Life is hard, but it's a lot harder when we're fighting with each other instead of fighting for each other. I hope one day I get to experience a world that prioritizes the latter.
I just want to share something with you. Jesus Christ loves everyone. He died for us all and rose. All you have to do is accept Him as your Lord and Savior and He will save you and grant you eternal life in Heaven. Much love for real ❤
The key is to always be in the moment, instead of fighting your mind by constantly worrying about the outcome of situations. Time flys when your having fun to.

I wish more people were like you, Shawn. I wish we were neighbors. I just got a verbal assault from a Karen in my neighborhood because I was walking too fast and she didn’t want to move (she was in front of me on a narrow trail) to the side to let me pass her. She yelled at me. For walking fast. Yelled. I yelled back and gave her a piece of my mind. She doesn’t own the trail. Never had anything like this happen in my life (in my 40s). It’s sad. You’re right, people are crazy. The world will make you feel worthless. Crazy people make us feel that way, or try to. It’s sad but the good news is that we have a choice to live our best life daily and to do good. Karen’s are pathetic and evil. lol. I refuse to become one of them. Too humble for that. Glad I grew up in a blue collar family vs. being an entitled brat. I’ve always been an old soul like you! And I’ve always felt like I am an outlier in this world. Despite these crazies, I will still respect my elders, smile at people, say hi to strangers and do my best to be a decent human being daily. That’s all we can do and that’s how we make the world around us a little better.

