By the time they're old enough to realize how strong you've been for them especially in a time like this, they're going to love you even more so for continuing to show them what a good man and father is supposed to be and they'll carry that image with them for the rest of their lives, and when it's all said and done you'll be able to sit back and see that all of the work and effort you've put in will have been truly worth it. They're proud of you and so are we, so keep it up bro. Much love 👑

Can anybody help me out with this question in life which is: Joshy says to not blame others and point out that they did this and did that and just support the pain, but how do I do this when my neighbors is blasting out loud music all the time and all i do is blame then that they are wrong about this and that they should respect me, what would joshua say or do in my situation?
@@knowledge_harvester he says that you must stop to point fingers everywhere when bad things occur, and isntead try to learn a lesson from it. To be better off.
I once believed that one does not require hope if they lack self pity. But feeling sorry for yourself has its use. It's how one recognizes that something is missing or wrong with their life. It's okay to feel sorry for yourself if it gets you to do something about it.
If only it worked that way in the real world. There is no "god" here in the way you think there is. Source can only help us help ourselves, but deceit guile and subterfuge will always win out in the end because the material plane favors selfishness.
@@LupusMechanicus The gains that God gives you aren't material. Why should a loving God reward his people with objects of decaying matter? The world will take you in the end, and if He was to reward us with an easy life, our reward dies with us along with our purpose. The world will provide you with the material fortune you seek, as it is the god that many worship. Those who act out of malice are worshiping the selfish nature of the world, and the world rewards them for what they do. The world, like its servants, does not do this out of love or kindness, but simply for its own benefit. It is a god who thrives off of the power and importance we give it. To gain much material wealth, but to lose your dignity, honor, and soul is not fortune, only a bad investment. The greatest fortune you can gain is a fortune that does not leave you, and such is the fortune God offers.
@@random-_-dude The only reward is being removed from endless reincarnation and suffering, you will not be you if allowed out of samsara because you are not your physical self. Upon returning to source your individual experience ceases to exist.
@@LupusMechanicus Then what? You have removed everything about yourself. You cannot experience true bliss if you can feel nothing. If life is so selfish, its purpose shouldn't be to end itself, and to leave this existence to escape it is itself a selfish urge. If life is a cycle, there is no urgency to escape it as you will have many tries later, and the rule of probability would state that everyone will eventually find a way out. But there is an urgency. If you're incorrect about the cycle, you have only wasted your time on a selfish and suicidal action. I find no fortune in this.
@@LandMrks sometimes doing nothing is the best course of action. what do you think you are supposed to lose your mind and delete yourself? im pretty sure their is nuance to why he aint leave this was quite some time ago.
This one of the best uses I've seen of the Ai voice sites. As funny as it is to watch the presidents bicker over whether the Ncr or Legion would win at the battle of hoover damm This feels like its true purpose. To take characters such as Joshua, who is loved for his hardships, his journey, and general badassery. And have their voice recite a message as strong as this one. Its amazing. Please do make more!
Saw one the other day of master chief showing you how to draw that cool "S" every one at school knows how to draw. Need one of Cpt Price teaching me how to do my taxes.
Wait WHAT? YOU WROTE THIS? I've been listening to this on repeat for months now. This along with "On Providence" by Seneca got me through my darkest times. Everything said in this is simply truth to it's core. No pushing ideals onto people, no fake moralism, but a direction for those who choose to be themselves over going along with the masses. I thought this was a philosopher's text like Seneca's. I'm so glad I lived in your time to be able to appreciate your work.
After finding out that the only person who has shown interest in me had been lying and using me for my money I came home weeping my eyes out and this was the one thing that caught my attention. The thumbnail alone made me personally stop crying and think to myself "What would a person like Joshua do in this situation". I can't thank you enough for this work you have done, while it might not be a solution to my problem it is surely comforting. Thank you
They say the strong are kind. You're strong, I can tell by your kindness. Those who wronged you are weak for they are defensive yet aggressive with their agenda. Gods be with you
Calm yourself, and rest your eyes dear friend. Everything's going to be alright, don't give up on people but especially don't give up on yourself. Stay strong, and be fluid else you turn to dust.
