Great inspiration of self reflection example for real genuine quality of simply being and thoughtfulness in representative dynamics! Awesomeness. Woohooo!
“He who squints his eyes in search has obscure vision.” This was very moving for me. A little reminder to feel comfortable with being your current self as you are
Wow, just quit my job today and came across this video. God will always lead you in the right direction, get to know Him and trust Him always! Matthew 6:33
"You can do anything you put your mind to." Only legitimate lesson i learned from my father before he left. It's arguably the most powerful tool on this planet.
For anyone reading this, know that you are meant to live a life you truly love. If you’ve felt like you wasted so much time, know that Source is not confined to time and nothing is ever a waste. It was preparing you for this very moment.
I feel like we are all coming to this realization. We are all connected and it's important to stay in tune with ourselves and the universe. This is the great awakening.
This was beautiful, popped up on my suggestions and I was drawn to it. So glad I stuck around to hear your words of wisdom. Currently in a weird rough patch but trying to find the strength and courage to continue to pursue my dreams and understand who I am and my role in this world. Again thank you for your motivational words.
Weird how this entire video aligns with my current journey and I almost didn’t click on it… Love how you were able to convey exactly what I’ve been thinking and feeling, but also things I have been trying to implement in my present for a better future. Thank you. 🙏🏽
I am in the exact same situation, weird. I'm trying the isolation part he talked about right now. No dating, no activities with friends and no partying, just focusing on my grind. It's scary how peaceful this is...
"I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5
“Loving only the dream brings no stability “ Bro that was the line that hit me ❤ This helped a lot man. And I hope everything going good for you man. You a reall good guy man👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥
13:19 this hit hard. it really made me realise that I am the one paving my life, so why should I care about what others think? This is the only life that I get to experience in this body, soul and mind, no one else will ever be who I am. thank you for this video, it helped a lot
Ive struggled for so long with being vulnerable. I'm constantly in my thoughts and have a hard time committed to anything. This video didn't just pop up for no reason. Thank you
You know the saying "when the student is ready, the teacher appears" that's how I feel about certain people, places, conversations that show up in our lives. So many opportunities to learn. It was super refreshing to listen to what you had to share. So relatable. I'm a mom of two teenagers and I shared your video with both my kids. I think as we journey through making sense of the world and understanding ourselves, hearing experiences like yours - is comforting. Thank you - truly. May you continue to be blessed and guided on your path young man.
I’m 17 and I’m going through something that I can’t explain. It’s not the obvious teen thing, but a shift in my mental, and spirituality. For me, something that I’ve been doing is getting closer with Jesus, and getting that motivation to do what I want to do and be successful. I don’t want to be alone in the future and be unhappy. I’ve came to the realization that I am stuck with myself from the day I was born to the day I die, so I need to learn to love myself, and appreciate what God has given me. This vid has popped up on my feed for a reason, and I really appreciate you making this. It’s helped me stay motivated. Thank you. God bless:)
your stuck in a place where the old you is still there but you still haven't figured out who the new you is. I'm 29 and have felt this for years, like i meant for more. its hard to explain but surround yourself with like-minded people who feel the same way. its a game changer whether you find them in person or through social media. it's a magically thing having people just understand you.
I was in the same shoes bro and still find myself there and I just recently turned 21. What helped me was going out trying new things and discovering new things that I liked and eventually I’ve come to enjoy life because I’m finally finding myself. I was once suicidal in a dark spot. But now I’m more than happy. I have the car I always wanted, I met a beautiful girl and I found god. Just know bro everything will fall into place, it just takes time. If you ever need to reach me I can give you my IG or whatever. God bless you bro and I hope you get to read this.
