Just a question, what is your why? I spoke a bit about finding your why in the last part but establishing this is soooo important!🙏🏼 hope you guys are enjoying the videos 💪🏼❤️
to me, I feel as though there is none. I've been struggling with severe depression for years, and gave up often. I despise myself, yet I find myself striving for the better again. I will give it my all, regardless of my self-hatred and lack of "why".
My why is I want to be a better man for my future wife & family (I'm single but I'm not gonna wait to be better) that having to take risks that I'm anxious about, controlling lust, being in shape, & being a man of God
A book that changed my life in ways that I never could imagine is "Secret Testosterone Nexus of Evolution".Drop whatever you're doing right now and go find that book. Trust me after I implemented things from the book my testosterone levels went beast mode
I’m currently 19 homeless in Canada. I just became homeless a few days ago and I’m couch surfing at my friends. I really hope I can change my life by the end of this year. I will keep you guys updated. This will be a source of motivation for me.
Doing a reset on my life was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I simplified everything diet, routine, and mindset. I picked it all up from the book called Unveiling Your Hidden Potential
Same here, I thought it was just another corny challenge for "sigmas" until I saw the only person I would trust to give me advice on the internet post a video like this.
Not even a minute and i m here Bro you really got me into fitness I couldn't jog 100 m without collapsing You inspired me to work on myself (Edit I can jog 300-400m now without feeling weak Edit my why is i wanted to get stronger so i can help my aging parents To get 30kg of rice upstairs To help mom with house tasks ) Don't know if you would see this but Thanks buddy
Guys, when I was 39 2 years ago, I was 320lbs, miserable. My wife is a unicorn and she deserved better. My kids deserved better. I set myself to just walking and controlling my diet. That grew into cycling and lifting. Today, I've lost 100lbs. I feel incredible. My fitness and cardio are off my charts (I cycle 60-100mi per week, often at very high intensity levels). My lifting arc started about 6 months ago and I'm going hard now. I say all this because at 41, I'm experiencing a full renaissance in life. I can do anything with my kids. My wife is enjoying an energy Ive almost never had. Our intimacy has increased 10x and so has my stamina (cardio FTW). Everything is better. I write this because I had all of this in 14 months. I lost the 100 in 14mon. I've maintained since then. But I am now going for 185-190, as I have never seen my abs. And I want my wife to see me and gasp, just once. I started this at 39. I feel like I'm 25 again (minus the joint cracks, but no pain yet). Don't wait. Just start. Start walking. Start eating half the portions you used to. Just start.
Did my first ever truly consistent cut for the past 8 months, and I don't even recognize myself anymore. Now, the winter arc bulk is on, STARTING TODAY!
Yesterday night a lot happened in my house. I finally realized all the suffering around me and I kept thinking about it all night. Today I opened TH-cam to find this video in my recommendation section. Thank you for this and everything. I think this is what I wanted to hear and now I think I am ready to start my Winter Arc. Thank you once again Noel.

i really want to say: thank you, truly, with all my heart! i've a good job, a cozy home. but my mental health was not in a good place. i was isolated, feeling lonely, desperate, unhealthy, far away from family, no relationships or someone I value in my life... money was only fuel of my mindset. i've built my "why" for last 2 months. i started to change slowly, after 2 months my entire life and mindset is in a different and better position. now, I lost 30lbs, eating clean, physically/mentally active and healthy. i knew that i needed to change, but I didn't have the courage. 2 months ago, when youtube algorithm somehow decided to show Noel to me, i've finally found the courage I need.
Watching this video made me realize something. I can do this. I can make it if I truly try and stick with it. Sure, I may fall and stumble, but I always will get back up and fight again. Everyone can make it. Don't give up on you before you even try with everything you have for the first time.
I get married in two weeks. I'm 19 years old. Working my butt off. But I'm "too tired to go to the gym". I value my time so much, that part of the reason why I'm getting married so young and am starting my life with my wonderful wife. I save and invest wisely, but I don't invest in my health enough. I used to (mountain biking, 100+ mile hiking trips, multi pitch outdoor rock climbing over days) so I know what I'm doing, but I let my laziness win over and over again. I'm working hard, my "Why" is to be a good steward of my body and keep myself healthy for my future family. I can't forget it. ❤
I had the drive and passion to go back to school and get my EMT, I still have that passion for work in the healthcare field. However when it comes to working out I don't quite have the same drive for it as I used to. But thanks to your videos I'll continue to find more and more meaning so I can be the best version of myself. Whether you read this or not Noel, Thank you very much for the words of wisdom and the kindness you espouse in your videos!!
Hello Noel, I lost 23 kg since january of this year and still trying my hardest every single day, and your videos, your passion, everything about your person inspires me to be a better person. Im not looking to radically reinvent myself, fairytail dont exist, but what does exist is consistence and dedication, these two things are the only way to strive and be a better person of what you were yesterday. Love you Noel
"Ask why you want it and you will feel it on your soul when you find your why". Damn why is that the most perfect line? Thank you, I know this is pertaining mostly to fitness but I've been trying to get another potentially life changing thing under my belt for a while, and this really set things into perspective for me.
