Never thought about it like that tbh, I practically view myself as a punching bag but only pretend like I care about myself for the purpose of existing. Sounds deep but its the best way to describe it :(
I was feeling really ashamed about myself today. I was embarrassed that I act the way I do. That I can't talk to people without it becoming so unbearable that I cry and cringe at everything I said when I get home. I was abandoned when I was a kid so I always think it's for the best if I'm alone. But I got too comfortable with that and now I have a hard time just talking. But I have been doing better. I ask my coworkers how their day is going. I make a joke in line at the store. I compliment strangers. I have to let go of my past self. That little kid sitting in silence in an empty trailer is now making friends and trusting others. You can do it! There is no future, there is only today and today and today. ❤️
I never comment on anyone's videos, but this made me cry at work at 8 AM. I've been struggling to find meaning or light in anything anymore, but your thoughts made me want to at least try to find it again. The last big piece of advice of "cut yourself off to the point where there's new life inside of you" was so beautifully put and is something I need to work toward. Also, your smile is infectious, I love it!
Yes man , my brother was trying to tell me this the whole time and i wasn’t listening at first , me and him now currently learned about real estate and everyone been telling me “get a regular job” “jurt get another job for now” and it sucks yes but i don’t wanna quit this , i know the benefit and the success that will come out of real estate . my promise to you and everyone else whether i know y’all or not . is that i will see major success this year from this new career path , and i promise you will see success as long as you stay consistent and persistent ❤️
" Negative thought, you're constantly thinking these negative thoughts over and over again. They have to be combated by something or replaced by something. You can't replace a bad habit with absence. You have to fill it in with something good." Thank You.
"I think a lot of times we run from our problems without realizing that we're running from ourselves. We're running from the parts of ourselves that need to heal from certain things." Insane wisdom. Just subscribed.
Frl. Thats why i had to stop saying I’ve got to “find myself” because in reality our true self is that sin nature that we were born with. So its important that we find God within ourselves instead
@@Money_eraNot me personally I was raised Christian and it fucked me up for a long time. Happy to be atheist and on my own path of discovery and inner understanding these days.
Internet if used properly is the greatest blessing of our generation. I was feeling down these days, and suddenly this video popped out on my feed at the right time. Man it was wonderful listening every single minute of it. God bless you king 👑
I didn’t search this but God sent me this. I broke down today got on my knees in the woods praying to God and the sun shined on me. But I been waiting to let the past go and start pursuing my dreams but past be on my mind, but this video was the confirmation to let myself go and rebuild
10:54 “Loving yourself so much, everything you see, everything you interact with, is an exemplar of that love.” I would recommend this video a million times over. Your mindset can be life changing
I recently realized that I allowed other people to be in the driver seat of my own life. Being afraid that the things I wanted were unattainable, even doubting that God could take me there. I’m in a space where I’m feeling a lot of conviction about doing certain things but still fearful, a space where I know I have to let go of certain people. So many things changing all at once. I know my options are to stay stagnant or to go into these uncomfortable spaces. I asked God for these things not really knowing what came with it but, I also believe I am meant to be in this current season. Thank you for the encouragement, and for sharing your own experience 🙏🏾
Fr it happens to me too and I sometimes doubt my self and doubt my abilities just cuz I'm doing something that it's very rare to reach the top of it ,but I'm not giving up ,I'm going to fight against everything and everyone even my own negative thoughts ,I will work hard and God will absolutely do the rest for me to something that I will finally be proud of 👍
You know when a video comes across your feed randomly and you know you’re meant to watch it? This was it for me. Genuinely, the way you speak and the way you articulate your thoughts, is incredible. I see so much content each day but there are so few people that have a certain kind of resonance, and you definitely have it. Much love from Australia
“We are running from the part of ourselves that need to heal from certain things” I literally broke down sobbing. I am definitely writing this down in my journal.
I come from a place where I was told I "talk white" and as I grew older, I starved myself of knowledge to be social with that same group. It is so refreshing seeing another well spoken brother. Young black men need to know more than one type of role model. Keep being you bro.
yo this is fucked up, these people are some brainless losers omg they just couldn’t comprehend talking to a good moral man like you who has his shit straight. I hope you find more like minded people like yourself
1:30 Your thoughts become your actions, your actions become you. We need to get rid of the word manifestation because it’s confusing so many young people, becoming superstitious about it. it’s truly your thinking that leads into your actions that make you who you are. This is a well out video, fantastic job man seriously
True I feel like it’s a fancy word and some use it as a way to excuse wishful thinking. But the original definition. It was about acknowledging how your thoughts become you.
so ur telling me if I’m gon think I’m happy I’ll be happy and other people will do happy things with me, now tell me why this never happened despite me always being kind and happy with people and myself. People always disappoint me always. I can’t trust what that actually want, majority of em always take advantage of my kindness and are bunch of narcissistic mfs I can’t bro. Why aren’t other people doing this? Why are all them such bad people what is going on why am I trying so hard to be a good person when nobody wanna be that way towards me, like this is frustrating I’m always getting used ☹️☹️
@@stacey9377the world is a terrible place filled with terrible people. At the same time, it's filled with good people. Sometimes the world won't always return the good we give to it. The saying that goes, "if you can't beat them, join them" is a fact, but I believe that instead of becoming what you hate most, you could learn from the mistakes you've made and build yourself and your confidence in a way that when those dangers return, you stand your ground and face it head on. If you notice you can't do anything about it, move on with your life and focus on the other task at hand. If you're always trying to please everyone, you'll get hurt a lot of times. Not everyone will accept your good and that's fine. Naturally, those people may or may not conform to your will. This way, you don't become a bad person rather you inculcate techniques of dealing with bad people whenever they come your way.
“We get addicted to our past and keep looping it” damn I feel this 💔 especially when I’m goin thru tough experiences like why am I torturing myself by staying the same and miserable? Why can’t I start changing
"Cut the old version of your old self off to the point that there is new life inside of you" genuinely mindblown. I have been feeling like my life has been the same for the last 2 years because I couldn't let go of my past mistakes. Thank you man. From NZ
12:02 "Its not about how you feel, its about how you react to your feelings." this. this really touched me and opened my eyes up. feels like my whole life ive reacted off the first initial feeling instead of taking the time to let it bypass to see how i should really react.
