Thanks for making this video. Thanks for sharing.
This video has come at the right time for me I am literally packing my bags as I am watching this to leave my apartment with no to go but I am genuinely excited of letting go of the outcome and seeing where the universe takes me. I have no interest in looking back at the past. The universe has been genuinely provided me with everything I need
So what happened since? Hope all is okay xx

I pretty much lost everything my business , my finance , my mother.
I realised that this is all witch craft and I repented and gave my life back to Christ.
God was calling back home because I drifted too far away from him and I've never felt more at peace in life than knowing that the blood of Jesus covers me day and night and the holy spirit guides my footsteps ❤️
My problem is even though I have this knowledge - that the universe has my back, and I’m seeing signs like the number 23 everywhere this year - I keep doubting the signs, myself and the possible outcomes working out in my favor. It’s heartbreaking because I know this self-doubt is rooted in my childhood, and even though I’ve helped to heal generational trauma in my family externally I still have this… fear of failure inside of me that’s overwhelming at times.
This is what I've been struggling the most. Although I'm always trying to trust universe and things work out for me, oftentimes I found myself worrying so much about the future. I may watch this video every day as a reminder. Thank you for sharing your wisdom 😌
Took me 52 years to learn this...nicely articulated bro...
This was sooo inspirational, I even ordered the book you recommended. Thank you so much !
Thank you so much for this video!!!
Life changing
I've been hearing about this concept for a long time. And I love it. But it hasn't been easy for me to let go of my need for control and it is tearing me apart. I came to this video because I know and feel like I need a change. I can not continue overthinking every situation so that I avoid making mistakes. I want to always make the perfect decision and it puts too much pressure on me.
Right now, looking for a room to rent, I have gone through SO MUCH stress... I want the perfect size, good lightning, a cheap price and a central location... how is that even suppose to work?! Of course, I would end up stressed.
So I made a decision some minutes ago. I took an apartment and I want to just let it flow.... whatever comes, it will be okay and it will meant to be... Now I still have my current apartment and city.... I want to enjoy them ❤ The future can wait. Those last pieces I don't know what to do about, will find their place and this puzzle will take shape. I decide to believe so.
I hope things are working out for you and you've been able to stress less and trust more!🥰
I'd like to send love from Brazil and to tell you that i really enjoy this kind of videos where you're simply speaking your thoughts and believes, i find it beautiful the way you perceive life!
Sending my love back to you friend!
Thank you so much
The house part hit. I live in a house I love. Small but downtown in my city with a huge backyard. I have a 45 min commute to work but see mountains & meet people from all over every day. Even getting closer to my old neighbor.
Unfortunately my ex and I split and I’ve been deemed the ones (me & my pets) to move. I’ll be doubling my rent even for a smaller place. But I know while I’m here, I’m allowed to enjoy the rest of my time here. I’m allowed to be comfortable. I just have to give myself permission.
I know I may leave. I know I have a lot stress ahead of me. But I know it’s just 1 step closer to even more joy and peace as well.
That little tangent at the end, about how strange of a concept life is, is literally me everyday 😭😂 thank you for this video, it was such a joy to watch
phases and seasons, gotta let things come and go. the illustration of the paths is so good.
I really like the things you talk about, you inspire me!
Love this community man one of the first TH-camrs I genuinely feel like damn he's more than a guy on a screen
Wow! Thank you so so much for this video 💛 It came into my life at the PERFECT time. I'm recording my first musical project and have been dealing with so much anxiety around the outcome/how it will be received. Listening to this perspective is so soothing (like an extended sigh of relief hehe). Thank you for sharing so authentically! Sending my love and gratitude.
oh my goodness i feel like i was meant to find this!! this video is amazing and it resonated with me so much. it is kind of silly to think we have control over everything when the universe is so vast. i also loved how you ended the video with the tree. so funny!!!godspeed to you too my friend :)
Dude i love your videos, you really help me in so many aspects of life
This is my third time coming back to this video. Just wow! The next message you need is always right where you are. Every video you make is so beautifully worded. Much love💛

Loved this video! Just hearing more people talk about this is so refreshing! I've heard this concept so many times but hearing your explanation really helped some things click for me! Thank u!😄
Such a great video. Thank you!
Genuinely enjoy this channel. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this. You’ve helped me more than you know. 😁
Loved this so much you have inspired me to focus on being in the present and trusting the universe. this was really reassuring thank you!!
Loved it. Simply loved it. Thanks mate, have a lovely day, love from France
The drawing at 7:29 is excellent! Thank you for this great insight and inspiration. I love the background moving shadows on the right of the screen behind you, watching the video a second time and focusing on the moving shadows is very meditative.
