"because no one else is going to live for me" Love it man. I'm going to try using that one next time I let myself be paralyzed by fear of what I actually WANT to do. Good reminder of how valuable the life we've been given is, so that we can stop taking it for granted. Great stuff
Another EXCELLENT video! I think everyone has been there. This is the most beautiful footage, too. I think whenever I feel stuck I'm going to play this video. Peace. ✌❤🎶🙋♀️
ahh now that makes my day to hear. I have a few videos like that that I watch when I am stuck / need encouragement etc. (heres a reaaallllly good one: vimeo.com/36519586)
Welcome back my friend. You were missed. Great video. You have touched others with your words and actions. Don't judge me, I care for my mother full-time. I wait on the sidelines of life, waiting, waiting for her to move on to the afterlife so I can start living. You have made me stop and reflect, to take those small steps of forward trajectory. As they say, Today IS the first day of the rest of your life. I don't want to miss any one day in the present. Thank you, Jeremiah.
I could never judge anyone for the circumstances of their own life, especially not when you are sacrificing of yourself for the betterment of another. That is perhaps one of the most admirable things to do with one's time. I can't pretend to understand your life, but I can try to honestly reflect on my own and thereby give you a new perspective from which to see your own! :) Thank YOU for encouraging ME today, carpam!
Captivating video. Honest words. You’re authenticity towards the journey you are on and the bends in the road you find yourself taking in always inspiring. Thank you for sharing your work and inner reflections with us. I find much of what you share relatable and helpful. I too subscribe to the mantra that “motion creates opportunity” and sometimes all that means to me, is taking the smallest of steps in order to remain on a forward trajectory. Sometimes that movement can be sitting up out of bed and that’s big enough, other times it can be as big as taking a trip or a major life change. Now you got me reflecting! 🙏
ahhh I truly could not have put it better myself. Sometimes it can be as small as sitting up out of bed or as big as taking a trip or major life change... that perfectly captures how I see the fear/paralyzing effect I am talking about! Thank you for being here and sharing your insights, I quite enjoy engaging with them.
❤️ Jerimiah, I don't have the words to express how deeply this resonated with me at this precise moment in my life. I choose to live, because I won't let fear be the reason I don't. Thank you.
@@JeremiahLuke I felt compelled to come back here tonight. 7months. Wow. 7mths since you inspired me to legally begin the process of selling my home. Today, after 7mths of renovations and battling my mind, I sold my home. In just two weeks, I'll be a fulltime vanlifer - because you showed us what happens when we embrace our fears and choose to live anyway 💙 thank you Jerimiah, my friend. I'm afraid - and it's beautiful.
ahh thank you, anna! This made me smile. this is one of those videos that i wrestled with for weeks before finishing / uploading... one of those that I assumed would finally be the one where people diverge from my thinking / experience and point out how out of touch i am with normal human experience. Yet, here we are. I love relating to people thru the vulnerable stuff portrayed as best i can with my camera.
Jeremiah, I just listened to your video. I think fear is the absence of faith. Faith in what you might ask? Maybe confidence in yourself and the Almighty to guide you through life. Maybe some of what you are feeling is tied up in a longing for companionship. It is not good for man to be alone. You are blessed with youth and good health. Enjoy this opportunity in your life and yes set goals and make plans. Remember failing to plan is planning to fail. Also are you getting the exercise you need to produce those good feeling chemicals in your brain? Praying for you brother!
I appreciate you! covering all the bases here, i love it. I think the hardest parts for me are the between plan parts... when one plan finishes and the next is either still in development or it can't start for some time yet... that limbo period is always so hard! But realizing that has helped a lot in getting through it and on to the next thing.
The "between plan part" is what takes faith and trust to get you to the next step in your journey. Rome wasn't built in a day. Do and be the best you can and know how to be through out your life. Then you have peace. If you make mistakes or when you make mistakes learn from them and grow. This is your journey! You can obtain advice from many in this world, but I recommend seeking Godly counsel. Be all you can be! Keep learning who Jeremiah is.
crying or laughing... thats really what i am going for here on this channel haha. Really though! that made me excited and happy to see! To break away from that paralyzing fear... in both big and small, daily ways. You've done that!
thank you! I lost all the audio from the hiking trip so i had to re-purpose the footage... I did sell the van! I am currently living with family working a contract job for another month before setting out on the next thing.. don't tell anyone, but my hope is to ride my motorcycle to argentina
Dang! I am sorry I missed this until now, and I check just about daily! You put your heart into this one and laid it out there for us. Can't help but wonder if that final scene had a little extra meaning behind it? Hope you will forgive me for being a little envious that you require a bit more blur than I would! Will up my game of looking for more projects!
hahah oh wow, i just laughed quite hard in this hostel lobby. I blur extra because one time i DIDNT and I didnt take into account the swinging / swaying that happens during a shower... enough said. Can't wait to start the next series of videos on my next journey! Probably lots of blurred river swimming (to keep the people satiated)
Keep on keeping on. What you do is wonderful. Speaking as someone old enough to be your mother, it may not get any easier, but life is so exciting, good and bad, I am happy I stayed on the planet and enjoyed the ride. Please do the same 💜
ahh thank you, mojo :) i love people old enough to be my mom, they tend to be cooler than other people Thank you for supporting :) I am really excited for what could come next... even in the hard days i remind myself that beautiful things lay around so many corners and turns ahead
As I watched this video it reminded me of some young guys I used to coach. I not sure what’s your sports background might be or if this analogy works for you but here goes. A young fella got up to bat his overwhelming concern was to not strike out. The first pitch was beautiful right over the plate strike one. The next one a ball outside the next one inside but very hittable. The next and last one was a fast ball outside for the final and third strike. Four pitches never swung the bat and back to the dugout. His fear of striking out prevented him from swinging the bat. I had other guys on the team that went to the plate with one thing in mind just get on base. They didn’t care if they hit if they walked or got hit by a pitch or even hoping the catcher dropped the ball on the third strike. The latter group we’re fired up with anticipation knowing that there were several possibilities. The first guy was only focused on the possibility of failure. Step to the plate my friend and even if you get hit by a pitch you still end up on base.
hell yeah. I love this analogy although i had a bad relationship with baseballs growing up (smashed my face up real good) I appreciate it nonetheless. That really hits to the core too. I think i spend most of my time aware of failures (possible, crazy unrealistic ones, past ones etc all of em!). I will think of this the next time i am getting stuck in that mindset!
Curious why fear based motivation is a theme here. What about switching the dialog to what would I love to do? What would thrill me to experience? What is the future story of my life that excites me? Fear based motivation is a good basis for social manipulation. It's why religion is an influential force. It's why media focuses on the negative with narratives based on fear, uncertainty and doubt. F.U.D is the great way to get eye-balls and clicks, to distract people and to keep them off-balance. Just found your channel today and while I'm drawn to it, I'm also questioning if it will help me in finding my future story that excites me to get up in the morning thinking "Wow, I get to do this today!"
I can' tell you how poignant and wonderful it is to hear you draw out this distinction. The change from fear-based to excitement or hope-based motivation and outlook has been an ongoing battle of mine for many years. I discovered in college that I was strictly using fear and self-ridicule to move forward and accomplish more...as you can imagine, it was unsustainable and awful. I am still fighting with old, strong habits to change my outlook. This current motorcycle trip I am on is helping force me to try to change.
I love that! Was it Winston Churchill who said, "when you're going through hell, keep going."? I love that quote and how you've articulated a similar thought here. Very meaningful in affecting change.
well damn. that might be the nicest thing ever. that is just the type of feel I want with these type of videos. I essentially had to get into a flow state / out of my own way to write and re write and record and record this over and over until it didnt feel canned but still felt thought out
"because no one else is going to live for me" Love it man. I'm going to try using that one next time I let myself be paralyzed by fear of what I actually WANT to do. Good reminder of how valuable the life we've been given is, so that we can stop taking it for granted. Great stuff