I graduated 3 days ago from high school. Even though I made it, that victory felt hollow. I’ve been depressed for about a month, lying in bed, not doing anything productive, replaying past experiences to pass the time. I felt trapped by my own emotions and failures. I felt that I didn’t accomplish as much as I could have, and that I should have put myself out there more than I did. After listening to this video, I took some time to reflect on myself. I am too afraid of changing, feeling as though I will mess it up. But maybe for once, I’ll let all the worries I let build up fall.
Stay strong. Life holds many opportunities, and if one passes, others await. They might seem minor, but they're valuable stepping stones. Consider going back to community college to gain skills and talents that will help you grow. You'll discover new aspects of yourself and emerge stronger and more capable. You are more than what you give yourself credit for!!! God Bless you
damn... the fact that you are thinking this deep at such an early age is great to hear. Im 34 and still have massive regrets from high school and college. My unasked advice would be to focus on the next stage of your life and dont worry about the past. Dont recreate the stuff you regret and do the opposite of it. Just my two cents.
Change is uncomfortable. Humans are naturally uncomfortable with change because it’s unknown. But the discomfort means we are pursuing a new path. And to grow we must change and be on new paths. Change is how we grow. The discomfort isn’t a bad thing. It’s a sign of change for the better. So embrace the change. Embrace the discomfort. It means you’re doing exactly what you need to.
I recently just had an abortion. Currently going through the process of Asking God to forgive me for not keeping my baby. But I just realized that the father just used me for the moment. and that I was allowing so much of the past and people in my life to use me and disrespect me. Just because i never had the experience of love from others properly. I’m 19. I’m on my own. and I’m figuring it out. After that experience. I want to start over. I want live and forgive myself and others of the past. I want to be okay with saying No for once and standing on it. I’m realizing if i’m not okay with it and don’t want it. I Can say No. I don’t have to do anything I don’t want to. I want to go to college. I want to be a psychologist. I want to be successful. I want to love and receive love properly. I just want new. I feel like i experienced this for a reason. To Open my eyes that I am capable of great things and I am capable of everything that God has for me. I’ve been in my head a lot lately. and I clearly seen this video for a reason. Thank you.❤️
You are truly forgiven when you believe you are forgiven. If you truly felt sorrow about it and asked God for forgiveness the only thing preventing you from being forgiven is your missing Faith that it takes to know God has redeemed you after prayer. Do not get stuck in the "guilt loop" if it's something you truly meant to God, because he knows your sincerity.
I love this comment, healing from things like this can feel damn near impossible, im really proud of you for standing up for your future, for your greater good, for what you want. Your life, your physical and mental being, belongs to no one but you. You are loved, and you are an inspiration.
Sending soo much love!! One day, you will realize it was the right decision for you and the baby's soul and trust me you deserve all the love and respect in the world. Just let go of everything and start over and help others along the way and the universe will reward you. Love yourself
Im 15 trying to grow myself as a person. In the past year ive changed the most in my life, putting myself out my comfort zone - going to the gym and becoming more social, trying to be the best version of myself and go down the right path. I find your videos very inspiring and enlightening. God bless you
You still young! Good work man and keep improving and growing. By the time you are older, youll be ahead and more focused. Especially in this world of distractions. You might be misunderstood during your HS years but thats a good thing it means you're doing sum different. Dont follow the crowd follow your heart man❤
you're still really young. One thing I always thought when I was your age was that I wasn't good enough or i didn't have enough invested in my hobbies or myself. I watched and read all sorts of self help. I didn't realize until recently that these feelings were due to the fact that I was so young and comparing myself to these influencers that are much older. You have 8-10hrs of your day taken up by school and sports. Just remember that if you ever feel like you aren't at such a level of development. I've changed so much from just when I was 18 and even more from when I was 16 and the person I was when I was 15 is a different person.
The algorithm is crazy, I needed this. It’s so refreshing to see people with high emotional intelligence sharing their perspectives. Congratulations on your channel 🥳 you definitely deserve it
"We get addicted to our past and keep looping it” "we relive those same experiences" this thing I learned in a video about how the body keeps the score. We react in aggressive or passive, damaging ways because we internally are reliving our past. It's a trauma response. A lot of what you talk about actually deals with our response to trauma. So interesting to see it all click. I've been living in my past for 2-7 years. A collection of events of who I was that I wanted to be, or events I didn't want to impact me.
“We have vacancies inside ourself and we fill it with our own inaction and previous experiences” … this is so profound and captured such a complex dynamic so clearly.. also thank u for the positivity towards just putting out your art out there! I’m an artist and it was nice to hear :)
investing in yourself is the most valuable thing you can do. Discipline is often misunderstood, but reading Bruce Thornwood's "Unveiling Your Hidden Potential" gave me the tools to build it and distinguish my mindset from others.
So happy to see some men beginning to share this kind of philosophical motivational content. Men definetly need more healthy male figures like you ! And you seem like a such sweet and mature person. Wish you the best and I’m so excited to see where this is going ✨💫
I really resonated too, you gotta treat yourself like a pregnant woman 😤 Let yourself take priority seating sometimes, be aware of your cravings (indulge if you have to) but most importantly be healthy so that you can help that new life flourish too.
"It's not how you feel, it's how you react to your feeling" 10/10 quote brother. I struggle with anger sometimes, thankfully I haven't lost all control and messed up too bad, but it's the letting go that probably the worst part. This really helped fr, not that I let go of everything, but it helped with a lot of it. Appreciate it peace!
You popped up on my page this morning & really spoke to me. Thank you for showing me that men who are spiritual & open minded exist who are around my age. I’m 24 and am hoping to meet my soul partner soon. So you give me hope. Thank you.