I do agree with you young man. No matter what the sun will come up on the next day. Knowing our purpose is something from within and we must dig deep. Unfortunately, many of us don’t want to do the work. I’m grateful that there are people like you that are out here doing the work.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Shawn we do live in challenging times. I do encourage the young generation that you were made for these times. Its your turn, except the challenges. I lived through the unrest of the 60s. Racial tensions and Vietnam protests, sometimes just exploded in your face. People were very ugly. Young man take care of your business. Dont get caught up in political drama. We have to watch which way the winds of change is blowing. But again take care of your own family and your business. Beware of losing yourself trying to save the world.
Good talk man. We need to decide that we're going to do what we want no matter what. Good or bad times keep pushing because even if it feels like the worst time to start we will look back and see that hesitation was only time wasted. Let's go after what we want!
When you are young you still have hope things will change and also the motivation to try harder. But as you get older that lessens until you become basically in survival mode.
Something that would benefit me is reminding myself that I can find my own happiness. To look more for those things that bring me happiness, appreciation, gratitude & great mood that’s the light. Then the dark is the opposite all the negative things that will bring negative thoughts & feelings.
Thanks for the video Shawn I've been having a lot of anxiety today for some reason I haven't had anxiety in forever and ur video helped man . I been feeling like something big is coming and it's been freaking me out but we gotta just live our lives regardless 🤠
My health is worsening by Nov first,a can't remember this 16 days like nightmare..First we had hot summer for first time like in Africa,now we have cold winter after 15 years and no sun,this is nightmare..
Shawn, keep doing what you’re doing! Keep your head up and keep on keepin on ! No matter how hard it gets. You are a brilliant young man, very in tune with the universe and the world around you! I absolutely love your videos. Your perspectives give me hope ❤ I also wish you were my neighbor. I’d love to talk with you. I’d love to tell you all the hell I’ve been through. But I’m still here! Thanks to God ❤ You have a big purpose. Wise far beyond your years.
i think for me it was showing pure belief in the quieter players ( myself ) as i was a sub - and this was playing rugby and my coach would tell me don’t let anyone bully you son bite down on the back of that gum shield (mouthpiece or whatever it’s called in the US) and go in to every game to put in that first tackle
Bruh - it is definately NOT the hardest times ever. The 2008 Recession was brutal. I saw dudes almost get into fist fights at the county dump over metal in the dumspter because so many people were scraping metal trying to eat. This is just life.
THE REAL MEANING ALWAYS COMES FROM THE BIGGER PICTURE:
Let’s be honest. What I truly want is a world that aligns with our collective mental constructs-a reality where everything converges into a Unifying Reason. I yearn for a grand narrative with a triumphant end-fireworks, explosions, eternal redemption-a final escape from all our miseries. I want to enjoy life to the fullest, with absolute validation and instant gratification. I can’t accept that all of existence is merely an accident, destined to fizzle out in a whimpering death. I want today’s suffering to find its justification in tomorrow’s joy. Yet, when this grand narrative doesn’t unfold, we rebel, disillusioned, throwing temper tantrums like spoiled children, as though life has failed us. Unfortunately, science tells me that, in the end, everything dies. This offers no solid ground, no firm narrative for my existence-only an ocean of doubts. It’s not an encouraging thought. As the American astrophysicist and science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson aptly puts it, "Life is under no obligation to make sense to us." Reality, it seems, owes us nothing, and this stark truth can be deeply unsettling. This is our reality check. So, let’s grow up and get real. Since life began accidentally and ends inevitably, it’s hard to find meaning beyond myself. But what we often overlook is that our perspective is limited and primitive. We’re just “talking monkeys”-creatures who view everything linearly, with a beginning and an end, missing the larger significance of things. We’re stuck in the middle of a vast tapestry, oblivious to the reality that, for reasons beyond human comprehension, we cannot perceive or experience the entire weave-only one thread at a time. In reality, everything simply is, and everything exists in its own right. We are but threads in a greater weave, needing a leap of faith to perceive the goodness of the entire pattern. However, through linear, horizontal thinking, we cannot grasp the full picture. By persisting in this limited perspective, we remain in the dark, chasing shadows. It’s not truly the meaning of life we are seeking-just a “meaning” that fits within our finite understanding, one that aligns with our ego and satisfies our individual needs and desires. Ultimately, we want a version of reality where we can fulfill our wildest dreams and achieve our highest goals. Yet reality is singular; it cannot bend to cater to every individual will. Reality has its own agenda, leaving us no choice but to conform as part of it. Life is a mysterious force, and we are merely vessels through which it flows. However, with faith, we can perceive a deeper meaning-one worth embracing and participating in. We simply need faith in the idea that, within the grand scheme of things, all the pieces of the puzzle will eventually fall into place, and all our experiences-both “good” and “bad”-will ultimately make sense. Whether we like it or not, every life decision is an unconscious act of faith in the outcome. However, this isn’t blind or cultish faith. The intricate interdependence, interconnection, and unity of all things are undeniable scientific facts and an integral part of our daily existence. Every second, trillions of cells in your body work tirelessly and ‘faithfully’-and even die-for your survival and well-being, unaware of their role in the whole. Similarly, leaves cannot grasp their relevance to the tree, nor can waves fathom the sea, yet each contributes to the greater system. Billions of individual beings and entities thrive within complex, dynamic, and diverse ecosystems, each playing a part in sustaining the whole. Furthermore, the modern world is becoming increasingly interconnected and interdependent through globalization, amplifying this reality on a global scale. Unknowingly, all of them have a purpose for the whole. Another empirically verified fact is that our perception shifts with perspective. Standing in the middle of a bustling city crowd, amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, our worries can feel overwhelming. Yet, from the vantage point of a plane or outer space, they shrink into insignificance. It’s all about perspective. As the saying goes, “When we change how we look at things, what we look at changes.” However, unless we realize and uncover our mission and place in the bigger picture, life will always feel meaningless because, as the proverb reminds us, “There are no paths for those who don’t know where they’re going.” Just Think About it!
dawg u talking about the world thinking your worthless was me tonight at work. i got my first kid coming soon and i was trippin about that at work. crazy u talking about it rn lol
There are lots of examples just watch the news. Look at the wars all the homeless and drug addiction look at the cost of living all the crap with covid all the corrupt politicians. Look at all the problems with all the migrants in countries. What are you not seeing wake up. Everything is falling apart

You're killing the game young man. A lot of guys are walking around in the woods making videos now. They are biting your style my man. Keep hitting them 👍
It's hard for you not for me. We're living in the best times right now. Considering what's going on around the world, I have no complaints. My life is perfect. But I'm the one that lucky ones who's not crying out on TH-cam or on TikTok account by Milka campaign rent. I can't do this nonsense. I don't have none of those problems. Thank God.
You are wise beyond your years. I think it's safe to say you are an old soul. You're a blessing and a breath of fresh air. 🙏🏾
Life is hard, but it's a lot harder when we're fighting with each other instead of fighting for each other. I hope one day I get to experience a world that prioritizes the latter.
In my 5 plus decades, the past 4 years have been the worst on a national and global scale!!

I keep hearing people say " follow your dreams " or " find your purpose ". As if it were that easy. Most individuals are just existing
i think we all lost souls in this world because we don't belong here. God bless

Past years I have learn to do new things but I am tired now.. really tired. Just watching birds and squirrels on backyard. I need to rest.
Time is not flying it’s moving at the same speed ,we are just always occupied with work and etc

Hu h huh heh heh huh. He said hap-piness 😂
Bruh - it is definately NOT the hardest times ever.
The 2008 Recession was brutal. I saw dudes almost get into fist fights at the county dump over metal in the dumspter because so many people were scraping metal trying to eat. This is just life.
