- Harsh truth brother, let’s talk!
From June 7th to June 16th I will be traveling
with family. Spending time with loved ones,
unplugging, and connecting with God more.
This means I won't be able to respond to comments,
which is my favorite thing to do. I just want you all
to know that I love and appreciate you, and that each day
I'm away I will have a new video up for you because I would
never leave you all hanging. Talk to you guys soon!
Still comment, I'll get back to you soon.
To my purpose driven brothers, this channel is for you. My name is Malique, I was born in Miami, and I'm 22 years old. None of that matters though, what matters is that we become 1% better each day and that we stay on our purpose. As I look around in the world many men drift like Napoleon Hill suggests, they drift away from their goals, dreams, and God given purpose. This channel is to help us men become non drifters, in other words help us become purposeful, disciplined, and truly masculine men. Expect multiple uploads a week to help you self improve.
Connect with me on social media for one on one help @maliquedlewis on instagram/tiktok/X
OR
email me forpurposedrivenmen@gmail.com for one on one consultations
I'm rooting for you brother, let's be great.
All it takes is one step brother. You don’t have to have all the answers, you don’t have to figure everything out, you just have to take one step at a time. I believe in you. Thank you for watching 🙏🏽

Can I ask what’s a good outline for my to-do list? I’m looking for a job and am broke so that’s all I have on my to-do list as of now. Kinda feeling stuck
This video, it broke me down, tore me asunder. Opened my eyes wide because someone finally explained what it meant to "grow up." I cried literal tears. As im writing this, Im crying, reflecting, thinking about how I didn't figure this out on my own, and it hurts. It hurts so bad, but that just means it meant something more than a few words.
I had over 11k in credit card debt at one point. It is down to $6500 and still going down since my dad convinced me to take control with a budget. A budget showed me that I have way more money than I thought I did, and I was just throwing it away.
Deleted my comment, nice one bro.
L bro, you only preach god because you aren’t on the street starving. There’s a different between being self sufficient and being selfish.
if ur too busy worrying and focusing on other people, grow up
That my problem
You guys too?
How do you resist the urge to harden your heart?
Spotted the man child 😂
@@Yahshuaismyeverything trying to shame when he's taking accountability is btch behavior dawg
learning this at 19 is a life saver
real
Same just turned 20 bro frfr
Apply it
Keep learning it. You'll be 25 looking back wondering how you were so dumb back then
its his opinion u not learning shit go do you not a sheep to nobody
35 wife and a child, Still needed to hear this. Because every once in a while we drift off course. Thanks for grabbing the wheel real quick.
"because every once in a while we drift off course" this
So true brother, we all needed this. Even the person who made it 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Proud of you!👍
so real
@@PurposeDrivenMen bless up.
When it comes to growing up a shitty life due to circumstances out of your control, you have the absolute right to be pissed about it and blaming it to how you turned out. With that in mind, after coming to that realization, you should ask yourself "what do i do now?". Youre resentment is absolutely justified. What matters in the end is what you do next.
Everything you said was the truth brother 🙏🏽🔥
The hardest thing for me was overcoming failure after trying my best. When you cut out all the childish things, make the schedules, do the work, get up early, avoid the drugs, the girls, the parties, you make the sacrifice and you STILL fall short. Not only that the window of opportunity has passed and you don't get another opportunity to try again. Thats the one we dont talk about so much. Thats the one that aspiring athletes and even ambitious students go through every year. You have to accept that the dream is over and all that time you invested did not bear any fruit and you are forced to start over again and find a new passion when all younever wanted was one thing. And you have to ask yourself "what tf do I do now" and there is just silence, you are on your own and noone cares but you. It sucks.
Cookin with gas
This the one.