“You can’t be ashamed of loving yourself; allow yourself to change with the circumstance; let yourself flourish” So grateful for you and your channel 💗🙏🏼
Sometimes we stand at a crossroads where the hard thing for us is the right path, and the version of "ourselves" that shows up today has dodged that "right path" for as long as possible. It's that style of fear that keeps you in a comfort zone. I've butt up against this everyday for two years right now, and I've known the answer is to let the "me of today go" akin to this video's messaging but damn it's hard. I come back to this video to remind myself that the path is through the struggling to let myself go, but even then the message never breaks my skin. The road is long, and still there will be times to let go. I will continue to struggle and in doing so I hope this message one day feels so familiar that it becomes second nature. To anyone who can't commit to the message to let go, yet still feels deep in their heart that that's the answer I'm wishing you the best. The only way forward is through
This video almost made me cry. It came at the perfect time, and i couldn’t agree more. I’ll definitely continue watching, thank you for this message man. God bless you.
Your tonality and presence is comforting. I’m the oldest but hearing you articulate your words made me feel like I was listening to an older brother. Thank you for your wisdom
ur words are the perfect example of how I try to set my mind, self love letting urself go and appreciating the journey but I js never found the words. Mad respect for u bro🙏🏽🙏🏽
This vulnerability and honesty is something that is not seen much these days. I recognise your efforts and congratulate you on this. Thank you for the insightful video. Stay blessed my brother in Christ.
Exactly! What made me realize this was how samurai believed that they had to be prepared to die. They had to let themselves go. Because if they held onto their life, they would make more mistakes in combat than if they were ready to perish. Applying this thought to myself I realized I had to let go of my dream a little bit. Find a different approach. Be prepared to fail. This goes hand in hand with your video about going all in. Just let go of any doubt, just do whatever it is you want to do. If you want to be a youtuber, you don't need thousands of views. Just upload and put yourself in the mindset of a TH-camr. Be ready to accept its rewards. But you won't receive anything if you are not doing anything in the first place. I love what you're doing Profound Pondering! I want to make videos like these on my own channel. Keep it up!
it crazy how you’re still young having this realization, and is very self aware about how you’re still working on yourself. I’ve been going through this awareness/ spiritual journey since the fall of 22’ (22 yrs old). I relate so much. Everything in life is a lesson and you have to be grateful because everything is an experience. I typed a lot but the universe is crazy & beautiful at the same time.
Learning to let go of my past self for a better new life of myself feels like a new task in life , so simple but so hard to indulge oneself into it , great talk sir , highly appreciated this perspective.
Not sure if you or anyone will read this comment, but if someone that knows where I’m coming from and can relate, I want you to know that you’re not alone. I grew up with it just my mother and I. It has always been tough understanding myself and feeling comfortable in my own skin. I have always put God first but wanting to fit in has always been a downfall for me. Allowing myself to let go of my past self at each new threshold in my life has helped propel me to be someone I’m proud to be today. From a single-parent household living in section 8 and eating off food stamps to now I am exactly 6 months away from earning my doctorate in physical therapy. Wow, has it been a ride and I know I have so much growth ahead of me. Stay humble. Put your values/faith first. Always be true to yourself. Know when to let the parts of yourself go that feel need to change. Stay up 🙏🏻
ten months later and you're still helping people out man. ive been in the loop where i felt like i didnt deserve to move on and heal, that i must suffer from the consequences of my own actions. i dwelled on it so much. but what a blessing it is for me to not be guilty. it is as simple as that. ive also began to read becoming supernatural and it's been making me realize a lot of things about myself. highly recommend it anyone, whether you're healing or not. it's good to have those mental skills
"You can't be ashamed of loving yourself" I love that quote favorite part from the entire video. Never hate yourself for being who you are. If you hate a part of you just change but don't hate that you never did it because you learn from it, and you can make yourself stronger and better.
I’ve been in such a dark place for the past two years, really seeing myself disconnect from everything in my life and I rarely click on content without thought of the emotional weight it will carry. I’m so glad I clicked on this without a second thought, something in the universe knew I needed to hear this. I feel like things are starting to look up and you shared some really insightful words that have made a difference for me tonight. Thank you.
I came across this vid in a time where im 30 and realizing the world in front of me and now i want to really explore myself w/ change. And God allow things to happen for a reason which why i came across this vid. Thank you! 🙏🏾❤️🙌🏾
“You can’t replace a bad habit with abstinence” I feel like this is shown (nerd talk) in how energy can’t be created or destroyed but only transformed. We have to transform that energy we normally put into bad habits into something else. Something positive.
Each weekend I start to get depressed because I don't have a structure. I like playing music, going for walks and looking out to the ocean. After what you said, the first idea that came to my head was to bring my guitar to the ocean and just play for a while, so that's what i'm going to do. I've never done it before so I'm nervous but I'm going after I post this comment. I hope whoever reads this tries something new on the weekend too ❤
You popped up on my feed randomly today and it couldn’t have been better timing.. truly divine timing. Im going thru a lot of shedding of old self literally had a breakdown yesterday. I’ve been on this journey for a long time since I was 20 and I’m now 31 and I always find the right teacher at the right time.Thank you for having the courage to share your thoughts,feelings and positivity 💚
I never comment on anything out of discomfort of being vocal on social platforms, but this video was too beautiful to allow discomfort to get in the way of giving this video the credit it deserves. I was taught so much I had to rewatch a few times and every time I had a new phrase to hold on to and shift my perspective. What a great and beautiful mind
Wow. I woke up super early in my home in the E.U. this video popped up in my TH-cam feed. Almost like I was ready so the teacher appeared. The teacher is a young man who could be my grandson. I am from the U.S. and made a lot of life changes these past two years. A lot of letting go of my past, toxic relationships, my horrendously toxic childhood, my relatives who remain stuck in a toxic life loop, and I started loving myself enough to try something new with my life, to move in a new direction. This meant moving out of my comfort zone of trying to save everyone in my life. So I moved. But that old reel of me, those old resentments, the grief of who I had to leave behind and why-kept playing over and over in my head and heart. I was on a hamster wheel and didn’t know it. Until I watched this video. Thank you, young man. Thank you. 🙏🏽
I was praying (I’m Christian) and I decided to open up TH-cam to look for a song. This was the first video that popped up and it describes what I’m going through right now perfectly. Thank you for sharing, it takes courage and that’s awesome
exact same thing for me man, yesterday his video popped up about going all in. I confessed the other day at church, and after everything God showed me last night it was all related to my confession. I immediately dropped and started praying and thanking God.
