chasing my dreams for 367 days 

"It might not work" - has 2 meanings: 1. prepare to be disappointed so that you can give up, or, 2. prepare to keep going till it works

20% fam really showing up in the comments.

I wanted to share something quick - the first sentence "a year has come and a year has gone" was something I really leaned into. I feel like the idea of chasing our dreams usually is dependent on if people enjoy whatever it is we do - we usually give them the power to define if we were successful - for me , it was do this thing for one year - one year just go for it all out - and I really encourage you, no matter what just go for that thing for one year

20%! One year from now I want to have a great collection of videos to look back on. Your videos made me take a break on my career and pursue RU-vid. I’m feeling inspired again and writing 5 scripts simultaneously. Thanks for all your hard work and openess! You’ve changed my life. Also bought a brick and that’s been giving me my time back to focus on IRL activities. ❤ Much respect and keep going! The world needs your voice. 🎉

20% family! Keep after your dream Andrew, I'm super glad I found your channel!

Finding your RU-vid channel was one of the best things that have happened to me this year! You are an incredible inspiration. Worrying what other people think of me; my successes, my failures, has completely hindered me from starting creative projects & expressing my thoughts & sharing who I am. Thank you for sparking the courage in me again. Committing to a year of following my dreams ❤

What you said about appreciating how far you've come instead of focussing on the carrot dangling hit so hard. I feel like we all forget this, and even though right now I personally don't know what my dreams are for the next year I just know that this video has inspired me to keep getting up everyday and loving every aspect of life that I get to enjoy. Keep up the good work, your videos are elite

This hit me so hard. Right words at the right time. Thank you so much for being so open and sharing this video. It takes a lot of courage to open up the way you did, and that courage made this video one of my favorites. 20% here

Super refreshing perspective, I love it! Well done mate, you’re doing amazing.

20% - the Dream Team! To be honest, in 1 year from now i want to do what you are doing now, content wise. The mix of filmmaking and storytelling in a self-improvement, reflection type way is just the perfect middleground in my life right now. I always struggle with motivation or self-sabotage, be it procrastination or saying „i need this for that“, but still there is this voice and hope in me that just knows that it´s gonna work out. Sometimes it just does require a lot of hard work and i´ve never done that for myself - which is about to change. Thanks for your videos, your thoughts, your perspective, your voice - you matter and inspire so many out there to pursue their own dreams. Never stop creating and always trust the process! See you in 1 Year ⭐

20% - congrats on 1 yr! Way to persevere. Very valuable advice to detach from the extrinsic motivation and focus on intrinsic motivation. Thx for your vulnerability and authenticity.

I recently got your vids recommended, this really struck something. So many things happened since I started to follow this road. Since graduating half a year ago and starting an agency things haven’t been easier, running out of savings and in need of some income.. Been hunting for a part-time job for months now. Anyway, our first post goes online this weekend and I’m looking forward to building something I have control over, as you said. Purpose has gotten me so far, and I’m sure it can take me further. Videos like these really feel like resting points along the journey, thank you. I dropped a sub, can’t wait to see what’s next. Keep up the good work. Godspeed!

Just watched two of your videos mate. Really enjoyed them, thanks for the input and the good vibes! Just about to start my own channel, finally after years of hesitation... Thanks mate for the inspiration, take care and keep going.

Appreciate your insight and being so open about your experience without sugar coating it. Agree with your perspective reflecting back instead of always forward, something we often forget to do

Dude loving your every single video with filmmaking or great tips thanks for doing. keep going!

I love the videos you make so much that I often find myself longing to do what you do here so beautifully. But I see how much of a discredit that is to your work, and it is why I will likely only ever have the pleasure of appreciating this art form from the outside. Because there is a truly soul consuming attention to detail and devotion that goes into making any art that is worth admiration. It is so easy to arrogantly diminish the effort of your results, and simply want to switch lanes in the ignorance of all the obstacles your art has to offer in exchange for the obstacles I know to exist within my own. So thank you for showing me time and time again the results of hard work, these reminders may very likely be the only thing that will keep me from straying the path of my craft long enough to see it's fruition. Congratulations on another fruitful labour, I look forward to what you do next.

My dream is to continue growing as an online movement therapist, moving to Canada to settle down and enjoying a simple life with friends, loving by the ocean, going to farmer’s markets and café’s and just enjoying the simplicity of life.

