If WORRYING worked we would have worried our PROBLEMS away years ago! 

I’m 35. No marriage. No kids. I will be the fun uncle.

That's why dogs are so happy, there is no past or future, it's always just now.

Preparing for old age is different from worrying about old age.

I'll be 80 in September. I worried about big and small things throughout my life. It didn't make any difference. Now I'm grateful that I've made it this far inspite of myself.

Look back too far, you'll get depressed. See too far ahead, you'll feel anxiety. Take care of today so your future won't matter. Friends are 👪 too.

I recently turned 46. I have never been married and have no kids. I don't worry about other people's expectations of how I should live my life. I enjoy being by myself and have people in my life for when I need family and friends time. People should "do the things they love with people they love." It's more simple than most people realize. Take care Tim💕

People who feel the need to have a spouse, a career, a house, and 2.2 kids are always worrying about this and that. They can’t be carefree because they are bound by the system. A person who is living a cookie cutter life cannot just quit their job to travel. When you’ve rejected the system you live for yourself instead of trying to impress others.

I’m in my 60’s and am looking forward to ditching ALL my belongings, buy a new Hybrid SUV, a nationwide gym membership, travel and live out of my SUV. I had alternate plans but aStage 4 Cancer diagnosis changed those plans 6 years when I was told I was gonna die! Live for TODAY. God will give us our “Daily Bread”. Just trust Him!

I’ve been traveling since I was 17 years old, now I’m 54 looking better than I was in my 20’s I speak 6 languages I am not taking any prescription medication, only take vitamins and exercise . Not stoping anytime soon. Saludos from panamá Central America 🇵🇦keep it up 👍

I'm 65, widowed, wealthy, healthy, and this advice is how I live my life.

What about that steel company in Illinois that forfeited everyone's pension some having worked for 30 years in that union.

I have been working on this job for 3 yrs and i saw coworkers die a month after they retired. It was an eye opener for me. I dont want to live like that i left and have been feeling free since. 🎉

"Live free or die trying"

Health is everything. If you have it give thanks daily. Being sick sucks trust me.

I'm a 37 year old single female without a prospect in sight. I'd like to be married, but I don't want kids. I'm starting to give up on the idea of marriage when I'm not even getting approached for dates and haven't in years, smh. I just focus on traveling, volunteering, moving my body, and having some fun from time to time.

I read about a study in Britain, that showed that people spend an average of 8 years of their life worrying about the future.

36, not married. Did have a couple kids but that was in my early 20s. My oldest drives now. I live alone and spend most of my time doing whatever I feel like. I go hiking every weekend, play video games until 2 am, forge swords and knives for kicks and sell them randomly here and there, have a gorgeous garden, and just enjoy myself. I never thought living this way was going to be so satisfying.

An older gentlemen built his dream home down the street from my mom. He was mid 70's. He died one week later.

Don’t worry.. about a thing 🎶 -Bob Marley

You come to this world with nothing. You leave this world with nothing!

I feel suicidal sometimes so getting old is not a problem for me, it means I'm closer to death

the older u get the better .... less and less future to worry about lol

I was watching a documentary on aging in America and the focus was on people in nursing homes. My teen son walks by and asks why am I watching that as "you won't be in one". Whereas my children taking care of me is not part of my retirement plan, it felt good to know that he was in so many words telling me that he loves me and has my back.

Keep doing what you do Tim… you’re living more of an exciting life than most average retired people that do nothing other then gain weight,pop pills, and complain about politics. I have retired family members that have nothing going on in there lives but body aches. Thanks for the inspiration

People that worked all those years are talking about when they retire they will be living in a van. So what did they spend all their lives working for there is no greatness at the end. And most people body will be so broken down and which is the plan they will be living their last years in nursing homes or hospital or hospice. 😢 what is great about that. It’s sad we are programmed this way. Funny how people say oh he didn’t work blah blah is why he/she is this way. But they get quiet when someone worked all their lives and now so broken down and money saved is now being spent on being hospitalized or rehab to get up a walk again etc. This world is a throw up coin no matter what you do because if your health gets the most of you in the end you are done and you have not done any traveling etc just work work work. I seen all examples and it’s scary so why not live live live.

