The biggest lesson I got from this is the need to break free of recreating nostalgia and fulfilling the distorted dreams we had as children. Not every present action needs to be in retaliation to or a repudiation of our past misery. Our actions must always be in response to the needs of today. Instead of toxic thoughts controlling our actions like: "I'm buying this because I was a laughing stock when I was 12. Where are the snobs now? Are they still mocking me over what I didn't have? Am I still a joke to them? Not after this." We should instead think: "I don't need this right now. Who cares what people think about me. Who cares what they ever thought." Somehow we internalised others' negative opinions as personal truths and live our lives controlled by this toxicity. We're better at deflecting it as adults, but when we were young and seeking trusted guidance in the world, we absorbed a lot of it that now controls us.
@@seabreeze4559Because the environment forces us to do so; if we go back to a couple thousand years ago when we used to live in tribes and clans, being outcasted by the people would most likely result in death, thus it's a survival mechanism. It would also explain why when someone moves to a different part of the country, the accent and vocabulary changes to some degree to fit the new standards of that location.
@@thekantedkalcedony But narcissists would use the exact same quote. So, I believed it should be rephrased. Otherwise, you have no way of telling why someone is using this quote.
I love how the entire video is just one take rather than the usual multiple snippets edited in together. This feels far more genuine and much closer to a conversation than most content out there. Thank you! Keep up the true work.
@@user-st6zi6lt8u I think it's more so that we can fulfil an idea that we have. We feel more achieved once we have hit or excelled expectations created by ourselves.
The problem now is the sheer increase in cost of basic necessities. I agree the priorities are off with things like fancy cars - but even a modest used car now is way too much. People who constantly want more more more things are usually empty inside anyway- it’s a dead end. My problem isn’t in the wanting of excess - I want basic needs met without costing me 3k a month, ya feel me?
Palette is related to art and pertains to colors and painting. Pallet is linked to logistics and denotes a platform for goods transportation. Palate is connected to our mouth and taste, both literally and metaphorically.
I believe the unnecessary luxury comes mainly when people give up on their primary goals and start relying on petty pleasures for some sense of fulfillment
Excellent commentary. It takes a strong and self-assured personality to undertake the suggestions you make here. Going "against" societal AND parental expectations will be the hardest task you will ever undertake. We are programmed from our earliest days to "fit in" to societal expectations by parents who have embraced societal expectations. Be prepared to be alone--a lot. Be prepared to be pressured to "give up" your silly childish desire to be authentic. Your Mom will want a grandchild. Your Dad will want to boast about your career. Your siblings will want to compare themselves to you. Your potential "wife" WILL want to big house, the nice car, the Hawaii vacation, and 2 children. All those things said, the very best thing a person can do is go their own way.
Needed this. Perfect timing. 2 days ago I quit a job that was causing me to waste away. I was being treated horribly and just sticking it out because I thought I had to. I didn’t. I came to a breaking point with some of the horrible emails my boss was sending me. I worked hard and I gave them the best I could, but that man is sick. I took a risk and quit on the spot. I couldn’t do it anymore. I feel a lot freer… doesn’t feel real yet… and I need another job. But… I think, despite all of the social constructs that make me feel like it was stupid, it wasn’t and I’m going to be okay. Everyone close to me saw how it was impacting my quality of life and were all very supportive. I didn’t expect that. They called me courageous, each independently of one another. I guess they’re right. I get one life. I want to enjoy it.
Proud of you and very happy that you have such a supportive circle of people around you. Forget what the constructs shout at you and believe yourself! You got this!
By procrastinating, life passes us by. And then we no longer dare and everything becomes difficult, far and heavy. Love your videos, thanks for posting this one today.
@@user-uq8xv2fp2l i use this analogy literally every day. my dad will often be in a rush to go through a traffic light he has no hope of making before it will turn red, and i'll say all the time "you're rushing just to get to a red light..." this even happened within 20 minutes of the time i'm typing this.. literally. i'll see other people do this all the time too, speeding up past me on the road going at my chill pace, only for us to meet up again at the red light. obviously the analogy is a bit different when there are no traffic lights and you can just keep going, sort of like you can in life, but i do feel like it's a good visual for people who are in a rush to get to the finish without enjoying the race.
People look down on my $4000 car, like they feel bad for me. But the freedom of being able to buy another one, in cash, if something happens to it is what people who want “financial freedom” are looking for. Lovely video
"I travel faster by foot than you by train..." That really captivated me. I'm so glad to find your channel! You have a very calming voice. Like nighttime radio. 📻 I'll be listening at night to wind down.