I am sorry for the fate that has met you my friend, however the sadness and frustration of a betrayal is only the temporary while the strength of your mind, your will and your soul is eternal once found I wish you luck on the path that awaits for you in your journey
I’m a burn victim and I relate to this. I remember I was reading Ernst Junger and I stopped at one passage minutes before the fire. “Show me how you react to pain and I’ll show you who you are” I’m not sure why I read that right before I was burning but it’s stuck with me. I remember I heard myself scream and it didn’t sound like me, I fell to my knees and thought about someone I love then I thought “People Die Like This.” . I could smell my flesh burn and see the flames on my shirt and jacket, I stuck my hands into the fire and tore as hard as I could until the cloth tore and I was free. Then I finally felt pain. A helicopter ride and three skin grafts later and I was mostly normal again.
It gives me great hope that there are others in this world creating and seeking messages like these, honing their ideals, and putting them into action. Whoever is reading this, I wish you luck on your journey.

My fire burns. Sometimes brightly. Sometime it only flicker, and it is tough to stoke back to a roaring blaze. Fortunately, others like yourself come along and see that my fire is dwindling and with your comment provide me the kindling I need to return it back to the fire that stokes the coals of my determination. I can only hope that if I haven't returned the favor that someone in my stead does very soon.
“Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.”

Thia is just an Ai voice from a fictional character from a videogame, but at the same time it is so inspiring, Joshua is my favorite character from FNV, and to hear him give these life lessons makes me so happy. To the creator behind this, Thank You Bro, you are a very wise person
This is simply genius. Using Grahame, a character portrayed as being wise and virtues, to display philosophical advice to our post-modern world is exactly what we need for our generation. This is simply good writing and I thank you for posting this.
"you dont need to leave a legacy, or be big and strong all the time, you just need to be the fire in the darkness and warm the hearts around you to be a good man" this is what i needed to hear for a very long time. I've been striving for greatness but i've never been one that wanted to be great. I just wanted to be content with who I am and the ones that are around me.
I’ve never felt a tear drop down my face from any speech. I may only be 18, but the writing, the message, the weight that this monologue had, somehow took a tole on me and crashed on me. I have not cried this hard since the passing of my family member. I thankyou, for constructing this masterpiece of whatever this is, which I cannot put into words, but thankyou.
I found you yesterday was instantly hooked. The combination of the voice, atmosphere, and the writing are amazing. What you have said here is genuinely better then most of the "advice" found not just on TH-cam but found anywhere. You are truly a font of wisdom and a good person for sharing it. Though we may not say it I belive I can speak for most people when I say, thank you
As a father and a husband, I think on this question quite often. Listening to this has not only inspired me, but has also helped strengthen my resolve in my spousal and parental endeavors. Thank you for this.
"Do you wish to dominate others? Or do you wish to bring out the potential in yourself and those around you? These are the decisions that decide which path we are pursuing: Power or Force. All great men wield Power. A Power of character that is unmistakable when in the prescence of. A person's who's fingers are grazing the infinite, and a mind that flows with the rivers of time." As a struggling BJJ white belt, this hit me like a giant philosophical freight train. I appreciate you taking the time to share your ideas on masculinity with us today.
Those words hit hard for me the same, blue belt here. Pride myself on the fact i focus on helping my training partners get better not just smashing them lol.
@Taco Thursdays we all struggle as white belts, we all just have different struggles. Some struggle to learn the art due to lack of athleticism, some with the inability to learn from loss, some from poor work ethic, some from poor diet. This art isnt just whats on the mat, but how to push yourself to improve,physically and mentally. Thats just my opinion tho.
