aye man love the message, this type of stuff is good for young men everywhere but i would just say while i do agree with not being satisfied of who we are right now. It is also important that we take some time to reflect on how far you have come and be at peace with who you are at this moment. Life is short we may never see our “future”, God forbid so i feel it’s important to give yourself your flowers while you’re here. Be your best supporter and critic
23 years old (currently) when I realized I needed to be a man. Jumping job to job since 18. Living check to check at my parents house where I wasn’t charged rent so no real pressure on me. Driving the car my parents gave me, then when the insurance ran out I just drove my girls car. Then Living at my girls house for half a year. I one day looked at myself in the mirror & realized I was a loser. I got me a legit career job in sales and told myself ima get a car and my own place. That was 2 months ago. I just got my new car. Apartment is next.
“As a man, your biggest motivation is your future”. That statement hit deep because it’s so true for me. There’s light at the end of the tunnel just keep at it brothers
Yea yea, the problem is he meant that philosophy-wise, he wasn't talking to an international audience of financially disenfranchised young men in one of the most fatherless generations ever who lost THE most formative years of their lives to a worldwide pandemic, in the middle of the stupidest social studies research experiment ever called social media which has caused culture to flip sideways globally in most developed countries, during a mental health crysis that's only getting worse, while also no one's having sex which exacerbates a lot of the issues young men face at all facets. Listen, I ain't no doomer, not by a long shot. I'm a realist tilting towards optimist actually. But god damn you can't just ignore ALL that shit I said up there.
@@BusinessWolf1 Ain't no words that can fully express where i am from what i just then read up there, though i will stretch myself & say: Unapologetically & Worldly ingored Truce
Im 24 living paycheck to paycheck still has porn addiction never healed any childhood trauma and im the youngest in our family but no one taught me how to be man other than you. im not blaming them maybe they didnt know either. I learned the lesson on the hardest route. Thank you for acting like a brother to me. I know its a long way to go since i have so many issues but i know I’ll be better.
I’m 24 years old, and I'm leaving this comment so that whenever someone like this comment, I can return here to remind myself what it means to be a man.
I'm 20 years old, I'm Brazilian and i live in ireland, i took up residence in this country 6 months ago, I've been through a lot, i have seen a lot, i have learned a lot, but there's still a long way to go, i lost my job and i don't have money to pay rent, but nobody cares, nobody cares because everyone's got their own problems, watching this video made me realize that, watching this video made me realized that I'm still a boy, but it's time to man up, I'm going to make it, I'm going to thrive and be happy, so will you, so will us all. Thank you everyone who took the time to read this! Wish me luck on my journey
We need more like you. Not just black men or white men. Not just Christian men or theist men. We need GOOD men. Men who understand the fact that every circumstance is different, and that at the end of the day, no matter your roots, race, or religion, a man makes himself, and a man is only as good as his word and manners. How he treats others is simply a reflection of the man.
This is facts! every single word I couldn’t agree more. 🙏🏽 I’m grateful to be in this position and I hope to inspire more people and share this wisdom of God. Every situation is different, we all just need to make sure we’re never giving up and we’re all moving forward someway somehow. Thank you for your support. May God bless you.
Good point. Just because you follow a certain religion or culture does not mean you are a critical thinker. You have to figure things out for yourself and your own situation
@@Twizzyjr and a REAL atheist man can also be a good man, you clearly missed the point of the comment. A man is not determined by where he came from or what God he chooses to follow, but would instead be better judged solely on content of his character.
"I didnt listen to the haters, I didnt listen the nah sayers, I didnt even hear them cause I dont surround myself with them" deepest thing ive heard in a while
I’m 25 man and this shit is speaking to me. Can’t tell you how many times I fell down the dark path, and came back. I’m finding myself listening to this and I’m seeing hope again. I have a purpose, and it’s to better myself to be the best man possible
@@D.Dancer999 sometimes we have to create our own purpose. Life is too short to try and make sure everything is perfect. I think you need to look within and stop looking outward, you’ve seen this video and probably countless others, now it’s time to make real changes in your life You gotta change your habits in order to change your life
Im 25 as well one thing that helped me turn things around 180 was faith in god if ur not a beliver then i highly suggest looking for a relationship with our creator @D.Dancer999
Follow that purpose! It’s your light and the light never left you that’s why you can enter the darkness and make it back out to the light, because you are the light brother. I believe in you.
Beautiful video bro. Im 18 now, just graduated and working full time. And as I go on in life i realize a lot of the stuff my grandpa told me about life when I was younger is truth. Life and experience is the best teacher for everything
everyday on the stairmaster listening to this. this is my motivation, my affirmation for the day. there will never be another may 3, 2024. thank you bro
I realised i was a man when I was 20, I realised that no one is going to rescue me, one of the loneliest days of my life, but at the same time one of the real ones. Thanks for doing this videos dog, keep preaching the word, respect.