Man wtf. I’m literally tripping out so bad rn. I was outside praying to god about changing my smoking habits. I cried and all. Once I came in the house to eat I when on TH-cam to find something and he popped up. Now I’m seeing both of your comments. Everything happens for a reason….life is scary but I’m Gods strongest soldier.
@@ItsSnipes- Its been 2 weeks since you commented but I hope your doing better, God always has a better purpose and a plan, God says,in 1 Peter 5:8" Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." Fight through your addiction and put all of your stress and anxiety on him, let him help you and better yourself through him, he made you see this video for a reason. I really hope your doing well man.
I’ve been struggling with living in the past for way too long. It played in my head on repeat so I feel like I need to watch this as a reminder. Thank you
“Maybe your passion was obtainable” I can tell you are a very self intuitive person. I came across your video & needed to hear it more than I thought. Thank you🩷
I myself struggle, the thought of changing seems impossible. I’m 24 now and I still feel exactly how I did when I was 19. Struggling everyday to change not just for myself but for my son because I know I’m capable of more in this life. Just like the greatest among us
I’m 26 now and still feel how I did when I was 22-23 it’s like I keep holding on to the fact that I’m actually getting older and I keep trying to go back in my mind to those ages feeling like damn I was in my head at that age for no reason and I wanna go back idk I can’t explain it
I find myself struggling to let go of my past self, seeing that all my past experiences have made me who I am. When I'm looking at how I react to certain feelings, I can see the me as a little kid react to them. It is hard to let go of the old you. Like you said, it does feel addictive because of the comfort it brings, knowing that you know the outcome and that there will not be bad surprises. And when I think I've let go, I find myself having to do the same work all over again. And I think it's because life is a cycle, things go up and down again constantly. That's also what makes it beautiful. "Light is only in reference to dark." Thank you for your amazing and inspiring videos.
thank you so much, i'm at a time in my life where i can't help but drift and think of what i've done or could've done. as well as thinking and hating who i was and still am right now. hearing "Cut the old version of yourself off to the point where there's new life inside of you". i really needed to hear this thank you
“allow yourself to change with the circumstance” this was it for me! a life mantra of mine is to flow like water! we are ever evolving beings! change is constant. as change flows around us we must change as well to stay in flow! stagnancy disrupts our flow. it disrupts our evolution. so we must flow! thank you for the vid!
“but your betterment?” when you were talking about shame really got me!!!! Wow I’m so moved and I honestly can’t express how beautiful this video is, how much change you’re words are causing !!! Thank you SO much
i usually never comment on videos, but this video was incredible. You really touched me deep in my soul and brought tears. You are extremly articulate and I admire your reflectivnes and ability to be vulnerable and accept change. I am so glad that i came across this video
I never comment on posts , videos , reels , or whatever . but seeing this video was something i really needed . ive been struggling emotionally and socially and all i ever thought about was being better , i feel so lost and negative about myself . this video enlightened me and it may seem small , but commenting this gives me the courage to “let myself go” . i’ll flourish , i’ll give myself the life i deserve . thank you .
Legitimately the first person I've been able to connect with on this topic, and I'll never even know you. You are a blessing my man, I'm grateful to know I'm not the only person that thinks this way
Appreciate you’re message. Recently made the first step and decided I am no longer running from who I am. It’s been a very uncomfortable process but hearing this really helps me in comforting myself.
Thank you for this, I'm 20 and now starting to take the first step into putting myself out there, comfortable with myself, and try to show my love to others🙏🏼"Let yourself Flourish, Let yourself Develope."
I'm not gonna lie. I love the way you approach things and the enigma you give off. I have this weird thing where, I get sucked into thinking that the person speaking is being too "dramatic" and takes me out of actually trying to take in if that makes sense (?) You come off as super real and literally stating your knowledge. Appreciate you!
This showed up when I needed it the most. I’ve been feeling very disconnected from myself recently because I haven’t been accepting the changes that’ve been going on within. You’ve reminded me of what’s important. Thank you for sharing this message😊
Bro I can’t lie my friend sent me this cause I was sitting here having a hard time and I was thinking ahhh another mf that I gotta listen to another dude that ain’t gonna do shit for me but I watched the full video and it got to me man your message hit bro I’m thankful my friend showed you to me and I thank you for having powerful words in my time of darkness thank you keep it up g❤️
thank you so much for all of the beautiful advice. I think that everyone that came across this video 100% needed to hear about letting ourselves go and how change if done right is beautiful. thank you.
I feel like I'm always stuck and never progressing as a person, I know to myself I'm mindful and knowledgable enough to know what I need to do, but it like I'm so comfortable with my spot and worried to lose that, at the same time I worry I'm not going to change and that's what I'm realizing is, I gotta move and let myself go, this video really set my mind to start, it opened and somehow pieced my mindset towards my change. Thankyou.
Brother I’m in the same position as you it’s all about consistency and discipline I know it’s easier said than done try setting a routine on a notebook and put a check mark next to it at the end of day and if you didn’t complete all of the tasks make sure it’s the first first thing you do when you start your day. Hope this helps!
I’m going through one of the hardest periods of my life. I’ve been down everyday, trying to hold on. Your words really speak to me. Thank you so much for this. Your light is spreading into the lives of many ❤️
I really needed this, I am going through this complete exact situation right now, I haven’t been able to let myself go, drained out, I was gonna head to sleep too but I came on here and this was the first video recommended to me.
“you have to be comfortable with yourself well your changing” wow. i had to pause the video to truly take a moment and reflect on that. thank you for your video.
you don’t find yourself, rather create yourself. This is your first time in this world there isn’t anything to find rather just create. create who you wanna be and let standards that’s been inflicted on you go and create who you truly are. This is your world and yours alone
"You cant replace a bad habit with abstinence, you have to fill it with something good" thats a word. I really needed to hear that
Me too.
same
I had to pause the video and sit with that. I needed that too, so bad
literally
At 18 years old I replaced opioids/heroin with God ❤ I’ve never regretted that.
