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 ❤️
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. ❤️

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 👑
“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
"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.
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 👍
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
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
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.
Thank you man. I’m going sober tomorrow and I really needed this. I’ve been telling myself that I’ll struggle, that’s why I haven’t quit. But real talk, so did Jesus. If he struggled so bad for us then what’s my excuse right? God is real but so is the devil. I’m taking this step and this was my gateway into this path. Thank you man. Seriously.
“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 💗🙏🏼
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 🙏🏻

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.

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.
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.
your personality and mindset amazes me. i’m so happy to hear how you’ve grown and changed. this video fr has me in tears because i just want to be where you’re at and have this mindset. thank you for sharing, and i hope you continue to.
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
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.
This just came on my feed. And I’ve been struggling a lot cannot not even lie. Weather I like saying that or not. This video has had a great affect on me so far. Thank you for this
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! 🙏🏾❤️🙌🏾
I appriciate you. doing hella for us out here, basically being a teacher for everyone in a relatable way and your relatability to us is what really resonates. keep doing what youre doing
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!
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
I listened to the entire thing and i really appreciate you what you said along the lines of sometimes the things that are holding you back are the things your trying to run away from, and how you need to dwell on those feelings to lay them to rest. That really hit me hard because i personally have been running away from all this built up trauma and i am now just realizing that its killing me and also hindering me from being who i want to be with others and especially loved ones. Thank you for posting this video
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
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 💚
Great speech about being positive unto yourself. Its something i have slowly been trying to allow into my life. Trying to understand how to get over feeling ashamed of something i did even while still working on it. Thank you.
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.
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😊
This video was a blessing to my recommendations. I had just gotten done journaling myself that I needed to make change and forget my self destructive routines. One of my biggest fears was that changing would drive people away. Or that it would be weird to suddenly pivot my state of mind after acting a certain way for so long. You are totally right and thank you so much for being vulnerable to give people the message for how they can change. That it’s necessary to grow, and necessary to leave behind that old version of yourself to finally move on and face our problems. I hope your journey takes you far! You deserve all the best!
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 really bring something to this world thankyou for spreading your message. As well as helping me I hope it’s helping yourself and other people. I tell people things I want to hear but we really are precious and need to appreciate ourselves more. 1 life don’t hold back. I just watched 1 vid of yours and almost cried mainly because I didn’t realise how many people have the same thoughts as me, i worry about being normal there is no normal. I want to be strong enough mentally to get through these hard days I feel so weak but I realise I need to get through this as much as it hurts.
I’m not subscribed to this channel and I don’t watch all of his content, but for some reason every time I’m feeling lost, down or flat out hopeless, one of his videos always happens to pop up on my home page. I take it as a sign for me to sit back and relax, listen and reflect on the things going on and really try understand myself. Your videos have helped me a lot and I love the content. Thank you!
“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 :)
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.
thanks for reassuring me that no matter how successful i become at something or do something, at least I took the step to try. sometimes that is the only line between regret and contentment!
This is the first TH-cam essay where I have listened to the whole thing for a while. No other tabs, I didn't check the comments, I was watching. It was really great. I have felt almost pulled through life the past year, a ton has changed, from stuff like my music tastes to my friends and social media. Every day, I felt like myself 2 weeks ago was cringe, annoying, or even a bad person. I've begun to see the light of actually controlling my life, instead of just holding on to whatever thing I have at the moment and thinking it's permanent or optimal. Thanks, this was great.
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 are the sweetest person and I’m so glad I found your channel. I’ve been trying to heal myself for a long time, those kind of videos just make me never give up, really appreciate for it!
i’ve really struggled with finally having to heal from trauma and change. i’ve found myself wanting to go back to previous behaviors as well. i’m still in the process of allowing myself to be comfortable in my changing stage and it’s hard but pushing through anxiety has been the key to showing myself i’m more than capable. watching this has made me feel so at peace with knowing that the things i’ve been feeling and experiencing are normal. thank you for this video! it’s gonna help so many people out here.❤
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 went back to old habits of opening closed doors back up into my life and i’ve been feeling ashamed in myself and like i ruined all my growth and healing especially tonight i’ve just been feeling empty and sad like i have nobody to depend on this video made me feel like i did thank you
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
I randomly came across this video and I’m currently in the process of changing old habits and trying to turn a new leaf, I started to cry just thinking about how I need to let go, this seriously helped open my eyes and I appreciate this video so much💜
This video is healing. Many months ago I went through a bad breakup. She was perfect. I’m young, and I’ve always had a fear of change and growing up, but she was just like me, childlike in nature. I recently found out she started drinking, and it triggered a wave of emotion. Seeing her grow up made me feel like I was the only one left, as if everyone else had grown up without me. I was upset that she had changed. I’m trying to confront the reality that time is going to pass, and that we’re all going to grow and change no matter what, and a lot of the wisdom you’ve shared has been helpful.
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.
the way you strung together ideas was awesome. the message in the video is exactly what i’ve been feeling but i didn’t know how to put it into words, thank you.
Aye man Ive been looping the same thoughts and reliving the same experiences for the first time and I've been too comfortable doing the bare minimum with myself and letting my self go in the wrong way - like you said "Its to easy to not do nothing". I gave into to my negativity and stopped my journey until today. You speaking on this topic has really helped me understand why Ive been like this for a yr and half now and today is the first time Ive cried and acknowledged how Im really feeling. Thank You Pro.
You are genuinely such a pure honest soul, I love hearing your perspective of your journey through life. Continue to push your self out of your comfort zone, continue to question your thoughts, continue creating. Because the world needs more people like you. May God bless you and guide you on your journey .🤍💐
It’s so refreshing to see and hear a grateful, thinking, feeling, smiling black man. One who is taking great strides to work on himself. Thank you for this
Brother your speaking on such a mindful level. I truly love to see others working and improving on there own personal life and sharing there understanding of it to help others. I wish you the best on your journey and hope you see many more years of helping others and yourself!
I feel like for so long i have been stagnant because i wont let go of old ways of coping. I thought going to college would help replace these urges but sometimes i fall back into them, and feel ashamed. What you're saying is resonating so much. i think I've always known what to do, but I've been too scared to follow through. Thank you 🙏🏼

