I adore this. There was a time in my life when I was 22/23 that I truly felt on top of the world and able to conquer anything. Now, I’m 28 and so fueled by fear. This video put me back in touch with the part of myself that could conquer anything 🥹 it’s truly amazing and almost brought me to tears. Thank you for this
I just lost my “safe” job as a video editor at 25 and still living at home, I’m now in a transitional period where I have to decide ultimately what the next few months(and years) are gonna look like for me especially now that I’m getting older and family expects certain things. I thank God for stumbling across this video you really inspired me and it feels nice to know that there are other people my age group not really knowing what they’re doing either but “figuring it out later” love that mentality and it’s something I’m definitely about to take with me moving forward
I'm also 25 and I'm in a somewhat similar situation. This transitional phase has been talking a toll on me too - I have figured out what I want to do to make the shift to the next phase of my life but there are a looot of uncertainties and it is a very risky decision so I have been very afraid to take the leap. This video inspired me to take that mindset and trust myself, trust that I am going to figure it out.. Anyway, I hope everything works out for the both of us 🙏✨️
What a coincidence, I'm also 25 and an aspiring filmmaker stuck in a transitional phase. It's comforting to know that there are other people out there too going through the same thing and I'm sure we'll all make it out together.
Reading these comments really warms my heart. I'm 25 too, going on 26 in 4 days lol. I too am currently trying to navigate a transitional phase. I left a job to pursue my passion, but it's been a struggle to keep things afloat on the financial front as the upkeep takes a lot. And I do want to pursue my dream however, I know I'd have to get a stable side job to financially support myself. I'm grateful I recently got a nice opportunity to fulfill that, something that will also give me a bit of time to work on my own gig, so that's a relief. But ngl, I'm very scared to juggle these two responsibilities. I think I'm strong enough, but man I'm nervous. 😅 I feel, growing up, I put a lot of emphasis on having it "figured out" by a certain age, like, by 25. A job I liked, certain financial independence and well, idk, a life that makes me feel happy. And boy was I super wrong.😂 Life has a way of throwing many curveballs but over the course of the past few years, I've grown to embrace the changes, ride the wave, instead of fighting it. And It's honestly so freeing. I really hope we all never stop having this faith in ourselves, be it 25 or 85. So happy to have stumbled upon this video. Such a refreshing reminder. ❤
Same here! So many people seem to be in the same boat at 25. Definitely makes me feel less alone 🙈 I’m about to quit my ‘safe’ but stresssful job because it’s affecting my mental health and i want to do things in my own way rather than following a more traditional path. It is super super scary but long term I know it’s going to be the best for personal growth and happiness ❤
For the past 3 years I’ve been struggling with the feeling of stagnancy in my life, adapting myself to my routine and avoiding any little change that could possibly be risky. Living with the guilt of wasting my youth is really suffocating and I really hope I can draw inspiration from your mindset 💞
I can totally relate. How old are you Slay? Sometimes we focus so much on what we have missed that we forget how much more ahead we have. And the exponential growth thanks to the experience factor.
Literally just go outside, walk around, and talk to the strangers you meet. Anything. Hey did you happen to see the where the deodorant was? Oh my god I'm so glad I chose this line. How are you doing?
This is advice I needed. I’ve been in my bubble and I feel guilty about it and I grow more restless and frustrated the longer I stay where I am. I’ve been working a job I hate for the last four years and I just need to jump into something new. I need more courage to say yes to life
Don't stay in your bubble, but keep going outside. Engage in social activities, sports, entertainment, nature, even learning (eventually take your books and tablet and go out). Do things and meet people. Think pragmatically. In your search for a new job, consider what you like and are good at, but then set goals (even "small" ones like writing a resume) and put them into practice. Overthinking doesn't make things happen. It just makes you stay stuck in an imaginary world of unfulfilled possibilities. Fear is human, but things won't turn out as bad as you imagine and will make you grow anyway. Everything you DO opens up new doors. But doing nothing only keeps you inside, both physically and mentally. So, again, get out of your trap-den. Good things WILL happen. Good luck!
