"There's no getting there. We're already there." The shot seems to move forward towards the island while maintaining a stationary perspective, representing the illusion of progress in life. The island represents a future goal for him and his work is to just enjoy admiring it from the shore. Reminds me of To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. We're all drawn in to our desires inexplicably and often they don't hold the fulfillment we seek. It's about appreciating what we have in the present moment. Nathaniel, you are a genius and your cinematography is poetry.
I can’t even compare or try to type a comment like this boy! But I can agree with you, this video has an incredible production, meaning and representation of the message from Nathaniel. Good for you Nathan, great for us! Thanks!
I never have enough time because I'm always reading people's comment about why they never have enough time under the movie about why you never have enough time..
@@outsider1st i never have enough time because i'm always reading people's comment about responding people's comments about why they never have enough time under a video about why you never have enough time
Find myself chilling on TH-cam with like minded people, fills my time better than network TV which I rarely watch. I an conscious we have limited time so I exercise control over who and what I watch.
Life isn’t short, it’s long. Only when we zone out, check out from reality , we feel that the time flies by. Because we don’t have any memorable moments.
@@zurima2012 you lived them, that's enough. It's not about doing something with it afterwards, it's about living them in the present. That's what "making memories" is about, living them for the sake of living, not for keeping them somewhere else for later use.
Vic Sum That’s what I said, just live for now! Meditate! Live for the moment When you say memories that implies dwelling on the past 🙄. . Being here and now at all times is complete happiness
@@ilhamburger8288 first read something on the internet about him, just to gain general knowledge on his philosophy. Then, find a simplified version of his "Moral Letters to Lucilius"
A book I read recently had a neat little quote that was along the lines of, "If I am to live twenty more years, I will try to live enjoying each moment, instead of killing myself for more."
Its about social acceptance and fitting in because if you sit around and do nothing in a rich country everyone will hate you and you have no friends. So you have to deal with either constant stress or social isolation and loneliness. Yet most people feel a lot of both.
I started decluttering stuff in my home and my appointments a couple of years ago. Then I realized that the hardest part is facing that free time and myself without distractions or occupations. I'm on that stage now. I think this is the real start of the real self-improvement.
Being both an INFJ and Highly sensitive person, I really can feel those behind the scene thoughts of yours. I'm in my final year of undsrgrad, and for last 1 year, my intuitions are screaming to tell me, I'm in a wrong movie, I'm heading towards wrong direction. But the family and society expectations are so much and everything is so fast speed, that now pausing for a moment to check whether I'm on right path or not, or which direction I should go, this pausing is felte like I'm less capable. Slow living, or experiencing, learning from the mistakes these don't exist anymore. Careers and paths are more fixed than pre destiny. I'm getting physically and mentally sick out of it.
"It's amazing how we fill our lives almost to the brim with every possible distraction, every possible way of forgetting, ignoring and running from the present moment, I'm doing my best to remind myself not to sprint all the time because what's the rush this is life that is happening right now, there's no getting there, we're already there. " The narration is gold, thank you Nathaniel for this, it feels like for me your videos is part of my mental health being, thanks man! Kudos to you! 你很棒！
I live in Italy, I studied latin and ancient greek for about five years in my highschool and I always hear people saying that studying those subjects is useless. I really appreciated the fact that you have actually understood them and you put what they said in your life: in facts it’s not that common! I see some of my schoolmates leaving Seneca’s ideas on their literature books, instead of reacting to his statements like you did. So I really appreciated your reaction: you have just given them back their worth.
Man, you really inspire me. Every single time I waste my time doing things that honestly ruin my life I see one of your videos and then I get back to realization about genuine things in life. Thank you for this, dude. Even if you never notice this comment I wanna thank for all of it.
You seem to have a very definite talent to inspire people. You will find your destiny if you keep up the constant questioning. Very inspiring to see a young guy not following the crowd or chasing useless people or wasting himself. Keep up the good work.