"A man wields power. A coward wields force." I never thought there was a difference. I always assumed power was force and was thus something to be renounced. I like this take.
Jordan peterson has always implied this; true virtue is having the ability to destroy the world, and being able to control it. Without control, a man that has power is simply a barbarian.
As a man who was mostly raised by his grandmother, I wasn't really taught to be a man, only taught to be polite and good. So as I got older I struggled with manhood and identity, there was even a time where I was dipping my toes in the transgender pool. But even now, at the age of 23, I still struggle but I have been practicing balancing my masculinity and femininity. Do I blame the way I was raised? No. Do I blame my father not really being there for me? No. I can't blame anything or anyone, except to keep moving forward, for time waits for no one. The way I see it, being a man can mean really anything. But to me, a man is strong, not physically, but mentally. This is what I strive to improve. Sure, I have moments where I crumble, but I still get myself back together. To all men who read this. No matter your opinions, views, race, upbringing, etc. I love you. Let's improve together.
As someone who has difficulty to express myself, this comment is so close to what I want to write here, I had a similar raising not but not because my dad was absent but because most of my family are woman, also it doesn't help that I already look a little like a girl and I'm very shy so don't talk to people about myself... A lot of people thought I was trans or something... I don't think I am but I do enjoy more feminine stuff What I want to say is that both this video and this comment resonate with me and is what I was needing in my path to become a better person (Sorry if the grammar is awful, English isn't my first language and I am very bad at communicating normally, even in my native language)
For the men who have no dad or their dad didn’t do right by them this is the speech every father must have with their son, spoken or with actions. Many young men are lost in this life because they never had this told to them I’m blessed to have had this from my own dad , do what you know is right and even if the destination is far the steps you took on the journey is what you will remember and be remembered for at the end.
I’ve tried to write this comment several times, but each time it just doesn’t feel right. I don’t know how you did it, but it felt like you knew me and were personally addressing my problems. Each time I’ve tried to make change, I just end up back where I started or even a little worse. I just wanted to thank you for your words in this video, and if you ever doubt these videos are helping anyone. I can promise you’ve they’ve helped at least one, and from the other comments, many more. Maybe this try at change will be like the last, or maybe it won’t be, but I’ve realized that I haven’t failed until I give up.
We never stop changing, but that's one of the beautiful things about life. All you can do is try to make that change a positive one, and like what was said in the video, live in the moment and love others. Have a great day
As a dude in his mid 20's, I'm kind of feeling a bit lost lately but damn, inspiration can be found in the most unexpected of places. Thank you so much for this.
Replayed this four times over, wrote some quotes down on six flash cards with every line filled. I tape quotes like these to my door so I see them before I step outside every morning and night. Thank you for making this.
There will be more dark days ahead brother, for the anchor does not excuse the storm. That anchor ultimately being God, holds us firm through the storm, but most certainly doesn't excuse it from our lives no matter deserving or undeserving we think we are. After sailing the sea of life at first without and now with that anchor, I can now stand firm in life during these storms in my life through the stability and foundation that has been extended to me through His grace. God does not want anyone to be religious, but rather, he wants you to be His; he wants you to give your heart. I pray you accept that love that has been seeking you one day, and that I see you In heaven Ace. Stay safe my friend, God Bless.
"Some however will succumb to the darkness and never return. We see many people like this today. They are ruled by their shadow. Ruled by anger and false justifications. They see oppression everywhere. They feel subjected and angry. But they have not learned one of the great lessons of life. That life is hard and it is hard for everyone." Man, this hits hard when I think of the past 3 years and the glorification of victimhood.
What are you thinking of when you say "glorification of victimhood" though, because knowing TH-cam, it's 50/50 between you meaning actual victims of injustices making their voices heard, like people protesting state violence against minorities, and people trying to live their best lives being accused of trying to corrupt children, or people who listen to scaremongering news anchors telling you things like "the unwashed foreign hordes are coming to steal your jobs", and "the medicine is actually a grand jewish conspiracy, eat the horse drugs, if you prevent disease you are helping the Bilderberg cabal subvert society" etc TL;DR do you mean actual victims, or those who appropriate the moniker of victim to excuse their immorality
If you think life is hard for the very wealthy you are really deluded lol. Only the rich and beautiful strive. The poor and ugly suffer. It has always been this way and forever will be.