@@itsfelipesanches Glad it helps, Felipe. Out of experience: you mind will talk talk talk endlessly to "protect" itself and the status quo. Don't fall in the trap and keep living in reality, where things really happen and the growth is. And while at it, don't forget to also have fun! Best of luck
Life has been passing me by. I’m 28 turning 29 and I just feel empty and alone. I want to take risks but I’m scared. I hope i find the courage to chance
Ive been doing / engaging in this kind of mentality since I was in college so that’s more than 5 years now. It brought me the highest of highs as well as the lowest of lows (thus far) but I have zero regrets! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this video! I'm at a point in my life where I don't feel like I'm "participating in life" because I work from home and study my degree online, and my big weekly outing is going to the supermarket for groceries or getting a haircut haha, but the truth is that I've wanted to do something different for a couple of months now that makes me feel alive again. I've been wanting to do a Eurotrip for years and finally have the financial resources to do so, so your video gave me the courage to go on a trip for a couple of months and do something that really forces me to break out of my routine. May you continue to seek out and find adventures that make you feel good about yourself! Meanwhile, we'll be here waiting for the next video:)
"I think that there's a time to say no to some things but there's also a time where like you don't want it to hinder your growth and I feel that is a season that I am in"
as a fellow creative, the thing that I envy about your films is how well you can organize these personal reflections into words and stories. I feel like I truly tend to want to create in a similar way or maybe just from a similar place. Anyways, great job being able to express a thought. I'm only just now taking action and taking myself seriously as a creative so i have to say thank you for your inspiration.
the moment I saw on the paper the "say yes... figure it out later" the biggest smile came across my face. I've been doing this as I've reached my senior year of high school and am wanting to make the most of it. Part of it to make it to college and succeed, the other to have fun and take the opportunities of youth. Its amazing.
I stumbled upon your channel and wow am I glad I did. Your cinematic style for TH-cam vlogging is unique and beautiful. The first video of yours i watched, i thought you had hired an actor, but then i realized it was just you being you! I hope you keep that growth mindset and continue to hone your already impressive skills (and continue to make youtube videos for me to watch, of course 😂)
I thought I was the only one suffering in my comfort zone. I have always wanted to get out of it yet couldn't gather the courage that it takes to get out. The risk is the word that scared me the most and till date I find myself living in the bubble. I won't totally blame myself for this, I believe all of the habits are because of the environment and beliefs that I grew up with. But this video today has helped me, even for a tiny percent I got a new perspective. I'm happy that I found this video today when I needed something like this the most. It's all about taking the risk or regretting later.
I'm currently the saddest and unhappiest version of my life. I want to quit my traineeship and get a higher degree so I can go to university to learn the skills I really wanna learn. But I do not live at home and I have rent and food to pay. I'm scared to quit. But I know it would be worth it.
I think we all are brave, energetic, fearless and bold but in every one's life there comes a phase when we doubt ourself and filled us with different fears. In this weak times, we need ourself the most for ourself.
A beautiful movie. Thanks for making it. I've had a wild few years, and I've allowed fear and hesitation to take over. I needed to hear this today. 🙏❤️
This resonates so much with me, the past few years have been me relying on things to stay steady, stable, and routine. But then learning to just act first, think later just works out so well in so many situations, and in most worst cases just results in me learning how to make better decisions. Moving to a new city in a few weeks and just seeing what happens seems so exciting!
I agree. I think routine is so important that we set times for ourselves, but also that we nurture our spontaneous side. That we live carefree, for me I have a dedicated morning and night routine because then I can show up like I need to as my best self. Hope you’re doing well!❤
I love your bravery! I am leaving teaching to go figure it out. I have moments when I wonder what I’ve done by resigning, but then I realize that there are many more options that will help you succeed than there are reasons your decision could destroy you. Best wishes!
I love this! It's a mindset that I'm hoping to apply this year too - last year I spent too much time being afraid to take risks. Your storytelling and cinematography are so inspiring and I can't wait to see what you create in 2023.
I got offered a job position in the ICU of a hospital 2 years ago. I was going to say no, I never imagined working in that type of environment, it seemed very scary. But my mom was the one who told me to try it out and see what happens- the worst thing that'll happen is you just leave. So I took the jump and I'm beyond happy I said yes. It was definitely scary at first, but the amazing people I've met there have helped me along the way. Just say yes!
