    Wow, I wanted to cry seeing this. I’ve been in a job I am miserable with and I have two children with a man Ive been with but never married to for 14yrs. I have feel very miserable and complacent. I really do need to change my life for the better. God Bless you all.

    Im a college student taking one of the most sought after degree programs in my university and only a few get to get in. All my life I just wanted to have people recognize me for who I am and what I can do and when I got in, I just felt lost. I felt nothing. The things I remember having the utmost drive and passion to do the best I can was just lost.
    And then I stumbled upon this video late at night, backlogged with deadlines and studying for exams, that I realized that this haze and grey mood was just me getting comfortabvle with the achievements that i have gotten for getting into that program. I just have to take that leap of faith into something new
    thanks for the talk

    thank you for attempting to relate to the homeless, unlike many selfish people. don't underestimate the homeless. this is so positive for them!

    I feel very inspired by your talk. It takes a lot of courage to admit to ourselves who we really are and what we really want. I think that happiness is living the life that you want wholeheartedly even if that means abandoning all of our (illusionary) securities. Happy and fulfilled people have the power to turn this world into a better place. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    What a powerhouse of guts. She empowers people; even homeless men. They're just men w/o a home; she gave them purpose.

    Very good message😂Staying comfortable is NOT good if you're NOT happy.
    Being afraid of NOT having something concrete or totally secure of what might happen can STOP your true happiness 🤣

    Thank you for this video along with the others. My Fathers addiction was to alcohol. Due to that, I never became involved wth drugs, and am a minimum social drinker (most times I will just get a soda at the bar while singing Karaoke,,). Your video also made me think back to 1997, when my wife and I divorced after layoffs in 1994 and my suffering depression. I had been the one that did most for the children, exept the hours while I was at work, traveling for business, or in naval Reserves. In 1997 my son was 11, and daughter 8. Due to my financial condition, I needed to return to Maine from Connecticut. My family (brothers, grandparents, aunt, and cousins) was all here except the children. I had jobs come and go, then ended up homeless several times. It has taken some years for my daughter to communicate, but I hope to see her soon, for the first time in over 15 years.

      @@sagasitches6730 Thank you for the comment. We still just exchange email messages occasionally. They did not even come up for the memorial service two years ago when their cousin died of suicide. I had let them know that he was missing (not wanting them to see it on the news). I am in Maine, while they are in Connecticut and New York. His body was found hanging from a tree two weeks later. In the time since, I have been active with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Objective Zero (veteran suicide prevention), and the "Yellow Tulip Project" (one to prevent suicide for children in school).