@@ilikepancakes2368I’m sure kids who are ravished with living in famine and living off a dollar a day, would say someone like you with obvious internet, a phone or computer and clothes, food and I’m sure a job with living family members and friends who I hope care for you; those people might say you’re rich and wealthy living the life. Just as the video said, it is hard for everyone. Who’s to say those rich and wealthy individuals weren’t once poor and at the bottom of society at one point? It’s all about perspective, get away from your own defeatist mentality and stop feeling sorry for yourself. You’ve got to work with what you got.
I survived a very severe illness that almost killed me at 21 and have come to this sort of worldview and viewpoint. As I walk through life I constantly feel that I have knowledge no one else seems to understand, and I struggle to teach others but many don't want to listen. I've learnt not to indulge lonliness, to seek solace in myself, in meditation and in God. But it's a small comfort to know that there those out there that understand. That peace is not getting everything you want; peace is not wanting more. Thank you for this Aogiri, God bless.
I NEED this monologue written out and performed somewhere important. Seriously, Aogiri, this is your best yet. Actually, that's an understatement- this writing is one for the ages. Monologues like these deserve to be in museums.
Who ever wrote this. It is powerful, comforting, and though provoking. Thank you. I needed this message today. My father isn't here anymore and passed. But I feel this is the exact same advice he'd give me at another Wednesday lunch, but in 2023.
I wish you nothing but abundance as well as the inner fire that your father has joined to live within your heart to brightly shine when you see your own reflection.
Pretty sure this is all from stoics, didn't read meditations in a long time but there is a lot from Marcus Aurelius and Zeno. All memes aside Stoics were probably the smartest people ever (as far as understanding inner self goes).
@@timmykkgb Since you're clearly uneducated about the matter, I will spell it out for you. When you minor in something, you learn a lot about said thing. Does that make you an authority? no, and on one claimed to be. What it DOES do, is give you a perspective on that thing. Clearly you didn't pay much attention in school, otherwise you'd know this.

I don’t care if Joshua read this to me, YOU, the author, share a message only so few can learn on their own accord through years of self work. You helped jump start thousands of people’s lives. I don’t think there’s more to say to it then that. Thank you.
What I've observed is that people who believes god says their god loves you. But agnostic/atheist people always say i love you. Idk which one you find more comforting.
@@stressedbyamountainofbooks I, personally, am a little more comforted by the direct love of another person than the person in the sky that has never talked to me. Of course, that's my choice, and other people make others, and that's okay!
@@banjomanperson God has different ways of communicating. From what I hear from other people it's more that communication is in paths and experiences in life rather than a direct human-like conversation.
The feelings and memories after a bad day are the worst, they amplificates absolutely everything in the wrong way, I wish you courage in your struggles, I felt that too much..
Oh man... I've never played a Fallout game, but ever since a video about Joshua Graham was recommended to me, I've been in love with the character and his voice. Joshua Graham Reads The Bible is an amazing video, even though I'm not religious, I still listen to it. Now this life advice video with his voice and character is a gift. Awesome!
@@comradejux Joshua and the rest of the dead horses are Mormon. He goes into full detail onto why he thinks religion is important and why he converted. He quotes a few Bible verses here and there but I feel like the most impactful thing he said is “I have been baptized twice, once in water, once in flame”
Turn to Christ my friend. If you think scripture is calming then you will find a relationship with Christ is even more so in the long run. What is holding you back?