Loved this!!!! Thank you for the reminder about all these things that I’ve somehow known always but I’d forgotten. So much inspiration!!! THANK YOU😍💓
So relatable. Thank you
I love you man thank you, your video helped me realize that it's not so serious I appreciate people like you that love to talk and spread positivity. I universe has your back brother 💯
I am listening to this for the second time in a row so it can seep in me. I really appreciate this again
So glad I just now stumbled upon you. Many many thanks!
Okay you're my new favorite TH-camr lol this was unbelievably helpful! Thanks. 🙏🏻
I just randomly came across this, I want to say I love the video! I agree with you and I really haven't seen anyone else explain what you are. Oh, and I just like your personality too. The commentary is relaxed but coherent and makes a whole lot of sense.
Thank you for your nice perspective at the right time.. love Gabby she's amazing , and your cat is really so cute 🥰
You are just the must cutest person! I generally loved watching and listening to you. Thank you made my heart happy
Excellent content ! Thank you🎉
Thank you for this🙏
Love this
Your vibe matches my vibe, that’s how I got here! Relating to your words and energy feels good. Thanks for this video! Definitely not coincidental that I ended up here! “Keep at it! Stay the course of your personal journey!” That’s what I got from this video! 🤙🏾
thank you for this ❤
inspired by your video I just had a - I hereby give my life to spirit- celebration.
Its so true, the "bad things" are often the best things that could ever happen. I can look back at some pretty awful stuff and see how it has all worked out formy ultimate good.
This really put me at ease. Thank you!
The modern day ram dass. Thank you for sharing this insight.
I LOVE THIS! You are golden! I’ve shared many of these thoughts. You’re so smart, and very underrated. Just subscribed ❤️
Thank you so much!!
I appreciate you for this! It really “clicked” for me! New sub !!!! 🎉😊
There is no universe. There's only personal initiative. Med school or law, work hard, control your life, take control...
Try taking the "back seat" and surrender - you'll probably end up homeless.
To each his own..... you do you...
Wow this video helped me so much man. Been so scared about things for so fucking long. i needed this. Thank you so so much!
This is such a wonderful video mate, bravo
谢谢！So helpful
Thank you 💛
Fastest TH-cam Subscribtion EVER...Great video
Thanks bro
I have been on a similar journey and have heard this idea before, which makes it refreshing to hear someone else find a way to not only utilize it, but but explain it a more 'palatable' way, so to speak.
Your approach to this resonated with me, in no small part, because of the profanity. For some fucking reason, important shit seems to click more when seasoned with some spicy language. Sounds odd, but the fuck do I care?
Anyway, something I'd offer as well is, this shift will take practice and when you get caught up in some dumb shit and forget to trust that it's all for the good, we tend to slid back into negative thoughts. I'm still working on making this mindset more permanent, but wanted to thank you for putting this out there!
Also, your cat seems chill AF!-)
Human reached!
Universal consciousness. Universal spirituality. Universal love.
Nothing but the truth. No
myths, no fairy tales. The universe is an old trusted friend of mine . For 65 years now . 333
🙏🏼
My problem is not the trusting the universe part, it’s the letting go part. I feel like I‘m never doing enough because I don’t see results (yet).
George just discovered your teachings at the perfect divine timing 😊🌟 thank you so so much 🌛 your reading list link seems not to be working for me 😕
Could you do more videos on trusting the universe? Thanks!!
I downloaded that book with Kindle a few years ago, but only read a few pages. I'll read it now...
Wow you really did say it in the best way I have heard yet.. very impressed and you were right! Your way did hit differently with me and I feel the universe has been telling me I need to let go and after watching you this morning it’s only confirmed this … I do have a question for you , I have been on my spiritual journey for a few years I know exactly how it all works and now my final journey is to let it all go , but I do struggle to be present with my past subconscious being a massive over thinker, so my question is so let go of the controlling of my mind to keep in the present or shall I just simply be ans let go even if my mind wonders a lot and I think a lot ? I’ve had some great signs lately when I’ve controlled my thoughts and been fully in the here and now I’m im wondering if that’s me trying to control things still?? Any advive would be great to hear it from you and your talented ways , peace and love . Thank you , keep up the great work
I loved this. First video of yours I've seen. I struggle with trusting the Universe, but I want to. And I work at it every day. BUT... Could you give your perspective on the Problem of Evil? This is a difficult reality of life that it seems many beliefs have difficulty answering. Do you have any thoughts on how we can trust the Universe when there is so much pain, unfairness, injustice, and more? I am not really challenging the necessity of trusting the Universe, but I am looking for guidance from others who have learned to do so. Trusting the Universe seems a little easier for me if I just think about my own life and how difficulties have been stepping stones. But applying that same perspective to a world that seems chaotic, out of control, confused, and evil (for lack of a better description) is very difficult. Especially when I think to myself (sorry for the gruesome example, but extremes are needed to really capture the Problem of Evil), "If I were being tortured and then died, could I trust the Universe then? What about when others go through this? How do I trust the Universe?" I am eager to hear your thoughts!