I’m 17 too and Until right now I thought that I could possibly be the only person experiencing this. A Few weeks ago I subconsciously had a shift in my mental and spiritual aswell. It’s taking a positive effect on my physical. With this mental shift also came A Purified and new self righteous motivation, Producing Greater results For myself both physically and mentally. For example, I changed my diet and lost 20 pounds, before this happened I might’ve gotten tempted into breaking that diet with a single bag of chips or candy then I gradually realized I lost that sense for temptation of things I know isn’t right for my mind or body. I’ve always had a Healthy relationship with Jesus but I haven’t always had a healthy relationship with myself. I would do things that wouldn’t allow me to break free of what’s holding me back even though I knew better. I Talk to Jesus and I feel his presence greater now all the time. I Knew that I hated things about myself, things that aren’t necessarily easy to change, but the self hate isn’t there anymore only action. This new motivation is everything that I needed to become the definitive best version of myself. And I’m So Happy God didn’t patch divine timing in this universe because this Video is Definitely A Sign of something far greater For myself because their is no way that this perfectly represents and is aligned my Mental.
I don’t know who you are and this is the first piece of your content that I’ve ever encountered. I’m turning 30 next month. I’ve been so weary and given up on myself so much, resented myself for settling, and trying to navigate life as I continue to journey forward. There’s something about this video that is almost nostalgic- as if it is ancient wisdom being dispensate through such a young a vibrant vessel. Thank you for reminding me that thought, feelings, and rumination is beautiful, so also is action. Doing instead of trying. I’ve been living in my head for so long I’m trying to remember what it is to actually live life- or as you say, being the life. Being in the moment, not in your head. I am not alone. Thank you for seeing me and thank you for being brave enough to share yourself with the world. We need you.
I use to buy his sports plays for like $10 $20 in 2022 bruh wants 10 bands now crazy and I still have doubts he legit if I have 100k I’ll take a risk but get 10 bands and risk it all hell no
Woah . I had resigned my 9-5 at the start of this week and this is my top recommendation. This resembles with me incredibly. I’ve lived so comfortably and know I’m not at my full potential. This is powerful man. I know where I want to be. & Where I will go
It’s crazy because I don’t even watch these entire videos but I’m going through such a transitional period in my life this is what I needed to hear. I hope I can pour as much into me as I do into others and stop being my only/own worst enemy!
This is also divine timing because I’m just now overcoming ways of thinking that have kept me opposed. I’m finally feeling liberated from my own thoughts of fear and acting on faith . Self love and acceptance is doing what makes me feel good regardless of how I’m perceived. I love myself 1st
Jesus Christ saved my life he can save yours to. No body is perfect we all have sinned fallen short of the glory of God, except Jesus Christ. So he was the perfect sacrifice for the world and he became that sacrifice. So that we can be perfect in God’s eyes all we need to do is. Repent from our sinful wicked ways and surrender our life’s to him. Jesus Christ. Repent meaning acknowledge and forsake your sins. Know you have sinned and know you are not good in God’s eyes. (Until you accept his gift of salvation. You will be seen perfect in his eyes because Jesus Christ paid the price.)Forsake meaning do not sin. (You may stumble but just rely on the Lord he’s got you in Jesus name.) We have to be clean and filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said we must be born again of the spirit to enter The Kingdom of Heaven. (John 3:3) ! God bless you all. I love you all may you all find Jesus Christ as your Lord Savior . God bless brothas and sisters ❤❤! Thank God ❤️😊

I love how this video was very organic. It was just like a conversation. No music, no editing, no intro or outro. It's just you and your thoughts. Good to see something different. You we're yourself and being yourself always wins!
Dont say: „I wish There was More People are This and that…“ instead be that person for others cause if everyone would be like they Want Others to be we would live in a much better world
Just watching this video outside really changed me. I felt that I could just take a breather. Man you are helping a lot of people. I feel like we are scared of the next step we are scared of rejection. Anyone can do it. Me, you guys. The world. Another thing hit me to why don’t we wanna go up make the next move. Because we’re scared that people will not include us. If you are just nice to people they will respect you! Make someone’s day. Don’t make them fell like ass. Plus if we get rejected is it like we will remember it? We only have a 100 years? Live the life you were made to!
this is definitely what i needed . you’ve given me so much drive to go ALL IN , even with me starting my new youtube & navigating myself through highschool attempting to maintain staying true to my personal values & breakthroughs on my self discovery journey ! thank you so much i will continue to watch your videos they provide me with so much warmth & hospitality
People hate to be alone because they fear they will miss out on what everyone else is doing. They care more about being apart of this physical world than experiencing what GOD and the spiritual realm has to offer.
