Yesss. I feel this so much, my parents never notice anything or think anything is worth celebrating and I just started noticing how much it’s affected me in the last year. I stopped caring that they weren’t passionate about things that I was or they didn’t think it was “that big of a deal”. I hype everything I think is making me better now and I try to do it to other people too. Progress is so important. If you’re not happy or proud of yourself it’s not going to matter when other people do.
exactly babe... if you are not happy it will never matter what other people do, good or bad... its almost like a set of invisible blinders we arent even aware of! thank you for watching my video my love!
Thanks Sara for always being so woke and intuitive, and helping all of us. I can tell that you and I are both quite alike. Thanks girl, stay positive x
This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently and you summed it up so well. I’ve been hearing a lot more over the past couple of weeks how important validation of our own feelings is (that’s like when other people reflect our emotions back to us so we know and understand they are true and worthwhile) and I think if we learnt to validate our own feelings we would be so much better for it
No one celebrated me getting my associates degree, no one celebrated me getting my drivers license, no one celebrated my engagement....ur right it weakened me and I felt so unimportant
if i was there we would have partied till we turned purple. as i said babe, its never too late, plan a weekend vacation, even maybe a little road trip to celebrate EVERYTHING you just mentioned. i hope you and your significant other had an amazing celebration. use any of that pain and weakness you may have encountered and transform it into love towards yourself and even more motivation for the handful of things you are still going to accomplish
u complete boss babe, those are such big things 2 of which ( associate degree & engagement ) that I still didn't accomplish. u are amazing n forget ppl your accomplishments are important even if there aren't supporters :) u go girl
this comment seriously makes me want to cry... dude ive been working so hard on this little brain of mine sometimes i think im driving myself even more crazy... thank you babe... truly.
A little step stone that I celebrated was you noticing me on here, you appreciating my work, and that’s literally what made me keep going on YT, if it wasn’t for you I would’ve only had that first video and I wanna thank you for that, you’re an amazing person and an inspiration ❤️
Michelle!!! are you serious... i couldnt help but tell you how amazing you are and not to mention your makeup skills... i want to thank you for continuing with your passion and creativity. this comment just made my day dude thank you so much
I loved this. It was like a TEDtalk on society's obsession with perfectionism over progress from a speaker who I connect with and take information from to a deeper level. Please do more videos like this, talking about messages from books you've studied and read. It's so helpful and engaging. I really needed to hear this today, felt really crap but i'm not recognising my progress. After this video, now i'm going to actively note my progress and pick myself up a bit. Very helpful vid! Xx
this video, genuinely, has just accused me. but in a good way (and I'm only a minute in)...i don't know how you do this Sara. truly. at the certain point, we stop celebrating our progress. instead, we begin to focus on our failures. and it really does suck. i was watching this other youtuber's video where she "explained" how it's good to set goals for ourselves, but for certain time periods (so eg as a writer, i could set myself a goal like "i want to write a page a day this following month" - and at the end of the month, i can evaluate - did i succeed? if yes, i should celebrate my progress and fulfilling the goal; did i not succeed? well, i can go through the month, see where and why i failed, take a moment to learn from it, and celebrate the month that gave me an opportunity for the growth.) and your video has totally reminded me of that. speaking of the celebration of literally everything - it's great, and i totally do agree with that. although i do have one point about this - im honestly just a bit scared to celebrate every little progress/success because i feel like celebration might become my new "normal", and im scared that i won't be as grateful for my successes as i would have had i not celebrated every single one of them in such a great, majestic way. i know this sounds stupid (or at least it does sound stupid to me), but i feel like that's how i kind of subconsciously think, if that makes sense. i just want a celebration of success to be something special, not casual. don't get me wrong, my conscious self agrees with you, absolutely. celebrating is hecka important. but my subconscious is kind of afraid that I might be like a dog in this - that I won't do anything without my "treat" (celebration), and that way, celebration becomes something I might get addicted to. maybe i would perceive this way different had i celebrated everything with others (family), but I don't really do that. "and ifs" or "buts"...you're totally kicking my butt Sara, and hurting my ego and my pride and my victimizing. thanks! seriously. i do need that. "do you want to be blind to your mistakes your whole life, or do you want to become aware of them and then grow..." this reminded me of this quote: the only thing worse then being blind is having sight but no vision (Hellen Keller) (okay now i got to the 14th min of the video and it's just given me answers and broken my doubts i wrote down in these previous lines. well. this video was pretty "pointfully timeless". you legit just keep murdering my doubts as i go further with the video.) honestly, thanks for talking about the religious stuff - because it is controversial and no one of youtubers really talks about it, but...you did. you described your own perception of it, and that is great! i feel like books in general are like music - we never really know the life of the person who wrote it, but we - in many cases - can apply the experiences they put into their art pieces into our lives. as you said, there is so much stuff we can learn from each other. i have a question, Sara; is your po box still opened? glows in the darkness, blows while it's windless, sings when it's quiet. mark
i always love your comments Mark and they always get me thinking as well, when you mentioned the motion of not wanting to celebrate every little thing because that may become your new norm. i completely understand why you think that or are worried that may happen; how i see it, its not really a celebration as in partying or buying yourself something, it is the awareness that you are progressing and not just focused on perfecting everything and getting things done. you are taking time to realize the little things are just as important as the big things. I did mention at one point this can just be used temporarily as a way to break bad habits. Always being used to planting bad seeds; instead taking the time out of what seems to be our busy life and tell our self we are doing okay, we are on the right path, and that will give ourselves the time to allow those little seeds we started planting along the way to start growing and supporting us even more. as apposed to only waiting till you accomplished everything to plant yourself a field.... its going to take months before you even feel an impact of those seeds, its support or what they offer to teach you. they are still trying to grow while your still plowing through life just getting things done and never really reminding yourself of all the things you have accomplished think of it this way, if you get in the habit of only celebrating when the big things happen or never celebrating at all, you will never feel the progress in your life, you will just see it. we need to live life, not just watch it pass by and never admire everything we have done. when you mentioned your ego... gotta always wonder, is it your intuition or ego speaking to you! the poem at the end is absolutely beautiful
yes i highly agree.. sara is right... celebration and making urself or someone around you happy means alot to ourselves.. yes i love each n every word you said.. touching to my heart. i have been batteling anxiety and depression due to the same reason that no one celebrated that i got 2nd position in my exams right after our parents had died...it was like a single ray of smile but when i came home no one was at home to greet me or congratulate me... and i dont blame my brothers but after this shock i literally left studies 😣😣😣😣... the biggest mistake i did but i couldnt take it anymore. no one said to me hey after going through sooooo much pain losing ur parents you still scored a position in university.. i understand sara is so right... we have to learn this... love it...
