This man might have had learning disability as a kid but now he's full of wisdom and radiating with positivity toward life. I love his philosophy on short term vs long term vs eternity. Oh and anytime you see a daddy playing hopscotch with his kids, it is freakin' adorable 🤗
Àn eye-openjng experience. To never judge anyone with learing difficulties. Glad to see what a great father he is. Wishing him more happiness with his wonderful family. God bless!
He touches such an important topic! People are complex. Just because they've done something bad, it doesn't mean they're necessarily a bad person. A lot of the times, those bad actions are the result of an unfortunate life, filled with traumas and scars. This doesn't mean we should tolerate everything, of course. But it might makes think twice before attacking and pointing fingers to others.
Yes, we need to try and remember that. As we said in the write up, we are all human, we all make mistakes. Thank you for watching. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
@EPOCH - Thanks so much for the words of support. We don't have any plans for collaboration in the immediate future, but if anything changes, we'll let you know. Why don't you drop us an email (hello@greenrenaissance.co.za) and we can chat offline and keep in touch. Warm hugs. Justine and Michael x
I so enjoyed watching this beautiful family work and play together outdoors. These children are fortunate beyond measure to be growing up as they are with such a wise and loving father. Thank you for this lovely start to my day. 💚
Thank you so much for these beautiful words Deborah. So happy to hear we could give you a beautiful start to your day. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
We all have imperfections...but still we are beautiful with our scars 🌼🕊 If you've got short term vision, you farm with vegetables ..if you've got long term vision, you plant fruit trees...but if you've got an eternity vision, you invest in people. 💚
"Just follow love" so simple yet so wise. And his philosophy for his children wanting them to have the "Fruit of Love". May more parents raise their children with this wisdom! xoxo
What a beautiful film. I totally resonate with the damaging effects of dyslexia. I'm dyslexic and my numeracy is also expected. In my time there was no awareness of dyslexia . I was either disobedient, lazy or stupid , all of which were punished daily. To watch this beautiful film is hesling. Blessings and thanks to all involved . 🙏
Thank you for sharing your experiences as well EA. We are sorry to rad that you also had to experience so much because of your dyslexia. So glad that this film could do some healing. May your healing journey continue. We trust you found a good and happy walk in life despite all the negativity you experienced. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael.💚
@@ea1112 I am a (self-employed, not school) teacher for adults. And I have witnessed the damage many school systems have caused. Even a "simple" thing like coercing a left-handed child to write with their right hand (sadly still very common in Southern Africa) can leave life-long learning issues (especially re language). I hope you are able to create a much more supportive environment in your current living situation.
love isn't just a feeling, its a choice...... one that we make every day, and it starts from the moment we wake up. if you feel like there's a deficit of love in your life, take the first step and reach out to others with the understanding of your love reaching out. it'll be returned to you ten-fold........
Any time I feel like I have made the wrong decision in life these videos bring me to a hidden part of my mind that makes me think no I am doing the right thing! Keep up the good work
Another lovely video, and much needed at the moment in this crazy mixed-up world. Love is what we all need and a belief in oneself. Love and respect to you my friend and to you who are reading this, love and respect! Spread the love ❤
The way the education system treats children with learning differences does not need to be punitive, but it is. This man has discovered how to overcome the conditioning, and he has so much to teach.
What a beautifully filmed and a beautiful man's message.... I so wish l could turn on the TV and see films like this. Well done guys,and thank you...with... LOVE..💗🙂
Words cannot express what wonderful words have been spoken…so honestly spoken from the heart, it brought tears to my eyes. We can all change and embrace love harder. Thank you for these wonderful films. Bless that man and his family!!
We thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings sue. And very true, we can always try and make a difference. Much love to you, Justine and Michael.💚
I had similar learning issues in school where they labeled me something and it stuck with me for the rest of my education. Most of the teachers wrote me off as a lost cause. They put us learning disabled kids in a separate room. I have come to the realization that what some people see as a curse or a flaw is really a gift. I believe that society is sick and we humans are only byproducts of a sick society that does not value us for who we are. The purpose of our education system(meaning western civilization) is to churn out worker bees to work as cogs in the machine of our corporate masters devoid of any sense of meaning. No wonder why we have high levels of mental illness and suicide in western civilization.
Thank you for sharing all these thoughts Patrick. Sad to hear that you experienced similar things but it sounds that you found positives in it all. So wonderful and important. May you inspire many people, may you be able to use your gift. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
Education is too quick to label, they think an assessment should be based on what children must achieve at certain milestones. If more focus was on how well the child is achieving at their stage of learning they could work on those strengths to adapt learning styles. I can totally relate to your experience Patrick and that of the fella in the video. I worked with children who found another way of learning and they had such creative thinking, society should embrace rather than exclude but it takes a special employer to understand that.
@@cbcb102 I have never found an employer who really cares about anything but their bottom line. Greedy pricks. Thank God the west is collapsing under the weight of their own greed and hypocrisy. Perhaps if I survive long enough, a just society will emerge. Probably not though. Maybe teachers will stop pushing bullshit ideologies and start teaching practical knowledge that actually applies to real life like how to use a budget and how to manage money instead of becoming a debt slave. Maybe state testing scores won't be used/attached to funding of individual school districts, some of whom get shit for funding because the elite schools get the smarter students and the poor students who live in poverty get shittier schools with outdated buildings and no resources.
