Jocko Willink has changed countless lives using the phrase "Discipline Equals Freedom". It is his MO, his message, maybe even his identity. He has given speeches, dedicated podcasts, and written books about the phrase and the meaning behind it. However, I think it is grossly misinterpreted by most people who hear it. I myself have spent years using the phrase with the most ignorant interpretation possible. This morning I finally understood the true meaning behind that phrase.
