. Usually anger. I realize it. And find the logic. Every day. Calmly say what needs to be done or changed or decided. I get it. Anyone can talk to me. And trust my decisions. I control my emotions. Always right so far

Spot on ! It is so frustrating when my husband responds to me with....I don't think about things like that. When answering about things that pertain to things that effect one of us or our life ! It is frightening how little thinking he and many other people actually think about today! 🤔

the rules of feelings, or emo - perspective 1. they tend to come, or go, or be as useful a a beer gone soft, however they're not consistent, or what appeals to men 2. they're usually relative, or not the law, truth, or prayer 3. perhaps for therapy, works of culture, or art they're useful, or could serve the nation, and they also have their place, it's just that it tends to be counter productive, or less for therapy, or crying circles, perhaps for making art emotions are iffy, or also to learn from, think perhaps for therapy, art, or PTSD it's important to know emotions, or where one could take of uses 4. that people are more than their emotions, or it's important to train the body, mind, service, or also freedom, truth, or wisdom has almost nothing to do with feelings, or when one practices all those things one realizes the importance, or ' relative ' value of emotions, or the inner world of chaos, wants, pettiness, or occasionally to suicide, or what the ' feeling ' stuff wants, or usually devolves, or cares to

Warrior philosopher. Dig it. Thanks for the soulful content.

Echo out there eating "Salty Cake" 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Let's go way back and borrow some philosophy from Aristotle. The Greek philosopher, who made significant contributions to many areas of human knowledge, laid out four levels of happiness: Laetus, felix, beatitudo and sublime beatitudo. Rational activity conducted in accordance with virtue. Examinations of conscience, trying to root out our faults, focus goals toward virtue. This will be the closest to "happiness" without Faith, Hope and Agape Love in the spiritual life where the essence is sacrificing your will to God's will in every aspect of your life. Ordinary day to day done with His extraordinary love where True Joy is lived.

Good. Feeling Logical. Data = Facts? Facts = Logical? Complexity loses logic and emotions emerge feeling ego. Feelings = Personal Attached Thoughts = impersonal Detached Echo that? Thoughts + Feeling together is more powerful overall but mediating between the two is the disciplined artistry of humans being

We need to get Jocko casted as an Astartes in the upcoming 40K show, he is the personification of an Astartes.

Always a good listen. Thoughts and emotions are great servants, but bad masters. Both have their purposes and whatnot. However too much, or too little of either will truly change your journey. All this overuse of either is a claring symptom of something However. Oh well....

Yes they do I started a journey into the mind which led to the spiritual.. an I've found an easy method.. adopt a Machiavellian mindset... Don't go into the Mephistophelian it's too destructive just as good at removing fear and external control.. but Machiavelli works best... If the other person is not willing die over a sandwich.. an you become the being that decides you don't care about the sandwich you want his soul.. his still beating heart regardless of the outcome few people can stand a commitment that is beyond the material. Tyson did the shift from machi to mephisto an it caused him trouble but you did not see fear or pleading or weakness at any point.. if your opponent enters the ring for a belt.. think that's fine..that's sprinkles and I don't have a sweet tooth... I came here to see the life leaves your eyes.. I'll send the belt to your widow as a token of your sacrifice to the blood god. I've used since I was a homeless child.. even grown men rarely prefer to die over nothing against an opponent they could over power.. but may lose and eye.. an if they failed.. id cut their face off while they were still alive and show them how I could wear it better.. fear is an illusion and if the man your facing has a weakness anything in this world he cares for more than a singular goal you can destroy him break him beyond repair.. money.. family... Reputation.. all of it is a weakness to exploit. Adopt that mindset an it's hard to be beaten and if you do lose then applaud them for a game well played. If you have to ability to stop feeling.. it's a powerful strength if uses with cunning

Explain the layers in Echo's shirt.

Logic seems cold , void of feelings, which is human, such as anger, sadness, sympathy, happiness, accomplishment, so many other emotions (feelings), where logic is calculated . Be safe. New to your podcast, enjoy listening.

Any response to the anti hero podcast? They did a video on operation red wings and brought up you and chris kyle.

my feelings govern how i act all the time because my values are crossed i feel or not met or visa versa . makes me feel a certain way . no thinking involved . my values are my values the thinking part comes next . i dont doubt my feelings cause thats my values . but i’ll definitely think and strategise my way around my emotions so my values are upheld so i feel good again . my values come 1st usually then the tribe unless its not important or trivial then ill go along with the tribe . and i feel good doing that . i do actually value making others feel comfortable so im not a selfish person . i just know what i want , like and dislike . And it might not be logical . but what artist is logical all the time

"Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions." - Elizabeth Gilbert -

Getting into the realm of the jedi now. "Your feelings betray you....."

Check out Iain Mcghillcrest work on brain hemispherical differentiation. He describes how feelings affect the left brain vs the right brain and how the left brain tries to take control of your logic

People make mistakes in trusting three thoughts, feelings and imagination. Discern through the virtues there's about 64 virtues stemming from the 4 cardinal virtues.

Most people go on their gut and our gut is usually wrong.

I made a mistake not raising and perhaps not treating and listening to a key employee to my business. Now she was pouched by another company. My initial reaction was as disdain for that employee. Now I’m thinking it’s always my fault. Since I’m the boss. Even when it’s not. Not the employees. It’s a hard pill to swallow. Relationships with a woman. Same thing.

