I accept who I am and I am okay not being like everyone else. I am an artist, poet, and philosophical thinker. I have ran away from myself for far too long. This is the pep talk I needed. Time to setup an art gallery and put together a book of poems. Thank you friend.
OMG he is talking about me! (being a creative genius) Great speach my friend! Very inspiring! More than a great speech actually, you have put into words many of my own thoughts.
Crazy how this is exactly what I've been feeling for the past few decades and just yesterday finally decided to start making a list of real world problems I can solve with my creativity and also just uploaded my very first video on youtube at 50 on my actual birthday lol, great content, subscribed!!
Since I can't go back in time and show this video to my 17 year old self, instead I'll say if you happen to be that age, take this seriously. Well, if you happen to be any age, take it seriously. I'm still grateful that I have seen it even at the age that I am. Dries always gets me pumped up!
Your proposition of Amor Fati reminds me of what I took out of theosophy, that our fate unravels our true self and teaches us what we came here to learn. And as far as I understand, in combination with some other readings written by a medium, we know our fate before we are born, we get to see it all before we are born, so we chose this life exactly like it is. And thus, all of the obstaces as I see it, were chosen by me because they are necessary for my own development. Now, I only have to trust the process. That is how I go through life ridden with diseases (obsessive compulsive hoarding, schitzophrenia, preeclampsia, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and finally essential thrombocytosis which is a blood cancer), I´m still alive and am thriving because I accepted my faith. It´s not an obstacle, it´s my journey. The hero´s journey...
Wow! Just what I needed to hear after a day out in "normie-world"... was feeling that hatred, frustration and loss of hope ... then I watch this video and my soul is refreshed! Thank you, Dries. You get it completely.
@@driesketels oh I did. Probably not a genius but being a wacko indeed, who got used to not being understood, even though I had slayed several dragons already. So, Nietzsche and you made me understand I could even enjoy this ride. You have a good point there!
This intro was hilarious to me because I was so nieve before; To think we all wanted the same things. It’s been ten years and now everything you’ve said resonated 🎉❤
This was a good reassurance. I am making a video game and really struggle with needing time away from my project be at a job, being surrounded by people who just see me as someone distant and uninterested. It almost becomes harder when you have a few peers who do see your vision, since you know a break can come, its only a matter of time and when
Another great video with crazy hair. I would love to do that with mine but I would look like the older Queen Charlotte. 😮 I never gave up on my dreams. I still have them and they are amazing and I light up when others tell me about theirs. People come to me when they need something incredible to happen and their usual friends can do no more than offer thoughts and prayers. However, no one wants to take my advice in advance. I’m 58 and most of my friends and family have died off, literally, from being normal, average, mediocre, compliant, giving in. I have 50 more years and want to see what happens to this world. Maybe I can make difference with what I have to offer, maybe not. Nope, I won’t give up, and I’m not letting anyone suck me into their plain, boring existence. I’m learning to play the guitar ambidextrously, and pursuing creating art trying out all mediums. It’s a blast!
Imma echo the same thing as others in the comments here, but FUUUU THIS IS SO REAL. And I stumble upon it at a time of my deepest hell ever, where no reason or philosophy any longer makes sense, with me finally giving into art as redemption, risking it all when nothing else was left at 32 - all mainstream success lost, and nothing and no one to get me through all the judgement and pain! This was refreshing and essential to hear. Thank you! Imma carry on. ❤️🔥
4:24 - this is what I watch these videos for. Outrageous bro!!! I go into some deep meditative states and they are mindblowers, but I know, I'll never share the experience with someone because I can't even describe it for myself. Love your videos, don't stop. EVER.
Thank you Dries for your charismatic story-telling, wisdom, and humor! I really appreciate your genius and glad you are sharing it with the world- keep shining!!!!!!
Jessica loves jockstraps over brush strokes... give thanks to God that she didn't choose you! I just turned 60 a few days ago... and my personal script has dictated that page 60 - not 50 (for script writers) - is where my great pivot occurs. Love your story... embrace your life and life will have your back bigger than John Wick... yes, even bigger than Bogart in Casablanca.
This is so great! Inspired! This loving you fate reminds me of Jesus accepting the most cruel death as a sacrfice to achieve His goal to open up Heaven for us. He stayed focused on His Father and never wandered from the path. And His was sacrifice and love and fate. They go together,
In a world of normies and wackos…I proudly associate with the latter and find a lot of satisfaction in this video! Freaking love you, your energy, and your hair. Cheers!
I made something l couldn't 'place'. Is this a new line? A new path? The word sacrifice keeps coming back. And why Bob Marley, why on a goat skin? For me pure logic. But who 'in the world' would understand. A ton of misconceptions, confusion l dread. But his dreads, to me are Naturality. The path that he consciously chose. For the liberation of his people. ..boy, just now, l was reading: God will make my wilderness like Eden. What a promise! We carry our past around with us, yes we were hurt. All of us. But can we step out and choose the freedom offered here? The freedom that took a sacrifice, larger than life.. so yes, sacrifice is a ligit theme. I close my Bible and the first screen l see is your video. I take it as an affirmation. And now l also feel 'connected'. Maybe for the first time, as an artist with my artist tribe. Thank you, you are greatly loved!
@@indie_kot write it anyway. English is my first language. And I don’t speak any other language even after trying to learn. But you know what? When it’s time, the right person will come. To support you. They can edit and help you with the language. JUST WRITE IT! And never stop
