I reakon you could do a modern sunscreen song and it be a big it if you never hear it look it up its called sunscreen song it's advice that still resinates with me today
I read a quote in a magazine the other day that said only 10% of every thing is really real,... the rest of the 90% of everything is complete BS, I believe this.
what? even if i go by what you have said then intelligence brings about intellect which then can bring about the skepticism excreta meaning its essentially the same thing no? how is intelligence infinite? how can you tell as if its infinite you wouldn't be able to measure it to know its infinite? "Intelligence is infinite, meaning any measure of it, no matter how small or big, is every measure of it." so if i measure 1kg of flour i know how much flour there is in the world? or do you mean more along the lines of if you measure one kg of flower you understand what 1 kg of flower is hence can apply the measurements (volume,mass,weight) to the rest of the flour? "Intelligence, will and spirit are one and the same" no they are not, its why their definitions are so different.
when Fedor was tearing through the world of mixed martial arts there was this thing he said “Years ago we hardly had anything to eat. Now I earn more money and I see every opponent as a man that tries to put me back to that poorer period. That man has to be eliminated.” he went almost 10 years undefeated.
AFGalwayz Thats a nice quote. Thank you for sharing. It’s sortve similar in a way to Conors quote when he said to Eddie that he’d need an army to take the belts from him.
Everyone saying i want to make my "Dreams come true" or i hope i reach my "Dreams" on day. Exchange the word dream with goals. And you'll see how much faster you'll get what it is that you want.
In reality, nothing matters. There is no true/ultimate purpose in this universe. This is the true gift of this existence as you are given an empty slate and you can make of it whatever you choose. We are birthed into a meaningless existence and we are allowed to form our slate to our choosing. In time however, everything goes away. In time you will die as will your legacy and anything you have ever created. In a purposeless universe, the only thing that becomes meaningful are the experiences we have as we have them. Live in the present and follow your passions without second thought or doubt. Remember, it is not the outcome that matters, it is simply the experience. If you are afraid of a negative outcome, fear not, we are all already dead anyways.
I have multiple sclerosis... I can't find the words to Express the suffering this disease is through the fact that the m and s r highlight in ur name make me feel the divine nature in life My travels on the internet brought me here ur voice and message is very powerful I'm very grateful for u and ur words
You expressed exactly what I'm going through. I had a plan, for reasons it was destroyed and I felt empty. It was always one goal, black and white. I had a purpose I was proud of and nothing else mattered... Once that was gone I realized... I don't know what I want now, I've never been told what I actually want is possible. It's always what's logical and a guarantee, as if there are guarantees in anything. We all live and die. One chance to go for it. Telling someone "don't try because one in a million make it." Even if that's the case it's the reason people don't believe in themselves and most never attempt things they very well may be able to do. We are not taught to be smart, only smart enough to do our jobs. We are not taught to ask question's... only know the answers to the questions we are asked. It truly is the journey not the destination that matters. I wish someone had told me that years ago. All the children out there that parents tell you you can't do something... know that your parent is just an unhappy person and never went after their dreams... what they are saying does not automatically become fact because they are your parent and an adult. And they are 100% wrong. It slowed me down, dont let it slow you. And even if you do fail that does not mean that attempt wasn't worth it I'd rather go after what I want and fail than be at some shit job that I hate and never wanted in the first place. At the minimum you will grow.
Thanks so much for this video! You made me realize that even if i feel i dont really have a purpose in this life, you have given me the motivation to work hard and be successful to give back to the people who have given so much too me.
A man threatened to kill my kids, 4 men came with him...5 down, one dead, bare hands, untouched. The power of the Source and truth of Universal Law always has your back when you fight in truth.
This video made me cry man. I know what it is I need to do, and I'm going to fight so I can give back to those that have given up so much for me: my partner, my mother, my daughter, my family. Straight up, thank you man! Love and strength, Rich
Best channel on RU-vid. You have helped me get clean from heroin, I'm not even kidding. Your movies are so inspiring and motivating. Plz keep up the amazing work!
Dang this is why I miss the Army so much. my since of purpose, was for my brothers. but my disability will never hold me back. thanks for the inspiration brother!
This is the best video in a long time, TRUTH, i am in tears. Thank you brother. You have amazing ability to communicate the most difficult things to communicate, keep it coming. Love.
I love your videos so much. Every single one of them. You inspire me, you motivate me and you make me believe that I'm capable of doing things I thought I can't. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos. 👏
Mindsmash thank you for this life lesson. I love your breakdowns. I love these stories even more! Honestly this story you have displayed has made my life better in everything that I do! I am providing for my family in a greater way and have lost all fear when it comes to my purpose.I value these life lessons, please continue to post these with your breakdowns. You have pushed great value into the world and it is received kindly here. Thank you
This is some of your best work sir! I appreciate your channel and what you do. You may never know the great impact you have on the lives who watch this. This is truly your purpose to motivate and excite others. You truly excel at it sir. I like the puzzle pieces of information you connect and the conclusions you draw sir. For that I say thank you.
