You are WHATEVER you will to be. You don’t have to compartmentalize yourself into categories. Seek new experiences that benefit you. Seek new places. Do different things you have not thought before. Ask yourself how you feel when you experience new things. Your self is nothing. Because you are anything you want/will to be.
Yep who am I in relation to myself and others I don't like what I see when I delve into self because I can't make sense of it I feel very empty/hopeless
Loreta Lizbovska try to express as clearly as possible what is going through your mind. (Avoid saying the things you know you would say to impress others). That will help you understand who you are, even tho you probably won’t ever figure out exactly «who you are».
It's really crazy how the simplest things can be the hardest to understand or put into practice. I've struggled all my life with changing myself to fit in with others because of always being alone, but never really realizing that I am alone because I'm trying to hard to fit in where I often don't really belong. To be yourself is like making yourself into a huge magnet that attracts everything that you need, you start meeting the right people, get amazing opportunities and just makes life blissful. It's really the easiest thing anyone can do as long as you don't try to hard. It's like having a carrot on a stick, when you chase it it will only come further away from you but when you just relax and lean back it will come to you naturally. The only guide lines you really need in life is to just be yourself and to listen to your heart (especially when making important decisions!)
fr honestly. and i hate to be that one weird girl because when i see them they annoy me so much and i don’t wanna be like that but sometimes i come out to be like that
I love weird people or people who think they’re weird there’s always things to learn from people different from me that’s how I see it. I want to learn new things I don’t want to be a sheep put into a box with other like sheep who all think alike that’s not how u grow and learn.
Being shy has always been my personality since I was little. I still am super shy to where I can't speak in class. But I want to fix this but it will take time and patience. I realize that all the bulling won't really matter in the end cause things will get way better in the future.
My teacher said i was a clown to my parents, what destroyed my personality for a couple of years after that. Now im realizing how bad of a thing they said
That's the reason why i always love being alone!!!! Dont chase folks , be yourself , do your own thing and work hard , the right people who really belong in your life will come to you and stay !!!!!
It has taken me years to become comfortable in my own skin. And now, though I respond to kindness, I cannot allow anyone to take my joy. It’s been a journey but I am so grateful for my peace.
I will not only apply this principle to myself, but to my adolescent boys as well. They're in the stage of trying to fit in and I talk to them about not worrying about what others think, I wish my parents instilled this advice to me, I just worried about everything when I was younger...Thanks for sharing your wisdom
This is weird. I stopped abusing myself about 3 months ago; without realising it, I'd had such personal shame and guilt in what I did to myself, and never looked a woman in the eye, as I thought she could read my mind. Now, I feel so free that I have more energy, I'm more enthusiastic about what I do from day to day, and I have actually increased in height by about 2 inches! because I was so ashamed of myself that I kind of " stooped" when walking/ standing. I stand taller, I can look people in the eyes without blinking heavily. and I can flirt with women without caring about the outcome. I was not being true to myself as a man, but as soon as I turned it around, people kind of warmed to me, and a woman even said the other day, with a look of astonishment "Oh, what lovely eyes you've got!" The kicker is that I'm a complete dork!
Reeko Squeeze I'm happier about who I am, and can flirt with women as long as I and they know it's not going anywhere. I still don't talk to women though, as I've had years and years of being ignored by them, and not talking to them is a way to still protect myself. I'm concentrating on making myself a better more rounded person first, and hopefully gain better more rewarding employment elsewhere before I even think about women. It's pointless for me otherwise.
The Beauty of Freedom is Immeasurable The Satisfaction of Dignity is Divine You Do Not Need to be Someone You Are Not JUST you are FINE The world Needs You Because There is Only One You And Only You Can Be You, Like You Do LOVE from Cappadocia!
up untill the 3rd minute = my exact story. same! u start feeling better and everyone thinks you've lost it when you wanna help others feeling better too :)
ah yes my daily struggle wondering what people think of me, asking myself why people look at me and fear me just from my appearance... its toxic. asking myself how I can be 100 percent myself is a much better question, I'll definitely use that thanks always for your openness and honesty!