"Everyone aims to work harder, do more, achieve more. *what is all this productivity even for?* " That is one question I was pondering for quite a while. You tackled it beautifully. This video is a masterpiece.
This is one of the best videos I've seen you do so far... well for me anyway. I am constantly thinking ahead and struggle with being present. When I stop to be present I think about the past and all the people I miss spending time with that are either dead or no longer in my life by choice. It's a painful part about life, that is letting go of the past, remembering the good, and being present and enjoying what is around you. Thank you again for sharing this video. It really moved me.
I told my mom the other day, "I cant' wait to graduate college so I can finally start my life," and she turned around, looked at me and said, "you're already living it. Enjoy it now." I was like damn... she's right. It is so hard living in the present and that's something that I have to remind myself to do every day.
Another thing I love about this channel is the comment section. I just love hearing other people's thoughts and additional advices that makes life even more beautiful. I feel connected to every person watching these videos. God bless you all wonderful souls.
Omg I resonate with this soooooo much. The anxiety I feel over being productive and moving forward. It literally disables me when I stress over it, which extends for hours. I always want things to move faster. I’m learning to rest and relax and live in the moment. I loved this video, thank you
Fantastic message Nathaniel. Your videos are getting more inspirational with each piece you put out! I feel like I am watching a mini documentary everytime I see a video from you. Keep up the great work and keep on the right path! ❤️
“There’s no getting there. We’re already there”. This is something I’ve also discovered a lot lately. I keep thinking that there’s some “point” I’ll get to and then I’ll be successful. A certain award. Acclaim from a certain person. A certain number of people who look up to me. But just thinking about how I’ve already achieved what I didn’t think possible a year ago in my personal and professional goals and growth and yet still I think I’m not “there yet” has made me reflect a lot and realize that I never will be there because there is no point to get to. Just the present moment, with the person inside of me who more or less will never change and I need to learn how to be satisfied with and love.
"Il dolce far niente", as they say in Italian, is becoming a lost art. I encourage you to visit small Italian villages and spend time with the locals, I'm sure you can find someone who still enjoys and cherishes taking things slow and the small pleasures in life here somewhere. I am very grateful to have been born and brought up in such a place, sometimes it is the most banal and simple things that we tend to overlook and forget as we strive for success in the madly accelerated way of living of our times. Greetings from a small village near Florence!
Ciao! I've always been fascinated with rural and countryside Italy since I can remember! It's one of the most beautiful villages and sceneries on Earth! Where are you from, bella? (Pardon my poor Italian)
Studying in Piacenza right now. Sometimes I say there’s nothing to do here. Then I realize that spending time with friends at restaurants, bars, etc. IS the thing to do because it’s so important.
"This is life that is happening right now, there is no getting there, we are already there.". That one got me. I realize that my happiest moments aren't based on holidays, time off, material, they come when I just appreciate what I already am, what I already have, people in my life, giving my self some time to really think and enjoy the process of life. Whether I am at work helping costumers with their shoes, at my other job tutoring and helping children out, If I'm studying for my classes or just working out. Of course, we all want to be "somewhere" we aren't, it doesn't mean we can't appreciate where we are now. Just makes the process that much easier... that much more enjoyable.
your videos are always so beautiful and profound, but light at the same time. They give me a sense of balance and peace, which is rare to find on social media, so thank you for that.
Damn dude, your filmmaking is on point. Every single video you seem to improve. You inspire me to step outside of my comfort zone and become more productive. I have even started experimenting with TH-cam videos about personal finance as a way to educate myself. Keep doing what you are doing, thank you!
Every upload comes at just the right time... makes you realise how we’re all in this together. Loved the way you approached this artistically, I can tell you’ve been putting effort into improving quality!
Just watched the whole video twice and still feel like I missed out on something. It was so beautifully shot and written , so thoughtful of you. Great message. Love from India🇮🇳
I've said this before but I've been following this channel for quite a while and the quality of the content here just never seizes to amaze me. The way you tell your stories, the cinematography, it just draws you in. The content here has really helped me through times when I felt lost and has often provided me with a new perspective from which to view things. I feel like this channel has become a part of me and I really appreciate the hardwork you put into this.
