The System Wasn’t Designed for Us to Succeed! | You Have to be an Anomaly. 

people can be sheep and i know family members who got married got a secure job bought a home and are unhappy and constantly need validation for there life choices. there always like look me and the life i made for my self but i see them sad and lonely and unhappy because they chose to live a life in a cage and they are way to judgmental about other people who are free and happy

150% One of my favourite sayings is "Observe the masses and do the opposite!" - you will get sh!t for it but it's worth it. I never went to university, started working straight out of school and now run my own business and have property (looking for property abroad as well!) follow the sheep and it's a sure way to fail!

I learned 'do the opposite' early on. When skiing I'd go in for lunch at 11:00 and there would be plenty of room & food, then I'd go back to the slopes at 12:00 and everyone else was going in. People are PROGRAMMED. Use that mindset to one's advantage.

My poor co-workers come to work miserable everyday, barely can see their own kids, working 3-11 or 9-5 only having 8 days out of 31 days off, has of them dedicated to adult work. It's to the point that work is their life, they come to work make a big deal about little things like Maybe a pen is missing of their desk or some slight changes happened at their job. Lashing out at everyone, expecting everyone else to go above and beyond for the job because they have nothing. I have managers pressuring me to work harder become a boss don't go part time, saying I'm being reckless. But I just want to find myself, have time for my boyfriend so I can decide if I want to marry him. I don't want to kill myself for a job, I don't want to feel trapped because "It's reality: "being miserable is apart of adult life" 😭😭 thanks for being someone to spread these messages, we don't have to be a slave to work. We can try to live!

Hands down best message on the internet. Can’t believe no one else is talking about this or able to articulate it the way Tim can.

I'm sailing through life while everyone around me has some stupid drama they chose for themselves.

Hustle culture and entrepreneurship is not for everyone. For some, their 9-5 is the dream. Bottom line you have to know whose and who you are. Tfs

I´ve always done what I want to do and what is best for me. Right now the best advice I have is to stop looking for a relationship. I´d always been in a relationship until 5 years ago for three decades I had a husband or a boyfriend. That´s when I realized that being single was my calling at the time. Try being single and proud of it. Not involved in any kind of sexual, romantic or live-in relationship. It´s amazing how much push back I get from society as I am a single female who people think should be attached. I am loving it and devote myself to god, to nature, to myself. It feels wonderful. I don´t know anyone who is in a relationship who is truly happy. I think the time has come for us to reach up to the energy of god.

After I left the Marines I started working a normal job again. After watching the older guys who have been working at my place for 15-20 years plus I secretly made up my mind. 1. I cannot let the little kid in me die in at a factory job. 2. I don’t want to waste 20 years or more of my life becoming pissed off that I wasted my young potential. 3. I don’t want my 401k so I don’t contribute to it. I don’t want my 401k telling me when I should retire (65). Instead in invest in stocks. 4. Coming from a Marine background I’m used to a team player work environment. In the civilian world it’s a “fxxx you, not my problem” mentality. It’s disgusting to see that.

This is so absolutely true! It is amazing to me how people judge a person for being different, even when the thing you are doing different has zero effect on them. I know for me it can be a mundane situation, like I don't eat much at all during breaks or lunch at work, and this triggers many questions and disapproval. It does seem if a person does not follow a norm it is upsetting. I believe if people can't get you into the heard mentality it is threatening , you are not conforming. Another, what you don't want 18 hours of mandatory overtime per week? Lol.

Everyone told me I was crazy for getting married to my wife when I was 18. They even tried to lie to me about her and tell me that she was engaged to someone else. Fifteen years later we are still together.

It's kinda like when an obscure musician gets popular, then their music gets "subjectively" worse. Pandering to the masses squashes authenticity.

Yup. We don’t go to the beach during the weekend. It’s too busy. We go during the week. I don’t like feeling herded like cattle.

Same goes for investing in real estate and stocks. Sell when everyone else is buying and buy whenever everyone is selling.

This is my favorite video of yours so far. I was just thinking about how everyone is trying to be an entrepreneur now, and feel a sense of dread about this. I think we know in our gut when things are not "right" yet the push to follow is hard to resist. Even with some of my closest friends who do give me valuable advice, I sometimes have to remember to ignore their advice and turn inside and follow the beat of my own drummer. I've had some very difficult struggles due to my own wiring of my brain and sometimes don't trust myself. Yet it is so true what you say. We have to learn to listen harder to our own inner voice. We all have wisdom whether we know it or not. Thanks so much for that reminder.

