Your Dreams Don't Have to Make Sense, They Just Have to Make You Happy! 

❤ I wish I could find people with this mindset in real life and not just on RU-vid. When I talk about traveling and adventure, people around me think I’m crazy and usually I end up letting their fears become my fears and then I talk myself out of making any moves at all. I feel like there is so much more to life than staying in one place, working a job that’s wearing me out, and doing the same things day in and day out. I appreciate your videos so much. They give me hope.

I just wish people would just stop telling me how I need to live my life. People love to give you advice about how you should live your life. They act like you are crazy if you quit your job because it makes you miserable and not go back to work right away. Even though I have plenty enough money saved up to be fine until I find a job I want to do. People are so risk averse it’s ridiculous.

I told my Mum recently that I dream of playing blues harmonica on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. What reaction did I get? She just laughed and said "dream on". Absolutely disgusted with her, and all other toxic and negative people out there that try and trample other people's spirits. Really appreciate the positivity that you put out into the world.

I am getting ready to take chances ! I bought a van and am converting it and am creating a place to from online ! I put a short video I took on RU-vid and in 12 hours I had 1200+ views. Scared me because I thought ! Crap! What now … LOL 😂. I agree that taking chances helps boost yourself and live less fearlessly! But I also learned to Not Tell Anyone what I do ! It is much easier that way !

HEY TIM 🎊 🎉 🤣!!! After 18 years at the same company I FINALLY!!! took the leap and QUIT MY JOB on Monday I will say this though it’s scary and exciting at the same time Like you said in this video listening to your gut if it keeps bugging ya I appreciate you giving me the extra boost and courage I needed from previous videos Out of the comfort zone and into the unknown is living Be Safe 🎉

Love the sound of your steps ... crushing every fear the world tries to impose on you, doing exactly what you are ment to do, now that is true freedom. Be blessed my friend!

You could either be bored to death or scared to death. Being scared every now and then is good for the soul🤟🏼

Socrates said " The unexamined life is not worth living". By that, he meant that we must learn to know ourselves, our strengths and weaknesses, our temptations and aversions. And then develop ourselves to make life easier and more liveable for ourselves and others with whom we meet on our journey.

Tim, you are about to make me JUMP! Not sure why I am so paralyzed with fear. My parents had 6 children (I am the youngest) and if I take off and enjoy the world, I will be the first in my family to attempt it. None of us have ever lived outside our home state (OK); heck, my brothers still live at home. I have no example within my family. Thanks so much for pushing and encouraging me.

Tim. You actually inspired me to roll the dice. I was working a stable job in Florida. I decided to make a change I took a travel healthcare job. I'm going around the country. And one day I hope to open my own business.

You are the reason I got into seasonal work to the beginning with. I've done seasonal work now three times all three times in Glacier Park strictly because of your videos. Each of those times I left early though I admit it was more about the scenery and the beauty and the nature than it was about the jobs that I really didn't care for. 2019 I went to the Philippines. My friend was like how could you do that that's just crazy. Then I did the seasonal work 3 years in a row. Now I'm in Thailand and I did all this making like $11 an hour.

I concur. I am 54 years old, just retired from the military but unlike most of my peers I chose to go to college for Creative Media and every day of school homework is wonderful. I am energized feeling like I did when I was 17 years old. Thanks Tim, it's a great message.

Just happened upon your video by coincidence..I worked for a company for 34 years..and left it right before covid happened and retired...I just thought there has to be something else out there..that this can't be it..Paying bills ,still being in debt during those 34 years..Thank you ..,you are definitely throwing some great wisdom our way tonight..I still want to explore and I think about more things I want to do in my 60s..Great prospective you have there..it doesn't make sense but if it makes you happy..go for it....dreams are ideas looking for a way to happen!! My qoute for the week!!

YOU'RE F**KIN AWESOME TIM! THE MESSAGE IS ALWAYS INSPIRING🔥👊🏽

A perfect video for me as my RU-vid channel journey begins. My dream is to travel the world while showing on RU-vid the best parties as they're going on across the globe. Buying the camera tomorrow on my birthday and I've already paid the designer for my artwork. Here goes nothing!!