Hi george
Faith
george i was your 69th like on this vid😏 anyways bro good vid i loved it. i am still young but you gave me a different perspective on some things in my life, i dont need to hold onto one outcome that is very true cause i always hope for 1 outcome and i need to open up on that.
Amazing listening January 1st 2024
I love this advice! Only thing for me is I’m going to substitute trusting the universe with trusting God. God has a plan for me and I will let him take control ❤
🙏🏼❤️
Hey, I know this mindset would be more healthy for me to adopt but I still have trouble making it stick or making it become my default way of thinking. How would you practically go about changing this
Letting go of outcomes/things U can't control, and believing the universe has a plan and totally letting go, sound like two different things to me.
The first sounds like "I can't control anything except my own actions, and I let go of controlling the rest" and not obsessing over super specific results n such,
but the second sounds like resignation to me.
Like what if Ur in a terrible situation, and acting can allow U to potentially change things, but just letting go would leave U in that bad place?
For example, I can't see how to apply "trust the universe and let go" to someone in say Gaza with all they're suffering from
Or even to people who are safe bystanders of such things, I can't imagine saying just trust and let go, I feel encouraging action and struggle to help those kinds of things makes more sense there
I love being present and letting go of many things, and not being unnecessarily serious, I LOVE GOOFY ESS and light-heartedness n such
Tho, I believe there's probably a nuanced way to word these ideas that Ur discussing in this video that lands kinda in the middle of everything I'm saying here
I think just the way you've worded this video sounds good in some situations, but wildly out of touch in others
"Trusting things are gonna go where they're supposed to" if say my family just got blown up, or if somebody else's family did while I'm just sittin cozy, that sounds INSANE to me, you know?
I've been trying but it difficult I have no guidance no help and I'm stuck in the dark knight of the soul no motivation what so ever
Meditate
Surrender
You will make it through ❤️
Trust God/Jesus (universe)
Trusting the universe= let go let God.
omg what a gorgeous girl 😍🥰
How do you explain the successes of highly motivated and control driven people? Do you think famous movie stars
, or CEOs, or artists, or musicians, or doctors ever said to themselves “I’m just going to let the universe do its thing, sit back and relax”? I know success is defined different ways but nothing can happen to you unless you make it happen. Yes, trying to control everything is bad, but not being in the driver’s seat is also very very bad.
Success is relative. Does it mean commercial success for you? For me it means inner peace & joy. Both are valid; it’s a choice for each individual to make. For much of my upbringing I prioritized commercial success because that’s how I was raised. But when I started inquiring within, I realized that inner peace is far more important to me than external success. I encourage you to check out “Beyond Success - Ram Dass Full Lecture 1987” on TH-cam
There is a video of Willem Dafoe talking about his career where I understood that he did not consider himself an actor for a long time, he became it "by accident". To me, it's not about just letting everything happen and watch your life pass, it's more about doing what you believe is right for you, being at peace while engaging in your actions, doing things without doing.
💞💯💫👏👍💕
... I trust the Universe- I pass a Green Light at the Intersection - another trusts the Universe - and passes the Intersection at his Red Light - and he wins and kills me. We both trust. He wins. The Universe rewards the Winners...
heey, thanks so much! looked for "trust the universe" videos the last couple of days, nothing reaaally clicked, but this did.
Why trust the creation, rather trust the CREATOR instead... :P
Are you the guy from past lives?
let the universe take control, just as your bodily functions are autonomous. if you're intereted in this stuff, there are actual experts who talk on in, not these ramblings. alan and ram are good starts.
Um are you sure you're not in my head reading my thoughts? Future-based thinking is the worst thing that has been happening.
Why don't you replace the word Universe with God?
I’m concerned that you will be taken advantage of
My take:
Impossible to take advantage of someone who trusts in the universe. Only possible to take advantage of someone who relies on approval of others. There is no leverage on someone who does not need approval of others.
Taoism bro
OK, not a cat lover. I'm scrolling.