"Cut the old version of yourself off to the point where there's new life inside of you" utterly beautiful.
You can only do that in Christ. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17 🔥

Stay strong you’re not the only one! God bless 🙏🏽
Do you wanna be friends so we can talk about our progress? On ig maybe
Your very inspiring
I never comment on anyone's videos, but this made me cry at work at 8 AM. I've been struggling to find meaning or light in anything anymore, but your thoughts made me want to at least try to find it again. The last big piece of advice of "cut yourself off to the point where there's new life inside of you" was so beautifully put and is something I need to work toward. Also, your smile is infectious, I love it!
Thank you
Changing paths ≠ Giving up. That's a lesson I've been slowly learning these past couple months.
Yea 100% , it definitely takes getting used to that feeling. Almost like it's Guilt.
Can u elaborate?

Yes man , my brother was trying to tell me this the whole time and i wasn’t listening at first , me and him now currently learned about real estate and everyone been telling me “get a regular job” “jurt get another job for now” and it sucks yes but i don’t wanna quit this , i know the benefit and the success that will come out of real estate . my promise to you and everyone else whether i know y’all or not . is that i will see major success this year from this new career path , and i promise you will see success as long as you stay consistent and persistent ❤️
‘’not about your feelings but how you react to them” that’s GOLD bro. Thanks for the reminder. Keep sharing with us.
Facts, my dad aslo told me that
fact
" Negative thought, you're constantly thinking these negative thoughts over and over again. They have to be combated by something or replaced by something. You can't replace a bad habit with absence. You have to fill it in with something good."
Thank You.
“It’s not about how you feel, it’s about how you react to those feelings” some great advice to start my day.

Insane wisdom. Just subscribed.
i told someone recently that i feel like i am always running away from myself, TOWARDS myself. i don’t know why i run when i know i’m looking for me.
@@floristfindspeaceI think we run bcs it’s in our nature yk fight or fight type of thing
Frl. Thats why i had to stop saying I’ve got to “find myself” because in reality our true self is that sin nature that we were born with. So its important that we find God within ourselves instead
@@Money_eraNot me personally I was raised Christian and it fucked me up for a long time. Happy to be atheist and on my own path of discovery and inner understanding these days.

"Let me prove myself wrong" just feels like a direct hit, when everyone around you battles to assert their truce without testing it
Internet if used properly is the greatest blessing of our generation. I was feeling down these days, and suddenly this video popped out on my feed at the right time. Man it was wonderful listening every single minute of it. God bless you king 👑

“You cant be ashamed of loving yourself” so many thoughts I had…one sentence. Thank you ❤️
so so good
I recently realized that I allowed other people to be in the driver seat of my own life. Being afraid that the things I wanted were unattainable, even doubting that God could take me there. I’m in a space where I’m feeling a lot of conviction about doing certain things but still fearful, a space where I know I have to let go of certain people. So many things changing all at once. I know my options are to stay stagnant or to go into these uncomfortable spaces. I asked God for these things not really knowing what came with it but, I also believe I am meant to be in this current season. Thank you for the encouragement, and for sharing your own experience 🙏🏾
Whew you not the only one. Thanks for saying it because I just couldn’t find the best way to🙏🏾
being able to relate to every word of this reminds me how real God is

You know when a video comes across your feed randomly and you know you’re meant to watch it? This was it for me. Genuinely, the way you speak and the way you articulate your thoughts, is incredible. I see so much content each day but there are so few people that have a certain kind of resonance, and you definitely have it. Much love from Australia
Wow, thank you
“We are running from the part of ourselves that need to heal from certain things” I literally broke down sobbing. I am definitely writing this down in my journal.
I come from a place where I was told I "talk white" and as I grew older, I starved myself of knowledge to be social with that same group. It is so refreshing seeing another well spoken brother. Young black men need to know more than one type of role model. Keep being you bro.
"talking white" I hate this world like that's so stupid, everybody's gonna talk about where they grew up who gaf they need to mind they business
Relatable :/
yo this is fucked up, these people are some brainless losers omg they just couldn’t comprehend talking to a good moral man like you who has his shit straight. I hope you find more like minded people like yourself
1:30 Your thoughts become your actions, your actions become you.
We need to get rid of the word manifestation because it’s confusing so many young people, becoming superstitious about it.
it’s truly your thinking that leads into your actions that make you who you are.
This is a well out video, fantastic job man seriously
Manifestation is the right word. It’s just being used wrong. We manifest nothing, our outer world manifests itself into who we are on our inside
have u read the law of attraction?
True I feel like it’s a fancy word and some use it as a way to excuse wishful thinking. But the original definition. It was about acknowledging how your thoughts become you.
so ur telling me if I’m gon think I’m happy I’ll be happy and other people will do happy things with me, now tell me why this never happened despite me always being kind and happy with people and myself. People always disappoint me always. I can’t trust what that actually want, majority of em always take advantage of my kindness and are bunch of narcissistic mfs I can’t bro. Why aren’t other people doing this? Why are all them such bad people what is going on why am I trying so hard to be a good person when nobody wanna be that way towards me, like this is frustrating I’m always getting used ☹️☹️
@@stacey9377the world is a terrible place filled with terrible people. At the same time, it's filled with good people. Sometimes the world won't always return the good we give to it. The saying that goes, "if you can't beat them, join them" is a fact, but I believe that instead of becoming what you hate most, you could learn from the mistakes you've made and build yourself and your confidence in a way that when those dangers return, you stand your ground and face it head on. If you notice you can't do anything about it, move on with your life and focus on the other task at hand. If you're always trying to please everyone, you'll get hurt a lot of times. Not everyone will accept your good and that's fine. Naturally, those people may or may not conform to your will. This way, you don't become a bad person rather you inculcate techniques of dealing with bad people whenever they come your way.
When I see black men able to express themselves, let themselves grow and live creatively I know everything’s gonna be alright, thank you.
Your energy is refreshing. Wish you nothing but love and light.