I'm glad that youtube algorithm suggested me one of your videos and i fell in love with it.I love your videos, editing skills and the content. Really my pleasure to know that somewhere in this big planet, a person like you exist. Stay happy and blessed. I'm looking forward to more quality videos as this one ❤❤
Riza I quit my job not long ago to go into my own venture and I just stumbled across your video. What you said really resonated with me and I really thank you for this beautiful video. It was exactly what I needed to hear today and it reminded me why I am doing what I’m doing. You’ve got yourself a lifelong supporter & subscriber! ❤
I'm literally marathoning your channel and I'm loving it. It has helped me to solve some things in my life and awakened a motivation that disappeared last year... THANK YOU!!
thank you for sharing this video. i recently lost hope in many things in my life after a few events with family members, heartbreak, moving to a new place, loss of life, health scares and COVID specifically transformed my reality. i know we've all had a difficult last few years but these ones felt extra tough. it felt like everything in my life was slowly being voided until i watched this video. it gives me hope in my own dreams and has also reignited the aspiration to continue learning more about myself every single day. i'm very excited for this new journey and again, i sincerely, greatly appreciate this video. wishing you all the best. ❤
wow I am currently in my 20s and also Its hard i don't know what do sometimes when it comes to making decisions but I know myself and knowing that taking risks and trusting the process is going to be a something that i need to try to tell myself and that quote that you mention is also good to remember because sometimes we just have to jump right in or just do it and see where life takes us despite the fear.
I just graduated high school and I'm going to be a film student. I'm a little bit scared to begin to live life and to be on my own and this video just helped me so much to see life from another perspective and to be more confident about myself, about my future and the control I have in my life. Also, your cinematography and video editing is top tier, I've seen like ten videos of yours and I'm just stunned and amazed of your work I hope you go far in life and enjoy that talent that you have.
You really have a beautiful way of storytelling. Your honesty is refreshing thank you! Mindfulness inspired me to create my own channel - to gently remind people to stay in the present. I started deeply looking into meditation as someone who struggles with a constantly wandering mind since early university days. Some days are easy but most days are incredibly hard to be present constantly, especially as a student. Meditation has genuinely helped me become a better person and more importantly actively try to be a mindful person. Days are not easy but its the littles steps consistently that count!
Thank you so much❤ This morning I cried and stressed out about my life. I tried to get out of my comfort zone and now I am scared. Thank you once again, it reminds me why I am here in this situation right now.
saw this amazing video by chance and glad i pressed on it. whatever it comes will come. what will be will be. just go ahead and embrace ourselves in the beauty of risks.
I cried a lot after watching ur video, it’s really hits my feelings, brings up nostalgia, show me that I’ve been through a lot in order to be who I’m , I will always take risks in order to seek my dreams and passions, thanks a lot, ur video inspires me up ❤️❤️
Love the saying "say Yes now, figure it out later." This is the mindset I and other Rockers I know use for shows we want to go to. We buy the tickets without even knowing how to go to the show or where we're gonna stay lol but that's what makes it so much fun. Cause we'll figure it out on the way
I'm going through this now - I feel confident in myself but stagnant in my life. I just quit my 9-5 today in my home city and am moving to the UK at 30. I'm not worried about how it will go, I'm just excited to put myself in the ebbs and flows of life again.
coming back to this months after I first watched it, This has changed how I see and do things so much. I've always wanted to solo travel, but never had the balls to do it but when I was on a 6 hour train ride back home with 2 of my friends last week, I booked a whole ass 1 month long trip to Japan. Alone. Full Solo. Those same friends called me an idiot, because I didn't get a refund option on those plane tickets, but without remembering the main quote from this video, I said "Do now, figure it out later". and now I got this video in my recommended again and goddamn am I excited! Thank you.
Girrrl I am so happy I stumbled across your channel just now, the energy, the storytelling, the cinematic quality ✨ I've been hesitating so much putting off making my own short films but I'm feeling so pumped up for the day after watching this, can't wait to see more, new sub 💞
Yes! I love this mindset and I really resonate with it :) I'd like to believe that when we're in a position to say 'hell yes' to certain things, it already means that we have the things we need to be able to successfully ~figure it out~. So here's to figuring it out together and taking the plunge this 2023!
I love your positivity and peace you brought in your video, hope you meet a great journey in the next, as well as with the people who are facing stress, and vagueness in life
Suddenly stumbled upon this video again and I totally forgot that I got the quote “say yes now, figure it out later” from here. It’s been written on a sticky note which I stuck on my mirror earlier this year and now we’re in december and things have changed so much for me this year. Some for the better some for the worse but also some of the best things came along this year. Things I’ve never expected I’d be able to do. But I said yes and figured it out. Normally I don’t have much with quotes nor do they stick but this one? Yes. This is it. I’ll be taking it with me into 2024. 2023 was the year of doing the groundwork. 2024 is the year of getting out there in the world and live. Thank you so much for making this video, it helped❤️✨
O my Goshhh... I have only watch two videos and I'm 1000% in love. You are really intelligent Riza as an aspiring film maker I'm in love. It would be really dope if I could meet you one day❤
Beautiful video - it's a good reminder to all of us, to break away from the norms we've all grown up with and to challenge ourselves to truly go out there and explore all that life has to offer us. Thanks for sharing Riza!
