I wish my son would have called me, I wish my son would have come home. But he didn't. Listen to this man. He is wise. Whatever you do don't quit... My son quit... He was in Alaska. He had a great job he had money in the bank he had everything going for him he was 31 years old. And he took his life 5 years ago in August 17th 2017... it's a living hell for the family to deal with on a daily. Holidays are horrible... Contact your mom and dad if you get in trouble give them a call. Don't sit in silence. Reach out to someone. My son didn't realize how many people loved and cared about him. He's gone forever. Depression is a liar. Depression tells you that no one cares. Don't let depression lie to you. Don't quit because every storm that you go through in life makes you a stronger wiser individual... Get up in the morning and put your armor on. And when Life starts throwing arrows. You will be able to withstand them. You will come out stronger than ever. Don't quit. Don't ever do it. I miss my Son 💔😭 so MUCH.👣🌄🌻🍁🌿🌏❣️
Depression doesn't lie. It changes you, alters the way you think. To a depressed person their thoughts are as logical as laws of nature, and that's the scariest thing I've ever felt. To know with your mind that people care for you and love you, but not being able to feel and acknowledge that with your heart and soul is hard. But as long as you keep yourself strong mentally and physically, you can live with it, and perhaps it'll get better eventually. Hope is strong, hope is what saves you in the darkest hour.
Hearing you talking about boats made me remember something my grandfather once said - "When the ships were made of wood, the men were made of steel, now the ships are made of steel and the men of wood." Thanks Dewayne for reminding me to be a man of steel. God bless
@@zsedcftglkjh explain the steel boats than... besides why try and disect his grandfathers great quote anyway? what have you to gain? and while your at it explain all the sunken wood in the ocean everything sinks if were being extreme. the point of the quote is the men were strong their tools were weak but they made do, now the men are weak because their tools are strong and they no longer need to be.
@@b3_op103 steel is more dense than water, so it sinks. Wood is less dense, so it floats. The reason boats made of steel float isn’t because steel can suddenly float on its own. It’s because steel boats are made specially with buoyancy compartments, essentially pockets filled with air.
@@AJ0223 no, I was quite clear. It’s not my problem that you are too remedial to keep up with basic logic. Also my username is my god given name from birth it cant be childish. That’s like saying the name Steve is childish. You are incoherent. What point did I miss? He asked to explain steel boats, and I did exactly that. I explained it in a way that even someone like you SHOULD be able to understand.
I'm a 36 year old man,and I've had to make some tough decisions in the last 2 weeks.im now raising 2 boys on my own working 50 hours a week and it's tough it is..I stumbled across your channel as I was rite in the middle of the storm and I just wanna say thank you,I love you 2..and I am a warrior, and so are you Sir
Ryan… congratulations on being a single parent. Being a single parent will test everything your made of. Luckily you are not the only single parent… Try to reach out to Friends and family, and other single parents. Most importantly stay away from drugs and alcohol and you will reap the rewards. Hug them every day and tell them you love them!
I raised 2girls myself. I worked 6 days a week doing metal fabrication. Right about your age when my wife left me. It was hard as hell at the time but now looking back it was some of the best time in my life. I will say our house was peaceful after she left and my daughters think I’m a rockstar. They are 23 now (twins) and I’m 55.

On behalf of all the young man and women who has and who will stumble upon these videos, I Thank you for shining a light through these storm and darkness. I'm a 21-year-old and I can say that this is the kind of school we need, especially now a days. Too bad I'm here at the last week but, looking forward to next year. Will be going through previous videos.
“Dried out and cleaned up” big one for me. Been working my way out alcohol addiction lately, going to college, trying to work my way into a better life. Thank you Dwayne. And to the rest, we are all stronger than we know. We just have to steer into the waves.
