Working two jobs, can barely make rent or pay for school, and I lost my brother/cousin last month to an overdose. I can say without a doubt that this is the lowest point of my life, but for some reason after listening to this I feel like I’m on my way to the highest point of my life. Fight on
Your not alone
Someone else out there has it much worse than you
Start by helping somebody no matter how small it is and climb your ladder from there
You can overcome
GodBless you thru your fight
@@toldyaso444 Telling someone that "someone else has it much worse" is not helpful to him. Things people say in thinking they are being helpful but it is not. You are not in his shoes carrying his load, it doesn't matter how much worse someone else has it, in his mind, his is the worst. What you said is a very selfish in that you are not taking time to say I see you, to have empathy for their situation, some compassion. Sometimes, silence is golden when we don't know what to say.

Got dumped. Mother became hospitalized with cancer and was given a month while I was finishing my degree while DEPed in for the SEALS. Watched this video while going through it. Never thought I'd get out. I'm out.

Got denied by the VA again to for benefits today. Man I needed to hear this.
I suffered an injury that left me paralyzed from the neck down two years ago. Every day I fought darkness and doubt. Every night for several months I cried because I had lost everything even the job I loved. I've always been strong willed and determined. I have always been mentally strong but it was a challenge every day. Now I'm learning to walk again I'm getting physically stronger. My doctor and therapist are absolutely amazed of how much I have healed. I've been told by several therapist that I'm a freak of medical science and that I'm breaking all the rules by how much I have healed. I'm here to tell you never give up never stop fighting dark days will come and go. You have to dig deep inside and pull yourself out of that dark hole and push on. If I can do it anyone can ......you either get busy living or get busy dying.
That’s my fav quote and words I live by
What if the loss of mobility and stregth became permanent?
It does for some of us?
And many in old age afterr years of so suffering in isolation just become exploitable by others, and of no positive influence or ability...
So what about us? You are firtunate and I amn glad you have seen hope rise again - but for many it never does again... No... for a Majority.
Many end it all ina final desperate act of dispair and solitide, I was prevented miraculiously once, but I now just have no energy left to live for anything, because I have no respources and in teh future what I had I will never have again, disease is a horrible thing when you know it is only ging to raveage you and deplete you even more in the future. And when those charged with varing are actually inatentive and uncaring and actually do more harm , then you just can not be bothered to fight for someone just to understand - it is just noot worth it any more when people ognore the isolated.
Sir, if you have to crawl to the finish line you Crawl!
You fight for every inch you move forward.
I have been where you are in life, and I too despaired of ever finding happiness but I never gave up.
Broke my leg pretty bad at work 6 surgeries and plates and screws and rehab. I had to learn how to walk again I may weeble wobble when I du but by God I'm moving forward fuk the past leave that shit behind you it's not helping you.
Music, reading hey make matchstick houses but find something that makes you smile and go from there work on the minute and the day will take care of itself
Warriors are built from the struggle, formed from pain!!!!!!! You will get through the storm, keep going, NEVER GIVE UP, DONT GIVE INTO ANYONE OVER ANY ISSUE!!!!!!!
Damn right! Keep on whatever comes your way!

Exiting the storm is the sweet peace of death.
@@dbros2656 Not everyone sees a light at all in dark tunnels. In fact, you may feel that there is zero hope in the situation you are in. The best advice I guess I can give you is that darkness always fails to beat the light and what I mean by that is that in dark situations it is only going to be a moment and that though there may be many nights to come they will all pass and keep seeking for good and eventually you may see some light after looking around. Just don't look so closely at the problem and try to perhaps look at everything around the problem. I may not be a professional motivational speaker, but I still just wanted to try and encourage through your dark storm.
@@joelkuriakose5413
I was very tired and stressed at the time of writing that and already feeling a lot more optimistic but thanks. It's funny how life can go from feeling like your world is collapsing to feeling on top of the world within such a short amount of time.
These words, saved my life. God Bless you.
What happened?
Stay frosty! Get after it!!
It's always difficult when we fell despair and there is no way out, but the us army field manual have a quote that goes "Other than death, all failure is psychological"
Stay strong! Stay positive and you will make it!! 💪💪💪
Your life is the recompense that every person around you gets.They should be the one to say thank you.
Ability to endure monotony
That count!