Mehn I don’t normally write comments on TH-cam especially about my feelings but truthfully I hate my self so much. Growing up I was a very ambitious person, I was so driven. I always planned out my future, my dream physique, my business… I was a hussler but I always failed to stick to my plan. I lack consistency and discipline. Now I found my self at my lowest drained in regrets. I’m turning 22 in 4 months and i am at my lowest point financially mentally physically…let alone be where I want to be. It hurts! To whomever seeing this, please stick to your plans. Please be active. Please work on your goals. Cause trust me it hurts. Don’t fall for temptation please boys. Trust me, let my life be a lesson for you all!
Im in the same boat man. My vision is so blurred. Im stuck smoking everyday stuck in a cycle. working 9-5 monotony. sometimes i wake up with no purpose no drive and negative feelings.
Wejoow I’m in the same boat guys. I resonate so much with your stories. Get to know Jesus guys, it will transform your life and addictions. Love y’all ❤
hey man, i just wanted to type this out to say it’s never too late to be the person you want to be. you only get one life so achieve your dreams and make who you are proud of the person you’ll be in a couple of years, even in a couple of months. i truly do believe in you. you are loved and you can do anything you set your mind too. GET THAT SHIT BROTHA
I’m a woman, not sure how I got here haha but I still clicked the video and you are truly a man of God this was a beautiful word I think everyone can apply to their lives. Love the way the Lord is using you
10:49 "every moment i'm awake, i'm just trying to figure it out." This made me cry a bit inside. alot of the "be a man" gurus will want to give you the image that there is a solution for every problem but this, this is as real and as good as it can get, because it accepts, the struggle of deciding to be a man, but you how can you not be experiencing constant discomfort, confusion and pain when you want that new path for yourself and the people you will love and care about tomorrow and today? edit: i literally teared the whole way through after 10:49, this is a good vid
im 18 took a year of age after I finished school bro i live with my mother and she is the provider in the family I came across this video, never had my father in my life like that but that aint no excuse, thank you for this video and opening my eyes to the world ive been lost but everything u said is truth nobody really cares until you becoming something thank you bro for opening my eyes i have to becoming a man for my future children.
Just like you said bro do it for your future kids! Let that motivate you. I’m proud of your mindset brother you definitely understood the message. Let’s keep getting better 📈💯
I just recently turned 18. Both my parents are getting weaker as I get older. back then I used to wish I'd get old quickly, but now I wish I could go back in time. To be a kid again with no worries apart from making my momma happy. But I try to go on, continue, cause I know life won't stop for me. I'm currently looking for a job and also trying out being a content creator and affiliate marketing. Trying to be a man, so my parents could be kids again.
I’m 20 and been smoking for the past 3 years daily, commenting this to manifest my change. Time to level up and chases the future, time to take responsibility, time to become a man.
Quitting smoking is hard but i managed to get out of that vicious cycle, sometimes i relapse but it is alright due to the fact that i smoke once a week or so socially ( talking about weed btw). Everything is a process, trust the process
Quitting smoking is a skill. It starts with extreme mindfulness and ends in acceptance and learning the amount of discomfort that an identity shift takes. Eventually you'll reach a point where you don't give a shit if you smoke or not because you do it once a year. And that's when the camel's back breaks because you just start saying no to those and boom. You never even noticed the crossing point where you stopped for good.
was right where you are at 20 and within a year I’ve 180d. Haven’t smoked in 6 months and it’s life changing. people gonna tell you the negatives of weed and try to make you run from it, but think about how much you could elevate without it. no brain fog, no straining anxiety, daily motivation, connection with your purpose. best way i know is to rip it like a bandaid. throw it all away. the pipe, the bong, the papers, the grinder. force yourself to say no every time it’s offered before you have a chance to think about it. and even more important, fill that time with things that help you grow: gym, hikes, books, 2nd job, school. or else it gets filled with things that drown you: alcohol, sex, social media. you got this brother keep going
Same. It's not an easy habit to kick, it has taken so much of my time but I can't have regrets. I'm on my first day and I will update my progress right here in this thread
I am 19 and just started a job in IT thinking it would suite me. It doesn’t I hate the people there and the work is not what I wanna do for the rest of my life. My girl broke up with me today. At my lowest point. She said she needs time and doesn’t want to be in a relationship, but she also said she still loves me. I am really at a low point. I will keep pushing, change the job probably to my real dream and purpose. Thanks for the video Even though I am broken I can’t give up and the person reading this also shouldnt. Stay safe and I hope all comes like we want to
im going into 8th grade and my goal is to graduate in 10th grade. These videos give me the blueprint to be my best. keep going dont stop to whoever has a dream
I'm 26 and believe there's no age limit to need to know this message. We don't need more people in this world like you, God chose you. What We need is to help spread your message to this world.
i care about all of you, i love you, we'll be okay we all will be okay, one day itll get better, one day it would all have meant something, we all are alone but together we can be happily alone
I’m 19 and keep having problems with finding purpose and keep falling into bad habits and decisions. Today I reached a breaking point and stumbled across this video. Man you are right on every single account. I kept playing victim and was avoiding accountability. Thank you. This video hit me right where it needed to. Need more guys like you preaching the truth. I know a lot of other people watching this video feel the same way.
