Art, Pain & Purpose: A Guide to Self-Discovery and Healing

- David Choe dives into the profound complexities of modern existence. Through an unfiltered and introspective monologue, we are invited to confront the raw emotions that underpin our everyday lives. This episode challenges us to recognize the pervasive sense of being adrift in a world filled with noise-both real and artificial-and to seek authenticity in our responses to it.
The narrative begins with an acknowledgment of collective disillusionment, a recognition that we are, indeed, "messed up." Yet, within this acknowledgment lies the seed of transformative potential: the possibility of rebuilding from a place of truth. This journey isn't merely a lesson in art; it’s an exercise in radical self-awareness. By urging us to thank our souls, confront our pain, and engage with our thoughts as separate entities, the speaker breaks down the barriers that keep us detached from our true selves.
With a blend of humor, vulnerability, and stark realism, the artist-critic reframes mundane experiences, such as riding a bike or swinging at the park, into powerful metaphors for life’s struggles and triumphs. The analogy of wind resistance as life's challenges, and the simple yet profound act of being pushed on a swing, serve as poignant reminders of our need for connection and support.
Ultimately, this video is a call to action: to embrace discomfort, to engage with our emotions rather than numbing them, and to find contentment in simplicity rather than excess. It’s a reminder that true happiness comes not from external validation but from within, by fostering love and compassion for ourselves and others. Whether through a candid exploration of art or a deeply personal reflection, the message is clear-wake up, engage with life fully, and don’t be afraid to ask for what you need.
David Choe is an American artist, musician, and former podcast host from Los Angeles. He has produced his own talk show called The Choe Show on FX Networks, and has appeared on various other shows such a The Joe Rogan Experience, the Rich Roll podcast, and Tiger Belly.

@@davidchoegood morning good morning to yourself
Sir you said if someone or something isnt giving you something , give it to your self ? What if I need deep penetration from the buttocks? Would you recommend I do it to my SELF! 😂😂😂😂 JK much love
thank you david your an inspiration yk that? i hope to f*** that you do , you are amazing
Good morning to meeeee😊❤❤ good afternoon to yoooooooooo😊❤❤@davidchoe
12 years ago, I heard that exact quote, " You are not your thoughts," and what a radical concept it was to me at the time. "You mean, I am not this depressed piece of shit I think I am? You mean they are just thoughts and not who I am as a person. Wtf? I had no clue!" Those words litteraly changed how I perceived my life. I hope this concept resonates with the people that need it the most. It is a life changing lesson worth understanding.
I’ve had the quote “all that we are is a result of what we have thought” on my mirror for a few months. I’ve tried rejecting any negative thoughts and have been seeing negative thoughts as me not making progress. But I think knowing that you are not your thoughts is so much more freeing and powerful. It lets me feel more okay and that these negative thoughts aren’t defining me that I can just let them go.
You can eventually learn to control your thoughts or most of them and or not let them bother you. Of course some will always get through but it’s possible. I used to suffer so much. Eventually you can learn to Let most of them go by like a nearby train or cloud but you don’t let them mess with you anymore or nearly as much. It takes time, sometimes years but it’s worth it & in a couple years usually there is progress. You become more aware of your thought processes. If anyone feels like it lookup CBT & cognitive distortions.
Eckhart tolle is a wise man!
You are such a wise man, and your artistic craft really expresses that. Asking for help can be such a challenge when you expect to do it on your own, but you're right, letting people in and helping takes a lot off your shoulders. Thank you for your wisdom today!!
Thank you now give me a push ! Please
Death by 2000 compliments, a young man laid.
That was amazing from start to finish ❤
luv u mr.Choezinho s2

How much joy can you spread in one hour right now to all of these wonderful people?