Mine too hang in there ❤️
Christmas Day. Woke up feeling so bad inside. Empty, remembering all the time wasted. I didn't know what to do so I opened up the computer and went to CZcams straight up to escape for a moment and kill some time. This appeared, I clicked, and I didn't watch anything else afterwards. I got on moving after hearing these words. God, how I needed to hear this. Thank you so much Jocko and EpicMotivation. This instantly became a daily must-watch for me.
Listening to this on repeat. The pain is real. Stay strong brothers/sisters.
Hope your doing better brother!
You might have saved my life Jocko. God bless.
I don't know you. But I love u!! Be strong and keep moving.. people are here for you. Even strangers
This video probably saved my life.
My sons health is going to shit. The level of messed up this year has been, I can't even put into words. Super thankful for these podcasts.
I'm overcoming infidelity and the loss of my dog on the same day. I know there are worse things, I just lost both of my best friends. I will turn this into the ship that will last the storm.
You coward stop being a pussy
God bless you Jeremy
Fuck
Damn... I don’t care what anyone says, that’s one of the roughest combinations I can imagine, just me personally... Keep your head up, and keep putting one positive step in front of the other, making decisions that make you stronger one step after the other. You may never really feel “motivated” so you MUST be dedicated. Sorry for your losses... Im a massive animal lover, so much so I can’t do them anymore... there lives are too short and often tragic...

Great comments!
It takes a fire to forge steel!
Jesus Christ, this shit made me cry lmao anyone who’s ever been down NEEDS THIS!
I’m in that darkness deep right now, but I always come back to this video in hopes of finding what I need inside of myself to get out of it.
Really needed this today. Got my heart broken. GOOD. I will use this to forge myself into a better person. I’m not out of this yet but I will get out. Thank you.
Love yourself brother it'll help you heal faster

I do jiu jitsu I love it 😁
@@basedchris8784 powerful 👊
Just to update you guys. I still think about it and I’m not completely healed but I am doing so much better than I was even when I was with her. I’ve started working out like crazy and I just got a job doubling my pay doing what I love. Darkness is a powerful thing and you can use it to sharpen yourself I promise you.
I have alot of Vets in my group on Mewe....the struggle is real..... passing this along....thank you Brotha, in arms......USMC Vet, myself
I cried yesterday for the first time in 20 years, listening to this is getting me through it. Thank you
Good
Sometimes you need someone or something or somewhere to just let it out.
Good
i have some videos saved that i watch to deliberately make myself cry ^^
@@MutenRoschergood
I listen to this every day, just to get through another day. I lost my desire for life, I'm just tired of life. Thank you for helping me through today.
I've been battling for 10 years to get through the storm... I'm now seeing a glimpse of light in the sky. What Jocko is saying, is true: don't ever give up. Never!
I have always been the "strong one". I am the second oldest of 14 from a mother who has been addicted to meth, in jail or gone most of my life. All of us from a bunch of dads who could care less or couldn't help themselves enough to care. Dirt poor and stuck in so many ways. But me and my older sister put our efforts together and sacrificed a lot of personal gain to give our younger siblings something we never had. And while I take so much pride in being the strong one, the protector, big brother. To say its been exhausting is an understatement. Would trade nothing but man there are days where I just feel like caving and like I have nothing left to pull from. I know it would probably be for the best to let the ones I love know and see that. But I feel so conflicted in doing so. I have always been the person people can go to. Makes it hard to let them see that hey I'm going through it to and feeling just as bad, as lost. Guess its why I'm on this video.
I burned a lot of bridges through my life and never could figure out myself, drinking is the number one cause. This video helped me become sober and moving on to find my internship
"You will get out of the storm and you will see the sun again." Those words made me cry
Im in the middle of a custody battle for my toddler son. Ive been through alot in life but this is by far the hardest of all challenges. He is being neglected and abused by his mother and put into situations that he shouldn't be experiencing. I needed these words today. I must keep a clear mind and keep fighting for him. Kyler, daddy got you buddy. I will not give up
My fight with cancer. I come back to this often to listen and be encouraged. Thank you.