I'm trying too figure how too love myself, before I start too love anybody. I can't show love too people around me, n I can't love myself, so I seek love from outside sources but I've found that if I can't love myself, I cannot leech onto other sources of love. I do not know how too love myself
I’m 17. About to be 18 in a month. I never do comments on videos. This video really helped me in changing my mindset, I’m always dreaming and thinking, never praying or following God. However taking in and listening to your words seriously made me realize I need to act now, work now, start figuring out now, start following God. I want to be the man that my kids are proud of. Thank you for helping me :)
getting into martial arts is huge for this my dream as a 22yo man is to be able to become a fighter or bjj competitor while still working full time I'm still finding my backup career though even if I don't make it as a pro I want to be able to teach beginners
4 months ago I lost my grandma. 3 months ago I lost my father. 2 months ago my daughter was born. I was so confident in anticipating my child and welcome her into the world knowing that I had a great family to support my journey of fatherhood. but then it all happened. I was hit with a reality check that nothing lasts forever. And that eventually I will have to bear it all.
I feel you brother. I lost one of my grandmas 3 months ago and last month my second child was born. These realities hit me even before all this happened. Keep moving we got this. Blessings brother
I always blamed my Dad for not being there, I just turned 21 this year and nothing changed since last year the emptiness, the Loneliness all of it stayed the same. I need change and I need to be that change, this is exactly the Reality check I needed, Now it's up to me to make a difference in my life. Thank you Brother❤️
I am 23, no degree no education, no skills, Last year I started posting on TikTok & Instagram today I have a good following of 58k on TikTok and 85K on instagram , and I am still broke. My classmates from high school have jobs that pay more than 80K a year, and Im out here with no education. I started a new video series where I will be posting one video everyday till the end of this year to grow, it is a 180 day challenge - where I will be working out everyday, Journal 15 minutes a day, meditate 15 minutes and face 1 of my fears. - after 2020 my life went downhill cuz I let that happen, but I can salvage it and improve my life. I'll come back to this post in 6 months.
wise words man, thank u. I'm 27 yrs old and yet I dont feel like a man even though I have a job where I am the leader of a big team, live by myself in a good rented house, but I gotta tell y'all, being a man is a lot more than just being able to support yourself. The most important part is being able to take accountability of the mistakes you make, and then grow from it, being able to be disciplined and a lot more. I know I'm not there yet and none of you need to put an act of being a man. That are A LOT of 30 + yrs old that doesnt feel like they are real men cause it is not just about materialistic things, everybody can get money. Im trying to work on myself to be able to mature within myself so I can help my parents and my brothers and I feel that this is a long jorney that isnt defined by age. btw I feel happy that you are only 22 and already feel like that, our community lacks so much of this, most of us grew without fathers cause they were'nt real men.
Everything you said.. was 100% FACTS. Thank you for sharing this with the brotherhood I hope they take the time to read it and understand it. It’s all about accountability, manhood has a lot to do with the character development of who you are. The materialistic things or money only amplifies what you already are. 🙏🏽
I feel I will believe in myself the moment i find my calling and chase it. That feeling I will get when I know this is what my purpose is and what I enjoy doing is when I know to go harder. The problem is I try different things and end up and the same place. I feel that I am learning what it takes to be a man but its very discouraging when the question is brought up about purpose, passion, and success. I'm only 19 and I compare myself to others too much but it hurts that people are becoming successful off of what they enjoy while i still work a corporate job working for minimum wage. I have the want to try everything but never stick with it.
Watching this as a man in my late 20s. Can't believe this young man is only 22 years old. He has a very mature mindset. He's going to do well in life. It's inspiring for someone like me who's a late bloomer to watch this. I'm grateful to say that I'm at least independent from my parents and maintaining a good job. I pay all my bills. I own my car. I got my own place. Life is good and everyday I'm learning to be a better man.
Bro when you said “are you the man your future kids gonna be proud of” 😮💨😢 that just hit like a ton of bricks 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 dawg just broke me down I’m 26 dawg man if mfs knew half my story dawg this spoke to me
One thing I learned and this came from my aunt a female and this isn’t just for men, but every adult needs to have a daily routine that includes goals and responsibilities to meet !
As a late bloomer facing reality checks everyday, this shit hits heavy. Raised by women that repelled men that were trying to guide me. Finally found my words to say enough is enough.... have myself a 15yrs window
Enough is definitely enough! Let God lead you instead even if it’s just him and him alone leading you. You two can and will figure this thing called life out. I believe in you and I’m grateful my videos can help 🙏🏽
man i’m 15 rn and i like watching these typa vids they rlly make me think bigger and better than before and just learning the necessary things in the life of being a man and how to be a better. thank you bro much love!
