I'm 74 years old and now live alone. Family have moved away and I have struggled with finding my purpose alone. Your wise words will hopefully guide me and give me strength to challenge myself and make good choices on a daily basis ultimmately giving me a true sense of purpose. Thank you from a U.K follower.
I strongly relate. I am 58, I have lived alone since my only daughter moved out a couple of years ago. She is still in my life, but most of the time, I feel lonely, eating alone is the saddest thing. The rest of my family is overseas. I often struggle and feel like I have lost my purpose.
I don't think it's a coincidence that I found this video. I've been feeling so lost since my brother passed away a month ago. I can't find a purpose or the energy to do things. My brother loved Japan and dreamed of traveling there. It's beautiful to see people helping each other heal. My brother would have loved your channel. Thanks!
The caligraphies read the Han Mandarin way are "Tiānmìng, sùmìng, yùnmìng, shǐmìng" First three mean destiny or fate, the 4th means mission or call of duty.
I'm on my second career and I'm currently on that dark forest where I can't see the light. To be honest, I'm losing faith and hope. By some chance, I found this video and tears just poured out. In today's media, we are being convinced to get rid of anything that gives us pain. My first career gave me that and I took a risk to jump to a different path because of watching a lot of motivational videos. I don't have the privilege to change career again and the wisdom shared here that we need to overcome challenges in our lives gave me a glimmer of hope. Thank you and may we all find love and happiness.
'we are being convinced to get rid of anything that gives us pain' '... I've been there, on this 'path' of happy-clappy pseudo positive approach...avoiding confrontation with any form of shadow to maintain the state of painless efortless comfort... it's false, it's illusion, good for a while, but at some point I realized that pleasure without challange could be empty inside, shallow, meaningless. I ended depressed and anxious.. If comfort is my purpose of life, my ultimate goal ...what if something happens and I'll loose my comfort? I understood that good challange helps me build my strenght, it gives me sens of being and achievement, this good feeling that I'm able overcome my inner weakness or external obstacles. As long as I'm doing something useful, and see some progress and fulfilment despite of ups and downs - I am fine, maybe a bit tired, or streched, but fine. I can give myself a gift of rest. Then the pleasure is real, deep, and has a sweet, uniique taste of satisfaction from doing something meaningful.
Sometimes all we need is patience. I had many challenges from since I was born raised by different parents and uprooted to live in so many places. Dealing with emotions I couldn't place, being avoidant as I thought people would leave me anyways. Someone told me what I was doing and after that came reflection and more struggles. Had a debt thanks to my ex and came out of it, learnt how to take care of myself and then I had space, time and some money, travelled and learnt so much from other cultures. Never owned a house and only rented shared rooms so I could save up. Landing a job that made decent money in telecom and though I could it was not my dream nor my purpose. Then I remembered that I was working with energy before, putting my hands on people and after a burnout I started to go back on the spiritual discovery and opened up. When I was 40 I discovered that many times I lived so close to this school of shiatsu and I did all 4 years and am now a licenced shiatsu therapist. And after taking many minimum paid jobs in admin I am now a personal assistant for a director of a big company and entering my autumn years. The red line in all the jobs I did was helping people in some way and in the end it took my actions to get to my purpose and to find a job that I am happy with doing. Never give up on yourself. Yes, I agree with getting rid of everything that gives us pain, the path to it might be painful sometimes, it is also part of life
I’m 68 and have always felt lost. Clarity began to emerge when I stopped thinking about purpose. For me, purpose will find me through my ongoing pursuit of knowledge and growth.
It's true, but the problem in our system is that serving is rarely truly selfless, because it's bound to a compensation (money). I don't like that even though it's necessary
When you said you only have 89 subscribers in a year after starting youtube, but keep on going, that really hit me. That's how important a purpose is! Thanks!