Hey Josh, how are you holding up? From one sober person to another: You can keep going. Even if you misstep here or there, you can continue to make yourself and your life better.
what's up Josh keep up the good work, keep steering into the waves. my position is the same and I keep looking at my age and accomplishments.. stuck in the past. in this manner, I wasted a lot of todays. Today is the day to seize - I am finishing uni, 6 months without addiction and growing religiously. The past is the past let's get tomorrow to be something of our choosing to be proud of
You're a rare and preciously gifted man Dewayne. And we're re all fortunate that you were born in a time when you can share your gift with the world. For the good of us all, don't stop what you're doing. Regards from the east coast of Australia.
Your analysis of Gandhi was spot on. When I was in the Army I was talking to a fellow soldier originally from India. Mentioned Gandhi to him in conversation once. Imagine my surprise to learn that not all Indians were happy with the things Gandhi did ie giving half the country away to form Pakistan, etc. Caused a re-evaluation of cultural icons on my part.
Wow Dewayne , this was powerful. So many young people need to hear this today. I have a young friend whose boat is in danger of going under. I am going to send this to him. My boat is old and foundering. The bilge pumps are on their last legs. But I had a good run and I'm not giving up. Nobody is coming to help me, but I've started bailing anyway. Thanks for this.
Whoa man I was cooking my supper and listening to this.. didn't take long before I was standing in my kitchen weeping. I have heard alot of motivational talks lately but this one tops them all. For me my pride and cynicism keep me from asking for help, I have been working on something I'm passionate about, sadly most think I'm crazy and won't even listen to what I have to say and walk away if I even mention investing. I refuse to let go of this dream die despite the storm I face. I want to thank you sir for your most inspiring message. God bless you and your family.
The people who are unsupportive mostly I think they don't have any of their dreams fulfilled so they can't give genuine emotional support because they don't know what it's like to fulfill their life's mission. They are stuck in negative and morose thinking. But most people are like that, and anyone who makes an effort like yourself are very courageous for braving that storm. Some people might even look on at you with like someone else said with jealousy, or resentment because they bought into lies why they cannot make their life better. Those people would rather tear other people down who are become successful so that they don't have to look at you and to feel the disparity between them and yourself.
This video is so incredibly important to me that I had to download it. I'll always keep it around on my phone, and it will be my source of strength and determination whenever I'm going through rough waters.
Dewayne & Momma have created a school. Initially I thought this school was about something that really interested me so I subscribed to enjoy learning about a lifestyle that I have been a part of at points in my life. And I learned a lot about that lifestyle. But the most important things this channel teaches us is about people & ideas. Dewayne & Momma are using their life experience to help us all find a path through “the storm “. And they do it in a way that gives encouragement to all that are willing to listen. The horses appreciate it to because being a standup, logical & reasonable person makes life better for all around us … people & horses.
Love when your videos pop up. Somethin bout hearing you talk is really peaceful. I find myself listening to you most in the morning when i start my day making breakfast and sipping coffee. Idk how to explain it but hearing you talk is calming
Thank you Dwayne, I hope you realize just how much of a help and blessing you are. I'm 42, husband & father of 5 and have recently been diagnosed with lymphoma. I had the privilege of being raised in a Christian home and was Saved at a young age. I live near a few costal churches and the fishermen in them have seen some terrible storms while at sea, some have lost their lives to them. My father flew for the RAF and conducted many search and rescue sorties for those in peril on the sea. Hearing those men sing the hymn "Will your anchor hold" when you know they've been through storms physically, mentally and spiritually is a moving experience. This storm that I'm heading into isn't of my making but I take comfort that I can call out to the master of the storm and find solace in the chorus of that same hymn "We have an anchor that keeps the Soul steadfast and sure while the billows roll; fastened to the Rock which cannot move, grounded firm and deep in the Saviour's love. I pray that God will bless you, your good lady wife, your viewers and help you in this work that you undertaken.