Just wanted to say, at this point, i look forward to your videos...which i cannot say for very many creators. As a creator myself, I appreciate the amount of time and work and thought that goes into each one of these. Keep thinking and creating, Nathan.
That addiction to productivity is sooo relateable for me. ..and I'm feeling a little anxious now overthinking the sense of all of this.. anyway great video! :)
What a thought provoking video. Thank you for inspiring me to improve my own videos. I want to help people become the person they want to be by controling their habits.
Two years ago, while my friend visited me in college, she said to me, "You know, you're really busy, but what are you really doing with your time?" I remember feeling defensive at first because I knew what she said was true. I had to take a step back and ask myself, "Why are you so busy?" I realized the busier I seemed, the more likely I will be viewed as successful or involved. The reality was that I was busy, but not productive. I was doing something for the sake of doing it. Since then, I do my best to hone in on my intentions. Nathaniel, since you have experience traveling, how does this need to be busy present itself in different cultures (or maybe it doesn't). Would love to hear about it!
Creo que ver este video fue lo más productivo que hice hoy. No tengo palabras para expresar cuan agradecida estoy de que hayas hecho ésto, ayudarás a muchas personas 💜
When he said “the anxiety bubbling up in my chest” I really felt _myself_ getting anxious! Thank you for this video, I think we all really needed to hear this message.
The nature in Italy reminded me about my trip to Norway. There was no people around me - only such a wonderful colors of water and sky like in this video. 😊
“Time wasters” is purely subjective, unless you define what your goal is. Planning for the future makes sense if it helps attain your goals, commuting can be positive if you get work done on a train or listen to podcasts and only commute because it saves you thousands of dollars due to a cheaper home, arguing with people can, if done correctly, allow you to gain information about a subject you wouldn’t normally be exposed to. It really depends what you want.
Damn Nathaniel. Hitted me right in the feels. It's really fascinating that with your own art that you provide in these videos, you're pushing a lot of people like me to dive into some deep and meaningful thoughts. Keep grinding dude, absolutely love your content! ✌️
Watching this for the fourth time now and I still can't believe he said that even productivity is a distraction to a bigger question.......absolutely love this guy!!
This video has some of the most beautiful cinematography I've ever seen. Amazing Nathaniel. Also, I was surprised to see Bernardo, I've watched some of his videos (I'm in the same University as he was, from India).
Nathaniel, you have such a gift with words, film, and story telling. You are so articulate, so good at expressing yourself and getting your message(s) across. You're so young to be so wise and so contemplative. I really admire your openness, your outlook on life and the way you share it with us. Your videos and stories captivate me and I can't help but to click on them. They're very refreshing, so full of new perspectives. I'm a brand new subscriber but you already have me hooked. Take good care, and never stop learning, exploring, and sharing. Namaste 😊
Nathaniel I genuinely your videos. Visually, the way you communicate your message. You make me want to be better, please don’t stop making videos. It shows that you put effort into your videos and I appreciate it’s so refreshing. Your awesome don’t stop doing what your doing
The thing I have liked the most as I watch your vids, is your honest to your shortcomings, flaws, mishaps and your very own vulnerabilities. A very rare trait especially in today's times. :) Thanks
A hundred percent my thoughts over the last two years. Thank you for making these outstanding pieces. This is literally the only channel where I love every single video.
I saw this video back in November and re watching it now. This is my favorite video personally that you've made. It resonates with me and the shots are beautiful and clean. I appreciate it all. That Seneca quote is my new mantra. Thank you!
"There's no getting there. We're already there." The shot seems to move forward towards the island while maintaining a stationary perspective, representing the illusion of progress in life.