I’m 67, stopped completely working 12 years ago. I could have worked longer and had a ton of money, but no regrets . Thankful for my great health. Worse case I end up broke and live in a tent eating hot dogs. No big deal I would survive and be happy . As it is said, only thing guaranteed is the now.

Great video with excellent content; love your message❤ I m going on 70, living in my van for 3.5 years with my dog n loving it all. I m happier n healthy than ever before while on no medications. Our life is fun n an everyday adventure with a great deal of positivity. No worries.....be happy❤❤❤❤❤❤

At 40 I feel 25 because I’ve reserved myself and have all my time to me. 👍

You are not naive. You have the right attitude. We don't need to worry about what the future brings because it's not going to change anything. Just go with the flow and live life in the best way you can.

I have a motto that I've come up with.... "Live for today, plan for tomorrow." I do what I can to enjoy today, work hard today. I've planned for tomorrow, but there isn't any promises.🎉

I like the way you think brother and I'm the same. I'm 59, never married, no kids, no home. Ive been stuck in a bad pattern of negative mind after a series of traumatic losses. Life is hard right now & and I've been feeling I'd like to leave clown world but trying to hang in there. I love the positive vibe of your vids.

I was recently really struggling with anxiety about possible future worries. Jumped back on my meditation grind and immediately it made me realize that my imaginary worries of what could happen are extremely overblown. And that the world is SO MUCH bigger then my little worries. For that moment, I felt incredibly small and that I was totally self loathing.

I try not worried about the future because I can't control the future.

I wish it was so easy to just stop worrying. I try to stop worrying but not always can achieve that.

Man, I sure needed to hear this. It seems fear and worry is a driving force these days. I have to stop and remind myself what I've already endured and survived. I am obviously a survivor! We all need to remind ourselves not only what we're capable of, but what we've already been through.

What future? You can make your own, whatever and whenever you wish. You can change your present that may affect your future. But you will have to boldly go into the future without worrying about it. Don't live in fear. Fear of the unknown. Amen brother

It's the social programming. But they forgot that the social contract has been broken: being married with children now doesn't mean your children won't be weaponized against you when you become old. Being a loyal employee now doesn't mean the company will prepare a safety net for you in your old age. In other words, the old ideals don't apply to today's realities. You can play by the rules and still end up old, lonely, and alone. No guarantee.

Yes, I can attest to spending my lifetime “doing the right thing” only to have it implode. That’s when I realized that I need to live my life now. No matter how we plan, things may not work out. I now prioritize living and enjoying my life NOW! ❤ Everyday is a gift. I am no longer putting off my enjoyment. ❤❤ Thanks @Tim.

This might sound grim but, if my health fails at 70 or whatever, I personally, am completely capable of squeezing the trigger. It all closes out one day better to make that choice yourself than let fate be cruel.

I'm only 41 and i don't care anymore because I got a beautiful wife and daughter at home.

Starting at 6:37, I laughed with delight! I've done some unexpected things in my life by listening to that inner voice. Near age 70 now, I could write a book. Find quiet, listen to your voice, trust it. Timothy, you are right on.

Chronic over thinker here. Going to save this video to rewatch when I feel overwhelmed with worry. This helped calm and reassure me. Thank you Tim!

“It’s easier to deal with stuff when you know you’re the cause of it” 😂 memorable quote, right there!