It's really interesting to see your ability to put into words what many experience. The biggest change for me, is not that there's no more risks, but that the risks/choices seem to mean more. Sometimes I've stumbled, but you at least always stumble in a direction. We figure out as we go. Superb video!
Aww, I wish I had seen this when I made a spur of the moment decision to get a ticket for an 88Rising Fest in Cali (I lived in Chicago) and it would've been my first solo trip.. but then I started overthinking and got scared and made up all the excuses to not go so.. I just wasted like $180 for no reason 😭
I've been dreaming of something that I want to become and it's been almost four years now I'm still just.... dreaming. It's suffocates me so much but there are doubts and fear and insecurity everything but positivity. I feel stuck in life. I feel like I'm just wasting my time as well as my youth. I hope this will help and I'll make any move and go for what I want now. And believe me procrastination sucks!!!!
Just pouring my heart out, I want to get out of my comfort home, town and live nomadic life or explore the different parts of country, but my parents health is not supporting at all, neither I can fix in a go, nor I can quit. Adulthood is pretty hard, either start earning from quite early age and make a lot of money so that money takes care of most of things, or be prepared, enjoy early maybe you're in college. Don't compromise on your and your family health, money and life experiences can be bought easily, but time and health.
hey, these type of videos make me realize, and ask myself, what actually is life?, am i living life to the fullest? ill sit down and answer those questions today, what do i want to do? what are my goals? what do i need to achieve my goals? what matters? im improving, im studying everyday, i did yoga yesterday and will today, im reading the newspaper many days, im journalling, im doing diamond art, im playing sports, so what if i enjoy couple hours or do some mistakes? you got this.
I rarely comment on youtube. But, I feel like I should on your videos. Thank you for being such a positive, wonderful and inspirational person. You're a wonderful storyteller, and I am glad I came across your video. Have a good day.
First time here, and I know there must be a reason for that. With that, I thank you so much for the fact that I have another quotes to live by, "Say yes now. Figure it out later." Much love to you ❤
i just had a mental breakdown at work because i felt overwhelmed by all the responsibilities i have and still pursue my dreams and have a life but youtube recommended me this video and now i feel kinda better, thank you so much for this, it helped lots💕
Very interesting to see different people in there 20's here. I just turned 20, and my life ahead seems so daunting. Yet because I don't "know my potential" yet I feel full of energy and ready to succeed. But sometimes I slow down and see life in a sort of wholistic way. your videos has helped me with that as of late.
The Universe is constantly unfolding, so really, nobody has it fully figured out, because nobody really knows what is going to happen in future, once we accept that and let go, you find true freedom, it's liberating to let go control, and go with the flow, and that in itself is as close to figuring it out we will ever get, and that's beautiful.
I'm 18 years old, got no friends and have been doing online school for 3 years, this is my final year of high-school which will be ending in less then a month, I will try to take what you've said here and apply it to my own life, idk why but sometimes I have trouble understanding points to big philosophical video like this but I do know some points such as to go with the flow and say yes to things, of course say no in certain situations but for ones such as meeting new people or going out with friends, to go with the Flow and have faith in yourself. Ive also learned that if I dont learn these things I may miss out on many crucial moments in my life and live a forgetful life, which is one I do not want to live, I hope I've understood your video and regardless thank you got making this video for other people.
same here I been stuck doing online school for 3 years now and I'm 21, I'm taking the risk of going to college in person next month so we'll see what happens!
Trying to learn this YT thing, I pressed "K" every time I noticed a cut. I counted 123. I tried to also see if I could categorize each one as Closup, Medium, or Wide. I could not even keep up with camera movement and changes in camera angles. It's amazing to study what goes by so smoothly and seamlessly if I just sit back and watch. You demonstrate the truism that really good editing is not even noticeable. It's a pleasure.
Your videos are so refreshing, inspiring, I'm currently changing my mindset and your approach is pretty similar so I'm happy other people can learn that from you. Keep going, you're amazing !!
the part at 4:46 reminds me of this shot in working girl where the main character was looking at the city from the ferry and it was when her life had also changed. Thank you for this beautiful video, it takes away some of the fear I have to say yes to things
I couldn't finish this video. I don't want to. I don't want to finish this content and skip to another video. I just want to remain with the feelings you have reminded me. I wish I could be consistent as you were. I've started a new life but sometimes I don't feel strong to keep on.