Awwww I'm sooooo proud of you☹❤❤❤REALLY 😭💙 Congratulations and keep on even it's hard :( and iam really sorry for your loss 😢😔 Lot's of love and strenght ❤
I was so down this week and it felt like a heavy stone was on my back everyday i walk in college campus,but i got to hang out with my highschool friend and watched this video,i feel so grateful and im gonna start to celebrate my progress now ☺️ thank you for this video sara.
Ive been watching your videos and this is the last one and I’ve seen you grow up strongly and im so happy that your like that. Not having your parents to look up to might be hard but look at how much you’ve grown without them. I hope a lot of good things happen to you cause you truly deserve it. :) and i love your skin and i think youre still beautiful
thank you so much for talking about this. thank you for reminding us , that we can celebrate our progress by ourselves and that focusing on our progress is all that counts. also thank YOU for making me aware! ever since I've been watching your videos (about half a year now) I've been leading a happier life. like yo, I used to love doing art, random paintings like everything. and then I got depressed and just stopped. you inspired me to start again. thank you so much for bringing awareness and lighting the world up ❤💋
Omg the driving license thing hit me so hard literally teared up. I try so hard to celebrate my own milestones and not focus on others, but last year graduated university after being the first person in the family ever to go and i was so excited and my family were like "Do we have to go to your graduation??? We don't want to come" and I was like ok I won't go so yous don't have to (bcos whats the point if they were going to hate it? and it was expensive af and i'm skint?). And I thought I'd be fine cos graduation is just wearing a gown isn't it, but seeing everyone else graduate and their families being so supportive and celebrating and having it as this big memorable milestone and getting pics etc and I'm there like sitting alone in my flat??? idk I wish I'd gone and taken friends or even gone myself but I was so let down that i didn't wanna go at all and it just sucks still. I wish I'd seen this video last year! I definitely need it and need to let go of expectations of others!!!
it is never too late to celebrate my love... we can all begin to celebrate together. thank you so much for leaving this comment and also for taking the time to watch my video, it really does mean alot to me. awareness is key and it doesnt matter what time you become aware the fact; like i mentioned in the video, you are now able to look back and see something you were blind and unaware to at a time! i think thats amazing in itself. be proud babe... i know we are proud of you
I know its been a while since u posted this comment but I just want to say congratulations on graduation you put so much work in and you did it you graduated ! Thats amazing and im sending good vibes your way and wishing you the best in finding who you are after school❤
sara, i thank you endlessly. i found your channel last summer (i’m late), and i am eternally grateful. your videos never fail to introduce an entirely new way of thinking. thank you for taking time out of your day to share your insight and this abundance of monumental information. i often write down the points you make so i can reflect on them and hopefully implement them into my life one day. you possess such a beautiful mind and soul. i wish you so much love and light throughout your life. i hope to one day be able to thank you personally for all you have provided me. you have helped me deal with loss, depression, and all the cumbersome shit life throws on us sometimes. you have made a positive impact on my life and the countless lives of others, and i hope you are aware of that. so much love 🌷🌷🌷
girll, your skin and mine are like telephatically connected, cuz they have both been gradually clearing up lately!! it's reassuring to have somebody with me on this journey. thank you for making my day with your content and existence! ^.^
thank you for this video. i’m at a time in my life where i truly needed these words and i shall now take time to focus on my progress over my mistakes and be happy for what i have done correctly instead of putting myself over my mistakes. you are truly amazinf
i am so happy i came across your youtube channel. i look forward to each and every one of your videos because you inspire me. you have changed my perspective on so many things. i love you so much. you're such a beautiful person.
was cleaning. now I’m not cleaning lol. love love love you girlyyy, always look forward to seeing you. watching one of your vids are always the highlight of my day 💛
Your videos are so well thought out, I never even thought of how celebrations stop after a certain point and it is sad! We need to celebrate the little things because it makes the bigger progressions easier to get to! :)
People who lived their lives with people who celebrated progress are really lucky. No one celebrated anything at all in my circles really. I never felt like someone is proud of me unfortunately and that made me really depressed I have to admit and still cant get completely out of it. I did some stuff that I was proud of myself, like photography , arts and much more and yeah, no one ever celebrated or told me that I was good and I knew I was doing well. I know that we all should celebrate by ourselves and that is right, but that lack of interest in me from close people made a big impact on me through years. I feel You on this, yet sometimes its not that easy to make yourself think and feel this way. You make so much sense and I resonate with all Your videos on thoughts about life and things. I went through some serious life situations too. Much love to You
I always watched your videos, the long ones, even when you would get off track and change subjects all the time 😁 not that I minded that, as I said - I watched those too, but I just realized now you don’t do that! You’ve been so focused and full of information with this message, love it!