@@Southron-CiK If you think scripture is calming, then you have not read the scripture. I truly believe that if more people read the bible without any intervention by any outside source that tells them how they should think (specifically without being told by other people what those people think each verse is supposed to mean), then less people would believe in what the bible has to say. I can't speak to other religions/scriptures as I have no experience with them, but these are my thoughts on religions that follow the bible.
"Part of the process of becoming a man is to stop feeling bad for yourself." Absolute words to live by. I myself still feel bad about me, and feel like I'm unworthy and have much work left to do. I've gotten better accepting my circumstances, but I still find myself regretting lack of action in the past, or taking so long to better myself. I'm about to turn 27, but I just put off building myself up when I moved out in 2018. Its 2023, and I now feel this fire to make something of myself, make a life worth living, and use the wisdom I've acquired to guide those that come after me. I'm going back to university, and know where I want to take my career, and get my bachelor's in. I want to be there for my brothers (best friends), my partner, and should I have children, guide them along the path, until they themselves are ready to be on their own. And I want to be able to explore this life to the fullest and be able to afford my hobbies and interests as well. So, while I still have work left to do, I've accepted the process, and understand how I will live my life now.
Besides this being solid advice, it's also fantastic character writing. Bethesda or Obsidian should hire you if they ever remake New Vegas or make a sequel.
I love these brother. I am currently in Bali writing this a out to go to Australia on my working visa at the age of 30. I've just completed my coding bootcamp back in my home country, I left this country because I want something bigger and brighter. Coding is not my passion but if I work in the industry for 2 years I can accomplish my dream. Joshua Graham is my guide and my Sheppard if you like, I'm not religious but by god I would follow him to battle.
Thank you for making this video. 3 years ago I was took a copious dose of MDMA and was spiked by a close friend that gave me meth capsules in place of what I believe was MD. For about 3 years since then I believe I destroyed a large amount of my memories and critical thinking and understanding of philosophy like in this video, and hearing this has lead me back on the path of being more in control of my way of handling the world around me and expanding my thoughts and emotions and being an observer before making decisions. I learned a lot more here than I ever had before I damaged my thinking around that time. So I really appreciate this video more than you could imagine
Keep on the path brother, we're all trying to figure it out. Some are challenged more in life than others, just keep moving forward - whatever pace and however it looks.
As someone who is struggling recently with anxiety over the pressure of trying to achieve success, this hit me right in the gut and had me in tears. What a beautiful, harsh, and honest piece of art. I wish there were more things similar to this in the world ❤
Anxiety is harsh, and the struggle is real and taxing. It can be done, but it isn't easy or instantaneous as flipping as switch. For whatever it's worth from a random stranger on the internet, best of luck - honestly.
The part where he says not to blame others hits hard. At a certain point pointing the finger against the world does nothing but only hinder your ability to grow and change. Life’s not fair at all. We are blessed to be able to walk and be healthy but yet we still complain about everything. Even if your life does suck there’s nothing you can do but accept it and see how you can move forward. God speed 🔥
This is my creed. I’ve never heard it put into words but it’s the truths I’ve gathered and realized myself over my nearly 30 year journey. Now that it is verbalized I will listen to this affirmation every single day until I can recite it myself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You earned my sub.
id love to hear him talk about how to deal with grief and loss. lost a lot of people I love recently and videos like these are really helping try to navigate these feelings
I have no idea if this will help you, but for me it helped too let what i was feeling go through me instead of keeping it in, i tried too remember that even though they are gone their memory of who they were before they passed will always be there, and instead of feeling like it was the end i tried too look at it like a new beginning.
I have been, lost as to what i wish to do in life, lost as to what i want from it. And when my soul wanders from my body i go here, and contemplate. The voice of Joshua grahm and the wisdom of what you say through him is the cure to the spiritual cancers of this modern world. Weather i agree with all of it or not you speak plain truth in most of this, considered an opinion or not, you give me the push i need to be centered between mind body and soul, Thank you Sir, you are a godsend.