Quiet and humble wisdom, often unassuming and gentle, offers a profound depth that resonates more deeply than the loudest voices in a pretentious world. Keep Evolving Profound Pondering👏🏾
This is a lovely comment on a lovely video. Reminds me of a quote from Gandalf: « I find it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay… small acts of kindness and love "
"You learn a lot from your reactions to other people..." Man.. that hit home bro. Thank you for this video. I needed to hear this. Even though I know it internally, I needed to hear it at this time in my life. Thank you.
Great message! Crazy how when you need to see something it will be shown to you! “Focusing on the bad things about you, will lose sight of the good things” great wording and tons of prevalence!
“You don’t fear solitude as much as you fear who you are in solitude” A WORD!!!!!! We need a snapping emoji lol. But you are preaching some reallllll facts!
"your enough now" I need to tell myself that. Felt like most of my life I wasnt enough but at the same time too much. Always trying to be what other people would appreciate, Never stopped to think about what I like and what I want. As an adult, I do try to be open about who i am as a person but It comes with a lot of self hatred. I was convinced that in order to be loved, I needed to be overly critical with myself. I couldnt like myself until I earned it. I realize now all I needed was to be told I was enough and will always be enough. I didnt need strict discipline, I just needed love. Spent so many years not just hurting myself physically but mentally as well. The way I treated myself is something I couldn't even imagine doing to someone else. I think about that a lot. If I wouldn't even do this to another person, why am I doing it to myself?
I can relate to you. Sometimes I feel like I’m not enough and not seen but at the same time I’m too much? Also I keep seeking validation from people although I don’t want to.. What I’ve been doing is praying and talking to the Lord about it. I’m learning that what He thinks of me and how He sees me is way more important than what other people think of me. I get this sense of peace when I talk to Him about how I’m struggling because I know he hears me and He will eventually deliver me from this.
@@og-mu2rwme too. you’re not alone. let’s all do something about this yeah? why are we forcing ourselves to be miserable because we think we haven’t felt enough pain?
Man I feel like I am on that journey. I came across this video and I think I felt comfort seeing you express such joy in your journey. I want to feel like that by the end of 2024.
Our Father in Heaven has called me to join the spiritual battle.Hallelujah.He has called me as a messenger. To use me as an instrument. Calling all MESSENGERS IN THE NAME OF GOD to help support. We on a mission to save souls. God loves you all.
this definitely found me at the right time. have been feeling so anxious in taking the next step in life, uncomfortable of the outcome but i know now i have to just “start being the life instead of seeing it”. so thank you so much man, god bless!!💗
This video found me at the perfect time - I have spent years running from my negative thoughts when all along I have had the power to confront them. Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much for making the content you make. This is the type of material that I needed to hear. Keep doing what you’re doing, your videos are helping grow as a person. Thank you so much. Keep prospering and stay blessed.
This video really could not have come at a more perfect time in my life. I am 22 turning 23 on Febuary 8th and just to say the least without getting into specifics but my 22 year old life has been the biggest eye opening and an extreme wake up call on my life. You have really brought me to tears and ultimately motivated me to become the best version of myself and I will write this message as a binary signature as my promise to fulfill that and enjoy every aspect that life has to offer while I embark on this journey. Thank you very much I wish the best to you and anyone who reads this!
i just ugly cried. as an 18 year old black man i needed this push more than everything. i didn’t just relate, it’s like you watched how my life was going and gave me this advice. this just did more for me than my overthinking could ever do. thanks man, don’t even know you and i appreciate your soul.