I have a daughter due in December. Everything I do is for her. Getting into shape to be able to protect her. Being more stable to prevent a traumatic childhood. I need this video. I want change and my family deserves me to be the man I need to be on top of the man I want to be.
I always find myself watching these videos and always gain motivation but it’s always like when I wake up the next morning all of that motivation is gone and I would just end up going back to my old ways and I can’t find a way to motivate myself anymore which is why I’m stuck in a infinite loop
Set realistic goals and tackle one at a time is what has helped me. Step one was to track every thing I ate no matter what and if I couldn’t accurately track it I didn’t eat it(anything without semi accurate nutrition info) This has allowed me to be more conscious of what I’m eating. It’s important to only track not change build a habit one at a time and you will find that others will come easier.
Hey man, Im a young lad struggling more and more every day to keep myself motivated. Your videos are such a gem to watch every day - you're such a down-to-earth guy, and you just sit down and talk to us like we're there in person with you. Thank you for much for making these videos, they really do help.
if you try to squeeze motivation out of everything, you'll run out of it someday. we are humans, we are not programmed to have motivation to do anything at any given time. what we have instead is discipline, meaning: do the thing, no matter however gruesome it feels. just do it
I did this exact same thing this year. Stuck in life because I didn't have the motivation to fully become what I wanted to do. I'm still on the progress of it but it's in the right track. I was able to pass the physical of what was required. Last year I was 250s lbs and now I'm at 190s lbs. I'm starting a slow bulk since I'm there physically where I want to be
I've been through a lot mental drama for last 2 months, and now I have been stripped off from all my friends. Thank you Noel, I will make it to the top one day ❤
I needed this Noel more than you know. The this year I’ve lost family and friends and have let myself go physically and mentally. I’ve rewatched this 5 times and it’s giving me what I need to start changing my life. Thank you from Canada.
I started running in 2021 and am hooked. I moved to Oregon in 2023 and joined a women's running and walking program that got me connected with so many friends. I went from struggling to run 3 miles after I moved to Oregon due to slacking in my running to completing 4 half-marathons this year. My sights are set on a full-marathon on June 1, 2025 so that I can say "yeah, I've done that." My goal this winter is to improve my speed and get in the habit of strength training regularly. I this summer I did strength training sporadically as I'd often develop calf pain after. Turned out, it was weak soleus muscles. I have found a program that inspires me to strength train twice a week to build the consistency and habit. My full-marathon training plan starts in January. Rain or shine, I'm running through the winter, and if it snows, I have YakTrax.
Damn, man! Today I lost a patient. I’m a paramedic, and we were called to a 70-year-old unresponsive man. We provided advanced life support, performed CPR, but we lost him. This isn’t that hard. We do this a lot. If we’ve done everything we could, our soul is at peace, even if the patient passes away. But this one… His wife was there, and she only realized she had lost her husband when his lifeless body was lying in her arms. She kept repeating that she thought they’d have more time. We never have enough time. We can never know how much time we have. That’s why it’s important to live as if it could end at any moment. To love like today is the last day, because one day it will be. Maybe today, maybe in 10 years. Memento mori.
Thank you Noel. I truly needed this right now in my life. Lately I've been cutting, working out, and doing pretty much anything I want to do. There's just one thing, I still feel like i don't have anything in my life. I'm grateful for the things I have like this phone, 3 meals a day, friends, a roof over my head, ect. But I just feel empty. And I think anyone can help me, I think it'll be you. I've sat down with a peice of paper and wrote down why I'm doing the things I do, and don't get me wrong, I'm still grinding hard to get what I want, but I don't feel like I have anything. It's almost like an empty feeling inside. I just don't know what to do. Please help 🙏
I am a first year med student and I have been struggling to get focused, manage my time and work out in the same time. I am ashamed to say that I’ve been slacking. TH-cam has been a big distraction for me and a time consuming factor. I’ve spent countless hours mindlessly scrolling shorts or watching nonsense when I could (and should) have been studying or working out. I have stumbled upon this video and I have decided to delete TH-cam from my phone. Thank you Daddy Noel. I now understand why everybody calls you that. I’ll still be watching you from time to time.
As a kid, I've always wanted to start a TH-cam channel, but I've always been conscious of how others perceive me. This video inspired me to start. Thank you, Noel!
Going through a really rough patch right now and despite being a strong person I feel giving up on living anymore, your videos are very calming and give me a lot of hope Atm I’m tired and all the progress I made so far is down the drain because of my mental health. I hope things get better for me and I hope I don’t give up, thanks noel !
You will get through them. It'll take time but with each day giving you a fresher start will make you to keep on going. We all go through so much, If you can survive today, you can survive the rest of it. There will be hope. You will lose a lot but you can always regain a lot more. Noel's Video is a great way to make yourself push through your hard times.