I've been realizing theres a time and a place to be goofy and my informational videos aren't always easy to understate as is and I really want to get my butt back into school so the thinking cap has been super glued on 😭🙌🏽❤
Sara K yesss girl! I’m rooting for you! That is amazing :) so inspirational to see you now, what a hard time you had with your tragedies and skin and all.. and now you’re glowing like a little star that you are! Both outside & from within! This is just the beginning for you! And seeing you become even better and stronger after struggles that most of us (thank god) never come even close to is a blessing to me! A good use of social media, with all the fake accounts that cause us to feel envy and depressed, your channel is a wind in everyone’s back, if they’re here long enough! I’m so proud of you. ❤️
Thank you so much. I was having a bit of a breakdown last night because I really fucked something up a while ago that I haven't been able to fully forgive myself for. I am just trying to take things one moment at a time and look back on my accomplishments so far when I feel stuck. It has really helped to be kind to myself and celebrate the little things. All I can do now is focus on that goal once again and keep working towards it rather than beating myself up for what I did that I can't take back. I resonated with this video so much and I needed to hear it. I appreciate you.
It is really one of ur best talks .. thanks a lot I think I need to reward myself for those times I was waiting someone else to rewarded me which made me so disappointed despite all my big progressions that I have made. Also I'm always waiting to the end of the goal to make the celebration (which obviously no one care about) but from now I decided to celebrate the progression 💪 Thanks a lot Sara u open my mind ❤💫
During my journey I have learned great lessons such as these , I would like to share them with everyone here and you Sara. I had almost the same experience even the accident. 1. Don't have expectations of you or others, they will be the slow death of you.. 2. Be aware of your own milestones and be proud no matter the destination or course. 3.A reminder I give myself** As bitter an angry as someone can be because of there own journey, we all need HUMANITY💕 ... 4. Most important.. We need to learn how to except love just as much as giving love. Its soo important!! This was a great video! Loved it so much! 💕😇
thank you for leaving this... everyone needs to see this and i truly hope they do. those were amazing things to be able to say you have learned Jenn, not many will be able to say they have so that is also something you should be proud of yourself for. again thank you for this comment and for taking the time to watch my video
I agree with you (around 5:03) , however to a certain extent. It is such a defeating feeling, you took the word right out my mouth. It's exhausting when you don't have someone who you can enjoy life with. Celebrating happiness with someone, laughing is truly the best medicine. But laughing and feeling like you don't have to hold back your belly-aching rumble... well that 's the icing on the cake. We as humans need each other in life, and I'm finally starting to realize this concept.. as I am loosing this concept at the same time in my reality ..
That is just the talk I needed. Thank you Sara for putting out your content and talking that real talk. Your words truly cheer me up, especially nowadays ❤
I'm 43 years old and Sara dear you gave me such a BIG AHA MOMENT!!! I couldn't agree with you more!! Being surrounded with people who always under estimate all the things that maters to us is killing every motivation and joy in our lives! Not appreciating our achievements deprives us from the spirit that push us to have a target and do our best to reach it!! I will not accept to go on like that!! I will celebrate no mater what!!
damn i really NEEDED this. everyone always talks about self love to cure perfectionism but have not talked about the act of celebrating progress ! Wow i have some many things to celebrate ! ps. you are so inspiring i am so proud of how far you are coming !
I liked the idea of celebrating the little progress...so I’m in the first month of the first job !! I will celebrate by my self!!! THANK YOU SARA(all love from Saudi Arabia)💞💞💞💞💞✨
Preach girl, PREACH!! Everything I needed to hear you said in this video. Thank you! Just found your channel today and I'm about binge watch your videos lol
Your speech reminds me of how i used to reward myself with good coffee and cake after super- long and super-tough week on my university. Small things but they made me feel soooo good and relaxed. "We need to stop being so obsessed with perfection. We need to become more obsessed with progress"
Hi sara.. i love the way you see in everything is very different, detail and it makes sense . I believe you have read alot and it makes you so knowledgeable..
I needed this video. I felt like u were directly talking to me.my birthday is coming up soon(march 21) and I been so upset because on one hand I feel like I am excited but last year I was extremely disaponminted on my birthday I planned the perfect 21st birthday but things happened and it never happened. So i feel like why become excited when it's gonna be disappointment again.i try not to get excited about much of any thing cuz I'm always left feeling disappointed. Holidays don't even excite me anymore I literally dread them
well my love i want to tell you Happy early Birthday and I want you to please get yourself something, take yourself somewhere! be so busy celebrating that the day almost passes by quicker than you even wanted it to! i will always be here to celebrate with you. im just an email away. Its okay to be excited and to expect good things to happen, we can bring into our life anything we would like with the proper knowledge and mindset. bring celebration into your life so you dont even need to worry about someone else failing to do so:) thats what ive personally learned is the best so im not left disappointed by anyone and if i am, sadly its on me!