I can relate this sooo much. But the KEY here is that You had some pain before you "woke up", You needed to change something and you did and it felt amazing BUT not everyone has enough pain to make the change, They do not need to wake up. They are okay with their lives, that is why they didnt relate to you. Now as more people come to you and are asking about meditation is because they have the pain and they want to change. Remember this, People wont make change unless the pain in present moment is bigger then the pain of change. (yes, making a change is associated with pain)
and this is how business works too, You do not go push people to buy your products, You expose yourself in front of people who need your product, then they come and buy from you. (just anyone who wants to learn how to make money, remember that.. :) )
Your so right, pain motivates us to grow or make changes it is saying hey somethings not right here and it will get more painful until we listen to it. I feel happy most of the time now but still have to endure pain and problems that the universe provides as I gotta keep growing, I now see everything that happens as a lovely experience or valuable lesson and also notice my growth now after dealing with adversities. Love and light x
In my case, I changed my self to the kind of person my classmates wanted me to be, so that they would stop calling me names, gossiping fake stories, and joking about me. Honestly im a wierd, crazy person as what they call me, and I know I have no medical records of bipolar, mental issues or anything. I only changed for it to stop, and not caring about what lots of people say about me is really hard when I went to this new school. The teachers even gossips about the students here. It was like I was given a strong dose of reality after living in a bubble protecting me from all this for so long. What's worse is my parents don't believe me, and just assumes that the school they were in before is the same as the schools of today. And the only way I could get back to the kind of environment wherein the people are nice is to pay a huge tuition fee to a specific school which my parents cannot afford anymore. It just shocked me of how different the culture was, and can't believe why is having less money causing them to behave like this. Don't get me wrong not all people in my school are toxics, backstabbers, and plastics. But it would be hard to notice those kinds of people cause there are really few of them. It broke me when these people felt the need to comment saying that im insane, wierd, a special kid, and etc. I always thought being yourself is good, that time I used to watch Liza Koshy's videos, but I couldn't handle it, it was too hurtful, it felt like it wasnt worth it. Thx for taking the time to read it.
I get what you are saying. I am going through this transformation and I find people to be such surface thinkers. Lost in judging others while elevating themselves; a selfie taking, “look at me and what I did” kind-of-person. People are clueless to what their purpose is in life and aren’t interested in figuring it out. I have talked to a few “friends” that change the subject when I talk about this stuff. So I limit our conversations. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Aaron, I have to tell you that you make these concepts accessible to everyone, they are easy to understand and apply. I've bought so many books but the way you explain things is different from those books. And even though I'm still grappling with some of these things, I am so grateful that you are out there helping us. You are so wonderful.
Thank you so much for this message ! I don’t know else goes through this but I am person who loves change but i realize that sometimes in a new environment, I have to first become comfortable to start acting like myself so i’ll be shy at first and then boom ... once i’m comfortable the outgoing side of me shines through but I want to learn how to channel that authenticity about me before I get comfortable because I am not ashamed of who I am. I am very talkative and I feel so off when I’m being shy and being afraid to laugh loud and share my ideas. I am going to learn to accept myself unconditionally and be the light i’m meant to be ❤️ Again i don’t know who feels this same way to but if this resonates with you i want to first say i love your existence and second that we are all different in our own way and being yourself will allow the right opportunities and people align for yourself.
This is a very tough nut to crack for me. People already think i'm weird and crazy enough even though i'm repressing myself. Thanks for the video at any rate, it's still a bit encouraging.
Hi! I've been through the same thing and can relate. I think and notice something called that law of state transference. This means people feel how I feel about myself underneath my words. What I did was start to accept who I am without putting labels on myself. Then I would focus on expression rather than impression. It worked wonders. I also reframed "weird" as being more of a positive thing because the conditioned meaning is a loaded word. Much love!
Aaron Doughty Thank you for the support ! Hmmm yes... the state of transferance seems to influence it a lot. I'll try to focus on making an extra effort on being loving to myself and focusing rather on expression than impression. Thanks man.
For me, now I understand that do not try to fit into a crowd that was never meant for me in the first place but trapped me into an identity that’s not me and doesn’t serve. I just gotta be myself.
I noticed when I feel resistance and stuck in my thinking, it’s only because I’m not being 100% myself. The key is simply to be myself 100% and not try to fit in to what I think others want of me. Who cares what others think? What I think about myself matters more.
I appreciate your perspective - being one's self is what life is all about! I actually define who I am in the last video on my channel - I encourage everyone to do something similar: Define WHO YOU ARE, and then stay committed to stay true to yourself no matter what.