Now THAT'S a view! 🔥🙌🏽

What you're saying is true, and I agree with you 100%. I guess the hardest thing is to step off that cliff into uncertainty, into the void. Ive been doing warehouse work for almost ten years and I absolutely hate it and wish I could do something else that doesn't have a giant dollar sign hanging in front of it, but it's really hard! Hope I find that path cause time is always running out.

I haven't even got through your video yet but I had to comment because I was thinking about this kind of thing just this afternoon. I found myself thinking that some people around you will rob you of joy and other experiences because they try to frown on how you choose to be. Depending on your upbringing there are those around you that might even ridicule you for pursuing things that's outside of the norm for that particular group. Ultimately you might be robbing yourself of something that you might end up REALLY resonating with; just because you're afraid to be seen as 'weird' for doing stuff that's outside of the expected norm. That thought was jumping around my head like crazy earlier today. I'm 50 and have some regrets because I held back from pursuing certain things due to fear of 'judgement'; trying to remedy some of that nowadays.

Hey big head 😂. It’s nice to see you walking & talking again 🤗.

All 👏🏾 of 👏🏾 this 👏🏾!! So tired of the powers that be convincing us that stepping out into the unknown is a bad / dangerous / uncomfortable thing. Us living that way only benefits them, not us. In life we'll encounter dangers and uncomfortable situations no matter what we do; that's just a part of life. So knowing that, it makes more sense to me to go after what truly excites my heart and spirit. Odds are, there's a way to make a living out of such passions anyway. I'm starting a farm. I've never officially farmed myself. My mother's side of the family farmed and had an orchard decades ago, but I was a kid so not at all involved in the day to day running of things. I don't come from recent generations of farmers or ranchers, though I know that my ancestors farmed. So I'm going into this with only things I've been learning from RU-vid and blogs, and my brief experience raising quail and meat rabbits and growing a few things out on our deck. I've had tons of people ask me why I'd want to be a farmer? Do I like the idea of being poor the rest of my life (because apparently people think that all farmers are poor)? How do I expect to raise and butcher animals when I've never done it before? And why would I even want to do something that gross? Why would I want to do this as a woman when it's hard work that isn't "feminine?" What if my business fails and it turns out we invested all this money and time for nothing? And you know what? I don't get offended by those comments anymore, I just feel sorry for the people who made them. They don't even realize that their comments are coming from a place of fear and self-doubt. They don't even realize that they're afraid to take a step like this themselves, and so they're unconsciously (or maybe consciously, who knows) trying to stop others from taking that first step. They're scared to take that first step into the unknown themselves but don't want to be left behind either. And yeah, things might get rough here and there. I might have failures. I might lose money. I might get hurt. But any of those things can happen to me anyway, even if I don't take this step, so I might as well try it. Because you know what? If I keep at it, keep learning and refining how I do things, there will eventually be progress and successes as well. I'll learn important skills that, if nothing else, help me to become more self-sufficient. I'll experience and achieve things I never thought I could or would. At the very least I'll create a bit more food security for my family, which can only be a good thing in these uncertain times. I'll be doing something I love, that kept popping back up in my thoughts and daydreams for years. I'll be able to be my own boss, and have more control over the food I feed my family, my earning potential, our health, and our time. And there's a little girl who'll get to watch as we build this farm and business, and she'll have an opportunity to learn and experience stuff she'd never learn or experience in school. We might even make the switch to homeschooling to make sure she has a chance to learn the things that will really matter once she's out there in the world. ALL of that is far more important to me than the fear that things might not work out.

Timothy you’re like an older brother I wish I had but my real brother is such a “do what other people think I should do” type of person.