I am lost in the sea of noise. Past mistakes, current success of others, depression, procrastination. It's healthy to slow down, stop consuming ( literally and metaphorically) and maybe think about more important things in life. Thank you for this video which momentarily stopped me from mindless scrolling and maybe made me reflect on some things in my life. I think we humans should have moments like theses regularly, like a mind calming excercises. Looking for your next videos.
This is great. My life's been better ever since I adopted a mindset similar to this about a year ago, doing what I want to do in the moment rather than waiting for the "best time" to do it. E.g. going for that bike ride now, rather than waiting for the perfect weather that will never come, or waiting for other people to join in. I found living cheaply was much easier once I found these things that I really enjoy. Waiting for money, other people, or nice weather just leads to doing nothing at all. Live in the moment, cause the future is exactly that, always in the future
I have always known this and done this until society expected of me to be like everyone else. Expectations and lots of them. I lost my joy of life, health and motivation. Now I am struggling to find my way back to the colorful happy person I once was. Today I am a pale, sick shell of my old self. I look in the mirror and hardly recognize who I have become. I have stopped caring about everything that once meant something. I find that even worse to have known it but to have lost it. Knowing what makes you happy but letting society's expectations to ruin and run your life. I'm happy you have found it. It's never too late. Run with it.
I stumbled upon this notion a year ago and have been working towards it since. Essentially, as adults, we typically get up in the morning to 👉🏼 get ready for work. However, I'm advocating for a shift towards getting up in the morning and, 👉🏼 getting ready for play. And now, play can be whatever you do to keep that fire inside you turned on. ✨ Unlike work, which for a lot of us, dims our light. -- Before this realization, I was a strong proponent of working nights whenever possible. 🌙 Trust me, scheduling your day this way, prioritizing your own work in the morning before doing work for in someone else’s name, results in much higher energy levels. It may feel like when you rearrange a room and you see that you have so much more space, and without having gotten rid of anything! 😉
I completely agree. We burn ourselves out for *someone* *else* and we are slaves to the system. Meanwhile, our lives tick by without ever having the opportunity to live them- unless we’re lucky enough to make it to old age, in which case, we are too old and feeble to truly live out our dreams. I’ve learned that hard lesson after being a workaholic, only to become disabled by that job at the age of 37, and that workplace that I gave so much of my hard work, energy, and dedication, where are they now? They don’t care about their employees, they care about the bottom line. When I got hurt, they treated me like a problem they were trying to make go away. And although I truly loved my job, I wasn’t making great money to be there. And now my body is destroyed, in my prime, and for what? Live your life, don’t put yourself last. Don’t procrastinate in your true journey of becoming you. We all think that there will always be plenty of time “someday,” but what happens when you’re unable to use that time to good purpose when it comes? I spend most of my day in bed, even unable to read most times because it’s too painful and difficult to sit up enough to read. I have a lot of time on my hands, but it is spent in pain and immobility, and spent waiting for something that will never come. I don’t say this for anyone to feel sorry for me, I don’t want pity. I am saying this because it is imperative that you enjoy your life *today.* Do the things you want *today.* Life the life you deserve *today.* Because tomorrow may not come in the way you think it should. I’m so grateful that I have RU-vid and that I get to discover phenomenal individuals like this man here. This was one of the best things I’ve ever watched on the importance of living your life, I just wished I would’ve seen it sooner, but I would’ve been busy living life to make other people happy. Live your one precious life. Live it *today.*
In my own experience it has proven to be helpful to actually know what it is that I want and just do it. Simple things like having a coffee on my balcony in the mornings when it’s warm outside - taking care of a beautiful plant - having kind and insightful conversations with my partner. As I continually find myself naturally living a life that I find fulfilling, I continually find that I ALWAYS have ALL of the resources to support that life. The momentum built up in the so called small things evolves into much bigger things in an organic way.
@@hangloosejanjucI consider it a cross section between many different philosophies. Mentalism, Buddhism, Stoicism, Taoism, etc. I typically navigate the paths of awe and wonderment. I think that I understand your question though…and I can answer that with a yes, but among other things as well.
Thank you. I found you the day after I made the decision to stop postponing my life, by deciding to retire from teaching. Everything you said resonated with me so much that it made me cry.
This I’d so refreshing: just a friendly human being, pleasant voice, a deep message, no music, no fast cuts, no unnecessary intros/outros, no plea to subscribe or course or limited time offer… JUST A DEEP RANDOM chat with a person. Thank you! THANK YOU.