Totally agree, Riza! I wouldn‘t be where I am if this had not clicked with me 10 years ago. I‘m the cautious type who became an adventurer! Looking forward to your next video!
I genuinely loved this video! I even wrote it down in my notebook.. "say yes now, figure it out later" It's just like how life goes; We don't really know why we're here and for what purpose.. but I'm sure a version of you in the future knows!! and they're gonna be glad that you kept going, enjoyed your moments and made those decisions.. so keep going, let go and move with the flow🌟 at the end I'm really excited for the future, I really am. December 31 11:11 (a lil note to the future me and anyone reading this)
I adore this. There was a time in my life when I was 22/23 that I truly felt on top of the world and able to conquer anything. Now, I’m 28 and so fueled by fear. This video put me back in touch with the part of myself that could conquer anything 🥹 it’s truly amazing and almost brought me to tears. Thank you for this
Lol same. I'm also 28 and it's insane how much I've turned into a fear-ridden anxious wreck since I was 21 :S
❤
Same here... 28, is excited but also a little bit of mix feelings
Same here 😕 27
You guys are really young still, just go out and do things you want to get done. Don't worry about failure.
"say yes now, figure it out later" damn I'm gonna put that quote on my wall
same :)
this is my exact thought too after watching this
I just lost my “safe” job as a video editor at 25 and still living at home, I’m now in a transitional period where I have to decide ultimately what the next few months(and years) are gonna look like for me especially now that I’m getting older and family expects certain things. I thank God for stumbling across this video you really inspired me and it feels nice to know that there are other people my age group not really knowing what they’re doing either but “figuring it out later” love that mentality and it’s something I’m definitely about to take with me moving forward

Anyway, I hope everything works out for the both of us 🙏✨️
What a coincidence, I'm also 25 and an aspiring filmmaker stuck in a transitional phase. It's comforting to know that there are other people out there too going through the same thing and I'm sure we'll all make it out together.
Hope you figure it out in your own pace and style. That's what Ig I'm trying to do too.

Hey stop focusing on age and start working on your goals. Journaling and meditation will also help u with emptiness.
Glad to be a part of the Karizaverse 🤩
@ColtKirwan is that you min 2:46? wow
I love you both so much 😭🤧💗✨
Ive been doing / engaging in this kind of mentality since I was in college so that’s more than 5 years now. It brought me the highest of highs as well as the lowest of lows (thus far) but I have zero regrets! ❤
This is the way of life. There are always highs and lows

so glad to hear that Fernando!! :)
loved this comment!!
Haha man, same situation here ✌️ have you made the trip yet and how have things changed?

I can’t believe I just found your channel yesterday. The cinematography and storytelling is unbelievable. Amazing stuff! ❤
Unbelievably good storytelling. Beautiful message. Thanks for making this!
I'm currently the saddest and unhappiest version of my life. I want to quit my traineeship and get a higher degree so I can go to university to learn the skills I really wanna learn. But I do not live at home and I have rent and food to pay. I'm scared to quit. But I know it would be worth it.
I hope things worked out for you. I'm kinda in the same spot and am ready to take that leap of faith.
I think we all are brave, energetic, fearless and bold but in every one's life there comes a phase when we doubt ourself and filled us with different fears. In this weak times, we need ourself the most for ourself.
A beautiful movie. Thanks for making it. I've had a wild few years, and I've allowed fear and hesitation to take over. I needed to hear this today. 🙏❤️
something about the shots and music and her calming voice just hit home
This resonates so much with me, the past few years have been me relying on things to stay steady, stable, and routine. But then learning to just act first, think later just works out so well in so many situations, and in most worst cases just results in me learning how to make better decisions. Moving to a new city in a few weeks and just seeing what happens seems so exciting!
I agree. I think routine is so important that we set times for ourselves, but also that we nurture our spontaneous side. That we live carefree, for me I have a dedicated morning and night routine because then I can show up like I need to as my best self. Hope you’re doing well!❤
I can't like/love this enough ❤
I love your bravery! I am leaving teaching to go figure it out. I have moments when I wonder what I’ve done by resigning, but then I realize that there are many more options that will help you succeed than there are reasons your decision could destroy you.