This message found me exactly on time, three days after I started implementing changes in my life I've thought of doing for so long. I've started realizing this in my own life after years of self reflection and healing. I finally feel courageous enough to do it. For so long I waited for the universe or someone else to give me permission to feel a way about things, to take action on things. In that way I've been giving my power away to things outside of me. Thank you for making this and sharing: a lot of us needed this sign. You've just inspired so many people to take that leap of faith. I resonated so much with everything you said. ❤️😌 (Edit: I just noticed the video is at 44K likes. 44 and 444 are angel numbers I've been seeing EVERYWHERE. This message was definitely divinely guided ❤)
This is such a beautiful message. I definitely needed this reminder. You are so real and so raw and super inspiring. I had these realizations in the past couple of months myself. I love what your doing and I just want to encourage you to keep doing what your doing. Thank you for your message 💛
This is me fr... Thinking too much about life instead of living so I'm in a predicament of being stuck and not living. Sometimes i wish i could be dumbed down and not be so aware. I believe this all stems down from growing up with woman and not my father because i have no direction in life and im stuck with so many options that i literally don't know what to do because im overthinking, "will i be happy down this road, is this what i want to really do?" Questions. Internets a curse and a blessing... Thanks bro
I kept seeing this video in my feed and I didn’t think anything of it until I saw it for the 3rd time. Currently 25 in school trying to chase a couple passions but that’s the thing. Ur right. I’m trying but not doing well that changes today. Thank you for all of this I cried my eyes out towards the middle cus u said the words I needed to hear. I’m finally starting to do what I want to do and it’s so fulfilling but I know I can go harder. Thank you for this amazing video and keep doing what ur doing. I’ll never forget you 💖
This really resonated with me. I closed my eyes and let the audio play. And I felt my higher self, that already knows these things and knows better, looking me in the eyes as you talked. I forgot to surrender to the present and to stop fighting with time so much. I forgot to love this version of me, that is unfamiliar in the mirror, because I miss the old me and want to change for the better so bad. I forgot to love the girl who is doing all the work. I forgot to love the only life that she lives in currently. Thank you ❤🎉
Thank you for this, man. I’ve been really trying to connect with myself and my place in the world, and your tone and perspective just bolsters my resolve. Godspeed, and I hope the man you see in the mirror is the amazing, forever changing specimen you present yourself to be.
Damn, bro! That's the spirit! Loving yourself is largely misinterpreted. I am also an aspiring musician and an athlete as well. Also, I am dealing as well with all kind of fears and limiting thoughts. However, 5 months ago I have started a spiritual journey to my inner self, and I am still shocked at how many layers of conditioning and prejudice I have shed and still am during regular meditations and empathic introspection. Once your focus turns to your authenticity and realize that we are all in the same boat, after all, and that all those so-called "failures" are actually the compass to your actual achievements, only then we are all one step ahead toward our true identity. It is obviously not an accident that the algorithm brought you on my recommendations list. Spread the love and keep up the good work! We're all gonna make it!
@@profoundpondering8575 great video man! I've been seeing so many signs and the universe is connecting me with so many like minded people! Sending both u guys strength and love! I'm striving for me dream life on my channel as well!
"I like feeling like the highest version of myself, and that all starts with realizing where you want to be, and where you want to go. I feel like that's the power of the present moment, that's the power of right now, you know? Who we are is nothing but the reaction to our external circumstances and stimulus. Control the reaction you control the person. You control how you react to yourself, how you react to your own thoughts... You essentially change who you are." Powerful stuff man, thank you for sharing. 🙏
Thank you love, this was very comforting to hear someone else understand such thoughts and offer advice. The fear of failing and/or being seen failing can be overwhelming. One can overcome it, chase our passions and enjoy the journey we find in it. I think I wanna take that step to just do
This is something I have been deeply thinking about for weeks now and working on myself to be a better version of me and to truly be me and i've seen change in myself since then but hearing it from someone else really helped get it to that 100% that I needed. Great video, keep doing what you're doing.