I really needed this man, I got sick of failing and wanted to get my life together, unfortunately I can say I’m a 2 time drop out, and because I was in school didn’t have a job. Now im unemployed, no school, I have nothing. Life has hit its lowest for me. I’m starting a new course and finally feel ready for the reason of I want my future kids to be proud of who I am, I don’t want my future kids to be drop outs or think their dad is a failure. I have a new desire to push, to be able to be a man and figure it. Thank you, this helped me more then you can know big guy.
6:23 “when you become somebody which you already are all you doing is stepping into your greatness” this stuck out and hit not every other day you here this, i just turned 20 yrs old two days ago so this is definitely a video that i needed to see this so thank you
You got the message bro! We’re already great we just gotta believe in ourselves and step into it. Happy belated birthday! With this mindset the world is yours! 🙏🏽
Man this hit hard. Im 26 just been me and my brother and mum. I had to be an adult by like 12 years old. Me and my broski were able to be able to retire mum close to about 10 years now. We are no where near above average. But man we went through some trials and hardship. I just know that when things turn into fruition it will taste so good. All the sacrifices and risk Made willball make sense. However, it feels like im running out of fuel. Its been so long, growing up so young. I just wanna enjoy the little moments i had when i was a kid. But, this is the difference. Its break or make. I remeber a comment i saw on IG, and it stuck by me. No risk. No rarri. Chase that feeling fellas.
I’m 28 and I am on that path as of the last month fresh out of a seven year relationship I was a boy with her so I’ve had to reflect and be alone I did a lot wrong but I’ve already taken control of my life with a lot of discipline I’m on my way I got two boys I’m fighting for
I reached 18 last week and I'm super confused about life and i never thought that we all gone die someday but the point is do you live your life as you wish or wanted so it's all about having purpose but what is purpose..? and I've been confused lately about having the right purpose and applying it to my life but nowadays specially teenagers"me"also affected by social media,religion,family and our environment and confused and also scared to take action because everybody are constantly telling there ideas are right one but all of theme are wrong so we need to find our purpose in life by trying different things and also having discipline and consistency on the way we don't have to seat and wondering what's our purpose is we'll become miserable by thinking and wondering all day. Last but not least i want to tell you guys that not having purpose to start your life or action is okay you will find the right one along the journey.🖤
Man I am beyond grateful for this video to pop up on my fyp. God bless all of you man out there turning up everyday, for others but most importantly for themselves.
I've started business from a very young age (16) I've had successful businesses that made thousands in profit every month, but I've also made some really stupid mistakes, poor investments etc. I've lost everything and then fought to make it back, again and again. But I've still kept fighting for a better future for myself and my family. I've poured every single last cent, blood and tears into my businesses... Sometimes i just ask myself how different would life be if I just worked a normal job and saved up. I've worked so hard and made so much sacrifices, yet have so little to show for. Life is tough as a man. I'm currently 21 this year and I really hope things can change for the better. If you're reading this and you're on the road to a better future, then i pray things get easy for you and that you make it! God bless!
First time I ever commented on a TH-cam video and let me say that I never thought somebody really could speak on what I think. Great words brotha, stay strong n go make it happen 💯
Seeing this a week before my 21st birthday. Been through so much and not sure what my path is… you’ve made me realise I have to create it and show up everyday. I have to turn it all around.
You got this bro, this is going to be the best year of your life 🙏🏽 you got the right mindset now. Take it day by day, show up each day for yourself and your goals, I believe in you
man this is beautiful... and i despise this comment bcuz one thing i dislike is comparing (for lack of a better word) maturity to age bcuz alot of older men are very immature however this is very mature for a 22yr... keep it up young man🖤

I’m 25 man and this shit is speaking to me. Can’t tell you how many times I fell down the dark path, and came back. I’m finding myself listening to this and I’m seeing hope again. I have a purpose, and it’s to better myself to be the best man possible
I’m 26 and totally lost 😞 any help I don’t have any purpose and I’m tired of being where I’m at
@@D.Dancer999 sometimes we have to create our own purpose. Life is too short to try and make sure everything is perfect. I think you need to look within and stop looking outward, you’ve seen this video and probably countless others, now it’s time to make real changes in your life
You gotta change your habits in order to change your life
@@woahdaniel thanks for this I’m not just reading it I’m listening and soaking it in
Im 25 as well one thing that helped me turn things around 180 was faith in god if ur not a beliver then i highly suggest looking for a relationship with our creator @D.Dancer999
Follow that purpose! It’s your light and the light never left you that’s why you can enter the darkness and make it back out to the light, because you are the light brother. I believe in you.