Thank you
“We get addicted to our past and keep looping it” damn I feel this 💔 especially when I’m goin thru tough experiences like why am I torturing myself by staying the same and miserable? Why can’t I start changing

Woke up with the feeling of hate toward myself , every single word of this video was needed may Allah bless you helping with kind words
12:02 "Its not about how you feel, its about how you react to your feelings." this. this really touched me and opened my eyes up. feels like my whole life ive reacted off the first initial feeling instead of taking the time to let it bypass to see how i should really react.
I graduated 3 days ago from high school. Even though I made it, that victory felt hollow. I’ve been depressed for about a month, lying in bed, not doing anything productive, replaying past experiences to pass the time. I felt trapped by my own emotions and failures. I felt that I didn’t accomplish as much as I could have, and that I should have put myself out there more than I did. After listening to this video, I took some time to reflect on myself. I am too afraid of changing, feeling as though I will mess it up. But maybe for once, I’ll let all the worries I let build up fall.
Stay strong. Life holds many opportunities, and if one passes, others await. They might seem minor, but they're valuable stepping stones. Consider going back to community college to gain skills and talents that will help you grow. You'll discover new aspects of yourself and emerge stronger and more capable. You are more than what you give yourself credit for!!! God Bless you
damn... the fact that you are thinking this deep at such an early age is great to hear. Im 34 and still have massive regrets from high school and college. My unasked advice would be to focus on the next stage of your life and dont worry about the past. Dont recreate the stuff you regret and do the opposite of it. Just my two cents.
Change is uncomfortable. Humans are naturally uncomfortable with change because it’s unknown. But the discomfort means we are pursuing a new path. And to grow we must change and be on new paths. Change is how we grow. The discomfort isn’t a bad thing. It’s a sign of change for the better. So embrace the change. Embrace the discomfort. It means you’re doing exactly what you need to.
Early bird gets the worm. Self awareness is rare and so important.
Go to a bookstore and find a good read.
Very healing I promise!!
Life just started for you I dropped in 10th grade and got GED missed all my highschool memories wish I had em now
I recently just had an abortion. Currently going through the process of Asking God to forgive me for not keeping my baby. But I just realized that the father just used me for the moment. and that I was allowing so much of the past and people in my life to use me and disrespect me. Just because i never had the experience of love from others properly. I’m 19. I’m on my own. and I’m figuring it out. After that experience. I want to start over. I want live and forgive myself and others of the past. I want to be okay with saying No for once and standing on it. I’m realizing if i’m not okay with it and don’t want it. I Can say No. I don’t have to do anything I don’t want to. I want to go to college. I want to be a psychologist. I want to be successful. I want to love and receive love properly. I just want new. I feel like i experienced this for a reason. To Open my eyes that I am capable of great things and I am capable of everything that God has for me. I’ve been in my head a lot lately. and I clearly seen this video for a reason. Thank you.❤️
You are truly forgiven when you believe you are forgiven. If you truly felt sorrow about it and asked God for forgiveness the only thing preventing you from being forgiven is your missing Faith that it takes to know God has redeemed you after prayer. Do not get stuck in the "guilt loop" if it's something you truly meant to God, because he knows your sincerity.
I love this comment, healing from things like this can feel damn near impossible, im really proud of you for standing up for your future, for your greater good, for what you want. Your life, your physical and mental being, belongs to no one but you. You are loved, and you are an inspiration.
respect these words and your actions were so valid! take care!!
Sending soo much love!! One day, you will realize it was the right decision for you and the baby's soul and trust me you deserve all the love and respect in the world. Just let go of everything and start over and help others along the way and the universe will reward you. Love yourself
You need no forgiveness from God for your abortion, friend. You did not end a baby's life. Dont worry about that. :)
Im 15 trying to grow myself as a person. In the past year ive changed the most in my life, putting myself out my comfort zone - going to the gym and becoming more social, trying to be the best version of myself and go down the right path. I find your videos very inspiring and enlightening. God bless you
You still young! Good work man and keep improving and growing. By the time you are older, youll be ahead and more focused. Especially in this world of distractions. You might be misunderstood during your HS years but thats a good thing it means you're doing sum different. Dont follow the crowd follow your heart man❤
you're still really young. One thing I always thought when I was your age was that I wasn't good enough or i didn't have enough invested in my hobbies or myself. I watched and read all sorts of self help. I didn't realize until recently that these feelings were due to the fact that I was so young and comparing myself to these influencers that are much older. You have 8-10hrs of your day taken up by school and sports. Just remember that if you ever feel like you aren't at such a level of development. I've changed so much from just when I was 18 and even more from when I was 16 and the person I was when I was 15 is a different person.
Maaaan I wish I had that realization earlier. I only started to better myself at 18 and the road ahead of me is long and winding...
@@villepakkanen4833 brudda don’t say it only started at 18 it don’t matter. Be happy it’s happening and that you are working to find yourself. Love❤

The algorithm is crazy, I needed this. It’s so refreshing to see people with high emotional intelligence sharing their perspectives. Congratulations on your channel 🥳 you definitely deserve it
forget the identity, consistency will reveal your true identity
"We get addicted to our past and keep looping it” "we relive those same experiences" this thing I learned in a video about how the body keeps the score. We react in aggressive or passive, damaging ways because we internally are reliving our past. It's a trauma response. A lot of what you talk about actually deals with our response to trauma. So interesting to see it all click. I've been living in my past for 2-7 years. A collection of events of who I was that I wanted to be, or events I didn't want to impact me.
“We have vacancies inside ourself and we fill it with our own inaction and previous experiences” … this is so profound and captured such a complex dynamic so clearly.. also thank u for the positivity towards just putting out your art out there! I’m an artist and it was nice to hear :)

investing in yourself is the most valuable thing you can do. Discipline is often misunderstood, but reading Bruce Thornwood's "Unveiling Your Hidden Potential" gave me the tools to build it and distinguish my mindset from others.

Sometimes we stand at a crossroads where the hard thing for us is the right path, and the version of "ourselves" that shows up today has dodged that "right path" for as long as possible. It's that style of fear that keeps you in a comfort zone. I've butt up against this everyday for two years right now, and I've known the answer is to let the "me of today go" akin to this video's messaging but damn it's hard.
