I avoided being my true self.. until I made this change 

“If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be.” Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation."

"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why." - Mark Twain

For me a part of accepting myself was accepting that my personality has more of a bit shy/laid back vibe and thats totally ok. I think being loud and the center of attention has become such a "goal" in our society that we are forgetting that differences in personalities are a real thing. We dont all need to "work" on becoming more extroverted, as long as your silent personality is because you are genuinly just like that, and not because you feel insecure about yourself/feel nervous about speaking up, then that is ok.

Going through all your videos right now saying “thank you”. Truly you are a breathe of fresh air on youtube. Thank you 🙏🏽

When it comes to self love , you can't love yourself half way.. thank you for presence 😌🍵

"If you supres your truth, don't get offended when life supreses you" wow

What’s crazy is the times that we let our guard down and started being ourselves , society makes us feel weird or bad for it… so we crawl back into a shell and start blending in again. Be weird. Be awkward. As long as it’s genuine and you radiate good energy… be… it.

I decide to accept my TRUTH. I decide to love Myself. I decide to accept myself.

Be yourself. “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

His hand movements are so visually pleasing

8:18 "It's like you're serving two masters, this way for jah and this way for babylon" that was SO powerful

I cried throughout this whole video. Self love is truly a process. I walked away from social media years ago to listen to my inner voice. But sometimes my social anxiety can still take over sometimes especially in corporate America. I want to be my authentic self 100% of the time and this video has inspired me to do so! I love you and wish you many blessings

“Being at ease with not knowing is crucial for answers to come to you.” Eckhart Tolle

I've never been offered tea while watching a youtube video, this is a vibe I've been tryna catch

"When you love yourself you can't do it halfway" love this statement

"I want to look like how god intended me to be"..... I had to meditate on that one.

“Truth is expressed in the incremental moments of our day” YEEESSSSSS

Can’t wait to finally get my own place so that I can actually hear the sound of my tea being poured

This is my first comment ever on youtube. I struggled a lot with insecurities and being myself or even knowing my true self. I´ve always thought i have to be that chameleon to get accepted by everyone. I just wanted to fit in and did things other´s expected me to do. Never what i wanted to do. Watching this video lighted something inside me i´ve never felt before. Unknown sounds i´ve never listened to. I´ve never even tried to. I was afraid to. Just watching your video confronted me with my cravings and desires on who i want to be and how i want to live. i´ve always neglected this thoughtprocess for my entire life, cause i thought i can´t change who i am, but thats wrong. i just want to say " thank you!" for lighting up my light. thank you for offering me that cup of tea. Sry for my english, this isnt my native language.

“If you suppress yourself, don’t be surprised if the world suppresses you.” That’s so powerful Hindz!

The pandemic has made me feel really lonely lately since some of my friends are all busy, hearing we're all friends here in this channel is very comforting :)

I’m dealing with addiction and hearing this really made me cry because this isn’t me it’s never been me. I’ve never in life been able to live my truth I felt like I had an awakening but I’m still like you said, holding on to things that WILL NOT serve the higher self I want to become. This video gave me hope.

“We know what we should do, but still we make excuses”. Wow. I needed to hear that today.

Had my hair straightened for years. But at the start of my spiritual journey I shaved it all off and now have a full afro for the first time in years

“I see you. I see who you are and I FULLY accept you.” That part ✨

“I was trying to be accepted by the world to be able to accept myself.” That hit so hard 🤍🤍🤍

You saying “ya understand” is now one of my favorite sounds

Love yourself enough to set boundaries. Your time and energy are precious. You get to choose how you use it. You teach people how to treat you by deciding what you will accept and won’t accept.

Thank you for saying that we’re friends 🥲 I teared up because I genuinely want friends like you. I don’t feel like anyone in my life truly sees me. Anyway, thank you for your light ❤️

“It’s a process” . I can’t wait till my time amen

This channel is soo calming people are even "beefing" respectfully 😂

I was just talking to my mother about looking like my true self last night. When you are disciplined it shows. Drinking a gallon of water a day and eating 3 whole food plant meals brings out so much beauty in self. Truly. I must return to water. It's the secret untold.

