NO EXCUSES – Motivational Video (Speech by Jocko Willink)
how do you stop making excuses this is
actually pretty simple and I said it the
other day and you have to realize you
have to know you have to accept that all
your excuses are lies their lies all of
them think about the things that you
tell yourself the lies you used to
rationalize taking the easy road taking
the easy road and leaving discipline
behind think about them always something
they’re debilitates on why you can’t
move on why you can’t grow to the next
level why you can’t begin to manifest
your greatness why you can’t begin to
live life on your terms always something
there to block you to keep you where you
are and keep you from beginning to
develop your true greatness always some
fear how do we handle it and I’m saying
that if you’ve been hiding out behind
but if you’ve been using the fact that
you don’t have enough money or you don’t
have the education take it head-on don’t
get the education you don’t have to
write
that’s a lot
you don’t have support
that’s all
you don’t you don’t know the best way or
you’re too old or you’re too young of
course you’re too old or too young lie
and there’s you’re too busy sure you are
that’s high and you’re too tired or
you’re too sore or you’re just plain not
feeling it lies lies lies and the list
goes on and on and on and it doesn’t
stop and if you don’t make it stop
what happens is about the same you might
put that in princess here same what
people do that’s what’s different
[Music]
everything can happen anything can
happen but it’s not the happenings it’s
what you do about it somebody says yeah
but you don’t understand the
disappointments I’ve had come on see a
lot of people pretend that they want
more out of life but all you have to do
is watch their actions people tell you
oh yeah one day I want to have a
restaurant see they’re pretending they
want to go into business for them
sitting on serious how can you tell less
watch their actions watch what they’re
doing the proof is in the pudding so if
you want to do something if you’ve
thought about something you want to do
take it here on decide that you’re going
to start looking at it start doing
research on it start tackling it start
becoming involved in whatever and where
it might lead you to begin to explore
the possibilities in that particular
thing that you’re seeking so that you
can begin to learn all you can about it
so recognize recognize the excuses are
not valid they are they’re trumped up
they’re conjured up they’re fabricated
their lies and how do you stop the lies
you stop the lies with the truth the
truth the truth will set you free
the truth will stand and the truth will
deliver you from procrastination and
laziness and the downward spiral that
comes with a lack of discipline
so don’t believe the lies believe the
truth and the truth is you have time you
have the skill you have the knowledge
and the support and the willpower and
the discipline to get it done
so
cast out the lies burn them down listen
to the truth then live the truth and go
out get it done
[Music]
decide that you’re going to face it that
whatever shortcomings you have that
you’re going to stiffen yourself there
whatever training is required that
you’re going to go get that training
that you’re going to get started right
now and George Washington Carver which
they do what you can where you are with
what you have and never be satisfied
always strive to be more than that which
you are yeah don’t get satisfied with
yourself always know that wherever you
are you can enjoy more that you deserve
more most of us go through life
pretending pretending that we’re
satisfied where we are pretending that
everything is okay
pretending that that we don’t have any
special goals or ambitions or desires
when really deep down inside we do
really want more but most people you
know they do most people go through life
quietly and safely tiptoe in turn early
wait
find out what it is you want and go
after it as if your life depends on it
why because it does
[Music]
