Joshua Graham teaches you how to be a man 

we have Dagoth Ur for the goofy memes, but Joshua Graham for motivating and courageous words

@@thegucc593 my thoughts exactly

@@thegucc593Litterally his character.

I guess his voice just fits for the purpose

It’s gotten me to listen to the bible lol.

I’m sorry to hear that. Things will get better, stay strong as hard as it may be. A lot of guys have been in your shoes, it fuckin sucks in the moment but it passes.

​@@taxeevayderr5902 don't give up and don't give in, your kids need you now more than ever... kids TODAY need their fathers more than ever, so keep doing what you're doing bro. By the time they're old enough to realize how strong you've been for them especially in a time like this, they're going to love you even more so for continuing to show them what a good man and father is supposed to be and they'll carry that image with them for the rest of their lives, and when it's all said and done you'll be able to sit back and see that all of the work and effort you've put in will have been truly worth it. They're proud of you and so are we, so keep it up bro. Much love 👑

@@taxeevayderr5902 with spirit like that you'll be the best there is to your kids, never give up and stay strong, don't forget that your strength is very admirable and you have my eternal respects

Good trash took it self out better to get it over with now Shame though At least the kids have one parent and aren’t Orphans

Sorry that happened to you, I wish you the best in providing for your children. One day, I'm sure they'll recognize your incredible strength of character for being there for them when they needed it most despite what she's done.

I once believed that one does not require hope if they lack self pity. But feeling sorry for yourself has its use. It's how one recognizes that something is missing or wrong with their life. It's okay to feel sorry for yourself if it gets you to do something about it.

​@@RobG811damn if that isn't the truth

@@RobG811Amen bro that’s true. Self reflection was key to my change and I thank God everyday for my self reflection.

If only it worked that way in the real world. There is no "god" here in the way you think there is. Source can only help us help ourselves, but deceit guile and subterfuge will always win out in the end because the material plane favors selfishness.

​@@LupusMechanicus The gains that God gives you aren't material. Why should a loving God reward his people with objects of decaying matter? The world will take you in the end, and if He was to reward us with an easy life, our reward dies with us along with our purpose. The world will provide you with the material fortune you seek, as it is the god that many worship. Those who act out of malice are worshiping the selfish nature of the world, and the world rewards them for what they do. The world, like its servants, does not do this out of love or kindness, but simply for its own benefit. It is a god who thrives off of the power and importance we give it. To gain much material wealth, but to lose your dignity, honor, and soul is not fortune, only a bad investment. The greatest fortune you can gain is a fortune that does not leave you, and such is the fortune God offers.

@@random-_-dude The only reward is being removed from endless reincarnation and suffering, you will not be you if allowed out of samsara because you are not your physical self. Upon returning to source your individual experience ceases to exist.

​@@LupusMechanicus Then what? You have removed everything about yourself. You cannot experience true bliss if you can feel nothing. If life is so selfish, its purpose shouldn't be to end itself, and to leave this existence to escape it is itself a selfish urge. If life is a cycle, there is no urgency to escape it as you will have many tries later, and the rule of probability would state that everyone will eventually find a way out. But there is an urgency. If you're incorrect about the cycle, you have only wasted your time on a selfish and suicidal action. I find no fortune in this.

Objectively useless quote

That metaphor is even more meaningful coming from Joshua Graham...

Very fitting as well, given his relationship with fire.

Can anybody help me out with this question in life which is: Joshy says to not blame others and point out that they did this and did that and just support the pain, but how do I do this when my neighbors is blasting out loud music all the time and all i do is blame then that they are wrong about this and that they should respect me, what would joshua say or do in my situation?

@@knowledge_harvester He would likely forgive them then shoot them. He's... kinda not made for first world problems if you catch my meaning

​@@knowledge_harvester he says that you must stop to point fingers everywhere when bad things occur, and isntead try to learn a lesson from it. To be better off.

discord? life advice?