@@ZyCreatez hey brother, just wanted to appreciate you with all my heart for commenting this I was going through a very tough phase this past week it’s been incredibly hard but it gives me hope to know that there are good people like you out there thanks for these kind words, God bless you ! ♥️ P.s. if you ever need any help, support or someone to talk to you’ve got a friend in me I’d like to return the favour

Keep on going and push through them and i appreciate you too. You’re welcome and Don’t lose hope and have faith in yourself. God bless you too ❤️
@@ZyCreatez thanks man, I’m just trying to work hard be strong , trying to survive , thanks for these words and thanks for motivating me, it means a lot to me. I wish you the best this helped me a lot. May you be blessed in abundance 🙏🏽❤️
@@zyzz4786 you’re welcome man, anything to help you out and you’ll get stronger each day and with time, you’ll be in that position. Let god lead your way and god bless you as well 🙏
My career is finally beginning to take off, but it all feels so fragile. Constant improvement and planning seems to help. I see building resiliency as the only way I can navigate setbacks and even victories. To any one out there, struggling, just don’t quit, you are more resourceful and stronger than you think.
I suggest reading a book 'Bruce Thornwood: Unveiling Your Hidden Potential' if you want to know how to man up. Just follow everything writer suggests in there, it's one of the best reads I had in a while.
For anyone wondering about getting this book this comment is parting of a marketing campaign to get you to buy the book it’s a scam all with bot likes.
The last quote hits so hard. I know my goal, and I promise I'll stick to it. I'll look back at myself at the end of the year with pride.:) One goal would be to minimize my insecurities and comparison to others, and some negative thought patterns that have taken root, but I know I'm gettin there! Here's to an amazing winter arc everyone, much love!
After getting the motivation we have to keep the discipline otherwise it will again build up the same situation where we were stucked. Without the motivation discipline cannot be started and without the discipline the value of motivation will be never defined.
I love it. My winter arc is usually trying to stay comfortable but i think my why this year is enough to continue my 1.5 hour walk/runs and climbing gym visits 3 times a week.
I don't know if I have body dismorphia, but since the start of my teen years, I haven't been proud of or even comfortable in my own body. I was a skinny kid, then a fat 11-13 y/o, now a skinny 15 y/o. I've tried changing in the past, but procrastination and a lack of patience always ruins my consistency. I want to do better this time. I plan on doing better this time. I will try my best to be better this time. Thanks for the motivation boost. I'm cheering on everyone who wants to do better this time. We can all do it.
This isn't just a motivational video, this is truth. I am 25 years old, and although I feel like I'm on the right path... I'm scared of getting older. Your hour glass example is something I never considered or ever thought of. This video almost brought me to tears, thank you Noel... This truly has changed my perspective for the better 🥹
i love being the friend or family member who's asked to lift heavy things or do hard task simply because others don't have the strength. my strength makes me feel important and i love helping people it might be silly or an immature reason but i love people being able to rely on me for my strength.
It’s called Freestyle Libre. It’s a sensor used to measure your blood sugar levels. Diabetics usually use these. Or in this case people who want to track how their bodies react to certain types of carbs or different food in general.
Noel, I want to thank you for being the father figure so many people want and need and for always wanting us to become a better version of ourselves. Keep doing what your doing!💪🏽
Viktor E. Frankl's "Man's search for meaning" helped me not finding the answer right away for that particular "why" but to ask myself constantly about the actions I take on the journey. The deed you take should incorporate the meaning that you are seeking. When you come to a milestone in your life that will make you question your existence remember that it's not you who is asking but rather who is asked and with that in mind also remember (as Nietzsche would say): "He who has a why to live can bear almost any how".
Noel is a true friend/role model. Its really nice cuz, yes i have people helping me, guide me. But Noel kmows what yo say. Your words of motivation helps alot of people, your a dad for all the people who grew up without a dad. Im grateful.
It's all about our decisions and what we do. Discipline is about making decisions that are aligned with our intentions. Inspiration may get us started, but it's the habit that keeps us going. Habits stay with us even when we don’t have the inspiration. All of it I grabbed from the book Unveiling Your Hidden Potential
U r the big brother, I could ever ask for . May god bless u man and make u live long , so that u can keep making these insightful videos Noel ,from yours lovingly little bro . I wish I could just hug u . Love u from my heart .
i had Zyzz or inspiration when i was a teenager, Now i have Daddy Noel for motivation as a man, God bless to both for helping so many people improve their lives,
when i heard the song “don’t look back in anger,” by oasis, my life changed, bro. i’m currently in my junior year of high school and i’m incredibly proud of how i’m leading myself and accomplishing things. i have a 4.66 gpa and i’m captain of two 18-year-old volleyball teams as a 16 year old. in currently working with my administration and planning the production of murals across my school in order to project the student voice and the visualization of the teenage student mental health degradation. i love my life so much, and i’m looking forward in pride, not back in anger. that last sentence you said, noel, influences my life perfectly. we got this bro!!!💪💪💪
I've heard negative things about you Noel, but you've been nothing but a role model for me my whole life. You are such a humble man and the most selfless steroid user in the world. I don't care what you choose to do with your body, I don't care about these stupid allegations, but I thank you for helping all of us through our live. I got your back, love you brother.
