In my almost 45-years of life, I’ve found that CONSISTENT emotional self-control is one of the most difficult things to master.

Button your lip, hold your tongue. Better they think you're stupid then open your mouth and remove all doubt. Don't show your cards.
This is a great video for dealing with a narcissist. Watched it 4 times.

I’ve been learning about human emotions, human behavior, human psychology for almost three years. I’ve learned how important they are, and how they drive us, whether we realize it or not.
By no means am I a “manly man” or a muscular one at that. Yet, I actually AGREE with Jocko.
When it comes to the minor things, the 1’s and 2’s in life, if you’re constantly expressing your feelings about them, you’re basically admitting you can’t handle minor challenges in life. Being hungry is nothing. Having 20 emails to sort through is nothing. If you’re always venting, it shows he world you don’t know how to handle the stress and you don’t have the belief that you can resolve the issue.
Think about it- babies cry because they absolutely cannot help themselves. Little kids complain because they are typically powerless to change things, or they believe a broken cookie somehow ruins their day. These are minor things that an adult can instantly navigate...or at least, they should be able
And to be clear, Jocko clarifies himself- MAJOR challenges should be expressed freely. Divorce? Death? Addictions? You can’t stuff those down. Many veterans try to, and sadly we have so many of them committing suicide because they don’t allow themselves to grieve and process the trauma.

A calm mind is the most powerful tool you have against your challenges

The irony: an Iraqi guy: me watching an American man: him in a world where our nation's were at war this video brings us together - knowledge knows no race - God bless America - God bless Iraq - God bless the world - ooh raah

[Bonzer]

Don't let your emotions spill out on others, process them in a healthy way in your mind. Figure it out, pick it apart, beat it, move on...

[garrettkeefer]

I think I had a feeling once, that shit was weird.

[DJ-nomadlife]

Holy shit Jocko laughs he is human I knew it.

[Cryolyptic]

It's not about keeping your emotions in.

It's that there is a time and place for everything.
And that time isn't right now, and that place isn't in public.

“Separate your feelings form your behavior” I needed this today!! Thanks Echo!!!🙏

“I’m doing jiu-jitsu, what are you doing?...sitting there and being weak...” -Jocko Willink 🤣🤣🤣

[iFlowWithTheGo]

Stifle the spontaneous emotions. I always think "Will this be a problem in a weeks time" - no doubt it will be forgotten about.

[SonofMars]

Don’t repress emotions, control them. Repressing is running away from the problem, controlling them is addressing it. You control them by realizing if these feelings are justified or not for the current situation. Challenge your emotions, hold them up to objective reality and draw the conclusion as to whether or not they make any sort of logical sense.

Jocko I love you- you have changed my life. I never imagined I would be a healthy type or an exercising type. Keep spreading the positivity and love and help.

Buddhists say to NOT let your anger out - keep it in and learn how to work with it

[pandukawb]

Jocko has some psychic power to understand, what i am going through. About a week ago it was how to get over a breakup now controlling emotions. Exactly what i need!

[fakkadihellbitch]

Real testosterone vibes right here. I feel good watching this.

[jjonathan]

My philosophy and what I teach my kids...

Control your emotions, don’t let your emotions control you.