I just turned 25 and I've been finding it hard to put in the amount of work and discipline.

Facts! Cant pour from an empty cup. You got this fam 💯
Beautiful video bro. Im 18 now, just graduated and working full time. And as I go on in life i realize a lot of the stuff my grandpa told me about life when I was younger is truth. Life and experience is the best teacher for everything
everyday on the stairmaster listening to this. this is my motivation, my affirmation for the day. there will never be another may 3, 2024. thank you bro
The only May 3rd, we gotta make everyday count! Stairmaster is no joke! 🔥 keep going fam 💪🏽
I'm 35 and I've been living like a child for too long not taking proper responsibility for myself. I needed this video, respect.
Respect to you bro, it’s only up from here 📈💪🏽
I'm 34 and feel the same brother, we got this
@@Blkmamba757it’s Neva too late big bro
I realised i was a man when I was 20, I realised that no one is going to rescue me, one of the loneliest days of my life, but at the same time one of the real ones. Thanks for doing this videos dog, keep preaching the word, respect.
Facts! We gotta put the work in ourselves. I believe in you bro, let’s keep working 🙌🏽

Im rooting for every man watching this. 🖤💞
Thank you!! We need more of it 💪🏽🖤
Mehn I don’t normally write comments on TH-cam especially about my feelings but truthfully I hate my self so much. Growing up I was a very ambitious person, I was so driven. I always planned out my future, my dream physique, my business… I was a hussler but I always failed to stick to my plan. I lack consistency and discipline. Now I found my self at my lowest drained in regrets. I’m turning 22 in 4 months and i am at my lowest point financially mentally physically…let alone be where I want to be. It hurts!
To whomever seeing this, please stick to your plans. Please be active. Please work on your goals. Cause trust me it hurts. Don’t fall for temptation please boys. Trust me, let my life be a lesson for you all!
Im in the same boat man. My vision is so blurred. Im stuck smoking everyday stuck in a cycle. working 9-5 monotony. sometimes i wake up with no purpose no drive and negative feelings.
You’re not alone brother, keep going! You’re young and you got the right mindset now, it’s your time! 🙏🏽
Love the honesty bro, keep stepping and never give up!
Wejoow I’m in the same boat guys. I resonate so much with your stories. Get to know Jesus guys, it will transform your life and addictions. Love y’all ❤
hey man, i just wanted to type this out to say it’s never too late to be the person you want to be. you only get one life so achieve your dreams and make who you are proud of the person you’ll be in a couple of years, even in a couple of months. i truly do believe in you. you are loved and you can do anything you set your mind too. GET THAT SHIT BROTHA
I’m a woman, not sure how I got here haha but I still clicked the video and you are truly a man of God this was a beautiful word I think everyone can apply to their lives. Love the way the Lord is using you
10:49 "every moment i'm awake, i'm just trying to figure it out." This made me cry a bit inside.
alot of the "be a man" gurus will want to give you the image that there is a solution for every problem
but this, this is as real and as good as it can get, because it accepts, the struggle of deciding to be a man, but you how can you not be experiencing constant discomfort, confusion and pain when you want that new path for yourself and the people you will love and care about tomorrow and today?
edit: i literally teared the whole way through after 10:49, this is a good vid
im 18 took a year of age after I finished school bro i live with my mother and she is the provider in the family I came across this video, never had my father in my life like that but that aint no excuse, thank you for this video and opening my eyes to the world ive been lost but everything u said is truth nobody really cares until you becoming something thank you bro for opening my eyes i have to becoming a man for my future children.
Just like you said bro do it for your future kids! Let that motivate you. I’m proud of your mindset brother you definitely understood the message. Let’s keep getting better 📈💯
🔥🔥🔥
Same here bro, stay Strong 🤍
Same bro
I just recently turned 18. Both my parents are getting weaker as I get older. back then I used to wish I'd get old quickly, but now I wish I could go back in time. To be a kid again with no worries apart from making my momma happy. But I try to go on, continue, cause I know life won't stop for me. I'm currently looking for a job and also trying out being a content creator and affiliate marketing. Trying to be a man, so my parents could be kids again.
I’m 20 and been smoking for the past 3 years daily, commenting this to manifest my change. Time to level up and chases the future, time to take responsibility, time to become a man.
