“Bran thought about it. 'Can a man still be brave if he's afraid? ' 'That is the only time a man can be brave,' his father told him.”
-George RR Martin
YES! This is one of my favourite quotes.
The last line really hit me. I’m realising that my ability to forgive myself & others, to love deeply and to be vulnerable depends on my ability to live in the present moment. It takes a lot of courage to be present without the assurance that everything will be okay or that things won’t transpire as they did in the past. At the end of the day we never know for sure how things will turn out and that can be a scary thought to sit with. So looking back at moments where I was present enough to be myself I realise how brave I have been. Reminds me of the Winnie The Pooh quote about how we are braver than we believe (or can ever imagine) & stronger than we seem. It’s hard to see how incredible you are in the present (literally can’t haha), so I guess this is a reminder to anyone that reads this that you are 🤍
Thank you for capturing the same thoughts i had after hearing this!❤ especially the part about assurance of everything being different than what we expected..
aw this was really well said. :) thanks for that it’s really helpful
Your channel is the reason I still believe that I’ll be able to achieve all my goals. I have properly known you for just two weeks but it feels like forever haha and I’m not even kidding I watched all your videos, EVERY SINGLE ONE of them in like 3 days. You’ve literally changed my entire perspective and I cannot thank you enough for that. I am going to start learning a new language, meet new people and get out of my comfort zone. I love how you’re always down to overcome your fears and try new things. You’ve given me a reason to love my life more. I am gonna convince my parents to let me travel more at all costs. Your channel gives me hope that one day I’ll get there and all this struggle will be worth it. Thank you so much, you’re awesome and I know that I’ll always watch your videos no matter what. I’m so grateful for you.
Such a wonderful talk. Less polish, but authentic. Is something I enjoy about this No Backup Plan channel. Also, thank you for the book recommendation! I've added it to my list.
"Privilege of belonging," I really like that phrase.
"worrying/stressing about something is like sitting on a rocking chair, it keeps you busy but gets you nowhere" I stumbeld upon this quote and it changed the way I think. every time I worried about something i switched it off by realizing how pointless that is.
Vai. E, se der medo, vai com medo mesmo. (Portuguese )- Go, and if you're scared, Go really scared.
This quote helps me be courageous and jump into things even if it scares me. And the end result is that i come out of that situation braver.

É tão complicado internalizar isso... As preocupações tomam minha cabeça, que acabam me paralisando mesmo, vou ter conceber esses conselhos e andar.
I find myself beaming whenever I watch these personal, sit-down videos of yours. You speak with such poise yet softness, self-realization yet shyness. The dichotomy is wonderful. :) Never stop being you and sharing your discoveries with us, because we are all so much better off for it.

I feel like I'm sitting with you listening to you speaking. Thank you for this

How many comments are you gonna make just to gain subscribers
Nathaniel, you've got hair on your head ! Those all consuming worries will begin to make it fall out again, if you are consumed by them !! You've changed something inside and that has manifested on the outside. Well Done. Enjoy each day, as if it was your last, don't fret over the past or want for the future. Just live each day, with integrity and humility and everything else will fall into place. I promise .. Greetings from Montreal.
I'm trying to make this year my 'year of courage', so this was a really nice way to re-ground myself and clarify what Courage actually means.

There are 3 options:
- walk away from it
- change it
- accept it
Watching these genuine relatable experiences of your everyday life that you share, is unlike anything that you get on this otherwise pretentious world of internet.
Thanks for sharing your life experiences. It's like knowing a friend you never met.
I started crying within 10 seconds of you starting reading, such powerful words, read by one of the people i most respect, appreciate and am inspired by on this planet, thanks Nathaniel, as always.
Me: -about to go to sleep-
-see Nathaniel Drew posted about a new video on Instagram-
Me: I don't need to sleep
This is the type of things that are important to be taught in order to live the life with as much clarity as possible. Understanding what deserves our mental energy is essential to consistently lead a contented life every day. Maybe we cannot be happy in the moment but at least we could feel ‘enough’
How do you narrow down your words? I always feel like I have too much to speak and have very little idea on when and where to pull the brakes before it becomes useless or the viewers lose interest. How to engage more effectively? Got some words for me?
Really love these talk videos.
Its so authentic and brings a new reflection of these important themes.