My 5 year old son has long hair. I am letting him live his truth. He LOVES his hair and has no desire for it to be short. We definitely get criticism from the outside world ALL the time, but I don't let it stop him from being his true self!💙

after i started binge watching your videos, this video kept getting recommended to me.... i don't know why avoided it, it scared me i guess.... but i finally watched it and man, i see why i avoided it, you highlighted something i've been avoiding for years... still tryna understand it myself but i'm on the journey of accepting myself, i'll get there i promise!

6 months loc’d after cutting my hair and it’s free form, right now my hair sticks straight out but I love it and I’m embody the term “just be” I don’t even think twice about what people think about my look . It’s such an empowering journey . I went from weaves, totally fitting in Babylon, to locs. Embracing my natural hair just how it is . Thank you for this video. ✨💜

“If your suppress the truth, don’t be upset if life suppresses you”.... felt that all the way within

"It was as if you are serving two masters" That pierced my soul.

"I see who you are, and I fully accept you."

Thank you Hindz! I graduated with a math degree but never felt happy when I was in the university "studying" all those stuff... to be honest I don't care what theorems or researches are waiting for me to figure out I just don't care and I feel that even though I could make progress in that field, it doesn't matter to my own life and self values. Now I've made a decision to be a film director and make great films during my life time. I love that way of expressing myself through beautiful stories and moving images and people expressing ideas for me in front of the world!

I drink more tea since I discovered you lol

I'm a 16 year old girl and your words are blessing us!!

Serving two masters. This is my discovery right now. I’ve been seeing that in my life and was slowing making that journey to showing my true self. I also grew up bi-racial, feeling disconnected from my father’s Mexican culture and later shutting myself off from my mother’s dysfunctional Caucasian family. I too wanted to blend in and not stand out and so I learned how to hide much of myself in the process. I’ve been straightening my hair for eight years feeling resentment to my natural hair. Sounds harsh and while I felt I’ve advanced spiritually over the years, I this was something I struggled with-accepting this part of my true self. HAIR. It’s so powerful, it has so much meaning. This hair, these curls came from my mother’s side, a deeply wounded, elders with PTSD, drug, alcohol, physical, mental, sexual and emotional abuse history spanning generations. I’ve been discovering that these curls connected me to that linage and I didn’t feel comfortable facing it. A trip to Mexico, on a small island, detached from internet connection helped me reconnect with a part of myself that I hid for my corporate career. I learned as a child how to suppress myself and exist as a chameleon in the world and waking up to the fact that I was still doing this, suppressing my history, my true self and who knows what else-it was profound and I can feel shifts happening in embracing more of my true self. Through the power of RU-vid and sending out the intention to receive the message I need-I found this video and your channel. This was the message my heart needed. Thank you 🙏🏽

I so appreciate you and sharing with us your journey. It helps me to validate myself as myself. I am 60 and just now shedding all the programming from my past and yearning for full acceptance of myself by myself. I’m in the process. My first step started 10 years ago with cutting off all the color of my hair and going grey. I love it and I feel free!! I have had to learn not to care of what others think about my outer appearance. I accept my natural look.

A man who loves himself takes the first step towards real love🙏

“We all have the ability to come from NOTHING to SOMETHING!” ✨

Geez, I grew up with a narcissistic, demanding, controlling, and societal driven mother. I really truly just always wanted to be myself & I’m just getting into being bold within my truth. The truth does have to be ingrained. I didn’t feel beautiful all my life & I always felt like I had to cater to others & always be available. I suffered tremendously. I now show up for myself & it’s been an amazing journey towards self discovery, self trust, less self-deprecating behavior, & self love. I’ve been training my mind to not focus on what I don’t love about my physical, but appreciating what I do love. I’ve been training my mind to not ruminate over my mistakes absent of solutions but to realize how far I’ve come & how I prayed to be where I am today & that the things I can change will be changed. I trust myself. I love myself.

For me, the old part of myself that I keep holding on to, even though I want to evolve, is unhealthy eating habits, processed food for every meal. I've done clean eating before and I felt the amazing difference, feeling lighter, almost like skipping; the energy; the expression of gratitude. I want to let go of this poor habit - I've been keeping myself in a lower vibration.