This man is pure kindness... Wish i could sto being a pieve of crap and lose weight, but hey i gotta "study hard"... Keep going Noel you have the great gift of natural kindness
Gave me chills man, always giving good advice. I had my best friend at 22 pass away of stage 4 brain cancer, i think about him every day hoping to see him again. but i know he's lookin up above.My why is him because he always had big ambitions and wanting to make the most out of life for himself and for me but he never had the opportunity too. Every day i hope to become successful not just for myself but for a brother i lost.
I’ve been in the gym relatively consistently, but this video has helped me decide I’m changing other aspects of my life. Noel helped me start the lifting journey, and now he’s helped me start my academic and social life grind.
Been working out and staying on top of my college work. It’s exhausting but at the same time I’ve never felt better. I can’t wait for the winter when I can fully devote myself to getting in shape.
You are literally my gym therapist. Thanks Noel for all the work you put into your channel, I’m really being consistent in the gym and noticing lots of gains! I’ll continue to stay motivated using this video.
Your words are so inspiring and motivational, they can truly change someone's life. Thanks Noel, for being here for us. We need more people like you in this planet 🥺
I was fat i was 100kgs i watched your video 2 months ago and started going to gym now i am 90kg Thanks for motivating me daddy Noel love from india ❤❤❤
I was trying hard in the past few years to change but couldn't succeed . Hope i will change from now own. And thanks dad for the motivation i promise you i will change .lets grind together brothers and sisters.
Hey Noel. I come from a horrible 2024 so far, from chronic health issues, lost jobs, left countries, and ended relationships I thought they were the one. I wanted to thank you for this video. It is difficult to rebound, and even more to find a why for me at this time, but I don't wish to give up, rather living day by day. I try to become more compassionate with myself, take care of my issues, move on, and improve, so I never face such time again. I usually go to motivational videos on my down days such as today to pump me back up and this is one of them. Your story is inspiring. We all appreciate you. Take care and keep up your awesome work!
Sometimes i feel all that we need is a little push and you fit that role perfectly. Noel your videos have truly proved to be an inspiration for all of us and I really want you to keep up all the outstanding work that you do!
Hi Noel! I found your videos entertaining and motivational even before I started to lift. I have been lifting 3 months now and went from severely underweight (60kg at 196cm) to now almost 80kg I am going to the gym 4 times a week. My physique has changed, my confidence has changed. Everything snapped into place once I decided to turn my life around. I don't ever plan on stopping. Thanks for being you 🤟
Excellent video Noel. I had a somewhat different experience. I was an alcoholic several years ago, and asking Why never seemed to work. Finally, after years of failure, instead of wondering what my Why was.. I started wondering what my Why Not was. Why NOT stop drinking.. Why NOT pick myself back up again.. Why NOT? And eventually I had no answer for that and.. well.. I picked myself back up. Whether it's your Why or your Why NOT that's holding you back, either way the first step is the same and it's not as hard as one might think. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. So Noel, and all my lifting brothers and sisters out there.. let's step together!!
I always said that my reason for getting into the gym was my friends, but not in the sense of wanting to be like them, but in wanting to be there for them and growing together. Now most of them have slacked and the few others are just as determined as me. I hadn't been able to put a finger on it till this video but I've found my "why". To be the man, the father, the friend I would want, and to be strong but not fast to anger.
I don’t even do sports, but I’ve been following you for couple of years now. You’re one of my biggest inspiration boosts to keep going. You help me to see value in my life. Keep making amazing content!
Love this guy, i've been falling in and out of working out. I am relying on sports to get me to be physical but currently it is the offseason and I'm sitting here doing nothing. It hurts me to look in the mirror at the same skinny guy. I am going to fully commit to changing my physic and becoming a better athlete. Wish me luck. ( 150lbs 15yrs rn)
Even though I'm ahead of most people my age I do appreciate this video. I feel like sometimes I'm not sure where I'm heading in life. This video made me gain the refocus I needed.
Needed this. I lost my job few days ago and barely got any money left. But at the same time, its a great opportunity for me to do what i really want to do. Thank you Noel!
Just a question, what is your why? I spoke a bit about finding your why in the last part but establishing this is soooo important!🙏🏼 hope you guys are enjoying the videos 💪🏼❤️
Loved your hourglass example, that was such a great way to show a new way of looking at time.
to me, I feel as though there is none. I've been struggling with severe depression for years, and gave up often. I despise myself, yet I find myself striving for the better again. I will give it my all, regardless of my self-hatred and lack of "why".
Actually the "no change" made me unmotivated to go to gym 😢
To be honest I don't know what my "why" is yet. Maybe that's the reason why I can't commit fully to what I am passionate for. Ty Daddy Noel ❤
My why is I want to be a better man for my future wife & family (I'm single but I'm not gonna wait to be better) that having to take risks that I'm anxious about, controlling lust, being in shape, & being a man of God

Guys, when I was 39 2 years ago, I was 320lbs, miserable. My wife is a unicorn and she deserved better. My kids deserved better.