Best wishes!
crazy that I see your video now. As I can relate to your words so much and I couldn't a year ago. 🤲
I love this! It's a mindset that I'm hoping to apply this year too - last year I spent too much time being afraid to take risks. Your storytelling and cinematography are so inspiring and I can't wait to see what you create in 2023.
Thank you! You got this 🫶🏼
so? may we have an update ? :)
It's so good to know you're not alone in this
I got offered a job position in the ICU of a hospital 2 years ago. I was going to say no, I never imagined working in that type of environment, it seemed very scary. But my mom was the one who told me to try it out and see what happens- the worst thing that'll happen is you just leave. So I took the jump and I'm beyond happy I said yes. It was definitely scary at first, but the amazing people I've met there have helped me along the way. Just say yes!
I'm glad that youtube algorithm suggested me one of your videos and i fell in love with it.I love your videos, editing skills and the content. Really my pleasure to know that somewhere in this big planet, a person like you exist. Stay happy and blessed. I'm looking forward to more quality videos as this one ❤❤
Riza I quit my job not long ago to go into my own venture and I just stumbled across your video. What you said really resonated with me and I really thank you for this beautiful video. It was exactly what I needed to hear today and it reminded me why I am doing what I’m doing. You’ve got yourself a lifelong supporter & subscriber! ❤
This is definitly one of my favorite TH-cam channels. Thanks Riza
Yes life happens very very fast be persistent bout your dreams😊.
I'm literally marathoning your channel and I'm loving it. It has helped me to solve some things in my life and awakened a motivation that disappeared last year... THANK YOU!!
thank you for sharing this video. i recently lost hope in many things in my life after a few events with family members, heartbreak, moving to a new place, loss of life, health scares and COVID specifically transformed my reality. i know we've all had a difficult last few years but these ones felt extra tough. it felt like everything in my life was slowly being voided until i watched this video. it gives me hope in my own dreams and has also reignited the aspiration to continue learning more about myself every single day. i'm very excited for this new journey and again, i sincerely, greatly appreciate this video.
wishing you all the best. ❤
wow I am currently in my 20s and also Its hard i don't know what do sometimes when it comes to making decisions but I know myself and knowing that taking risks and trusting the process is going to be a something that i need to try to tell myself and that quote that you mention is also good to remember because sometimes we just have to jump right in or just do it and see where life takes us despite the fear.
I just graduated high school and I'm going to be a film student. I'm a little bit scared to begin to live life and to be on my own and this video just helped me so much to see life from another perspective and to be more confident about myself, about my future and the control I have in my life. Also, your cinematography and video editing is top tier, I've seen like ten videos of yours and I'm just stunned and amazed of your work I hope you go far in life and enjoy that talent that you have.
I got sooo emotional while watching this video, as it made me feel free, to figure it out, take risks and I guess be happy !!
I love your delicacy, in this world of screaming people, you are a rare pearl!
You really have a beautiful way of storytelling.
Your honesty is refreshing thank you!
Mindfulness inspired me to create my own channel - to gently remind people to stay in the present.
I started deeply looking into meditation as someone who struggles with a constantly wandering mind since early university days. Some days are easy but most days are incredibly hard to be present constantly, especially as a student. Meditation has genuinely helped me become a better person and more importantly actively try to be a mindful person.
Days are not easy but its the littles steps consistently that count!
hey... i discovered u r channel today and i just love how short the video is but the content its self is so impoactful .. its daaam good.
Thank you so much❤ This morning I cried and stressed out about my life. I tried to get out of my comfort zone and now I am scared. Thank you once again, it reminds me why I am here in this situation right now.
it is a so lovely video. thanks for taking us during your ride riza
saw this amazing video by chance and glad i pressed on it. whatever it comes will come. what will be will be. just go ahead and embrace ourselves in the beauty of risks.
Your content is like a balm for the soul. Thank you for making this.
Love it! " Say yes now figure out later"
I cried a lot after watching ur video, it’s really hits my feelings, brings up nostalgia, show me that I’ve been through a lot in order to be who I’m , I will always take risks in order to seek my dreams and passions, thanks a lot, ur video inspires me up ❤️❤️
Love the saying "say Yes now, figure it out later." This is the mindset I and other Rockers I know use for shows we want to go to. We buy the tickets without even knowing how to go to the show or where we're gonna stay lol but that's what makes it so much fun. Cause we'll figure it out on the way
I'm going through this now - I feel confident in myself but stagnant in my life. I just quit my 9-5 today in my home city and am moving to the UK at 30. I'm not worried about how it will go, I'm just excited to put myself in the ebbs and flows of life again.
