“Detach, look around, and make a call”
— Jocko Willink
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when we're in a tough situation, it's good to take a step back and try to see the bigger picture. Imagine you're lost in a forest; if you keep walking without thinking, you might get more lost. Instead, you should stop, climb a tree to get a better view, and then decide which way to go. In life, it's similar. If a problem is stressing you out, pausing for a moment can help clear your mind. Look at all your options, think calmly, and then make a decision. This approach can make it easier to find the best solution and move forward with confidence.