Wait, what??

Hol up people actually do that?

Yeah didn’t Andrew Tate do that to? With a website?

Saw one the other day of master chief showing you how to draw that cool "S" every one at school knows how to draw. Need one of Cpt Price teaching me how to do my taxes.

​@PopeMcGrope good news, while there's no Captain Price telling you how to do your taxes, there is one of master chief teaching you how.

But cringe the AI provides endless opportunities and lots of these “in character” AI videos (like this) are completely out of character

thank you for saying that. i am benefitting from that kind of love. Thank you to all who Love like that. Sincerely

@@flatboat67 amen

I created a whole playlist filled with Joshua Graham motivation videos. This shit is therapy

Consider yourself lucky. The more you understand this the better you are. Many men today are void of this video's message in their lives.

18....attracted to such truth and wisdom already. You’ll be a leader among your peers.

They say the strong are kind. You're strong, I can tell by your kindness. Those who wronged you are weak for they are defensive yet aggressive with their agenda. Gods be with you

Calm yourself, and rest your eyes dear friend. Everything's going to be alright, don't give up on people but especially don't give up on yourself. Stay strong, and be fluid else you turn to dust.

Same thing happened to me just a few days ago. I understand your pain

I am sorry for the fate that has met you my friend, however the sadness and frustration of a betrayal is only the temporary while the strength of your mind, your will and your soul is eternal once found I wish you luck on the path that awaits for you in your journey

@@Jesse-jp8bt Thank you

I aim to end my journey better off than I started. I am achieving those aims.

I agree, a secret community of guys trying to become Real Men

​@@xtrachromyhomie9720 Hell yeah. First and biggest step for me was becoming sober. Now that my mind is not clouded by constant, destructive, self-inflicted abuse, my thoughts and interests have moved over to focus on improving my overall well-being.

@@xtrachromyhomie9720 no offense,how ever it should not be a secret community. it should touch everybody.we don't need no more sects or any group of humans who think they are prophets or priviliged(because with saying secret,the thought of privilige comes kinda with it... ) and take the gender manifestation out plz,it is about becoming a real human..more than half of the content of the video can also be related to women or to any other divers group(LGBTQ+-)... Don't forget,any gendergroup confronts the same darkness in the end.of course we have different bio.sleeves,characters,sexuality,but in the end we are all equal in some layer...

My fire burns. Sometimes brightly. Sometime it only flicker, and it is tough to stoke back to a roaring blaze. Fortunately, others like yourself come along and see that my fire is dwindling and with your comment provide me the kindling I need to return it back to the fire that stokes the coals of my determination. I can only hope that if I haven't returned the favor that someone in my stead does very soon.

god damn bro im so sorry to hear that, but in the end you pulled through, ggs man stay strong

You live on to fight another day!

"I have been baptized twice. Once in water, once in flame." - Joshua Graham

You are strong and do stay that way

Jordan peterson has always implied this; true virtue is having the ability to destroy the world, and being able to control it. Without control, a man that has power is simply a barbarian.

New Vegas goes hard

What is FNV?

@@bennz9907 Fallout New Vegas

I’m 20 years old right now and I feel the the same exact way you do bro I be feeling so lost on my journey.

I’m 25 I feel you brother.

What are you thinking of when you say "glorification of victimhood" though, because knowing RU-vid, it's 50/50 between you meaning actual victims of injustices making their voices heard, like people protesting state violence against minorities, and people trying to live their best lives being accused of trying to corrupt children, or people who listen to scaremongering news anchors telling you things like "the unwashed foreign hordes are coming to steal your jobs", and "the medicine is actually a grand jewish conspiracy, eat the horse drugs, if you prevent disease you are helping the Bilderberg cabal subvert society" etc TL;DR do you mean actual victims, or those who appropriate the moniker of victim to excuse their immorality

Try the last 5 years or so.