Hi Tim I have a daughter who isn’t gonna take care of me nor should she, and I don’t really have any other family, and I kind of keep to myself and move around when I can. I don’t have any retirement don’t have much savings. And I am not at all worried about the future. some how it always just works out. And if it doesn’t, it won’t -and I’m OK with that too. I think you have to be OK with knowing there may come a day where you’re not OK. And it took me my whole life to get to that point, but I finally feel like I can accept whatever happens. I’ve been through a lot, I’ve lost a lot but I’m OK and I’m still here. And I know one day I might not be OK and one day I won’t still be here … I am OK with that -it’s life it’s not supposed to last forever and there’s no need to worry about what hasn’t happened yet, or what might happen. Because it might not happen. You might be surrounded by love and come into money and have everyone and everything you need when it’s your time to leave this world even if you have nothing right now. So we are wasting our time worrying about a future that is not promised now when we should be living & loving THIS time -because come tomorrow we might not have it. Today might be all we have. For some reading this and some not reading this it is. I am already on borrowed time. I should’ve died five years ago. Literally the doctor doesn’t know why I survived. But I’m not gonna worry about it. I’m going to live and be thankful that I have one more day even if it is just one more day I’m gonna make the best out of whatever happens even if it sucks….because someone always has it worse than i do. And no matter what I’m feeling I have to remind myself someone out there is feeling it worse and then I have to pray for them, and be grateful that I am still here to feel anything. So every rainbow I see, every sunset & every sunrise i witness,every moment I am given, every laugh I share, even every tear I cry alone, I’m here for it! I’m here for it for as long as I am given - and I am so thankful to still be here knowing full well that I almost wasn’t. What a gift --and for everyone who isn’t here I’m gonna do the best I can with my time because they didn’t get to … I am always aware when it comes down to it, that every breath is a gift, and that I am not entitled to any of those breaths-but for as long as I’m giving them, I’m going to do my best to help others and to love everyone and everything the best I can.

money dosent change what causes poverty

I'm an old man in my sixties. I agree don't worry yourself but you do need to plan and be aware of your plan for when it does occur. Trust me, it will come quickly.

Tim.. I 💯 agree. I am 38 and single with no kids and I envision a future where am loved, provided for and financially stable.

Up until now, I have not worried about things. I have so far had a fairly enjoyable and unconventional life. Recently though, I have started to worry about my age, physical condition, and not having work available as I age (or the inability to do it) and no savings. It started to lead to panic, and regret- even though at the moment, things are fine. I realized the worry is about not having a plan, and feeling like there are no options. At the same time, I realized basically what you are saying- worrying is not going to get me anywhere. In fact, it might be creating that "sick, alone, homeless and broke" future, if I do not let it go! Time to change my focus- my future looks bright, and it is going to be OK!

Well said 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 People spend far too much time in their youth worrying about being old! I just don’t get it. Live your life in the present moment - it might not always be easy but with practice you can enjoy your life *now* and then when/if you do get old, you’ll have amazing memories! ❤

Also you can always change things up at any moment. Maintaining health is so important. Every day is a new day a new choice.

"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes, don't resist them,that only create sorrow let reality be reality, and let things flow naturally in what ever way they like." Confucius,

47 no kids and live a mostly solo lifestyle. My dog passed away last year, and things just haven't been the same. Was pretty depressed, so I left my job for the summer to just do whatever, side jobs and hustle moves. I'm actually making more money doing that and I have more freedom, much happier.

I'm nearly 60, and I value my freedom more than conventional society.

I love your outlook on life. Life honestly isn't that serious we live and we die and leave all of these things behind. I personally don't want a conventional family or life. I'll just book myself into a fancy nursing home when I'm in my 80s and die with my age mates 😂

Great message Tim, I think a lot people let fear dictate their lives. We need to live more in the present.

I love everything about this wonderful message! Why worry when I can dwell in possibility. Thank you, Tim!

If I'm not worried and you are worried for me I'm good. ✨

So very very true Timothy... Worrying is so bad for our health... I think in your seventies and later, you will be able to take care of yourself... I know sick 70 year olds and I know vibrant and active seventy years olds... 'Great Commentary'!

