If you haven’t heard the voice than you havent been waking up early enough.. JW is a 4am’er & up before the crack of dawn, and also one of the greatest practitioners we have in carrying out a relentless attitude towards discipline. Post his tenure serving as Lieutenant Commander for the Navy Seals 3 teams in the Middle East, he has since pivoted into bringing his armed forces swiftly acting demeanor, back to society. His tenacious approach to moving forward, offers one to feel like the entire word of complaining should be banned from use..
He carries an approach, in dealing with humbleness and greater goal elevating in the good, and perspective in the not so good, that is contagious to living a morally, directionally guiding, and accomplishing life.
I recntly heard about the Power of Good from Jocko, and was immediately gravitated. What it aims to accomplish is in mastering how we can react progressively to anything thrown our way (read below in footnotes an expanded past post on reaction).
The essence of the Power of Good is simple- something doesn’t go your way… you do not get what you were looking for, ready for, or desiring? Right there in that split second your attitude should go towards acceptance. No matter how disappointed, saying ok I see. More effort, that’s ok. Growth, alright. Progressive light triggers inside saying, it’ll just mean more now. More clarity of what wasn’t to be.

Mission cancelled? Okay let’s focus on the other one/next one
Unexpected Problem? Okay, good opportunity to get creative
Didn’t get promoted? Okay, good more time to get better & grab better experience
Didn’t get funded? Okay, good we get to own more of the company
Got tapped out in jujitsu? Okay, good, better to get tapped out in training than on the street
Small tweaks to your perspective will go a long way to how quickly you move forward and take advantage of our most limited and important resource.. time, in a progressive matter..