Very moving. We Will pray with conviction and claim your 100% deliverance. The health concern you have is not yours. Give it back to satan. Invoke the Holy spirit through Christ to drive satans sicness back where it belongs. IT IS NOT YOURS! I would suggest if you are saying " I have lymphoma" just say "Ive been healed". You HAVE. Know it. Say it. Let no one say otherwise. Miracles are REAL. They are being performed all over the world. Not fancy churches, necessarily, but by people just like you. Fully trusting and strong Christ followers/believers. Let no one speak of anything but your complete deliverance. Even doctors. There is no room for doubters or miserable comforters. Christ raised the dead. Greater is he, Christ, that is in you than he, satan, that is in the world. Stopping to pray NOW, Love you. Doug Rock
I'm Losing my job and being made redundant and i'm keeping positive and fighting but reading your comment puts me in my place and puts everything into perspective. my thoughts are with you i cannot imagine what you must be feeling. but you've helped me. Thank you
Coming from a young Brazilian man, who've dropped college a few times and fought some mental disorders, I just discovered your channel and every single video I watch gives me some deep insight, wise words. Gonna send your videos to my dad, he would love to watch this talks as he's also a deep thinker who tries his best to pass on his knowledge to me and my brothers. Thanks for such videos!!
You have, and continue to change my life for the better with each one of your videos. I've been happier in my life, I've had more money in my life, but I've never felt as whole and true and on the path that was meant for me as I do today, thanks to you. From the bottom of my heart, I love you too Dewayne. Thank you so so much.
Many others read the comments share what you've changed accomplished in this change you've made. Amen for taking the steps to follow your heart I truly believe doing so with kindness leading the way anything is possible.
Thank you for talking about family today. I rented an apartment with a good childhood friend. So we could afford to move out, and all the fun things we both enjoyed. We take care of the tasks we both feel need to get done, because we respect each other. My dad and younger brother both had to bum the couch the last 2 years though. I've been very bitter about it, I never show it though to them. Because they are safe, I love them even in bitterness. You healed me when you talked about the Pride(the good kind) of returning home to loved ones. I was pretty immature, and frankly. I understand where some of my self hatred stems from now. That bitterness is the words of others, who kept saying I should kick them out. They don't have anywhere else to go. I can feel the love of their trust in me more clearly now, I have on some level a renewed strength in me. More room to move. So thank you sir.
I have watched your videos many times. You have some of the best advice for all to follow. Doesn’t have to be horses,ships at sea,politics or whatever. Keep up the great work you are doing. 16:41
Dewayne I really appreciated the video. I'm going back to church now after 15 years and I've cut off all the bad influences in my life. Thank you! You showed me where my life needs to go. I appreciate all your videos and say hi to mama for me.
You mean so much to us all sir! I just became sober(fully) in Apri of this year. Life has been very difficult to cope without drugs/alcohol. Your videos put my mind at peace. I actually fall asleep now to your advice and knowledge now instead of the voices of regret and shame. Thank you.
Hi Friend, just want to encurage you to change your profile name. The Bible make it clear that words are powerful. You can talk Life or you can talk Death, friend. Talk Life, believe in Jesus Christ, read the Bible daily, if only a few verses per day. And pray with thanksgiving in Jesus Christ name, also daily. And I promise you. The anxiety will gradually dissolve and a New and beautiful version of you will gradually start to flurish. I believe in you brother, and so does The Lord. ❤️🙏 Peace be upon you, Dan
I went back home to my family a couple of years ago and it really helped. We all help each other and love each other every day. Society tries to shame people for living with their family, and it really means a lot to hear you speak so strongly in favour of being with your family. It really felt like you were speaking directly to me, and I feel really encouraged. Thank you very much.
I also needed this. I'm 33, I was up all night after I made a noose and set out some clothes. I really soaked this in and listen to what you have to say and it's level. And it's inspiring. I used to need to make art, need to be outside and cycle. I need to push through this. My oglala ancestors wouldn't want me to be the growing statistics. I always wanted to help folks..
