*How to have a North Star*:
- ask “where do I want to be 10 years from now?” in both personal and work dimensions
- have an important support system
- get to know yourself more:
* inputs: listen, read, talk, experiment
* reflection: turn stimulus down and look inwards. Meditation, journaling, time alone. Take time to piece things together. “What did you do as a little kid before you applied pressure/expectations” “what can I NOT live without?”
- honour the KID IN YOU
Hope this helps anyone :)
thank you for this actually writing this in my notes.
"Where do I want to be 10 years from now?" - uh in the here and now!? :P for the rest yes.. i listen, read, talk and honor the kid in me :) thank you
This should be taken as screen shot ..thanks💕
Thank you🙏
Thank you, I took a screenshot of this 💖

I have so many quotes from Nathaniel in my journal you have no idea xD
=) moving line
👏👏👏👌
Slow travel is underrated. It 's so much more enriching and fulfilling!
That's true. But I don't think it's possible if you have a job
Totally
@@fernandososa6507 I guess you need to change/upgrade your job
@@-9_9.-6_6. I mean not everyone hates their job. I would love to slow travel myself, I just don't see it possible when I have a stable job. Changing jobs every, let's say 6 months, ain't a good idea, since no one would hire a person that can't stay for a long time
@@fernandososa6507 There's people that works for a year or two (or more) saving money, and go to a sabbatical year (travelling to know new places, people, study, voluntaring or temporary job)
If only I was as self aware as you when I was 22! Your maturity is beautiful!
I was thinking the same! At 22 I was deep thinking g but way too insecure to put it all into such articulate words like he does.
Agreed. This guy is wise beyond his years
It's never too late for anything.. Today matters..

Have you met his Mother? Their relationship was key, as most parent, child relationships are.
I would love a video on how to find “the right people”, I love this online community and would love to meet people irl who share this passion of personal growth. I just have no idea where to start 😅
Same for me. So sick of not being on the same page as the people around me.
You and me both
Christina Bellerose and me
PsYcHoTiCcReAtIoNs yes yes yes! I need to surround myself with people who motivate me
Same
I found myself crying while watching this. But it wasn't sadness, I just felt my soul leaping, screaming YES! YES! YES! I'm 45 years old still finding my north star. After surviving cancer I have dived into figuring this out and the number one thing for me is to be myself. Accept myself and unapologetically be myself just as I am. Your videos are stunning, deep, eye opening and inspirational. I would love to hang out with you, I wish I had friends like you. Thank you.
more power to you!
I would like to be friends w you
Designing our lives doesn't cross our minds until we realize we are not happy in the present moment.
Its not necessary that things will work out the way it is supposed to
This is very much true.
Yes, but the opposite is also true. if we're happy, let's stop designing our lives
Completely disagree, based on my own experience that is.
I also disagree. I am very happy now but I went to dark times before, so I want to learn a way to cross my own patch so I never loose myself again.
I'm attracted to your soul. I often feel alienated and even insane when I can't articulate something clearly as if it doesn't exist. Your conviction and vulnerability speak directly to my soul. Your videos are inspiring.
When you feel contentment with a rut, you start to stagnate. Being a forever student is really the way towards fulfilment.
*To live is to wonder and grow*
@Kristof Alexy Amen brother. Just don't forget to enjoy the current life as much as you can. Enjoying the small things fills up the gas tank to keep pushing.
Perfect explanation!
.
I kinda feel this way, I'm stuck and I have no idea how to get out and idk it's so frustrating cuz seriously it just gets worse and worse idk what to do
TL DR SUMMARY
-"Design : do or plan something with a specific purpose or action in mind."
We should design our own lifestyle, focusing on what matters to us.
-Lifestyle design is a messy process, our priorities and dreams change constantly. We're learning as we go.
-Ask "where do I want to be in 10 years, personally and professionally?"
Tools to know yourself better :
-Input : learning, opening new doors, experimenting.
-Reflection : Meditation, journalling, connect dots together.
