Thank you for the reminder. One of my biggest "I'll be happy when's..." is I'll be happy when I can express myself creatively through TH-cam. It may be worthwhile noting that I have yet to post a single video. ;)
Very similar to your story. I’m now 74 years old (young), living alone with my two pups and happier than I’ve ever been. I’m happy with myself (finally) and learned to let go of ‘if I only…’. Love your channel and your content. Your stories are inspiring. BTW…I kicked the Diet Coke habit (7-8 cans a day, cold turkey even) after watching one of your videos.
@@newscotlandpiperthank you for sharing vulnerably😊. I pray you get past any insecurities and share yourself with us! Maggie’s wisdom will help for sure. Much love from Florida☀️💖🤗
@@TheTwistedJalapenowow congratulations on creating a new TH-cam channel in your 70s🤩and more importantly, kicking the Diet Coke habit cold turkey 😅got yourself a new subbie💖🫰🏽
I’m 20 years old and I really am thankful for TH-camrs like you that take your time and make videos about advice you would give your younger self. That takes a lot of self awareness and humility; thank you 🙏🏽
I retired at 52 and honestly, I wish I’d done it sooner. The 9-to-5 grind always steals your freedom for a paycheck that barely scratches the surface. My advice? If you’re in your late 30s or early 40s, start saving for FIRE now (Financial Independence, Retire Early.) And if you’re in your 50s, invest smartly and break free from relying on your job. Market trends, like the Trump Effect, have made millions for many, including me. Stay focused, stay consistent, and remember financial freedom is within reach if you make it a priority.
Working with Lorrie Greta Hillard , a financial advisor, was a game changer. She helped me refine my savings strategy, including retirement planning, and provided expert guidance on investments and budgeting to maximize my savings.
Reminds me of what it teaches in the Sedona method for releasing the negative emotions in the way of inner peace, that all desires come from: 1 lacking oneness -believing you are an individual being seperate from the universe, 2 lacking security - believing you are unsafe especially as just a body, 3 lacking control - believing things must be the way you want them to be, 4 lacking approval - believing you are lacking love and need it from others, placing conditions on it
That's so lovely of you to say Heidi 💚 I'm also glad I found you - building a little youtube tribe is the best! And OMG YOUR CHANNEL HAS EXPLODED!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS 🧡🤗
@@Maggieloveslife Thank you - It's so exciting!! Interestingly enough, I was getting ready to do a "what I learned after 100 days on YT" video fashioned after the video you had created when the one video took off! Thank you thank you for connecting with me and welcoming me into your tribe and being part of mine!!
Another great video, reminds me of a poem: The chase, a thirty-year-long race, For fame, for form, a perfect face. Success's gleam, a distant star, I reached and grasped... and found it far. From happiness, a hollow prize, A truth concealed behind the lies. No magic pill, no easy fix, No shallow "gratitude" tricks. Scott&Cindy
Love the line about true freedom and not caring what people think. I used put makeup on every time I left the house. Today I have NO eye makeup because I have an 8 hr flight and will be more comfortable without it. I don’t care about looking my best all the time. self-acceptance FTW!
Your honesty and the way you focus on what truly matters is why your channel has become one of my favorites. What stands out is how meaningful and impactful your message is beyond any numbers or stats. Thank you for sharing such positivity and wisdom.
Thank you so much. I keep thinking I will make videos with me in them once I look good enough. Then I asked myself why do I want to look good enough? the answer, so that people will like me. Then I thought , why do I want people to like me? answer: So I will feel good about myself. Because of your video, I realized I can already feel good about myself right now.