I always get the intense urge to put Sara's videos into the comments of other peoples videos especially those that contain a lot of closed minded people who need that little boost. Love you Sara xx
Your such an extraordinarily beautiful woman inside and out your so inspirational and strong i would strive to be like you. You have been through so much and u use that to expand your knowledge and thats whats so great about you. I love you and your so beautiful for real
thank you for this video, sara - it was much needed. i watched it while i was doing my makeup and it was so interesting - i really enjoy your talking videos :) your mind is amazing. - jordan
ahh, when you are so consumed that the end comes so quickly and you're like, well hella i gotta listen to some more and you end up on a whole research tangent. I love this buzz that you often trigger in me!
Oh Sara. Once you reach 40, a sort of liberation hits. It is a beautiful and amazing thing. The fact that you were not "celebrated" honestly ceases to matter because you realize that it isnt the lack of celebration which weakens you but the failures of your expectations. You can celebrate your mile stones and throw a party, but if you expect everyone to attend then you get disappointed. It all turns into this, aint no one gonna treat you right unless you do it yourself. Drop expectations and appreciate the journey. Perfection isnt possible and the true meaning of the word is completion or wholeness. So, consider expectation vs reality, it is an important topic and through it can come true maturity and wisdom.
Well.. dat makes alotta sense, truly appreciate wut u said and wut u mean.. thx a lot and I will celebrate lil things in my life from now on.. luv ya sm Sara💜
After watching each of your videos I more and more realise how similar we are, mine and yours opinions, thoughts and other staff that we analyse all the time. Love you soo much! Your gorgeous and so intelligent!
You know when you hear something that hits you at just the right time and in just the right way and you can’t help but want to cry. But like it’s not a bad cry.. it’s a cleaning cry that feels fresh and relieving but still really sad. Idk, words are hard
I love how you're able to clearly express your thoughts, I usually just stutter so much or have to say UMMMMM.. UMM in like every sentence to get my thoughts organized 😂
I noticed this kind of notion with my family when one of my sisters said that i wont be receiving any presents for Christmas because i was “too old” and piece of me didn’t think much of it i was just like “ouch” ok ahahah until I started dating my boyfriend and when Christmas came around my boyfriend wanted me to go Christmas shopping to get gifts for all his family members and everybody in his family was so excited telling each other “i know what im going to get you for Christmas” and i was just like wow this is really neat! And then it hit me... that my family is completely the opposite And then my boyfriend’s family started telling me that they were gonna get me something for Christmas and a piece of me got super excited and i shopped my heart out... what i want to say that it feels so amazing to feel so welcomed and appreciated I realized that to them it wasn’t the money that mattered nor did it matter how old you are it was about the joy and the excitement on people’s faces when they open their gifts and i cant explain how happy that made because that same year I received so many gifts and i felt overwhelmed with the amount of love and gifts I received in contrast I received nothing from my family.
I needed to see this thankyou ! It’s weird how this world paint adult life to be boring after a certain point ! Fuck that ima celebrate ,live life, progress every damn day till I die !!! Have a mean day Sara !!! (Mean = cool in Nz slang lol)
i love this comment. please please always continue to keep thinking about life. remember the book i recommend, "Deep Awake". we all need to strive to be deeply awake.

lucy massam i agree
Sara is prospering and growing into such a wise and beautiful woman. I can’t, I’m gonna cry 😭❤️
YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE ME CRY!!!
Yesss. I feel this so much, my parents never notice anything or think anything is worth celebrating and I just started noticing how much it’s affected me in the last year.

Momma is here, I'm grabbin coffee and finally enjoying my day
Thanks Sara for always being so woke and intuitive, and helping all of us. I can tell that you and I are both quite alike. Thanks girl, stay positive x

Sara K I love you 💕 thanks so much, I’ll plan more fun days when I graduate in April cuz school and work are drowning me
Well done on all of those things !!! I'm sending you celebrations !! I'm going to celebrate progress that i haven't yet and you deserve it too xx
u complete boss babe, those are such big things 2 of which ( associate degree & engagement ) that I still didn't accomplish. u are amazing n forget ppl your accomplishments are important even if there aren't supporters :) u go girl

this comment seriously makes me want to cry... dude ive been working so hard on this little brain of mine sometimes i think im driving myself even more crazy... thank you babe... truly.

SARA IS S🅾️ CLOSE TO 1 MILLION IM SCREAMINFSJSGSJ
Ikr been here since forever and that just makes me so happy, she deserves the world...
