Finding ownership
Finding ownership
Neglected and abandoned
What another rollercoaster of a week this was for me. My emotions surged from confidence and excitement at the road ahead to near utter despair at our current situation.
Cover and Move
As I continue on my path to embracing Extreme Ownership, I find myself in a textbook situation in which I need to rely on others. And itâs hard!
Practicing ownership
In addition to being an emotional roller coaster, this week was a wake up call for me. It was a good exercise in extreme ownership. And I saw clearly where I need to improve.
You should be listening
Avoid âYouâre rightâ
One lesson from negotiation is a helpful indicator of when things are not going well. You may think when someone responds with, âYouâre right,â that all is good. But thatâs not the case, as Jocko pointed out.
Kids books first
Jocko cracks me up. On a recent podcast episode, he was talking about why you should get the kids books heâs written first.
If youâre cognizant enough to order something from Amazon, order the kids books first. âCause you, look, your life is half over at this point⌠Youâve got one foot in the grave. But your kids, theyâve got their whole life ahead of them. Might as well get them on the path.
âŞď¸ Christ heals
This spoke to me deeply this morning from Amy Wright: Christ Heals That Which Is Broken.
đ§đď¸ Mind mechanics
This is such a great analogy. Jocko talks about how he started to understand mental health as he first talked with Jordan Peterson.
The mind is like a car, and psychologists or therapists are like mind mechanics who can help when the mind breaks down.
Start walking
Right after I posted some clips from a Jocko Underground podcast, a new episode came out. I loved the analogy Jocko gave of being stuck in a forest and needing to start walking to figure out where you are and where to go.
