Internet if used properly is the greatest blessing of our generation. I was feeling down these days, and suddenly this video popped out on my feed at the right time. Man it was wonderful listening every single minute of it. God bless you king 👑

I was feeling really ashamed about myself today. I was embarrassed that I act the way I do. That I can't talk to people without it becoming so unbearable that I cry and cringe at everything I said when I get home. I was abandoned when I was a kid so I always think it's for the best if I'm alone. But I got too comfortable with that and now I have a hard time just talking. But I have been doing better. I ask my coworkers how their day is going. I make a joke in line at the store. I compliment strangers. I have to let go of my past self. That little kid sitting in silence in an empty trailer is now making friends and trusting others. You can do it! There is no future, there is only today and today and today. ❤️
“We get addicted to our past and keep looping it” damn I feel this 💔 especially when I’m goin thru tough experiences like why am I torturing myself by staying the same and miserable? Why can’t I start changing
I graduated 3 days ago from high school. Even though I made it, that victory felt hollow. I’ve been depressed for about a month, lying in bed, not doing anything productive, replaying past experiences to pass the time. I felt trapped by my own emotions and failures. I felt that I didn’t accomplish as much as I could have, and that I should have put myself out there more than I did. After listening to this video, I took some time to reflect on myself. I am too afraid of changing, feeling as though I will mess it up. But maybe for once, I’ll let all the worries I let build up fall.
Stay strong. Life holds many opportunities, and if one passes, others await. They might seem minor, but they're valuable stepping stones. Consider going back to community college to gain skills and talents that will help you grow. You'll discover new aspects of yourself and emerge stronger and more capable. You are more than what you give yourself credit for!!! God Bless you
damn... the fact that you are thinking this deep at such an early age is great to hear. Im 34 and still have massive regrets from high school and college. My unasked advice would be to focus on the next stage of your life and dont worry about the past. Dont recreate the stuff you regret and do the opposite of it. Just my two cents.
"I think a lot of times we run from our problems without realizing that we're running from ourselves. We're running from the parts of ourselves that need to heal from certain things." Insane wisdom. Just subscribed.
I recently realized that I allowed other people to be in the driver seat of my own life. Being afraid that the things I wanted were unattainable, even doubting that God could take me there. I’m in a space where I’m feeling a lot of conviction about doing certain things but still fearful, a space where I know I have to let go of certain people. So many things changing all at once. I know my options are to stay stagnant or to go into these uncomfortable spaces. I asked God for these things not really knowing what came with it but, I also believe I am meant to be in this current season. Thank you for the encouragement, and for sharing your own experience 🙏🏾
Fr it happens to me too and I sometimes doubt my self and doubt my abilities just cuz I'm doing something that it's very rare to reach the top of it ,but I'm not giving up ,I'm going to fight against everything and everyone even my own negative thoughts ,I will work hard and God will absolutely do the rest for me to something that I will finally be proud of 👍
1:30 Your thoughts become your actions, your actions become you. We need to get rid of the word manifestation because it’s confusing so many young people, becoming superstitious about it. it’s truly your thinking that leads into your actions that make you who you are. This is a well out video, fantastic job man seriously
You know when a video comes across your feed randomly and you know you’re meant to watch it? This was it for me. Genuinely, the way you speak and the way you articulate your thoughts, is incredible. I see so much content each day but there are so few people that have a certain kind of resonance, and you definitely have it. Much love from Australia
I come from a place where I was told I "talk white" and as I grew older, I starved myself of knowledge to be social with that same group. It is so refreshing seeing another well spoken brother. Young black men need to know more than one type of role model. Keep being you bro.
Not sure if you or anyone will read this comment, but if someone that knows where I’m coming from and can relate, I want you to know that you’re not alone. I grew up with it just my mother and I. It has always been tough understanding myself and feeling comfortable in my own skin. I have always put God first but wanting to fit in has always been a downfall for me. Allowing myself to let go of my past self at each new threshold in my life has helped propel me to be someone I’m proud to be today. From a single-parent household living in section 8 and eating off food stamps to now I am exactly 6 months away from earning my doctorate in physical therapy. Wow, has it been a ride and I know I have so much growth ahead of me. Stay humble. Put your values/faith first. Always be true to yourself. Know when to let the parts of yourself go that feel need to change. Stay up 🙏🏻
"You can't be ashamed of loving yourself" I love that quote favorite part from the entire video. Never hate yourself for being who you are. If you hate a part of you just change but don't hate that you never did it because you learn from it, and you can make yourself stronger and better.