Absolutely beautiful video. The vibes, immaculate. The message, sensational.
Life of Riza sound like a map for rediscovering yourself.. Thank you for sharing and inspiring
coming back to this months after I first watched it,
This has changed how I see and do things so much. I've always wanted to solo travel, but never had the balls to do it
but when I was on a 6 hour train ride back home with 2 of my friends last week, I booked a whole ass 1 month long trip to Japan. Alone. Full Solo.
Those same friends called me an idiot, because I didn't get a refund option on those plane tickets, but without remembering the main quote from this video, I said "Do now, figure it out later".
and now I got this video in my recommended again and goddamn am I excited!
Thank you.
My first solo trip was to Japan for a month too! It was the best time and learning experience of my life. 🤍 I wish you a great trip!
@@LifeOfRiza thank you! I hope you the best of luck with your future trips aswell ❤️
Girrrl I am so happy I stumbled across your channel just now, the energy, the storytelling, the cinematic quality ✨ I've been hesitating so much putting off making my own short films but I'm feeling so pumped up for the day after watching this, can't wait to see more, new sub 💞
Yes! I love this mindset and I really resonate with it :) I'd like to believe that when we're in a position to say 'hell yes' to certain things, it already means that we have the things we need to be able to successfully ~figure it out~. So here's to figuring it out together and taking the plunge this 2023!
I love your positivity and peace you brought in your video, hope you meet a great journey in the next, as well as with the people who are facing stress, and vagueness in life
'micro chances', love that :) tiny infinities that exist all around us
keep it up, can't wait to see where you go next!
Say yes figure it out later. That is a brave risk. Big respect to you Riza!
Suddenly stumbled upon this video again and I totally forgot that I got the quote “say yes now, figure it out later” from here. It’s been written on a sticky note which I stuck on my mirror earlier this year and now we’re in december and things have changed so much for me this year. Some for the better some for the worse but also some of the best things came along this year. Things I’ve never expected I’d be able to do. But I said yes and figured it out. Normally I don’t have much with quotes nor do they stick but this one? Yes. This is it. I’ll be taking it with me into 2024. 2023 was the year of doing the groundwork. 2024 is the year of getting out there in the world and live. Thank you so much for making this video, it helped❤️✨
The back shot on the boat while wind playing with your hair is so beautiful
O my Goshhh...
I have only watch two videos and I'm 1000% in love. You are really intelligent Riza as an aspiring film maker I'm in love.
It would be really dope if I could meet you one day❤
I find your videos so warming and just like home
Take the leap and the net will appear ❤
Beautiful video - it's a good reminder to all of us, to break away from the norms we've all grown up with and to challenge ourselves to truly go out there and explore all that life has to offer us. Thanks for sharing Riza!
Love that transition with the vehicle at 0:10. That's awesome.
It's really interesting to see your ability to put into words what many experience. The biggest change for me, is not that there's no more risks, but that the risks/choices seem to mean more. Sometimes I've stumbled, but you at least always stumble in a direction. We figure out as we go. Superb video!
Last year I had a motto that I went by, Live your life. It has recently changed to, Live your best life.
Life is worth the adventures
You're wonderful girl! You're doing the wonderful things. You have highly energy. And You're so cute too, Keep doing the great work, Good luck! ❤❤
"Say yes now figure it out later" 🤍 so true love the video!
Aww, I wish I had seen this when I made a spur of the moment decision to get a ticket for an 88Rising Fest in Cali (I lived in Chicago) and it would've been my first solo trip.. but then I started overthinking and got scared and made up all the excuses to not go so.. I just wasted like $180 for no reason 😭
I've been dreaming of something that I want to become and it's been almost four years now I'm still just.... dreaming. It's suffocates me so much but there are doubts and fear and insecurity everything but positivity. I feel stuck in life. I feel like I'm just wasting my time as well as my youth. I hope this will help and I'll make any move and go for what I want now.
And believe me procrastination sucks!!!!
Just pouring my heart out, I want to get out of my comfort home, town and live nomadic life or explore the different parts of country, but my parents health is not supporting at all, neither I can fix in a go, nor I can quit. Adulthood is pretty hard, either start earning from quite early age and make a lot of money so that money takes care of most of things, or be prepared, enjoy early maybe you're in college. Don't compromise on your and your family health, money and life experiences can be bought easily, but time and health.