This was the second time watching this video. Once a few years ago. After watching just about every one of your video's and enjoying the depth of the philosophy that you go into. I have literally just been hit with the utmost feeling of self-satisfaction and worth for the suffering and pain that I've endured for the life that I've been given. I'm grateful for all of it. And I didn't realise how strong I had become when I accepted that It was best to cry this feeling out as I listened to the emotion and the spirit flow through your voice my man..(no homo). We take this life we have for granted. And I've been slowly adjusting to new idea's and perceptions of how I should be and live my life for the better everyday as much as possible. Your videos have helped me through a whole lot of bad times and made me connect the dots on a WHOLE lot of Martial arts strategy and advanced bunkai (meaning) behind the techniques or simple stances. Keep doing what your doing! You should really post more philosophy on the dark aspects of combat and the frame of mind one must venture to be able to protect oneself and close ones. The mind set of a controlled killer is what I'd put it as. Not emotionless, atleast all the time. But the so to say state of mind that Miyoto Mushashi would be in prior to unsheathing his sword to slay his foe in one fatal blow. To be killed, or to kill. The Force of nature a man can become is incredible. Love the video's man!
I love you so much bro, always greatful for your art. It makes me better every day and even when I feel alone and trapped mentally its like your videos free me and make me my pure self again. That breeds physical and existential strength bro, which is greatness in the end. Thank you
mate I will honestly say this video and your words were very powerful in this video. I broke my back and I'm rehabbing it, its fucked it hurts etc. but this video made me get up and work a little harder today push a bit further. Still trying to find my purpose, maybe this is it at the moment
not many people have a sense a purpose. A sense of purpose is the greatest motivation and meaning. Thanks for the impassioned post. You inspired one man at least.
Steven Elliott,Jr. I struggled with this for years. but I now know as I had feared that there is no purpose. If there was a purpose, once you has achieved it what then? No more purpose! This sounds contradictory but is not. It's only the words that are contradictory, but, life is the purpose, to live is the purpose. You can create purpose if you chose, do whatever you want, but just live' experience life. life it's self is the purpose.
In a time where I truly doubt my ability to chase my dreams, you help remind me that as long as I believe in myself, learn to be patient, have the courage to face danger and be passionate with purpose. When I succeed, you’ll be part of the reason why.
My, God, man. I don't write comments oftenly, but you formulated this so awesomely. These things I knew in my heart and mind, but formulating it so awesomely, you give it a totally new, really amazing perspevtive. 🔥🔥👑
I can't begin to express how much this video and all mindsmash videos effect me. This video is so deep and hits everything I feel on every level. True words have never been spoken. I'm a 29 year old recovering heroin addict and its videos like these that help me stay strong for my baby boy. Thank you for these videos
you are absolutely right but i think most of all what makes a man truly dangerous is when he has the sense of that he has nothing to lose and he is in the state of zen . love your videos brother keeps me calm !
Evry morning i wake up whot anxiety my stomach hurt like hell. But the only thing calming me down ia your voice and the tone of it and all the mwaning behinde what you say is incredible !! Keep it up bro
I've been subscribed to you since you had under 1,000 subscribers man and it's just crazy to see how far you've come. Ever since your channel started your channel has helped me in my journey of self improvement and self discovery. Keep doing what you're doing man. You're helping a lot of people
I need this much love and respect man you have changed my life for the great possible outcome I'm very thank ful much appreciation I dont have much but I have these videos that inspire me for boxing thanks again
Good stuff... fear of failure or being alone can either make you freeze or motivate you. Right now, it's a big motivator for me in pursuit of all my goals.
You mentioned briefly the importance of our capacity to work together but I think what is more important than that is the capacity to work Alone as a man.
The messages you talk about in this video connect perfectly with a book I just finished reading written by Sebastien Yunger, it's called Tribe. I had a very difficult time transitioning back to civilian life after 6 years on active duty one tour to Iraq in 06 and another to Afghanistan in 2009. Our society, American in particular. We are creating division between us no longer placing the good of our society above our own selfish needs. Coming back to a society, after fighting and losing brothers and sisters, just to return to society that has no sense of the good of the whole above ones own. Is why many of my brother's and sisters are turning to drugs alcohol and suicide. Thank you for this lesson sir. I hope to help my fellow veterans and in doing so better my society.
that was beautiful, i needed that. going thru a rough patch in life and didn't know what to do or what i needed to do..all i need is purpose. thank you man i now have a direction i can take. i usually dont comment on vids but that was inspiring for me. i appreciate it and you earned a sub from me sir.
I recently came across your channel, and rarely comment, but this video was truly something special. Lack of purpose is something that has really bothered me lately, and something I feel many people can relate to. You've reinvigorated me to find purpose, to find meaning, and for that, I sincerely thank you. Subbed, liked, and shared.
Great talk well said. The only negative and something we all need to face is that we are demasculated by women finding their purpose and their strength to fight their battles. We are unmanned by other men who seek to control us ad all mankind. Our why will be found together as we face the future. Good luck.
Been going through some depression recently and trying to find that why in life. Just turned 20 years old and have no clue what I'm doing in life. This video really shed some light man and gave me motivation. Thank you man I appreciate this video.
Another great analysis. To the point, and full of facts. Its great to see your same thoughts spoken as you do clearly. Enforces your purpose. Thank you.
Am I the only one who believes that you really should right a book of some sort or make a hole series dedicated to subjects like anxiety, purpose and so on... You sir are amazing. Cheers from Greece and keep up with the amazing work