Quitting smoking is hard but i managed to get out of that vicious cycle, sometimes i relapse but it is alright due to the fact that i smoke once a week or so socially ( talking about weed btw). Everything is a process, trust the process
Let’s goo!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Quitting smoking is a skill. It starts with extreme mindfulness and ends in acceptance and learning the amount of discomfort that an identity shift takes. Eventually you'll reach a point where you don't give a shit if you smoke or not because you do it once a year. And that's when the camel's back breaks because you just start saying no to those and boom. You never even noticed the crossing point where you stopped for good.
was right where you are at 20 and within a year I’ve 180d. Haven’t smoked in 6 months and it’s life changing. people gonna tell you the negatives of weed and try to make you run from it, but think about how much you could elevate without it. no brain fog, no straining anxiety, daily motivation, connection with your purpose. best way i know is to rip it like a bandaid. throw it all away. the pipe, the bong, the papers, the grinder. force yourself to say no every time it’s offered before you have a chance to think about it. and even more important, fill that time with things that help you grow: gym, hikes, books, 2nd job, school. or else it gets filled with things that drown you: alcohol, sex, social media. you got this brother keep going
Same. It's not an easy habit to kick, it has taken so much of my time but I can't have regrets. I'm on my first day and I will update my progress right here in this thread
I am 19 and just started a job in IT thinking it would suite me. It doesn’t I hate the people there and the work is not what I wanna do for the rest of my life. My girl broke up with me today. At my lowest point. She said she needs time and doesn’t want to be in a relationship, but she also said she still loves me. I am really at a low point. I will keep pushing, change the job probably to my real dream and purpose. Thanks for the video
Even though I am broken I can’t give up and the person reading this also shouldnt. Stay safe and I hope all comes like we want to
im going into 8th grade and my goal is to graduate in 10th grade. These videos give me the blueprint to be my best. keep going dont stop to whoever has a dream
You’re ahead of the game bro keep going 🫡
“IT’S YAH’S WAY & YOUR WAY” APTTMH 🙏🏾
“Does your life right now gonna inspire your future kids” that part got me spinning mahn..its crazy😢
I'm 26 and believe there's no age limit to need to know this message. We don't need more people in this world like you, God chose you. What We need is to help spread your message to this world.
i care about all of you, i love you, we'll be okay we all will be okay, one day itll get better, one day it would all have meant something, we all are alone but together we can be happily alone
It’s Yahweh and it’s Your way, that’s deep.
I needed to hear that🤞🏽
Amen 🙏🏽
13:39 “the hardest thing is to start something that has never been there before, but that’s how you create your own way”
"It's Yaweh and your way"❤.
Amen! 🙏🏽 ❤️
I’m 19 and keep having problems with finding purpose and keep falling into bad habits and decisions. Today I reached a breaking point and stumbled across this video. Man you are right on every single account. I kept playing victim and was avoiding accountability. Thank you. This video hit me right where it needed to. Need more guys like you preaching the truth. I know a lot of other people watching this video feel the same way.
Thank you a lot brother. I’m proud of you for taking that step to being accountable, it’s only up from here. I believe in you. 🙏🏽
I'm trying too figure how too love myself, before I start too love anybody. I can't show love too people around me, n I can't love myself, so I seek love from outside sources but I've found that if I can't love myself, I cannot leech onto other sources of love. I do not know how too love myself
I’m 17. About to be 18 in a month. I never do comments on videos. This video really helped me in changing my mindset, I’m always dreaming and thinking, never praying or following God. However taking in and listening to your words seriously made me realize I need to act now, work now, start figuring out now, start following God. I want to be the man that my kids are proud of. Thank you for helping me :)
getting into martial arts is huge for this my dream as a 22yo man is to be able to become a fighter or bjj competitor while still working full time I'm still finding my backup career though even if I don't make it as a pro I want to be able to teach beginners
We never alone even if you feel like it God is always watching beleive that.
This is a great video 💯 keep going brotha I know I am ‼️
Thank you brother, I will too! 🫡
4 months ago I lost my grandma.
3 months ago I lost my father.
2 months ago my daughter was born.
I was so confident in anticipating my child and welcome her into the world knowing that I had a great family to support my journey of fatherhood. but then it all happened. I was hit with a reality check that nothing lasts forever. And that eventually I will have to bear it all.
I’m sorry for your loss brother and I’m happy for your gain, God bless you bro, you’re going to be a great dad. 🙏🏽
I feel you brother. I lost one of my grandmas 3 months ago and last month my second child was born. These realities hit me even before all this happened. Keep moving we got this. Blessings brother
THANK YOU BRO
You got this brother! 🫡🔥
God gave this man a message to speak! God loves you if your reading this.
God loves you too thank you for watching fam! 🙏🏽
Yes sir 👏
I always blamed my Dad for not being there, I just turned 21 this year and nothing changed since last year the emptiness, the Loneliness all of it stayed the same. I need change and I need to be that change, this is exactly the Reality check I needed, Now it's up to me to make a difference in my life. Thank you Brother❤️
You got this brother it’s time to heal and evolve . ❤️🙏🏽
Seek Christ to my Brudda 🧡
love this
"No one's going to tap you on the shoulder and tell you, 'Let's Go'" if you know you know but I felt that
💪🏽💪🏽 facts!
This video already felt personal, but when you said your name, which is also my name, ‘Malik,’ it felt like you were speaking to me directly
I am 23, no degree no education, no skills, Last year I started posting on TikTok & Instagram today I have a good following of 58k on TikTok and 85K on instagram , and I am still broke. My classmates from high school have jobs that pay more than 80K a year, and Im out here with no education.