Aaron! Thank you soo much for this video. I relate 100% to your story on your spiritual awakening at the beginning of the video and have been struggling so much with being authentic to myself in front of others since then. This helped a lot :) Sending you so much love!!
Okay, I’m just totally motivated to do this today, it’s morning and I’m going to school right now. Thank You, maybe it’ll help me realize who I really am?
Thank you bro, you explain very clearly and give concrete applicable examples. It's been 2 weeks I watch your videos and I think you're giving us a concentration of really valuable content to help express ourselves and be and feel complete. I've been through a breakup that triggered a complete questioning of who I am and what do I am supposed to do in this world... You are helping me to fond my north. You are amazing Aaron. Thank you.
I have literally been smiling the entire video. And yes I watch these videos because you are you and I can totally resonate with all of what you're saying.
Man, i love what you're doing here dude, keep it up. I've heard similar things before, however you have a certain clarity about the way you explain things making it much easier to digest and understand, and easier to pick up and apply.
Thank you! I may turn the direction of the channel into the direction of "making complex ideas simple" type focus. I've heard that from other people too and it seems to be a way I can add value. Almost like taking ideas understanding metaphysics, etc and making them simple and practical to apply. Let me know what you think. Thank you and Much Love!
I had an “awakening” (awareness shift... personality change, whatever you want to call it) in 2012 as well. My family also said of me “you’ve changed!” (My closest loved ones were happy for me, and most of the other people I knew thought I had just become completely bizarre. Haha oh well! 🙃) but I’ve subbed because of how useful your info is and how transparent you are about your thoughts. One of the things holding me back from doing what I really want and expressing myself is the fear that people will disagree with me. Well, I realize I can’t escape it and should just be myself without apology but also without being rude about it. Thanks for putting yourself out there, these videos are making a difference.
Thanks for sharing your ideas here! The most important thing that we can do is being ourselves. Nothing is more meaninful and powerful that this. Discovering our own purpose is a very exciting travel to undertake to shine as our actual spiritual essence: Just pure consciouness illuminathing everywhere. But, it's so important to be aware of the fact that all human beings are unique pieces of the "cosmic carpet" that being together build endless possibilities for humankind, what means evolution world wide. Blessings and keep going bro!
You have a way or should I say a gift with explaining and getting the point across. Your body language keeps me drawn in and all my attention. It's crazy! where'd u learn to do that with your eyes and leaning towards the camera? It's memorizing!
Aaron, thanks! I was need to listen this for myself. I was a person that constantly want to being liked by others. The things that I wear till what I say and act. so others like me. huh.. but thats not realistic. Although I knew this i just not realized yet. So, i act not like myself, but more pleasure other people. Hmm.. the more I get older, maybe wiser. I try to figure myself out, to be myself. And be just be me, to take a part of this world. Maybe I will be great things. Because I want. Just thanks for inspiring me :)
I really love your videos, they're very authentic. You word things into easy to understand context. Break it down one challenge at a time. I thoroughly enjoy listening to you.
I have been so enlightened by you, thank you so much for sharing your words with the world. I was so lost and confused before I found you. You are such a beautiful soul 💜
Hi Aaron. Thank you for this video. I guess I have (to a degree) figured some of this out.... but I always felt I was different, but was not proud of it...and although I thought it was unfair, I adapted to it.... throughout my life. I am very content being alone, I like to work around my house. I have many good friends and family, but I don't let anyone influence what I choose to do in life. I don't like to drink alcohol and party or travel too much. I am a spiritual guy. I don't do drugs or mind anyone else's business and I am not into social media. Pretty different huh?? I have a lot of peace and contentment in my soul but I am not overly happy just okay with the world and myself. I recently retired very well off at 55 years old. And I often like to do things alone or my way but when I'm with friends I let everyone make the decisions in order to be flexible, and because I really don't care....Just being with them is nice. I am well liked and easy to get along with. I technically would be a homosexual but I never became gay or acted on it. My father was a great man also like your dad but neglected me, and I blamed him for many years for being a homosexual and different....and that he ruined me. I did not want to ever live as a gay man. Through counseling I forgave him and my life got so much better but I never listen to any of my friends and I never acted on being gay because I did not want to. Thanks for your videos Bro.