Can we please have more videos on this topic? I feel like we as a society are so much trying to become a perfect "ideal" of a high functioning "nothing". We are all caught up in this high performing "successful person idea" but we don't ask ourselves where we are going. It's like our "direction vector" is not present but we're full-speed jumping into the abbyss.
Thank you for sharing in this observation with me. I’ve been feeling judged because I’m not status or wealth seeking. It seems I was on an upward trajectory back there, but not for MY PURPOSE. So I had to learn some new skills, which meant taking a step back from the hustling and instead, studying. Now that I’m essentially starting over, I can literally hear the judgement (I’m clairaudient.) It's inspiring to find others who refuse to be mere participants in the rat race, even in an age where it's conveniently packaged within the palm of our hands. Here's to those who value meaningful pursuits over the mindless hustle. 🥂✨
Success is bs. ALl forms of it. I knew as a kid that the life offered to me was BS, but even the more conscious humans subconsciously pass this sense onto you you are nothing if you are not doing something. Life isn't homework. Life is YOUR experience. It's MY experience. I do what I want with it......and there's millions of ways of doing it. Running around like a headless chikcen chasing thigns, or being a harsh critic of mysel sound very dumb. To what end? Death's only cool thing is that it helps put time in prespective. When I die I won't care one bit what I accomplished. I don't intend to take the judgements of this world with me to my personal heaven.
@@jeanjacqueslundi3502 yes but if you aren't doing anything, at any point, then who are you? How can you have no ambition, or will to do something good with your life?
@@benjaminmitchell6016 How do kids go through life? Is it ambition, or enjoyment that drives them? And I didn't say I don't have my desires and ideals....just that they have nothing to do with you or the programming of the world. And I don't have to make myself feel like "sh*t" if I don't manage them. Unless they are moral....but I got those covered WITHOUT playing into the world's idea of ambition.
@@jeanjacqueslundi3502the role that corporations play in this should not be ignored. We are not meant to work 50+ hours a week at a retail or office job just to be able to afford to have a shelter. If our time at work was limited then we would have more time for ourselves
At this point in my life, I really need a friend like you.🙏 You are a good person who shares wisdom and give us really positive energy. Wishing you all the best ❤️
Thank you for your thoughts - pretty inspiring! I’ve put myself last for many years - was disconnected from me *and* was there for others. Over the past months, I’ve turned the tables and am now happy for finally choosing me and am sad about losing people around me. Here’s to this new exciting chapter that is called growth🤗✨
I wish this video was posted a month earlier. I’ve grinded myself into depression, almost deleted myself from existence trying to accumulate more money, trying to create a place to be happy with my beloved girlfriend in a future. I’ve completely forgot that I’ll never be in a future, here&now is all that I’ll ever experience. Now I don’t have a girlfriend. I’ve ruined everything. Paradoxically, after some time of mental agony, after I’ve lost my dream, I’m awake as I’ve never been. Just trying to become the best possible version of myself. Better late than never)
if you sometimes get the feeling things are falling apart, maybe they are just falling into place... your suffering is not created by your circumstances, but rather by your resistance. keep your head up bro, this too shall pass.
At what point did you realize you were overextended yourself for money ? I,myself am trying to have enough money to pursue my dream, but I keep wondering at what point does it become destructive instead of freeing ?
For me it was the moment when I realized that I think about my job almost every single hour. Either what to do with this or that particular nuisance, or what am I doing wrong, or what if it’s not “my type” of job. Now I clearly see that the common denominator of all my career choices and mistakes and problems was me. Of course, it’s (probably?) cool when your job is so meaningful and exciting that you can think about it all day long; but now I try to distance myself from my job. It’s not me. No matter how hard am going to f*ck things up - it’s all out there. I’ve done what I can out of what I should - and that’s it.
I realized many years ago that it made no sense to give any other human power over our happiness. Although I have been married 30 years now and would prefer that my partner continues to grow older with me, his physical absence couldn't diminish the beauty of life. I hope you always know that too.
You’re lucky you weren’t married to her or she would have taken with her half the money you made trying to impress her, and she’d now be spending it gleefully with her next boyfriend(s). All guys should insist on prenuptial agreements before getting married, no matter how poor they are, unless it’s an extremely rare case where the woman is wealthy and they guy is not.
It's not a mystery. We postpone ourselves because of 1) fear of failure, 2) not enough resources to pursue our dreams as we toil away at useless, pointless jobs.