Thomas Sowell is a National Treasure. It’s unfortunate he doesn’t have more exposure.

Weird how I can make an instant correct action without thought , but given two minutes/months/years , I can screw everything up with the thinking.

I think this is a good topic t to discuss with Jordan Peterson

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I dont understand... you can feel before you think? is this why im a bit neurotic, distant and have trouble connecting with people unless they are on the same mental frequency as me?

Keep in mind that your thoughts are not always your own. Thoughts can be inserted in many ways

😍 Lol, it is the foods you eat too.. sushi, herbs..and then its gone and yes although its break up as he is turned on and then turned off.. yup. Then wake up..then not enough wake up, and hes still detoxing everything too. 💎 I still think It's not as bad erectile dysfunction, and bipolar.

FEELINGS AREN'T FACTS...They are emotional thought...

Title Purpose: Scope: Criteria: Body: Conclusion: Appendix The test was in fact to - pass through entity yup - Dad did that - they use to train on debate. I got a line forming. You know I ♥you. I am so sorry if I offend Yes I do. It was fun for lots of reasons. Yes Stop Shhh I paws you. blah blah blah

Jocko put two tea bags in one cup

Hey Jocko EC A lot of people are confused. For some agencies that is the plan. Sorry if I confuse you. Welcome to my world. Prospecting is different than sorting. It looks good in the field but clean it up ... sfat If you got better "Take me out coach." You are welcome to stand here in the channel with me. I know my place - call it a promise. irony is not lost on me

Can’t convince them of it, tried and tried to tell them to challenge their thoughts and it always comes back to feelings instead of logic and reason, actions and consequences…….im just done talking at this point til someone really wants to know. The question is, is this thought helping me or hurting.

You're going to take the fight to them huh

I have a difficult time explaining my emotions to my wife. Maybe I don't want to talk about my emotions it's uncomfortable.

👍

Upload at 3.55 am 😂

Thanks scientists for letting us know the tides

Bro looks like Jack Krauser

There is that Pay attention. It may be purposeful. Trust your gut. Key scratch all the way down to the undercoat. That is what makes us people. I hear you. Things happen so other num nuts can pick it up. Yes tools. no shit yes and no Just trying get along. If you want smack down - good just ask. We sense that. That is good. whacky -- yup reaching It comes after the fact. It makes me feel like I am slow. save frequently save often.

The Marine Corps efficiently removed my feelings.....also I'm divorced 3x bc I am to... as they say. Detached 😂

"Tide Chart" - Americans are seeing the impact of leaders that constantly spew things that are just not Almanac worthy. Facts are given that are not close to the truth and we continue to lose half our country. Good topic on when you leader puts themselves above the one thing they are hired to protect. In this case - Democracy.

It’s called stinkin thinkin..

The Farmer's Almanac is still a thing.

Not feelings. It's my intuition

what you want to cultivate to be a better leader Mr. John is the ultimate perspective, or even what the saints could learn from, or the salvation of all souls, or all worlds, or all suffering -- there's an invisible order, or ' progress ' to everything, and even you don't decide that, or created the world -- no one is expendable, and not even one person could be replaced, there's no price on civilians, or workers, and everyone deserves a home, or roof -- life is petty, meaningless, or ends in the grave, or what could learn from that, or that not to take things too seriously, or even wars, or that all things must rest, or learn from the coffin -- what we do is important, however ultimately doesn't matter, or the regimes, or belief we fight for usually dies, or is gone the pages of history the lesson for all warriors, also their captains -- be free, tomorrow could be gone -- we're ultimately pawns, all of us, or to a grand scheme, or powers we can't see, or perhaps understand -- the real victory is to work for life, security, or the ' after ' a war, or what doesn't serve the coffins, or temporary glory of battle -- have a small place for yourself, or where you care, or what you're supposed to have, don't forget everything to rank, or service, or that if everyone else is important, so are you, however the question how much

Jocko thinks feelings if he needs to

What about when you feel your woman is not worthy of your attention, or perhaps cheating on you? Feelings are often a guide to what you should think about. Jocko is over simplifying the difference on this one.

Rationale...... Logic and reason..... We are biochemical electromagnetic entities with FEELINGS.

true we are products or our environment and our (how we grew) the twig is bent, so the tree grows. Earth to Spock. filter on the run I am not good at that it all goes dark sure bias the way it is organized pob - survey boundaries yes. yes I can lie I try very hard to be honest it is difficult. I can get into grace but it is near impossible to stay there. We live in the real world. There you go. There is something else going on.

Emotions lack logic. They’re feelings, not rational. They get in the way of clear decision making.

Different tide charts ... different media?

I asked a millennial if they knew what the farmers almanac was? They were like whats that an app......smh!....lol

Politics and religion are pure emotion fueled endeavors

Scribing - logging - there is more to it than that. Please continue with the tongue thrashing. I have heard leacture from some of the best does it sink in. We will see - not a problem if we are all on different frequency. The thing I got was pass through entity - something else about re-entry there are parallels. Yea, I got out of step at the parade. Shit happens. Rise - In my experience being "tapped" is just more work. Do the talky talk.

Trust the science really means trust the scientist, or worse, trust the persons interpretation of the scientists interpretation of the data.

Where's the fun in living like Spock from Star Trek?

There is a mistake in the name. Not CAN... ALWAYS betray.

i dont have feelings

Should do a bit on Gaza, Mr Jocko

Your thoughts can also betray your feelings