The inferiority complex to superiority complex to inferiority complex pipeline really be like that. Also, "focus on the inputs and the outputs take care of themselves" is a great revelation to have. Banger video, cinematography going crazy

Love your videos. I always get so inspired and motivated and also reflect on my journey so thank you ❤

20% - This is just what I needed to hear right now, I’m about to make a big jump to follow a dream I’ve had for years. Thank you for this message :) Keep going

20%here! Thank u so much u told the reality which was much needed at this point..from 1 year now i hope i stick to the plan of posting RU-vid videos for 1 year document my life to the fullest

I’m part of the 20% family! In one year I want to have 1 year of discipline and consistency showing up for my self and dreams, making youtube videos is one, I love your content, it’s so inspiring and it just makes me want to do it more❤

20% ! It's amazing to see how far you've come. Started watching from less than 500 subs. Congrats and take care.

Excellent in every way! Thank you for the inspiration and honesty. I just turned 64 and am starting a second career. You are solid proof that we have much to learn at any age. I already knew that, or at least hope I knew it. Your video drove it home. Thank you!

really grateful for your content. loving it! thx man!

Great video once again! Good job and good luck with your journey!

I just wanted to say thank you - this was the perfect video that I needed. I've had a good of starting a design agency and just haven't felt the confidence in doing in at all - feel like a fraud but it's a passion of mine. this is a reminder that it's never too late and with the state of the world no better time than the present.

This really spoke to me! I really love all the work you put into this video! The dedication shows! One year from now I hope I’m selling my pottery but I struggle to practice atm. I’ll change that!

So good bro! Encouraged and inspired. A year from now I’d love to see cafe up and running

Really Inspiring. Your transparency is empowering. You are spreading hope! Thank you!

Amazing video man! Related to a lot of what you said with the RU-vid journey. Excited to have found your channel 👏🏼

20% family here to learn a lot about getting things working, sometimes how to start is the problem. But watching this video has given me something to get going. Thank you for sharing.

I’ve loved getting to see your process Andrew! Thank you for being transparent and out the ups and downs. I’m starting a year of RU-vid and am hoping to be consistent July to July! Encouraging to see your work.

This video came at the perfect time. I just left a career after 25 years and have been inspired by your videos and words to try YT or at the very least document what the next chapter looks like wherever that may lead me. Thank you for your videos!

I'm part of the 20% family. Love your videos man! I started RU-vid at the start of the year then stopped after the first 2 videos, convinced I didn't have the right gear or knowledge to make good videos but I have kept learning over the last 5 months and feel I have improved in many ways plus have some better gear now too. You've inspired me to start my year afresh, properly this time to post consistently for a year.

Marvelous video, great inspiration. Thanks for this great moment, I hope for you and all of us the best for the next year ! 20% is a great number, but the pleasure of watching your work is 100 :P Cheers mate !

Fantastic video!! Keep it up, love your commentary and introspection

I found your video at a good moment… I started that journey a few months ago and had so many negative thoughts about giving it up. But I keep strong and focused, thank you for the message

20% here! Beautiful story and video, thank you for sharing!

Hi Andrew! I just wanted to thank you for giving me the motivation to start my own RU-vid channel and begin traveling the world. Your videos have been such an inspiration!

20% fam! After so many years on RU-vid, I finally decided to start my channel. I found your channel recently and I've been binge-watching your videos. I just wanted to say that this content really resonates with me. It's validating to see someone address the same feelings I have now, and I'm also incredibly inspired by your progress in such a short time. Keep up the good work!

i have to thank to you, i am glad i found your channel, your videos are really motivational and i really felt connected thank you and wish you all the best, keep going

Hoping the 20% family will grow bigger. I want to do what makes me happy rather than waiting until i feel like I’m able to and end up doing nothing. I want to look back and see everything i have to show. Great or not i want there to be something from me to be happy about and see progress among those things art, graphic design, videos or just in myself. ✌️&💖

Your videos are like taking medications for me. You are saving lives. Thank you. keep going.

I’m 20% always waiting for yr new videos. I appreciate all yr work.

20%, love your stuff! Thanks for sharing :)

20% You should be proud of yourself. You’ve produced amazing content that I enjoy, truly. Keep it coming. It’s inspiring to see as someone just starting out on RU-vid. 💙

thank you for being so vulnerable you really inspiring! 20% fam

20% here! and all I can hope for in a year is to be well, lose my fear and start with all the projects I want, I'm coming out of a bournout and it's been difficult, but I still have a lot to experience and a lot of art to spread around the world. Thanks, your videos realy help me a lot

20% Fam let's gooooo! Great stuff mate, keep going, you're doing great and sharing great stuff!

20%! In a years time, I hope to be out of this creative rut I've been in and finally create the short film I've been developing over the last 5 years. Keep up the good work man! Love your videos!

The video I needed! So inspiring and got some fresh perspectives on how to see my journey as an artist. Also it's incredible how you started one year ago and have 60 THOUSAND subscribers! And one of your videos is almost at 1 million views! Congrats!