@@realantagonist5324woah there buddy, you had me till the very end there. If no one cares but you then you are actually the problem. If you are just a bare minimum decent person who worked hard and failed to accomplish something then even you’re acquaintances would take notice and try and assist you. You gotta put in work to have no one in your corner
I’m 23 and I barely came to the realization that I need to become a man. I wish I would have learned this years ago. I finally took the first step, and it’s one step at a time. I appreciate you brother, you have taught me a lot. 🙏🏽 God Bless you!
The fact you already realize it so young is a win brother
Keep going and it really is a step at a time. 🤝
@@Bassynater2500 Thank you brother, likewise 💯🤝
Keep that same energy bro you got it 💪🏾💪🏾
Bro I’m 28 your fine part of life good your woke tho
Ay bro who cares if you are just finding it out, you’re being a man now and that’s what matters
Each man has his own cross to carry.With God all things are possible.
Amen brother 🙏🏽
A lot of Christians/religious people in the world, but I do not see it becoming a better place. If this were true, world hunger wouldn't be an issue in such an age & the US wouldn't have the highest poverty rates ever, despite being Christian-central. The world just gets worse. It's up to a person to make something possible. Faith can help with feelings, sure, which is why people say what you do. But, that's all it is.
@titusg4247 The world has gotten one trillion times better than it was in the past. We only know the world as it is today, but if you study history, you'll see how awful things were.
@@anthonyernst999 On a longer scale, you're right, things have gotten better in many ways. However, it's almost like things started to get much better after the industrial revolution, followed by the technological age we live in now, brought about by science.
Also, back in the times you speak of, pretty much *_everyone_* was *heavily* religious. It was peak religion back then, so why was it so bad, as you say it was, if extremely devout theism came as a standard and to find an atheist was rare?
Also, your comparison was poor. I aren't talking about way back when. I'm talking about relevant times for people that are alive now (past 100 years, let's say). Look at that awful war that's going on in the East, all in the name of religion.
Homelessness in places like the UK and the US is rising rapidly. The church certainly has enough money to fix it, but that won't happen. We live in a capitalist world, we can only help ourselves. You could spend your entire life praying to god for a miracle on the top of a mountain as hard as possible your entire life, but nothing will happen unless you take initiative and do it yourself.
Faith (can) helps people mentally, which is why I sorta wish I were able to believe in a god myself. It'd be easier to get my act together if I feared a place called hell.
@titusg4247 In the past 100 years, we fought in two World Wars, The Cold War, The Vietnam War, and others. I'm not saying things are perfect, but if we compare now to Roman times, we are much better off.
ima 15 yrs old from brazil, and this type of video helps me out so much, these real talks are essential to every man
💪🏽
Deus te abençoe irmão
“Someone ain’t ganna do the work for you” something I actually needed to hear lately.
You got this bro 🙏🏽🔥
You need someone to tell you that. This generation is cooked
@@ggdubs1796I needed that
@@corpingtons for real perspective is everything
@@corpingtons Crazy how yall need to be told these things. But regardless keep growing and learning.
Brothers im 28 had my own spot at 24 , I went back home at 26 on my way back out but with 3 business and 3 jobs so brothers your journey is your journey sometime you gotta reset but don’t waste the time‼️ : much love and success brother
3 jobs AND 3 businesses? Ur an inspiration 🙏🏽
Facts I left home at 22. With my first child. I’m 26 with 3 and another on the way. Only income and my wife stay home bc that’s how I feel things should be. Call me old school. Still out the house but I went back a few times during separations w my kids mom. Lots of setbacks I’ve faced God kept me going. Still far from the destination.
@@Malikforever for sure but don’t waste the resets grow financially and mentally much respect brother
Falling down is realizing you were standing once
@@gck8288 amen brother
I turn 20 in about a week. A few months ago I finally woke up and realized I needed to grow the fuck up. I am not close to where I need to be, but am a hell of a lot closer than I was a few months ago. These videos have been a real help in kicking my ass into gear. Thank you bro!