Thank you for the reminder to live a life with open heart for the things that really matter
Nathaniel is just one of the most authentic youtubers I follow. A deep thinker and a joy to watch. 👍
*It is much better to light a candle than to just complain about the darkness.*
_I believe in you, and I hope you have an amazing day!_ 🖤🙏
The issue is not having fears, but to be able to go through the obstacles with courage, very, very difficult but rewarding
Literally opened this a few seconds after posting...
Just wanted to say - you're a true inspiration man! love your stuff! on both channels!
Brene Brown's ted talk was where i first heard about this origin & meaning of the word courage..if you're looking for more wonderful content on this topic i'd recommend checking it out :)
You are a big part of why I make things online, so thank you for continuing to push me in ways I didn’t realize I needed to be pushed. Much love
This is beautifully written!!
Please share more these kind of videos about your favorite books .
You are doing your best💙
Wow, I needed to hear this message today. Thank you N.D. Time to live to the point of tears.
I really love your authenticity :) and there's something magical abt your storytelling that makes me watch your videos till the end ❤
Nathaniel, sometimes your best videos are the simplest ones that you suddenly decide to record. I really needed to hear this! Thank you!
You are an amazing human being.... Never stop being you. Hugs from Brazil
Pal, thank you? I find that you're so brave, or courageous rather, most of the time I see you on my screen and especially in videos like this where there's so much vulnerability. I get chills whenever I "see" someone and at the end there it was all so pleasantly uncomfortable that I'll need to go on a short walk.
Love your videos. Was wondering why you have two channels?
Thank you for this video Nathaniel, found it really relatable! 👍🏽💯
Just ordered the book! 👍🏽

Don't let other people define *who you are.* 🖤🙏
Love begets courage, for courage without love is brutish. Thank you for sharing.
This feels so genuine... love your authenticity!! :) and thak you for the book rec!
You are the definition of a modern expatriot. Hemmingway of the digital realm of creation.
Amazing angle.
But also look into Allan watts talking about worrying about worrying. It helped me!
Just sharing :)
I feel like I only truly belong in my personal space, my room, because anywhere I go I feel like an unwanted guest, even where people are welcome, gatherings, even work spaces, I'm terrified of it. I guess it's my trauma because I can't change my attitude, I have to pretend that I'm comfortable, it's weird to me, that's why I prefer to remain where I feel safe from this rush of thoughts.
Hi girl! I used to feel the same way a few years ago and everything went better when I started getting professional help, you deserve to be Happy !
@@AnaMaria-ol7gl I don't need pro help, I read about psychology all the time.
David Whyte reads his poems and speaks on the topics in a Waking Up app. It's always pleasure to listen to him and Sam Harris speaking on various topics. About life, ethics, philosophy, meditation. It's a meditation app, by the way. And I'm convinced it's the best ever existed! Sam Harris, a philosopher is a great guy! Very smart and caring for the world. So it's meditation and learning about life together. Can't recommend enough!
To anybody interested in the amazing wisdom of David Whyte there are some amazing interviews with him by Sam Harris on the Waking Up App. Highly recommended!
Dear Nathaniel. I am astounded by your ability to provide such warmth, comfort and intimacy to your audience through your videos. Every word that comes out of your mouth is so well spoken and never have I felt more inspired to live my life to the fullest than I am right now. I get this bubbly feeling in my chest when I think about what the future might hold for me which I have never felt before. Your voice, quotes, stories and anecdotes have shown me my life in a whole other perspective in which I have never looked at it before. I hope I will be able to replace all the ‘never’s’ with a bunch of ‘always’ some day. Thank you. You are truly a gift to my world.
This video is soo beautiful, helpful and captivating !! Thank you for this Lovelyy reminder !! I LOVE YOUR CONTENT SOO MUCH, MY BEAUTIFULSOUL !! SENDING YOU LOADS OF LOVE, BLESSINGS, POSITIVE ENERGY AND HUGSS !! ❤️❤️❤️🥺
Literally found myself saying "mmmm" at those words. Such a yummy excerpt!
Thank you for sharing this book. I’d never heard of it before and I will look for a copy of it to read. ❤
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
Frank Herbert
Listening to this alone healed my heart chakra haha! so beautiful nathaniel
dude, i like your background music, is there any chance that i can use it for my video?
I didn't know that I need to watch it. Tks, Nathaniel, for this video 🙏
Heartfelt community were the words that stood out to me
No, it didn't need to end. I love the rambling. :)
live to the point of tears
So incredibly validating, ty
Thank you for sharing. Just what i needed to hear at this moment…
Can I just say, that when you talk to your channel audience it truly feels like I’m sitting across the table from you. Your way of speaking is incredible ✨
Beautiful talk!
My therapist once said to me "Courage is to act with your heart." Then I realized how courageous I am.
Embrace these changes and follow your heart. I'm sure you're going to find something beautiful in the end of this journey.
not only was i moved by the words, but also the beautiful filmmaking.
Every word hits different to everyone in all kinds of situations.. and you fell deeply in love with that extract because the timing was perfect. I hope everyone has perfect timings for everything!
Thanks for sharing this, Nathan. I feel this is one that I'll be coming back to in trying times.
Incidentally, a lot of your b-roll these days seems to be from your Portugal trip - would it be fair to say that the country has captured your heart?
"Le cœur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point"
Make a book recommendations video!!
I really really enjoyed this, thank you
In the vast sea of content that TH-cam is, Nathaniels' channel is always a warm, safe place to come back to. Thank you, Nate!
You are a gift to this world. Thank you.
You are just so real.thank you.just thank you
great and moving piece of video.
For some reason I prefer "no backup plan" for these simpler videos.
they seem more "natural" somehow. less ambitious. I prefer the format.
you are my favorite person on the internet