Most people want the stability and routine of working weekdays, 9-5. It also has to do with 'running' a family. I wanna have no routine and work other hours and other days, whenever I want to for any amount of time I like to. Don't wanna be part of the herd or be active when the herd is. Hate mainstream but it never rewarded me that I wasn't following the herd either.

Love these type of videos! DO THE OPPOSITE of everyone else! I went to Miami during the height of the 🦠 and LIVED LIKE A KING FOR A FEW WEEKS

You need to be careful when you follow the masses because often the "m" is silent!

*_Nothing Gets Paid Forward When You Follow The Crowd!_* 🥇 _~ Timothy Ward_

Keep being wild and free, man. ❤ Never lose your independent mind!

The scariest thing to observe, experience and realise is how little there is that obstructs your way and how many successful people are keen to helping you once they see that you are serious about your goals. The second scariest thing is to realise that 80% of people were too ADHD to read the 1st thing to the end.

In High School I played running back on the football team, I had some trouble running one particular play, finally my coach came to me and said, cut it back against the grain, next time we ran the same play, I cut against the grain and came success. Fast forward 30 + years, that advice is still relevant and transitioned over into my personal life

"The system isn't designed for you to succeed". Sad, crazy, upsetting...but completely true. It was at one point, I believe I was the last of the generations to actually "live" in that system. I'm 60, and I've done alright. But I don't know how the younger generations are going to make it. I really don't. Something has to give, but darn if I can tell what it's going to be. The Republicans and Democrats are in a fight, sucking the entire nation into it, and the only loser in the battle will be working americans.

Tim, I can not express how much I wish I could get to talk to you in real life. You are that kind of old uncle who gives really good advice. Keep up the great work.

Work - always worked weekends and holidays to get that extra money. To me it was a win win. Parks are not packed during the week. Doesn’t matter what day you do your holiday.

Great message! No one in the "normie" world gives this kind of advice, but it is the best. The scenery and beach there looks amazing too. Cheers! 🥰🔥👍

I definitely slid back in 2022 and I'm feeling stuck right now I have a lease that's not up until July and I have a nine-to-five job that pays fairly well but it's super stressful I have nothing left in me after the day to work on my side projects my brain is completely emptied out. Plus I have to work a lot of overtime just to get my work completed. I escaped the matrix back in 2015 that was the happiest I ever was. Now I'm so disheartened because I'm back scraping to get out.

society makes you guilty if you dont conform to the big group... they tell you that you are ill and need a therapy 😂

Love- my husband is obsessed with fishing. He signed up for tournaments for every weekend . I decided to travel for 3 months with the kids. I’m visit grandma in FL then my mom in Myrtle Beach. The kids are excited. So everyone thinks I’m crazy leaving my husband for 3 months. He can do what he wants and we can do what makes us happy.

I did conformity for 20 years in the Air Force. It got me where I am today. When I retired I had to get creative...had to get weird and unusual which is fine cuz I'm weird and unusual..found my happines out on the road working on big trucks and driving buses, despite having quite a bit of collegiate education when I left the military. I drive entertainer motorcoaches now and everyone wonders, " how did YOU get that job!?"😂 Work as much or as little as I like and pays ridiculously well.

Thank you Tim! Genuinely from the bottom of my heart! I've been living the conventional life lately. I know it works for some ppl but others it does not. I am fed up! All I wanna do is travel and make movie's, and vibe. Capitalism is a blessing and a curse. You have really changed my life and expanded my mind ever since stumbling on your channel in the year of our lord and savior 2019. Thanks for all that you do!!

I resonate to this....I'm the person who always "takes the road less travelled", so to speak and I have had made my life interesting and fun along the way - I've created my own happiness/happy life

I’m going to save the long message and thank you for your content. Just subscribed today and I’m on a path. You’re inspiring to say the least.

In summary, this goes with the saying that says: When we follow the crowd, we'll typically go no further than the crowd.

Ive been using the mindset of doing the opposite of others for awhile. Ive only experienced positive results. ✌🏿

For most of my life I played by the rules and I didn't see it getting me anywhere. I went back to school and got another degree in a field that I knew and enjoyed. I video chatted with some folks from my classes and I came to find out that a lot of them didn't seem happy in the positions they are in. Their expressions made me realize that I was better off working towards doing what I brings we joy then going along with the program. Grant you I still work at the same job I had while attending school but it allows me some ounces of freedom to work on other things and not be weight down by work. Going against the grain is not easy but necessary if you want to create the life you want.

