[Intro]
[Theo] Yeah, recently I've been trying to get a little bit more into, uh
Finding just motivation
[Jocko] Uh-huh
[Theo] 'Cause then at least I'm
Like, active in each
I've been trying to get more active into my day-each-day
Just like, okay, I want to do this
I call it going on offense
Instead of being on defense, you just go on offense
I'm gonna make some stuff happen
That's a good attitude when you think about, think, thinking about doing it
Just go do it
Don't waste time
[Chorus]
Thinking about doing it, just go do it
Don't waste time
Thinking about doing it, just go do it
Don't waste time
Thinking about doing it, just go do it
Thinking about doing it, just go do it
Thinking about doing it, just go do it
Don't waste time

People wanna know how to stop the laziness
And they wanna know how to stop the procrastination
They have some idea in their head, you know?
Some kind of a, a vision
What they wanna do, but they don't know where to start
And so they say, “Hey where do I start? And, and when's the best time to start?”
“Where do I start? And, and when's the best time to start?”
“Where do I start? And, and when's the best time to start?”
And I have very simple answer for that
Here and now
That's it
[Chorus]
Go!
You wanna improve?
You wanna get better?
Go!
And they wanna know how to stop the procrastination
They have some idea in their head, you know?
Some kind of a, a vision
What they wanna do, but they don't know where to start
And so they say, “Hey where do I start? And, and when's the best time to start?”
“Where do I start? And, and when's the best time to start?”
“Where do I start? And, and when's the best time to start?”
And I have very simple answer for that
Here and now
That's it
[Chorus]
Go!
You wanna improve?
You wanna get better?
Go!
[Intro]
Standby to get some
First thing when a revolution happens
They take over the radio stations
'Cause they wanna get right into the thoughts of the people
Think, it's going into your brain, its words
You ever heard of Akira the Don?
Just press play
Rome wasn't built in a day
We all know that
Everyone hears that
But Rome
Also didn't fall apart overnight either
It took hundreds of years for Rome to reach its peak
But it also took time, hundreds of years
For Rome to decay and fall apart
And that is representative of life
You don't achieve worthwhile goals quickly or easily, they take time
They take struggle
They take relentless pursuit, day in and day out

Good evening
I wanted to give you an update on the current situation in Afghanistan
As you know, we were set to leave Afghanistan this month and as we began the final drawdown
I made some critical errors
Namely, I underestimated the strength of the Taliban
And I overestimated the strength and capability of the friendly Afghani forces
This was my fault
And due to my mistake, the Taliban has taken control of Afghanistan
There are reports now that ISIS and Al Qaeda are working alongside them
Unfortunately, there are tens of thousands of Americans on the ground there
As well as friends and allies of America on the ground
These people, Americans and our allies are all stranded

The one thing that discipline definitely does help you with
It helps you get things done
And when you get things done, when you actually do things
You have more success
A big part of success is just not being fucking lazy and just doing it
90% of it is just showing up, get there, and start working
Like you're not gonna feel perfect every day
If I only worked out when I felt good, I'd be a fat fuck
'Cause there's a lotta days I don't wanna do it
It's pretty much the same with everybody that actually gets good at something
There's gotta be those days you push through
They're probably gonna be more numerous than the days you don't
And so the benefit of discipline in my eyes has always been that through discipline, I get things done
I'm like the most lazy disciplined person I know, because I don't wanna do it
[Pre-Chorus]
Through discipline, I get things done
The pro goes to work
Through discipline, I get things done
This is what I do
[Jocko Willink]
I also think that discipline is a pathway to creativity
When you're on the battlefield
Is an absolute exercise in creativity
How are we gonna attack them?
How will we get this organized?
How are we gonna get in their heads?
That's all just massive creativity
And when I look at people that are artists
I would imagine the more disciplined you are, you gotta write stuff down, you gotta read, you gotta increase your vocabulary so that you are quicker and sharper, so that when people are saying things, you have more words to battle back at them
All those things, all that freedom that you get on stage, comes from the discipline
You study, you learn, you read, you write, you talk, you go through things
Is that an accurate statement?
[Joe Rogan]: Absolutely accurate
[Chorus]
Through discipline, I get things done
The pro goes to work
Through discipline, I get things done
This is what I do
Through discipline, I get things done
The pro goes to work
Through discipline, I get things done
This is what I do
And it doesn't matter if you're sick, it doesn't matter if you have kids
You're a pro and you go to work and you have pride in that
And then when you are in front of that keyboard, you look down at the count
And it says, “I've got a fucking thousand words today.”
And outta that work, gems blossom
Well, you might have a day where you just write nothing but dog shit
So what? Show up again tomorrow, and tomorrow outta that dog shit a flower will emerge
[Chorus]
Through discipline, I get things done
The pro goes to work
Through discipline, I get things done
This is what I do