Lmfao you guys just made my morning!!! We are almost there 😫😫🙌🏽💕🌹😭
this video, genuinely, has just accused me. but in a good way (and I'm only a minute in)...i don't know how you do this Sara. truly. at the certain point, we stop celebrating our progress. instead, we begin to focus on our failures. and it really does suck. i was watching this other youtuber's video where she "explained" how it's good to set goals for ourselves, but for certain time periods (so eg as a writer, i could set myself a goal like "i want to write a page a day this following month" - and at the end of the month, i can evaluate - did i succeed? if yes, i should celebrate my progress and fulfilling the goal; did i not succeed? well, i can go through the month, see where and why i failed, take a moment to learn from it, and celebrate the month that gave me an opportunity for the growth.) and your video has totally reminded me of that.
speaking of the celebration of literally everything - it's great, and i totally do agree with that. although i do have one point about this - im honestly just a bit scared to celebrate every little progress/success because i feel like celebration might become my new "normal", and im scared that i won't be as grateful for my successes as i would have had i not celebrated every single one of them in such a great, majestic way. i know this sounds stupid (or at least it does sound stupid to me), but i feel like that's how i kind of subconsciously think, if that makes sense. i just want a celebration of success to be something special, not casual. don't get me wrong, my conscious self agrees with you, absolutely. celebrating is hecka important. but my subconscious is kind of afraid that I might be like a dog in this - that I won't do anything without my "treat" (celebration), and that way, celebration becomes something I might get addicted to. maybe i would perceive this way different had i celebrated everything with others (family), but I don't really do that.
"and ifs" or "buts"...you're totally kicking my butt Sara, and hurting my ego and my pride and my victimizing. thanks! seriously. i do need that.
"do you want to be blind to your mistakes your whole life, or do you want to become aware of them and then grow..." this reminded me of this quote: the only thing worse then being blind is having sight but no vision (Hellen Keller)
(okay now i got to the 14th min of the video and it's just given me answers and broken my doubts i wrote down in these previous lines. well. this video was pretty "pointfully timeless".
you legit just keep murdering my doubts as i go further with the video.)
honestly, thanks for talking about the religious stuff - because it is controversial and no one of youtubers really talks about it, but...you did. you described your own perception of it, and that is great!
i feel like books in general are like music - we never really know the life of the person who wrote it, but we - in many cases - can apply the experiences they put into their art pieces into our lives. as you said, there is so much stuff we can learn from each other.
i have a question, Sara; is your po box still opened?
glows in the darkness,
blows while it's windless,
sings when it's quiet.
mark
Well... I read the whole thing and it's so beautifully written I got teary-eyed. No joke.
i always love your comments Mark and they always get me thinking as well, when you mentioned the motion of not wanting to celebrate every little thing because that may become your new norm. i completely understand why you think that or are worried that may happen; how i see it, its not really a celebration as in partying or buying yourself something, it is the awareness that you are progressing and not just focused on perfecting everything and getting things done. you are taking time to realize the little things are just as important as the big things.

Always being used to planting bad seeds; instead taking the time out of what seems to be our busy life and tell our self we are doing okay, we are on the right path, and that will give ourselves the time to allow those little seeds we started planting along the way to start growing and supporting us even more. as apposed to only waiting till you accomplished everything to plant yourself a field.... its going to take months before you even feel an impact of those seeds, its support or what they offer to teach you. they are still trying to grow while your still plowing through life just getting things done and never really reminding yourself of all the things you have accomplished
think of it this way, if you get in the habit of only celebrating when the big things happen or never celebrating at all, you will never feel the progress in your life, you will just see it.
we need to live life, not just watch it pass by and never admire everything we have done.
when you mentioned your ego... gotta always wonder, is it your intuition or ego speaking to you!
the poem at the end is absolutely beautiful
You are literally wise beyond your years and seem to have an old soul. I, along with most of your subscribers, appreciate your talking vids
this really means alot to me, thank you very much
yes i highly agree.. sara is right... celebration and making urself or someone around you happy means alot to ourselves.. yes i love each n every word you said.. touching to my heart. i have been batteling anxiety and depression due to the same reason that no one celebrated that i got 2nd position in my exams right after our parents had died...it was like a single ray of smile but when i came home no one was at home to greet me or congratulate me... and i dont blame my brothers but after this shock i literally left studies 😣😣😣😣... the biggest mistake i did but i couldnt take it anymore. no one said to me hey after going through sooooo much pain losing ur parents you still scored a position in university.. i understand sara is so right... we have to learn this... love it...
Awwww I'm sooooo proud of you☹❤❤❤REALLY 😭💙 Congratulations and keep on even it's hard :( and iam really sorry for your loss 😢😔 Lot's of love and strenght ❤
yes, girl! questioning and analyzing what everyone tries to make the norm
awesome video
YO UR SO CLOSE TO A MILLION EKKK!! I am so happy for ya girl ❤️❤️❤️
i remember watching this last year and it changed my outlook and mindset on life. thank you
I feel so encouraged by this video, Sara!
one day:)
I've been watching your videos for a year already and i'm so so glad i found you. You light up my days 💕💕💕
I was so down this week and it felt like a heavy stone was on my back everyday i walk in college campus,but i got to hang out with my highschool friend and watched this video,i feel so grateful and im gonna start to celebrate my progress now ☺️ thank you for this video sara.