Currently on a date with myself at a cafe listening to this and trying to hold on my tears. This is so deep! Thank you Hindz 💕

Who we truly are will naturally blossom as we just get more comfortable being. Not trying, not striving, not hiding, just being, effortlessly.

Just shed a few tears off this. “Serving two masters”. Sometimes it’s a fight to stand fully within yourself and shut out the opinions of others or the need to please and fit within someone else’s standards only feel like you have a friend but whats more important is that your a friend to yourself first. That fight isn’t easy but when you know fully know who you are meant to be then it makes following the path a little less difficult to navigate.

Oh my goodness when you said you looked in the mirror and said "i see you", that hit me. I just started my journey on trying to accept and love myself for who i am. I'm glad RU-vid have your video as a suggestion.

As a closeted member of the lgbtq+ community, your videos speak volumes to me. If you only knew the immense impact you have on people like me. Forever grateful for all of your words.

I’m 68 years on this earth. I realize u speaking truth. Need to work on accepting myself. Thanks 👍🏼🙏✝️👩🏼‍🦳

i accidentally clicked on this video and once it started i couldn’t stop watching. such a beautiful message, thank you

This video is the best thing I’ve seen this year. Entire thing felt like a hug, thanks Hindz.

I’ve been in bed for the past 6 days extremely depressed and I’ve been so unsure about who i am. This video was so refreshing to watch and I’m so excited to start listening to your podcasts during my walks. Keep up the authenticity and what you are doing - love from Vancouver BC

It amazes me how the universe aligns itself. I've been having an identity crisis and struggling on how to self love. I was just telling my sister today I'm not being my true self then this video was on my timeline! Thank you Hindz! 🙏🏾👑

Bruh this vibe is pure! I’m so happy for you cause I first found your channel years ago and somehow I haven’t seen your videos in years but now you got over 300k subs! Not that it’s about the numbers but its great to see so many people vibing with a person like you! Blessings! Jah ❤️

Respect the growth man . Much love and light🙏

"You can't love yourself halfway" damn

"You'll never find peace of mind until your listen to your true/higher self"

This popped on my recommendations the exact perfect day I needed to hear something like this. 2 months after upload. Thank you🙏🏼

Bro this is the chill-est dude Ive seen on RU-vid. Good shit, I'm subbed now

Why did you making a cup of tea make me cry lol you’re so sweet and genuine.. 🥺 glad your channel was recommended by youtube

I had an opposite experience. My mom locked my hair when I was in 6th grade because she didn't want to do my hair anymore. It was out of convenience not because I wanted it. I did like my hair some days but not really. By the time I was in 10th grade, I felt suffocated by my own hair because it wasn't styling the way I wanted and collected a lot of dust. I finally picked them out and starting doing my own natural hair that was more versatile. It felt like I dropped chains from my head. I truly believe the way you present yourself on the outside should be a reflection of how you want to feel on the inside. I feel so much better caring for my hair and sometimes I do faux locs because I learned to love locs again. I just know that I require more change and versatility to be my authentic self.

I needed to hear this. I’ve been going through this battle internally. And someone told me not too long ago. Now I realize how real it is. Thank you🙏🏾

Hindz, I am so glad I found you. Keep going, keep giving great energy. You are one-of-a-kind, and so needed in this world! Thank you for sharing so much of yourself and being a great host ;)

🙏🏾 ALL Praises To The Most High🙏🏾 I cut my Dreads a Month Ago. I was telling my self that it was because of the bleach damage and dye, which it was but deep down i didnt like how my natural self looked With My Dreads and me always scrolling through Instagram, i ended up finding myself wanting to wear the wigs and the braids so i can have that long pretty hair, i needed an excuse to wear those things so i could look pretty. I lied to myself and now I still feel empty with the wigs and braids, But now I Choose To Practice Self-love, all the way this time. Thank You🙌🏾.

