I've been struggling with this for soooo many years now running away from my problems a week ago I had a dream that the thing I was running away from was actually there to help me. Now it's happening but I'm having constant panic attacks asking God the universe anything for help to try explain. Every fear seems to be coming up in my life literally the day after I said about me facing my fears
I'm on disability, sitting in my messy apartment, in agonizing pain (emotionally and physically), barely able to get up. But after this video, I choose to be free from the shackles of my suffering. I may be in pain, but I'm choosing to slowly get up and go get some cookies and smile despite the pain. Thank you. Thanks to those who wished me well. Appreciate it. I'm in the process of looking for a job right now.

That is true, but it the nature of man to go beyond what is expected and what he deserves. Man pushes himself past his limit to ensure a better future for himself and his loved ones. Animals in nature don't plan more than a winter in advance, but we humans do. I can't blame people for doing that. It's the reason why humans are the most powerful animals on the planet. But for those not enamoured by power and pride, like me, it seems pretty pointless.
@jesusbermudez6775 You're calling it suffering, so yes, you do choose to suffer. Think of it more like a challenge in a game, difficulties are there to make you a better person. There's something to win in every situation, so it isn't suffering, it's a game.
Watching this on my birthday, feeling forgotten about and having been in a depressed state for almost a year. Definitely looking for the honey, as I know, this too shall pass. I wish the best to everyone who comes across this video and this short message of mine.
*”Pain is certain. Suffering is optional”.* I’ve recently come to this conclusion myself after a series of catastrophic events including losing my father and my home. I was unable to put that thought into a concise impactful sentence so this video has helped so much with that. This is my mantra from now on most likely.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I know you’re strong and you got this! I’m happy that you have found a mantra that helps you :) you are so strong and things will get better
I’ve cried every night for the last 4 months wishing I could change my situation and honestly trying so hard but nothing changes. I just pray it gets better one day like I’ve known in the past.
Chris Gardner was devastated to get evicted from his hotel room. It was even sadder to spend that night sleeping in the public restroom. But that painful experience of homelessness drove him to work so hard that he managed to beat out all other 19 competitive interns for that stockbroker job with Dean Witter. And later become a multimillionaire. Blessing in disguise?

I really needed to hear this. I'm 34, jobless for 3 years living with my father and brother. Even though I'm not in any kind financial problems (brother & father helps me out) but my inner conscious is eating me for smooching on their money. I'm hoping to get a job soon, hopefully that day comes soon.
This one is definitely worth watching twice, at least for me. The message is stoic, be at peace with the inevitable change around us, when it is good, enjoy, for we know the ebb and flow. When it is bad, take heart, it is not permanent and something will change for the better. The waves of life like the waves on the shore..