I recently just had an abortion. Currently going through the process of Asking God to forgive me for not keeping my baby. But I just realized that the father just used me for the moment. and that I was allowing so much of the past and people in my life to use me and disrespect me. Just because i never had the experience of love from others properly. I’m 19. I’m on my own. and I’m figuring it out. After that experience. I want to start over. I want live and forgive myself and others of the past. I want to be okay with saying No for once and standing on it. I’m realizing if i’m not okay with it and don’t want it. I Can say No. I don’t have to do anything I don’t want to. I want to go to college. I want to be a psychologist. I want to be successful. I want to love and receive love properly. I just want new. I feel like i experienced this for a reason. To Open my eyes that I am capable of great things and I am capable of everything that God has for me. I’ve been in my head a lot lately. and I clearly seen this video for a reason. Thank you.❤️
You are truly forgiven when you believe you are forgiven. If you truly felt sorrow about it and asked God for forgiveness the only thing preventing you from being forgiven is your missing Faith that it takes to know God has redeemed you after prayer. Do not get stuck in the "guilt loop" if it's something you truly meant to God, because he knows your sincerity.
I love this comment, healing from things like this can feel damn near impossible, im really proud of you for standing up for your future, for your greater good, for what you want. Your life, your physical and mental being, belongs to no one but you. You are loved, and you are an inspiration.
So happy to see some men beginning to share this kind of philosophical motivational content. Men definetly need more healthy male figures like you ! And you seem like a such sweet and mature person. Wish you the best and I’m so excited to see where this is going ✨💫
“You can’t be ashamed of loving yourself; allow yourself to change with the circumstance; let yourself flourish” So grateful for you and your channel 💗🙏🏼
I was praying (I’m Christian) and I decided to open up RU-vid to look for a song. This was the first video that popped up and it describes what I’m going through right now perfectly. Thank you for sharing, it takes courage and that’s awesome
exact same thing for me man, yesterday his video popped up about going all in. I confessed the other day at church, and after everything God showed me last night it was all related to my confession. I immediately dropped and started praying and thanking God.
Man wtf. I’m literally tripping out so bad rn. I was outside praying to god about changing my smoking habits. I cried and all. Once I came in the house to eat I when on RU-vid to find something and he popped up. Now I’m seeing both of your comments. Everything happens for a reason….life is scary but I’m Gods strongest soldier.
@@ItsSnipes- Its been 2 weeks since you commented but I hope your doing better, God always has a better purpose and a plan, God says,in 1 Peter 5:8" Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." Fight through your addiction and put all of your stress and anxiety on him, let him help you and better yourself through him, he made you see this video for a reason. I really hope your doing well man.
Im 15 trying to grow myself as a person. In the past year ive changed the most in my life, putting myself out my comfort zone - going to the gym and becoming more social, trying to be the best version of myself and go down the right path. I find your videos very inspiring and enlightening. God bless you
You still young! Good work man and keep improving and growing. By the time you are older, youll be ahead and more focused. Especially in this world of distractions. You might be misunderstood during your HS years but thats a good thing it means you're doing sum different. Dont follow the crowd follow your heart man❤
you're still really young. One thing I always thought when I was your age was that I wasn't good enough or i didn't have enough invested in my hobbies or myself. I watched and read all sorts of self help. I didn't realize until recently that these feelings were due to the fact that I was so young and comparing myself to these influencers that are much older. You have 8-10hrs of your day taken up by school and sports. Just remember that if you ever feel like you aren't at such a level of development. I've changed so much from just when I was 18 and even more from when I was 16 and the person I was when I was 15 is a different person.
Thank you man. I’m going sober tomorrow and I really needed this. I’ve been telling myself that I’ll struggle, that’s why I haven’t quit. But real talk, so did Jesus. If he struggled so bad for us then what’s my excuse right? God is real but so is the devil. I’m taking this step and this was my gateway into this path. Thank you man. Seriously.
There's two sides of the internet. One that preaches hopelessness and the bleak future, one that embraces change and growth. I love listening to your video's as part of the developing of a positive view of the future and myself.
Exactly! What made me realize this was how samurai believed that they had to be prepared to die. They had to let themselves go. Because if they held onto their life, they would make more mistakes in combat than if they were ready to perish. Applying this thought to myself I realized I had to let go of my dream a little bit. Find a different approach. Be prepared to fail. This goes hand in hand with your video about going all in. Just let go of any doubt, just do whatever it is you want to do. If you want to be a youtuber, you don't need thousands of views. Just upload and put yourself in the mindset of a RU-vidr. Be ready to accept its rewards. But you won't receive anything if you are not doing anything in the first place. I love what you're doing Profound Pondering! I want to make videos like these on my own channel. Keep it up!