I don’t particularly like being melodramatic, but hearing this has truly helped me. I am at a bit of a low point and have a loss of direction, or more specifically who I want to be and what I truly need to change. This has been some of the most well said (or really written) advice that I have heard in a while. So what I am trying to say is, from the bottom of my heart, thank you ❤.
dude i rewatched your videos over and over at work(well really just the fear one, four times now...). these are seriously incredible, plz do more on overall self improvement, people appreciate you and your work

"How much do we stop all distractions and just be with the moment we are in. These things are the genius of a child, and those who are among the dying." Crazy shit
Firstly I feel annoyance when I read "How to be a man", I really have some problems with every "man", that advice me to be a man, a cruel beast, that wants to kill and don't care of opinoins of others and this advice come to me with not straight, but insults about me being irresponsible man, but truth is, this advice came from mouth of my dad, who left me and my mom. I truly thank you, the man, who write this monologue.
Thank you so much for this. I really needed to hear that since I got lost so much in life that I had gone sicker with food and I know getting fit is not going to fix it. Because I know there needs to be something stronger for motivation in life to live for. Not many youtubers do motivational videos like this.
As someone who can relate to a lot of these comments of lost and sadness in different parts of his life who is now dying of cancer at 34 , I am at peace because despite my situation it could be worse , I can still see walk and talk , I find comfort in that.
There is great wisdom in these words. I find myself often coming to the same question of what it means to be a man. Though I am still far from the person I wish to be, I will never stop striving to be better than the person I was yesterday. Though I may stumble and fall from time to time, I will always get back up and push onward. If there are any others out there who feel the same, I hope you eventually find who you are and attain peace
I had good parents. Hardcore Atheist father, Hardcore Christian mother. I understand that though this world is cruel, that it is both easy and impossible to overcome that cruelty. There are too many factors but if you are here, now reading this comment, your ancestors fought, survived, thought ahead, planned, endured, overcame. And now you are here. Man how awesome is today?!
I'm literally crying rn, these words are so fucking beautiful I feel like an idiot writing this from an AI Voice Video but damn, it feels comfortable to hear such things.

If only it worked that way in the real world. There is no "god" here in the way you think there is. Source can only help us help ourselves, but deceit guile and subterfuge will always win out in the end because the material plane favors selfishness.
@@LupusMechanicus The gains that God gives you aren't material. Why should a loving God reward his people with objects of decaying matter? The world will take you in the end, and if He was to reward us with an easy life, our reward dies with us along with our purpose. The world will provide you with the material fortune you seek, as it is the god that many worship. Those who act out of malice are worshiping the selfish nature of the world, and the world rewards them for what they do. The world, like its servants, does not do this out of love or kindness, but simply for its own benefit. It is a god who thrives off of the power and importance we give it. To gain much material wealth, but to lose your dignity, honor, and soul is not fortune, only a bad investment. The greatest fortune you can gain is a fortune that does not leave you, and such is the fortune God offers.
@@random-_-dude The only reward is being removed from endless reincarnation and suffering, you will not be you if allowed out of samsara because you are not your physical self. Upon returning to source your individual experience ceases to exist.
@@LupusMechanicus Then what? You have removed everything about yourself. You cannot experience true bliss if you can feel nothing. If life is so selfish, its purpose shouldn't be to end itself, and to leave this existence to escape it is itself a selfish urge. If life is a cycle, there is no urgency to escape it as you will have many tries later, and the rule of probability would state that everyone will eventually find a way out. But there is an urgency. If you're incorrect about the cycle, you have only wasted your time on a selfish and suicidal action. I find no fortune in this.

I’m a burn victim and I relate to this. I remember I was reading Ernst Junger and I stopped at one passage minutes before the fire. “Show me how you react to pain and I’ll show you who you are” I’m not sure why I read that right before I was burning but it’s stuck with me. I remember I heard myself scream and it didn’t sound like me, I fell to my knees and thought about someone I love then I thought “People Die Like This.” . I could smell my flesh burn and see the flames on my shirt and jacket, I stuck my hands into the fire and tore as hard as I could until the cloth tore and I was free. Then I finally felt pain. A helicopter ride and three skin grafts later and I was mostly normal again.