“Treat yourself like someone you’re trying to help” This really resonated with me because more often than not I feel like I’m pouring my energy into other people so that I can cope for me not pouring energy back into myself. I have a hard time validating or proving to my own brain that I am worth it. That I’m worth being taken care of. More often than not I feel guilty for even wanting better for myself and your words reminded me that this isn’t based in fact and isn’t reality. I owe it to myself to show up for myself and in a way that I would be proud of. In a way that would reflect the way that I show up for my friends and family. It doesn’t make it any less hard, but your words are helping push me in the right direction, so thank you.
Wow man needed to hear that. Im in a season of isolation. Girlfriend broke up after years together. Lost connection to close friends but being alone I find peace and God. Im growing a lot spiritually but I seem to fall back on old patterns of jumping on dating apps because I still find it uncomfortable to be completely alone without much connection. This made me think I need to start loving myself more and love getting to know why I like the way I am and not trying to find validation outside of myself. Its a tough journey but I feel a purpose in it.
I am in the exact same boat bro. I live alone, all my friends and fam hundreds of miles away. But like you I keep a good attitude the whole time through the hardship. I'm with you, friend. We got this!
It’s uncomfortable but take it one step at a time. Your feeling to go jump to the next thing is showing you why it’s time to embrace being alone. It’s hard at first and some days are tricky but it’s so worth it. You’ll learn to love it and get to know yourself
@@AsiaRomaria "You’ll learn to love it and get to know yourself" This is great advice and very true. Many are not prepared for the good and the bad of learning about yourself. Being alone prevents you from distracting yourself from your reality and forces you to confront it to overcome. I always remind myself that the bad parts are only temporary. Like you said, you do eventually learn to love it.
I feel like this is exactly how I’ve been feeling lately-the level of comfort in how I express myself has felt lower lately. This makes me feel encouraged to keep pushing towards where I want to be, in the present moment. Thank you for this great video.
i usually don’t comment under videos 😂but i thank God i came across your video this morning. yesterday, i asked two of my friends what was something they’d change about me. one said he liked me the way i was & the other said he didn’t know, so i’m like y’all just don’t wanna hurt my feelings. then the one who said he didn’t know said, “no I really wouldn’t change anything about you except you need to stop caring so much about what others think” & my other friend said “yeah, that’s true but it’s also a good thing because that means you care about people.” lol, i really realized i wasted so much time & skills caring about what others think or might possibly think that i held my own self back. your video really hit home & altered my mindset in a way it needed to be altered to do the things I want to do & i will. thank you & God bless.
“You learn a lot from YOUR reactions to OTHER people” 11:25 🔥🔥❤️ I love that bro. I may be sitting here in a parking lot listening to this.. but hearing that made me sit up and smile. It clicked. Thank you brother.
Well said my friend. I needed this as I am about to start my brand new job literally tomorrow. For a few days now, I felt numb and a sense of nothingness. But now I understand I need to take this opportunity and run with it grow, better myself. Going All In!! Thank you!
I found your channel last night, and man I have been in a funk for a minute but I feel like your talking is slowly bringing back to a good mindset, I appreciate it fr. Keep on speaking your truth!!!
I struggle with sexual addiction, and last night, I fell asleep while listening to a video that spoke about how to deal with my issues. It was mentioned that instead of praying for sexual thoughts and urges to go away, I flee from the situation(essentially get away from the location that allows those urges to be acted out. My church minister had mentioned something about fleeing from certain situations and putting faith into action. Now I'm blessed with seeing your video, too. Keep making more content, my man! We really are the only ones that will be here for ourselves 100% of the time.
I really don't think you should pray for sexual urges to go away at all. That makes it sound as if the only way to help yourself is outside via God etc. It isn't. Ther's a cultural reason why you're addicted to sex (it's advertised everywhere) but there is also an emotional a psychological reason. Sex means more than the act to you, it's something else that you are craving. Is it power? Is it status? I have love addiction and what I know about addictions is that they can never be satisfied. That hunger is a craving for something else but it has chosen whatever you can alleviate easily. If I were you, I would start therapy. It's a legitimate addiction and there is a sort of 12-step process, as with alcohol addiction. Also look into meditation and buddhism especially. Buddhism is great because it gives you ways of dealing with the human body and mind. I'm officially Catholic but Buddhism has given me more. What are you running from? Are you in a relationship and trying to cheat or something?