I remember the same feelings when I was doing so well in school drama plays. Outside of that environment I was shy and afraid! It is great hearing you describe what I know as: The Three Levels of Happiness. I also know that fear after a successful series of videos...coz it still happens. TH-cam can be self destructive if you let it. That's why what you say is so very important to us all :)
Hi Xavier 👋 Thanks for watching and for your lovely comment. I've not heard of the three levels of Happiness - I will definitely look it up! I love how you say "TH-cam can be self destructive if you let it," because it's a great reminder that it's a CHOICE - (note to self 😉) our attitude. Thanks for being here and I hope you're really well 🤗
Omg @Xavierbonsayretreat had to subscribe to your lovely channel that immediately put a smile on my face after watching 1 short😃. My daughter was just gifted her 1st bonsai tree kit. Have a lovely day and greetings from my sunny state of Florida☀️🫶🏽
@@MillionDollarMilly888 So happy - we need more younger bonsai enthusiasts in the world. Feel free to send an email asking for advice if you need it - I would love to see a picture of the tree too :)
Thanks for the video Maggie, you reminded me what I already knew, but forget from time to time. I almost swiped away a couple of times, but stayed because I know I needed to hear it. I think sometimes I don't like to hear that I have all the power when it comes to how I feel, it's uncomfortable. It is also true. The flip side is that it is empowering and challenging, reframing ideas can be challenging just like the Hero's journey but a trial along the way. If you fail to pass the trial, then you get stuck in a small world of your own and never feel happy or accepted. The sad thing is that you have the power to change that at any time but just can't see it. It also perhaps isn't something that you hear and then say "yeah I get that" and implement it, would that it was so easy(and I know it is) but people tend to look for the answers outside of themselves. "I am going to go to India to find myself", I will save you the trouble and expense mate, you are standing right there. Enough of this rambling, I did enjoy the video, I did like and subscribe and I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Sometimes striving for things is exciting, then when you achieve it you lose interest in the subject. The human mind needs something to strive for, something to look forward to. Happiness or fulfillment is something to compare your own achievement to, I can say that from time to time it feels good when you get certain skills and competences that you have been striving for, it gives you the feeling that you are now ready to act on certain things.
Yes yes yes I completely agree. We need to grow - however that looks. So true about the excitement. That's how I feel about this channel.Thanks for being here and for sharing your thoughts. Greatly appreciated ☺
This is so true. I think we realise this truth more as we get older - as we reach each of our goals and realise that we're still seeking that thing that is supposed to make us happy.
THANK YOU for this message. I am in mid 50's, beginning my own youtube journey and came across you a few weeks ago. I have enjoyed all your content but this message RESONATES with the age I am, loving my parents to their final days and realizing I have more sunsets behind me than in front of me, BUT will never BE OLD! it is a choice.
I had that exact same thought and fear: “What if I’m a one-hit wonder?” It’s a fear that can definitely keep us from doing what we’re here in this life to do. It’s actually such a limiting label!! Way to go moving beyond it!! 🥰
Thanks Heidi! I actually had that fear after an earlier video did well and thought I'd moved through it - I suppose it just comes around again to see if we re really sure we moved through it haha
This is fantastic Maggie, I had a chair spinning hands in the air amen sister moment!! lol It does this old girl's heart good to hear younger women getting it! They are worthy, they matter! Bravo girlie!❤ Great question, I'll be happy when. In my 60's I have passed that stage, I'm at the wonderful, do as I please without seeking approval from others stage and it's truly amazing. I'm sure your video will inspire young women to get to that stage sooner than later. I wish you the wonderful day that you deserve!
I'll be happy when...... I'm living back in a sunny country, either Spain or Australia (Adelaide, my hometown). I'm recovering from a burn out last year and have learnt SO much!! At 47 I'm really blossoming into ME and not allowing others to influence my BEING as I used too. I focus on my dreams, my goals and my passions. I was a sandbag from fear for too long and I've hopped back in my very own beautiful hot air balloon and started to dream, inspire and allow myself to shine again! I'm still contemplating the feeling of belonging and environment/systems I'm part of, staying on the boundary of a system to maintain my autonomy. I belong within myself and where I am today. When I do move back to a sunny country there WILL be other challenges to manage and that is for then.... I want to live TODAY with all the abundance, privilege and love I have around me. Thank you for sharing your beautiful bright light to allow others to do the same! Warmest of hugs and so much love!
I know this isn't the point, but here is a financial tip regarding the mortgage: If you were to pay an additional 10 percent each month, or one extra payment per year, your mortgage could be paid in 15 years instead of 30. This is something banks don't say much about them because they profit much more if you choose the longer term.