-Ask :"What can I not live without?" (Expressing myself? Traveling?)
-It's not an easy process, so treating things like experiments or games help to reduce the pressure of it.
This is so deep. I lost myself in middle school trying to fit in with others around me. Now at 23 I'm still trying to find that creative girl that I once used to be. You can become discouraged when all you have around you are lost and low self-esteem people. You have to have strength to push pass the limit others put on you. It's saddening, but it took me watching this video to realize to what extent I've lost myself and why I want to find it again. 😢
I feel you, (I'm 23 too) I've been feeling so lost, and it seems that the further I go the more I loose myself, like if I was underwater trying to go to the surface but I keep drowning, it's even harder when you don't have any hope on you, you just feel numb; the only thing that I've learned it's to be kind to myself and stop thinking in who I used to be, because that hurts me more than anything, remembering the things that I used to do, to think and feel, I stopped trying to find that past self that I lost a time ago, because I'm not her anymore and instead I'm trying to understand the direction that I'm taking, I'm trying to be.
blumen well said... Better to be alone than to be in bad company is something I strive to live by. The moment I notice someone is a bit too toxic for me to handle, I cut them out. It’s so important to get good at this while we’re young because old habits die hard.
The good news is...23 is young. This is exactly what this part of your life is for. The mistake I made at your age (I’m 33) is that I had no intention or direction at that age. I’m getting a late start, but I AM starting. Keep attacking your journey with intention. Be mindful. Be present. You’ve got this.
I am almost in that age. I am 22 y.o now and feeling so lost. Every single thing scares me and I somehow tired of surrounded by people. While it is true that 22 or 23 is young, some societies already see it as a failure because you lost and your peers mostly not lost in that age so, it is very depresing. This guy gives an insight toward what should I do though so, thanks for sharing.
I RD think about which belief serves you in your current culture and go with that one... if you believe that a 22 year old with a child’s mentality is a failure, you’re only hurting yourself. Insult to injury so to speak.
I'm 42 and I still don't know what I want to do with my life. Just know its something creative and that helps people.
I can relate! I started teaching high school right before I turned 44, and it wasn't until then that I found my passion and my career. Until then, I was pretty clueless and wondering what I should do in life. At least you know the direction you want to go in. Hang in there and best wishes to you!
I was so surprised to realize you’re 22. So much wisdom beyond your years, my friend. I feel like we’d be great friends if we ever met :)
Sarah McDowell he looks like a 26 year-old boy..
damn, he has so much wisdom for a 22-year old!! while I'm 22 and is as lost as ever ;;
@@Seolhwaneul yah, I can relate 😅😁
wow, crazy!
He said he skipped college, so that's probably one reason. To me it means he has had time to reflect and figure out what he wanted out of life. Time spent alone enables people to grow. I have seen this in myself. Whenever I spend time reflecting and reducing input, I become more mature.
“If it isn’t enjoyable, …you’re playing the long game. This is your LIFE!”
I love it! Keep speaking the truth Nathaniel! Thank you for sharing your gift of intuitiveness.🙏🏽💕
AHH you’re shining
everything is so crisp, beautiful, cute, other adjectives, etc.
I realised what perfection was when I found Nathaniel. 👌

What a beautiful comment ❤️
"This is your life".
That statement reached my core.
Good gawd. It's obvious. It's a cliche. It's nothing new. You must live under a rock.
Man, I am truly, deeply exhausted of living a life I do not want to live.
Same..
same
I feel you...
Maybe you should ask yourself: "Why do I do it? Can I live the life I want and still have the benefits of this otherwise exhausting life I'm leading right now?"
@@rbkbala30 thanks for this comment 🙏🏻
You made me tear up. I am going to through an existential crisis right now as I try to finish my senior year of college. This came in at the right time.
The childhood reflection thing is really important.
That must be really shit. Cant Imagine what that does to a person. I don't have a solution exactly, but try to look back into more recent memory and see what you were drawn to. Write them down on a list and see what they have in common. Then you can find a pattern that might help you make your north star.