You need to Weather this storm....you will love and respect yourself much more after...form a routine, do the mundane tasks and burn yourself out physically. Love and blessings from a woman who is weathering her storm of a parent suddenly passing...and having the responsibility of running the household on her own...with dad and brother. I was suicidal at the beginning and felt lost as my mum was my world....but You can and WILL do it. Xx
I'm happy to hear that you're coming out to Wyoming in the Spring! My husband and I have subscribed to your channel and have enjoyed your vlogs very much. I love that you are speaking positive and encouraging words to the men, young, old and in between in our country. It has been on my heart for many years. I'm a 66 year old Mother and Grandmother that quit watching sit-coms many years ago, when the Cosby Show and others started depicting young boys as inept and stupid, and little girls as always smarter. That was when my son was five years old. I didn't want him subjected to that nonsense. We are blessed to live in a part of the country where men are respected and women are given the same opportunities as men. That being said, Men, don't give up. The Lord has hardwired it in your DNA to be an overcomer, a cultivater that makes things better than the way it was when you first got it. Keep the faith.
I'm very happy to hear these words right now, I'm a teenager and live in Brazil we were having our presidential elections today, and everyone in my social media and in real life was fighting. My parents are not that happy with the results because we are a farmer family, and the man elected today has very anti-agroindustrial policies. So I was in a pretty bad mood, but your wise words made me happier, thanks a lot, I might even show this video to my parents after this, even though they don't speak English. I hope someday we stop fighting about politics or religion. Have a good day Duane!!!
Thanks for being out there Dwayne! You help me and others weather that 15 mile wide storm and keep the boat afloat. Thanks again buddy… Your in my prayers.
Listening to Dewayne reminds me of reading out of Proverbs or going to the local gas station and listening to the old timers talk. So much wisdom. Thankful for everything you put on here. You truly do inspire me to lead my family in the right direction in a time where there's so much uncertainty and lack of strong rooted leadership/advise.
25 and reevaluating my life. Thank you for the boat and storm analogy. I needed to hear that. As a lost man, I’m going to refocus and decide where to set sail in my life. I need direction and discipline with myself. More importantly I need purpose.
Another great motivational video. Thank you so much. My life is so hard at the moment and your videos help me so much. My little girl is my everything, the CPO date is Thursday I really hope this gets dropped and I get shared custody of my little 9 year old luv bug.
My Dad passed away last week, he was a sailor and brought us home everytime on trips to Bermuda, Nova Scotia , sometimes I dont know how but he did lol. So many storms on a 31' sailboat he built. Your a great mentor, ty for being a voice of reason for these kids nowadays.
Finding older folks to gain perspective from is one of, if not the best way, to grow as a man. Although, I would like to add that some of the more inspired mindsets and dawning of realizations for me, has come from a man four years younger than I. Do not let pride and a systemic notion that "older is always wiser" stifle you, from receiving that which you need, from someone who has learned more from you, in a shorter span of life. I love you guys! let's keep growing and finding ourselves in a very trying period of life. 🙏🏻
Growing up in a rural town, I knew a lot of people with horses, many of them kind, good, strong people. You remind me there are still people like that. The world's full of crazy now. I'm steering through my own storms. So I really appreciated hearing your message today. Thank you.
Going to recommend this to my son he's 25 years old and I see the loneliness in him even though he still lives at home with his mom and I. I feel his loneliness he's like a a boat on the ocean in a storm and no power, he's just afloat.
What an amazing speech. These words truly helped me today, at this point in my life. Dewayne thinks he's just a regular guy... when in reality he is an amazing man.
Storms come and will go, I see it at 49 years old. Glad I found my way as others did not see light on the other side. I found mine, by finding me! I have found a great person in me. Keep up the great work you supply. We grow when a tough storm hits our boat. We don't learn if we don't experience the hard water times. It's how we survive and find flat water to make progress with our knowledge. Good stuff. Can't change others, only yourself.
Another great video. You surprised me on the direction you went, with the storm analogy I thought you were going to say hang on the storm won't last. And yes, family first. In times past many generations lived in one house and they all benefitted from that as long as the home was built on love. The old need the love, help and entertainment of the young. The young need the teaching of the old. There should be no shame in going home, there should be rejoicing it is what you do when you land home. Thank you! Note: Edit changed word house to home.