i'm not convinced by the idea that "when it is bad, it is not permanent". some people end up living years of misery only to then die. this is where i am not convinced by the video.
I've already died. I didn't want to come back... So I know for me it will be joyous compared to living here. But for many I realized this will not be so.
I find something contradictory between this assertion and a fragment of the video. Regarding the king, it's said "when the times were good, he prepared for bad times ..." Then, the king was thinking about the future.
I lost a lot of so called friends a few years back. They were the type of people who were quick to call me for a favor but forget to call me when there was an event. It was difficult to get over it, but now that I'm on the other end I thank God they are out of my life. It was an eye opener and taught me how to navigate away from users in my life.
same but im grateful to be free from all of the users in my life, the attachments set me free. I have so much better relationships now with people that actually care about my well being, people that dont put their well being over mine. Its a blessing, ain't It ?
Before this year ends, i just want to thank you for this video because it really did helped me through my darkest moment of this year. That moment seemed endless and hopeless until this was recommended to me by yt. I managed to pull myself up and go on. You don't know how much this means to me. Im sincerely grateful ♥️
I needed this SO MUCH today. My mind is always worrying about the future, imagining the worst case scenario, or dreading the past. I’ve lost sight of the present so much that I’m almost blind to it, that I haven’t been enjoying the where I am and what I have. I’ve only been imagining the worst future scenarios. I need to get myself under control. I’ll keep this video handy. Again, thank you. ✨💖✨
I feel the same way we are living in such an uncertain world atm 😟 I try and concentrate on the small things that I am grateful for each morning and each night Watching something funny before I go to sleep helps Stay strong you got this Sending some gentle virtual hugs your way 🙏🤗🌻💜🙏
@@purpledreamer9654 Thanks. My life is actually pretty amazing. There is just a few elements I can’t fix or expedite, and I choose to suffer because of them. I let fear consume me, maybe because it’s easier to play the victim than taking a risk and fixing my situation. I really appreciate this video, and your comment. Both some extra strength to get me through the day. ✨💎✨
I love so much that this amazing quote is literally wisdom from a tortoise to a panda, yet is one of the most crucial truths that absolutely changed my perception of life.
My entire life was turned upside down September 3 2020, been struggling since. Something happened today that started to change my mind, then I saw the video on same day... This video seem to come at the exactly the right time for me to make sense of what happened in my life.
@@kashhere4778 Mine started falling appart end 2019. 2020 and 2021 are the continuation. But yesterday i watched a video and another on this channel that changed my mindset. And today i was recommended this one. I'm greatfull.
what i searched in youtube is "would things really fall in place?", and i was already expecting at the back of my mind Einzelganger has something for this. I love the story of the man in the well, that the future and our perception of it and preparation for it are things that we should be mindful of rather than the suffering. Thanks once again mate!
this video helps me a lot, I saved this video 3years ago in my playlist, and always play it everytime I am struggling in life. it helps me to accept the situation and keep going. Thank you so much.
When life falls apart and you have no control, focus on maintaining your mental fortitude, strengthen it, nurture it and soon you will see that the Universe has rewritten your destiny for a reason.
This video came as recommendation at a perfect time when I am going through a dark tunnel of misery and hopelessness. Lost my father few months back, after his demise me and my brother handling his businesses and struggling a lot. On top of that I am so lonely I don't have anyone to get comfortable with.
When times are good, prepare for the bad times. When times are bad, look ahead to the good times. Remind yourself of fluctuating nature of life and detach yourself from the reactions that come with it.
I’ve listened to this several times. My tendency is to completely fold when I’ve been used, abused, and thrown away because of childhood trauma. This made me remember the time my ex decided not to send my children back to me for my week of Christmas. We had kept things open because of his constantly changing work schedule. But with narcissists that was the wrong thing to do. I was in a deep depression because I had taken off the week and had plans but as usual he killed then. My husband kept trying to cheer me up. Instead I was in a ball on the bed crying. He finally gently but firmly said that I could continue crying over a situation that wouldn’t change or I could get up and get ready and he’d take me to a movie. It hit me that the time would pass either way. The first scenario I’d be exhausted and sad going back to work after the week. The second I could try to make the best of it. Going through a heartbreak with my adult daughter now because she chooses to be the same way as her dad. I want to roll into a ball, but I know that I’ll be ok if I just keep moving forward and concentrating on what is going right in my life. I’m pretty easy to please. Trying to please someone who is bottomless is so draining and what I have had to remind myself is completely pointless.
Wow men must have lots of emotional power over women, because they always seem tobe the topic to discuss with our girlfriends, family and the internet.
The future NEVER plays out how we imagine it. The way we imagine things has a 100% fail rate, it might be similar but it's never ever the same as we imagine it, yet we give our imagination so much credit. It's pretty stupid how much credit we do give it when you see just how unreliable it actually is hahaha.
Life's Timing is so mysterious, because I just got the book When Things Fall Apart... and life is a cycle full of changes so thank you for this powerful video