Heavy on not enough resources. There are so many things I want to do and so many things I am capable of doing but I came from a low income background and have yet to breakthrough to a better financial situation. It’s discouraging because I’m getting older and my years are passing me by but also, I want to do the things that inspire me and the things I’ve always dreamed of doing
@@aliceandappetizers This sounds pollyannish, but your only real choice is to keep trying and keep the faith. I wish I could hand every starving artist a million bucks. Lots of people make it later in life.
Exactly!! I'm not "waiting" to create, I don't have time because I don't have $ and I don't have $ because I'm wasting my time working jobs that I hate instead of drawing/painting which will make me way more money in the long run. It's a horrible catch 22 and I'm starting to feel like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown if this doesn't change.
we postpone our selves because we have lack of relationships, long term connections with other people are no longer a thing! Plus we can't afford anything because society has made it difficult to attain, so we don't invest in our society and even in ourselves.
HIlariously I left this open in a tab for weeks before finally getting around to watching it. I feel like I live in line with these ideas more than many of those around me, but the messaging from society has gotten so strong that I find myself constantly questioning my values. It's always nice to be reminded of these values through the reflection of others. Thanks!
I have to say that I love everything about your videos, and about your channel in general. You are so honest, kind, erudite and calm. Your videos are so simple in visual or sound effects yet they are fascinating to watch and full of wisdom and warm, secure, positive energy ❤
Having spare time for reading - that's the privelege Never thought I'll grow up and the sick mad world will take this away from me Tomorrow I'll see if I'm able to put it as priority at 6 am
Needed this so much today, thank you.❤ I took the day off of work (2nd day in a row) and felt so guilty about it. I just wanted time for me, I didn’t want to “perform”, I just wanted to be. I am going to be 32 this year and haven’t gotten around to all the things I want to do in my life because I have been in the mindset of “if I just work for a little longer then I’ll start on my passions” I’m already about to be 32 and I’ve had this mindset for ten years and it’s time to reevaluate what is truly important. Thank you ✨
Back in my late 20s I decided to get married and have a family. When you make that decision you also take on the responsibility of providing for the needs (and wants) of your family. So my time isn't necessarily my own anymore. That adds another layer that separates you from taking care of your own personal goals. I don't regret my decision to have a family, but sometimes I do wish I had more time to focus on myself. I have found myself being more forceful with taking that time recently, but it is difficult to do (and even more so when you have a family). But it is quite easy to fall into the "Well when I retire I'll have that time" mindset. But when I think back on my father, he maybe had 2 good years after he retired before health problems closed in. So, my suggestion to you is make sure your family knows that you need your own time and that their needs can't always be paramount. Be equally forceful in regards to yourself - don't allow the eternally expanding to-do list to take over your life.
my principle is: love made me like itself; I am love . in the face of that brilliance, I easily see, for example, how putting myself down is _not_ love
I’m very glad to have found this video. I’ve been needing to hear something like this for a very long time, and known it as well. This is the first video I’ve ever come by of yours and it won’t be the last, your content seems genuine and refreshing, thank you for sharing.
i’ve found myself stumbling upon stoicism so often recently. something that has always deeply resonated with me, but i push to the side in pursuit of the comfort of what i know to be “easier”. i’ve struggled to remain focused on many things recently, but this video really spoke to me. thank you for this.
As much as I’d love to agree with this, and good points are made, I live in minimalism and still have to work my ass off for bare survival. Of course being poor is expensive (the boots tale is a good one) but at the end of the day u must pursue ur passion relentlessly, but manage to make urself strong enough to balance it all.
wow, thank you. these words really resonated with me. i took notes and this is my new favorite channel. thank you for this small moment of enlightenment and hope.
That's what this guy looks like! I'm just listening without looking at the video and even the way he talks, wording choice and cadence, is all Gabor Mate.
I'm at 2:28 and already mindblown! My version is: I need to first heal my difficult health condition (and trauma etc) and then I can do all these things that make me happy.
Read the book cured - the science of spontaneous remissions Often remissions from health issues happen when people completely redecorate their life and alter their routines Joe Dispenza has great books on the topic titled You are the placebo, breaking the habit of being yourself, and becoming supernatural
@@AaronLyons Thank you! I will check this book out. I feel much better and my MS is not as bad once I left my evil husband. Same for my chronically ill daughter. We both still go through so much, but with that evil man living with us, we are much better after 4 years.
