Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that my new book, Things That Matter, is finally here. I put my heart into it, and I can’t wait to share it with you. You can pick up a copy at www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/676394/things-that-matter-by-joshua-becker/
I hope you will stop and say hello to that young man. Let him know how inspiring you find him and that his dedication ended up as the example in your podcast. 🥰
Truer words were never spoken! I, for myself, took action. Nearly 10 years ago. From 125kg Down to 87kg (+/- 2kg). Took me 5 years... Sports, no sweets at all, cooking for myself (Single household) instead of ordering a pizza or something else...yeah, it was hard. But after those 5 years I reached my goal 😊 but my journey isn't over yet. Still working on myself. Healthy food, sports 🙌🏾 it's now part of my life. And yes, sweets as well 🥳 again
I wanted to be a mom and despite the high cost I was able to adopt my daughter. I wanted it more than anything and made it happen. I need to do the same with getting to a healthy weight. I constantly say I want to but my actions don't show that. Thanks for this reminder!
*Ships don't sink because water is around them, but because water gets inside them. Don't let what's happening around you influence or weigh you down.* I hope this comment made your day 1% better. 🙏
I dropped a client yesterday - I absolutely hated the work but continued to accept it because they paid well. I'd sit there in the middle of every project feeling utter despair and wondering 'how did I get here again?' My partner (who is almost as wise as you) said the situation will never change until you say 'no more'. I guess it's kind of what you're saying but the other way around. Now I just have to work out what I really do want and take those steps to get there.
Next. Follow this up with How To Get Clear or Clarity of what you desire. This has been the step that has tripped me up most. How can I set a goal if I'm too vague or unclear on what it is that I would like to accomplish. Good video. Thanks for posting.
N2backsplash I have been struggling with the same thing! Thank you for putting this into words. You are not alone. And all this time, I felt like I was the only one. 🤷♀️
@@gypsybelle4757 Hey i'm glad I'm not the only one either. Thank you so much. I have always envied people who had their vision at an early age and knew what they were going to do. Just never happened for me. Stay safe and take care.
Keep trying some different things that sound good if you haven't found anything you really want to pursue. If you're not sure if you want to pursue something: do you keep coming back to it, even when others discourage you or try to direct you to something else? If so (as long as it's healthy for you) you may want to explore that more as it's probably a true intrinsic desire. It may not be something you turn into a career but it could be a fulfilling hobby. Hope that helps!
@@hollyl5702 Thanks Holly. I do have two hobbies I like and I am newly retired. But as I look back I could never quite get a grip on a career that was fulfilling. I think a lot of us get snagged at that point. Of course back in my day I had a lot of outside forces telling me what I was not to do( family, peers, false friends etc ). I think for people who struggle with this and for me it's best if i set a small goal and then once achieved try to. follow the pattern on a larger one. I like your suggestion. To try different things and see what I keep coming back to. Thank You so much.
My 2 most important goals were to train for and finish the Honolulu marathon (age 40) and earn my doctorate (age 60). So I have enough success to fuel my efforts to declutter my home. On my way🤗👍🥳
You know what people ask me when they found out I wrote and published a novel… How did you find the time? And the people who know me gape bc they ask: how when you worked a 9-5 job as a lawyer, volunteered at church, play music shows, now raising your teenage nephew etc etc I explain we each have the same number of hours in the day/week. But when I wasn’t doing those important things, I wrote. I didn’t watch Netflix or get bogged down with distractions (well sometimes, we do ha). I wrote almost every day even if it was a little. I came home exhausted from work and sat down at my desk or curled up in bed between dinner and chatting with my now husband and wrote. I wrote when I didn’t want to. I forced myself to write when I wasn’t “inspired.” Now I am editing the sequel - going to publish the 2nd book of the Crescent Crown Saga on Halloween! Thank you always for your inspiration and motivation. I can now confidently call myself my dream profession: an author. Even if I’m not making much now, I planted the seeds for success through my action. :)
It's all about working hard and being motivated to reach our goals....I am happy to say , we are just about done with our clutter free home .Been working hard for 2 years on our new minimal journey. I' m almost there and it feels so good .I just gave everything to charity. I can't beleive that we had thirty bags of clothing, shoes, boots, dresses, jeans and ect to give away. What a great feeling .I can now go in our bedroom and not trip over clutter.
It's like when people say "I don't have time for..." Everyone has the same amount of time; you just have higher priorities than that thing you're making excuses about. Most likely, it's ok that whatever-it-is is not a priority for you.
One of my favorite ladies Life messages....Decluttering all the competitiveness. Thanks. Amen. WHAT I WANT MOST is to decluter the narcissistic and negative effects on My Life. Thanks. Amen
Hi Joshua, spot on as always! I love your videos. You really know how to make me think and change something small in my life every time I watch one of yours. Thanks!
Oh wow.. I just want you to know Joshua that your content is NOT atleast to my understanding a repetitive subject. It's always a new and very helpful reminder to my life. Thank you Joshua 💜💚🧡
This was ideal for me on this day i gave started to have this approach on some habits. Stayinh awake unnecessarily wasting time is the worst habit i have even when i know my todller will wake up early or finish get nap i don't utilize the time efficiently. I realised i have the skills the restraint for the change in portion sizes and reading more and preparing the work shelf with more activities for the baby and clearing out one cabinet or shelf or corner if the room at a time but i don't have that restraint on eating time on random videos or deciding to closer the phone when i no longer need it after 10pm. Staying awake when i know i can't be productive at that time
Thank you Joshua, what great words of wisdom and kick you in the butt to get motivated LOL thanks for sharing Hope your friend is doing well keeping Bob in my prayers
Hi Joshua - Boy did you summarize it. Thanks for making me think about what I want to Achieve and making it happen. Thanks for sharing and continued success. Love PegEgg
Thank you, you have reminded me of all the steps I have taken to get the things I really wanted in life. Also what I must do now to get what I want in my future.
So motivating, thank you for this video!! I really needed to hear this out loud. I get really stuck on the making goals but fail to take make consistent steps towards those goals.
I have the same sentiment as Diana B ~ you might make a lifelong impact on that young man by stopping and telling him, as well as his 'coach', of your observances and how much it has impacted you. He likely has no idea that he is inspiring to others in his weekend workouts. Do it soon, before he may not be there any more, or moves on to college or wherever life takes him next. Also be sure to tell him you've spoken of him and his inspiration to you in your TH-cam channel. He may just want to go take a look at it, and that also might have a great impact on him for his future life. =D
I think it's about changing your identity and your systems. *"You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." - James Clear*
Yes, I say "I want to ..." see only Good in everyone-- not to judge," and there it is, my critical eye! I say I want to "understand God, feel His Presence with me always," but I don't put the necessary time and commitment into "my goal" ... hmmmmm, thank you for your post ... saying I want change is Not Good Enough ... time to turn the corner or just STOP saying I want to ... !!!
Haha. I have never in my life said that I want to be a professional athlete. I don’t even like to exercise. I do, but I don’t like to. I just had to chuckle when you said that. I am 66 years old and I want to grow old healthily. So I work out with a trainer and I watch my die, trying to eat organic, Whole Foods as often as possible.
I want to look like you when I grow older. You are 46 and no one can tell that at a first glance. Do tell us about your diet and way of life in general. You are doing something right obviously.
@@JoshuaBecker Oh wonderful Joshua! Thank you, what a wonderful project! 💙💚💛🧡❤🙏 It really looks like your minimalism house logo in front of a full moon.🏠🌝
Stanley yelnats!! Sorry i just remembered the poem from holes. One of my favourite childhood poems. If only if only the woodpecker sighed The bark on the trees was as dof as the skies Whilst the wolf waits below hungry and lonely Howling to the moon if only if only And i promice this is by memory the only book i re read 3 times its such a teenager's book lol In sha Allah i will remember more verses of the qur'an with as much joy hahahha
Sir ,am from India, here all are addicted to show off,even if one wears a dress twice on any occasions, others seem to ridicule as they show off new apparels,how to tackle this 🤔 please kindly send link for any video of you have made 🌷
How to tackle your problem: Don't worry about others opinions of what you want to do or wear; their opinions shouldn't matter because they don't pay your bills or buy your clothes,etc. live and do for you! I hope this helps.