Thank you, I think this is just what I needed. What you said at the end especially resonated with me. . I'm going to do my best to express myself, I want to be happier
I listen to you every day 💯😘 and each video has a message that totally relates to me. And understanding who I am more and more makes sense to alit of things that has happened to me. I am an empath as well and wasn't sure if I should open my heart chakra more but I do the meditations and it feels right
Whenever I be myself people insult me and give negative comments, I have my own TH-cam channel and people who said they are my friends are mocking me and treating me badly, when I feel they should mind their own business
Thank you! I’m sure it was difficult especially in Vegas. I had a rough time there when I was changing my consciousness in 1999. It was different then. Thank you for staying true and making this video✨🙏 namaste
I used to be so insecure about everyone looking at me or my tail when I wore it in public because I’m a therian, so I began to wear a bandana around my face. At this point in time, you have helped me a lot. I don’t need that bandana anymore and I can be happy. Thank you for that. :)
thank you for this message Aaron I'm actually going through your playlist everything seems to resonate with me and I really like that I'm a Pisces my birthday was yesterday and I always knew I was different unique and special and people you still say oh Dana you're weird but weird in a good way and I would say thank you because that was a compliment it wasn't coming from a negative or bad place I've helped a lot of people and as you know I've been dealing with health issues and now I have a life coach and a health coach and I have people like you that I listen to on a regular basis on TH-cam thank you for sharing and keep the messages coming even the older ones are really great you're very knowledgeable and I appreciate you for sharing all of this one day I plan to do the same as soon as I can get my health back in alignment talk soon
You are so amazing! My husband and son both have so-called ADD. I want to share your videos with them too. You are sooooo inspiring by just being yourself! I love, love, love your videos! I learn so much from you and I am old (56 years) ... never too old to learn though.
Nice one, i,m finding my way, after all these thoughts are not part of my devine self, the only thoughts my consciousness should entertain are the ones that serves humanity as a whole. thank you Aaron. Much Love my brother. On this foggy road you remain a lantern, lighting our paths along the way, I sometimes think there's so much still to say, But heyy, We will let our creator pick that day. Don't know where those words (poem) came from, i just felt like saying it as i was typing. I only changed THE day to THAT day.
The biggest prison is our own minds, the worry what other people think or say, they're the ones asleep, so we should count ourselves lucky we've woken, it's a long road butt keep on going
I'm kinda struggling with the feeling of acceptance around my old friends and family, I feel alone in my life. I just want someone that I can relate to and that understands my way of thinking. The crazy thing is I used to have tons of people that liked me before my awakening I was one of the popular kids in school, then I kinda separated myself to find my true self and now I feel like people just think I'm a wired loner. It hurts and I just wanna not care
Aaron, when I did this - about a year or so ago - I felt total FREEDOM from within! What an AWESOME felling it is to be your AUTHENTIC SELF and not give a damn what other people think of you. I actually had a person tell me that I was "a pretentious bitch" for saying NAMASTE. I had to laugh and just say, "We each have our own opinions and you are entitled to yours." NAMASTE, Aaron!
We must realize that other peoples opinions of ourselves or our dreams… Does not matter… Everyone is entitled to their opinion… We must be who we are, we don't need validation from others..... 🙋🏻🙌🏻✨😁✨😎✌🏻
Dude, you remind me of somebody I know!! Perhaps we had high school together!! ;) Anyway, I just came upon your channel and I'm loving your insight my man. As I write this right now you JUST mentioned your having quit adderall. I'm turning that exact (opposite to the Tao) page in my life as we speak...serendipity huh? ;) I just went 9 days on the clean from the hard and heavies and relapsed a bit a cpl days ago to some of those old behavior patterns. But it's all learning and growth, is it not?! Anyway bro, stay light!! Namaste strong, B
Thank you so much I and very shy and I don’t know why I’m normally outgoing I’m crying right now because I hate my hair I hope this helps and thank you for making this
This is exactly the same idea I «stole» from Jordan Peterson, only articulated differently. I can tell you discovered this through personal experience. Great Video
its hard to be yourself when you are not sure who you really are (what kind of person you are) ;(
You are WHATEVER you will to be. You don’t have to compartmentalize yourself into categories. Seek new experiences that benefit you. Seek new places. Do different things you have not thought before. Ask yourself how you feel when you experience new things. Your self is nothing. Because you are anything you want/will to be.
Yeah😓
Yep who am I in relation to myself and others I don't like what I see when I delve into self because I can't make sense of it I feel very empty/hopeless

Loreta :( true..