"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.
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?

"Cut the old version of yourself off to the point where there's new life inside of you" utterly beautiful.
“It’s not about how you feel, it’s about how you react to those feelings” some great advice to start my day.

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.
@@JAD969 thank you🙏🏽all is good
It really made me shed a tear
your personality and mindset amazes me. i’m so happy to hear how you’ve grown and changed. this video fr has me in tears because i just want to be where you’re at and have this mindset. thank you for sharing, and i hope you continue to.
“Nothing is gonna change if nothing is gonna change” this made me better as a person and i used to procrastinate to the point i end up doing nothing.

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
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.
It's really nice when you hear someone else speaking the same thoughts that run through your head, it so refreshing
This just came on my feed. And I’ve been struggling a lot cannot not even lie. Weather I like saying that or not. This video has had a great affect on me so far. Thank you for this
W
You deserve to be growing at the pace you have been. The videos are super uplifting.
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! 🙏🏾❤️🙌🏾
I appriciate you. doing hella for us out here, basically being a teacher for everyone in a relatable way and your relatability to us is what really resonates. keep doing what youre doing
I really needed to hear all this man, I’m 19 and I feel so lost and in need of advice & guidance so I really appreciate this man
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!
its crazy how much you grew in a couple of days, shows how much value your videos bring to people, good job and thank you for the inspiration
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
I listened to the entire thing and i really appreciate you what you said along the lines of sometimes the things that are holding you back are the things your trying to run away from, and how you need to dwell on those feelings to lay them to rest. That really hit me hard because i personally have been running away from all this built up trauma and i am now just realizing that its killing me and also hindering me from being who i want to be with others and especially loved ones. Thank you for posting this video
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
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 💚
Great speech about being positive unto yourself. Its something i have slowly been trying to allow into my life. Trying to understand how to get over feeling ashamed of something i did even while still working on it. Thank you.
When people tell me they can’t change I always tell them, “if your mood can change then you can as well, you just got to embrace it”
"Theres new life inside of you." Really opened my eyes. Thank you. I feel so connected to you and myself right now
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.
I shed a small tear when he said that. just because of how excited i am for myself to see the end results of my goals i have to accomplish this year.
@@unlucky3029 you can do it!
@@esotericbeep5923 exactlyyy
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😊
I’ve been giving this advice to other people quite a lot the last few months but it’s so nice to be the recipient for once. Thank you man
This video was a blessing to my recommendations. I had just gotten done journaling myself that I needed to make change and forget my self destructive routines. One of my biggest fears was that changing would drive people away. Or that it would be weird to suddenly pivot my state of mind after acting a certain way for so long. You are totally right and thank you so much for being vulnerable to give people the message for how they can change. That it’s necessary to grow, and necessary to leave behind that old version of yourself to finally move on and face our problems.
I hope your journey takes you far! You deserve all the best!
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 really bring something to this world thankyou for spreading your message. As well as helping me I hope it’s helping yourself and other people. I tell people things I want to hear but we really are precious and need to appreciate ourselves more. 1 life don’t hold back. I just watched 1 vid of yours and almost cried mainly because I didn’t realise how many people have the same thoughts as me, i worry about being normal there is no normal. I want to be strong enough mentally to get through these hard days I feel so weak but I realise I need to get through this as much as it hurts.
this is the type of videos that really bring me a new chapter in my life, thanks a lot honestly
I’m not subscribed to this channel and I don’t watch all of his content, but for some reason every time I’m feeling lost, down or flat out hopeless, one of his videos always happens to pop up on my home page. I take it as a sign for me to sit back and relax, listen and reflect on the things going on and really try understand myself. Your videos have helped me a lot and I love the content. Thank you!
“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 :)
Me too 🙏🕊️
That’s a word!
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.
thanks for reassuring me that no matter how successful i become at something or do something, at least I took the step to try. sometimes that is the only line between regret and contentment!
This is the first TH-cam essay where I have listened to the whole thing for a while. No other tabs, I didn't check the comments, I was watching. It was really great. I have felt almost pulled through life the past year, a ton has changed, from stuff like my music tastes to my friends and social media. Every day, I felt like myself 2 weeks ago was cringe, annoying, or even a bad person. I've begun to see the light of actually controlling my life, instead of just holding on to whatever thing I have at the moment and thinking it's permanent or optimal. Thanks, this was great.