We love you Sara...alwaz with u... love from Bangladesh....
every video you make allows me to feel a lot better!! it’s like magic
the content we are all here for! you are always coming around with the talks i need, thank you
you kno i gotchu;)
Ive been watching your videos and this is the last one and I’ve seen you grow up strongly and im so happy that your like that. Not having your parents to look up to might be hard but look at how much you’ve grown without them. I hope a lot of good things happen to you cause you truly deserve it. :) and i love your skin and i think youre still beautiful
this comment is truly beautiful.... i thank you for taking the time to watch my videos and keep up with my craziness, i really do appreciate it
thank you so much for talking about this. thank you for reminding us , that we can celebrate our progress by ourselves and that focusing on our progress is all that counts.
also thank YOU for making me aware! ever since I've been watching your videos (about half a year now) I've been leading a happier life.
like yo, I used to love doing art, random paintings like everything. and then I got depressed and just stopped. you inspired me to start again.
thank you so much for bringing awareness and lighting the world up ❤💋
Yes!! Celebrate all the amazing things you’ve done!! Be proud of all the little things!! Loved the message of this video, really made me think.
Omg the driving license thing hit me so hard literally teared up. I try so hard to celebrate my own milestones and not focus on others, but last year graduated university after being the first person in the family ever to go and i was so excited and my family were like "Do we have to go to your graduation??? We don't want to come" and I was like ok I won't go so yous don't have to (bcos whats the point if they were going to hate it? and it was expensive af and i'm skint?). And I thought I'd be fine cos graduation is just wearing a gown isn't it, but seeing everyone else graduate and their families being so supportive and celebrating and having it as this big memorable milestone and getting pics etc and I'm there like sitting alone in my flat??? idk I wish I'd gone and taken friends or even gone myself but I was so let down that i didn't wanna go at all and it just sucks still. I wish I'd seen this video last year! I definitely need it and need to let go of expectations of others!!!
it is never too late to celebrate my love... we can all begin to celebrate together. thank you so much for leaving this comment and also for taking the time to watch my video, it really does mean alot to me. awareness is key and it doesnt matter what time you become aware the fact; like i mentioned in the video, you are now able to look back and see something you were blind and unaware to at a time! i think thats amazing in itself. be proud babe... i know we are proud of you
thank u for taking the time to respond to me!
I know its been a while since u posted this comment but I just want to say congratulations on graduation you put so much work in and you did it you graduated ! Thats amazing and im sending good vibes your way and wishing you the best in finding who you are after school❤
sara, i thank you endlessly. i found your channel last summer (i’m late), and i am eternally grateful. your videos never fail to introduce an entirely new way of thinking. thank you for taking time out of your day to share your insight and this abundance of monumental information. i often write down the points you make so i can reflect on them and hopefully implement them into my life one day. you possess such a beautiful mind and soul. i wish you so much love and light throughout your life. i hope to one day be able to thank you personally for all you have provided me. you have helped me deal with loss, depression, and all the cumbersome shit life throws on us sometimes. you have made a positive impact on my life and the countless lives of others, and i hope you are aware of that. so much love 🌷🌷🌷
girll, your skin and mine are like telephatically connected, cuz they have both been gradually clearing up lately!! it's reassuring to have somebody with me on this journey. thank you for making my day with your content and existence! ^.^
we are spirtually holding hands babe... like star sisters, we got this
thank you for this video. i’m at a time in my life where i truly needed these words and i shall now take time to focus on my progress over my mistakes and be happy for what i have done correctly instead of putting myself over my mistakes. you are truly amazinf
I love turning these on and listening to them while I do my makeup. it's extraordinarily therapeutic. thank you ♥️
you're so motivational sara and i love your positivity!!
i am so happy i came across your youtube channel. i look forward to each and every one of your videos because you inspire me. you have changed my perspective on so many things. i love you so much. you're such a beautiful person.
your old videos always pop up in my recommended exactly when I need them. thank you for sharing your wisdom Sara, I hope you're doing well ❤
was cleaning. now I’m not cleaning lol.
love love love you girlyyy, always look forward to seeing you. watching one of your vids are always the highlight of my day 💛
DOES THIS MEAN WE CELEBRATE WHEN YOU HIT A MILLION :D
Why wait? Let's celebrate the fact that she is at 911k (:
I just got the butterflies 😭😭😭🙌🏽❤
Your videos are so well thought out, I never even thought of how celebrations stop after a certain point and it is sad! We need to celebrate the little things because it makes the bigger progressions easier to get to! :)
People who lived their lives with people who celebrated progress are really lucky. No one celebrated anything at all in my circles really. I never felt like someone is proud of me unfortunately and that made me really depressed I have to admit and still cant get completely out of it. I did some stuff that I was proud of myself, like photography , arts and much more and yeah, no one ever celebrated or told me that I was good and I knew I was doing well. I know that we all should celebrate by ourselves and that is right, but that lack of interest in me from close people made a big impact on me through years. I feel You on this, yet sometimes its not that easy to make yourself think and feel this way. You make so much sense and I resonate with all Your videos on thoughts about life and things. I went through some serious life situations too. Much love to You
Updated skin care routine !? 😍😍 love you so much Sara ❤️
I always watched your videos, the long ones, even when you would get off track and change subjects all the time 😁 not that I minded that, as I said - I watched those too, but I just realized now you don’t do that! You’ve been so focused and full of information with this message, love it!
I've been realizing theres a time and a place to be goofy and my informational videos aren't always easy to understate as is and I really want to get my butt back into school so the thinking cap has been super glued on 😭🙌🏽❤
+Sara K understand *🤦🏼♂️
Sara K yesss girl! I’m rooting for you! That is amazing :) so inspirational to see you now, what a hard time you had with your tragedies and skin and all.. and now you’re glowing like a little star that you are! Both outside & from within! This is just the beginning for you! And seeing you become even better and stronger after struggles that most of us (thank god) never come even close to is a blessing to me! A good use of social media, with all the fake accounts that cause us to feel envy and depressed, your channel is a wind in everyone’s back, if they’re here long enough! I’m so proud of you. ❤️
You’re such a wise and beautiful soul, I love these videos ❤️ they always seem to come at the perfect time.