I always tinted my lashes and eyebrows - cause I thought my light lashes and brows weren’t nice but I completely stopped this. Stopped wearing makeup, dying and cutting my hair - the natural me is the happy me 🙏🏼💙

Thank you for this brother 💪🏽🙏🏽

I haven’t been the same since I’ve found your channel. I’ve been so much more calm and peaceful since I’ve begun watching your videos!! Thank you!

I wonder if everyone understands how dope and genuine it is of him to make us a cup a tea like he does.

The comment sections are so special on your videos. They bring together everyone who wants to be more authentic to themselves. It's a privilege to read through it ❤🍵

Your energy man, it’s contagious! Thanks for sharing your story. ✊🏾

Glad to have seen this channel on recommend videos. Self love is full commitment and results are life changing. Much respect 🙏

GOD wanted me to find this channel.

We are so often serving two masters. In my journey to “make age 50 to 75 the best years of my life” in come across people like you and wish I had known more souls like you when I was younger. #50to75

Always love the tea my guy. I needed this video, the journey of self-acceptance is such an important one. Not living your truth can leave you paralyzed. Love the content

Dude, you’re awesome. Thanks for putting the good vibes out there! Much love to you my man. 🙏🏼

This is how I’ve felt about being spiritual in general... because I don’t wanna be grouped in with the new age movements but my connection to spirit and my interest in occult studies is a big part of who I am. I’ve always been underestimated with my intelligence and a lot of people associate spiritual people with being unintelligent because our knowledge isn’t proven by logic or science. It’s a work in progress.

I love when he says "you understand?" It's like he is catching my attention and helping me to think deeply.

Man I love your videos! The topics are hitting a core string that’s resonating thru my whole body and giving me so much clarity. Thank you!!! From my heart.. THANK YOU 🙏🏽

"You can't serve two masters". I needed to hear this. Thank you so much for your videos ❤️

I almost cried when he offered tea. 😢 🤍 I feel like humanity has become so distant and tense.

I’d say I used to suppress being the real me when I was transitioning to being a full time entrepreneur. Especially to my family, it was more respectable to work a 9-5 and have a “little side business/side hustle” than to be fully self employed. But I wasn’t happy, and the work wasn’t fulfilling. And I knew that keeping things that way I was never going to live the life that I truly enjoyed. But it’s been almost 4 months since I’ve never looked back, and things have only been lookin up for me! 😇

"Truth is a PROCESS..." Such a beautiful statement.

Incredible bro life always seems to align me with your videos at the right time I feel blessed that I’m a part of this channel, the vibes this gives me are immaculate much love x

Beyond happy I found your channel🥰 can‘t put into words what this already means to me! Wishing for everyone to see your videos, too.

I love how you pause in between your thoughts because you give me more time to reflect on my own experience. This is truly an impactful visual podcast. You have helped my mindset so much. It’s been inspiring to see your immense channel growth as well. Sending love your way 💚💗

and my absolute favorite thing you say is ...."you understand?" ...😊😊

found you today and man somethings really are right on time. This hit hard

Found your channel today and I feel like I am healing just by listening to you. Thank you so much!

Once you truly learn to love yourself the whole world around you starts to change... Thank you for opening up and being vulnerable all while serving us yet, another great gem 🤍

The energy that comes from accepting yourself is the same energy that tells the world to accept you

Thank you for being the reflection I needed to see.

This is spot on! I’m at the beginning stages of outwardly expressing who I truly am. It’s such a tug of war!!

Also a mixed person. Half Jamaican and half British... It can be difficult at times and not many can understand that! I would like to say a massive thank you Hindz, I came across you a few weeks ago when I was feeling very lost and a little lonely. I’m on a new journey to bettering my life. I started by giving up social media and quit smoking weed (day 5) bless up ♥️💛💚 One love x

I love looking like my natural self! It’s been a journey of mine since 2015. I shaved my dyed hair all off, battled with throwing away makeup and started to dress for me. I am more confident and at peace with myself. I will always be growing but it is truly beautiful just to see me in the mirror

I really needed this today. I thank you 🙏🏽 ❤️

💕💕💕 I’m sooooo grateful I found your videos. Thank you for your words and your energy 🙏🏾