If you're going through hell, keep on going.
transcript:
"I get a lot of awesome emails. I hear from people that have used the podcast and the discipline and the mindset of looking a things that are problematic as being good. I hear from people that used those things to overcome dark patches in their lifes, wether it's depression or anxiety or even despair. And when you hear from people that turn that corner it's incredibly rewarding. To know that there are people out there that are really changing for the better and turning their lifes from negative to positive... it's unbelievably rewarding. But I also get some other emails and I get some other messages from people that havent been able to dig out of that hole to overcome that despair. And to anybody out there that is in that place: You know you lock and load that last bullet and you shoot it at your enemy. And when you are out of bullets get out your knife and attack with that. And if you lose your knife, grab your enemy by the throat and you keep fighting. You keep fighting. And you keep fighting no matter what. And you never quit. You never... never quit. And if you feel like your life is in a place where you can't get any lower and you dont think you can find any way out. Good. Cause that means the ultimate challange is ahead of you. It means you can only go up. And it also means that things are going to be tough. Things are going to be tougher than anything you can imagine. But that storm that you are in... from your perspective it seems like that storm is enveloping the whole world... but I'm telling you: It is not. The storm that you are in, it is hard to see out of that storm and it is hard to see past it. It seems like the storm is everything. But the storm is not everything. It won't last forever. You can get out of the storm and you will get out of the storm and when you get out, you are going to see the sun again. But right now you are being tried in forge, you are being tested by fire and by pain. That's the test. Don't fail the test. Don't fail the test... don't give in. Don't quit. Don't ever quit. Fight on. Fight through the storm. Fight through the pain and come out the other side tougher and stronger and better. A fighter, a survivor, a winner - victorious. And... free from that storm, free from the darkness. Free."
I fucking love you dude!! Thanks!!
Many typos
@@Black.mountain._ obviously english is not my first language, so yes
No matter the outcome, when you make it through what your storm is right now. You will be better for it. Yall got this man. Work, family, relationships, doesn't matter. Yall got this.
You just took my Darkness and turned it into a challenge,,, you made me get up and move, Thanks!
Because of you your words I'm still alive and pushing through the storm bless you
Damn Jocko! This brought me to tears! I losing my dad due to dementia/depression since 2021. I lost my brother in December 2022 and next year I lost my best friend as well. I’m struggling mentally, physically and financially. This gives me hope! Thanks man…..
Jocko has helped motivate me to walk 2 hours to work every day. I'd ride my bike but the highway is too unsafe and I don't drive because I haven't in years. My coworkers drive by me and don't think about stopping. That's fine. That's the storm and I can't wait for winter
Ray Sport All the best to you, my friend, and never let that hunger to succeed diminish.
Ray Sport I feel this struggle myself today, and its good. Self Reliance no matter What means we're alive and need not to be dependable but within our selves., keep pushing man.
Thought I was the only one shipmate
As a strong willed person who's had many chances to give up, and never have. It brought genuine tears in my eyes and made me so happy to hear it validated. I just wanted to thank you Jocko for acknowledging and motivating us to keep moving forward no matter what obstacle comes our way. Have a great day everyone!
I can't express how much I needed to hear this right now Jocko. Thank you for being an inspiration.
These words work if you’re depressed for a month, 4 months, 6 months even a year. When you’ve been down this fox hole for 5,6,7,8 years, they fall on deaf ears. There’s truly no words to describe that hole that very few know. I really hope no one is ever in this hole.
Very true. Years of depression, bad jobs, bad luck, misery and tragedy. Too much pride to seek outside help, yet chained to a never ending, month to month, pay check survival. Young family depending on it.
You’re being battered in a never ending boxing match and at some point you was hoping your corner would throw the towel in or the ref would stop the fight. But others closest to you aren’t being as affected by this so just kick you up the arse when you complain.
Corona threw the towel in for me. A year on, people are trying to get me back in the ring. I’ve retired from that bullsh*t now.
My answer to years of depression is you can’t beat the cause by doing more of it.
Change your life path away from depression. Give it the finger as you walk away. Good luck buddy 👍
My dad is an ex cop turned binge alcoholic. In his second stay at detox right now, watching him slowly wither... I’ve listened to this every day. Thank you Jocko. You greatly inspire my resolve to stay on the path.
How are you and how is he right now?
Hands off, the best speech ever by Jocko
Spot On!!! I won't....and I will....A Warrior, Survivor, Victorious
So I use to binge his videos a lot, whenever I felt the lowest of the low, and I’d tell myself I’d feel better through nausea and injury. And I mean even watching David Goggins too. And you know what I’ve learned, you really can do anything, as long as you give it your all. I’ve gotten my blue belt in Jiujitsu, learned to get through the storm as-well.