Same bro I turn 20 in September, it’s hella I done realized, it’s about what step next we gone take
I turn 20 next month I decided not to live with my parents in a new city and stay in my hometown with my sisters to force myself to level up through uncomfortable situations like basically being homeless to push myself to be in a position I want to be in which is a homeowner at a young age (under 21) even though it’s hard at times and I want to fold I know perseverance and dedication will make all of this worth it
Im ab three months into 20 and it’s the things like drugs alcohol social media that keeps us down but I’m glad there’s a group of us that realize we have to grow up we have to do this shit respect to you my boy the journey gonna be crazy
When I turned 19 I randomly applied to hella jobs and I got a job working as an electrical apprentice. Company put me thru school and I really enjoyed doing electrical work so I stuck with it. Now I’m 25 years old and I’m a licensed electrician making well over 6 figures. It was tough becoming a man in the trades but it made me who I am. Now I’m looking into starting my own electrical business. I recommend you young folks to join the trades. Plumbing,hvac, electrical, carpenter.. any skilled trade is in very high demand fr.
That's a good sign, it's a sign you care about your life a lot but you just don't know how to get into things yet. This was the wake up call to get out there and just look an find what you're passionate about. I was just like you, existential dread crept up on me when turning 20 and I decided from there that I have to get out there and find my passion in this world, something to be happy about in life because someone else can't provide that anymore. I feel like it's an experience all men go through when hitting their 20s, it's a very important time in our lives bc it's the beginning of our true independence. Goodluck brother, keep your head up high
20 years old, needed this, every night playing video games, not being productive; this gave me a clear head, to set challenges for myself and get uncomfortable to achieve fulfillment and higher goals. Thank you LORD and the HOLY FATHER for breathing life into me for the days I’ve had and will have on this earth i beg for forgiveness for the time I’ve wasted, the time you’ve given me; forgive me for the envy in my heart and guide me to a place of humility and gratitude. AMEN
AMEN 🙏🏽
This doesn't just apply to men... this a universal message for ALL humans... that's how I feel.
I feel that way too 💯
I use to blame the creator for my situation but then I realized it was my fault entirely
Because your delusional
Yep I realized the creator will litterly give you what you need. But our ego as humans we tend the think we know what's bests for us. God will litterly put stuff in front if us and we will still be like naw ima go this way.
Same here brother.
We all been forced to be here. Hows that our fault? My resentment towards god will be forever.
No one volunteer to be here, you’re right. Even more reason why to submit to the savior. Everyone here has a purpose. This existence is too elaborate and complex to all be for nothing. Get away from your victim mentality and seek God
34, yr old single man, no kids, yet homeless because of how I grew up. Currently still struggling to live and would have arguments in my head of how wrong they were for neglecting me and not being an actual family. I pray and look for everyday alternatives to replace those thoughts of victimizing myself. But the reality is still daunting. Bless up
love this man i’m 26 and just now coming to these realizations.
Never too late brother!
I’m 29 and still struggling with these things. Pray for me y’all. I’m workin hard to change
dw bro as long as you also pray for yourself, Gods gotcha
Lock in bro, Filipinos are hard workers but we can get distracted easily and/or lazy. Whatever it is you do, give it your all and you’ll be fine. Mahal
Same age same boat Filipino I'm with you fam.
I’m w u bro 22 been on my own but it’s jus hard to keep it pushin and knowing what the next step is , I don’t wanna say i wish but it would’ve been easier with some guidance but you’ll go through stuff that only you and a certain amount of others would understand real recognize real it’s just so crazy how people take things for granted
We must pray for each other bro at all time and ask god to help us lock in
The crazy thing is that I literally know all the right things that I need to be doing to elevate in life, but because of lack of drive and my mind making me crave comfortably it’s hard to follow those steps. In the past month though i’ve been taking control of my life and forcing myself to do tasks that I don’t want to do, and this has really made a positive impact on my life, especially the advice from your videos. Keep up the good work, messages, and positivity.💙
Pray about bro and read atomic habits that’s what’s helping me rn kinda in the same boat I’m 21
This is facts bro the mind the only thing holding us back we know we gotta lock in! Its time to elevate 📈💙
I resonate intensely with this.