Other people's opinions do not define us. Once you realize and accept we are all flawed and human what others think of you is irrelevant.
So true!!
I don’t know wether I’ll ever realize that.

hi natalya i can help you with this

Great way to do that! Much Love!
But... you didn't...

Well said! 🙌🏻
So it means im numbing myself?or not proceesing emotions
Omg I'm crying! I really needed this. Thank you so much.
I use to love making people laugh, then first love happened, never been the same since and never dated again, that was 17yrs ago... unreal

Aaron Doughty Thank you for the support !
Hmmm yes... the state of transferance seems to influence it a lot.
I'll try to focus on making an extra effort on being loving to myself and focusing rather on expression than impression.
Thanks man.
Soul Spark if people think u weird n crazy who cares
@@soulspark3970 howd it go
this is where affirmations come in, if any one is watching, do it daily!!
I am appreciative for your presence in my inner landscape
For me, now I understand that do not try to fit into a crowd that was never meant for me in the first place but trapped me into an identity that’s not me and doesn’t serve. I just gotta be myself.
Being yourself is the best thing .
I noticed when I feel resistance and stuck in my thinking, it’s only because I’m not being 100% myself. The key is simply to be myself 100% and not try to fit in to what I think others want of me. Who cares what others think? What I think about myself matters more.
I appreciate your perspective - being one's self is what life is all about! I actually define who I am in the last video on my channel - I encourage everyone to do something similar: Define WHO YOU ARE, and then stay committed to stay true to yourself no matter what.
For me, it's gaining a better appreciation for myself and being myself 100% over when it's convenient to me.
Aaron! Thank you soo much for this video. I relate 100% to your story on your spiritual awakening at the beginning of the video and have been struggling so much with being authentic to myself in front of others since then. This helped a lot :) Sending you so much love!!
Hi Aiko! Much love back at ya! happy to hear that! :)
Okay, I’m just totally motivated to do this today, it’s morning and I’m going to school right now. Thank You, maybe it’ll help me realize who I really am?
Thank you bro, you explain very clearly and give concrete applicable examples. It's been 2 weeks I watch your videos and I think you're giving us a concentration of really valuable content to help express ourselves and be and feel complete. I've been through a breakup that triggered a complete questioning of who I am and what do I am supposed to do in this world... You are helping me to fond my north. You are amazing Aaron. Thank you.
I have literally been smiling the entire video. And yes I watch these videos because you are you and I can totally resonate with all of what you're saying.
arhhhh. we are both on this journey.. spirituality. sending love & meditation. much love and feeling the passion. 💯
Much love always!
I have adhd and I get this weird feeling that I’m excited talking to someone I don’t even like but am hooked to them
and yeah i did enjoy it. what a pretty motivational words! thanks and keep going
Man, i love what you're doing here dude, keep it up.
I've heard similar things before, however you have a certain clarity about the way you explain things making it much easier to digest and understand, and easier to pick up and apply.
Thank you! I may turn the direction of the channel into the direction of "making complex ideas simple" type focus. I've heard that from other people too and it seems to be a way I can add value. Almost like taking ideas understanding metaphysics, etc and making them simple and practical to apply. Let me know what you think. Thank you and Much Love!
I had an “awakening” (awareness shift... personality change, whatever you want to call it) in 2012 as well. My family also said of me “you’ve changed!” (My closest loved ones were happy for me, and most of the other people I knew thought I had just become completely bizarre. Haha oh well! 🙃) but I’ve subbed because of how useful your info is and how transparent you are about your thoughts. One of the things holding me back from doing what I really want and expressing myself is the fear that people will disagree with me. Well, I realize I can’t escape it and should just be myself without apology but also without being rude about it. Thanks for putting yourself out there, these videos are making a difference.
Thanks for sharing your ideas here!
The most important thing that we can do is being ourselves. Nothing is more meaninful and powerful that this. Discovering our own purpose is a very exciting travel to undertake to shine as our actual spiritual essence: Just pure consciouness illuminathing everywhere.
But, it's so important to be aware of the fact that all human beings are unique pieces of the "cosmic carpet" that being together build endless possibilities for humankind, what means evolution world wide.
Blessings and keep going bro!
Thanks Gustavo! I like that analogy! Much Love!