@@davidchoe I'll start by being grateful for the purring stray cats in the park as I feed them a snack, for the ability to create timeless and universal art, for the great mysteries of life that keep my spirit looking upward and grounded on this beautiful planet, for the strength I feel in my body as a middle aged man, and for anyone reading this - you are in the right place at the right time you are loved by somebody - and you are worthy of a positive change in your life. Keep the fire alive.
And now I will do one hundred push ups in prayer. Thank you 🙏🏻
At your suggestion I just went to the park across the street and a squirrel bit me and took my wallet. My grandmother died last year and she loved squirrels and taking money from me. Thank you David.
🐿️✨
that's hilarious i hope you're doing good
@@szum-igdzies i am, hope you’re good too 💥
Grandma squirrel 🐿️ bites again so nice to connect with her
😂hilarious and has to be a good omen friend .. totally my kinda day!
Rabies
These are the best art videos on youtube
I kid you not, this is how kids shows in the 90’s were. Motivational, colorful, deep with meaning. They always made you think and inspired you at the same time. Bravo Dave! Sigue el contenido!
Fr this hits home so hard, as an artist of many mediums, this series has seriously helped my day to day as an individual and as an artist.
Pee Wee Herman / Paul Reubens is looking down from The Playhouse in heaven with nothing but love for this show and DChoe!💖
Could you please tell me some?
Thank you for taking the time to make and share. Hope the wind is at your back today.
Today it’s cold and cuttting up the side from the lower southeast but as long as I lean into the discomfort it won’t overtake me 🙏
The wind isn't really at my back today it's like a light breeze from the north-west and lukewarm but it's a slow ride. :}
@@davidchoe that portion reminded me of how strong the winds can be on a motorcycle and having to hold force against them and persevere, holding balance up to the limits of your own physique while navigating through life threatening traffic during rush hour just trying to get home to decompress from the workday only to find some other form of personal hardship to overcome.
You're a genius and I love you ❤️
Could you make a video painting with kimchi. I think it be an awesome video.
This is the modern day Pee-wee's Playhouse / Mr.Rogers / Bob Ross hybrid
Thank you soul
You're welcome
I watched this video and thought, wow, there's still hope for authenticity and creativity in this world where everything is chewed up into most primitive, repetetive bits for ya
I just got back from the park. I met three new friends. Were planning on playing together again soon.
I was actually sleeping until Dave yelled "WAKE UP!" Now I'm motivated and ready to go.
❤️
Was walking asleep till he scared me out of my wits and sleep 😅
I was lost in Samsara, dreaming, but you know just what happened when my father shouted.
I don't know anything about anything, but I know what I don'tt know and that's where I grow.
Hahaha my lord! I didn't know this was exactly what I needed this morning. Profound ❤🙏
the end of your video hit so close that i started crying, i had some crayons laying around the same ones i used to use when i was a kid and i just started drawing and filling in thinking about how it all felt and the whole time i came back to the " who am i ?" question.
i truly do not know the answer to this at this moment and i might never will but i wish slowly discover who am i and turn more into this authentic thing that resides with me, thank u for the video.
🖍️ Life is beautiful, and so are you.
I found this video special bc my name is soul :)
I go on the swings every single time I am feeling really bad. I'm glad another grown-up does it also.
Leave the troll under the bridge 🧡
mr.choe, if life was a swing. you'd be pushing me. thanks dude. you and a whole bunch'a other people. but, your there. high five.
David Choe making me teary. Thanks for all you do. ❤
Teary means waterfall eyes or ripping papers 📑
How did you know about my back pain? Also, I need a face net. Great video, you make me angry as I want to be as free as you. Not so constrained...wrapped up all tight with naggy back pain. I'm getting there. Retraining the brain isnt quick.
@David Choe Thank you for this!
∞
Your videos make me want to do so many things ❤ even though they aren't the tutorials people expect, they have helped me more than any video. I look forward to your next class ✨️
Hope you do some of those things you want to do.
Self employed. I was GOING to go do stone work today. Nah, I'm riding my yellow bike to the park and asking for a push. I'll ask an adult though.......people might get the wrong idea.......especially if I'm in my pajamas and wearing my thinking cap.