This had me in tears 😭 My late husband used to say smooth seas never made a skilled sailor. I lost him in 2020 a boyfriend in 2021 & split with someone very dear to me a couple weeks ago. I needed this message. Thank you 💙
I enjoy watching your videos a lot because it gives me a look into a different life as a 17 year old Aussie man who never had a good relationship with my dad you’ve given me a lot to think about because I was never told what’s right and wrong so I’ve just had to figure it out my self
If you find and talk to older men, they will be more than happy to help you along the way, just remember they are teaching what they were taught. If it's for you awesome, if not look again.
Not sure why I never liked or subscribed until this video but damn this hits hard.I like to watch these videos because you make me feel real, holsom and hopefull. True badass. Let’s get back to real life. I think we will all find each other when the time comes…
Hey dewayne thanks for the chat. I like the analogy of the Buffalo in the storm. From what I understand they will head directly into the storm. Of course they will get hit hard with the front but they will also be out the other side sooner. Like your suggestion about steering the boat into the storm. Be like a buffalo!
A couple years ago I took a group of guys out fishing. We had caught a limit of red snapper and could see a storm coming. We pulled up anchor and headed for the bay . We where almost there when we heard a mayday call. Got the guys GPS number and punched it in turned around and went straight back out 10 miles into terrible seas. Luckily we where going into the waves. Coastguard tried to get me not to go. Took two hours to go ten miles. Found three guys hanging onto the bottom of capsized boat. Boy they where happy to see us. I was orphaned at age 12. Never made much money. Drive tractor s for fifty years planting , plowing and harvesting. Saved a little money bought an old boat fixed it up. I have been an alcoholic and quit drinking. Been through a lot of hard times. Yet you just got to get through the storm . These guys where looking for a helicopter but got saved by an old farmer. I am 68 years old still working on a farm everyday cause I can't afford to quit. Just keep going into the storm I love it.
Sir I don't say much on most videos but I think that this is a brilliant way of thinking! You are top notch one of the most wise men that I have ever came across. And I am not here to stroke your ego, I really mean it. Very few have ever got that compliment because I don't say it often. However after watching you for a little while I think that you are one of the best with wisdom. Thanks for doing these videos because they are important! GOD bless
You hit the nail on the head. I lost my dad on August 16, I’m a 55 year old self made business man who is now closer to my 73 year old self made retired business woman mother than I’ve ever been because she needs my help with things she depended on him for. Your words struck a core. Thank you.
Very well said Dwayne I might add I have never spent a day alone the promise of the holy Spirit the comforter is with you always so that you will not be alone 💥💪🐝
This right here, is what our young people should be viewing as role models. As a guy who didn't have a strong relationship with my dad (or any other male figure) I am finding your videos to be so very much insightful and full of wisdom. I've seen several of your videos and have enjoyed every one of them but this one hit harder. I am most certainly not at the giving up point in any way whatsoever, but the last few years have been rough. Having kids in and out of school during COVID, less socializing, dad passed away, major career change, and a divorce with 2 young kids involved. All of this literally in the last 3 years. Some days are good, some not so much. Sometimes I wonder if this is just my new normal. But when I look back I can say that things have gotten better, however at a very slow pace, but better overall. It helps to stop thinking so much of the past, which we cannot change, and also not think too much about the future, which has not yet arrived. Staying in the moment and appreciating what you have (rather than dwelling on what you don't have or how you think things ought to be) helps a lot. Be like water and go with the flow of life, don't resist obstacles/hardships, find ways to go around or over and continue on your journey. Love you guys! Hang in there!
I just found your channel and I want to thank you for your message. You know when the pandemic started, I felt helpless, I felt there wasn't much I could do, but the one thing it did do, was it drove me and my family out camping, like I used to do with my step dad and mom. I also took up hunting and fishing again like I did when I was younger. In the quiet of the woods one day, I noticed I started feeling better about myself and my situation. I then went back to church again and joined the Knights of Columbus, because I felt better and I thought maybe I could help others to feel better. I went to the soup kitchen to help out, and I found myself listening to a homeless man's story. Of all the things in the world he could want, he wanted someone to listen to him, so I did. Each time I went back, I kept listening to him. I let him talk, he got better each time I went back. He now lives in the village where other homeless people are rehabbing. I like to think my listening to his story each time I go helped him.