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RU-vid channel 2 months ago about self development. Now I have 164 subs and almost 80 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
@@Memories_With_You Thanks so much! I realized that the main reason for doing this is not about the success but the inspiration I've been providing some people with my stories while helping others do the same as I shared the lessons & experiences through making videos to have a sense of meaningful purpose. Therefore, I’m planning to quit nursing to pursue youtube full time as there are lots of issues in our traditional health systems as these don’t align with my values. It’s a huge learning curve but I love helping people through making videos. Also, as part of my video creation progress, I’m switching to a better editing software and a camera so the learning curve is much higher and slows down the completion speed of my next video. I do appreciate your support and kind words! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)
@@MyEverydayGarden I sincerely appreciate such kind words! When I was a kid, all I wanted was to have a career that pays well so I can buy whatever I want but now that I’m grown up and went through tons of setbacks from losing tons of people in my life, getting lost in the world with full of life traps, being ridiculed for pursuing my dreams, and so on, I can say that long-lasting happiness can’t be bought or earned because it comes from within us. Continue to grow as a person and I’m so glad that you’re part of this journey! I’m hoping to upload my next one this month, which is more than an hr long. I’ve been working hard for many months now to present it in the best way I can. I hope that you’ll enjoy it! Thanks so much again for your support! ❤️
A while ago, I used to think that there's something outside and there's must be a place that can change me. But that was wrong, I realized It's inside in me ,already have and small decisions shape to big picture. I want to live each day with kindness and make decisions with kind heart and passion so I always write a journal,running, take care of myself too . But ,sometimes I got lost. Since I watch your you tube I start to challenge meditation For five minutes every morning. I just started 4 days ago,😂 but I can't forget that day my heart was peaceful and Positive feelings were bigger than Negative. I'm just excited what would be like after one year through meditation. Thank you show I feel much better than before.
Thank you for this video. Yesterday I find myself crying, because I was thinking I have no purpose in life, and this video open my mind, even for a little bit. I'm trying my best to find my purpose in life. Thank you
Incredible video. Thank you for making it. I have always wanted to become a writer, it is my passion, and what I truly yearn for, and yet I could never find the motivation to finish a book. I could be at the very last word, and simply not have the will left in me to write it, and so I would just scrap it. And it got to the point, where I lost the will to even begin writing. Your words and your teachings are helping me to understand where I had lost my way, and that perhaps, it is all a part of that joruney. I will not forget them. I believe I no longer regret the lost opporties, or wasted time. It was all a lesson. I am sending love your way from Bulgaria, your wisdom and the Japanese philosophy and teachings are reaching people all around the world, and that is incredible. That, in combination with the teachings and wisdom of my own culture I think are helping to shape me into a version of myself I am much happier with. I have far more to say about everything you said in this video, and others, as well as how I felt about it, but I think words are not nesessary in this case, and that is beautiful. Thank you, once more, for working hard and not giving up on RU-vid, or yourself.
Wow, I am also from Bulgaria and have been struggling with the exact same thing. It feels so special that I found this video and this comment just now, but all I can do is say thank you both! ❤
So insightful & well spoken. Recently I've come to the new awareness that incredibly, there is great value, benefit & power in the experience of "getting lost & being lost." Part of teaching us & wisdom as we navigate thru life. Blessings to you & thank you for sharing❤
🙏 Thank you. I’m 67, and there is little you said that I haven’t taken to heart at one point or another in my life. But I needed to hear how you put it together today so eloquently; it was hearing it again for the first time as many of us have experienced before. And it was perfect for me. Blessings to you.
I lived w 2 Japanese roommate ladies just same age of myself, always knew how everything they do is in to excellence. Last few days subconsciously thinking of Japan, how neat it is, and just now I saw this video 11:11 clock time! Excellent video! Very impressive, 👌well spoken, clear to the point, high quality communication skill, well balanced of points & knowledge, you are surely destined to be philosophical speaker in this such robotic unconscious conventional world, THANK YOU for sharing wisdom🙌🏻🙏☮️💜
I've been following the path that that I have felt and envisioned since my childhood to be my true calling. I have encountered enormous challenges to fulfill this passion as I struggled financially as a single mother of four kids as I was working and studying at the same time. Another challenge was how to veer away from organized religion. At age 18, I discovered Eastern philosopies through the Maharishi as he initiated me to TM himself, following were my search for spirituality, consciousness and awakening. As an empath, these opened me more to help contribute to the good of humanity. Little things like helping a friend, neighbor, my students or even strangers. Coaching, mentoring or whatever my intuition would lead me to realize the real solution that people need with their problems. I just do what I need to do without expecting anything in return. To be able to help people unconditionally, means I am blessed. Enough reason to be very grateful every waking hour.