I do miss figuring things out on how to push through and fighting the storm.
HOW DOES HE KNOW???? Love him!!! WE CAN GET THROUGH ANYTHING>>>> ANYTHING!!!!
This really hits home. My 12 year girlfriend is battling a bad meth addiction. The mother of my 2 kids is struggling bad. I cried through this whole video and as I type this. Thx Jocko. Any hope from anywhere, helps
I wish you the best

Ehhhh some controversy with that one. Kinda surprised he hasn’t been on jockos podcast
Never
@@captainchaos6812 What controversy
I am in a storm read now. and I feel so alone and empty. I tyerd and some times I what to give up. I fall in this life and I don't see any light. I just try to hold on every day. the first thing in the morning I lisen to you jocko. and then I feel a little bit of light shining in to my life. . thank you for uploading this kind of podcast.
i fought cocaine addiction for ten years .had some bad break ups .was violent and abusive ,ended up with a chronic Diseas .But all in all i getting up slowly and surely.i am a couple months clean now
Married to my husband from high school now for 7 years. We have had toxic family issues since we were first together. And still have them 7 years later. We have 2 younger boys and are fighting the fight every day to stay together. When I look at our boys that's every reason to stay together but when I look at family idk if we can ever be happy.... we don't wanna fail the test." Free from the darkness"
One day ,when I will face my last "storm day" as Jocko would say , I would love to put my headphones and play this in my last seconds. God bless you Jocko, this world needs more of heroes and leaders like you.Thank you for being part of my journey and leading me to become better version of myself.
"DO NOT EVER QUIT! "
Jocko, what if you find that you are your own enemy. There is a word called LITOST, this Czech term means 'a state of agony and torment created by the sudden sight of one’s own misery'. PTSD has me in its grip and I grapple with it every day, I have finally gotten help, your podcasts and Jordon Peterson’s have helped me a great deal. I will prevail, I know what gun oil tastes like. Never again will I go so far down the abyss. Take care, God’s speed.
I know exactly what you're going through. Grab a book called "Excommunicated Warrior", it helped me A LOT !!!
Push through brother, it's hard but there is light at the end of the tunnel and will only be stronger and wiser because of your struggle
Man, have you ever heard about David Goggins?
Search him on CZcams, his history is amazing, you might find advice on him
Lítost je svině
How are you doing buddy? How's your life going?
Anyone reading this push through the fog, push through the smoke, for the only way. The only way IS forward, it will get better! I believe it! It will, but you can not stop fighting, you can't just sit, and zone out, thinking what if. By the time you are done, the clock has run out, it will be too late. If my Brother who passed in 2019' stop'd to think about his service in Iraq, his Cancer, he would have missed out on so, so much. He fought, and he enjoyed every moment he could, with a smile. So, push through, get mad at any Fear, and get up! And do it! Be better! I'm doing it, and some days are so much harder than others, so I came here. Know you are loved, in your heart, close yours eyes and feel the warmth, that is love, you are loved. So don't give up! Never back down! We are here.
This video just save my life
Jocko is the best medicine
Jocko could be best motivational speaker out there, because he actually motivated people for years- when there was question of life and death.
Stopped walking that two hours to work and got a licence and got a new job right after I started driving. Thanks jocko
I really like comment sections from Jocko videos. They're the best ones.
Thank you Jocko for all your truth and encouragement!
GOD *** THE AUTHORITY AND CREATOR ****

Thank you, Jocko. Your words are pure iron for the will.
I really love the Podcast of Jocko. It has become my everyday routine to listen to all of his podcast. An anti-depressant. Thanks for creating such an amazing contents. Appreciate it!
I love you, Jocko!!! Thank God for your wise words that help me to be a Navy Seal at heart & an American who won't give up and will conquer. We can do this, beloved brother!!!! In Christ, Kimberly // Don't stop fighting and never give up. To God be the glory. Be blessed, brother!
Jocko I didn't who you were at first but your voice saved me young and now you go where I go est.2016-2017
Best speech I've ever heard
thank you Sir. For those of us who have been there try to help a fellow brother out of the darkness he is going thru. those that are alone, keep walking to the light or goal that you have set one step at a time and life will gradually improve.