Thanks. I thought about it one day. The banks are in the property ownership business because they own your house until you have paid it off 5 x's more than it is worth over 20 or more years. And if we loose oyr jobs or something unforeseen happens and one falls behind bond repayments, etc, the bank will take the house back. 'We' loose everything, the bank always wins. They are rigged like casinos are. Casinos are designed to make you feel good while you are giving them all your money. Nobody truly wins when gambling. The losses far outway the small wins. Banks dont need to charge such huge interest rates. It is the rip off interest packed onto the money you are loaning. The banks are loan sharks hiding in fancy buildings called banks. FIAT currency is debt. It is not wealth. We are in debt and even after paying off a house over 20 years if you are lucky to make it that far, you, we, will have to still pay rates and taxes, etc. So you are never really free. The whole system keeps us locked in. It is rigged. That is why people work in a job they hate to pay for high rents or houses, cars, etc. A house is a liability, not an asset. Anything requiring you to put money in is a liability. It becomes an asset when it is paying you. Why are most people depressed today more than ever? One reason is because the system and I mean everything, is rigged against us. It is not for us. So I don't agree that we can just be happy. We need to wake up and realise the truth. The truth is the 1% elite control and own everything behind the stage curtain. We as humanity should have the right to a home, food, water, etc, just by being here, alive. If all those trillions were shared, every single human would be a billionaire and there would be more than enough left over. It is the storey of the fishes and the loaves. We are dumbed down. Our parents, grandparents, etc, were dumbed down. We are programmed. Owned by a birth certificate. We are an entity for the rich to rob us of our natural rights to be free. Equal. So, yes, we can try to just be happy and accept that this world is fake as the paper debt money is printed on. The system is rigged so that we work as dumbed down slaves for the elite behind the stage curtains. No matter how hard we work, we just never seem to earn enough. It is the carrot and the stick. We watch programmes on TV, etc. That is what they are. Programmes. We are zombies zonked out in front of the TV being programmed by fake news. False advertising. Being herded into a way of thinking. Hating one group against another. Fashion. Fame. Etc. This is all part of controlling us subconsciously to behave a certain way like an automaton. People are frustrated. In debt. Doing horrible jobs to survive by the skin of their teeth, not thrive. People are divided into classes. I am certain a homeless person would also like to have a home. To be able to feel safe. To have a nice hot bath or shower. Have clean clothes and a nice meal. I feel certain all the starving people in the world would give anything for a decent meal. That their part of the world could have food growing projects instead of corrupt politicians taking everything for themselves. We live in a skewed world. It is fake. And when a pwrson is struggling alone financially it causes distress, illness, and depression. I feel certain most people want to be happy and free. With a global rigged system it is very difficult and that is the actual truth. I don't buy the rose coloured tinted glasses self help chats about 'be happy'. Life is very tough and it is designed that way. All the wealth is held by a few. I can love myself, but it won't change how under severe stress I am. The system wants what I have. That is called TAX extortion. My partner just passed away. I am grieving. But the system doesn't care. All they care about is taking a big chunk of money they did not earn. My partner paid his taxes all his life. We pay taxes with every purchase we make. And when we die or someone dies, that tax man is waiting like the grim reaper. The people who set up the system and control it are like the mafia. Like a casino run by the 'boss' who makes sure you leave all your hard earned cash in his vaults. It is rigged. All of it. We can find moments of joy in between trying to survive, sure. But the truth is, look around. Who is happy? It is fake to sell a concept like permanent happiness. It is like social media where people portray a fake self. An 'influencer'. I want to be free. I don't want to be worried about bills, etc, etc. And are the elite free? They have to keep the whole rigged system going around. Hoping nobody looks back stage. Peace, freedom, happyiness, joy, laughter, are fleeting moments. We all toil one way or another. I love the idea of utopia. If only..
I’m thankful and happy with my life but at the same time I’m working for my next level. ❤ My why is to gain freedom in my life and to have something that is my own. Thank you for this! 😊
This things you share in this video are so insightful, wise and positive, thank you for sharing your knowledge and perspective which will help a lot of people. Liked and subscribed!