Amazing video! 😁😁
So comforting to be read to
I took my little notebook that I haven't written in in more than 1 year, and wrote the entire chapter as you read it.. Thank you for this touching moment of Consolations.
Is Nathaniel in love?
Thank u for sharing ! 😊
Thank you!🙏🏻🙏🙏🏾
You r a true mentor nath ❤️
Thank you so much.
Great book. I own both the hard copy and the audio book and recommend book. David Whyte's narration on the audiobook is incredibly calming.
Interesting. Courageous literally means following your heart, and standing up to the consequences of that vulnerability.
Well said. Great visuals. Thank you for the book recommendation.
I don't know if it is intensional or not, but I would like to know why you always leave all the doors open.... I notice it all the time...... Whenever you are indoor.. you often leave all the doors open.....
And... one more thing... I really appreciate your efforts to make such an amazing content that inspires people.... Thank you...
I don't know if you'll see this, but I resonate deeply with this video. It's a push I need right now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Best of luck! (P.S: I'll start my new journey in Paris this September and I hope to bump into you)
Love your work 🥺💯
You can get more of David whyte on waking up app by sam harris. Hit like if any of you using this application.
You are truly an inspiring person. Thank you for what you do. I really needed to hear that as a person constantly worried about things that I can't control and going through some new stages of my life which help me evolve. A lot of fear of the unknown. Thank you. Really:)
Have you read any Camus? I recommend The Myth of Sisyphus
“You never know what you can do until you try.” Do you agree
I appreciate your videos so much. Your worries may be major or minor, but never silly - that's a negative value judgment, and I am sure they don't feel that way at 3:30 am. As a fellow worrier, I can really appreciate your openness and willingness to talk about what keeps you up at night; I cannot that.
Beautifuly written. Thanks for sharing 🙌
you and I are always thinking about the same things at the same time! hahaha =) It's crazy. Great vid! thanks for sharing
Loved the video, great editing with the photos/videos accompanied by the reading. Already ordered the book and saved the video so I can easily watch it again. True inspiration
These kinds of videos make me feel very good and connected to you as I think deeply about feelings, thoughts, patterns and life as well, but also very sad as there are not many people who are so contemplative about their lives. I wish, I had even one person like that in my life :(
Thank you for sharing this book with us. I had the same issue, I couldn't fall asleep and my thoughts were spinning. So you reading to us was exactly what I needed to calm down a little. I also like the idea of living, experiencing and acting from the heart. It's something I want to explore more myself.
Thank you. 💞
Its amazing how captivating a video can be with some good music and an interesting but simple story.
One day I would love to have lunch with you and pick your brain! Big ups to you man!
Damn it, Nathaniel. My reading list is already long enough.
Wow, more like this please. This video seems to show your real personality, like if we are your friends
love the concept. might use this video for a heart centered yoga class
Enjoyed this quite a lot! also brought me some more clarity on things I struggle with now and then lately. thank you nathaniel! will certainly check out the book :)
when I need a food for thoughts I go straight to your channel
thank you Nathaniel
life changing words, thoughts, thank you for sharing this Nathaniel
