68 Year Old Man's Amazing Parting Gift to the World - the Meaning of Life!!!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 มิ.ย. 2024
- Paul and I were surprised at the positive reaction to our coffee garden chat about happiness, in which he stated that he could show people the nuts and bolts of how to be happy; a happiness toolbox, if you will. Thus, I contacted him in order to ascertain whether he would be interested in filming more content on happiness.
Paul has led quite an extraordinary life, full of tumultuous adventure, often living life on the edge in his personal quest to fully experience everything that life has to offer always. He thought he'd seen and done it all in his younger years and, thus retreated to a much simpler life in the suburbs..... BUT.... he always felt that he had one GREAT book in him but he didn't know what until recently. After much pondering due to the positive reaction, Paul is already writing said book and he wholeheartedly believes that this will be his 'parting' gift to the world in that the message will outlive both. It will be a guide (part interactive) on happiness, on how to begin to be happy. It will be accompanied by 5 or 6 videos, which I will upload on my channel over the coming months.
Today's video is an introduction to our future collaboration on a Guide to HAPPINESS.

Paul has found his way of navigating life and is content and appreciatives the simple things in life….something we have all seem to have lost these days
Indeed mate, he sure has. Thanks for watching.
Paul, I have been a practitioner of Buddhism for 20 ish years. Of course at the core is living in the "now"...I have lived in much anxiety on a daily basis fretting over the past and worrying about the future...always ending the day at some equilibrium via the Buddhist tools..However listening to your explanation...the Simple story of living in the "MOMENT" ahhh like a super epiphany..My living in the now was in my mind living in the Day (24hours)...2 hours of my mind wondering off (my monkey mind) then an hour or so bringing him back and settling him down. But changing the DAY to the MOMENT does not give my Monkey a chance to play havoc on my thoughts... The Now is not the 24hour day Its Simply This Moment! Paul, You Have a Gift..I hope you keep sharing your stories and mindset!!! Thank you!
This comment makes my heart sing on this hot and sultry morning here in Thailand! My original idea was to do a series of videos on happiness in general, but I'm pleased we got to do a couple. I concur that Paul does have a gift, in my opinion, particularly as to how he explains things. I am so very happy that this video has helped even one person even a little bit, but I'm even happier for you Parrish!! Have a wonderful day, wherever you may be, and watch out for that naughty little monkey.
It would be great if he did a course. Everything he says is so practical. I love the fact that he doesn't give a crap what people think. I love this guy!!!
Thanks Carmella, he is working on it right now. Yes, he has achieved what a lot of us aspire to, I think.
Namaste Paul 👍👍👍👍☺. Good to see you here. Thank you for posting and sharing your great stories.
Thanks for watching mate 🙏
Paul, what a lovely man❤. Anyone who can share happiness and how to achieve it in any way or form is a great thing👍😄
Couldn't agree more mate! More happiness and less everyday life-created anxiety is needed in this tricky world we live in 🙏
Count me in for that "Book of Happiness" Mr Wallace!
✌🙏
keep it up! ✌
Thanks for the encouragement, we will mate.
Hi guys, really looking forward to the videos. Cheers:)
Thanks mate. I'm looking forward to filming and editing them. When you strip away the outer layers, Paul is like a breath of fresh air in the way he views himself and the world.
Keep up the great work Jim!
My mother in law had 3 tooth left at 75 years old and she did just fine eating everything she wanted. We took her to the dentist and she got new dentures. She complained how tight they were and she rarely used them. Needless to say, it was a waste of money. She has passed on now a year ago at 85 and yes, she wore her dentures then in her coffin. RIP. Paul, you are fine the way you are, sir 💓👏
RIP to your Mother-in-Law ❤ Paul is a great guy - he genuinely isn't bothered about how he is perceived, particularly at first sight. I think he may be onto something here and I am prepared to take the risk and support him in trying to spread the word of happiness. Thanks as always Batman 🙏
@@JBWanders73 You definitely have found a great person to share some things about happiness JB 😁😁as Paul would say, blissful happiness
Ive only found this channel today and on my third video of watching Paul. I would definitely buy his book and be interested in following his advice he has to offer in the future. I did a 10 day silent meditation retreat in Thailand over 20 yrs ago and I did feel it calmed my core down but have since got lost back into the Western fast pace of life
✌🙏✌
Awesome...
Thanks mate ✌🙏
LOVE THIS MAN!!! Hope I can meet him someday, peace from Thailand.
Thanks for watching mate. I'm sure he will reply to this soon.
So pleased you decided to do more videos with Paul. I liked the previous two and look forward to hearing Paul’s insights. Not sure which group of followers I belong to but just listening to Paul makes me happy. 👍
Thanks very much. We have another video out too, which is my latest video, where Paul talks about some fascinating subjects.