I relate to this so much, I'm 24 and I'm really sorry aware, yet I genuinely lack that mental drive, I've sabotaged myself so much, but don't give up on hope, we at least have our mind in the right direction
I'm 31. Despite still living with my mom, having no car and barely $1000 in savings, I can safely say that I'm on my way up. I still seek comfort more often than not, and I don't make to-do lists. But really, everything else I have made strides change, very recently as a matter of fact.
I still have a ways to go, but little changes every day add up really quick.
When it comes to incremental change, the only "too little" or "too small" is none at all.
Love ya, bros.
I’m tired of y’all 30 something’s still acting like ignorant kids smh. Y’all act more immature than me when I was a teenager…. I was working since I was 18, now I’m 21, have like over 50k in my bank. And you… a grown @$$ 31 year old man only has 1k…. And still lives with his mom… 🤣
I’m earning my money so I can live alone when I’m older. Why on earth are there grown people like you still behaving like kids? It’s ridiculous…
Like what have you been doing all this time? I swear, it’s like y’all lived your childhood and skipped your teens and 20’s and landed in your 30’s all of a sudden 🤣 cuz this is just not possible
Keep shining brother. I'm rooting for you 🤝
Okay but you HAVE TO expect LOVE. It’s the answer, as I man I tell my brothers I love them, care for those around me with tenderness, it’s the deep compassion found in love for every living thing. It’s given me the world. Share love. Be strong.
We have to be the ones to share it, and you’re doing just that, I do the same 🙏🏽 we must be the change we wish to see, but expectations? I’m not a fan of expectations I only have expectations of myself. You’re 100% right though brother, LOVE is the answer, and it always will be
2nd year of college and still complaining, not putting the hours at work. 23 next month and l am rock bottom. I got 4 months still the end of my flat-contract. I can’t even sleep looking for a second job to pay for the next semester. Facts big bro, a man child for days. Gotta man up.
Damn bro im keeping you in my prayers please keep your head up stay safe 🙏 gotta look out for eachother out here
Sending love and prosperity to you brother I hope it ends in your favor !Stay strong !
fact in the same position, same age😂❤ same problems, its time for us to grow up
Just sharing my heartfelt opinion , but at that age and position I went through that. Please know the struggle doesn’t disappear just your decision to let it affect you changes. We talk down on the guy who living with his parents and not chasing. But it’s all about being accountable/owning your development. Because a mosquito will always try to bite you when THEY are hungry, but its up to go outside w/o protection and to get angry when an insect bites you because of their nature, but you can give them your everything they need and never will satisfy them. 😅 *Hopefully this makes sense.
U got this my man, keep going and don’t give up just push yourself everyday but give urself time to rest and take breaks so u can keep going too, also working out helps focus
I suffer from OCD and I'm 18 years old. I've recently turned my life to Christ. My biggest problems are procrastination and laziness. I've been isolated for 4 years due to my anxiety and overthinking. Now that I'm a bit stronger because of God, I want to be more mature and improve myself. I've suffered and I've been lazy, but I have never given up. I'm trying to change and I'm determined to move forward. Thank you for this video
Never gave up, Amen bro
33yr old single dad of 3, you got a new subcriber on this one. Great message here!
That means a lot brother thank you, keep being a great dad! 💪🏽🙏🏽
'A person's success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have.'- Tim Ferriss
Thanks for the hard talk bro.
Well said brother 🙏🏽
20 about to turn 21, I've been on the path to becoming a man since I was 18 with some help from my dad but he's always working and can only teach me when he's home (one and a while).
I've been feeling a bit lonesome due to my peers and friends always being on some worldy timing and always question the things that I do
( Doesn't drink very much, quit smoking weed, barely play video games, and not spanking my monkey or "fucking hella bitches" )
as I stay sober minded to reach my goals because nobody else can do it but me at the end of the day and thought I was the only person who felt like this but its good to know there are brothers and sisters out there who are on the same page trying to improve themselves to the best of their ability.