Great video 👌🏼🔥 I think it very much depends on what you want in life, sometimes you have to ‘postpone yourself’ and do the hard graft first in order to achieve it. ‘nothing in life is handed to you’ for most of us in life this is the truth. You are definitely right about cutting out the BS like social media, procrastination and pointless distractions though that’s universal!
beautiful message. I heard this today: "You can get everything you want, but not until you say with your full chest that you want it". Reminded me of exactly what you are saying. Thank you
Good video! This is exactly what I've been struggling with in recent months and what you talk about is exactly what I need to hear. Thanks for making content like this.
You should consider giving a tour of your personal library/bookshelf. I think a good deal of us viewers would be greatly interested in such a video considering the depth of knowledge you seem to possess. Looking forward to the next video regardless!
You know what's more expensive than a car though? Dependents. Unless you are fine with letting them grow up in poverty and letting them figure out how to fund college (or to not and have their career options severely limited). And, if you work less on improving your earning power in a career, you will end up spending more hours at work to fund a basic lifestyle because you are paid less per hour. It's not like you can decide you are no longer materialistic and just stop working, have all this free time. I agree that it is important to know what is really important in life and put that first. That doesn't support the claim that the answer is to 'desire less, earn less, spend less'. That applies in a minority of cases where somebody is putting in overtime at work in order to buy luxury goods, and they could stop putting in that overtime. I believe your observation here was helpful, but the conclusion rang hollow, was not sufficiently thought out. Edit: I think that a better conclusion would be to have more clarity on personal values and how those translate into action. I think if you asked most people what their deepest values were, their answers would be vague at best. Certainly not developed enough to live out. That would be a good place for most people to start.
well put, while the wisdom he shares is undeniable, he is a young man living well in his twenties in a rich country, and it seems obvious he comes from a good family, so his advice doesnt apply to all people or even most people
This is a very good comment. Earning a good salary means your kids can grow up in a safer environment that fosters growth, and attend schools with more thoughtful teachers and students (ironically, they will spend time with people who are NOT glued to a tablet or an ipad all day). Having money also allows your kids to pursue fine arts, sports and cultural activities. I have lived amongst the underclass and it is not something to be glorified
This video came at exactly the right time for me. I have been feeling a lot of lower emotions recently. I have been feeling very deeply that its time to stop holding back on myself and what I feel called to in this life. I can see the person I can become and the things I want to bring into the world. But I keep holding back and 'postponing' myself. Ive been doing it almost all my life. 'Waiting' for the right moment to step into the person I feel is inside me. And the value I can bring to the world. Ive recently passed 30 years old. And starting to feel like time is passing me by and I can no longer hold back on these things. Some might say thats young and laugh. But to me having had these dreams and calling for years now. It feels like a long time to delay. Anyway I just randomly opened RU-vid tonight after feeling all these emotions the last few weeks and especially the last few days. I felt so present watching this video. And it hit me very deeply. It then led me to being reminded of this quote below. I cried when I read it. Thank you for this video. Its exactly what I needed right now. This is the quote: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others"
This video randomly showed up on my feed. Really appreciate you taking the time to put this out there. I didn’t realize how much I needed to hear this.
i usually dont comment but im going to cry, thank you for this video and this channel and all the things you said and your narration. the one thing i promised myself to do this year was to start living actively and to get into stoic philosophy, and this is exactly the push i needed. i dont know, i just feel so grateful, thank you so much;'(((
Indeed this title spoke to me. There are many ways this title can be interpreted. For me, I’m at a point in my life where keeping my word to myself is my top priority. Why? Because I have not kept it for years now. This has affected my self-esteem, confidence, and ability to trust myself. My current life circumstances are also a result of postponing myself. Regarding the phrases “throw it all away” or “untie the knot” a phrase I also use is “burn the boats”. They all have the same meaning. Brilliant video and one that resonates exactly with this point in my life. Thank you sir.
Who is this good looking person and articulate literate machine? On you youtube?! There is so much wisdom behind your words (and Senecas of course) Thank you so much for sharing your clear intelectual and personal insights on youtube and for the algorithm to deliver it !!!🙏
this is a really nice comment and i dont mean to disparage it at all but it just made me think that in the future people will literally worship algorithms. giving thanks when the algo returns good, offering penance when it returns bad
I stayed watching because the way you speak seems genuine and you're sharing knowledge in a way that's easy to understand, thank you for sharing to others important lessons on this plataform!
Hello. I am very glad that I found this video and your channel. Your rendition of Seneca’s identification of misunderstanding of life’s purpose and procrastination as an abstract obstacle preventing a happy and meaningful life is profound. It affects us all as humans. Thank you. You words really woke me up.