I set myself to just walking and controlling my diet. That grew into cycling and lifting.
Today, I've lost 100lbs. I feel incredible. My fitness and cardio are off my charts (I cycle 60-100mi per week, often at very high intensity levels). My lifting arc started about 6 months ago and I'm going hard now.
I say all this because at 41, I'm experiencing a full renaissance in life. I can do anything with my kids. My wife is enjoying an energy Ive almost never had. Our intimacy has increased 10x and so has my stamina (cardio FTW). Everything is better.
I write this because I had all of this in 14 months. I lost the 100 in 14mon. I've maintained since then. But I am now going for 185-190, as I have never seen my abs. And I want my wife to see me and gasp, just once.
I started this at 39. I feel like I'm 25 again (minus the joint cracks, but no pain yet). Don't wait. Just start. Start walking. Start eating half the portions you used to.
Just start.
Insane man! Yo are a monster!💪
Thank you for sharing! I’m 37 and miserable and afraid of getting old too fast with no way back. Hearing about stories like yours gives me hope! ❤

I'm working hard, my "Why" is to be a good steward of my body and keep myself healthy for my future family. I can't forget it. ❤
❤
Hell yeah bro! Keep trying and pushing forward, it’ll be worth it!
Value your life and go to the gym. Take it from a guy whom has been married 4 times.
I had the drive and passion to go back to school and get my EMT, I still have that passion for work in the healthcare field. However when it comes to working out I don't quite have the same drive for it as I used to. But thanks to your videos I'll continue to find more and more meaning so I can be the best version of myself.
Whether you read this or not Noel, Thank you very much for the words of wisdom and the kindness you espouse in your videos!!
Hello Noel, I lost 23 kg since january of this year and still trying my hardest every single day, and your videos, your passion, everything about your person inspires me to be a better person. Im not looking to radically reinvent myself, fairytail dont exist, but what does exist is consistence and dedication, these two things are the only way to strive and be a better person of what you were yesterday. Love you Noel
"Ask why you want it and you will feel it on your soul when you find your why". Damn why is that the most perfect line? Thank you, I know this is pertaining mostly to fitness but I've been trying to get another potentially life changing thing under my belt for a while, and this really set things into perspective for me.
I have a daughter due in December. Everything I do is for her. Getting into shape to be able to protect her. Being more stable to prevent a traumatic childhood. I need this video. I want change and my family deserves me to be the man I need to be on top of the man I want to be.
I always find myself watching these videos and always gain motivation but it’s always like when I wake up the next morning all of that motivation is gone and I would just end up going back to my old ways and I can’t find a way to motivate myself anymore which is why I’m stuck in a infinite loop
I used to have that same issue. Biggest thing that helped me was setting goals. One days you’ll find something that helps you, and persevere!
Set realistic goals and tackle one at a time is what has helped me. Step one was to track every thing I ate no matter what and if I couldn’t accurately track it I didn’t eat it(anything without semi accurate nutrition info) This has allowed me to be more conscious of what I’m eating. It’s important to only track not change build a habit one at a time and you will find that others will come easier.
Don’t find motivation, try to find discipline.
Hey man, Im a young lad struggling more and more every day to keep myself motivated. Your videos are such a gem to watch every day - you're such a down-to-earth guy, and you just sit down and talk to us like we're there in person with you. Thank you for much for making these videos, they really do help.
Kick-ass man
There are few men who are better to be inspired by than Papa Noel
Excellent
if you try to squeeze motivation out of everything, you'll run out of it someday. we are humans, we are not programmed to have motivation to do anything at any given time. what we have instead is discipline, meaning: do the thing, no matter however gruesome it feels. just do it
Discipline. That's all that's needed. For discipline beats motivation. Every. Single. Time.
"Discipline equals freedom."
-Jocko Willink
deeply on my heart. noel was a brother who loves us much as he can. big respect daddy
@@dreamboi09 thank you
I did this exact same thing this year. Stuck in life because I didn't have the motivation to fully become what I wanted to do. I'm still on the progress of it but it's in the right track. I was able to pass the physical of what was required. Last year I was 250s lbs and now I'm at 190s lbs. I'm starting a slow bulk since I'm there physically where I want to be
Muchas gracias señor Noel. Espero con el tiempo ser como usted. Sus videos me motivan cada día, tanto mental como corporal. Gracias.
I've been through a lot mental drama for last 2 months, and now I have been stripped off from all my friends.
Thank you Noel, I will make it to the top one day ❤
If you lost them all that quickly they were probably never "real" friends in the first place. Fuck em!
This man is like the father I needed growing up and for that I am eternally grateful.
I needed this Noel more than you know. The this year I’ve lost family and friends and have let myself go physically and mentally. I’ve rewatched this 5 times and it’s giving me what I need to start changing my life. Thank you from Canada.

I started running in 2021 and am hooked. I moved to Oregon in 2023 and joined a women's running and walking program that got me connected with so many friends. I went from struggling to run 3 miles after I moved to Oregon due to slacking in my running to completing 4 half-marathons this year. My sights are set on a full-marathon on June 1, 2025 so that I can say "yeah, I've done that."