Another great discussion, Dewayne. In the teaching world, we're experiencing turnover rates never before seen. I have colleagues who have been placed under such extreme stress that they've put themselves in the hospital. I've personally experienced major health problems as well. Our storm has turned into a hurricane, and the onset of "burnout" is so high and so fast that many are isolating themselves from their support system (their colleagues and families). It's preventing us from helping the other boats (teachers). As far as the storm, we've got post-pandemic ed. policy, and the lack of social-emotional growth affected kids are displaying. We are seeing policies and behaviors that feed off each other to exponentially worsen the conditions. As far as helping the boats, our admins are supposed to be our support system...but are instead poking holes in the hull while all the teachers as colleagues frantically bail water. The result, teachers are grabbing their life vests and making for the shore. A great analogy Dewayne, hopefully the storm doesn't last much longer for us.
This is the first time I’m hearing wisdom of this caliber. It has brought waves of tears to my eyes for the first time in months. I cannot express enough how helpful your words are to hear. I won’t add another bundle of burdens to your heart, however I will let you know that you are providing the tools to self improvement to lost souls like me. Please never stop giving advice to us or the people around you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Sir!
As someone who grew up without a father figure and has learned to do everything himself. Thank you. This is a lesson I’ve been battling with and needed these words of wisdom.
For you Dwayne I want to thank you with all of Heart ♥️ Proud to know a Man like you ! Your Words have given life to more people than I believe you know ! 🙏
I've been waiting to watch this video for a couple days, and I just watched it at the perfect time. My father is one of those guys to shake his fist and point his finger at the storm. I'm trying to learn how to steer my ship through the waves, and people like you are helping me get there. Thank you.
I'm 32, lost my job during covid and i had to move back home with my mom to and admit to her i was addicted to fentanyl. Ive been living here a little over a year now and she's helped me get off that stuff without rehab or detox, just family. 11 months sober now. I'm also about 11 months free of depression as well. Been spending my days helping my mom revitalize our property, it's got 20 years of overgrowth. Just recently found this channel. A lot of what you've got to say really reaches out to me, i appreciate the wisdom you've got to share.
Good job man you made it out of the storm. Many people addicted to that stuff end up dead. For those that have died maybe they had no one to help them through it. For me if I didn't reach out to other people other than my family, then I'd be in a bad place.
It's been a while since I've felt suicidal, and obviously I pulled through, but if I had had this then I think recovering from that would have been easier. Thank you for this, and for all the people it's going to save.
Ty, Your Absolutely Right! Your One Smart, Caring & Godblessed Man. Stay Safe and Healthy! Keep your energy high and positive attitude and Never forget, Who We Are or Our Faith 🙏🙏🙏🙏Ty
I'm not even in to horses and somehow came across this channel, the wisdom and advice will keep me coming back. More and more young men seem to be confused and disgruntled today with all this nonsense going on. I have noticed a lot of men today are being raised in single households and think that has something to do with it. I suspect there is a lack of masculine roll models in majority of American homes today because of a combination of things, a lack of accountability and government incentivization of divorce with masculinity being labeled as toxic as well. It was refreshing to find your channel, I think you are helping a lot of young men including myself keep moving forward through the storm.
Thank god you have parent's to go home to. Some of us do not have no parents to go home too because they have past on... This was good Duane. Thank you for sharing.
Great video sir. As a 36 year old father of two, I've always been a rock, the rock, ways will be, but your videos truly are a great little guide to help keep these hands strong and keep safe and shelter the things that I love, be a great man for the world and teach my son to be an even greater man.
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. I’ve enjoyed all of them. This one however. Is by far the most powerful and encouraging one yet. Thank you so so much. James. Australia
Your words moved me to tears, thanks for this message, Just listened after working the graveyard shift at 711, staying with my grandma after a divorce that took the little I had, if I go down I’m going down a warrior, thanks for the reminder
I could absolutely fill this comment box with the shit Ive been through and seen in my 52 years. Ive commercial fished offshore, Ive ranched, Ive farmed, ive broke horses, Ive been a commercial diver and always a carpenter/builder/ wood worker growing up on a farm around the ocean working in boat building shops and on and on. Dwayne youre bang on with head into it with grit and know when to pull back a bit when you reach the peak of that wave as all waves peak. A good sailor didnt become a good sailor by sailing in calm waters their whole life. All me just need to be strong right now, Never say woah in a mudhole boys, grab another gear and get at it.