Gustavo how are you being youself
Aaron Doughty . how are you being yoirself
Aaron Doughty 😍😍
@@chichelvega4615 😍😍
You have a way or should I say a gift with explaining and getting the point across. Your body language keeps me drawn in and all my attention. It's crazy! where'd u learn to do that with your eyes and leaning towards the camera? It's memorizing!
Mind blown. Great job Aaron. We need more people reminding us of this concept.
Awesome video Aaron. I am so thankful to you. This is pure gold. PURE GOLD!
Aaron, thanks!
I was need to listen this for myself.
I was a person that constantly want to being liked by others. The things that I wear till what I say and act. so others like me. huh.. but thats not realistic. Although I knew this i just not realized yet.
So, i act not like myself, but more pleasure other people. Hmm.. the more I get older, maybe wiser. I try to figure myself out, to be myself. And be just be me, to take a part of this world.
Maybe I will be great things. Because I want. Just thanks for inspiring me :)
ha i definitely feel different from my friends since i started my spiritual path and it feels special indeed! thnx for you're video's!
I really love your videos, they're very authentic. You word things into easy to understand context. Break it down one challenge at a time. I thoroughly enjoy listening to you.
I have been so enlightened by you, thank you so much for sharing your words with the world. I was so lost and confused before I found you. You are such a beautiful soul 💜
You are fantastic! You have totally changed my life. I subscribed right when I saw one video. Thank you so much!
Im glad i found your page. I was having a bad time at the moment and this literally made my day. Thank you 🤗
Thanks for changing my mindset family
I have struggled with this for so long. Feels like a sort of awkwardness, a science of not belonging. I still need so much help. Thanks for the video.
Hi Aaron. Thank you for this video. I guess I have (to a degree) figured some of this out.... but I always felt I was different, but was not proud of it...and although I thought it was unfair, I adapted to it.... throughout my life.
I am very content being alone, I like to work around my house. I have many good friends and family, but I don't let anyone influence what I choose to do in life. I don't like to drink alcohol and party or travel too much. I am a spiritual guy. I don't do drugs or mind anyone else's business and I am not into social media. Pretty different huh?? I have a lot of peace and contentment in my soul but I am not overly happy just okay with the world and myself. I recently retired very well off at 55 years old. And I often like to do things alone or my way but when I'm with friends I let everyone make the decisions in order to be flexible, and because I really don't care....Just being with them is nice. I am well liked and easy to get along with. I technically would be a homosexual but I never became gay or acted on it. My father was a great man also like your dad but neglected me, and I blamed him for many years for being a homosexual and different....and that he ruined me. I did not want to ever live as a gay man. Through counseling I forgave him and my life got so much better but I never listen to any of my friends and I never acted on being gay because I did not want to.
Thanks for your videos Bro.
I create my reality based on my thoughts, emotions, and actions.
Totally identify with you Aaron ! It is a beautiful thing to be awakened and alive! Much love
I agree 100% Tiffany! Much Love!
You are not crazy I’m going thru my spiritual awakening and I believe we are immortal living beings
I love Spiritually...Buddy so Much And Your Speech Is Enlightening..❤️💯
Immortal spiritual beings having temporary human experience.. How beautifully said :)
Thank you, I think this is just what I needed. What you said at the end especially resonated with me. . I'm going to do my best to express myself, I want to be happier
Every word of this video is pure gem.. Thanks...
I listen to you every day 💯😘 and each video has a message that totally relates to me. And understanding who I am more and more makes sense to alit of things that has happened to me. I am an empath as well and wasn't sure if I should open my heart chakra more but I do the meditations and it feels right
Whenever I be myself people insult me and give negative comments, I have my own TH-cam channel and people who said they are my friends are mocking me and treating me badly, when I feel they should mind their own business
Thank you! I’m sure it was difficult especially in Vegas. I had a rough time there when I was changing my consciousness in 1999. It was different then. Thank you for staying true and making this video✨🙏 namaste
I used to be so insecure about everyone looking at me or my tail when I wore it in public because I’m a therian, so I began to wear a bandana around my face. At this point in time, you have helped me a lot. I don’t need that bandana anymore and I can be happy. Thank you for that. :)
thank you for this message Aaron I'm actually going through your playlist everything seems to resonate with me and I really like that I'm a Pisces my birthday was yesterday and I always knew I was different unique and special and people you still say oh Dana you're weird but weird in a good way and I would say thank you because that was a compliment it wasn't coming from a negative or bad place I've helped a lot of people and as you know I've been dealing with health issues and now I have a life coach and a health coach and I have people like you that I listen to on a regular basis on TH-cam thank you for sharing and keep the messages coming even the older ones are really great you're very knowledgeable and I appreciate you for sharing all of this one day I plan to do the same as soon as I can get my health back in alignment talk soon
You are so amazing! My husband and son both have so-called ADD. I want to share your videos with them too. You are sooooo inspiring by just being yourself! I love, love, love your videos! I learn so much from you and I am old (56 years) ... never too old to learn though.
