"Stop your thinking and end your problems." -Lao Tzu
-
I struggle with this so much. I'm always so worried about making the wrong decision and mapping out the possible pros and cons.
-
Make a decision and roll with it. If it isn't working out, make a new decision. I can try 8 different things while you are still trying to make your first decision.

“Twitter callsign” the most special ops thing I’ve ever heard
-
"There's a fine line between consideration and hesitation. The former is wisdom. The latter is fear."
-
"If you allow timidity to guide your play then you will never achieve victory, Kai. All you will find are new ghosts to fear. Too often you allow the fear of that which your opponent has not even considered to keep you from greatness." The Emperor, Warhammer 40K
-
God has not given us a spirit that fears. If we see fear in our lives, it didn't come from God. We overcome fear with truth, passion, and clear thinking! (2 Timothy 1:7)
-
My grandfather said to me once “Some things are easier to do than to think of... so... go and do it and then think on the outcome.”
-
I sometimes have to be “checked”. These short videos serve as that check sometimes. I appreciate y’all.
-
Thinking about it is also taking action. Of planning the work, before working the plan. If the goal is big enough it requires a plan. And if a person usually fails to plan, their planning to fail.
-
I woke up, watched this, then cleaned the floors of my house, I feel good. Happy 4th y'all!
-
All I do is think.... i think out every part of my day. I’ve been told I think to much.
-
"Jocko, we're on the wrong sides for this episode." "Quit thinking so much and take action!"

I actually needed to hear this right now. I swear they know exactly what I’m thinking
-
I've had an embarrassing pathological fear of failure my whole life, so much so that now that I am way closer to the end of it than the beginning I realize that I didn't have much of a life at all. Thankfully I have found people like jocko and others who have given me a blueprint for life. I don't know how the rest of my life will come out but it will be intimately better than what it was. 😊
-
Shout out to my over thinkers, its a curse. I have been doing it real bad, procrastinating while thinking a lot. Needed this kick in the rear! Happy 4th everyone! Lets go be more decisive!
-
Jocko's exactly right. Overthinking is due to unacknowledged fear. That's certainly true for me, and I expect for everyone else who chronically overthinks and underacts.
-
Thanks for the love and input as always Jocko and Echo! God Bless! Stay strong, stay safe and take care of yourselves! Wishing everyone the best!

I've learned the only way to build self-confidence is through experience and through practice. You simply must take action.