I am desperately trying to get through the next 22 months of misery in order to get my retirement package. I am watching videos such as this one to help me frame my situation as something tolerable. Wish me luck.
Sometimes life may fall apart, but what may happen next is even better than what was going on before. I know it sounds odd, but there are many lessons to learn from suffering. I almost died in a horrible car accident. My recovery was and is long, I lost my job, car, income, house, etc... I lost many people who I thought were friends. There was a point I even felt I would lose my sanity over it all. But during the hardest time of recovery, I realized so much about myself. I forgave myself and others for pains I dragged with me every day. I just had to breath and ask myself, what is the universe trying to show me and day by day I went with that feeling. Life is all about perspective.
This was such a good lesson in fears, expectations, perspectives and faith in the future. I have struggled with my last year of university, grades have been slipping, relationships and opportunities lost, and just overall quality of education and life have been less than ideal. I have seen my grades drop, depression set in and anxiety take me over. This was SO helpful and adjusted my perspective so it's more about the "big picture". If I don't graduate with honours, don't get a MSc/ MIM, maybe there are other options I'm not seeing being so hyper focused. Anxiety gave me tunnel vision and his video broadened it! Thanks so much for this and all your content! Sincerely, a new subscriber. (Greetings from 🇨🇦)
Reminds me of the ancient story of the farmers horse running away but returning with another horse with it. Life certainly seems to fall into place instead of having "bad luck" or "good luck". Also if there is no free will, then everything has already "happened" and we just have yet to experience it.
I’m currently facing a very hard financial situation and I’ve been stressed all day overthinking about how this could only get worse ... I’m watching this video before I go to bed and I for the first time today, feel calm, relaxed and suddenly clear minded enough to find a solution to turn my situation around, I’ll come back and edit this comment once I over come this obstacle 🙌🏻
In the story actually the situation solves by itself. Without the man having to do anything about it. The video states that the situation can get really painful. The video is actually for when there's nothing we can do..
I wholeheartedly agree. I thank everyone I’ve met on TH-cam. You have each taught me a lesson. All in all, you have made me a stronger person. Now I must go. I wish all of you the very best of luck. Namaste 🙏.
The Future is undetermined. People die, fortunes appear, skills are learned, people come into your life. Pray things happen as they will. Dance to the music in your heart. Pursue the visions in your mind. Love those around you. Tomorrow is not guaranteed and yesterday is not what you remember. Now is an opportunity to beat to your own drum.
I have an existental crisis which started during summer. No job, clueless who I even am and what I should do in my life, middle of breaking up. I’m too scared and confused to even take any step to any direction, I don’t know what to do. Things haven’t got much better even though months has passed and I’m starting to feel hopeless, maybe this will never get better. But I just have to believe that my life will turn around someday. Someday I will be happy again and know who I am and what I wanna do in my life and I actually enjoy what I’m doing. I just have to push forward until then.
@@Einzelgänger Today I learnt that one of my worst nightmares has been a reality for months. It was complete coincidence this video appeared in my inbox. Despite the despair I feel now because of my realization, I feel that many walls have been destroyed in my mind and I understand so much more because of that despair. I thank you for making this video.
@mz. white I used to love people, I uesd to love art and music and freedom to just be, these corporate elitist have ruined it all, made everything worthless, I'm just sick of being a slave to the dollar because that's how they want it, but they don't own me
Some grumpy situations cradled me and embattled me in the midst of the dark, cries, painfulness, agony all got caught in the action. Wandering in the dark to get some light at the end of the dark tunnel, there was someone who made the darkness turned to light and a little little joy that came on that path of misery and pain, experiencing them and absorbing those pain without painfulness made a difference. Namo Budhaya, Respect to Stoicism, Kudos to you for this video 😌