Say yourself your beautiful, worthy and precious daily
Nice one, i,m finding my way, after all these thoughts are not part of my devine self, the only thoughts my consciousness should entertain are the ones that serves humanity as a whole. thank you Aaron. Much Love my brother.
On this foggy road you remain a lantern, lighting our paths along the way,
I sometimes think there's so much still to say,
But heyy,
We will let our creator pick that day.
Don't know where those words (poem) came from, i just felt like saying it as i was typing. I only changed THE day to THAT day.
Thank you so much Aaron. You are so helpful. =) indeed everyone is unique and that makes life interesting and amazing.
Your mind is just brilliant, you are so inspiring. Thank you.
Beautifully said👏👏👏
Love it. So much power in being genuine
To be myself i just say in my head-
'F*** what them other people think imma do it anyway.'
The biggest prison is our own minds, the worry what other people think or say, they're the ones asleep, so we should count ourselves lucky we've woken, it's a long road butt keep on going
thank you so much for this video!! i couldnt agree more with all tht has been said!! youre the best!!!
Fly above
2019 is your year
To be you
To be the person God made you to be
Be fearless
In the testing, in the waiting
Be strong
Hold on.
Have fun
Grace Marie thanks a lot
Thank u 😞😞😞I feel better now,
It feels like there is a blockade, and I literally can't be myself around others.
I'm kinda struggling with the feeling of acceptance around my old friends and family, I feel alone in my life. I just want someone that I can relate to and that understands my way of thinking. The crazy thing is I used to have tons of people that liked me before my awakening I was one of the popular kids in school, then I kinda separated myself to find my true self and now I feel like people just think I'm a wired loner. It hurts and I just wanna not care
I’m always judged and hurt and get bullied and I’m shy and I don’t show who I really am..:( it’s hard so I lie from being myself and my own look..
Aaron, when I did this - about a year or so ago - I felt total FREEDOM from within!
What an AWESOME felling it is to be your AUTHENTIC SELF and not give a damn what other people think of you.
I actually had a person tell me that I was "a pretentious bitch" for saying NAMASTE. I had to laugh and just say, "We each have our own opinions and you are entitled to yours."
NAMASTE, Aaron!
I really need this. Thanku Aaron 👍
and you definitely have a very good way of putting things thanks for the video
Rock solid information great video I'm going to ask myself different questions when I'm around others
We must realize that other peoples opinions of ourselves or our dreams… Does not matter… Everyone is entitled to their opinion… We must be who we are, we don't need validation from others..... 🙋🏻🙌🏻✨😁✨😎✌🏻
Omg I needed this sooo bad
Dude, you remind me of somebody I know!! Perhaps we had high school together!! ;) Anyway, I just came upon your channel and I'm loving your insight my man. As I write this right now you JUST mentioned your having quit adderall. I'm turning that exact (opposite to the Tao) page in my life as we speak...serendipity huh? ;) I just went 9 days on the clean from the hard and heavies and relapsed a bit a cpl days ago to some of those old behavior patterns. But it's all learning and growth, is it not?! Anyway bro, stay light!! Namaste strong, B
This helped me a lot with my depression. I thank you so much!
You are so insightful!!!! I do this!!!
Thank you, you're helping me so much glad I found you
Al these videos are totally about all the things my anxiety effects me
You have touched a part of my spirit I didn’t know I had thank you - namaste
Thank you for this message.. I really needed this today ❤️
Thank you so much I and very shy and I don’t know why I’m normally outgoing I’m crying right now because I hate my hair I hope this helps and thank you for making this
This really helped me a lot
Thank you 😊, I so needed this, .... Love and peace ✌️
This is exactly the same idea I «stole» from Jordan Peterson, only articulated differently. I can tell you discovered this through personal experience. Great Video