My goal this winter is to improve my speed and get in the habit of strength training regularly. I this summer I did strength training sporadically as I'd often develop calf pain after. Turned out, it was weak soleus muscles. I have found a program that inspires me to strength train twice a week to build the consistency and habit. My full-marathon training plan starts in January. Rain or shine, I'm running through the winter, and if it snows, I have YakTrax.
Damn, man! Today I lost a patient. I’m a paramedic, and we were called to a 70-year-old unresponsive man. We provided advanced life support, performed CPR, but we lost him. This isn’t that hard. We do this a lot. If we’ve done everything we could, our soul is at peace, even if the patient passes away. But this one… His wife was there, and she only realized she had lost her husband when his lifeless body was lying in her arms. She kept repeating that she thought they’d have more time.
We never have enough time. We can never know how much time we have. That’s why it’s important to live as if it could end at any moment. To love like today is the last day, because one day it will be. Maybe today, maybe in 10 years. Memento mori.
Thank you Noel. I truly needed this right now in my life. Lately I've been cutting, working out, and doing pretty much anything I want to do. There's just one thing, I still feel like i don't have anything in my life. I'm grateful for the things I have like this phone, 3 meals a day, friends, a roof over my head, ect. But I just feel empty. And I think anyone can help me, I think it'll be you. I've sat down with a peice of paper and wrote down why I'm doing the things I do, and don't get me wrong, I'm still grinding hard to get what I want, but I don't feel like I have anything. It's almost like an empty feeling inside. I just don't know what to do. Please help 🙏
Epic motivational speech instead of just yelling “just do it bro”
I am a first year med student and I have been struggling to get focused, manage my time and work out in the same time. I am ashamed to say that I’ve been slacking. TH-cam has been a big distraction for me and a time consuming factor. I’ve spent countless hours mindlessly scrolling shorts or watching nonsense when I could (and should) have been studying or working out. I have stumbled upon this video and I have decided to delete TH-cam from my phone. Thank you Daddy Noel. I now understand why everybody calls you that. I’ll still be watching you from time to time.
Just the video I needed for this Winter Arc.
Truely
Sir, not only have you motivated me to get back into the gym. You also got me painting and drawing again. Danke, Thank you.
legitimately one of my favourite youtube videos of all time. thank you, Noel.
@@BenDiamondGuitarist me too
As a kid, I've always wanted to start a TH-cam channel, but I've always been conscious of how others perceive me. This video inspired me to start. Thank you, Noel!
One of the best influencer in fitness industry
@@nalanhazzard yes
Going through a really rough patch right now and despite being a strong person I feel giving up on living anymore, your videos are very calming and give me a lot of hope
Atm I’m tired and all the progress I made so far is down the drain because of my mental health. I hope things get better for me and I hope I don’t give up, thanks noel !
You will get through them. It'll take time but with each day giving you a fresher start will make you to keep on going. We all go through so much, If you can survive today, you can survive the rest of it. There will be hope. You will lose a lot but you can always regain a lot more. Noel's Video is a great way to make yourself push through your hard times.
@@ZyCreatez hey brother, just wanted to appreciate you with all my heart for commenting this I was going through a very tough phase this past week it’s been incredibly hard but it gives me hope to know that there are good people like you out there thanks for these kind words, God bless you ! ♥️
P.s. if you ever need any help, support or someone to talk to you’ve got a friend in me I’d like to return the favour
@@zyzz4786 You’re welcome too brother, You’ll get through your hardships. It’ll take time and never rush, feel and accept it. Let out all the pain you feel so it’s not a burden later on. Keep on going and push through them and i appreciate you too. You’re welcome and Don’t lose hope and have faith in yourself. God bless you too ❤️
@@ZyCreatez thanks man, I’m just trying to work hard be strong , trying to survive , thanks for these words and thanks for motivating me, it means a lot to me. I wish you the best this helped me a lot. May you be blessed in abundance 🙏🏽❤️

What Noel has done here is simply magnificent. It's a philosophy for life
3:45 Cuz I’m tryna find love bruh🙏🙏🙏
Love yourself first bro, your opinion about yourself has to always be on top.
You are the true father of all of us. So, on behalf of all your sons and daughters, thank you so much♥
1:03 🤯 deep talk❤🔥
My career is finally beginning to take off, but it all feels so fragile. Constant improvement and planning seems to help. I see building resiliency as the only way I can navigate setbacks and even victories. To any one out there, struggling, just don’t quit, you are more resourceful and stronger than you think.
I suggest reading a book 'Bruce Thornwood: Unveiling Your Hidden Potential' if you want to know how to man up. Just follow everything writer suggests in there, it's one of the best reads I had in a while.
For anyone wondering about getting this book this comment is parting of a marketing campaign to get you to buy the book it’s a scam all with bot likes.
Bot?
Bot.
Bot!
Thank you
You are touching souls and changing lives Noel. Thank you.