"don't strive for perfection, strive for progression" - Sara K, 2018
Thank you so much. I was having a bit of a breakdown last night because I really fucked something up a while ago that I haven't been able to fully forgive myself for. I am just trying to take things one moment at a time and look back on my accomplishments so far when I feel stuck. It has really helped to be kind to myself and celebrate the little things. All I can do now is focus on that goal once again and keep working towards it rather than beating myself up for what I did that I can't take back.
I resonated with this video so much and I needed to hear it. I appreciate you.
It is really one of ur best talks .. thanks a lot I think I need to reward myself for those times I was waiting someone else to rewarded me which made me so disappointed despite all my big progressions that I have made.
Also I'm always waiting to the end of the goal to make the celebration (which obviously no one care about) but from now I decided to celebrate the progression 💪
Thanks a lot Sara u open my mind ❤💫
this video speaks to me so much. thank u Sara, for allowing me to expand my mind 💞
this comment!!!!!! babe expand your mind till it reaches the other dimensions
I needed this video so much, thank you!! I feel more encouraged and want to be more self aware 🤧✨
During my journey I have learned great lessons such as these , I would like to share them with everyone here and you Sara. I had almost the same experience even the accident. 1. Don't have expectations of you or others, they will be the slow death of you.. 2. Be aware of your own milestones and be proud no matter the destination or course. 3.A reminder I give myself** As bitter an angry as someone can be because of there own journey, we all need HUMANITY💕 ... 4. Most important.. We need to learn how to except love just as much as giving love. Its soo important!!
This was a great video! Loved it so much! 💕😇
thank you for leaving this... everyone needs to see this and i truly hope they do.
those were amazing things to be able to say you have learned Jenn, not many will be able to say they have so that is also something you should be proud of yourself for. again thank you for this comment and for taking the time to watch my video
I agree with you (around 5:03) , however to a certain extent. It is such a defeating feeling, you took the word right out my mouth. It's exhausting when you don't have someone who you can enjoy life with. Celebrating happiness with someone, laughing is truly the best medicine. But laughing and feeling like you don't have to hold back your belly-aching rumble... well that 's the icing on the cake. We as humans need each other in life, and I'm finally starting to realize this concept.. as I am loosing this concept at the same time in my reality ..
Anyways, I've been enjoying your videos recently. I wanted to share my thoughts with you that you've helped motivate in my mind
I LOVE the way you think. I agree with this 1000%, I needed to hear this too
That is just the talk I needed. Thank you Sara for putting out your content and talking that real talk. Your words truly cheer me up, especially nowadays ❤
I'm 43 years old and Sara dear you gave me such a BIG AHA MOMENT!!! I couldn't agree with you more!! Being surrounded with people who always under estimate all the things that
maters to us is killing every motivation and joy in our lives! Not appreciating our achievements deprives us from the spirit that push us to have a target and do our best to reach it!! I will not accept to go on like that!! I will celebrate no mater what!!
“Yea I picked a pimple. Shit” mood
girl. you feel
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Sara!
You're going to be a great mom.
💛
i just love this so much, thank you so much for making my week a bit better :) keep being this amazing and keep being you!
Thanks for this! My brain needed more food lol
Trinity Swan We're all hungry😂
i will feed you for eternity and never make you pay ;)
LOVE this! I needed to hear this. It was as if you were speaking to my soul.
damn i really NEEDED this. everyone always talks about self love to cure perfectionism but have not talked about the act of celebrating progress ! Wow i have some many things to celebrate ! ps. you are so inspiring i am so proud of how far you are coming !
I liked the idea of celebrating the little progress...so I’m in the first month of the first job !! I will celebrate by my self!!! THANK YOU SARA(all love from Saudi Arabia)💞💞💞💞💞✨
Preach girl, PREACH!! Everything I needed to hear you said in this video. Thank you! Just found your channel today and I'm about binge watch your videos lol
I needed this so much. Thank you for blessing everyone with your content. You keep it real. Love you Mama Mellow.
i love these talking videos omgg do they make me think about life. ❤️❤️❤️
just two years and you’re nearly at one million. you’re doing amazing and I’m so proud of your growth👏🏻
Your speech reminds me of how i used to reward myself with good coffee and cake after super- long and super-tough week on my university. Small things but they made me feel soooo good and relaxed. "We need to stop being so obsessed with perfection. We need to become more obsessed with progress"
Inspirational! Thank you so so much for being here, Sara 💖
Holy crap I really needed this. Thank you.
Hi sara.. i love the way you see in everything is very different, detail and it makes sense . I believe you have read alot and it makes you so knowledgeable..