This popped up as soon as I opened TH-cam and I didn’t know how much I needed to hear this until I heard this
Thank you for sharing!
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.
Same girl!
Hope you meet your perfect partner soon 😊 Have a great day
You are the sweetest person and I’m so glad I found your channel. I’ve been trying to heal myself for a long time, those kind of videos just make me never give up, really appreciate for it!
Thank you. Thank you for putting this out there. It’s changing more people than you could ever think.
Every part of this resonates man. I just sat, listened, and meditated. Thank you for sharing!
The universe connected me to this message right when I needed it 🤍 sending you more love & light right back at ya brother
i’ve really struggled with finally having to heal from trauma and change. i’ve found myself wanting to go back to previous behaviors as well. i’m still in the process of allowing myself to be comfortable in my changing stage and it’s hard but pushing through anxiety has been the key to showing myself i’m more than capable. watching this has made me feel so at peace with knowing that the things i’ve been feeling and experiencing are normal. thank you for this video! it’s gonna help so many people out here.❤
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 went back to old habits of opening closed doors back up into my life and i’ve been feeling ashamed in myself and like i ruined all my growth and healing
especially tonight i’ve just been feeling empty and sad like i have nobody to depend on
this video made me feel like i did thank you
I think the finding yourself and the change thing it goes hand in hand and I think just accepting yourself at every step along the way is a good key
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
this video popped up right when i needed it. thank you genuinely. don’t ever stop
You have to be your friend first. I love that part. Words of wisdom. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽
Thank YOU for your genuine presence. I am fighting myself to put my creative work out on social media. But you’re right, I just have to do it!
I randomly came across this video and I’m currently in the process of changing old habits and trying to turn a new leaf, I started to cry just thinking about how I need to let go, this seriously helped open my eyes and I appreciate this video so much💜
This video is healing. Many months ago I went through a bad breakup. She was perfect. I’m young, and I’ve always had a fear of change and growing up, but she was just like me, childlike in nature. I recently found out she started drinking, and it triggered a wave of emotion. Seeing her grow up made me feel like I was the only one left, as if everyone else had grown up without me. I was upset that she had changed. I’m trying to confront the reality that time is going to pass, and that we’re all going to grow and change no matter what, and a lot of the wisdom you’ve shared has been helpful.
You are a very smart and aware young man. I'm 35 and you are able to touch on topics that I have pondered all my life. Very inspirational, thanks!
I cried the whole video. Your mind is incredibly beautiful thank you for sharing 💜
Well said brother. Been feeling stuck within myself in certain aspects of my life but I needed this affirmation to keep pulling myself through.
“it’s not about how you feel, it’s about how you react to those feelings” man.
i love your energy i felt like you were inside my own room while speaking. so sincere and genuine.
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.
the way you strung together ideas was awesome. the message in the video is exactly what i’ve been feeling but i didn’t know how to put it into words, thank you.
Aye man Ive been looping the same thoughts and reliving the same experiences for the first time and I've been too comfortable doing the bare minimum with myself and letting my self go in the wrong way - like you said "Its to easy to not do nothing". I gave into to my negativity and stopped my journey until today. You speaking on this topic has really helped me understand why Ive been like this for a yr and half now and today is the first time Ive cried and acknowledged how Im really feeling. Thank You Pro.
“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 are genuinely such a pure honest soul, I love hearing your perspective of your journey through life. Continue to push your self out of your comfort zone, continue to question your thoughts, continue creating. Because the world needs more people like you. May God bless you and guide you on your journey .🤍💐
So glad I came across this video, I needed this reminder for myself. Love your mindset!
It’s so refreshing to see and hear a grateful, thinking, feeling, smiling black man. One who is taking great strides to work on himself. Thank you for this
Brother so happy I found your channel you have wisdom beyond your years my friend. As a young man it’s awesome to see guys my age thinking this way
beautiful choice of words. i’m a junior in high school and battling a lot with discovering/realizing what is good for me and what needs to be replaced
Brother your speaking on such a mindful level. I truly love to see others working and improving on there own personal life and sharing there understanding of it to help others. I wish you the best on your journey and hope you see many more years of helping others and yourself!
I feel like for so long i have been stagnant because i wont let go of old ways of coping. I thought going to college would help replace these urges but sometimes i fall back into them, and feel ashamed. What you're saying is resonating so much. i think I've always known what to do, but I've been too scared to follow through. Thank you 🙏🏼
ive been listening while I eat and ive really been able to soak in all the information and implement it in my life. keep the videos up man 👍