@@soupey same same
I think your life is exquisite, it looks like you are in an sacred journey to solve the puzzle of your life , that’s actually amazing.
that dark room example is literally the best way to express life

"I may not know what to do but I know which direction to be facing" wow! the clarity of these words, so simple yet profound, thank you Nathaniel
A question comes to mind, this guy has the answer, thank god he shares it
This video. This video... I swear, almost brought me to tears. Thank you for this, Nathaniel. Just amazing.
It did bring me to tears. It's incredible.
*If you aren’t grateful for what you already have, what makes you think you would be happy with more?*
Read again 🔁
I agree with this sentiment, but I also think it's easy to see this as a reason to not strive for more. Maybe not in terms of material things, but just to improve oneself.
I felt that.
@@thecozykinoshowWhy not do both? 😊
I'd certainly be happier with less. Less stress and problems in life 🤔
@@thecozykinoshow If you aren't happy with yourself now, what makes you think you will be happy when you have improved?
I'm coming back to this video after two years. Two years ago I made notes and since then my goals have changed but I also managed to achieve the main goal I had at that time - to start online work and become a digital nomad. I moved to another country and I travelled a lot which I also wanted to do! I think it's a great success especially when you count pandemic in between.
I really recommend all of you to take notes and come back to them after some time. It really shows you how far you've come.

Thank you! Have a good time in Italy ❤
To those who are thinking that he's had made all this progress becouse he is wise, blessed or his life has been easier and just that, it may be true or not, or whatever. But the main thing is, I can secure, he's spent a lot time, nights, days, months or years to figure out and reach all he has.
DONT COMPARE WITH OTHERS, it could be too dangerous, you could get depressed o discouraged. And it's really bad. You are amazing and wonderful. In the first moment you realize you dont want this kind of life and want to change. You has begun with the right step. Search that motivation and you will succeed.
Even I'm trying to find my sense and become to a better human.
Everything sucks, you are smart person who can change it. Enjoy the process.
This man knows how to set standards. Keep up the good work men.. Im rooting for you.
Recently, I've gravitated toward the belief that our lifes are always changing and gripping dreams too tightly can actually harm us. Sometimes letting go and becoming present in the moment, not only accepting it but also finding happiness😏 will make the greatest difference. Dream are just that...dreams.😊
I love how you're editing skill is getting better and better, it was almost like a short documentary made by a huge production team!
keep up the great work and thank you for making me try to be a better version of myself.
I know right
Since im just 17 living with my familiy in the Philippines currently grade 12 students. The only thing that I can help you is to watch your videos every time you upload. I love your videos. Its really clear and not complicated, very calming.
Love and support from Philippine.
I really like how thoughtful and introspective your videos are.
" you cannot learn everything from others. Sometimes that just means experimenting." I can't get over this sentence. Well said !!.
The advert before this was someone trying to sell me "having it all" by setting up a facebook ad marketing company..
@@newearthwavegodlove I dont knock him too he has every right to run them, just sucks TH-cam is putting that content on his videos
@@newearthwavegodlove Energy exchange. He puts out quality contents on TH-cam and in exchange, he needs the money to fund his future projects and provide for his daily needs.
I could care less about these adverts but I'm glad he's making money and I watch through them just so he can get paid because he def deserves every penny
The unsexy side that never goes out in social media: it really doesn't matter, 4 real, I had that (to an extent) and I have repeatedly left it behind, both voluntarily and involuntarily, I whole heartly agreed with Drew on this one, whatever matters in this world is God, your family, your real friends, your purpose/work, everything else is icing on the cake.
Thank you for this. As a guy who's in his mid 20s, I'm now just beginning to piece my life together and I've always felt so behind. Your videos help me remember what it actually takes to succeed and that no one has it together. You are wise beyond your years, and your videos are so helpful.
James iirc he’s 21?