Very inspiring talk, Maggie! ✨🪷 It should be played to kids at school and to everyone actually because it's such an important insight and point of view on life in general. Thank you from Italy! Take care 🌺
Thank you so much 🙏 I really appreciate your lovely comment 💛Thanks for taking the time to watch! I've only been to Italy once in 2007 - it is seriously one of the most beautiful countries, I cannot wait to return one day. Have a lovely day 🌻
Thank you Maggie! I'm 26 years old and I am also wanting to grow my TH-cam channel. Your video showed up at the perfect time ❤. I was watching other TH-camrs and felt my insecurities creep in but when you talked about validation that shook me out of the deep dark hole of feeling bad about myself and I was able to remind myself of the reason why I am posting videos on TH-cam and that I am on my own journey of learning to be there for me and do things that fulfill me! 🎉 Grateful I came across your channel! Looking forward to more
I've been enjoying your content for a bit now, but have never commented. I really needed to hear this today. Thank you, so much! Much love and gratitude from Colorado, USA. xo
All the not caring what others think, being able to just take life as it comes - that takes conditioning, deprogramming. You're absolutely right about what matters, but it is far from as easy as you paint it.
Well, fantastic video Maggie.Thank you for your authenticity and your honesty. I love the part about working with older people and recognizing the wisdom In what they say and how they see themselves. You have inspired me to consider something that I hadn't before, which is to start a youtube channel and share whatever it is I have that might be a value to others. You're honest discussion about desire for fame to make you feel whole is right on the money and exactly how I saw myself when a teenager/20something because of Success and accolades in a theater production. Please keep up the genuine vulnerability It makes me want to see what you have to say next.
This is exactly what I needed to hear. I relate so much to every single aspect of the journey you mentioned. I think it would be such a powerful daily practice to think about what is currently holding me back from happiness? Sensational sage advice. 💜
This was so good Maggie🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽thank you for sharing your wisdom and doing it so genuinely authentically and vulnerably! This reminded me that I still need to let go of a couple more “i’ll be happy when…”. 🤗💕😍
Su true and very authentic. One suggestion: the background music is a bit distracting and neither helping nor necessary. Much nicer when it’s just you talking.
I like this video, you speak words of wisdom and I appreciate them. I think you are very good at conveying your message and I want to encourage you to continue. I also am a TH-camr so I know exactly how it feels to pour your heart into a video and see very little results for your efforts. You should be very proud of yourself. I think you are very attractive and you look great on camera. You sound good as well. I can hear your life experience come through when you're delivering your message, I think that's something we definitely have over the the youngsters out there, we've lived and we've learned, now we can share it with those that care to listen. Keep it up, I'l be following you. Also I need to step it up myself. As you know we all go through periods of reflection where we might stray from what we should be doing only to wake up and say, "enough is enough, you know what you are doing wrong and you know what you should be doing , now go do it". I just had one of these , again so back to the grindstone. Again I like you're message so I hope you don't mind if I take inspiration from you and your work.
Everything up until this point was preparing you for what you are doing now Maggie, keep posting, growing, and serving❤People don't see the 30+ years that lead up to the "overnight" success. I wish for two things: 1) That people know how beautiful they are, each and every one of them. 2) That people know that other people don't care about how you look and what you do, for more than a second and that is if you shove it in their face. The rest of the time they are too focused on thinking about what others are thinking about them. So do you, nobody will care in the long run... Just pick a random name of an old friend who did something you thought was stupid and think about when was the last time you thought of them, and do you even care what that did today?? (I hope this comment helps you against the algorithm)🙏
This really speaks to me! I love your content and I needed to hear this. I’m planning on making a video about „embracing change“ and I think it goes hand in hand with what you say about enjoying the journey ❤️ thank you for your words
Hi Laura 👋 Thank you so much for being here and for your lovely comment. 🌻 I think a video on embracing change is so important as everything changes all the time. The more comfortable we are with that the smoother life is. I'd love to watch it when you upload!! Take care and have a wonderful day 💜
Ahh, if only living life were this easy... Sometimes, more often than not actually, we *need* to have the 30 years of our own experience to truly get the wisdom that can be summarised by someone else in 10 minutes...