20%! It’s fun watching you grow. RU-vid pushed your video to me, I am happy about that! You’re headed up and up! Great title, great video, great job 👏🏼

20% - thank you for such inspiring, grounded content ❤ your video and thoughts are truly uplifting

I am a part of the 20% who reached the end. I have some big dreams, but if I had to think within the context of a year I'd certainly want to be in a much more healthier state, both mentally AND physically. That mean finally putting in the good work to start losing some weight and body fat. I'd also like to start exploring my passions for real this time and not leaving them dry out as untouched ideas. That means signing up to drama/film clubs, getting a camera and starting to create some projects I and some friends have had in mind. Slowly picking up drawing again. Now, I am writing all this as the thoughts are coming out one after the other unfiltered, and I realise that this is a plentiful list. I have to concentrate on one, so I can in the future move on to the next. A new day has come, and I'm slowly getting there.

20% here too. Happy to have found you; i truly enjoy your perspective and clear thinking. In a year, I plan to have attempted to run a small business on the weekends, in hopes of turning it into my day job. My goal in that period is to pay for the equipment with profits. We'll see where life takes us!

That was STRONG!!! Thank you for your time and effort to put this together!

Brother ur editing is another level love it 💕

Im inspired by this. As a Photographer I feel today's world is moving so fast that people only want to consume photos through video/ IG reels form. Getting comfortable in front of the camera is a whole skill and something after seeing this I'm going to give a shot. Im also located in Santa Barbara if you ever need an extra hand I would love to work with you someday

20% ...man this is some next level bar you've raised. always been an inspiration. keep growing

Very cool video! Thanks for making!❤Sending good vibes from Norway!

I recently found your videos and they have been very inspiring. I know art is not always the most reliable path to take in a career, but its what I truly want to do it and these videos really help knowing that others have taken a career in creative path and seen them happy, and succeed really makes me believe that I can do it. And thank you.

Man, your Videos really make me wanna do more creative stuff and being a kid again. Thank you very much, keep on going ❤

This video is super inspirational! I can relate to this a lot! Thanks!

20% is here ! the way i’m immediately smile when i saw that new video from you came up✨

20% gang!! your videos are so inspiring i’ve been battling the fear of being seen which has been holding me back from really going for my dreams but you’re creation, rawness and authenticity is something so many creators lack and i’m so glad i’ve landed onto your channel

thank u for sharing this great experience Andrew.. keep moving forward!!

Thank you for sharing the reality of how things are! Dang so happy to hear this message and how incredibly refreshing to listen to. One year of now I want to be happy with who I am

This is one of the best, honest and super smart channels on RU-vid. I genuinely enjoy watching your videos.

Hey Andrew! Incredible video! You’re inspirational for me, i started to make videos of my travels, and actually stay travelling in New zealand, and im getting adventage of this landscapes and amazing views to male a documentary like this. Thanks again for your inspiration.

Thank you for this amazing work 🙏🏾🙌🏾

you're so inspiring man, really well done on your journey

20%! I've been following your videos for awhile, and I absolutely love them. A few have definitely brought me to tears. Lately, I've really been struggling to find the WHY and defining my dreams. I have a moderately successful life & career. But the last 5 years seemed to have completely supplanted whatever WHY I may have had earlier in life with pretty large hole. I don't currently know what my dream is. However, my current plan is to buy a house and be moved in and living outside of the city by this time next year. At the end of that plan, I'll be closer to family, less distracted by some of the minutia of life (hopefully), and have achieved the goal of owning a home. I'm hopeful that this transition will put me a place to truly find my WHY. So, all that said, next year when you post a follow up video to this one, 🤞I'll be able to say how much I love my new life and post my goals/plans/dreams for the following year. Thank you, and keep up the fantastic work!

20%fam! Thank you for creating colors that show the beautiful world in such vibrancy. Love!

Thank you back man! glad I found your channel!✨

20%er...I truly appreciate your authenticity and I can tell anyone in your circle is lucky to call you a friend. 1 year goal..wow..you think you know what you want until someone asks you that question. I'd say besides going full-time on RU-vid, I just want to get better each day at my craft. I mention this often, but I've been on YT for 10+ years, built a large channel and left that in the past. My interests and direction changed, so I'm essentially starting this journey all over again which can be scary at times. However, its never a loss because the skills we learn along the way cannot be taken from us. I say all that to say, I'm happy people like yourself never gave up cause the content you create impacts people. I'm truly happy you are finding success and doing what you enjoy..just know that documenting your journey is helping people with their own. ~ Gabriel

always a 20%. i didnt think i would find someone so relatable and inspiring, your videos always come when i needed to hear them ty

