    This is why I love having Echo on the podcast paired up with jocko. Because Jocko lives so much in another dimension from normal people that he can’t relate to the small every day stupid struggles that most of us go through. But Echo is more of a normal human being, even though he’s still a monster machine.

    Any thoughts on how to balance just general indecision?
    For instance, I am going to France in August for 11 days. I could take 2 days to go to Amsterdam or spend the two days exploring other parts of France. It seems like a basic decision but it feels so uncomfortable to make it because you feel like you're losing something either way-- I'm either missing a chance to see Amsterdam easily or I'm missing out on something potentially awesome in France. (I know this sounds pretentious but I find myself in this conundrum a lot over different things, even workout programming)...

    Donkey not dead
    yet
    Years ago I learned. "To not decide, is to decide."
    Is a donkey the same as a jackass?
    A jackass is just a male donkey.
    This derives from the male donkey's nickname "jack" paired with the original donkey terminology "ass." Female donkeys are called "jennies" or "jennets," but a female ready to breed is known as a "broodmare."

    I got this donkey dilemma where i don't know what to do.
    I've been in a relationship for a little more than one year now. During the relationship, I've always been anxious cause of the future. My thoughts fucked me up really bad because at some point always when I am thinking about the relationship (what I do very often) I get anxious and start getting into mental breakdowns.
    I've know the girl for very very long and she is (really honestly) the most important person in my life. The problem is that I started developing a very bad level of anxiety that follows me all the time during the last months. As bad that I've started going into therapy (also because of other derealization and panic attack related things).
    The dilemma is that this girl is the fucking best person that I've ever met. She does EVERYTHING for me, she has such a good heart and I would have described my dream girlfriend the exact same way my whole life. Now my anxiety pushes me into thinking that I don't love her, that I will never be happy again and into having very very high level of anxiety when thinking about marriage for example.
    In my opinion, this anxiety somehow comes from other life moments that i've had and it has spread on my relationship. I respect her so much because she is able to understand and listen to me although what I'm saying to her must hurt her so much...
    My problem is that I really don't want to lose her, she is a really good person and she is my absolute best friend. I have no idea how to get around this donkey dilemma but I'm manifesting myself very very strongly into this anxiety and it takes all of my energy...
    I'd love to hear some opinions from strangers who don't know me just because I would like to know how y'all would react and if you've been in the same situation.
    (We live in a "long" distance relationship 250km apart and see each other once per month) (The long distance will end in October because she is planning on moving to my city to start university)
    Also if there is someone married or in a very very long relationship: How has it been for you? Are you anxious? Do you have problems with those thoughts?

    "Nothing is easy
    Nothing good is free..."
    It helps with something most military people know as the Boyd cycle. The OODA loop (same thing) is what we're really talking about here. Buridan's ass is the processing part necessary for the "Orient" and "Decide" phases.
    You can't up your processor much.
    You can overclock it, but then you're destroying some or all of it.
    So you need to look for improvements in the "Observe" phase. And maybe seek some advantages in the "Act" phase.

    Jocko you should look closely at the subtlety of your ego in the way you act towards Echo, you are acting out the pecking order between you two most of the video.
    Just an observation that I think you would appreciate because it is so hard to see subtle ego in ourselves and I know you don't want to be an ego guy, Thoughts?

    Is it a lack of sanguinity? With purpose comes motion, motivation.

      When society separates it’s scholars from it’s warriors, they will have their thinking done by cowards and their fighting by fools. -Thucydides (spell check had the name, phew, I don’t know the exact quote by heart).
      Joko is an amazing combination of poet and warrior. He understands the way forward so well it might be daunting to understand what perpetuates apathy? I feel like the donkeys dilemma might be having had walked between the two places. The journey resulting in a catastrophe of emotional thinking..? 🤷‍♂️👍

    Suppose, maybe, you were 29 days without food, and 2 days without water, and you were 1 day of travel away from both in opposite directions?