Only wrong ideas are the right ideas
@@davidchoe My creative process used to put me through epic pain and hellacious suffering but I started consciously trying to change that a couple years. "Only wrong ideas are the right ideas"--this sort of medicine helped a lot, and continues to.
Hello from the small island of Menorca.Spain,
Thank you very much
Your videos helped me a lot or helped the character i thought i was, inside this depression and non sense, today i just know that i dont know anymore.
Who is I ?
I will start day dreaming that i meet you, that im able to show you my inner child drawings and that you like it.
Much love
I is you and you is I maybe I come visit you in menorca Spain one day
Come anytime! You are more than welcome. Mi casa es tu casa ❤️
I leave a paragraph that may resonate with this video and how magic your work is for us the viewers
. Much love for you David you are amazing
Thoughts have a certain electromagnetic energy form. When we sit in the presence of people who have solved the life problems that we are confronting, their inner accomplishment influences us nonverbally so that our lower-level energy is replaced by a higher thought form. That higher thought form sees the problem as a golden opportunity. What we saw as a loss before the meeting, now we see as a gain because of that nonverbal transmission. The facts have not changed, but how we view the situation has changed because our level of consciousness shifted. The shift occurred not because of the words spoken but by being in the presence of the aura of loving people whose energy field carries the higher wisdom.

appreciate it 💋
The best YTAlgo recommendation today. Thanks Dave!!🤘✊️
Where is that flute from at 1:13? Please
thank you me for bringing me here today, my back pain looks like this ((%))
This channel reminds of my childhood. It feels like a kids show from the 80's but for adults. Like the show grew with me every step of the way through my life and knew exactly how to reach me. Twilight zone shit. Love this guy man. Chur brother
DAVID CHOE my hero.. love you buddy ❤
take action, make art.
I just came here to read all the compliments about my man DAVID CHOE!
❤
I blame a combination of things primarily social media for the lack of presence in today’s culture. You are not your thought. Your thoughts are sticks in a stream you can just watch as they float by.
I noticed i was smiling the whole time while watching ❤
What am I doing right now? Admiring classic Snake Eyes GI Joe on ebay obviously.
Damn man….you get me everytime with these weird ass videos😢
why are these vids so goated
xoxo A tad late but im here!!!!!
my haro is broke... flat tires broke breaks...
Who is cutting onions??? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I've got a pile of a half-dozen self help books on the side of my bed right now, and I feel like David Choe can summarize all of them in one 5 minute talk. The swing had me crying; I'm going to the park.
Huge fan bro your vulnerability speaks volumes about your capacity to love your yes, bring me so much happiness thank you
best vid yet, powerful ideas. In counseling I was taught that our thoughts are like a sushi conveyor, we can pick and choose which ones to hold on to. You can reject your darkest most intrusive thoughts as they don't have to define you... also my screen time needs to come way down
I like that metaphor 🍣
But that doesnt stop them from coming.. its not that easy
David, how are more people not subscribed to these masterpiece videos that you put out?! ASTONISHING.. My 3 channels alone are subscribed family!!
This my 2nd channel
and this my 3rd channel
Your videos always make me feel better about myself and my art, thank you so much ❤️
I want a David Choe talking doll to hug at night.
Me too
This feels like a kid's show for depressed adults. gave me feels...
I love you man. Thank you again.
That's awesome.. I appreciate this video.. ty
Funny I am 38, an take my daughter to local park we bike there it's dope she the best
But I realized I'm the only parent that's swings.. and be playing like I'm her age.. I'm just a big kid.. lol manchild
Ty lord.. I diggit.. ❤️
It's time to wake up brah 😎
WAKE UP!!! 😠
I think everybody can do with some David Choe in their lives.
I love this so much! TY 🤍
The child just knew ........You are a very kind man, and amazing gifted,.....take good care of your blessed state of being,.....,...
