you're so right about alcohol / drugs. very few people talk about this, it's so normalized

some good advice, it is a matter of self respect and seeing the value in yourself. Like with marketing. Why would you sell beautiful paintings for cheap? It just makes it seem low-worth.

so nice to see someone who is also an artist talking about this 'deeper' side of life. The more I learn about 'awakening' and spirituality, the more I realize it's filtering out all of these old patterns and stuff we've accumulated, and transmuting these energies. Freeing yet intimidating. The stuff about free tuition art school intrigued me, I need to look into that, as the lifelong debt in the Netherlands doesn't seem worth it to me. I'm still highly dependent on my mother, living at home, and it's starting to feel suffocating. Coming out of a depression and social isolation of years and I would love to do so many things now... start a ceramics and illustration business, live on my own, meet real friends, maybe a partner, maybe move abroad or travel.... but the traditional route that is promoted everywhere, of 'eat, sleep, work, suffer' doesn't work anymore. The entire approach has to change, energetically, in all areas. Anyways, it is lovely to see your personality and wisdom in these videos, they are nourishing and inspiring. Thank you

Around 2008 I j-walked in an empty suburb outside Toronto and cop gave me ticket. The city has since gone to shit and we have drug addicts wandering into the streets all the time with no consequences. Crazy how much a society can change. Great video and message!

BRUHHHH OOF uploaded this after i accidentally gave away all my personal info to a scammer :((((((((( pray for me people ❤😅

❤❤❤❤❤Nice

I was gonna say it looks pretty grey then realized how bad phones are

Even though I disagreed with one of your other videos, I agree with your message in this one! Thank you for this. It's a reminder a lot of people need. While expensive designer goods can make a person feel good temporarily, it often causes a reliance and an addiction that does more harm than good in the long run. True confidence and true happiness come from valuing yourself and working on things that will take you to that sense of fulfillment.

22:03 I would gladly honk if I see a stuck-up, snobby person walking across thinking they're all that. I have more empathy for people who are humble and grounded. Even if they lack confidence, style, or grace, I can still empathize for them and, if I get the chance, try to help them.

20:53 That "mindset" is a bit narcissistic, don't you think?

Let's remember to have empathy for those who aren't as confident, whether it's seen in how they walk or not. All this is cool, but it means nothing if you're looking down on people and believing you're better than others.

whats jay walking? Im from London

not the ovaries shriveling 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Whenever someone reaches out for a handshake, i offer a fist for fist bumping. ive never had anyone not convert to the bump.

i jaywalk on a skateboard. i jayskate.

💌Love this, Wan Lin! Turning jaywalking into a confidence hack is pure genius. 💃🌟🌸❤

I've always disagreed with the ethics of art competitions. Especially competitions hosted and/or juried by non-artists. Never voluntarily entered one, and whenever I felt socially or professionally coerced into participating (at university or activities at work) I always threw it intentionally.

I jaywalked - fare jumped etc - anything that involves this kind of risk is about flow and timing and mood and feeling the moment. Not evereyone can do this - it is genetic in my opinion. Very interesting video first time I heard someone talk about this thing that happens in the corner of the eye (happens all the time but people are not aware of it)- Welcome to the secret society of JayFlowWalking 😊

Reminds me of Marla Singer in Fight Club - Here is the clip that this reminded me of th-cam.com/video/qympcp3ZEss/w-d-xo.html

she sounds like a walking red flag. Also, body language confidence isnt a realistic curriculum for school. What a moron

7:33 reminds me of Robert Greene "Mastery". This talent to predict events, almost a habit.

the groundedness of a man's walk! Tennis player John McEnroe has that, but he has the advantage of having perfect body proportions. In college I did some pond skating with a woman whose verticality pierced the horizon. Staked to the center of the earth. The perpendicularity of her shins!