What's your biggest 'I'll be happy when...' that you're ready to let go of? 💛
Thank you for the reminder. One of my biggest "I'll be happy when's..." is I'll be happy when I can express myself creatively through TH-cam. It may be worthwhile noting that I have yet to post a single video. ;)

I’m 20 years old and I really am thankful for TH-camrs like you that take your time and make videos about advice you would give your younger self. That takes a lot of self awareness and humility; thank you 🙏🏽
"You want to know what true freedom feels like? It's when something that used to scare you doesn't scare you anymore."
So true isn't it. I love knowing I've overcome a fear. Thanks so much for watching 🙌💛 🙏
I retired at 52 and honestly, I wish I’d done it sooner. The 9-to-5 grind always steals your freedom for a paycheck that barely scratches the surface. My advice? If you’re in your late 30s or early 40s, start saving for FIRE now (Financial Independence, Retire Early.) And if you’re in your 50s, invest smartly and break free from relying on your job. Market trends, like the Trump Effect, have made millions for many, including me. Stay focused, stay consistent, and remember financial freedom is within reach if you make it a priority.
Exactly My point! The 9 to 5 grind is just not worth it the stress and low payoff. What specific steps did you take to break free?
Working with Lorrie Greta Hillard , a financial advisor, was a game changer. She helped me refine my savings strategy, including retirement planning, and provided expert guidance on investments and budgeting to maximize my savings.
Got it! Thanks for the tip! I was curious, so I looked up Lorrie
I have 5 more years and I can’t wait!
use your time wisely instead of spending it on unproductive, meaningless, or draining activities. It’s a reminder to focus on what truly matters ❤
Thank you! As a 34 year old woman struggling to find my purpose in life your words were really helpful.

And if we loose oyr jobs or something unforeseen happens and one falls behind bond repayments, etc, the bank will take the house back. 'We' loose everything, the bank always wins. They are rigged like casinos are.
Casinos are designed to make you feel good while you are giving them all your money.
Nobody truly wins when gambling. The losses far outway the small wins.
Banks dont need to charge such huge interest rates. It is the rip off interest packed onto the money you are loaning. The banks are loan sharks hiding in fancy buildings called banks.
FIAT currency is debt. It is not wealth. We are in debt and even after paying off a house over 20 years if you are lucky to make it that far, you, we, will have to still pay rates and taxes, etc. So you are never really free. The whole system keeps us locked in. It is rigged.
That is why people work in a job they hate to pay for high rents or houses, cars, etc.
A house is a liability, not an asset. Anything requiring you to put money in is a liability. It becomes an asset when it is paying you.
Why are most people depressed today more than ever?
One reason is because the system and I mean everything, is rigged against us. It is not for us.
So I don't agree that we can just be happy. We need to wake up and realise the truth. The truth is the 1% elite control and own everything behind the stage curtain.
We as humanity should have the right to a home, food, water, etc, just by being here, alive.
If all those trillions were shared, every single human would be a billionaire and there would be more than enough left over.
It is the storey of the fishes and the loaves.
We are dumbed down. Our parents, grandparents, etc, were dumbed down.
We are programmed.
Owned by a birth certificate. We are an entity for the rich to rob us of our natural rights to be free. Equal.
So, yes, we can try to just be happy and accept that this world is fake as the paper debt money is printed on.
The system is rigged so that we work as dumbed down slaves for the elite behind the stage curtains.
No matter how hard we work, we just never seem to earn enough. It is the carrot and the stick.
We watch programmes on TV, etc. That is what they are. Programmes. We are zombies zonked out in front of the TV being programmed by fake news. False advertising. Being herded into a way of thinking. Hating one group against another.
Fashion. Fame. Etc.
This is all part of controlling us subconsciously to behave a certain way like an automaton.
People are frustrated. In debt. Doing horrible jobs to survive by the skin of their teeth, not thrive.
People are divided into classes.
I am certain a homeless person would also like to have a home. To be able to feel safe. To have a nice hot bath or shower. Have clean clothes and a nice meal.
I feel certain all the starving people in the world would give anything for a decent meal. That their part of the world could have food growing projects instead of corrupt politicians taking everything for themselves.