You became fame and still are a humble man who helps people. Matter of fact, you help them, who needs it the most, the youth. Thank you.
The last quote hits so hard. I know my goal, and I promise I'll stick to it. I'll look back at myself at the end of the year with pride.:) One goal would be to minimize my insecurities and comparison to others, and some negative thought patterns that have taken root, but I know I'm gettin there! Here's to an amazing winter arc everyone, much love!
Love you Noel, I started gym because of you
@@AdityaChakraborty-wr8pl really?
@@motivationalvideos432 yup
After getting the motivation we have to keep the discipline otherwise it will again build up the same situation where we were stucked. Without the motivation discipline cannot be started and without the discipline the value of motivation will be never defined.
I love it. My winter arc is usually trying to stay comfortable but i think my why this year is enough to continue my 1.5 hour walk/runs and climbing gym visits 3 times a week.
Push up the gym to 4 times (obviously if it fits your schedule) and stay hard for this winter arc 🔥
remember to not overdo it because you will burn out and not do it anymore , you are climbing stairs , don't go too fast or else you will fall
@@sebixthegamerpro2756 Fr
I don't know if I have body dismorphia, but since the start of my teen years, I haven't been proud of or even comfortable in my own body. I was a skinny kid, then a fat 11-13 y/o, now a skinny 15 y/o. I've tried changing in the past, but procrastination and a lack of patience always ruins my consistency. I want to do better this time. I plan on doing better this time. I will try my best to be better this time. Thanks for the motivation boost. I'm cheering on everyone who wants to do better this time. We can all do it.
Sir Noel you are my biggest inspiration

Me too
Noel looks like a super hero.. yet I can relate to this man a 100%. I love how he humanizes himself.. I love you Noel!
0:00 best part
0:00 to 4:57 was my personal favorite
Really
Whenever I see Noel, I can sense something unlike any other TH-camrs I have seen. Just pure humble, soft and full of support.
This isn't just a motivational video, this is truth. I am 25 years old, and although I feel like I'm on the right path... I'm scared of getting older. Your hour glass example is something I never considered or ever thought of.
This video almost brought me to tears, thank you Noel... This truly has changed my perspective for the better 🥹
@@TransformersFan5000Transfomers wonderful
Dude I lowkey thought the title was "how to sigma 🤑🗣" after seeing childsquish's post
i love being the friend or family member who's asked to lift heavy things or do hard task simply because others don't have the strength. my strength makes me feel important and i love helping people it might be silly or an immature reason but i love people being able to rely on me for my strength.
1:52 whats that on his tricep?
It’s called Freestyle Libre. It’s a sensor used to measure your blood sugar levels. Diabetics usually use these. Or in this case people who want to track how their bodies react to certain types of carbs or different food in general.
@@conradmueller9103 thanks bro❤
@@conradmueller9103 I thought that was what it was, but wasn't sure.
Noel, I want to thank you for being the father figure so many people want and need and for always wanting us to become a better version of ourselves. Keep doing what your doing!💪🏽
Sure
@NoelDeyzel what is that on your arm at 1:52
Blood sugar monitor
I think he has low blood sugar, so he’s trying to keep a better diet by monitoring how much sugar he has in this blood to make it stable
Does he have diabetes?
@@gega24-h3r I'm also curious about it 🤔 it looks like a glucose monitor that I have with type one diabetes
Probably the libre 3 glucose monitor
Viktor E. Frankl's "Man's search for meaning" helped me not finding the answer right away for that particular "why" but to ask myself constantly about the actions I take on the journey. The deed you take should incorporate the meaning that you are seeking.
When you come to a milestone in your life that will make you question your existence remember that it's not you who is asking but rather who is asked and with that in mind also remember (as Nietzsche would say): "He who has a why to live can bear almost any how".

I’m 16 and 260 lbs. I was 270 at my worst. Thank you, Noel. I’m going to try my best to fix this to improve my life.
Noel is a true friend/role model. Its really nice cuz, yes i have people helping me, guide me. But Noel kmows what yo say. Your words of motivation helps alot of people, your a dad for all the people who grew up without a dad. Im grateful.
It's all about our decisions and what we do. Discipline is about making decisions that are aligned with our intentions. Inspiration may get us started, but it's the habit that keeps us going. Habits stay with us even when we don’t have the inspiration. All of it I grabbed from the book Unveiling Your Hidden Potential
U r the big brother, I could ever ask for . May god bless u man and make u live long , so that u can keep making these insightful videos Noel ,from yours lovingly little bro . I wish I could just hug u . Love u from my heart .
i had Zyzz or inspiration when i was a teenager, Now i have Daddy Noel for motivation as a man, God bless to both for helping so many people improve their lives,
Your clearly one of the best fitness influences Noel, Your positivity is infectious, and the self betterment principal of awareness was a good pick.😁
when i heard the song “don’t look back in anger,” by oasis, my life changed, bro. i’m currently in my junior year of high school and i’m incredibly proud of how i’m leading myself and accomplishing things. i have a 4.66 gpa and i’m captain of two 18-year-old volleyball teams as a 16 year old. in currently working with my administration and planning the production of murals across my school in order to project the student voice and the visualization of the teenage student mental health degradation. i love my life so much, and i’m looking forward in pride, not back in anger. that last sentence you said, noel, influences my life perfectly. we got this bro!!!💪💪💪
I've heard negative things about you Noel, but you've been nothing but a role model for me my whole life. You are such a humble man and the most selfless steroid user in the world. I don't care what you choose to do with your body, I don't care about these stupid allegations, but I thank you for helping all of us through our live. I got your back, love you brother.