@@JeremiahLuke awe thanks. I happen to think you put it best and you are welcome, thanks for creating beautiful thought provoking content.
Yes, yes, and yes. Thank you for your words, thoughts and insights. I’m right there with ya. 🤙🏼
somehow..it always surprises me when people relate spot on with what I try to clearly and purely convey. Thanks for speaking up, Hunter!
Very deep and completely honest, thanks for sharing Jeremiah!
ahh you are welcome, Tammy! those are words of high praise in my opinion. Things to aspire to :)
Beautifully said. Beautiful editing too.🙌
ahh thank you, Mary! I get better with each one.
You’re a legend Buddy. You’ll get there. Good honest stuff. Thanks.
ahh thank you, AJ! If I am a legend now... i can't wait to see what I am in 5 years haha
beautifully real in every aspect. couldn't stop watching.
thanks man miss you ♥️
Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
it is my pleasure and humble honor :)

This is an amazing story. I have always wanted to try this life. To go wherever u want to see everything u want to see. That is truly amazing
thank you :) this is encouraging to me as I set out on a new journey as we speak...
Wow. Everything about this video is beyond words, but I will try - it’s evoking, wonderful and your cinematography is stunning.
ahh thank you, anna! This made me smile.

SOOO well done Jeremiah - keep making these videos, they are wonderful
thank you so much, Yula :) I am so grateful for you two being here and supporting!
Beautiful video and entirely relatable.

What beautiful views of our fearsome nature!! My lungs want to go there haha
haha my lungs died there
@@JeremiahLuke 😲
Don't mind me, I'm just over here crying 🥲 that same paralytic fear kept me from coming out for far too many years.
crying or laughing... thats really what i am going for here on this channel haha. Really though! that made me excited and happy to see! To break away from that paralyzing fear... in both big and small, daily ways. You've done that!
Still happy to see you! ❤️❤️❤️
happy to be here!
Another beautiful video!
:) so glad you are still here, Ted!!
Dude, so good. This video is so well done and I’m glad you are choosing to just live and enjoy life the best you can! Anxiety can be a real bitch.
thank you! Gotta keep pushing through whatever keeps us from gettin out there
Cool vid. Btw, did you sell your van? How is your new ride?
thank you! I lost all the audio from the hiking trip so i had to re-purpose the footage...
I did sell the van! I am currently living with family working a contract job for another month before setting out on the next thing.. don't tell anyone, but my hope is to ride my motorcycle to argentina
