One more thing, if you’re unable to travel, take a different route home from work, change the scenery and don’t be afraid to do things by yourself. Don’t make being solo stop you from doing something different or something you love.
Yes! I wanted to kayak but am limited with life responsibilities to travel and kayak as much as I want. So I bought an inflatable (don't even have the car to transport a plastic one) cheap kayak and went to try it on river 5 mins away. I have been in heaven every weekend in summer for 2 summers! I was scared and very uncomfortable the first time. I can't believe I haven't done it in 10 years I have lived here! And also, there are days on weekends I don't see anyone for 3-4 hours on the river! Ppl have no idea of this slice of heaven in the middle of a very populated suburb of a huge city! Mind blowing. But all the ppl I told what I do said or thought I was crazy.😂
To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. ❤🧘♂
I quit my full time job where I was drinking all the time and started working 5 hours a day at a fast food place that feeds me also, I live on the river in an r.v. park and take 3 to 5 mile walks twice a day and practice archery, I'm 20 days sober been watching your videos trying to get sober for two years thanks for the inspiration
So relatable. I was working in sales the past couple years and having an entire bottle of Tito’s every single day. I nearly died. Just quit and I’m sober now. It’s a breath of fresh air. The golden handcuffs working a job you hate are never worth it.
This is so true! You have to REPROGRAM your mind and what “success” looks like to you. We are so conditioned to think success is a reflection of societal status, possessions etc. but that all means nothing if you don’t love what you are doing! Live for God’s will for your life, not man’s.
Love this! Was diagnosed with cancer in 2020 & I beat it. That changed my whole perspective & everything you said in this video is what I’m striving for. Being okay with saying that I don’t know what’s going to happen next & living anyway. Embracing the wonder & the mysteries of life instead of fighting them or stressing myself out trying to figure them out. Just living the best life I can live while hopefully adding value to the lives of those around me while I’m here. Keep bringing the inspiration Tim. It is much needed! Sending you love & light! 💛
You are so right, life is a learning experience. I heard such a profound quote the other day, " if you're not happy with your morning cup of coffee, you wont be happy on a yacht", that absolutely blew me away. A second point i'd like to make is this: people don't live by their own intuition and dreams and 'gut feeling', they go with what they think society wants from them. This is the wrong way round, we have to have the courage to live our own truth. Then we will know true happiness. Great vid, as always :)
When you said "there are no comfort zones, there's only you stopping at a certain spot" it was a AHA moment for me. I get it you simply cannot stop. Thanks man.
You don't have to listen to a long broadcast all at one time. You can listen to small parts of it at a time. It can be spread across days or weeks if you want.
Life is like a busy road in the city. Lots of people doing dangerous maneuvers and road raging around town, speeding so they can stop at the same light as the 'slow' person they passed. I always refer back to the favorite childhood story of the tortoise and the hare. The tortoise had a better adventure, and still beat the hare without stressing it.
Life is, for me, turning 60 and arriving to a place inside where I can read the bulletin board of my past and present, covered with messages of the wisdom I felt so strongly about everything tthat I wouldn't let myself accept previously in my life, requiring silence and calm to be able to finally feel.
I really needed to hear this!. Ever since I was a child. I remember thinking "what is this life for?. Why am I hear?" And have been coasting through just hoping to find this "meaning" but the truth is the meaning is to enjoy being alive & live life & enjoy every step of the journey.
“Life is like a perpetual treasure hunt.” I love this! Little treasures all along the way ✨ but too often we just stop. So true. Who wants an easy treasure hunt? I so needed to hear all of this!!
Wow, this really spoke to me. I've lived through some pretty awful abuse and the only thing I thought I had going for me is my refusal to lay down and die. It's not that I didn't feel like it but something inside me kept pushing me to get back up! Three decades on and I walked right out of that whole mess, including some years with PTSD, and life became my friend again. Thanks for putting it so succinctly Tim, love and peace to you.
Yes. Lack of choices can impede our self efficacy. I lost this when I was burned out and felt stuck. Everything you talk about circles back to this. Love your facial expressions.
This is why I enjoy your videos, Tim! You’re just the most present person on Earth, something that I have difficulty doing. I’m such an overthinker and worry too much about my future that watching you relaxes me. I admire your brain. Thank you so much.
I'm working on my debt, that's my goal for this year, but after that get into investing and traveling. I'm definitely looking at my life in a different way thanks to you Tim!
The man of wisdom!! Thanks Tim!! Very much needed but also just informative all around! It’s nice to see this perspective of things because I get caught up in the narrative of life and I need to step back and just enjoy it! And not be so focused on everything else BUT happiness. 🤟🏽
'a rich life' So I'll rule out the money side of that term......then we have a subjective term. I was chasing keeping up with the Jones, lost everything, so now 'rich' has already had two totally different effects on me. One rich I always previously wanted, is now my enemy, and my new rich in life is a life I would have never previously wanted. From taking things for granted to being very quickly humbled by reality. Things I've changed, no social media apart from YT, I hike, long dog walks, changed my career path and keep things as simple as I possible can. No more chasing.