I come back to this video to remind myself that the path is through the struggling to let myself go, but even then the message never breaks my skin. The road is long, and still there will be times to let go. I will continue to struggle and in doing so I hope this message one day feels so familiar that it becomes second nature.
To anyone who can't commit to the message to let go, yet still feels deep in their heart that that's the answer I'm wishing you the best. The only way forward is through
Real asf
This video almost made me cry. It came at the perfect time, and i couldn’t agree more. I’ll definitely continue watching, thank you for this message man. God bless you.
Your tonality and presence is comforting. I’m the oldest but hearing you articulate your words made me feel like I was listening to an older brother. Thank you for your wisdom
ur words are the perfect example of how I try to set my mind, self love letting urself go and appreciating the journey but I js never found the words. Mad respect for u bro🙏🏽🙏🏽
“You can’t replace a bad habit with absence, you have to fill it in with something good. ” thankyou bro.
It's really nice when you hear someone else speaking the same thoughts that run through your head, it so refreshing
This vulnerability and honesty is something that is not seen much these days. I recognise your efforts and congratulate you on this. Thank you for the insightful video. Stay blessed my brother in Christ.
Exactly! What made me realize this was how samurai believed that they had to be prepared to die. They had to let themselves go. Because if they held onto their life, they would make more mistakes in combat than if they were ready to perish. Applying this thought to myself I realized I had to let go of my dream a little bit. Find a different approach. Be prepared to fail. This goes hand in hand with your video about going all in. Just let go of any doubt, just do whatever it is you want to do. If you want to be a youtuber, you don't need thousands of views. Just upload and put yourself in the mindset of a TH-camr. Be ready to accept its rewards. But you won't receive anything if you are not doing anything in the first place. I love what you're doing Profound Pondering! I want to make videos like these on my own channel. Keep it up!
it crazy how you’re still young having this realization, and is very self aware about how you’re still working on yourself. I’ve been going through this awareness/ spiritual journey since the fall of 22’ (22 yrs old). I relate so much. Everything in life is a lesson and you have to be grateful because everything is an experience. I typed a lot but the universe is crazy & beautiful at the same time.
Learning to let go of my past self for a better new life of myself feels like a new task in life , so simple but so hard to indulge oneself into it , great talk sir , highly appreciated this perspective.
Not sure if you or anyone will read this comment, but if someone that knows where I’m coming from and can relate, I want you to know that you’re not alone. I grew up with it just my mother and I. It has always been tough understanding myself and feeling comfortable in my own skin. I have always put God first but wanting to fit in has always been a downfall for me. Allowing myself to let go of my past self at each new threshold in my life has helped propel me to be someone I’m proud to be today. From a single-parent household living in section 8 and eating off food stamps to now I am exactly 6 months away from earning my doctorate in physical therapy. Wow, has it been a ride and I know I have so much growth ahead of me. Stay humble. Put your values/faith first. Always be true to yourself. Know when to let the parts of yourself go that feel need to change. Stay up 🙏🏻
I used to be afraid of the fact that I'd lose who I was, but thanks to you, I can accept that, I can accept growth
ten months later and you're still helping people out man. ive been in the loop where i felt like i didnt deserve to move on and heal, that i must suffer from the consequences of my own actions. i dwelled on it so much. but what a blessing it is for me to not be guilty. it is as simple as that.
ive also began to read becoming supernatural and it's been making me realize a lot of things about myself. highly recommend it anyone, whether you're healing or not. it's good to have those mental skills
"You can't be ashamed of loving yourself" I love that quote favorite part from the entire video. Never hate yourself for being who you are. If you hate a part of you just change but don't hate that you never did it because you learn from it, and you can make yourself stronger and better.
I’ve been in such a dark place for the past two years, really seeing myself disconnect from everything in my life and I rarely click on content without thought of the emotional weight it will carry. I’m so glad I clicked on this without a second thought, something in the universe knew I needed to hear this. I feel like things are starting to look up and you shared some really insightful words that have made a difference for me tonight. Thank you.
2 months later and things are a lot sunnier :))
Poetic words! This definitely strikes a cord with many, including me. May you fulfill beyond your dreams and more!
“Loving yourself some much everything you see everything you interact with is an exemplar of that love” great one
do you know what’s wild? i literally want nothing more than exactly this, but i run from it. i don’t entirely understand why.
You deserve to be growing at the pace you have been. The videos are super uplifting.
"You can't be ashamed of loving yourself." You are truly a walking beauty, my friend. I truly needed this.

“You can’t replace a bad habit with abstinence” I feel like this is shown (nerd talk) in how energy can’t be created or destroyed but only transformed. We have to transform that energy we normally put into bad habits into something else. Something positive.
Yes!
Each weekend I start to get depressed because I don't have a structure. I like playing music, going for walks and looking out to the ocean. After what you said, the first idea that came to my head was to bring my guitar to the ocean and just play for a while, so that's what i'm going to do. I've never done it before so I'm nervous but I'm going after I post this comment. I hope whoever reads this tries something new on the weekend too ❤
You popped up on my feed randomly today and it couldn’t have been better timing.. truly divine timing. Im going thru a lot of shedding of old self literally had a breakdown yesterday. I’ve been on this journey for a long time since I was 20 and I’m now 31 and I always find the right teacher at the right time.Thank you for having the courage to share your thoughts,feelings and positivity 💚
I never comment on anything out of discomfort of being vocal on social platforms, but this video was too beautiful to allow discomfort to get in the way of giving this video the credit it deserves. I was taught so much I had to rewatch a few times and every time I had a new phrase to hold on to and shift my perspective. What a great and beautiful mind
Wow. I woke up super early in my home in the E.U. this video popped up in my TH-cam feed. Almost like I was ready so the teacher appeared. The teacher is a young man who could be my grandson. I am from the U.S. and made a lot of life changes these past two years. A lot of letting go of my past, toxic relationships, my horrendously toxic childhood, my relatives who remain stuck in a toxic life loop, and I started loving myself enough to try something new with my life, to move in a new direction. This meant moving out of my comfort zone of trying to save everyone in my life. So I moved. But that old reel of me, those old resentments, the grief of who I had to leave behind and why-kept playing over and over in my head and heart. I was on a hamster wheel and didn’t know it. Until I watched this video. Thank you, young man. Thank you. 🙏🏽
Thank you
I was praying (I’m Christian) and I decided to open up TH-cam to look for a song. This was the first video that popped up and it describes what I’m going through right now perfectly. Thank you for sharing, it takes courage and that’s awesome
exact same thing for me man, yesterday his video popped up about going all in. I confessed the other day at church, and after everything God showed me last night it was all related to my confession. I immediately dropped and started praying and thanking God.