You are so authentically beautiful. Every time I watch your videos I feel less alone in this crazy mess of a world. Thank you, Sara ❤️
I needed this video. I felt like u were directly talking to me.my birthday is coming up soon(march 21) and I been so upset because on one hand I feel like I am excited but last year I was extremely disaponminted on my birthday I planned the perfect 21st birthday but things happened and it never happened. So i feel like why become excited when it's gonna be disappointment again.i try not to get excited about much of any thing cuz I'm always left feeling disappointed. Holidays don't even excite me anymore I literally dread them
well my love i want to tell you Happy early Birthday and I want you to please get yourself something, take yourself somewhere! be so busy celebrating that the day almost passes by quicker than you even wanted it to! i will always be here to celebrate with you. im just an email away. Its okay to be excited and to expect good things to happen, we can bring into our life anything we would like with the proper knowledge and mindset. bring celebration into your life so you dont even need to worry about someone else failing to do so:) thats what ive personally learned is the best so im not left disappointed by anyone and if i am, sadly its on me!
i absolutely love your talking videos, you have such an amazing and gorgeous mind
I always get the intense urge to put Sara's videos into the comments of other peoples videos especially those that contain a lot of closed minded people who need that little boost. Love you Sara xx
Your such an extraordinarily beautiful woman inside and out your so inspirational and strong i would strive to be like you. You have been through so much and u use that to expand your knowledge and thats whats so great about you. I love you and your so beautiful for real
This comment was absolutely beautiful and I want to thank you immensely for leaving it. Thank you
Sara K your welcome ❤❤❤
I wish I was friends with u
Your videos are so uplifting! Thank you :)
thank you for this video, sara - it was much needed.
i watched it while i was doing my makeup and it was so interesting - i really enjoy your talking videos :) your mind is amazing.
- jordan
ahh, when you are so consumed that the end comes so quickly and you're like, well hella i gotta listen to some more and you end up on a whole research tangent. I love this buzz that you often trigger in me!
Oh Sara. Once you reach 40, a sort of liberation hits. It is a beautiful and amazing thing. The fact that you were not "celebrated" honestly ceases to matter because you realize that it isnt the lack of celebration which weakens you but the failures of your expectations. You can celebrate your mile stones and throw a party, but if you expect everyone to attend then you get disappointed. It all turns into this, aint no one gonna treat you right unless you do it yourself. Drop expectations and appreciate the journey. Perfection isnt possible and the true meaning of the word is completion or wholeness. So, consider expectation vs reality, it is an important topic and through it can come true maturity and wisdom.
Your videos really effect me! Thank you, I really appreciate it!
Ty Sarah 💙 you are always a light in my day 💛 i really hope you will have the best 💕
Well.. dat makes alotta sense, truly appreciate wut u said and wut u mean.. thx a lot and I will celebrate lil things in my life from now on.. luv ya sm Sara💜
Good morning Sara💛
Also I love this thank u for these videos🍓
Good morning my love, may this day bring you Bliss and Joy
After watching each of your videos I more and more realise how similar we are, mine and yours opinions, thoughts and other staff that we analyse all the time.
Love you soo much! Your gorgeous and so intelligent!
Thank you soo much Sara.I really needed this.
You know when you hear something that hits you at just the right time and in just the right way and you can’t help but want to cry. But like it’s not a bad cry.. it’s a cleaning cry that feels fresh and relieving but still really sad. Idk, words are hard
Ok but these kinda talking videos literally cure my depression ❤️
thank you for this. You're amazing.
you are forever welcome
I needed this so much right now, Sara. You're awesome and I love you. Jesus bless you bbg.
this is so good. thank you for being real. like seriously . xx
YES!!! Be your own hype man, celebrate yourself everyday. This has been a good reminder.
I love how you're able to clearly express your thoughts, I usually just stutter so much or have to say UMMMMM.. UMM in like every sentence to get my thoughts organized 😂
I noticed this kind of notion with my family when one of my sisters said that i wont be receiving any presents for Christmas because i was “too old” and piece of me didn’t think much of it i was just like “ouch” ok ahahah until I started dating my boyfriend and when Christmas came around my boyfriend wanted me to go Christmas shopping to get gifts for all his family members and everybody in his family was so excited telling each other “i know what im going to get you for Christmas” and i was just like wow this is really neat! And then it hit me... that my family is completely the opposite And then my boyfriend’s family started telling me that they were gonna get me something for Christmas and a piece of me got super excited and i shopped my heart out... what i want to say that it feels so amazing to feel so welcomed and appreciated I realized that to them it wasn’t the money that mattered nor did it matter how old you are it was about the joy and the excitement on people’s faces when they open their gifts and i cant explain how happy that made because that same year I received so many gifts and i felt overwhelmed with the amount of love and gifts I received in contrast I received nothing from my family.
the purest soul to exist.
I know this is off topic but what camera do you use?
Woah, this video really put life in another perspective
These kind of videos give me life
Sarah is extremely wise and her insights help me so much
Sara, you're so wise, so inspirational, so beautiful. please talk about generousity
when we stop appreciating positive progress we refuse to grow, both down with our roots and up with our branches. encourage life. love you mellow mama
I needed to see this thankyou ! It’s weird how this world paint adult life to be boring after a certain point ! Fuck that ima celebrate ,live life, progress every damn day till I die !!! Have a mean day Sara !!! (Mean = cool in Nz slang lol)
This has me thinking about life. I love her video's.
i love this comment. please please always continue to keep thinking about life. remember the book i recommend, "Deep Awake".
we all need to strive to be deeply awake.
Wow I didn't expect to get a response back thanks for liking my comment I enjoy watching your videos keep up the good work.
I'm so grateful for you & that you share these thoughts ❤️❤️❤️
