RE: Think like a Viking: Part fourteen

in OCD3 years ago

Reading your post is like reading a summary of Jocko Willinks book's summary "Extreme Ownership".

Or it maybe that most military leaders who are successful, have the same thinking and attitude: ownership, builiding a strong team, keeping the ego in check and focusing on the mission, etc...

I don't know about reward but I believe that action kills stress and worries.
Doing something about a situation is better than thinking and getting into analysis paralysis(which I often fell into).

I understand these concepts but I am not able to apply them fully. Maybe it's because I just learned all these things in the last one or two years, and it takes some time to change behavior😓

Then, there you have your weekly post to remind people how to get better, or what they lack so they are not getting the desired results.

Thankyou🙂

It's a legit book bro and I'm glad to see you're read it! You listen to the Jocko Podcast? Get on it man.

action kills stress and worries.

This can be true for sure, although one needs to evaluate and plan prior to deployment and action and for that a certain attitude and mindset is required. Analysis-paralysis is also a thing of course. It's good that you spotted it in yourself and for the ownership to deal with it.

takes some time to change behavior

Hey brah, don't be downcast about the time it takes to change behaviours...Embrace the journey, find inspiration there, in your success and failures along the way.

I was talking about you with another user today and we both agreed that you're a good chap, a sensible and switched on guy with his head screwed on. Keep it up fella.

Thanks... I listen to a few podcasts like Jocko's, Tim ferris, Naval Ravikant, and a few more. But not a regular listener, because I avoid consuming too much of new information/material.
Though I do listen to audiobooks regularly.

Like Extreme Ownership, it's decades of experience of one of the top military leader in a 3-4 hour book.

I prefer to consume good things again and again than to consume new things more.

Like I have read extreme ownership once, listened to it twice this year. Similarly, atomic habits, must have read and listened to that book 4-5 times.

That's how I learn, with repetition😅

Thanks. I always try to speak my heart, and be honest.

Hopefully, I will be able to make a few friends here🙂

Engage with people mate, you'll make friends.