Same bro

If you think life is hard for the very wealthy you are really deluded lol. Only the rich and beautiful strive. The poor and ugly suffer. It has always been this way and forever will be.

@@ilikepancakes2368I’m sure kids who are ravished with living in famine and living off a dollar a day, would say someone like you with obvious internet, a phone or computer and clothes, food and I’m sure a job with living family members and friends who I hope care for you; those people might say you’re rich and wealthy living the life. Just as the video said, it is hard for everyone. Who’s to say those rich and wealthy individuals weren’t once poor and at the bottom of society at one point? It’s all about perspective, get away from your own defeatist mentality and stop feeling sorry for yourself. You’ve got to work with what you got.

Agreed. It’s a good man behind this channel.

I definitely can relate with this moment.

This man going up somewhere good and he will put a mark on history some day

I found it today I love this channel already

I've found this message within Dr Petersons lectures feom years ago. I find it fascinating that it was condensed into this.

As someone who has difficulty to express myself, this comment is so close to what I want to write here, I had a similar raising not but not because my dad was absent but because most of my family are woman, also it doesn't help that I already look a little like a girl and I'm very shy so don't talk to people about myself... A lot of people thought I was trans or something... I don't think I am but I do enjoy more feminine stuff What I want to say is that both this video and this comment resonate with me and is what I was needing in my path to become a better person (Sorry if the grammar is awful, English isn't my first language and I am very bad at communicating normally, even in my native language)

Yeah I can relate, I just wish I could be I touch with my femenine side but I'm always afraid of social rejection

Thank you king 👑

​@@rishitomar67 Screw the social rejection. If you enjoy certain feminine things or want to try feminine. Go for it.

@@humbleguardsman5578 thank you, it means a lot to me

Jesus loves you, brother.

@@gigachoof and I love you, random citizen!

What I've observed is that people who believes god says their god loves you. But agnostic/atheist people always say i love you. Idk which one you find more comforting.

@@stressedbyamountainofbooks I, personally, am a little more comforted by the direct love of another person than the person in the sky that has never talked to me. Of course, that's my choice, and other people make others, and that's okay!

@@banjomanperson God has different ways of communicating. From what I hear from other people it's more that communication is in paths and experiences in life rather than a direct human-like conversation.

You need not be religious to heed the words of a very wise, very studious man.

@@upsetpringle8353 He fell into the Grand Canyon, so I’d listen

Maybe you should give God a chance, there’s a lot you can learn with Him

There will be more dark days ahead brother, for the anchor does not excuse the storm. That anchor ultimately being God, holds us firm through the storm, but most certainly doesn't excuse it from our lives no matter deserving or undeserving we think we are. After sailing the sea of life at first without and now with that anchor, I can now stand firm in life during these storms in my life through the stability and foundation that has been extended to me through His grace. God does not want anyone to be religious, but rather, he wants you to be His; he wants you to give your heart. I pray you accept that love that has been seeking you one day, and that I see you In heaven Ace. Stay safe my friend, God Bless.

@@allgoodman3475 not really.

Well, then keep pushing the light. Furthermore give it unto others.

This video applies to all humans tbh, not just men, it's something everyone should be doing

keep grinding bro u inspire

@Elijah Derouselle @Caleb2Scrub thank you both haha

@Taco Thursdays we all struggle as white belts, we all just have different struggles. Some struggle to learn the art due to lack of athleticism, some with the inability to learn from loss, some from poor work ethic, some from poor diet. This art isnt just whats on the mat, but how to push yourself to improve,physically and mentally. Thats just my opinion tho.

@@_almace every sport is like that, does that render all physicality moot to idealize?

Dude I cannot agree more! 😮

Yep

100%. I’ve listened to this 3 times now, truly beautiful work.

make sure to actually look at them.

Just be

This just inspired me I think I'll start doing the same.