I love how you are not "shouting" at me in this video. So many TH-camrs have this supposedly cool "aggressive" style of storytelling and filming that is just off-putting for me. You present deep ideas with a very calming, almost soothing narration
I woke up this morning and i had no plans today, i was a bit worried that i would end up doing nothing. But Thank God for you Nathaniel, this really lifted my brain up & helped my morning Incredibly!
Thank you guy!! I really agree that nobody has it all Figured out.☆ thanks for sharing these videos with us!!^^
But it's evening now, tell me what you did, (It's evening in India, 7.18 pm what time it is there )
@@theawantikamishra oh hi, it is 6:50 am for me! I got up and went for a jog, which usually i don't do. But it really amazed me and kind of opened my eyes to how much i have to be grateful for. And it makes me realize that i have so much, to be able to walk out and hear birds and watch a sunrise is such a great gift to me, and it makes me incredibly happy!!
The past is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a Gift. And that's why it's called the present~ :)
@@plantkid I have been planning for a week to go for walk in morning, may be I will do tomorrow, good day to you :-)
@@theawantikamishra aah right on!! Good for you!! :) good day to you as well!☆
Hi, i saw your comment and i can feel the happiness and that sensation of satisfaction after achieving something, thru your post 😄👍🏾. And yes, we should enjoy and be grateful for what we have and profit as if it was our last moment on this earth.
I don't know if what i wrote makes any sense, but i wanted to share this. Have a wonderful day.
You are so lucky to have found this path, and Yuval Harari at such a young age. I've known since I was 5 years old that humanity was here to learn and move onto a higher god-like existence. I just didn't want to admit it. I told no one. I was that strange child that no one knew what to do with. I didn't have the benefit of people like Harari, nor the almost 41% of the world that is having this shared experience today. But I understood we are more than our physical manifestation on this planet. It gives me great hope for the future in this tumultuous time. There are others like me, who literally feel the hurt and pain from people, planet, animals, insects, plants and rocks. Know that nothing is lost. We were all together once and we will be again. I don't know how I know that. I just do. I've seen it.
this is the most attracted to someone online i've ever been
Lol I feel your pain

PLEASE make a video on how to find the right people!!! I’ve been going through a bit of depression lately bcuz I have no friends bcuz finding people my age that I can relate to and connect with is extremely hard
Use the social
I feel you
0:17 - you absolutely nailed it when you said - "I highly suspect that it will forever be the case" ! I have been feeling that even since I graduated from college . I feel like that was the last time I kinda had a sense of what I wanted.
Real content real words no just giving things for free for TH-cam rankings
Life is an experiment. I almost forgot how I loved exploring and creating as a child. That's where my passions and love lay.
I don't know why your videos showed up on my feed, but your videos make me so much more... Satisfied? Content? It's just awesome. I'm a fourteen year old home schooled christian so I stand out from the crowd and it's hard to make friends and your videos help SO MUCH! Thank you.
I'm someone that is addicted to beating myself down, I get to points where I'm happy and feel as if I have everything figured out, thoughts are clear, confident, life feels easier then bam one day everything goes down and then the obsession of beating myself down comes back and it's as if I forgot every tool, like someone training for a fight for months then during the fight completely forget how to defend. Also I'm a really good cheerleader, my priority is all messed up, it's as if I care for others more than myself its affected my negatively.
I paused the video bc I had to read your comment again, bc this is exactly how I feel. I’ll be good for a couple weeks even months sometimes and than one day I’m not.. & it leads me down a dark road bc I feel like the progress I made those weeks or months wasn’t enough bc I’m back to that place and it’s really hard to get out of it again..
I feel like the same way you are and I understand. For me , how I view it is that nothing in life stays in constant. Not even happiness or struggle. But we can atleast be consistent on what were working on.
crimsonv0s that is very true. It was nice talking to you/ Sending positive vibes. 💜
Although I didn’t go around the world, traveling by RV in the US for 2.5 years in a (as you call it) “slow travel” style was such an amazing experience to get to know a community and really made traveling amazing.
Cinematography in this video is top-notch! Love the content mate.
Finding the true North is a journey . You are making a difference to so many lives . Keep it flowing !