Story of most of my friends, we were in same school school scoring almost same grades still they were always busy n I always had time for everyone
So agree with you ! Thanks for the amazing contents, please share a bit about your experience as a traveler :)
Creo que ver este video fue lo más productivo que hice hoy. No tengo palabras para expresar cuan agradecida estoy de que hayas hecho ésto, ayudarás a muchas personas 💜
When he said “the anxiety bubbling up in my chest” I really felt _myself_ getting anxious! Thank you for this video, I think we all really needed to hear this message.
The nature in Italy reminded me about my trip to Norway. There was no people around me - only such a wonderful colors of water and sky like in this video. 😊
I didn’t realize I wasn’t living in the moment until this video opened my eyes.
Absolutely loved this dude, your videos keep getting better and I love that you're sharing your state of being inspired with all of us. Keep going!
Time wasters, Cause: mobile, day dreaming, screen time, arguing with people, commuting, waiting , excess work, planning future, dwelling in past
did you just describe my adhd? :o
“Time wasters” is purely subjective, unless you define what your goal is. Planning for the future makes sense if it helps attain your goals, commuting can be positive if you get work done on a train or listen to podcasts and only commute because it saves you thousands of dollars due to a cheaper home, arguing with people can, if done correctly, allow you to gain information about a subject you wouldn’t normally be exposed to.
It really depends what you want.
Damn Nathaniel. Hitted me right in the feels. It's really fascinating that with your own art that you provide in these videos, you're pushing a lot of people like me to dive into some deep and meaningful thoughts. Keep grinding dude, absolutely love your content! ✌️
You've been reading my mind again o.o
Beautiful cinematography!
“There’s no getting there. We’re already there”
that’s a perspective I haven’t brought my mind to before.
Please don’t stop making these , highly appreciated on you sharing your wisdom !
"This is life that is happening right now." Wow, this resonated with me. Powerfull stuff, awesome video!
Watching this for the fourth time now and I still can't believe he said that even productivity is a distraction to a bigger question.......absolutely love this guy!!
This video has some of the most beautiful cinematography I've ever seen. Amazing Nathaniel. Also, I was surprised to see Bernardo, I've watched some of his videos (I'm in the same University as he was, from India).
"Pick a goal not because of its destination, but because of the journey".
I heard this while doing a language exchange, and it stuck with me.
This video was absolutely beautiful to watch! The cinematography was so captivating, especially at 1:52 I was just like "woahh" haha
Nathaniel, you have such a gift with words, film, and story telling. You are so articulate, so good at expressing yourself and getting your message(s) across.
You're so young to be so wise and so contemplative. I really admire your openness, your outlook on life and the way you share it with us. Your videos and stories captivate me and I can't help but to click on them. They're very refreshing, so full of new perspectives.
I'm a brand new subscriber but you already have me hooked. Take good care, and never stop learning, exploring, and sharing. Namaste 😊
„There‘s no getting there. We‘re already there.“
Those are some true words

"This is the LIFE that is happening right now...there is no getting there we are already there"
Damn!!
Saw this pop up in my recommended, and now I'm just amazed by your storytelling through this video
Another skilfully made video. Thank you
The thing I have liked the most as I watch your vids, is your honest to your shortcomings, flaws, mishaps and your very own vulnerabilities. A very rare trait especially in today's times. :) Thanks
In my eyes there's really only two types of lost people ... The one's who never find their grind/passion and the ones who get lost in it.
A hundred percent my thoughts over the last two years. Thank you for making these outstanding pieces. This is literally the only channel where I love every single video.
I feel the need to breathe after watching your videos..... Keep it up, my man!!!
DUDEEEEE YOUR VIDEOS ARE SICK NASTY. so inspirational, it makes me cry
Adopting the NOW mentality is the key to making time. “I’ll do it tomorrow” is one of the worst things you could say.
Watch this 😁

I saw this video back in November and re watching it now. This is my favorite video personally that you've made. It resonates with me and the shots are beautiful and clean. I appreciate it all. That Seneca quote is my new mantra. Thank you!
Dude I feel like we're going through such a similar journey right now. Really appreciating your insights