I don't think that I'm alone in sayin' and feelin' that there's just somethin' about who you are that the spirit bears witness with... somethin' 'bout real, and calm as a cuke, and peace, and kind loving wisdom. No-matter the topic, there's just something about your videos that compels a person to, not only ask themselves questions, but to, take the time to answer them... Honestly. Your calm demeanor digs in to the soul. It's extremely healing. I've been told that God works in mysterious ways, and that His timing is perfect, and while I don't know you personally, your videos lead me to believe that that's true.
Something I think of daily were words I saw scribbled on a whiteboard hanging in a barn: "If you can be anything, be kind." To others and ourselves, right? Changing the world one act at a time could be profound if we all lived by that thought.
You Sir, are doing god's work!! Prior to starting your channel, I'm sure you didn't think it would be saving lives (and you are). You are definitely on the right road.
This is making me cry so much. I'd think that with the cards I was dealt, I would be able to succeed in life. Be someone that is more productive and respected, but that just isn't the case. Life is a map that you can't figure out. You may think you're in Oklahoma, when you're really in Missisippi. Lately, I've just been stuck. Think the wall that this man had talked about has finally approached me at 27. Making me think about where I'm going. Is my boat able to overcome the waves that are brewing. Can I become someone that is valuable to not only others, but myself? Truth be told, I've never valued myself. And this man has helped me realize that I need to value my own boat instead of looking at everyone elses. We are all different individuals. So thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Your words have inspired hope, resilience, and the strength to pay my dues and keep moving forward, learning from the mistakes and applying that knowledge to the future. I sincerely wish a happy life for you, You're just what the world needs, but doesn't know yet.
I wish you had a podcast on Spotify. I love listening to your self help advice . I'd love to be able to listen to these while I'm on the go . Life is so busy , I hardly have time to watch RU-vid these days . Either way great content.
One of your best talks. Although I was blessed with a great mom, I grew up without a father figure. There have been many times where I've needed a father's advice. I'm very glad that I found your channel. It definitely is of great help for people like myself.
Thank you for this. It means a lot that you take the time to help people like me someone you don't know and say you can make it in this life. Thank you once again for taking the time. It's appreciated.
You have a great way of telling stories and passing down some wisdom. I’ve grew up and a stable household and never had any “bad” struggles growing up but I feel like I missed this portion in my life of learning what it is to be a man. No, hate to my dad but he is just a really introverted person and never taught me these things. I appreciate your content and helping young men as my self learn and to grow.
6 months sober. I would say that a lot of people need to look at their vices. Mine was alcohol and cigarettes, and I’ve dabbled in drugs, smoked weed for years, but alcohol was my main thing. My life is quite literally 100 times better now I’m sober. And I truly never thought I could do what I’ve done. Now I know that not everyone has a problem with vices etc. But a fair few people have, my message is to them I guess. Working out has also helped. I’m 33, and I guess it was just my time to grow up and be an adult. I’ve got a lot of ways to go, but I’m trying to change things. Big respect to everyone going through some shit. I didn’t realise that life was gonna be this hard when I was younger. But life really is hard as fuck for most people. Big respect to my fellow man!
Great video - awesome talk. Several of my kids and grandkids need this. I sent it to them. We live in Wyoming. If you come to Wyoming and have a “Meet and Greet” I’d love to meet you all and shake your hand! God’s blessings on you and yours in Jesus’s name!
Thank you ten fold Dewayne. Your words really hit home for me, I have been having a hard time for a while now. After just discovering your channel and messages especially this one it has rekindled a fire in me. I know I’m young at 20 with so much more life to live, but for me and my little experiences these storms feel an eternity. Regardless I’ll heed you and steer into the waves.