Playing the long isn’t easy during hard times. Honoring the child in me is my ultimate goal.
oh man, as a kid I also used to invent words. I would pretend to be a flight attendant and I would say words that didn’t exist at all pretending that I was speaking a different language. nowadays I can say languages are one of my passions.
I just wanted to say thanks. Thank you so much, i am also making ~20¢ a day in my youtube channel. I put so much effort and sometimes i feel like going nowhere but now after seeing your video it motivated me and also gained some mental clarity. Its a long road and it WILL pay offf. Thank you and great video :)
Your videos are THE BEST on TH-cam. The subject matter, writing, visuals and music/sound are unmatched. Thank you for your work and for being real. 💜
Thanks for sharing this advice Nathaniel. These are incredibly well made. All the best.
I am a victim of psychological abuse and didn't really have the opportunity to have my own life until my mid twenties. Even after that I felt so lost because my optimism, creativity and dreams were crushed at such a young age. In my early 30s I finally found parts of myself and although my past still haunts me, I know that i'm somehow going in the direction I want to be.
This has been on my mind lately and I agree with the point you made about it not being possible to learn everything from others. Experimenting is soo crucial and will get anyone far in their journey. When I’m in doubt with where I wanna go, that’s one thing I constantly remind myself of. To just keep experimenting and see what feels right, and I definitely have come a long way in terms of knowing what I want and where I want to be. Awesome video as always!
It is this kind of video where I see myself going backwards every 10 seconds to make sure the information totally infused in myself. Because what you're talking about is really profound and sharp. It really is a tremendous guide, especially in early twenties when this question of choosing a path is daily coming back. You're growing as a story teller, more than ever, and the words, the topics, the examples and the whole progression in your reasoning is getting to point of becoming a masterpiece. Hell yeah, we're all experiencing the same problematic, and gathering all these information in one video helps all of us in this quest of finding the right path in this world. Again, thanks man
I really feel like we're the same person in different bodies. Would love to meet people like you!
There are a lot of skilled filmmakers on TH-cam who try to showcase their skill, but when they try to add a verbal narrative they don't take advantage of the full potential that is there to have a really beautiful visual AND a meaningful audio accent. I click off so quickly when I realize I am accidentally watching just another general video with beautiful drone shots and reused clips but is discussing a broad topic in very simple and expected language, and doesn't add any new information or analyses for me to brew on. I feel like your viewers get to know who YOU are a little more in each video as you share personal and specific anecdotes and observations. I really enjoy your analyses and ideas, thank you for sharing so genuinely!
Yes! How to find the right people is key!
Do a video on that
I agree with Marcela, networking and finding the person who can fit is essential.
When we contemplative, meaning-seeking thinkers say things like “To deepen my experiences as a human being”, we get a little shy about it because a lot of the times, people don’t get it. I get you completely. And I think this video is beautiful
*3:44** has been my whole life lately!!! and as always, love this video!! I couldn't agree more! I also prefer short term goals too* :)
Do you see that number everywhere to lol
When I feel lost , I browse your content and watch something! I came back to this video for the third time and it instantly gives me positivity
I think when people ask how you do what you do they're asking about how much financial support you were or are given.
I just gotta say...I came back to this video today and I can`t put it into words, how inspired I feel rn. It reminded me of last year, and the first time that I watched it. I`ve been in kind of a rut lately, a major one actually. Not really taking care of myself and falling back w my work. But myyy god did this help
Are you in Milan? 😍
OMG IT'S MY CITY 🇮🇹❤️
I stumbled across your channel by accident today when I was looking up videos about learning a new language. I am hooked! I've watched a few of your videos and I love them all. They're so well made. Your videos are so deep and thought-provoking.