Life at time changes, ebbs and flows, but no matter how desperate the situation, as long you draw breath, you can still live and still fight. I love that you mentioned Albert Camus, I adore him as a philosopher.
I just love this story so much. I was first introduced to it by a Korean monk in a monastery in Thailand, a very special moment in my life. In hindsight, I remember the direct relevance of the story to what was happening in my life then - the 'unexpected' short stay at the monastery ended up being the sweet honey that I chose to take amidst the craziness of highly uncontrollable circumstances around that time in my life. I have since been able to share this story in this wonderful video format that you have created and made available at the click of a finger. I, myself, just come back to this from time to time as a gentle reminder that life is ever-changing - and ACTUALLY, ALWAYS falls into place:). Lol, until it falls back out. BUT then the cycle continues:)...characterising the exhilarating ride that is life. Thank you so much for posting and creating such beauty 🙏💖
I have been depressed for the past 3 years and am trying to get out of it, I am looking on the brighter side of life and feeling gratitude for the things I have in my life but I suffer from frequent bouts of depression from time to time even now when I am healing and today was one such day...this video came at the very right moment, just when I needed to feel better. I feel like being alive is one of the most beautiful things and we must utilize whatever talents we have to lead a good life no matter what we think in our darkest hours, no matter how miserable we think our life is...every new day is a second chance
I am not trying to exaggerate at all but I want to say that your work is a gift to humankind. Thank you so much for being so useful. I am hoping to be one of your patrons soon. Your work is impacting the way I think of life in a deep way. Stay blessed.
Discovered your channel a few months ago and I've seen many videos, love them all. But this one has the most poignant message for me personally, so thank you for creating this content. These stories and philosophies you're sharing have a huge impact on some of us who are "suffering" needlessly. It helps a lot.
I just wanted to say that your videos helped me through a very intense time of my life where I just didn't know where to go or what to do. Everything seemed unsure and out of my control and your videos gave me the courage to let go of the desire to control everything. It helped me to trust and not force something! Thank you! You don't even know how powerful your videos are.
Thank you for sharing such beautiful story in so simple way. And I too feel that I needed to hear something like this to restore my faith. I am also in a difficult position after losing my father to a conspiracy by the relatives/ neighbors, struggling to keep rest of my family protected while it’s affecting my health and peace of mind . But I will remember “ this too shall pass” and Inshaallah there will be something good for us. This might make us stronger than ever.
Overcoming depression.. came long way.. and long way to go.. Everyone has their own problems, but I think it's always about the state of mind and perceptions. Feed your mind with positive thoughts, accept whatever happened and focus on your health and next move, and have faith😊😇 sending love and blessings to all of you 🙏😇
Algorithm can be freaky sometimes. Something just happened that made me feel disturbed for a while now but then this got reccommended. Need to remind myself that the thing was out of my control and I should just appreciate what's in front of me.
I always go back to an interview with reggae artist Bob Marley from time where he explained that when he was piss poor, he never saw it as being poor. He even goes as far to say that he never once felt like he suffered and it was all state of mind. This is coming from a mind who grew up in one of the poorest areas in Jamaica. He had no family, no support, nothing. Can only imagine the level of consciouness you have to be at, to come to a conclusion like that at a young age.
When I look back at things I thought would end me… they never did. In all those situations I learned and gained a greater understanding/ empathy that I hadn’t had before. So maybe things happen as they do and it truly is what you do with those experiences. Maybe the sweet isn’t as sweet without recognizing the fragility and randomness of life. Thanks for this. Puts a lot into perspective.
I never thought about a crisis in that way but when I look at my life 7.5 years ago when it came crashing down, my life now couldn’t be better. For me, there is definitely a connection between the two. The source of the connection was my heightened level of consciousness as a result of my life being ship wrecked. My motivation to come out of the dungeons was through the roof and I became relentless and unstoppable . It gave me valuable lessons that helped me to carve out a divine path for me to follow. Even today, I am grateful for everything and take nothing for granted, even change which is inevitable. None of us know the future so why stress about it. I just live my life in the present which is a gift (pun intended!). Don’t ever lose hope - God was testing me 👍👍🙏🙏
You've made a video that teach or remind us to go with the flow of life. Although it can be hard to not accept the present in a certain moment, accepting is the best thing to do at that time. By accepting you calm your feelings and receive yourself a boost of trust that it is okay what is happening, although feelings of fear or stress are active on the surface (the mind). Je video's helpen enorm, dank je voor het maken en uploaden van deze leringen!
This is a timely video. I believe the, "Universe" sent it as a reminder to keep up with my progress. Thanks to meditation, I learned to go with the flow of life and not react so negatively to everything. Thanks for posting!
I m thankful to universe that i randomly clicked on this video and enlightened by this knowledge. every one should watch this video . Thanks again for such lovely video.
This still remains one of the best video you ever made. Whenever life is not good to me, i replay this video. Its very uplifting, thank you and all philosophers in history.