This man is pure kindness... Wish i could sto being a pieve of crap and lose weight, but hey i gotta "study hard"... Keep going Noel you have the great gift of natural kindness
@@TheItalianWeeb agree with you
Gave me chills man, always giving good advice. I had my best friend at 22 pass away of stage 4 brain cancer, i think about him every day hoping to see him again. but i know he's lookin up above.My why is him because he always had big ambitions and wanting to make the most out of life for himself and for me but he never had the opportunity too. Every day i hope to become successful not just for myself but for a brother i lost.
I’ve been in the gym relatively consistently, but this video has helped me decide I’m changing other aspects of my life. Noel helped me start the lifting journey, and now he’s helped me start my academic and social life grind.
@@ultranate1594 continue
Been working out and staying on top of my college work. It’s exhausting but at the same time I’ve never felt better. I can’t wait for the winter when I can fully devote myself to getting in shape.
You are literally my gym therapist. Thanks Noel for all the work you put into your channel, I’m really being consistent in the gym and noticing lots of gains! I’ll continue to stay motivated using this video.
This is a deep video, but it's one that motivates me. Thank you Noel. I am now the storm that is approaching.
Your words are so inspiring and motivational, they can truly change someone's life. Thanks Noel, for being here for us. We need more people like you in this planet 🥺
I was fat i was 100kgs i watched your video 2 months ago and started going to gym now i am 90kg
Thanks for motivating me daddy Noel love from india ❤❤❤
This man NEVER fails to motivate me. Do not worry, Noel, this winter arc will be something else.
I was trying hard in the past few years to change but couldn't succeed . Hope i will change from now own.
And thanks dad for the motivation i promise you i will change .lets grind together brothers and sisters.
Love the longer format clips.
After my back injury two weeks ago, this was a great message to help me reset and get back on track. Thanks 🙏
Hey Noel. I come from a horrible 2024 so far, from chronic health issues, lost jobs, left countries, and ended relationships I thought they were the one.
I wanted to thank you for this video. It is difficult to rebound, and even more to find a why for me at this time, but I don't wish to give up, rather living day by day. I try to become more compassionate with myself, take care of my issues, move on, and improve, so I never face such time again.
I usually go to motivational videos on my down days such as today to pump me back up and this is one of them. Your story is inspiring. We all appreciate you. Take care and keep up your awesome work!
You are doing well. Continue, ok? Please, enjoy yourself. There's much more to the world
Sometimes i feel all that we need is a little push and you fit that role perfectly. Noel your videos have truly proved to be an inspiration for all of us and I really want you to keep up all the outstanding work that you do!
Noel thank you for being here to help so many people and giving us good tips. You truly are THE kindest person❤
I think so
I think that its amazing that you added an extra sound track for this, thanks for the inspo Noel 💪
Hi Noel! I found your videos entertaining and motivational even before I started to lift. I have been lifting 3 months now and went from severely underweight (60kg at 196cm) to now almost 80kg I am going to the gym 4 times a week. My physique has changed, my confidence has changed. Everything snapped into place once I decided to turn my life around. I don't ever plan on stopping. Thanks for being you 🤟
@@joey7903 really interesting
Excellent video Noel. I had a somewhat different experience. I was an alcoholic several years ago, and asking Why never seemed to work. Finally, after years of failure, instead of wondering what my Why was.. I started wondering what my Why Not was. Why NOT stop drinking.. Why NOT pick myself back up again.. Why NOT? And eventually I had no answer for that and.. well.. I picked myself back up. Whether it's your Why or your Why NOT that's holding you back, either way the first step is the same and it's not as hard as one might think. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. So Noel, and all my lifting brothers and sisters out there.. let's step together!!
I always said that my reason for getting into the gym was my friends, but not in the sense of wanting to be like them, but in wanting to be there for them and growing together. Now most of them have slacked and the few others are just as determined as me. I hadn't been able to put a finger on it till this video but I've found my "why". To be the man, the father, the friend I would want, and to be strong but not fast to anger.
I don’t even do sports, but I’ve been following you for couple of years now. You’re one of my biggest inspiration boosts to keep going. You help me to see value in my life. Keep making amazing content!
Love this guy, i've been falling in and out of working out. I am relying on sports to get me to be physical but currently it is the offseason and I'm sitting here doing nothing. It hurts me to look in the mirror at the same skinny guy. I am going to fully commit to changing my physic and becoming a better athlete. Wish me luck. ( 150lbs 15yrs rn)