We live in a skewed world. It is fake. And when a pwrson is struggling alone financially it causes distress, illness, and depression.
I feel certain most people want to be happy and free.
With a global rigged system it is very difficult and that is the actual truth.
I don't buy the rose coloured tinted glasses self help chats about 'be happy'.
Life is very tough and it is designed that way. All the wealth is held by a few.
I can love myself, but it won't change how under severe stress I am. The system wants what I have. That is called TAX extortion.
My partner just passed away. I am grieving. But the system doesn't care. All they care about is taking a big chunk of money they did not earn. My partner paid his taxes all his life. We pay taxes with every purchase we make.
And when we die or someone dies, that tax man is waiting like the grim reaper.
The people who set up the system and control it are like the mafia.
Like a casino run by the 'boss' who makes sure you leave all your hard earned cash in his vaults. It is rigged. All of it.
We can find moments of joy in between trying to survive, sure.
But the truth is, look around. Who is happy?
It is fake to sell a concept like permanent happiness.
It is like social media where people portray a fake self. An 'influencer'.
I want to be free. I don't want to be worried about bills, etc, etc.
And are the elite free? They have to keep the whole rigged system going around. Hoping nobody looks back stage.
Peace, freedom, happyiness, joy, laughter, are fleeting moments.
We all toil one way or another.
I love the idea of utopia. If only..
I’m thankful and happy with my life but at the same time I’m working for my next level. ❤ My why is to gain freedom in my life and to have something that is my own. Thank you for this! 😊

This is an amazing video. Thank you for the inspiration.
Very inspiring talk, Maggie! ✨🪷 It should be played to kids at school and to everyone actually because it's such an important insight and point of view on life in general. Thank you from Italy! Take care 🌺
Thank you so much 🙏 I really appreciate your lovely comment 💛Thanks for taking the time to watch! I've only been to Italy once in 2007 - it is seriously one of the most beautiful countries, I cannot wait to return one day. Have a lovely day 🌻
Goodmorning...you are wonderful🎉❤
Thank you Maggie! I'm 26 years old and I am also wanting to grow my TH-cam channel. Your video showed up at the perfect time ❤. I was watching other TH-camrs and felt my insecurities creep in but when you talked about validation that shook me out of the deep dark hole of feeling bad about myself and I was able to remind myself of the reason why I am posting videos on TH-cam and that I am on my own journey of learning to be there for me and do things that fulfill me! 🎉 Grateful I came across your channel! Looking forward to more
Hi Jojo 👋 I'm so glad it helped! Yes keep your "why" front and centre and it will get you though the moments of doubt. Thanks for being here 💛 🙏
This amazing Maggie ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this video. I have also come to this very realization.
Beautifully expressed.
Very well said, Maggie! This is what I needed to hear this morning 😊
I've been enjoying your content for a bit now, but have never commented. I really needed to hear this today. Thank you, so much! Much love and gratitude from Colorado, USA. xo
The journey IS the destination
Yessssss!!!!! 🙌💛
Very inspiring ...very beautiful . Such e powerful content.
Love this 🥳
This is so beautiful and beautifully presented 💗Thank you 💗 Love your editing style, too! I'm a new youtuber, what do you use for editing?
Thank you Victoria 🤗 I really appreciate it 🧡 I now use capcut pro but I started my channel on imovie 🎉
"The process of growing itself is what brings fulfillment.'
Thank you, Maggie. You inspire me to pursue my goal of creating TH-cam channel 😊
That's so wonderful, I'm so glad! Go for it - you won't regret it! 🙌💛
wow, juz wow! new subscriber
Thank you for this video! You have such a kind and loving voice!
All the not caring what others think, being able to just take life as it comes - that takes conditioning, deprogramming. You're absolutely right about what matters, but it is far from as easy as you paint it.
I completely agree - but it is totally worth the effort - bit by bit. 💛
👏👏👏👏👏👏 such a great video thank you!
Always inspired by your videos Maggie; thanks for sharing!
I like your videos. Thank you. You have made me feel different about my day. My life. I’m feeling excited, and grateful.