The education system is ironically uneducated when it comes to natural human divergence.We are not ‘all the same’ nor were we ever meant to be.We are each individual aspects of the universe..represented in human form..and look how diverse that universe is.Neurodivergence is as natural as nature🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏿🙏🙏🏾
We are so glad you found our channel and that it is meaningful and helpful to you. Thank you for being with us on this journey Amel. Kind wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
“If you’ve got a short-term vision, you plant vegetables. If you’ve got a long-term vision, you plant fruit trees. If you’ve got an eternity vision, you invest in people.” Great insight. Leads me to great questions of how I'm living my life. Thanks.
How beautiful it is when the Dove stays and bears fruitfulness down the generations with the love that begins within and emanates in limitless circles. Always an animal or more in these circles!🌻🦋🐕🌈♥️
Such wisdom! Made me cry…If I had only had his simple philosophy of life when my children were at home, maybe we would have a relationship now. All I can do from here on is live life like that now. Thank you for such a tender story.
Sweet C. Don't beat yourself up, I think it is also the point of this video. You did you best with the person you were and the knowledge you had at that time. You did your best
Thank you for sharing these experiences with us, we are sorry to hear that the relationship with your children is not as you would like it to be. But as A. B. said, you tried your best, there is no point in beating yourself up or punishing yourself. Try and put the old behind you and make a fresh start, try and stay positive. Might it be an idea, is it possible to maybe share this video with your children and then talk? We send you warm hugs and wish you all the best, Justine and Michael.💚
Thank you for the kind words. I did do the best I could with the tools I had back then. I was an overwhelmed single mom whose teaching job consumed most of my time. I found it impossible to be my best at work and at home. My children got short-changed. I know many woman can relate. My grown children still don’t want to reconcile, but I won’t quit trying.
All ya need is love - what a stunning condensation - of love - beautiful words - amazing cinematography - you captured visual images that were amazing - at the right moment... and what a message thank Johann for being my teacher today - what wonderful seeds you are planting..
This man made made me think of something very important. We can influence future generations through our kids. If we teach them good values, they will teach the same to their children. Thanks GR!
Absolutely stunning! The chains of hatred can indeed be broken. For good. If not all around, at least within a vast circle. Through the loving example we are to our children, love has a chance to spread like wildfire even after we die. I agree with him. I thank you
The words of wisdom from this channel make such as huge difference in peoples lives....and should be celebrated! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.♥️
Beautiful sentiments from a wonderful, marvellous man - thank you for being so honest, open and transparent about important aspects of your life journey -equally inspiring and humbling for me. Wishing and your amazing family all the very best..thank you for being you 👍🙏❤

Dislexia....esa mala palabra... Se lo q se siente . Genio este ser que entendió el amor como forma de lucha . 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Watching this video made me remember the times that my family, children at schools and in my profession made fun of me because of my dyslexia. My ex-husband used to do it. Two of my three children are dyslexic. And we formed a club, the Dyslexia Love Club. If something happens to us at home, we take it with joy and if something happens outside and we are not together, we have learned to laugh with love at our accidents.
Stunning how you managed to overcome this 'problem', thank you so much for sharing Julie. We wish you all the best further, may you all go and find your way through every day life despite the dyslexia. Warm hugs to you all, Justine and Michael.💚
What a beautiful mind this man has & you can see the Love & trust this man has earned from his children & his dogs. Anyone knows that if there is no love or trust in a person , the Children & Animals too, are always very wary & will always hesitate Wether or not to go near the person whose not nice!! Because the innocence have been blessed with Gods Love , to help them know the difference xx thank you very much for this heartwarming story & full of Love xx Helen Kirrage xx
Profound, beautiful and inspiring message Johan. Thank you for sharing from your heart. Interestingly, as a child I also suffered with dyslexia so I resonate with your message deeply. Loving one's self is the most important thing we can do - that gives us the capacity to love others unconditionally. 💜
What a beautiful man ❤️🙏 with a beautiful family, honestly ur channel is my fav love the content the person reality for the people u film , simply amazing spreading love and joy thanks for this ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome, we are so thankful we can share these videos, stories like Johann's with so many people around the globe. We thank you for being with us on this journey. 💚
Great reality check. Life is but a short blip in the time continuum. Focus on the right people and experiences. The rest is a waste of time and energy.
Dziękuję, że Jesteście, Piękni Ludzie, robiący Piękne Filmy, o Pięknych Ludziach. Dziękuję 🙏🙏🌹 za kolejną porcję Cudownej Mądrości, będącej Istotą Istnienia/Życia, przez duże "Ż". 💚💚💚👌🙏
this things can't be taught in school because this things are taught in life and maybe that is the beauty of it💛💛💛 i still remember the first video i watched on this channel was all about the 1000 cranes and that really changed me💛
Thank you for sharing your memories when you watched the first video on our channel, so beautiful. We are glad you are still on this journey with us. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
Nobody is perfect ,but he created the perfect environment for his children to grow,he is so fortunate and his children are blessed with a wise ,loving father .
So sorry you felt that way as a child, you are enough and you are loved. You have a lovely family they will learn from your honesty, even the adores you.
One of the most extraordinary things to say - this man had a remarkable turnaround and he went right into the correct path - the path of life and love.
-@@ReflectionsofLife His was a remarkable story - and of such inspiration and hope - you both are doing truly remarkable work with these wonderful cinematic life snapshots/mini-portrait gems.
So much wisdom and the real truth from somebody who was put in Special Needs group in his childhood. Wow!Thankyou Sir for your wise guidance which I so needed to hear at this very moment in time.
This is so amazing. What a remarkable man. Yes we reap what we sow. Would also love to hear from some people in Ukraine at the moment. They seem to be such a brave and kind group of people and I feel they have so many lessons and traits for humanity to learn from.