Hey Tim love your vlogs, I am at the ripe old age of 64 and still feel that good things are coming for me. You're right about separating worry from thought I'm guilty of it too. I think the millennium is going to change the way people plan their future, according to they're hopes and dreams, we can only wait and see.

I'm 46, single, and no children by choice. I'm addicted to worrying about everything but mostly financial stability in the future.I have to constantly remind myself that worrying and being hypervigilent doesn't keep me safe.

I'm looking forward to being an old man wearing a cravat, tweed and smoking jackets! I may even indulge in the odd cigar! 😊🙏🏾🤞🏽

My parents are strongly worried about aging and getting old and losing dependence. Unfortunately, their fears regarding this has affected me a bit, but Im working with my counselor on trying to desensitize a bit. Also, to stay healthy and trust my faith in God.

42 years old working part-time, pisses my parents off so much cause you have to work full time till 65 so you have money in your 70's and 80s " I always respond I could die tomorrow or in my 50s " and the conversation just goes in circles....sigh 😑

I can't comprehend how one could hate on your videos Tim. You made another great video.

My strategy is working for myself. I'm not very good at it, though, but I might take a class on how to survive out in the wilderness. Thank you for your motivational messages 🙏

AMEN!! I NEEDED TO HEAR THIS TIM 😊

Love these type of videos. Worrying does more harm than good 😌

Only a minute and a half into the video and I already know this is gonna be another Timothy Ward golden nugget in video format. 🤣

You could always be a life coach and draw on your intuition to help people -- just a thought! 😊

yea man i feel u on that . i dont like having to worry about all the bad stuff people claim when u get older . im only 32 i dont wanna think of bad things

I enjoy all your little talks so much. I listen regularly. I not only saw the sheriff car slow driving behind you, but I had a palpable physical reaction to it. It scared me. I'm a white, 51 year old woman so not specifically predisposed to fearing police......what I felt in that moment shocked me.

Timothy I'm glad I found you. You are a fresh breath of air. I love your videos. Keep them coming. They are very positive and inspiring to many!❤️

Tomorrow is not promised nor guaranteed to anyone. Tomorrow does not exist. Life is not meant to be happy although we strive for it. It’s about survival. Life is a tough gig for everyone. We are all winging it. Paranoia and anxiety is healthy and it is for our very survival. It’s only when it’s chronic that it becomes unhealthy. Love is anxiety. Life is suffering. Attachment is suffering. Everything we do is out of fear and love. Just do you and enjoy what you love. We don’t have long. Life is short. In the end nothing matters. And remember, It’s just a ride… Bill Hicks…..

Big facts Tim! That's exactly how it has to be especially if you want a piece of mind and serenity in your life!!

Single, childless men don't need much to get by.

Really enjoyed this massage today! Perfect timing for me. 👍

I am a 75 year old, single Black man. And I am NOT an old man yet! What you say is true. Especially about "worry". People don't understand just how powerful the mind, and one's thoughts really are. I have a good life. I frequently travel internationally (homes in a couple of countries). And some younger people might envy what I do and did (although I confess that life is a little slower for me now). I didn't plan. And I am not what you would call "rich". But I am more than comfortable and will never wonder about my next meal, a roof over my head, or healthcare/security. I just lived life at a realistic pace. My pace. Not someone else's. And I made decent decisions ... decent, at least for me. And so, I might let you all know how it turns out, when I finally become an "old man".

Facts! A positive attitude alone will put you at an advantage.

I admire his strong minded attitude. He is such a positive person and very spiritual. I wish him many blessings😊

Yeah lately I been worried just about getting older and worrying about imaginary health problems. I will stop worrying now. It solves NOTHING.