I really resonated too, you gotta treat yourself like a pregnant woman 😤 Let yourself take priority seating sometimes, be aware of your cravings (indulge if you have to) but most importantly be healthy so that you can help that new life flourish too.
The algorithm is crazy, I needed this. It’s so refreshing to see people with high emotional intelligence sharing their perspectives. Congratulations on your channel 🥳 you definitely deserve it
your personality and mindset amazes me. i’m so happy to hear how you’ve grown and changed. this video fr has me in tears because i just want to be where you’re at and have this mindset. thank you for sharing, and i hope you continue to.
I myself struggle, the thought of changing seems impossible. I’m 24 now and I still feel exactly how I did when I was 19. Struggling everyday to change not just for myself but for my son because I know I’m capable of more in this life. Just like the greatest among us
it crazy how you’re still young having this realization, and is very self aware about how you’re still working on yourself. I’ve been going through this awareness/ spiritual journey since the fall of 22’ (22 yrs old). I relate so much. Everything in life is a lesson and you have to be grateful because everything is an experience. I typed a lot but the universe is crazy & beautiful at the same time.
This video almost made me cry. It came at the perfect time, and i couldn’t agree more. I’ll definitely continue watching, thank you for this message man. God bless you.
I appriciate you. doing hella for us out here, basically being a teacher for everyone in a relatable way and your relatability to us is what really resonates. keep doing what youre doing
“We have vacancies inside ourself and we fill it with our own inaction and previous experiences” … this is so profound and captured such a complex dynamic so clearly.. also thank u for the positivity towards just putting out your art out there! I’m an artist and it was nice to hear :)
I came across this vid in a time where im 30 and realizing the world in front of me and now i want to really explore myself w/ change. And God allow things to happen for a reason which why i came across this vid. Thank you! 🙏🏾❤️🙌🏾
This video was a blessing to my recommendations. I had just gotten done journaling myself that I needed to make change and forget my self destructive routines. One of my biggest fears was that changing would drive people away. Or that it would be weird to suddenly pivot my state of mind after acting a certain way for so long. You are totally right and thank you so much for being vulnerable to give people the message for how they can change. That it’s necessary to grow, and necessary to leave behind that old version of yourself to finally move on and face our problems. I hope your journey takes you far! You deserve all the best!
I’ve been struggling with living in the past for way too long. It played in my head on repeat so I feel like I need to watch this as a reminder. Thank you
This showed up when I needed it the most. I’ve been feeling very disconnected from myself recently because I haven’t been accepting the changes that’ve been going on within. You’ve reminded me of what’s important. Thank you for sharing this message😊
I randomly came across this video and I’m currently in the process of changing old habits and trying to turn a new leaf, I started to cry just thinking about how I need to let go, this seriously helped open my eyes and I appreciate this video so much💜
I’m going through one of the hardest periods of my life. I’ve been down everyday, trying to hold on. Your words really speak to me. Thank you so much for this. Your light is spreading into the lives of many ❤️
I’m not subscribed to this channel and I don’t watch all of his content, but for some reason every time I’m feeling lost, down or flat out hopeless, one of his videos always happens to pop up on my home page. I take it as a sign for me to sit back and relax, listen and reflect on the things going on and really try understand myself. Your videos have helped me a lot and I love the content. Thank you!
You popped up on my feed randomly today and it couldn’t have been better timing.. truly divine timing. Im going thru a lot of shedding of old self literally had a breakdown yesterday. I’ve been on this journey for a long time since I was 20 and I’m now 31 and I always find the right teacher at the right time.Thank you for having the courage to share your thoughts,feelings and positivity 💚
It’s so refreshing to see and hear a grateful, thinking, feeling, smiling black man. One who is taking great strides to work on himself. Thank you for this
Appreciate you’re message. Recently made the first step and decided I am no longer running from who I am. It’s been a very uncomfortable process but hearing this really helps me in comforting myself.
This is the first RU-vid essay where I have listened to the whole thing for a while. No other tabs, I didn't check the comments, I was watching. It was really great. I have felt almost pulled through life the past year, a ton has changed, from stuff like my music tastes to my friends and social media. Every day, I felt like myself 2 weeks ago was cringe, annoying, or even a bad person. I've begun to see the light of actually controlling my life, instead of just holding on to whatever thing I have at the moment and thinking it's permanent or optimal. Thanks, this was great.