That title is what I have been doing since before the time I have real memories of. The people telling me to follow their instructions were miserable, had to work all day, had no agency in their own decision making, and lived for work and paying bills. So yeah, I always knew that going against them was the way uphill while society is spiraling downwards. Now I live "in poverty" in a forest cabin, and will use my old camper to move to my new place literally up the mountains in a sunnier climate. More space, more quiet, and a view from my terrace that is nothing but mountains and forest and the ocean just beyond that. Sure, getting groceries will take some time and effort with a big backpack and a BMX, but I plan on growing a fruit forest to live of myself, and a vegetable garden to cook for my pack of rescue dogs. Space a plenty :D

“Mom, I want to sell everything and move to China!” “Aww you can’t do that! You cant do that!” LOL😂

Thank you Tim I really needed to hear this and I agree. Do the opposite of what everyone else is doing 😊

Very true and wise words, I relate. Be the anomaly!

Be the anomaly -Lecrae wrote a song 🎶 called Anomaly I have a jacket with that on the back…. Many read and do not understand “Sheep to the slaughter”

Tim, it is my "weekend" from retail work and I've just discovered you channel while I was thumbing through the usual van-lifer videos. For the last couple of years I have been plotting my escape from my current state of affairs. I just found your video on giving up on the American dream and I'm telling you, it was SO refreshing! I've tabbed the website for the Old Faithful and am excited to apply when the time is right for me. That seems like a place I would like to work. I am energized by the things you are saying; it really hits home. I want to feel free! Now I feel like I am really going to get serious on making change for my life; it's encouraging to see all the people who have commented on the various videos you've made. So many are making the change. We are all so inspired that you have taken the time to share your life experiences and throw ideas out there for future possibilities . . . . Thanks for all you do here on the Tube!

Jim Roger's, "Do the opposite of what everyone else does in order to get rich."

I found your page about a year go. I love the consistency and authenticity of your content. You always stay true to your mission and intent.

I feel everybody can bean entrepreneur BECAUSE There is an abundance of resources. Not everyone wants to be an Entepenure and that's okay.

Hello Mr . Timothy and everyone. Wow great Topic. I thought I was the only one doing the opposite of everyone else. Doing this for years …it’s rewarding!❤❤. Mr. Timothy the whole area you’re walking through is amazing. I know the whole area…..my Mom’s friend lives right off the Beach near that parking lot in a Gray & White House…..He’s a really cool Guy. I wish you could show us more around others at the Beach sure looks refreshing 👍🏿

I am so glad a lot of us are waking up to this true reality. Keep awakening brethren

I feel like I’ve always done things differently than others I have followed my gut which has led me to developing many skills and becoming more capable than anyone I know who’s my age. I have never valued the same things that the majority seems to value. And It has only made me lonely feeling like I don’t matter

I needed this message. Thank you so much!

So True! I went to work for the Casa Marina Key West in 2001, $750/Mo. for my bungalo right off of Whitehead street.

I have been trying to convince my family and friends about the abundance given from the universe. I have totally lived my life with this belief for the last 12 years and I can testify I have been totally provided for with pure joy 😊

Amen to that. I certainly work 40 plus hours a week sometimes more, but I'm still a deadbeat according to my dad because my sister works less but is very successful. More me success just meant working harder for me and it was killing me. I still work for a living, but I'm done with this consumer driven society. Now I volunteer and invest in serving my church and helping others because when I help them, they also help me and that means so much more to me then money.

I told someone I looked up to when i was 13 AND DUDE SAID DON'T MAKE MUSIC NOW I HAVE HUNDREDS OF FANS GOTTA DO YOU

Unfortunately not everyone has the mind frame required to do this. With that said people are also always able to change for better or for worse. But this is very well said my brother and a great message. Many blessings 🙏🏾

This is my favorite content ever, thank you so much tim :)

I agree with you, but I think you have to define your terms, I.e. success, having more.

Always follow your gut- Timothy Ward

been having this mindset since a kid tim lol an people always ask man how you stay so happy all the time it can be 5:00AM at wrk im laughing an playing...i never let society push me into a life i didnt want ...you right good good message !