20%- Thank you so much for being honest and making this video. I have been struggling and realised I've been low-key self-sabotaging myself from achieving my dreams as I have been scared to put in my 100% in case I fail, as I'm tired of letting others control what happens to me (my dream is get a job at a prestigous firm as I've graduated with an MBA earlier this year, which was a miracle to achieve in of itself). But watching this video and hearing what your dad said has helped me put things in perspectve- I can't control what other people think or choose, but I can control how I act and move forward. So, thank you again and I hope to see you continuing to film a year or 10 years from now. -Eddie

I am the 20% 🎉 and that’s down to you. Today I sat here uninspired, blocked as I need to Crete a travel video for my page. Now I feel inspire to be myself. To maybe share these blocks and to keep it real and authentic. THANK YOU for being a beacon of light on a dark day. You are appreciated and so glad I found your channel. Pleeeeease dont stoop creating these videos ❤

I'm one of the 20% too! I am very touched watching your video. I know that you're putting all your energy. This youtube needs all your time and efforts. Yeah, it's so much hard works but, I learned from you that we can learn from this hard work, to be a great human...? 😅 A great person, who can take care of people around them, who can manage ones time, and knowing what is really important in life. Big hug and love from South Korea, and I will watch your 1 year after video as well. Thanks for the video!

You’re so underrated man! I’m 19 and I’m so inspired by your story! Keep it up man!

"All I can see is forward and what I don't have." That hit home. I have a similar experience. Plus the other uncontrollable challenges of life, to pursue my dream becomes taxing. But when I think about it, a good percentage of it is from my mind. And even the percentages left can be influenced by my mind. So yeah thank you for this video! It put things into perspective and reminded me of what's important. I've been thinking about this topic for the past 4 days. So this video really came in clutch. lol (20% fam) 1 year from now I hope I'm alive and have published 100+ newsletter issues and posted at least 100 videos on RU-vid (no matter the quality of the audio). And also just enjoy the joy of creating and let go of things like validation from other people and monetary validation. Keep up the good work, mate! It's been wonderful watching your work.

20% Fam! ❤ Love to you and your beautiful emotional work! What a ride. Thank you for doing this and keep going in that way. I want for myself a year from now, that i am myself. Coping with anxiety, be wild and filled with laughter and love for me, my daughter and my family ❤ feel hugged andrew!

Love you man! This is something that i needed 20%

20% fam is here to support you! Keep doing what you're doing!

20% - I just stumbled across your channel, and was hooked from the first video on. I love the calm mood in your videos. A year from now I want to be able to look back at the present day and see the journey I've made. Because of you, I want to start doing videos, not necessarily for RU-vid, but for my friends and me, of the stuff we do (did) together. I want to start documenting my life, and found the inspiration here :)

Love this video, feeling super inspired to start a RU-vid channel and start my graphic novel because of this!

20%. This was so inspiring. Thank you!

20% babyyyy - another great vid. Keep it up!

I’m 9 months into doing the same thing. I love seeing other people share their experience. Love this!!!

I really like your style of editing, illuminating, reflecting and sharing thoughts. Keep up the good work! Hello from France.

20% ! Your cinematic videos inspire me to create . In a year from now I want to be overall in a better shape , mentally and physically. I am picking up creating content and with intent of being there and putting myself out every week , I want to create stories & share my experiences

I think this is the second or third video I saw of yours and I loved them all. They make me feel good and enough and seen. Thank you for that! In one year from now I want to also have made it to a place where I can monetize on RU-vid. It is a goal I don't have full control over, like you said, but for now I'm planning to upload one or two videos per week and be as authentic as possible. I want it to be something I really want to make, rather than ONLY doing it to get views etc. And that goal is part of my greater vision to have space to rescue more animals and share my vision and my life with the world. Thank you Andrew!

20% family!!! Big love from New Zealand! I hope to one day be a RU-vidr also . I am constantly inspired by your videos

20% ive been working on my self lately, u just inspired me to do the 365 days thingy and a lots of things in the past, i really appreciate what youre doing

EVERY SINGLE TIME i watch your videos i always sob because you always know what to say and know what im also feeling and articulate them so well, its so refreshing and always a release that i needed!. you're sooo right about us trying to accomplish something just to get the validation from others and being accepted when it should come from within and just being proud that we're trying

Keep doing you man! I love your videos, they are so so artistic. How did you learn your composition and shooting skills? 20% gang!

Love the video! Thanks 😊

20%! Thanks for your beautiful work, it's not only motivating, but also keeps me grounded and to know what you feel and seeing the process behind is very helpful, and gives me a hope to be sure that is the way of creator. Keep creating! I wish you a lot of energy to keep doing what you want! In 1 year I dream to be a visual storytelling creator!

this was definetly my sign to start with YT!!! Love your work!