This is what I learned during my time with anxiety. I was worried about the future all the time. I was thinking that what if in 2 years I am not be able to travel abroad because of anxiety? I was worried that this is going to last for ever and I couldn't even accept the fact that I will have to live with it. I was told by a psychologist during that time that there is no such thing as future. There is only the present and future is abstract, it is only something we think about. So don't worry ahead because you don't know what is gonna happen when you get there. What I learned is that I should only live in the present because that's the only real time. It turned out I was wrong worrying so much about the future because now my anxiety is almost gone and it's just not at the stage I was in at the time. Of course it is good to plan your retirement if you're able to do that but you should not worry about that as Tim said because you don't know the future.

I love your videos Tim. Your perspective on life is so simple, yet so deep.

Awesome perspective! I’m worried about the future all the time but it is so pointless to worry because I’ve always figured out what to do in my past.

Timothy... You live your life not submitting to stress!!! Good job!!!

I like Tim’s mentally. I can honestly relate to it. The man is living his life without fear. The majority of people are living in fear every day. Smh 🤦🏾‍♂️ it’s really sad if you think about it. And everything around people perpetuates that fear using the media, jobs, the news. etc

I just found your channel. Looking forward to watching every one of your videos. Love your 'try it and see what happens' attitude towards life. I'm 69 getting by on rather minimal social security but it keeps a roof over my head, so why worry, be happy.

A great point. Many of my friends and family members often bother me because I don't plan things years in advance. I never believed in getting a 401K because I never thought it would be something I could rely on, and with the housing crash that proved to be true. So I never took a job that would lead to one. I just hopped job to job. One reason we can't worry about the future is that we can only plan for today's problems. We don't know what the future may hold and what technology may alleviate problems, perhaps replacing old problems with new problems. We don't know what sort of crazy politics could create bad or bizarre laws that will alter life in ways we can't even begin to imagine. Rather than people freak out and create a bugout bag, they ought to lead a more bugout sort of life, just be mentally prepared that anything can happen and mentally prep yourself for that. It's more important than all the planning in the world because, again, you don't know what problems may, or may not, present themselves.

That’s the beautiful thing about community, you can create one and find one where ever you go. I use to worry about the future but, I’m pretty content. When you have community you’re never really by yourself.

I enjoy when this man cooks. To keep true to one's morals and ideals is lost these days.Thanks for the words of wisdom old man.

Great message brother. Im always telling people not to worry about anything. Enjoy life ...do what brings you joy and when a challenging situation arises that requires us to make a possibly difficult decision, address it and navigate through it until its resolved. We are not even guaranteed tomorrow so let's be present in the moment while joyfully considering how we would like certain aspects of our future to play out, while not stressing or worrying about matters that don't exist now and maybe never will. Life is a game and a journey. Lets have fun and play it well.😊 Thank you Tim for all the inspiration and encouragement to resist the programming and exercise our God given ability to think critically and choose our own adventure. Fear is the enemy "they" use to keep us stuck and worrying. We can choose to live outside of that emotional/mental construct. Health hack: fresh lemon juice squeezed into a glass of warm spring water first thing in the morning with a teaspoon or two of bragg apple cider vinegar. Live long and healthy homie. Much love. ✌️

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. Every time I watch one I feel good. Common sense, positive messages - that makes me a big fan.

Thanks for the wisdom man. As someone who struggles with anxiety, this helped me a lot. Thank you.

I used to worry about that, when society told me that was important to worry about. Now that I'm older... Not so much! I'm more concerned with living the journey and if I make it I make it. Great topic! 👏

Friend Put all your TRUST IN THE LORD HE WILL PROVIDE FOR YOU.❤🌸🌿🌷🐿🐛🦋🐦

Live in the moment, what's going to happen will happen ❤🙏🏽✨️

Hi Tim. I don’t worry much about the future, I only have today and I’m enjoying every minute of it!!!

At 70 , I’m going to be a baller!!! Lol

Ive gotten into outdoor activities like mountain biking and hiking , jogging to have a great life you cant let the outside noise disturb your inner peace .

I do that. You're so right. I'm going to try to change my thinking.