I went through a storm for two(2) year's. In that storm I contemplated giving up when I saw no hope. After the help from a handful of friends and seeing how life has gotten better since those day's this still bring me to tears because I almost gave up everything. Thank you for the kind words that helps me NEVER to give in not give up on life.
Love this. The last bullet, the knife, grabbing the throat..powerful imagery. Good reminder. Thank you.
God bless you Jocko.
Discipline equals freedom!!!... Thank you Jocko!...You rock!
I cried several by listening to this. Unbelievably great strong words. We let the pain be our guidepost for getting into the realest and best version of ourselves!
Keep it up!
i listen to this once a day, sometimes twice. i’m winning everyday, overcoming my obstacles. but the goal is to stay free from the storm and darkness. why i continue to listen! thank you jocko
It's my birthday. I'm alone. 34. I lost in life. And I don't have much left. I battle anxiety. Depression. Full fledge despair. I went out and bought a cake. It's the first time in my life I bought a cake for myself and the only one true time I feel I'm actually having a birthday cake. Because I will be able to share it with the only person that is going to be there for me always. The one who won't quit me. The one who will never let me quit. My hero. Myself. I'll keep fighting no matter what. And I will never. Never quit. It's only up from here.
YOU GOT THIS BROTHER!!!!!!! Rooting for you from half way across the world.
Your words are saving my life and the relationship with my son. Thank you Jocko for existing on this planet God bless you and your family !!!
Changed from music to these speeches during morning PT. Can run farther,do more push ups and generally just go farther. Thank you Sir
Wow, just wow. This was me over the last few years, the fighting, the storm, the depth and the darkness.
Then the strength, the power, the win . Iam stronger than I have ever been and I look forward to the tests. It's not easier, I'm better and I'm free. Don't quit.
Thanks again Jocko.
Hearing this from India. Really resonated loudly with me. Thanks Mr Willink.
Over the past year I've gone through pure hell and was left alone in the darkness. Things are still fucked up and I'm still in that darkness. Many times over this period I've thought about taking my own life. I have a few of your books Jacko I was in the navy and was going to go for seals qualified to go to buds but got caught for underage drinking and they said that wasn't going to happen so I know what kind of man you are. And you have my upmost respect because I know your a man who has heart. This video I watch everytime I start to get those thoughts of giving in and it's kept me crawling through my darkness with hope that I will soon see the sky and light again. I'm starting to initiate some of your philosophy from discipline equals freedom. And I'm starting to feel a shift in my mind as well as my body. I'm finding the new me and you've helped me start to achieve that with your no bullshit straight forward talk. So thank you. Love the podcast and I'm currently searching for a good ju jit su gym to start learning that discipline. Last time I felt this good was 21 years ago when I was in the navy I'm 40 now. I've lost everything but I guess that's what was needed for me to reconnect with the man and father I want and need to be. Just shot that last bullet guess I'll get out the MK3 knife and try it with that. It's really true that the only easy day was yesterday love that phrase. Actually have it printed out and hung on my wall now so it's the first thing I see when I get out of bed. Keep doing what your doing because you are touching peoples lives in a positive manor and making a difference in this crazy fucked up world. Take care
Awesome!!!!...Thank you Jocko, you have changed my life for better...I have been listening your messages to the world, for two years...Thank you, and blessings Jocko, long live!!!!...
Hey Jocko,
Thank you & your family for your Service & Sacrifice in our great military.
Thank you for your Service & Sacrifice on the digital battlefield, as you minister Truth and Hope to us. Thank you for ministering to me as i listen to you everyday. The Lord Jesus continue to bless, provide & protect you & you’re family.
You remind me of King David who was a fierce military man who slew thousand & won many victories and yet he was a poet & gentle soul as well.
Thank you Jocko!
I take my hat off to you Mr. Willink.
Thank you for your words and support
❤I am so happy that you bring REALity to this fantasy world... Way way too many people learning things as dangerous w/o any "disciplines"...
This video will save lives if not already... Thank you Jocko and Echo.
I will see the sun again.
I will fight.
I will complete my mission.
I will push through all that comes at me.
I will breathe free air.
I will no longer see shame on the face of the one in the mirror.
The end of my battle brings fearlessness and freedom.
I will hold my head up higher than ever.
I will thrive.
I must.
My family, friends and country need me to not merely survive.
I will win, with dignity and honor.
So when my next battle comes, I will be propelled forward because I choose to never ever ever stop fighting.
MrStropparo fuck ya man