Seriously your videos are a vibe. It feels like im watching a documentary on Netflix
hey, these type of videos make me realize, and ask myself, what actually is life?, am i living life to the fullest? ill sit down and answer those questions today, what do i want to do? what are my goals? what do i need to achieve my goals? what matters? im improving, im studying everyday, i did yoga yesterday and will today, im reading the newspaper many days, im journalling, im doing diamond art, im playing sports, so what if i enjoy couple hours or do some mistakes? you got this.
I rarely comment on youtube. But, I feel like I should on your videos. Thank you for being such a positive, wonderful and inspirational person. You're a wonderful storyteller, and I am glad I came across your video. Have a good day.
I feel you! live life now.our life is happening and we have options to explore! :)
First time here, and I know there must be a reason for that. With that, I thank you so much for the fact that I have another quotes to live by, "Say yes now. Figure it out later." Much love to you ❤
i just had a mental breakdown at work because i felt overwhelmed by all the responsibilities i have and still pursue my dreams and have a life but youtube recommended me this video and now i feel kinda better, thank you so much for this, it helped lots💕
Very interesting to see different people in there 20's here. I just turned 20, and my life ahead seems so daunting. Yet because I don't "know my potential" yet I feel full of energy and ready to succeed. But sometimes I slow down and see life in a sort of wholistic way. your videos has helped me with that as of late.
The Universe is constantly unfolding, so really, nobody has it fully figured out, because nobody really knows what is going to happen in future, once we accept that and let go, you find true freedom, it's liberating to let go control, and go with the flow, and that in itself is as close to figuring it out we will ever get, and that's beautiful.
I think your videos are what I've really been needing lately. Thank you.
0:34 shocked me! I've been listening to Andrew & his sibs podcast. Huhu So good to see all my fave content creators in one frame! Luv ya all!
So true, saying yes to things , taking the risk ! Amazing ! Thanks for sharing 😊🐈
I'm 18 years old, got no friends and have been doing online school for 3 years, this is my final year of high-school which will be ending in less then a month, I will try to take what you've said here and apply it to my own life, idk why but sometimes I have trouble understanding points to big philosophical video like this but I do know some points such as to go with the flow and say yes to things, of course say no in certain situations but for ones such as meeting new people or going out with friends, to go with the Flow and have faith in yourself. Ive also learned that if I dont learn these things I may miss out on many crucial moments in my life and live a forgetful life, which is one I do not want to live, I hope I've understood your video and regardless thank you got making this video for other people.
same here I been stuck doing online school for 3 years now and I'm 21, I'm taking the risk of going to college in person next month so we'll see what happens!
Say YESS now..& then figure it out later..
This was me in 2023. Now this year I’m like what’s gonna happen, but I look forward to it.
Trying to learn this YT thing, I pressed "K" every time I noticed a cut. I counted 123. I tried to also see if I could categorize each one as Closup, Medium, or Wide. I could not even keep up with camera movement and changes in camera angles. It's amazing to study what goes by so smoothly and seamlessly if I just sit back and watch. You demonstrate the truism that really good editing is not even noticeable. It's a pleasure.
Your videos are so refreshing, inspiring, I'm currently changing my mindset and your approach is pretty similar so I'm happy other people can learn that from you. Keep going, you're amazing !!
the part at 4:46 reminds me of this shot in working girl where the main character was looking at the city from the ferry and it was when her life had also changed. Thank you for this beautiful video, it takes away some of the fear I have to say yes to things
omg adding that movie to my watch list!
Thank you.. for this incredible video… I really want to live my real life now…
"Say yes now. Figure it out later." Might be my new mantra for the rest of the year Lol
I couldn't finish this video. I don't want to. I don't want to finish this content and skip to another video. I just want to remain with the feelings you have reminded me. I wish I could be consistent as you were. I've started a new life but sometimes I don't feel strong to keep on.
Feeling behind in life. This is what I am going to change it/ do about it.
My mindset is just keeping doing and going with what I want and what I believe
Have a great year
period!!!
love the mindset !
Thanks for existing
Totally agree, Riza! I wouldn‘t be where I am if this had not clicked with me 10 years ago. I‘m the cautious type who became an adventurer! Looking forward to your next video!
I genuinely loved this video!
I even wrote it down in my notebook.. "say yes now, figure it out later"
It's just like how life goes;
We don't really know why we're here and for what purpose.. but I'm sure a version of you in the future knows!! and they're gonna be glad that you kept going, enjoyed your moments and made those decisions.. so keep going, let go and move with the flow🌟
at the end I'm really excited for the future, I really am.