@Taco Thursdays we all struggle as white belts, we all just have different struggles. Some struggle to learn the art due to lack of athleticism, some with the inability to learn from loss, some from poor work ethic, some from poor diet. This art isnt just whats on the mat, but how to push yourself to improve,physically and mentally. Thats just my opinion tho.

"A man wields power. A coward wields force." I never thought there was a difference. I always assumed power was force and was thus something to be renounced. I like this take.

As a man who was mostly raised by his grandmother, I wasn't really taught to be a man, only taught to be polite and good. So as I got older I struggled with manhood and identity, there was even a time where I was dipping my toes in the transgender pool. But even now, at the age of 23, I still struggle but I have been practicing balancing my masculinity and femininity. Do I blame the way I was raised? No. Do I blame my father not really being there for me? No. I can't blame anything or anyone, except to keep moving forward, for time waits for no one.
The way I see it, being a man can mean really anything. But to me, a man is strong, not physically, but mentally. This is what I strive to improve. Sure, I have moments where I crumble, but I still get myself back together.

What are you thinking of when you say "glorification of victimhood" though, because knowing TH-cam, it's 50/50 between you meaning actual victims of injustices making their voices heard, like people protesting state violence against minorities, and people trying to live their best lives being accused of trying to corrupt children, or people who listen to scaremongering news anchors telling you things like "the unwashed foreign hordes are coming to steal your jobs", and "the medicine is actually a grand jewish conspiracy, eat the horse drugs, if you prevent disease you are helping the Bilderberg cabal subvert society" etc

I survived a very severe illness that almost killed me at 21 and have come to this sort of worldview and viewpoint.

I myself still feel bad about me, and feel like I'm unworthy and have much work left to do. I've gotten better accepting my circumstances, but I still find myself regretting lack of action in the past, or taking so long to better myself. I'm about to turn 27, but I just put off building myself up when I moved out in 2018. Its 2023, and I now feel this fire to make something of myself, make a life worth living, and use the wisdom I've acquired to guide those that come after me. I'm going back to university, and know where I want to take my career, and get my bachelor's in. I want to be there for my brothers (best friends), my partner, and should I have children, guide them along the path, until they themselves are ready to be on their own. And I want to be able to explore this life to the fullest and be able to afford my hobbies and interests as well. So, while I still have work left to do, I've accepted the process, and understand how I will live my life now.
Besides this being solid advice, it's also fantastic character writing. Bethesda or Obsidian should hire you if they ever remake New Vegas or make a sequel.

This was like hearing my own brain talk. I didn't want this to end. This was amazing, your writing is perfection. Thanks for doing what you do.
The part where he says not to blame others hits hard. At a certain point pointing the finger against the world does nothing but only hinder your ability to grow and change. Life’s not fair at all. We are blessed to be able to walk and be healthy but yet we still complain about everything. Even if your life does suck there’s nothing you can do but accept it and see how you can move forward. God speed 🔥
This is my creed. I’ve never heard it put into words but it’s the truths I’ve gathered and realized myself over my nearly 30 year journey. Now that it is verbalized I will listen to this affirmation every single day until I can recite it myself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You earned my sub.
id love to hear him talk about how to deal with grief and loss. lost a lot of people I love recently and videos like these are really helping try to navigate these feelings
I have no idea if this will help you, but for me it helped too let what i was feeling go through me instead of keeping it in, i tried too remember that even though they are gone their memory of who they were before they passed will always be there, and instead of feeling like it was the end i tried too look at it like a new beginning.