I started a new video series where I will be posting one video everyday till the end of this year to grow, it is a 180 day challenge
- where I will be working out everyday, Journal 15 minutes a day, meditate 15 minutes and face 1 of my fears.
- after 2020 my life went downhill cuz I let that happen, but I can salvage it and improve my life.
I'll come back to this post in 6 months.
wise words man, thank u. I'm 27 yrs old and yet I dont feel like a man even though I have a job where I am the leader of a big team, live by myself in a good rented house, but I gotta tell y'all, being a man is a lot more than just being able to support yourself. The most important part is being able to take accountability of the mistakes you make, and then grow from it, being able to be disciplined and a lot more. I know I'm not there yet and none of you need to put an act of being a man. That are A LOT of 30 + yrs old that doesnt feel like they are real men cause it is not just about materialistic things, everybody can get money. Im trying to work on myself to be able to mature within myself so I can help my parents and my brothers and I feel that this is a long jorney that isnt defined by age. btw I feel happy that you are only 22 and already feel like that, our community lacks so much of this, most of us grew without fathers cause they were'nt real men.
Everything you said.. was 100% FACTS. Thank you for sharing this with the brotherhood I hope they take the time to read it and understand it. It’s all about accountability, manhood has a lot to do with the character development of who you are. The materialistic things or money only amplifies what you already are. 🙏🏽
remind me of this everyday after a now n an ever after...
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO!!! NOT IN THE NEGATIVE WAY (ATTENTION SEEKING) BUT IN THE POSITIVE WAY (CREATION)
Agreed!
I feel I will believe in myself the moment i find my calling and chase it. That feeling I will get when I know this is what my purpose is and what I enjoy doing is when I know to go harder. The problem is I try different things and end up and the same place. I feel that I am learning what it takes to be a man but its very discouraging when the question is brought up about purpose, passion, and success. I'm only 19 and I compare myself to others too much but it hurts that people are becoming successful off of what they enjoy while i still work a corporate job working for minimum wage. I have the want to try everything but never stick with it.

🔥🔥🔥🔥
god bless man
“Part of being a man is figuring it out” Daamn you gave me goosebumps brother ❤️
🙏🏽❤️ daily progress! Thank you brother
Watching this as a man in my late 20s. Can't believe this young man is only 22 years old. He has a very mature mindset. He's going to do well in life. It's inspiring for someone like me who's a late bloomer to watch this. I'm grateful to say that I'm at least independent from my parents and maintaining a good job. I pay all my bills. I own my car. I got my own place. Life is good and everyday I'm learning to be a better man.
With this mindset at your age you’re going to go very very far in life. Keep going man
That means a lot, thank you 🙏🏽
That's what i'm doing right now but not for long
Bro when you said “are you the man your future kids gonna be proud of” 😮💨😢 that just hit like a ton of bricks 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 dawg just broke me down I’m 26 dawg man if mfs knew half my story dawg this spoke to me
Let’s all be MEN
One thing I learned and this came from my aunt a female and this isn’t just for men, but every adult needs to have a daily routine that includes goals and responsibilities to meet !
Facts!! I agree 100%
This hit so deep I just keep crying I kno I need to man up☹️
I believe in you brother, I believe in you
As a late bloomer facing reality checks everyday, this shit hits heavy. Raised by women that repelled men that were trying to guide me. Finally found my words to say enough is enough.... have myself a 15yrs window
Enough is definitely enough! Let God lead you instead even if it’s just him and him alone leading you. You two can and will figure this thing called life out. I believe in you and I’m grateful my videos can help 🙏🏽
i’ll not skip any ads of ur videos
man i’m 15 rn and i like watching these typa vids they rlly make me think bigger and better than before and just learning the necessary things in the life of being a man and how to be a better. thank you bro much love!
I really needed this man, I got sick of failing and wanted to get my life together, unfortunately I can say I’m a 2 time drop out, and because I was in school didn’t have a job. Now im unemployed, no school, I have nothing. Life has hit its lowest for me. I’m starting a new course and finally feel ready for the reason of I want my future kids to be proud of who I am, I don’t want my future kids to be drop outs or think their dad is a failure. I have a new desire to push, to be able to be a man and figure it.
Thank you, this helped me more then you can know big guy.
