![]() “If the stress is something you can’t control: Embrace it. ![]() But equally as important: Learn from their faults.” Of course: Learn from their strengths and mimic and copy them in what they do well. They are going to be lazy, entitled, shortsighted. People, even those people you have put up on a pedestal, are going to be faulted, weak, egomaniacal, condescending. Sure there are things we can learn from people-but people aren’t going to be what you think they are-what they should be. It isn’t going to make you stronger, faster, healthier, smarter, or better. Same with the chocolate chip cookies, the double Dutch chocolate cake, the can of soda, the bag of potato chips, and the pretzel-wrapped hot dogs. And then-and only then-will I rest and say: No more.” And through strength- and through will- and through unwavering discipline- I will become what I want to be. Let us remember-but let us not dwell … Instead: Let us laugh and love and let us embrace and venerate everything that life is and every opportunity it gives us.

Stress is generally caused by what you can’t control.” Whatever problems or stress you are experiencing, detach from them. And to do that you must do something critical in many situations: Detach. So that is your first step: Gain perspective. “Humans can withstand almost inconceivable stress-and you can too. You have to HOLD THE LINE on the seemingly insignificant little things- things that shouldn’t matter-but that do.” When it just doesn’t make any logical sense to go on, that’s when you use your emotion, your anger, your frustration, your fear, to push further, to push you to say one thing: I don’t stop.” And when one fails, you need to rely on the other. “Because emotion and logic will both reach their limitations. And on those points there will be No Compromise. ![]() I am going to maintain my self-discipline. I’m not going to give up, or give out, or give in. I am going to own my mistakes and confront them. There are areas within myself where I CANNOT compromise. ∼Jocko Willink, Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual “Stop researching every aspect of it and reading all about it and debating the pros and cons of it … Start doing it.” No more bowing down to whatever unhealthy or unproductive thoughts float through my mind.” No more: “I’ll start tomorrow.” No more: “Just this once.” No more accepting the shortfalls of my own will. ∼ Jocko Willink, Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual “Don’t expect to be motivated every day to get out there and make things happen. “Discipline Equals Freedom” ∼ Jocko Willink Motivational Discipline Equals Freedom Quotes Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual.Inspirational Jocko Willink Quotes on Life.Motivational Discipline Equals Freedom Quotes.Now, with brand new sections like DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, SUGAR COATED LIES and DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH WEAKNESS, readers will discover new ways to become stronger, smarter and healthier.