I find something contradictory between this assertion and a fragment of the video. Regarding the king, it's said "when the times were good, he prepared for bad times ..." Then, the king was thinking about the future.
The present moment could mean your demise,fool❌☠️💥💲
I lost a lot of so called friends a few years back. They were the type of people who were quick to call me for a favor but forget to call me when there was an event. It was difficult to get over it, but now that I'm on the other end I thank God they are out of my life. It was an eye opener and taught me how to navigate away from users in my life.
They gave you freedom 😉
I feel u man am falling down myself
same but im grateful to be free from all of the users in my life, the attachments set me free. I have so much better relationships now with people that actually care about my well being, people that dont put their well being over mine. Its a blessing, ain't It ?
Before this year ends, i just want to thank you for this video because it really did helped me through my darkest moment of this year. That moment seemed endless and hopeless until this was recommended to me by yt. I managed to pull myself up and go on. You don't know how much this means to me. Im sincerely grateful ♥️
Beautiful. It’s helping me too 💜🪷
I needed this SO MUCH today. My mind is always worrying about the future, imagining the worst case scenario, or dreading the past. I’ve lost sight of the present so much that I’m almost blind to it, that I haven’t been enjoying the where I am and what I have. I’ve only been imagining the worst future scenarios. I need to get myself under control. I’ll keep this video handy. Again, thank you. ✨💖✨
I feel the same way we are living in such an uncertain world atm 😟
I try and concentrate on the small things that I am grateful for each morning and each night
Watching something funny before I go to sleep helps
Stay strong you got this
Sending some gentle virtual hugs your way 🙏🤗🌻💜🙏
@@purpledreamer9654 Thanks. My life is actually pretty amazing. There is just a few elements I can’t fix or expedite, and I choose to suffer because of them. I let fear consume me, maybe because it’s easier to play the victim than taking a risk and fixing my situation. I really appreciate this video, and your comment. Both some extra strength to get me through the day. ✨💎✨
Just live in the moment. Take a deep breath when everything feels like overwhelming.

My entire life was turned upside down September 3 2020, been struggling since.
Something happened today that started to change my mind, then I saw the video on same day...
This video seem to come at the exactly the right time for me to make sense of what happened in my life.
You've been struggling financially💲
My life began to fall apart the same time.... in still struggling...
@@kashhere4778 Mine started falling appart end 2019. 2020 and 2021 are the continuation. But yesterday i watched a video and another on this channel that changed my mindset. And today i was recommended this one.
I'm greatfull.
what i searched in youtube is "would things really fall in place?", and i was already expecting at the back of my mind Einzelganger has something for this. I love the story of the man in the well, that the future and our perception of it and preparation for it are things that we should be mindful of rather than the suffering. Thanks once again mate!
this video helps me a lot, I saved this video 3years ago in my playlist, and always play it everytime I am struggling in life. it helps me to accept the situation and keep going. Thank you so much.
When life falls apart and you have no control, focus on maintaining your mental fortitude, strengthen it, nurture it and soon you will see that the Universe has rewritten your destiny for a reason.

This video came as recommendation at a perfect time when I am going through a dark tunnel of misery and hopelessness. Lost my father few months back, after his demise me and my brother handling his businesses and struggling a lot. On top of that I am so lonely I don't have anyone to get comfortable with.
Sorry for your loss...you are not alone and I hope things get better
Me too, I hope you get better 💖.
Sorry for your loss. Stay strong 🙏