Man wtf. I’m literally tripping out so bad rn. I was outside praying to god about changing my smoking habits. I cried and all. Once I came in the house to eat I when on TH-cam to find something and he popped up. Now I’m seeing both of your comments. Everything happens for a reason….life is scary but I’m Gods strongest soldier.

“Maybe your passion was obtainable” I can tell you are a very self intuitive person. I came across your video & needed to hear it more than I thought. Thank you🩷
I myself struggle, the thought of changing seems impossible. I’m 24 now and I still feel exactly how I did when I was 19. Struggling everyday to change not just for myself but for my son because I know I’m capable of more in this life. Just like the greatest among us
I’m 26 now and still feel how I did when I was 22-23 it’s like I keep holding on to the fact that I’m actually getting older and I keep trying to go back in my mind to those ages feeling like damn I was in my head at that age for no reason and I wanna go back idk I can’t explain it
I find myself struggling to let go of my past self, seeing that all my past experiences have made me who I am. When I'm looking at how I react to certain feelings, I can see the me as a little kid react to them. It is hard to let go of the old you. Like you said, it does feel addictive because of the comfort it brings, knowing that you know the outcome and that there will not be bad surprises. And when I think I've let go, I find myself having to do the same work all over again. And I think it's because life is a cycle, things go up and down again constantly. That's also what makes it beautiful. "Light is only in reference to dark." Thank you for your amazing and inspiring videos.
thank you so much, i'm at a time in my life where i can't help but drift and think of what i've done or could've done. as well as thinking and hating who i was and still am right now. hearing "Cut the old version of yourself off to the point where there's new life inside of you". i really needed to hear this thank you
We will all become supernatural this year 🙏🏽💯
No, we must try to become who we are meant to be, namely, in communion with God.
We are to become as human as we possibly can.
“allow yourself to change with the circumstance” this was it for me! a life mantra of mine is to flow like water! we are ever evolving beings! change is constant. as change flows around us we must change as well to stay in flow! stagnancy disrupts our flow. it disrupts our evolution. so we must flow!
thank you for the vid!
“but your betterment?” when you were talking about shame really got me!!!! Wow I’m so moved and I honestly can’t express how beautiful this video is, how much change you’re words are causing !!! Thank you SO much

Glad you commented! You matter
I never comment on posts , videos , reels , or whatever . but seeing this video was something i really needed . ive been struggling emotionally and socially and all i ever thought about was being better , i feel so lost and negative about myself . this video enlightened me and it may seem small , but commenting this gives me the courage to “let myself go” . i’ll flourish , i’ll give myself the life i deserve . thank you .

Appreciate you’re message. Recently made the first step and decided I am no longer running from who I am. It’s been a very uncomfortable process but hearing this really helps me in comforting myself.
I developed this mindset a long time ago without knowing how to articule it THIS well.
Thank you for this, I'm 20 and now starting to take the first step into putting myself out there, comfortable with myself, and try to show my love to others🙏🏼"Let yourself Flourish, Let yourself Develope."
I'm not gonna lie. I love the way you approach things and the enigma you give off. I have this weird thing where, I get sucked into thinking that the person speaking is being too "dramatic" and takes me out of actually trying to take in if that makes sense (?) You come off as super real and literally stating your knowledge. Appreciate you!
hope you doing good man, you’re helping so many people not feel alone and allowing them to relate
Every part of this resonates man. I just sat, listened, and meditated. Thank you for sharing!
He is so cute & emotionally intelligent and very self aware. I love to see it
"Also being conscious and mindful of the consequences of your actions" hit different
This showed up when I needed it the most. I’ve been feeling very disconnected from myself recently because I haven’t been accepting the changes that’ve been going on within. You’ve reminded me of what’s important. Thank you for sharing this message😊
Bro I can’t lie my friend sent me this cause I was sitting here having a hard time and I was thinking ahhh another mf that I gotta listen to another dude that ain’t gonna do shit for me but I watched the full video and it got to me man your message hit bro I’m thankful my friend showed you to me and I thank you for having powerful words in my time of darkness thank you keep it up g❤️
Thanks man I’m glad it helped
thank you so much for all of the beautiful advice. I think that everyone that came across this video 100% needed to hear about letting ourselves go and how change if done right is beautiful. thank you.
I feel like I'm always stuck and never progressing as a person, I know to myself I'm mindful and knowledgable enough to know what I need to do, but it like I'm so comfortable with my spot and worried to lose that, at the same time I worry I'm not going to change and that's what I'm realizing is, I gotta move and let myself go, this video really set my mind to start, it opened and somehow pieced my mindset towards my change. Thankyou.
Brother I’m in the same position as you it’s all about consistency and discipline I know it’s easier said than done try setting a routine on a notebook and put a check mark next to it at the end of day and if you didn’t complete all of the tasks make sure it’s the first first thing you do when you start your day. Hope this helps!
I’m going through one of the hardest periods of my life. I’ve been down everyday, trying to hold on. Your words really speak to me. Thank you so much for this. Your light is spreading into the lives of many ❤️
You don't know what you've done for me here... From the bottom of my heart . THANK YOU
I really needed this, I am going through this complete exact situation right now, I haven’t been able to let myself go, drained out, I was gonna head to sleep too but I came on here and this was the first video recommended to me.
“you have to be comfortable with yourself well your changing” wow. i had to pause the video to truly take a moment and reflect on that. thank you for your video.
you don’t find yourself, rather create yourself. This is your first time in this world there isn’t anything to find rather just create. create who you wanna be and let standards that’s been inflicted on you go and create who you truly are. This is your world and yours alone