This is what I’ve been sayinngggggg. Whatever is done in mass is NOT special

The Sub mind doesn’t speak English, but it speaks to us and we understand it 😮😮in our own language

"because they can't speak english". Wow, that is something I also think for a long time. I always wondered why my dreams are full of metaphors and allegories. Then I thought: "Maybe because the subconscious does not speak a language like we do but a language with images and associations..."

i have no words... all i can say is.. yes

Everything starts out with the highest purpose, the highest vibration. Eventually mass consciousness drags it down in vibration.

It always does Tim. In one way or another. Life always works out better. One way or another.

This is what they ought to be teaching kids in school instead of programming them/us to follow the system!

This is one of my favorite videos by you, Tim!

If I do something different I’d get in trouble😝❤️

In my life right now I’m just trying to figure out where God wants me 🤷‍♀️ and right now I just want to be close to him and work on my sobriety it’s what is more important mental health and my body and what I put into it. God wants me to focus on healing my body right now. So that’s that. Just kind of waiting on the next steps but also just taking action.

I miss these types of videos. The couldn’t keep up with the lives.

I love this and have thought this too. I’m just working on implementing it more. I think that’s why I get so bored so fast.

Guru Tim with the hard hitting life advice!! Thanks for posting this

Timothy, thank you for the insight. Everything you say makes perfect sense.

Tim always coming up with good angles!

Too true! When you are trailblazing, there's no one to ask advice! Great talk, Tim. It really resonated with me. And beautiful scenery too. Keep being your authentic Self 🙂

(Unless it is actually a bad idea) If someone tells you that something is "stupid" or "doesn't work," that idea may take you the distance you wanted to travel in life (money, fulfillment, satisfaction, peace of mind, etc.). Besides, following the crowd generally leads to more depressive states compared to following your own rainbow, dreams, and desires. Thank you, Timothy. I'm learning how to move around, be more flexible, and be nomadic in my mind, body, and spirit. Your content is so simple, yet somehow hits so hard. This is what I love to describe as "having a free spirit!"

My parents raised me and my 3 brothers to work hard and not promoted this false victimhood in today's society. I used to drive Greyhound buses for 15 years and now I'm driving trucks now. I met my wife in the Philippines in 2002 and got married in 2010 and we are still married, my parents been married to each other for 33 years. Thank you very much Timothy!

I did the same thing last january. Rented a condo right on the beach in panama city beach for an entire month. It was only $2000 since it was off season. Loving my child free life!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Yeah that condo is probably like 2000 a week or more during peek season.

Quit looking and you will find the right person for you

Powerful message.

we all have our reality we just don't live it

SO TRUE TIM!!! DO WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO DO!!! AND YOU WILL SEE THE DIFFERENCE!!! THANKS FOR SHARING ANOTHER GREAT MESSAGE!!!🙏🏽❤️👍🏾👍🏾

I knew this for a long time for the hotels. Don't go on vacation when everyone is doing it. You get the masters room in hotels for a cheap price.

I'm not willing to participate in the definition of insanity. If I did it and it didn't work for me, then it's a wrap. I'm not scared to live life on my terms. Im scared to live it on the system's terms.

When everyone's selling their stocks cheap, that's when I'm buying! Contrarianism FTW!

So you working there or just taking some time off. We always going camping during the week.

Wonderful advice

A message worth listening to✊🏽

Great video...there you go "Tim-centric" OK I'm gonna be "Deb-centic"!!!!

Love the channel! Love the video I can’t help but feel this way doing the opposite sounds like the right thing to do but no one else thinks so! My family has been in Oklahoma for so long I’ve traveled to some awesome places that I’d like to move too that’s my goal! To be nomadic

We stayed at a condo in Gulf Shores, Alabama for the whole month of December and part of January and it was absolutely amazing Back to the rat race now and it absolutely sucks, lol

Kinda like the tiny home movement. Everyone is into now so the prices have sky rocketed and way more municipal regulations to stop it. Back in 2012 it was the coolest thing and cheap!

WOW - this video literally spoke directly to ME!

Did Pamela go teaching English in Thailand 🇹🇭? That honestly sounds so cool 😎

When everyone started opening car factories, I started learning how to build horse carraiges. Hasn't quite worked out for me. 😅😂

"Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed." - Terence McKenna

To find another brother named similar to myself with such a similar mindset is insane 8:05

I agree with you but society has been locked into the fear of I CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT A 9 TO 5 JOB and thus, we become slaves to our own fears.

Couldn't agree more 👏

Great topic Tim feels as you were specifically talking to me.