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have watched the latest video featuring Paul. Most of what he says I am already aware of apart from his own personal experiences. As well as being fascinating they are also controversial as there are many different interpretations of the phenomena he talks about.
Paul is experienced man Sir You deserve to be Ambassador Diplomat the whole world needs your experience great Man .
Thanks mate
Sir welcome
Good for you Paul! We care too much about what people think. Live your life the way that makes you happiest. That's all that matters.
Wise words.. thanks for watching
Big compliments JB, its a bliss ( lol ! ) to listen and think about what Paul is saiing - some wise words !👍Absolutely like this vlog, Thanks a lot JB Love it 💝if you do more talks with Paul
Thanks a lot Cindy, appreciate that. We will do a series of videos, commencing in a month or so 🙏❤
Yes the book might be interesting. Or a video audio series even better.
He is working on it now. It will be a video and audio series, with an e-book and a print -on-demand book too. I'm really looking forward to it.
The first video on this topic already put me on a track to happiness. Thank you for that. True happiness comes from inside. It's all about mindset
Great to hear that! I hope your happiness continues unabated 🙏
Don't care about platitudes about happiness: I want exciting stories!
You should have a look at Thairish Time's channel - he has some great and exciting stories on there mate - some really good interviewa. Most of the exciting stories I could tell about people on here would get me into a LOT of trouble haha.... Alternatively, have a watch of the interview I did with a Karen tribesman last year who encountered THREE tigers in the jungle.

I watched it in 2 sittings, great thumbnail btw. In all honesty I already consider myself to be a happy man but I guess a happiness blueprint can only help in this day and age with all the complexities that have become part of our lives. I think when you live in Thailand part of the Buddhist philosophy rubs off on you regardless and certainly helps you to deal with the everyday frustrations.
Thanks Karl, appreciate that mate. Yeah, you do seem happier than most people and I'm sure all the walking and exercise helps a lot!
So this never took off?! That is a damn shame man.
I totally agree mate... I thought it was a given.... but Paul said this video didn't do well enough to justify doing it!??
Got a spare room to rent? I would love to blow this failing popsicle stand (US) ASAP, &, thanks for your videos.
Book a holiday and test the waters bro.... the Land of Smiles awaits you. You are very welcome! Thanks.🙏
as i get older i do realise that material things dont matter i just want a nice peaceful life to do the things that i want to do and it doesn,t matter what people think so long as your happy
but what a great guy paul is would love to meet him myself as part of my journey
Totally agree with you there mate. Thanks a lot for watching. 🙏
I like this guy, he does remind me of the old guy in Steptoe and son😂
He told me that he even used to get called old man Steptoe at school 😂🙏
@JBWanders73 bloody hell, he could probably get into nightclubs when he was 4 years old lol.
😂😂😂
@@JBWanders73 I was going to say he's long in the tooth, but let's not go there 😆
He told the tooth, the whole tooth and nothing but the tooth!
Every video I watch with Paul it always makes me feel better. He should have his own channel.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks 🙏
Paul's books:
The Essential Guide To Living In Thailand: amzn.to/3kpmkCQ
A Wanderer's Words: amzn.to/3vrQTy7
Paul has certainly undergone a huge transformation since his days with The Sex Pistols when he was known as Johnny Rotten.
He'd had enough of anarchy in the UK so went for a holiday in the sun
@@JBWanders73 If anyone asks me what happiness is I tell them it's a song by Ken Dodd.
Haha, I thought exactly the same thing, he reminds me of Johnny Rotten
Does anyone have the link to the “travel story “book???
Sorry, I forgot to put it on here.... Check again in a while and I will have the link on the description.
Paul's Flower...💚🌼
❤🙏✌
Was contemplating having a go at his tooth - but then I let it go...🙂
😄
Lol
Paul, how to you produce sybilants with only three teeth in your head? How do you say, "she sells sea shells down by the sea shore?"
Actually, that's one of my favourite tongue twisters and am quite accomplished! The complete version is 'She sells sea shells sitting on the sea shore"
I am not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's son.
I am only plucking pheasants 'till the pheasant plucker comes.
@@JBWanders73 And plosive consonants like that are why we wear masks in a pandemic. Say those sentences in a beam of sunlight and watch the spit fly out of your mouth. Not a political comment. Just physiology.
Hahahaha very true Steve..... that reminds me of an Irish friend who was a teacher. He was educating his students on the 'TH' sound. However, with his accent, it came out as a strong 'T', as in 'tunder and lightning on a tursday'. He said there was saliva flying about all over the place!