When times are good, prepare for the bad times. When times are bad, look ahead to the good times.
Remind yourself of fluctuating nature of life and detach yourself from the reactions that come with it.
🙏 True
You missed the point. Just live in the present moment, for the moment - you cannot prepare for what you don’t know
I’ve listened to this several times. My tendency is to completely fold when I’ve been used, abused, and thrown away because of childhood trauma. This made me remember the time my ex decided not to send my children back to me for my week of Christmas. We had kept things open because of his constantly changing work schedule. But with narcissists that was the wrong thing to do. I was in a deep depression because I had taken off the week and had plans but as usual he killed then. My husband kept trying to cheer me up. Instead I was in a ball on the bed crying. He finally gently but firmly said that I could continue crying over a situation that wouldn’t change or I could get up and get ready and he’d take me to a movie. It hit me that the time would pass either way. The first scenario I’d be exhausted and sad going back to work after the week. The second I could try to make the best of it. Going through a heartbreak with my adult daughter now because she chooses to be the same way as her dad. I want to roll into a ball, but I know that I’ll be ok if I just keep moving forward and concentrating on what is going right in my life. I’m pretty easy to please. Trying to please someone who is bottomless is so draining and what I have had to remind myself is completely pointless.

I needed this quote, thank you.
Realest talk on the video
The future NEVER plays out how we imagine it. The way we imagine things has a 100% fail rate, it might be similar but it's never ever the same as we imagine it, yet we give our imagination so much credit. It's pretty stupid how much credit we do give it when you see just how unreliable it actually is hahaha.
Some cold hard truth right here
Wow that’s so true. That just changed my perspective wow thank you fr
Do not discount the purpose of your imagination. Its evolutionary biology that kept our species alive for millions of years
Thx for this
Needed this today.
Life's Timing is so mysterious, because I just got the book When Things Fall Apart... and life is a cycle full of changes so thank you for this powerful video
This is a very beautiful reminder.
Everyday I learn a little, fail a little but I want to appreciate my life as it is. Thank you.
- Things change.
- Our perceptions decide our reactions.
Really appreciate the clarity with which you present the thoughts. Great video 👍🏽

It's showed up on my recommendation when I'm feeling dejected.....
Truly made me calm..... hopefully I'll heal from the pain I'm going through 😔
I am desperately trying to get through the next 22 months of misery in order to get my retirement package. I am watching videos such as this one to help me frame my situation as something tolerable. Wish me luck.
Sometimes life may fall apart, but what may happen next is even better than what was going on before. I know it sounds odd, but there are many lessons to learn from suffering. I almost died in a horrible car accident. My recovery was and is long, I lost my job, car, income, house, etc... I lost many people who I thought were friends. There was a point I even felt I would lose my sanity over it all. But during the hardest time of recovery, I realized so much about myself. I forgave myself and others for pains I dragged with me every day. I just had to breath and ask myself, what is the universe trying to show me and day by day I went with that feeling. Life is all about perspective.
This was such a good lesson in fears, expectations, perspectives and faith in the future. I have struggled with my last year of university, grades have been slipping, relationships and opportunities lost, and just overall quality of education and life have been less than ideal. I have seen my grades drop, depression set in and anxiety take me over. This was SO helpful and adjusted my perspective so it's more about the "big picture". If I don't graduate with honours, don't get a MSc/ MIM, maybe there are other options I'm not seeing being so hyper focused. Anxiety gave me tunnel vision and his video broadened it! Thanks so much for this and all your content! Sincerely, a new subscriber. (Greetings from 🇨🇦)
Whenever things change for me and get better I’ll appreciate this video for teaching me to stay down for the come up no matter how bad shit gets
Thank God, I stumbled into this when I was at my lowest ebb. How very timely this was... I was jolted back to life.🙏🏼🙏🏼😥😊

Hang in there.
Never give up on Hope!
To all reading this life will fall in its place 🙏🏻🍯
I really hope so.
Your channel along with Awaken insight and Academy of Ideas have saved me.
I cant thank you enough.
Thank you!