YES
“Dream up a good life, and enjoy the process” powerful
I have been, lost as to what i wish to do in life, lost as to what i want from it. And when my soul wanders from my body i go here, and contemplate. The voice of Joshua grahm and the wisdom of what you say through him is the cure to the spiritual cancers of this modern world. Weather i agree with all of it or not you speak plain truth in most of this, considered an opinion or not, you give me the push i need to be centered between mind body and soul, Thank you Sir, you are a godsend.
Really profound stuff, you've managed to articulate a lot of beliefs I share but never had the words to express. Keep up the good work!
I don’t particularly like being melodramatic, but hearing this has truly helped me. I am at a bit of a low point and have a loss of direction, or more specifically who I want to be and what I truly need to change. This has been some of the most well said (or really written) advice that I have heard in a while. So what I am trying to say is, from the bottom of my heart, thank you ❤.
dude i rewatched your videos over and over at work(well really just the fear one, four times now...). these are seriously incredible, plz do more on overall self improvement, people appreciate you and your work
Thank you, your video helped me learn more perspectives about life and help my find myself
I'm happy to hear that Austin. Thanks for your support and feedback.
"It may seem hard, but I know you can do it." damn that's encouraging.
I absolutely agree with everything said in this video. It finally put my feelings into words.
This is insanely deep, well done. This should be heard by every person and not just young/old men.
Joshua Graham isn’t just a video game character, he’s an idea.
God knew i needed to hear this. Had a rough break up last week, and was still angry due to it. Thank you for making this and i thank God for allowing me to hear this.
"How much do we stop all distractions and just be with the moment we are in. These things are the genius of a child, and those who are among the dying." Crazy shit
Firstly I feel annoyance when I read "How to be a man", I really have some problems with every "man", that advice me to be a man, a cruel beast, that wants to kill and don't care of opinoins of others and this advice come to me with not straight, but insults about me being irresponsible man, but truth is, this advice came from mouth of my dad, who left me and my mom.
I truly thank you, the man, who write this monologue.
Thank you so much for this. I really needed to hear that since I got lost so much in life that I had gone sicker with food and I know getting fit is not going to fix it. Because I know there needs to be something stronger for motivation in life to live for.
Not many youtubers do motivational videos like this.
Aogiri, you are a true philosopher. These are so well written, you should be very proud of what you've made.
You wrote this? This was very beautiful, coming from a place of experience, wisdom, truth and love. Thank you for sharing it this way.
As someone who can relate to a lot of these comments of lost and sadness in different parts of his life who is now dying of cancer at 34 , I am at peace because despite my situation it could be worse , I can still see walk and talk , I find comfort in that.
I am rooting for you, brother.
There is great wisdom in these words. I find myself often coming to the same question of what it means to be a man. Though I am still far from the person I wish to be, I will never stop striving to be better than the person I was yesterday. Though I may stumble and fall from time to time, I will always get back up and push onward. If there are any others out there who feel the same, I hope you eventually find who you are and attain peace
I had good parents. Hardcore Atheist father, Hardcore Christian mother. I understand that though this world is cruel, that it is both easy and impossible to overcome that cruelty. There are too many factors but if you are here, now reading this comment, your ancestors fought, survived, thought ahead, planned, endured, overcame. And now you are here. Man how awesome is today?!
I'm literally crying rn, these words are so fucking beautiful
I feel like an idiot writing this from an AI Voice Video but damn, it feels comfortable to hear such things.
Pain turns a boy into a man...
And loss turns a man into a monster.
And men must be monsters...
I literally just asked GOD to help me, then this video popped up. Thank you.
These are amazingly created masterpieces, and thanks for the advice.
Thank you, Joshua Graham
“Everything you do everywhere you go something, someone is trying to take something from you. Time, money, or emotion…”
*Ad immediately pops up*.
Lol youtube has a sense of humor sometimes
I’m not going to lie: this video legitimately saved me. It reminded me of what’s important to me. Thank you for uploading this.
This changed the course of my life, thank you
using Joshua Graham to help people learn value is genuinely awesome, keep up the great work .