I feel like I'm currently in the part of the "beginning journey" you were describing about crawling through the forest. I strive to one day become like you, in my own personal way, of course, and be able to embody life. It's hard, knowing you're in-between your past and your purpose. But if it's getting easier for you, there is hope.
"You have to find the question that matches with the answer that lies within." - That was very powerful and seems to be exactly what most of the people struggle with. Of course the answer lies within you, but you need to figure out a way to dig into the right spot within yourself to find answers to your questions. Thank you so much for your inspiration and very thoughtful video!
I've only discovered you this morning, but I so needed to hear this right now! You are profoundly wise and a pleasure to listen to. Bless you for sharing these wise words! 🙏
I really needed to hear this! Thank you! Im in that phase where ive had slow growth for 2 years on youtube but i feel that its my purpose and i want to keep going! Thank you! Amazing video! 😊
Another beautiful video of yours!! if it's not the most beautiful.... I love that you can deliver a message so meaningful and deep with so much spontaneity. It feels structured, thoughtfully prepared and spontaneous at the same time... at least it feels like it to me. And as always, it leaves me with so many things to think about for a long time, it is something I love the most in your videos. I know that it will stick with me for weeks from now on... thank you ♥
Love this! “Show” happy to have found you this morning! I lived in Japan for a few years and love Japan! Love how your translating the Japanese expressions and philosophy into English ! Love your stories. You have great wabi sabi style too! 🙏🏼💛🍃 ありがと
I have learnt so much from your video here and how I have heard the many sayings from before and have found new ones. I had to figure things out for myself for some time and this has helped me so much in many ways possible. Thank you ever so much!
Thank you. I’ve had a wonderful life and fulfilled all my life goals with family and career and even retired early. But,,, having arrived at my destination I know feel lost and empty. This video confirmed what I expected,, my fulfillment comes with always moving toward a goal. My new goal is to find a goal that is always moving out from where I am so I must always move forward toward it. Know you have helped someone today.
I was just thinking today what is my purpose in life. And I just found it in this video. Thank you for showing your wisdom in finding your journey in life.
wow incredible description and then topping it of with examples based on your unique perspective and life path. this is the first video I've seen of yours, but it won't be the last!
I'm glad I found your channel! Thank you for making this. I am at my 30s but still in a slump. I feel like every time I wake up, I feel like I am wasting my life doing the same things, living a distracted life and no purpose. I feel like I just have to get by the day. Really appreciate this. 🙏🏼
Just came across your channel. Wow, how amazing is everything you say and how you create these videos. Thank you so much. It’s Sunday, and I am elevating my energy by listening to your voice.
"Don't give yourself so much pressure" you said it all.I just discovred your channel a while ago and it's an eye opening experience. Thank you so much.
Now I know why you popped up in my feed this morning. Coming down here to heal ourselves and pay it forward...that is exactly what I did and what I am doing next. Hearing you say that was confirmation for my new found passion and specialty wisdom I possess that needs to be shared.
The fact that this video has come across my path now, goes to show that the universe is listening. Thank you for this knowledge, I can't wait to implement all of this information in my life from now on.
Hi, this is the first time I'm watching you and will be not the least because it's amazing that you doing rn. The amazing thing about this video is: it make me open my eyes about making daily small decisions and how you make them... I just sit and think for a moment and I've realized that really is the problem about what's going on rn with me... That was very powerful thank you for making me aware of that 💙
Thank you show for these videos that you make. Sometimes I feel lost in life and these are so motivating and great reminders for me. Much love from cali ❤
Since my awakening I've been trying to find my life purpose but without any guidance or mentor i feel very lost and losing hope atm.. you have aided me immensely. I needed more clarity to my answers and you have given that to me. Seeing your video pop up in my feed tells me that this wasn't just a coincidence.... this message is telling me that I'm on that path I just gotta keep going.
Brilliant. Just had a nice Saturday morning breakfast listening to your philosophy. It's overcast outside. Best 20 mins all week. Thank you for making this, thank you for sharpening your knife, thank you for working on yourself.