"Don't wish for it. Work for it."
"If wishes were horses, beggers would ride."
Consistency = key. This applies to cleaning, decluttering, working out etc.
"A goal without a plan is just wishful thinking." Another great video! Thank you!

Thank Joshua, I got another job to pay off my last credit card faster. Wish and action behind it!
“A goal without a plan is just wishful thinking.” Yes, thank you for this reminder! ~ Maria
Love your crystal clear messages Mr Becker. I learn as much by your minimalist way of presenting as I do by your presentation. Thank you.
So true! You put things in an easy and logical format. This totally makes sense.....you are a great motivator....thank you!
*Ships don't sink because water is around them, but because water gets inside them. Don't let what's happening around you influence or weigh you down.*

Thank you Ahmet. I needed to hear that today with everything crazy going on in our world today. I have been letting the water get inside.

Great Points in other words: Failing to plan is planning to fail. Actions speak louder than words.

Thirty bags since 2020 .And we moved in 2017 and we had tons of stuff we had for years and gave it to a single parent.
Congratulations! 👏👌👍💪🙏❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Each time someone tells me: « I don’t/didn’t have time to… » I respond: « No, you mean you choose to prioritize something else ».
Joshua, this was an excellent video. I’m going to re-watch it tomorrow for more motivation.

Bravo, Joshua! This is one of the best messages anyone can here in their whole life. Thank you!

I wrote down everything you said in this video. It was very enjoyable to listen to, write, go over and re-read. Thank you!
Thanks,

Never a dull speech♥️ You continue to inspire even with the smallest of details!!
I think this video is exactly what I needed today!

Absolutely love this...thanks for the reminder!
Thank you, you have reminded me of all the steps I have taken to get the things I really wanted in life. Also what I must do now to get what I want in my future.
Boy, I needed to hear this! I need to do more towards decluttering my Apt. I'm making changes to lose weight.
Wow . . . so simple but thanks for bringing it to the forefront of my thoughts!
Love that last line!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS JOSHUA!!!!!!!
actions speak louder than words :)
Came close to Not going to the gym this morning..and then I watched this video ...very wise words as always ...
Wow tell it how it is Joshua, wise words indeed. Thank you.

Great video. Now, go meet that guy in the park so when he's famous you can say you "knew him when".
Imagine how motivating it would be for that young man to have someone stop by and say how inspiring he is. AND that he used his example in a podcast.
Thanks Josh.
Action speaks louder than words
Good video. Very true.
Perfect!
Words can never replace actions.
Awesome video!! Walk the talk!!!
THANK YOU!! VERY GOOD - AND EYE OPENING!!
Great video as usual. Thank you.
Spot on!!!👍🏼
Such simple, important truth here!
Excellent advice! Many thanks!
Great topic!
So inspiring. I'm grateful for your clear perspective You offer.