This man is one of the only men,who is being genuine with their content
I appreciate that a lot, I’ll always keep it genuine and real! 🙏🏽 thank you for your support
I'm positive and I believe in myself too
Ur videos really life changing
“Where not going to be able to help others if we can’t help ourselves” your purpose is to help people and serve 11:57
👏🏽👏🏽 you got it brother
Hope all of y’all achieve y’all dreams and keep moving forward. Love 🙏🏾
6:23 “when you become somebody which you already are all you doing is stepping into your greatness” this stuck out and hit not every other day you here this, i just turned 20 yrs old two days ago so this is definitely a video that i needed to see this so thank you
You got the message bro! We’re already great we just gotta believe in ourselves and step into it. Happy belated birthday! With this mindset the world is yours! 🙏🏽
man i needed this...
imma leave this here so I can come back
Man this hit hard. Im 26 just been me and my brother and mum. I had to be an adult by like 12 years old. Me and my broski were able to be able to retire mum close to about 10 years now. We are no where near above average. But man we went through some trials and hardship. I just know that when things turn into fruition it will taste so good. All the sacrifices and risk Made willball make sense. However, it feels like im running out of fuel. Its been so long, growing up so young. I just wanna enjoy the little moments i had when i was a kid. But, this is the difference. Its break or make.
I remeber a comment i saw on IG, and it stuck by me.
No risk. No rarri.
Chase that feeling fellas.
No risk no rarri!! 🔥 appreciate your comment bro
I’m 28 and I am on that path as of the last month fresh out of a seven year relationship I was a boy with her so I’ve had to reflect and be alone I did a lot wrong but I’ve already taken control of my life with a lot of discipline I’m on my way I got two boys I’m fighting for
the goal is to inspire cause at the end of the day it aint a single one gon change the world. It’s all of us
We all in this together!
the day you leave someone behind is the day you chose to take a step further into a better life
Amazing video, you are so inspiring and kind it amazes me. This is an important topic thank you for covering that, may God bless you.
May God bless you too 🙏🏽
You definitely saving us bro keep going

I reached 18 last week and I'm super confused about life and i never thought that we all gone die someday but the point is do you live your life as you wish or wanted so it's all about having purpose but what is purpose..? and I've been confused lately about having the right purpose and applying it to my life but nowadays specially teenagers"me"also affected by social media,religion,family and our environment and confused and also scared to take action because everybody are constantly telling there ideas are right one but all of theme are wrong so we need to find our purpose in life by trying different things and also having discipline and consistency on the way we don't have to seat and wondering what's our purpose is we'll become miserable by thinking and wondering all day.
Last but not least i want to tell you guys that not having purpose to start your life or action is okay you will find the right one along the journey.🖤
Man I am beyond grateful for this video to pop up on my fyp. God bless all of you man out there turning up everyday, for others but most importantly for themselves.
God bless you too brother!
This is exactly what I needed . Thank you
I've started business from a very young age (16) I've had successful businesses that made thousands in profit every month, but I've also made some really stupid mistakes, poor investments etc. I've lost everything and then fought to make it back, again and again. But I've still kept fighting for a better future for myself and my family.
I've poured every single last cent, blood and tears into my businesses...
Sometimes i just ask myself how different would life be if I just worked a normal job and saved up. I've worked so hard and made so much sacrifices, yet have so little to show for. Life is tough as a man. I'm currently 21 this year and I really hope things can change for the better.
If you're reading this and you're on the road to a better future, then i pray things get easy for you and that you make it! God bless!
God bless you brother! Thank you for sharing this, I know things will get better GodsPlan! 💪🏽🙏🏽
Truly said bro the battle is between you and yourself
First time I ever commented on a TH-cam video and let me say that I never thought somebody really could speak on what I think. Great words brotha, stay strong n go make it happen 💯
Means a lot brother! Thank you for giving this video a chance, I appreciate your support and I’ll continue to provide value 🙏🏽
Bless you brother I woke up needed this
I’m 22 too, just graduated college and i’m going through the similar changes.
Thank you for sharing your perspective, it is a real feeling.
It definitely is real, I know you’ll continue to do great things brother. Congratulations on graduating! 🙏🏽
Time to be great
👊🏽🫡
Seeing this a week before my 21st birthday. Been through so much and not sure what my path is… you’ve made me realise I have to create it and show up everyday. I have to turn it all around.
You got this bro, this is going to be the best year of your life 🙏🏽 you got the right mindset now. Take it day by day, show up each day for yourself and your goals, I believe in you
man this is beautiful... and i despise this comment bcuz one thing i dislike is comparing (for lack of a better word) maturity to age bcuz alot of older men are very immature however this is very mature for a 22yr... keep it up young man🖤
facts im 24 i realized it late but not too late you cant blame nobody else for your situation but yourself
Facts bro with accountability we’re able to make solutions and create a better life 💯💯
No, if you get to age of 18 messed up by past its not fault having problems to resocialize
I’m 20, for me I realized its trying to find ways around the sacrifices I know I need to make.
“As a man you got to think for yourself, yeah you gotta think for yourself..” not even Isaac newton on this level of thinking for real💯
Too much people let the world think for them, we gotta be the one in the drivers seat 💯
So real man
19 minutes and 20 seconds of fax, the so called men around me need to hear this
Facts! 💯💯 thank you for watching brother