Thank you for the video. I struggle with self confidence, with feeling no good or not good enough but I still strive for my goals. I am a hard task master and am hard on myself if I can't do something. My negative thoughts can be the hardest. I think of how people have treated me and instead of letting go, I dwell, even though I know it is only hurting me and not them. I need to watch more of your videos.
I am beyond grateful RU-vid recommended this video to me, I am beyond grateful to have discovered you. Listening to you just now was a very powerful experience that completely captured my attention for every second, and every word you spoke hit me so hard, so hard that I started tearing up. What incredible wisdom. In regards to Japanese philosophy, there's much I do not know about, I've only heard about "ikigai" before, but that's about it. I look forward to expanding my knowledge. When you said that you wish you had done better when you were just starting out, I believe that we are all doing our best in every moment. You probably did your best, but when you're just beginning, then you're just beginning, and from there on you can only improve. There's a reason you grew as much as you did with a massive following now. Thank you again Show, and I look forward to learning much more from you!
I, too, have just discovered this amazing young man. He lives his Unmei by sharing with us knowledge gained from his own experience, the only kind that is trustworthy. Already in the comments I witness the good he is doing. The kind, calm voice is a most important part of the delivery, for me. Now to re-listen.
It’s a sign from the Universe that this video showed up in my feed, I have been only hearing and seeing the word “PURPOSE” everywhere. Thank you for sharing your beautiful knowledge, I can’t thank you enough❤
Felt this, so much. Thanks for sharing I used to explain the work with the "self" with the daily routine of teeth brushing. First creature in life, that i got in touch who use same image.
wow I really enjoyed you sharing your culture This must be the best explanation ever on finding your purpose, ive watched and read so many others but this Trumps them all. It makes sense I can relate Thank you
Whoua. This video is amazing, I'll watch it again and absorb more about everything you say in this video. Your job is astounding, I'm blown away by the quality and the value of your message. Thanks 🙏
I just came across this video and what a blessing! I've been feeling completely lost. I'm 38, married with 2 kids and I feel like I'm slipping into a dark place. Sometimes I feel like I'm on autopilot, just burning through the days, weeks, months etc. Working a 9-5, lost my passion for photography and fitness, I've hit the ceiling. Thank you for these videos, it's a slow recovery for me, I miss the feeling of happyness and purpose....
This is so beautiful. You made great points with this philosophy. I already do much of this, but you brought up some things which I feel as human we are always working on many aspects. We become the light that serves.... nice. I cant wait to learn more. Thank you. 💚💜💙
This popped up in my recommended starting watching just to see what he talking about but when he said hes a ARIES ♈️ ❤i knew god sent this me this sunday morning ❤❤❤
I really appreciate you and your efforts to make this video for us around the world. For me, this video made conclusion of my last few years psychologic treatments.
This vid hits. deep. your words.. they give strengths and hopes. much needed. I will rewatch again and again if i ever need to find some light. thank u.
There is always so much left to learn and then translate it into experience...I'm grateful that you are here for us. Know that we are here for you as well
i've been living on Autopilot till this day without courage, intention, desire purpose, and sparks in life. This video definitely sheds some lights towards my goals in life.
When you mentioned about human's mission is to serve, that enlighten me to think simple and having the goal to serve. I can serve anyone anytime now rather than thinking about how to get to my goal which weigh me down. Thanks Show!
Really appreciate the insight into Japanese philosophy, where can I go to read more about these 4 paths or similar Japanese Philosophies. I have read/listened to a few different Japanese philosophies and I feel like they resonate much more with me and my values (you could say resonate with my spirit) much more than the philosophies that I have been taught growing up in a western society. I have only recently found your channel, you have gained another subscriber! I really appreciate the content & production quality of these videos, the calm music in the background really works well, the way you structure your sentences and tell them like a story is great!
This video contains insight, wisdom & kindness on so many levels. Thank you for making it & sharing. I struggled for years with the question "What is my Purpose?" & recently it was revealed to me that; :My Purpose was not singular, but a way of showing up in life every day. Like the Rumi poem Guest House speaks of; My purpose is to be open to & welcome all in life & be grateful for all of the opportunities aka challenges. Blessings to all♥
What wonderful wisdom to hear today. Thank you, Show ☺️ Super interested in Japanese philosophy. Especially about the spirit/soul energies. ✨ I will apply this knowledge to my journey ^^ 🙏🏻