This video found me at the right time. Thank you. I needed this.
Reminds me of the ancient story of the farmers horse running away but returning with another horse with it. Life certainly seems to fall into place instead of having "bad luck" or "good luck". Also if there is no free will, then everything has already "happened" and we just have yet to experience it.
I’m currently facing a very hard financial situation and I’ve been stressed all day overthinking about how this could only get worse ... I’m watching this video before I go to bed and I for the first time today, feel calm, relaxed and suddenly clear minded enough to find a solution to turn my situation around, I’ll come back and edit this comment once I over come this obstacle 🙌🏻
In the story actually the situation solves by itself. Without the man having to do anything about it. The video states that the situation can get really painful. The video is actually for when there's nothing we can do..
How are you
I wholeheartedly agree. I thank everyone I’ve met on TH-cam. You have each taught me a lesson. All in all, you have made me a stronger person. Now I must go. I wish all of you the very best of luck. Namaste 🙏.
and to you also dear one, go well 🙏.🙏.🙏.
The Future is undetermined. People die, fortunes appear, skills are learned, people come into your life. Pray things happen as they will. Dance to the music in your heart. Pursue the visions in your mind. Love those around you. Tomorrow is not guaranteed and yesterday is not what you remember. Now is an opportunity to beat to your own drum.
I have an existental crisis which started during summer. No job, clueless who I even am and what I should do in my life, middle of breaking up. I’m too scared and confused to even take any step to any direction, I don’t know what to do.
Things haven’t got much better even though months has passed and I’m starting to feel hopeless, maybe this will never get better. But I just have to believe that my life will turn around someday. Someday I will be happy again and know who I am and what I wanna do in my life and I actually enjoy what I’m doing. I just have to push forward until then.
This was actually really good advice. Words to live by. I wish I did so 15-20 years ago. Time flies and life is short. Enjoy these small moments.
Have been watching your channel for a long time and I just want to say, that I really like your content! Much appreciation. ✌
Thank you :)
@@Einzelgänger Today I learnt that one of my worst nightmares has been a reality for months. It was complete coincidence this video appeared in my inbox. Despite the despair I feel now because of my realization, I feel that many walls have been destroyed in my mind and I understand so much more because of that despair. I thank you for making this video.
My life is definitely falling apart, there is very little joy in this universe at this point in life
mine too.
Time for a reset! It's never too late to start from scratch. Never give up on Hope.
@mz. white I used to love people, I uesd to love art and music and freedom to just be, these corporate elitist have ruined it all, made everything worthless, I'm just sick of being a slave to the dollar because that's how they want it, but they don't own me
I've been having a tough week ... Finding this video is truly a blessing ...
Some grumpy situations cradled me and embattled me in the midst of the dark, cries, painfulness, agony all got caught in the action. Wandering in the dark to get some light at the end of the dark tunnel, there was someone who made the darkness turned to light and a little little joy that came on that path of misery and pain, experiencing them and absorbing those pain without painfulness made a difference. Namo Budhaya, Respect to Stoicism, Kudos to you for this video 😌
This is one of his best & most memorable videos ever. It should be like a prescription that everyone needs to adhere to throughout existence! Thank you for creating & posting it. ❤

I just love this story so much. I was first introduced to it by a Korean monk in a monastery in Thailand, a very special moment in my life. In hindsight, I remember the direct relevance of the story to what was happening in my life then - the 'unexpected' short stay at the monastery ended up being the sweet honey that I chose to take amidst the craziness of highly uncontrollable circumstances around that time in my life. I have since been able to share this story in this wonderful video format that you have created and made available at the click of a finger. I, myself, just come back to this from time to time as a gentle reminder that life is ever-changing - and ACTUALLY, ALWAYS falls into place:). Lol, until it falls back out. BUT then the cycle continues:)...characterising the exhilarating ride that is life. Thank you so much for posting and creating such beauty 🙏💖
I have been depressed for the past 3 years and am trying to get out of it, I am looking on the brighter side of life and feeling gratitude for the things I have in my life but I suffer from frequent bouts of depression from time to time even now when I am healing and today was one such day...this video came at the very right moment, just when I needed to feel better.
I feel like being alive is one of the most beautiful things and we must utilize whatever talents we have to lead a good life no matter what we think in our darkest hours, no matter how miserable we think our life is...every new day is a second chance