Anxiety is harsh, and the struggle is real and taxing. It can be done, but it isn't easy or instantaneous as flipping as switch. For whatever it's worth from a random stranger on the internet, best of luck - honestly.

Women are loved universally? The biggest lie ever told. Sure, they're loved, if they adhere to strict societal expectations. Otherwise they're a bitch, whore, slut, gold-digger, nagging wife, cunt, bimbo, karen, for the streets, etc. Even this video and it's comment section is proof how ''loved'' women are. The script of the video is beautiful, no doubt, but women are excluded as if they don't have any struggles. The exclusion of women in these kinds of talks is dehumanizing. The fact that you even said that they're loved universally shows how understood women's issues are. You say a woman can leave a man any time, as if a man can't do that to a woman too. Why do you have to undermine women every chance you get? I'm not saying society isn't to blame for a lot of men's issues, but some accountability goes a long way. You think women go through less shit only because they actually deal with their shit. All this talk about what it takes to be a man, yet ironically lots of men's issues would be fixed if they learned a thing or two from women. But men are too embarrassed to do that. It shows how ''respected'' women are in society when men are too proud to learn something from women, that they must have a higher ultra macho manly purpose just because they are born a man. They don't wanna ''get down'' on women's level, then complain how society is unfair to them. It's sad really.

I wish you nothing but abundance as well as the inner fire that your father has joined to live within your heart to brightly shine when you see your own reflection.

Pretty sure this is all from stoics, didn't read meditations in a long time but there is a lot from Marcus Aurelius and Zeno. All memes aside Stoics were probably the smartest people ever (as far as understanding inner self goes).

May he rest on peace. You're doing great, keep on going. We're all rooting for you dear brother.

@@Jovanche9true. I also believe imam Al Ghazālī was one of those who reached the highest understanding

We never stop changing, but that's one of the beautiful things about life. All you can do is try to make that change a positive one, and like what was said in the video, live in the moment and love others. Have a great day

I agree, my father taught me that and it's something I take very seriously

That’s something we all wish would happen

@@timmykkgb Since you're clearly uneducated about the matter, I will spell it out for you. When you minor in something, you learn a lot about said thing. Does that make you an authority? no, and on one claimed to be. What it DOES do, is give you a perspective on that thing. Clearly you didn't pay much attention in school, otherwise you'd know this.

​​@@seriphmichaelthey never claimed to be one, stop creating problems

I have no idea if this will help you, but for me it helped too let what i was feeling go through me instead of keeping it in, i tried too remember that even though they are gone their memory of who they were before they passed will always be there, and instead of feeling like it was the end i tried too look at it like a new beginning.

YES

All he's said is the truth of christ. You don't have to be a zealot , just do right by God , one step at a time

I am rooting for you, brother.

religious?

@@comradejux Joshua and the rest of the dead horses are Mormon. He goes into full detail onto why he thinks religion is important and why he converted. He quotes a few Bible verses here and there but I feel like the most impactful thing he said is “I have been baptized twice, once in water, once in flame”

@@WhiteGenghisKhan understandable

Turn to Christ my friend. If you think scripture is calming then you will find a relationship with Christ is even more so in the long run. What is holding you back?

@@Southron-CiK If you think scripture is calming, then you have not read the scripture. I truly believe that if more people read the bible without any intervention by any outside source that tells them how they should think (specifically without being told by other people what those people think each verse is supposed to mean), then less people would believe in what the bible has to say. I can't speak to other religions/scriptures as I have no experience with them, but these are my thoughts on religions that follow the bible.

The feelings and memories after a bad day are the worst, they amplificates absolutely everything in the wrong way, I wish you courage in your struggles, I felt that too much..

You’re a man that made it out as a man. I admire you

Keep on the path brother, we're all trying to figure it out. Some are challenged more in life than others, just keep moving forward - whatever pace and however it looks.

@@gman9202 yeah you could be so low but if you move forward, life is still worth living