It's not about the destination, it's the journey. The journey is really internal. You cannot defeat nature, as it is just a reflection of yourself. Sounds a lot like surfing too.
Everytime you look for a destination and it’s not like what you imagined, you just end up disappointing yourself more often than not. And not only because it may not be what you anticipated but also because life still keeps going on as it always had and always will. You end up disappointed because you didn’t enjoy the journey. So you just keep on going till you figure that out.
Tim you got a point because as long as we're alive and occupying a space we're gonna have some kind of bill or expense. So we might as well have some f**k it moments and do what we wanna do sometimes
I love this thinking and mindfulness Tim. This is deep introspective thinking on another level, exceptional. Thank you for sharing your amazing thoughts. - I love to keep moving too, I want to cram as many experiences as I can into this little lifetime 🙂 blessings to all reading and watching, blessings to Tim
OMG, I thought I would type in my own name just to see what turned up, and YOU turned up. Spooky. I even have the same middle initial and the same philosophical interests! Godspeed, my friend!
I promise I've been following Tim for a couple of years now and I almost never see his videos pop up on my feet but just here in this new stretch of life I'm in, his videos have been all over my timeline. I guess I needed this message now. Out here saving lives bro
@Tim Ward, I agree! Life is too short to worry about the things that really don't matter. Tomorrow is not promised at all, so its better to spend your life living and creating experiences rather than living a life of misery. There is this old Honda commercial...and it says, "Failure is the key to success". Some of the best advice I've followed to this date. No longer afraid to fail.
It applies to all living things. You attempt to survive. Humans think too much cause of their big noggins and egos....so we need to think too much. We are here to connect. We are all energy and meant to keep going. Clues are tapping into what you should be conscious of. I believe we are here to create and love. Some do so in a negative way and some positive. Most sway more in the middle or back and forth. Namaste.
Love this. Enjoying the hell out of those highs moments in life and knowing the lows won’t last forever is key. The best part about it is we’re not alone. We may not personally all know each other but we’re here on this planet together sharing this life experience! Great video!
Don't know how I stumbled upon this today, but the way you articulated this is very unique and resonated in a way that I've never experience before. Wishing you well in this life. Thank you!
This is a Amazing... make you think deep video. l appreciate this talk very much. I was just thinking about life and our journey here. Great timing to filling in some of my thoughts and wonders. Keep up the great work Tim.. You Rock!!🫂😏
Wow this video is so heartwarming and felt tbh. 12:55 love how you broke down that especially when ur not present moment . Living life to the fullest beyond societies illusion of expectations no consequences
Hey brother, I love the different perspectives you're providing. It helps to give context to our own respective lives and situations. Reminders are always good. The struggle keeps us alive. ...sip...
I agree with a lot of the sentiments in this video. Moreover, I think we all have the voice in the back of our head encouraging us to do what we think we should do. However, I also think it’s important to ask yourself why you want to do it. More specifically, if your internal dialogue goes something like, “I want to do this thing because everyone will be stoked on me and think I’m super awesome.” you should stop immediately because the harsh reality is that nobody else really cares. Because of our programming, the line between ego and our true desires is blurred and I have a really hard time telling the difference. That’s what I’m currently working on.
I sometimes think about what I want the masthead photo on my social media profile to be at the end of my life, so people who wanted to could look me up and see what I achieved. But then I remembered, before the internet, when you moved away you just disappeared! You didn't care about people finding you or seeing what you're doing.
Thank you for you vids.. keeping me motivated.. Slowly my smoking withdrawals are fading.. sometimes they come back up especially when I’m doing nothing.. I know I have a long road ahead since its only a week ago I quit it, but your wisdom tells me why I stopped in the first place and to continue to chase what i really wanna do.. smoking brought me good and fun times but the last years holding me back from the next chapter in my life. Thanks 🙏 ☮️
Tiiiiimmm!!! Right on!! At 48 I discovered I love snowshoeing and today at 53 I discovered I love kayaking and I can’t believe it took this long but glad I figured it out. Everyone should try new things, if you don’t learn you don’t grow if you don’t grow you don’t change and if you don’t change you die.
I agree Tim every time people ask how am doing, i tell them alive and hopefully safe. Am always thankful to have the opportunity to wake up to do it all over again. Thanks for the positive videos.
Tim, Wow what a beautiful video on life and the journey within. I live very near London and I see people chasing their tails and working every day long hours trapped by a system that will spit them out at the end.
I had recently come back home for a short lived vanlife experience for personal reasons. I find myself happier and more grateful for what I have since I've returned. I will certainly try again later on when I'm more prepared and have nothing else to lose. My clues have been about timing and taking care of those who need me. However the experience I just had gave me a confirmation that I can do it and that I can keep going!