Hey Tim! 😊Thank you for the continued support and encouragement to escape modern day slavery to as much of a degree as possible. I am at a Crossroads in life... Buy the house I'm renting and be a slave to a bank, or move out and see what happens next. I really like my place and if I was going to buy a place, this would be the place, but i want freedom. I told you awhile back that I was getting rid of everything I own, and im in the process. "Life is a daring adventure or nothing at all!" Take care bro. Thank you for what you do 😊

Awesome scenery! Last time i was back home in the southwest i got really interested in geology. Amazing learning the history of the planet, gives a lot of perspective knowing the short years we're around are a blink of the eye compared to the million/billion year journeys these rocks around all us have been on. Got me homesick! Great stuff man

❤❤❤ I’m sitting here wondering why I’m still working the day job to pay the bills to have the home office to work the day job. You have me rethinking my current set up. Thank you !

You’re so right about taking our freedoms for granted for whatever excuses of “I can’t.” There are people who are disabled who wish they could have just one more adventure. Everyone wishes that could. Instead of caging ourselves in imaginary limitations, we really ought to imagine our possibilities,

Thanks man for taking us through the red rocks, sharing, and celebrating whatz truly up! 🙌

I love this video! I’m planning on exiting society before the end of 2022 and this video sealed the deal for me! Love your Walk n’ Talks, keep ‘EM coming! ❤ to you!

What an amazing message & scenery. Tryna shake off this comfort zone mindset a lot more this year. Life is good 😊

Comfort zone Chris 🤣Real talk @ 11:55 I'm going to have to remind myself of that too.

I Love You Cousin! I just Do.What an Awe-Mazzzzzing Message. You are the Epitome of a State of Mind and Be-ing called FREEEE. How dare you introduce us to what we REALLY want to do?! Lol. Nina Symone and Stevie Wonder sang and incredible and liberating song called 'FREE'. Your message reintroduces all of us to the infinite joy and freedom in this realm and absolutely real and tangible state of Being. Thank you for the Challenge, for your courage and daring us all to take the Leap. I'm on my way. Cannonballllllll!

Perfect timing on this video man. I’m working on a pretty crazy project right now & I have had people basically tell me to give up but I’m not going to. Thanks for dropping this vid

My friend, you have explored my home state more than myself in the quarter century I've been here! If that's not message enough to make some changes, I don't know what is!

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and the beautiful scenery! This message really resonates with me at the moment. I have been holding back on some of my creative endeavors lately to make time and space for friends and family. Last week, I decided I needed to do something for myself, so I took a spontaneous trip to the Oregon Coast. Inspired by your channel, I decided to upload some of the nature videos from my trip to RU-vid. Big surprise people actually watched them! Anyways, thank you so much for the inspiration to get out of my comfort zone and explore a new creative idea :)

Beautiful walk and talk. Life is ever changing. We only need to BE STILL. Living the dream...

Thanks Tim , that was beautifully said and the views amazing! Things are so crappy right now but your videos help to push on, bless you . I don't understand why there are no others out here in RL to run into that share our mindset , sad....

Peace Tim! My good brother and fellow introvert 😎

Tim, I think you are my spirit animal. Been at a fork in the road & this video just gave me what I needed to find the courage to make the decision that is right for me. Keep being awesome man .

Beautiful scenery!

Toward the end of the video, it reminded me of the Grand Canyon. Nice.

I love Colorado!! Thank You!!

I recently watched a video about cycle syncing (living life according to menstrual cycle) for women, and it said that during the menstrual phase women should be resting and reflecting, and if there are any thoughts that come up month after month, we should be paying attention to them, because they’re there for a reason. Similar to what you say here… my thoughts always wander to traveling and seeing new things and immersing myself and my kids in other cultures. It’s hard because I’m a single mom already living paycheck to paycheck, so I don’t know how to make the first move…. And I feel like the more I try to figure it out, the farther I am from an answer and I get so frustrated and then slightly depressed. So I’m trying not to force anything but I also don’t want to remain stagnant. Any thoughts on this? How did you decide to jump into the lifestyle you’re currently in? How did you get started? Going to scroll through your videos to see if you’ve already spoken on this but I’d love to hear your thoughts. Are there smaller, less risky moves I could make now to put me closer to my dream of leaving the rat race as a single parent? We currently don’t go anywhere or really know anyone here or try new things much because of money and time and low energy. I manage my household and getting my kids where they need to be and bills and all by myself so at the end of the day, I’m overwhelmed and drained of energy. It feels like there is never enough time in the day to do all I need to do and honestly, my entire being is just…. TIRED. What more could I do? So that it isn’t so scary when I do finally find a way out? I feel trapped and my kids are bored with life and I hate this for them. I understand this isn’t your situation, so if you have no input just know that I greatly appreciate your videos anyway. Thank you!

