do you ever have doubts if so how do you handle them yeah I talked about the
doubt I had answering that second question if you don't have any doubt I'm
gonna be real suspect of you as a person so do we all have doubts hey folks sorry
to break it to you Jocko occasionally has doubts he'll never admit it right
but doubts are part of being human and if you're not doubting yourself you're
not challenging yourself either I believe this is just what I think so I
try to approach my doubts head-on unflinching you know did I have doubt
this third time I got sent into battle school yeah big time but put on the best
uniform put on you know get in the best shape polish your boots to the highest
standard be prepared to get shit on and and and Bulldog your way through and
smile while you're eating that shit sandwich you know like the doubt is you
ever heard that like you ever talk to someone and they talk about what they
want they really want to be doing okay so I have a I have a buddy of mine he's
a cop but he really wants to sell t-shirts and he's like I'm just wait
there's you know there's a time there's a time he even made a t-shirt for me and
he's probably gonna listen to this and he knows who he is and bro I told you
this at the time he said let's sign a contract for 12 months and this I'm like
you know I don't um six months tops and you know if that he's like why what's
the matter I'm like why just I just don't think you're gonna this is it this
is where your are he's like why and I'm like because you're not putting the
effort like you're cop you're not a t-shirt seller and he's easy you see
he's doubting himself to take that leap you know did I have a doubt when I put
my name in for the election hell yeah I did I've never been a
politician I was a gunfighter I was a sniper but okay I deal with doubt by
dealing with the situation does that make sense yeah because I want to know
that I can a get through this through it and if I fail I fail that's hey man I
fail all the time I failed reading your book I failed Megan to the airport in
time yesterday but and I have doubt all the time but I also have enough
confidence in myself that I'm willing to try almost anything and I don't know if
that's really the question that was asked but the answer is the same because
fear is the thing that holds you back from almost anything in your life it was
i nervous when I put my hand up to volunteer to go on sniper course hell
yeah I was but where did I want to be I wanted to be a sniper course it was i
nervous the first time I was in charge of a sniper team going into combat
uh-huh but guess what there's nowhere else I wanted to be
doubt is your doubt is your mind telling you you know to think about the things
you need to think about anyway right like the doubt is there for a reason
it's the self-preservation mechanism and you need to use that doubt to put the
thoughts into your mind to visualize the successful outcome like we talked about
earlier visualization you know I I picked your failure all the time and
then I picture how will I deal with it you know doubt doubt to me is just a
question to ponder and then move on you know so that's that's how I do it I'm
gonna say for me I agree the doubt is really how I know that I'm pushing
myself into a zone that I'm not used to but like the enemy
I respect my doubts I'm not afraid of them but I respect them I'm gonna watch
him I'm gonna listen to him I'm gonna understand my doubts but I'm not gonna
be afraid of them and I'm gonna destroy them