I always look forward to watching your videos. I lost my inspiration to create anything, and when talking to my father who is an artist, he agreed that I lost my sparkle instead of encouraging me to try harder. But I’ve been watching your videos since I was about 13 and now 18, and so grateful you came back to TH-cam with these silly videos. It’s like every time you put out a video you’re saying something that I need to hear with perfect timing.
Ikr, same with other "life" youtubers like this really cool guy "Elisha Long", I guess that's God's plan in fruition for all of us. :))
This was a masterpiece
U r a masterpiece
Glad I was able to watch this one with a friend who genuinely needed to hear a message like this. Divine timing. These videos are so important in so many ways Dave. Love you. CHOE ME THE WAY
A reminder that you are loved.
i love your videos man they always make me smile
Thanks Dave this spoke directly to my life now
Thank you for lightening the load
No worries maybe you can pay it forward one day
This is food for my soul. Have a great day, David and the whole behind the scenes crew.
=-}
🙏⭕️
@@davidchoe great job dave...keep going!
Seoul food for your soul
Good idea.
Heading to the park after work with my son.
Thanks Choe broe.
Hope you enjoy it!
Good morning to myself
When I was a kid I had PBS and Pappyland teach me how to draw. Now I have TH-cam and Dave to remind me to love that inner child 🤍
If i ever start a youtube channel....i want it to be like David cho. Maybe because i am a scropio and a middle child....or we have the same sense of humour....i feel like we're speaking the same language. I am an artist myself and i feel like such a loser coz i have gotten nowhere now that i am 42yrs old....sometimes i realize when i create for myself....it turns out amazing...but when i get the love and attention from the public for my art creations....i guess i will then crave the attention and validation...and want more...i create something i think others will like and my art becomes blah....its like a cycle...and i donno how to break from it. This is somesort like a wake up call....i needed somebody to say Wake the hell up!.....it worked....Btw, I love u in the series Beef! Any chance u coming to Malaysia bro?
Woke up to a text with this video sent to me in it. 🙏thank you friend🙏 after weeks of waking up with back pain, internal dread, existential anxiety, It was exactly what I needed to 💥 WAKE 💥 UP💥 Appreciate the internal STRONGTH and artistic production going into this and every Choe video. THANK YOU CHOE
I hope calculus blesses you with long division integrated many times over.
luv u David

This video is beautiful. Thank you for your art. I’m crying in my works break room haha
The highest virtue does nothing. Yet, nothing needs to be done. The lowest virtue does everything. Yet, much remains to be done.
I love you David
Just what I needed to hear today, Dave, at just the right moment. Thank you.
That's God's plan for you my friend.
As someone who suffers from a genetic spinal condition, thank you so much for these videos David. From the bottom of my heart. You are truly helping me survive and live a better life each day. I've got a lot of inner ugliness to work out, and your videos have been unfathomably helpful in helping change my mindset around my life. Never stop being you, it makes the world a better place.
You are and artist, something within you ? thoughts feelings you cant move past? focus and grab them roll them into clay, reform yourself.
My son pushes me on the swing sometimes, love you dave. Love to the edge of the fucking universe man.
Now...I LUV this!
Oh God I'm crying
Hi David, I just wanted to say I love you ❤️
I don’t know anything about the universe or signs or any of that. But your video popped into my feed right when I needed it. Who am I not to listen.
You are a great storyteller. So glad to find this.
David your words are exceptional because they transcend age. I believe your voice could be understood by all ages. Thank you for this one. These are incredibly consoling and I'm only 20

I'm only halfway in and I'm realizing this is the chaos pep talk I've needed all along. Love therapy, love my therapist, but sometimes you really need to explore the expressiveness of your emotions I love his take on mindfulness and other techniques from an artist's perspective. I'm loving this brother thanks for the breakthroughs this is helping a lot
Pure gold each show is...thank you