You popped up on my page this morning & really spoke to me. Thank you for showing me that men who are spiritual & open minded exist who are around my age. I’m 24 and am hoping to meet my soul partner soon. So you give me hope. Thank you.
You really bring something to this world thankyou for spreading your message. As well as helping me I hope it’s helping yourself and other people. I tell people things I want to hear but we really are precious and need to appreciate ourselves more. 1 life don’t hold back. I just watched 1 vid of yours and almost cried mainly because I didn’t realise how many people have the same thoughts as me, i worry about being normal there is no normal. I want to be strong enough mentally to get through these hard days I feel so weak but I realise I need to get through this as much as it hurts.
Man watching this vid, I can't help but cry, can't help but feel understood by this man I see on the internet from my room on the other side of the world. His words greatly encapsulate the feeling when you transition from hating yourself to letting things go and finding love and kindness for yourself. This is something I try to preach to the people cause I see them suffering and I want to help, but most of them can't understand just yet, and I had always felt alone when I felt misunderstood sharing these thoughts with people, but this video, It changed that, Thank You. I wish you and all other people on this comment section Godspeed and everything's gon do fine. Stay in your lane, and you will reach your destination
Aye man Ive been looping the same thoughts and reliving the same experiences for the first time and I've been too comfortable doing the bare minimum with myself and letting my self go in the wrong way - like you said "Its to easy to not do nothing". I gave into to my negativity and stopped my journey until today. You speaking on this topic has really helped me understand why Ive been like this for a yr and half now and today is the first time Ive cried and acknowledged how Im really feeling. Thank You Pro.
Your tonality and presence is comforting. I’m the oldest but hearing you articulate your words made me feel like I was listening to an older brother. Thank you for your wisdom
Thank you for this, it means a lot, change is hard and when it’s actually happening it’s scary, acceptance is key in life. Something I’m trying to learn.
thank you so much i really need to hear this, these days i've been feeling lost and blaming myself over and over. maybe this is the time to let myself go.
i went back to old habits of opening closed doors back up into my life and i’ve been feeling ashamed in myself and like i ruined all my growth and healing especially tonight i’ve just been feeling empty and sad like i have nobody to depend on this video made me feel like i did thank you
Thank you for this, I'm 20 and now starting to take the first step into putting myself out there, comfortable with myself, and try to show my love to others🙏🏼"Let yourself Flourish, Let yourself Develope."
Brother your speaking on such a mindful level. I truly love to see others working and improving on there own personal life and sharing there understanding of it to help others. I wish you the best on your journey and hope you see many more years of helping others and yourself!
rn im going thru a breakup and i really appreciate that this video showed up on my yt feed, like i really needed this to start changing bc i felt like i lost myself thru years and been suffering bc of that, i really want to change but i didn't know where to start, so thank you for telling us our experience and open up to so much people on internet, maybe you're saving someones life
the way you strung together ideas was awesome. the message in the video is exactly what i’ve been feeling but i didn’t know how to put it into words, thank you.
“you can’t make new experiences off of old ideas” is what i was told in my fourth mental hospital. some of the best advice i got that motivated me to change instead of falling in the cycle of self hatred. has kept me out of the hospital since and that was 2020:)
thanks for reassuring me that no matter how successful i become at something or do something, at least I took the step to try. sometimes that is the only line between regret and contentment!
i’ve really struggled with finally having to heal from trauma and change. i’ve found myself wanting to go back to previous behaviors as well. i’m still in the process of allowing myself to be comfortable in my changing stage and it’s hard but pushing through anxiety has been the key to showing myself i’m more than capable. watching this has made me feel so at peace with knowing that the things i’ve been feeling and experiencing are normal. thank you for this video! it’s gonna help so many people out here.❤
This video is healing. Many months ago I went through a bad breakup. She was perfect. I’m young, and I’ve always had a fear of change and growing up, but she was just like me, childlike in nature. I recently found out she started drinking, and it triggered a wave of emotion. Seeing her grow up made me feel like I was the only one left, as if everyone else had grown up without me. I was upset that she had changed. I’m trying to confront the reality that time is going to pass, and that we’re all going to grow and change no matter what, and a lot of the wisdom you’ve shared has been helpful.
I feel like for so long i have been stagnant because i wont let go of old ways of coping. I thought going to college would help replace these urges but sometimes i fall back into them, and feel ashamed. What you're saying is resonating so much. i think I've always known what to do, but I've been too scared to follow through. Thank you 🙏🏼
I dont think you will ever comprehend how insanely insightful these things are. You say these things humbly that have made me deeply emotional looking at myself. thanks