I've been really getting into photography and filmmaking lately, got a camera last February, am following a course now and i've found that not a day has passed where i've been bored with it. I always thought it was a bit of a futureless hobby but over time I found out nothing is worth your time if you're not enjoying the process, like you said. I'm still not sure how I wanna move my way around it, but I love "open" storytelling: making art of any form that gives a lot of space to the consumer to fill it in with their own meaning, however with some form of guidance. It also sounds very abstract, I know. But the only way to find out is by action, and it's very nice and somewhat comforting to see someone in a similar position in life. You've definitely given me inspiration to think about :)
This was released on my birthday, and I feel like it's a sign that I should start working towards my future to not let any more years go by without advancing and improving myself. Thank you!
Thank you for being honest and sharing your own journey, plz read "The Alchemist" that book carries something different. 💡🙏
the '' treating the things you do like little games'' advise is so good. I found myself putting unnesessary presure on thing just because in my head i was like "maybe this is my passion and i should be good at it" and now since i started having that playful mindset i tend to enjoy my hobbies a lot more. The truth is that our inner child is always influencing us in some way and i think by putting preasureon things makes that inner child quiet o repressed. Thank you nathaniel for being such a positive force.
Ahh I haven’t even watched yet but this looks like a great video! I feel like you always post exactly what I need to see haha
I agree with you Max, it's crazy how they can create a video we need
one of the most mindblowing things i ve experienced was when i realized that i have complete comprol upon my life, that i can literaly chose however I wanna be/whatever i wanna do, put that on a paper and just walk towards it
The one thing I don’t get from these type of videos is the fact that mediocrity is a ‘bad’ thing. We can’t all be extraordinary. Sometimes it’s okay to be mediocre at one thing and extraordinary at another. Viewing life as mediocre is different than having a mediocre job but still being happy
It takes very little effort to be mediocre, hence the point that somehow we can all improve ourselves and are destined for things we used to dream of if we make that choice. I think it’s something that all human beings should atleast try to do👍
I understand what you're saying, but being mediocre, by definition, is being so regular to the point where it's bad. There's nothing wrong with not being extraordinary, you're totally right. Maybe we should be replacing the word "mediocre" to something else? Maybe the word we're looking for is ordinary.
I think he meant what *you* would individually see as mediocre for your life, not a general statement for all people. For example, me working as an accountant would be a mediocre life compared to what I actually want however, for some people becoming an accountant would be their dream.
SO BASICALLY, make sure you are going after your actual dream rather than someone else's.
r10warrior exactly. I had a convo with someone a while ago and she said she is fine with being comfortable. Her version of that is working a job and not caring about being promoted, fine with not having many friends or going out more than once a month or two. She’s fine with being by herself not talking to anyone 80% of the time. I couldn’t believe anyone / she is ok with being alone and not experiencing anything.
Capitalism and productivity culture kinda make conformism and mediocrity worse than committing genocide
I just discovered this channel and have already binged a few videos and subscribed... I love how honest and interesting his content is! I just graduated from college, kinda wanna travel (but money, stability, and COVID), kinda wanna get a full-time job in a big city, mostly just don't know. I'm a storyteller too, about the same age, and I feel such a strong connection to him. Seems like a lot of others do too. He's definitely doing something right!
Almost the same headline like last video by Matt D'Avella, almost the same type of videos, almost the same kind of message and almost the same storytelling.
EDIT: And still valuable content which deserves to be support.
Man! You have my tought..
This life style TH-cam business is bullshit.
If these guys are so into filmmaking, why don't they create something actual, rather than these phony videos, which are watchable only because of the camera quality.
@lindy what do u mean? thats his path ,all i can assume from ur statement is finding path is should be different from others? if is that what ur rly thought,i think u are wrong.
@@chandraveersaran3752 I think I agree with you. I don't really want to believe that it is true but you are correct about watching for the video quality. I was watching lots of these types of videos but stopped as despite the great quality and editing I felt that they weren't really telling me anything. Since I've stopped watching them (this is the first for about a month) I am much more content with my life and I feel happier. The main reason why I stopped watching was when Matt D'avella admitted that he suffers from anxiety still. I think he did the right thing by admitting that but it sort of felt like he had let me down, if that makes sense?