Thank you for this. Not too long ago I felt like I needed to build up two multimillion dollar businesses in order to persue my indie artist career. Then I realized I wouldn’t have the time for my music if I was busy running businesses. I quit my cushy factory job, moved out of my 2BR apartment, into my car that I own, and ran my business out of a storage unit. Once I decided to get an RV I saved up $1200 and got a fixer upper to live in. It’s beautiful and I couldn’t be happier. Now that I’m not working to live, living to work, I am putting all my money into my music career. This is an amazing realization thank you for speaking on this
I don’t know if this was intentional, but your voice is so relaxing that i found it much easier to focus and absorb what you’re saying. It calmed me down from the usual fast-paced, rapid attention span style of advice that is so prevalent in social media now, specifically youtube shorts & instagram reels. I felt like it was a calm & steady lecture that forced my attention span to slow down and be present with, instead of having fast, efficient snippets of advice being thrown at me for sake of saving time. Thank you for making this video 🩷
Thank you 🙂🙏🏼 felt like a great reminder and a conversation or genuinely listening to someone than watching a video on RU-vid for self-help as a guy who's got a lot to figure out all by himself
So true. I've tried to live by this most of my life. Drive a beater car that I own, no payments. Don't own a home or any of the toys that might get in the way of being free to pursue my dreams and compromise my time and energy too much. Tho I can always do better with this. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love my older car, no payment, not even 100k mileage on it (it's 18 years old!). If I can't afford to fix I'll sell it as I don't commute to work, luckily it's only a recreation car (and I don't even use it much for that lol). I'm "boring" but have space for things like reading, taking walks, hobbies, etc! I also live somewhere others may poo-poo (a mobile home park) but again it's the cost of "my life" that I factor in, no big mortgage means I'm more free...
I just found you❤️🙏 thank you ! This is how im living my life now , it was great to here it in your words , as those around me dont understand, why i have shifted my life this way , im turning 62 , in a couple days , and i never bought into traditional , ways of inside the box , as im not neurotypical, but divergent .,and have had to live differently because of it . I came to this conclusion, long ago , but had to start thinking of how i would lead my life going forward in to this chapter , 🤷🏻♀️ ( i prefer high priests to senior 😃☝🏻) as the old model of conditioned aging, i dont aspire too. I started Youthing, in my mid 50’s , designed my own , spiritual way , of eating and radical self care , and today im a living example , of you are what you think , and what you eat and do . I live on less and do more , of all the things i enjoy , my resources, are small , but i feel empowered by my unconventional choice to be free and happy , to value , freedom, and time , over money and material possessions. My health care is the choices that i make every day , that lead to wellness, instead of illness . Long story short . What you said today . Is more than words, 🙏 put in action , as a healthy elder, is working . Blessings Mo❤
It’s a 2000 years old quote, and still I stumble upon this video about it right after a therapy session reflecting on that specific experience that has been going on for my entire adult life. Impressive one, universe lol
Wow, this video really hit me hard. I regret spending years of my life doing something I was not passionate about and did not serve me. Its only purpose was money and it didn’t really fulfill my needs. Thanks for this reminder to prioritize 🙏🏻
What this fails to address is that even living within or below your means, forgoing all possible luxuries, you still require an amount of money that would take the average person over 30 years to accumulate, in order to be truly financially independent.
Damn, somehow the algorithm brought us all together and here we are all listening to this most profound powerful message. I am currently in bed delaying getting up, first thing i did this morning was grab my phone. Well done, sir.
Wow! What an insightful video! 1. First off I loved that this video was short but not too short and to the point 2. I loved your calm demeanor and in general, your aura This really has made me reflect this morning. I come from an immigrant family, where the focus was education, wealth, degrees, and physical beauty. These are the things that are valued by my family. And growing up, this had a severe (and still does) impact on my mental health. I often sometimes wakeup and feel like a worthless human being, but this video gave me hope. I am on a journey of spirituality and lately I have been (as you said in your video) getting up late, going to work and then not having time or energy to do what I really want (connect to a higher power, read, make art etc.) - I also feel that if I tell people in real life this are the things I want to do - I will get laughed at and called a 'hippie.' But anyways, this was a lot of food for thought. THANK YOU
you shook me up. I needed to hear that. I am struggling with a decision. Actually my heart knows what to do but I am postponing it. you are so right. I hope to have the courage to listen to my heart.