@bluebellbeatnik4945 I will look into the Buddhism meditation. It stems from long-term exposure to sex/porn and self isolation. I've been going to counseling for a little while now and have learned that porn usage for me stems from being exposed to it from my parent at a very young age, and it being an aid for high levels of stress and anxiety. I'm an extremely insecure person and have never felt like anyone wanted/needed me in regards of sex/romance. Porn needs people every day to keep operating. Thus, a nasty habit was birthed quite some time ago. I finally developed the courage to seek help and work on refocusing my mind on other activities that don't involve porn.
I needed to hear this, thank you for being part of my journey to self expression, and self appreciation. I ain’t gonna keep holding myself back, I’m gonna take the steps forward I’ve been so anxious about. I’ve changed so insanely much this year, mentality wise and I’m not done yet. Gonna take every opportunity for growth, because I want to flourish. I’m ready to make change happen, rather than wait for it.
This is the perfect time to see this video, my philosophy on life has changed greatly this last month and I've never been able to encapsulate any of it into words and not only did you do it for me, but you also helped me realize that its not even about putting it into words because these shifts in thoughts can be more a shift in feelings.
i’ve always loved writing and learning new ways to elevate my state of mind and being. writing is an easy way for me to process new things i want to integrate on my journey to consciously create the life for myself that i know i’m worthy of. so the last few days, i was writing about reaction and how it’s the determining factor to how you take life in… and i stumbled today upon your absolutely beautiful way of explaining what i was writing about!!! i love it. your every word choice is on point with what i’ve been needing to hear! ❤
Great video. The part where you talked about how you used to feel envious and found that a partial reason you felt that way was because of how you felt about yourself, got me thinking and I realized that envy only exists when you feel you can’t have what the person you are envious of has. If you truly believe you can get what that person has too, envy would never exist. The envy exists only because of the insecurity you have within yourself of not being able to attain what said person has. Like Russ said, “You ever seen a confident person get offended by someone else’s confidence? Me either.”
These messages are so valuable! I wished I’d watched this 3 times in 2011, but I’m happy to know you’re reaching so many now. I know these lessons aren’t earned easily.. Keep going and enjoy the ride 🙏🏽
I have been having a closed mindset and have prayed to God and asked him to switch my mindset. This video has helped. Thank you God for allowing me to come across this video. And thank you!
King ish. I love to see Beautiful Black people working on our Mental (bc whatever comes at us, it won't prosper unless it gets our Mind first). God bless you King. 👑 🤎💪🏾😤👏🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Everyone’s beautiful and I hope everyone is okay I DOTN knwo why your jsut saying “black people” is white people are apart of god to but I’m not trying to be rude or anything g but please everyone needs to be good no matter what colour or where you come from everyone is beautiful
@@Yato24ggusually black people in our communities suffer thru generational trauma and never seek therapy. Nothing wrong with her praising this man to encourage all people, but even more so his own ppl to adapt this life changing mindset which would benefit the lot of us. but all people can apply this to their lives as well!
@@ihavenolife7732 Yes I hear what your saying but everyone goes through it no matter who you are or what race you are I just wish for everyone to be ok and encouraged to do something with there life
this broke me down to tears. my thoughts have always been so jumbled about how to live life to its fullest form and this gave so much clarity. to love every stage and appreciate everything that comes and goes through my journey. ive been struggling for so long, and this was liberating. obviously theres more depth, but this is a promising mindset for that end all feeling you mentioned. being content with everything as it just is what it is.
wow. That's how you know this is some real shit bro. No socials plugged. No like and subscribe. Just a genuine thanks and display of appreciation for the love & support. We need more people with this mindset 💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