Well, fantastic video Maggie.Thank you for your authenticity and your honesty. I love the part about working with older people and recognizing the wisdom In what they say and how they see themselves. You have inspired me to consider something that I hadn't before, which is to start a youtube channel and share whatever it is I have that might be a value to others. You're honest discussion about desire for fame to make you feel whole is right on the money and exactly how I saw myself when a teenager/20something because of Success and accolades in a theater production. Please keep up the genuine vulnerability It makes me want to see what you have to say next.
What an exceptional video… “the journey is a destination”… I loved examples and stories of your clients ❤️
Hi Anna 👋 Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Have a great day 💛
Thank you so much for the inspirational video!
Great video! Thank you for sharing such wisdom!
Great video - thank you!! 💖
This is exactly what I needed to hear. I relate so much to every single aspect of the journey you mentioned. I think it would be such a powerful daily practice to think about what is currently holding me back from happiness? Sensational sage advice. 💜
Thank you Maggie wow ❤❤❤❤
Appreciate your transparency 💚
Great video, thank you.
Love your videos! This one was a beautiful reminder, definitely unlocked something. Thank you ❤
That makes me so happy - so glad for you! Thanks for being here 💛
Thankyou, this was inspiring ❤
This was so good Maggie🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽thank you for sharing your wisdom and doing it so genuinely authentically and vulnerably! This reminded me that I still need to let go of a couple more “i’ll be happy when…”. 🤗💕😍
Good video, Maggie.
Su true and very authentic. One suggestion: the background music is a bit distracting and neither helping nor necessary. Much nicer when it’s just you talking.
awh i love this
Great message!
This was such a great video! Thank you for sharing. I am so glad it popped up. New subscriber now! From Tracy & Tony 😊🇦🇺
I like this video, you speak words of wisdom and I appreciate them. I think you are very good at conveying your message and I want to encourage you to continue. I also am a TH-camr so I know exactly how it feels to pour your heart into a video and see very little results for your efforts. You should be very proud of yourself. I think you are very attractive and you look great on camera. You sound good as well. I can hear your life experience come through when you're delivering your message, I think that's something we definitely have over the the youngsters out there, we've lived and we've learned, now we can share it with those that care to listen. Keep it up, I'l be following you. Also I need to step it up myself. As you know we all go through periods of reflection where we might stray from what we should be doing only to wake up and say, "enough is enough, you know what you are doing wrong and you know what you should be doing , now go do it". I just had one of these , again so back to the grindstone. Again I like you're message so I hope you don't mind if I take inspiration from you and your work.
48! I wouldn't have put you a day over 30! 😁😉 Just teasing Maggie. Great video, it echoes many of my own thoughts. All the best, Brian.
Everything up until this point was preparing you for what you are doing now Maggie, keep posting, growing, and serving❤People don't see the 30+ years that lead up to the "overnight" success. I wish for two things:
1) That people know how beautiful they are, each and every one of them.
2) That people know that other people don't care about how you look and what you do, for more than a second and that is if you shove it in their face. The rest of the time they are too focused on thinking about what others are thinking about them. So do you, nobody will care in the long run... Just pick a random name of an old friend who did something you thought was stupid and think about when was the last time you thought of them, and do you even care what that did today??
(I hope this comment helps you against the algorithm)🙏
This really speaks to me! I love your content and I needed to hear this. I’m planning on making a video about „embracing change“ and I think it goes hand in hand with what you say about enjoying the journey ❤️ thank you for your words
Hi Laura 👋 Thank you so much for being here and for your lovely comment. 🌻 I think a video on embracing change is so important as everything changes all the time. The more comfortable we are with that the smoother life is. I'd love to watch it when you upload!! Take care and have a wonderful day 💜
@ thank you so much 🥰 I totally agree! I love when creators support each other 💗 have the best day
Damn I've never chased this stuff
Ahh, if only living life were this easy... Sometimes, more often than not actually, we *need* to have the 30 years of our own experience to truly get the wisdom that can be summarised by someone else in 10 minutes...
Hello Maggie, beautifully said. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
❤

Brilliant video thank you 😊