“Pain is certain, suffering is optional “. Well said.
Discovered your channel a few months ago and I've seen many videos, love them all. But this one has the most poignant message for me personally, so thank you for creating this content. These stories and philosophies you're sharing have a huge impact on some of us who are "suffering" needlessly. It helps a lot.
Thank you 🙏

Everything seemed unsure and out of my control and your videos gave me the courage to let go of the desire to control everything. It helped me to trust and not force something! Thank you! You don't even know how powerful your videos are.
Thank you so much for preparing this video. My heart was in deepest pain just now. It heals at least 40% of pain. Thank you
Wow, recent events occurred that affected me negatively and this shows up. Maybe it does.
And it's called social distancing,fool🏳️🌈
Thank you for sharing such beautiful story in so simple way. And I too feel that I needed to hear something like this to restore my faith. I am also in a difficult position after losing my father to a conspiracy by the relatives/ neighbors, struggling to keep rest of my family protected while it’s affecting my health and peace of mind . But I will remember “ this too shall pass” and Inshaallah there will be something good for us. This might make us stronger than ever.
Overcoming depression.. came long way.. and long way to go..
Everyone has their own problems, but I think it's always about the state of mind and perceptions. Feed your mind with positive thoughts, accept whatever happened and focus on your health and next move, and have faith😊😇 sending love and blessings to all of you 🙏😇
Algorithm can be freaky sometimes. Something just happened that made me feel disturbed for a while now but then this got reccommended.
Need to remind myself that the thing was out of my control and I should just appreciate what's in front of me.
you have no idea, how much I needed to hear this
I always go back to an interview with reggae artist Bob Marley from time where he explained that when he was piss poor, he never saw it as being poor. He even goes as far to say that he never once felt like he suffered and it was all state of mind. This is coming from a mind who grew up in one of the poorest areas in Jamaica. He had no family, no support, nothing. Can only imagine the level of consciouness you have to be at, to come to a conclusion like that at a young age.
he had no family?
To be alive and not suffering is enough.
Some people should do some research on why Jamaica is poor,the algorithm in reggae music is called the off beat,I hope it's not dancehalls fault🇯🇲🦇💲❌
When I look back at things I thought would end me… they never did. In all those situations I learned and gained a greater understanding/ empathy that I hadn’t had before. So maybe things happen as they do and it truly is what you do with those experiences. Maybe the sweet isn’t as sweet without recognizing the fragility and randomness of life. Thanks for this. Puts a lot into perspective.
I guess the TH-cam algorithm understands me better than my psychologist
Me too you I have TH-cam channel that’s my only social contact I’m disgusted with this nightmare of a world.....
@Shamus Beaglehole what do you mean ?
@Shamus Beaglehole are you playing me ?
I never thought about a crisis in that way but when I look at my life 7.5 years ago when it came crashing down, my life now couldn’t be better. For me, there is definitely a connection between the two. The source of the connection was my heightened level of consciousness as a result of my life being ship wrecked. My motivation to come out of the dungeons was through the roof and I became relentless and unstoppable . It gave me valuable lessons that helped me to carve out a divine path for me to follow. Even today, I am grateful for everything and take nothing for granted, even change which is inevitable. None of us know the future so why stress about it. I just live my life in the present which is a gift (pun intended!). Don’t ever lose hope - God was testing me 👍👍🙏🙏
Thank you. Life is teaching me daily
You've made a video that teach or remind us to go with the flow of life. Although it can be hard to not accept the present in a certain moment, accepting is the best thing to do at that time.
By accepting you calm your feelings and receive yourself a boost of trust that it is okay what is happening, although feelings of fear or stress are active on the surface (the mind).
Je video's helpen enorm, dank je voor het maken en uploaden van deze leringen!

This is a timely video. I believe the, "Universe" sent it as a reminder to keep up with my progress. Thanks to meditation, I learned to go with the flow of life and not react so negatively to everything. Thanks for posting!
I m thankful to universe that i randomly clicked on this video and enlightened by this knowledge. every one should watch this video . Thanks again for such lovely video.
This still remains one of the best video you ever made. Whenever life is not good to me, i replay this video. Its very uplifting, thank you and all philosophers in history.
