WHEN IT HURTS, Push Past The Pain To ACHIEVE GREATNESS! | Jocko Willink

my wife and I suffered three weeks of turmoil which included losing a child how do i ex padai at that moment when we pick up ourselves basically how to push through so the pain that's going to come it's going to come in waves at first you won't even notice that their waves because all the waves are going to be so close together it's gonna feel like you are drowning in sorry you're not gonna get any air and like you're not gonna be able to escape that sadness that's what the waves feel like at first and then at some point there's going to be a little break just a little break just a little bit of light in the darkness something is - smile something's gonna make you laugh something's gonna just show you just a little bit of light and then another wave of pain is gonna come back again and it's gonna be strong and you won't have any control over all of a sudden you're gonna be just crying on controller you won't be able to say no no I'm done I'm in the right now I'm smiling right now I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go back there no you're not gonna build a controller that's scary you're at the mercy of this ocean of sorrow but don't let that scare you don't let that scare you because I'm telling you that that wave is going to subside again and this is going to go on it's gonna go on in the waves they will become weaker and what you need to realize is just because the waves are becoming weaker this doesn't mean that you love your child less or you miss them less or that you aren't crushed at their passing it just means that you're starting to be able to deal with it which is what you're supposed to do [Music] when you feel a little bit of a break what you can do is you can row the boat you can row the boat 1 and what I mean by that is start doing something productive to get your mind moving forward let's sort out the drawers in the bedroom let's back you but do something productive if there's something that distracts you that's fine do it let there be some calm in the water as the car comes sooner find moments where it's like you can have things that are gonna bring on the waves and that's okay to bring on the waves go look at the pictures write down the memories read the letters read the notes read the emails remember [Music] and then there's that standard service you're gonna do the memorial you're gonna do the burial and when that's over that'll do anymore time go by give yourself another week [Music] of washing around of feeling that sorrow of letting the waves toss you around the ocean but after another week what you do is you go and you write a letter you write a letter to your child and you explain to them explain to them how much they meant to you explain to them how heartbroken you are that they are gone and then explain to them why you are going to carry on and explain to them how in losing them you have learned without a shred of doubt how truly precious life is and that they have taught you the immeasurable value of your own life and your family's life and explain to them that you know that you know that they love you and that you know that they would want more than anything for you to be happy and productive and impactful in the world and explained in that letter what you will do to make them proud of how you live your life and then take that letter we go to their grave [Music] and cry kiss their soul [Music] and tell them that you'll see them [Music] go live your life those waves are still going to come and they're still gonna be paid and they're still gonna be son but you go and live your life leave it well [Music] you