Please write a children's book about Comfort-zone Chris and Stay-at-Home Stan! 😂😂🤣🤣

Freedom!

Quitting my job in June ago pursue my dreams and travel

Wow this is great

“Roll the dice”

I recently quit my dead end job. It was sucking the life out of me and I have decided to take the leap in doing travel seasonal jobs. Some of my friends think I’m crazy but this video has given me inspiration to do it. Thank you ❤

Great vid! Great scenery but most of all great food for thought. Thanks Timothy for being on this planet😊

Only 8% of the people leave the Rim of the Grand Canyon ! People are scared !

"you see these deer just rolled up on me, it's okay I'm a youtuber" 🤣 💀

Always nice to go on an outing 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙏🏽. Awesome views👍🏽👍🏽

Great stuff Tim. You're always uplifting 🤗

This is so on time, thank you!!! 🙏 💕

The deer was a prime example of what you're talking about. They didn't let anything stop them from getting back on that trail. They took a detour and got right back on track, lol.

🫶🏽🔥🔥 The scenery and this conversation my week is made!

Colorado looks amazing

Thanks 🙏. Loved this one !

Oh my I love this topic ❤

Gorgeous scenery Tim!

refreshing perspective

Gorgeous scenery Tim 😍

Omg I missed the walk and talks! And the deer scene.... Beautiful

Thanks tim

Nice view Tim.

Hello!!!!

that park is gorgeous!

love your concept of your future self guiding you wow that's encapsulated an idea I was mulling over but you nailed it!

Absolutely love this! Such an on time word. Blessings Tim ❤️

Good afternoon !😊 Glad I finally caught you online

Yea I get it & doin it..lol by lil thx 4 the message.

These are my favorite kinds of uploads from this channel ❤

Tks. much.

Thanks so much Tim for all your wisdom you giving I really appreciate you sharing

Great video!!

It is Rutting season ! The boys are a little crazy this time of year !

😯U are better than me. I don't know what I'd do if I was that close to those deer😳I gotta become a RU-vidr 😆Beautiful scenery🦌I'm rolling the dice!

Yo Tim! This right here, R E S O N A T E S heavy

That was an interesting talk. The bit about "time" was really interesting, but mainly b/c I had read a science article talking about life & the passage of time, awhile back.. so at least it made some semblance of sense to me. Definitely a concept that's not easy to digest quickly. Going to watch a commercial or 2 for you. Honestly you gave some good simple straight forward advice in this video. Glad I watched it. The notion that "Ideas that keep coming back may have some sound reasons for being there" for good or bad.

…take some risks and role the dice…. You are great, Tim.

Nice

Algorithms stuff

Yessir!

*Your First!

I just missed you. Was out delivering there today

I don't know what my dream is. If i knew what i really wanted i would quit my job and do it. I dont know how to find my dream.

HECK YEAH! I am about to leave a six figure job, buy a van and travel for one year before setting down roots wherever the road takes me. Everyone thinks I'm crazy....oh, well

Easy to say with no kids but love the thought

I just got back from traveling, and out of nowhere, I started packing and selling my stuff & furniture. Gonna end this lease agreement for this apartment after next month. What then? Dunno! This is just the thing that LIFE is making me do and it feels like the right thing to do. Ofc. this sounds batshit crazy to someone (family for example) who does not live in my shoes, that's why I don't even tell them! Ofc. I'm searching for remote jobs etc. at the same time and with this flow, I feel landing one is not even far. Yep, trust life!