Thank you for another insightful video, Wan Lin! Very interesting thoughts. I like the angle you approached this topic, and I understand what you mean by "their energy pierces down through the ground they are walking on." I can also relate to the family that runs sheepishly even if the light is green. Growing up I've been conditioned to be sheepish and scared of everything outside the apartment. I remember when I was a teenager and started using public transportation, I was having a great day, I was in a good mood and then I approached the bus station I got annoyed that I had to stop having a good day and that it felt like I had to become all scared and sheepish while waiting for the bus because "pay attention, be careful, hang onto your belongings, do not let anyone rob you" and other BS that adults in my life would tell me. I think that was the first glimpse of me realizing I was conditioned to look for danger in places where I needed to be confident instead; that living in fear and thinking "Someone's out there to get me" is not doing me any favors. It was reassuring to hear you say that most people do not want to maliciously hurt other people. Thank you!

Your video on the lack mentality transferred from immigrant parents to their children was so accurate for me! It is something that I had to work on for years, among other traumas related to how my parents raised me. Your honesty is very refreshing and much needed in this World. Love you and your videos!

Shut me up! 🤭💕

Oh your video on being the child of immigrants was super spot on for me. I had to break through a lot of limited beliefs about money and spending that my parents indirectly passed on to me.

Dear princesse thank u for being urself 🙏🏼 ✋🏼😔🤚🏼 🔥

I love you love you love you so much

I submitted to a competition, I didn't win. But my piece was sold to a collector (that's a validation).

They have internal issues cause they couldn't hang in the industry so they take it out on their students. That's what I really paid for in art school. There are always those exceptions though and I wish they were the dominant.

Thank you for sharing. You’re so gifted

Can't wait to see your new paintings!

🚨 Important message here! ✨🤭

This haircut is amazing!!

I did cut my past credit card from my parents. coincidence?

i agree with the prayer part i forget to do that sometimes espeically when i get really hungry haha

pretty

Submitting to a competition: 👎 Submitting to a small local Magazine: 👍

Wan Lin, your art tutorials were such an inspiration! 🎨✨ We’d love to see more of your incredible instructional videos-they’ve always been so helpful and full of creativity! 💖🌟

I think this happens to everyone in every field, not just art. We start out with limiting beliefs and limiting thoughts. And we have an innate stupidity that seems to prevent learning. But every now and then some people manage to open their eyes to some degree. That’s a rather strange phenomenon. As if there were a long secondary gestation period. Come to think of it, I don’t know how many so-called gestation periods there might be in human development. But if you disturb these periods, let’s say, that might ruin them too. Stillbirth, so to speak. I still think you have interesting thoughts by the way. Thanks for sharing.

This reminds me of that one tip from Art Prof. they said to NEVER go for art galleries that makes you pay for them to exhibit your art. I’ve been offered this opportunity but there was something that feels dirty about paying someone to display my work.

A lot of teachers are also out of touch and bitter. Many are moderate to not that successful in their field and have to teach. Many are great but many others will try to sabotage you or even outright steal your work/ideas. They are washed up has-beens or never-beens trying to tell you what works. The most successful artists don''t have time teach - they are booked and busy performing and showcasing exhibitions around the world.

I notice the same names always popping up winning the competitions/fellowships etc. The jurors and winners are always friends and cronyism is so real. These same organizations claim to be so 'decolonial' and 'anti-establishment' yet are so elitist and exclusionary. Also, if you aren't pimping out your trauma as a minority they won't accept you. You have to play identity politics - be BIPOC, trans, disabled, poor etc. it's all Just bs.

Thank you for sharing this video :) I also similarly grew up middle class with immigrant parents with so much negativity attached to the idea of money: scarcity, guilt, stress, bad health, relationship conflict, etc. So I really appreciate your bravery in sharing these thoughts because I've been having them too and I think many would be too scared to talk about them!

BA knows

I love how you wear the golden sun and style it differently every video 💗🌞

There is a high-end supermarket chain in the US called Wegmans and they had an employee dressed in an elaborate type of statue costume sitting on the bench by the self-checkout monitoring the customers during Halloween time. I had to do a double take at first because I was completely fooled and then shocked! It was absolutely brilliant and classy. Some businesses just get it.

I am divinely protected, and highly favoured by God. Amen ✝️

Aaah, this one's for me.🤍 I can't wait.