Thank you for posting your comment. I was beginning to think it was only me that thought this 🙂
@@phill6983 And I was beginning to think I was the only one.
I think if one really wishes to learn something life changing go read books. There are tons of wonderful books out there. But, people won't do that because its tough. They want to fool themselves with these 10 minute videos where they don't have to actually do anything. And I empathize with them, as I did the same thing once.
The quicker you realize improving yourself is tough, the quicker you would start attempting it the right way.
I'm reading that book right now! I find that a lot of the things you enumerated are things that my friends already put in practice. I'm getting there myself and it really helps hearing the confirmation from someone who made their dreams happen
This guy seems so intelligent and genuinely like able. In fact I’d go as far as to say his words help accept myself more in some ways as I’m 29 and haven’t exactly given an easy ride. My love of Art and music has been something I’ve clung to tirelessly in all my experiences and I will never let
people pry it from my hands until I’m dead
How Do you read my Mind Every time.
Thanks Nath.
you are amazing for someone so young. so honest and authentic and so true. id didn't start making long term goals until i was 35. b/c i didn't want to be shut down by anything, but I ended up doing lots but not having much to show for it. amazing way to live the first 3rd of my life though. now I am realising the power of the long term goals.
I remember Speaking to You Nathaniel, I was stuck in a Starbucks in Nashville, watching your video on feeling left behind... We spoke on DM on instagram before you blew up! Its crazy, I was so inspired, and well.... just 3 months later Ive hit over 20,000 views, 100,000 minutes of watchtime and . over 1.3K subs! I hope to see you at the top sometime buddy, if just to say thanks :)
What an AMAZING young man you are!!!! I cant believe the development and talent you have at such a young age!! Thank you for this BEAUTIFUL video!!
I want to frame every sentence you say on my wall. Beautifully inspirational
"It's important to choose life by own, else life choosen by other leads to mediocrity"
*Mediocrity* - Mediocrity is not having less, it is playing with someone else rules.
I feel very resonate with your video and what you are saying. I studied also in Italy, and is a country that gives me so much joy and I feel so much connection with Italy, is always in my heart where ever I am.
Why is your logo an I've cream cone?

You look like Steve Jobs in the thumbnail.
Ikr, Thought I was going crazy but no lol dude legit looks like frkin Steve Jobs
Miguel Ángel wtf not at all ^^
It’s the pose 😌
Nathaniel, you're a very smart, sharp and intuitive young man. Your videos should be very valuable to many people young and older.
This hits 🏠I am definitely a slow traveler. I also was changed by Spain. Studied abroad there in 2010 during Spain's first-ever world cup. Time just slowed down in a way that felt like it was finally at the same pace as I was. Great video, as always!
I lived in Spain for a while (a total of about two years) and it changed my life and thinking
Your content is so thoughtful and relaxing, similar of the Matt D' avella; You should collab with him, that would be awesome. :)
I think that TH-cam allows so many people to just create something new, like you. Travel is something so good to the soul, in my opinion, and it is completely possible today to ''monetize'' the stuffs you like!
Hey Nathaniel, just wondering if you have had a spiritual awakening yet? Because I think it is important in discovering what your soul really wants to do in this life.
I was a hippie in the late 60s/early 70s. You remind me of our quest for what was real...only you are way more disciplined than what we were. I am inspired by your journey...and Italy is my favorite country in the world. Rock on.
Italiani facciamoci sentire!

The things that I want to accomplish today may not be possible, but if I plant the seeds today they might be possible tomorrow. (10:35)
Damn, that's a great way of looking at things. I've been living like this for a while now, and this wording expresses the essense in the most accurate way. The things you want to accomplish in life may look so distant now, almost impossible. But if you do something, even the smallest effort, on a daily basis, one day all those things will become possible.
Have you really moved here in Italy?!? omggg :O
Non ci voglio credere neanche io... troppo forte😍
Wow, this was just amazing. The audio engineering is out of this world.. It really captivated me and brought me deeper into the story. Very well done, thank you for adding more value into my life.