We’re with you brother on the same page! You’re not alone 💪🏽🔥🔥
Proud of u fam
It’s men like you that are really making the waves in changing the world for our brothers. Thank you 🙏🏾
I appreciate that more than you know 🙏🏽💪🏽
Powerful message. You're waking up a lot of young men with this. Much respect my brother 🙏🏾
I’m 18 and life’s been tough and I’ve been forced to mature really fast because of some crazy shit that’s been happening, and watching this shows me how much I’ve grown, thank you.
Keeping you in my prayers dawg we all gotta get through the tough times 🙏
Good job. I wish I was 18 again. Young af
Same here bro
I’m 21 1/2 years old. I started my journey at 17. I’m glad I found this at the right time. I’m still not 100%- but I’m hungry I strive for greatness
💪🏽 as long as you stay hungry you’re going to go far
Thanks for confirming im not a man-child.
Keep waking people up brotha🤙🏾
We got this brother 🔥💪🏽
I always complained about how my life was and blamed everything around me. I got too comfortable with how I am living by constantly playing games and ignoring what God has set me towards. Thank you brother, “Someone ain’t gonna do the work for you” has been what woke me up.
You got this !!!
watching this video made my day because I already have this mindset at 19 where Idc if i have to work 2 or 3 jobs to get where I wanna be at in life bc i know it'll be worth it in the end and yes i do have people around me telling me i'm young i need to clam down a little but that's the thing I can't because all that's running through my mind is trying to find a way to have a better life for myself and if i have kids them as well. I like being around successful people or smart people because it motivates me even more to get where I want to be in life and not only that i have no hate in my heart so if we have bad blood so be it but i still want to see you eat too and become successful, ik god got my back and is going to guide me through life and on the right path but thank you for the video and extra motivation brother
You’re welcome bro keep it going 🙏🏽
Thank you brother, your word has planted a seed that will grow beyond limit. Peace God
Thank you for tuning in brother 🙏🏽
I appreciate this channel, it keeps me in track, I will try and apply the principles that are taught here because my life is in a downward spiral
Im 17 and I needed to hear this, thank you for waking me up to reality, god bless you!
This video honestly filled me with joy.
I really needed it. The feeling is so liberating.
this showed me what the main focus is for a man in general and to keep yourself on schedule everyday and to become a provider by becoming self sufficient great video
Thank you 🙏🏽
I’m 20 years old and I’m so grateful for this advice big bro 💪🏾
Glad you tuned in bro 💪🏽
Bro. As u said "you have to accountable for that hundred percent, man. Can't nobody do that work for you y'all know", I got this urge to check on my dog. He was barking a lot outside and usually other people from my household check on him, because I'm always so fucking busy. But it got to me and I said "y'know what. Imma check on him, he my dog". The front door was burst open and he could have run away if a loud car or sum shit had passed by. It shook to my core. I'll never forget this. Thank you.
🫡
Blessings brother, me finding this video is a testament to my progression. Glory to God!
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Bless you bro, this advice wasn’t for me, but I just threw it on and kept it on because It’s so solid and you kept a good masculine energy rolling. This some big bro stuff that a lot of people need to hear. Putting ourselves in a humble position and opening our hearts to this. Because ultimately it comes from a place of love.
Thank you man, your message means a lot!🙏
Glad I could help brother
Every time I feel like this man is about to get harsh it ends up leveling out. Very well put and extremely well said. Kudos.
Thank you brother 🙏🏽🫡
Just graduated a few weeks ago, came to the realization that I’m like a big baby still and have been letting life shape me as it will
Well if that's goes into girls or relationships just know people like audio visual stuff like movies etc or even make your thoughts/conversations have more audio and visual energy in it and you will attract people easy ngl had the switch a week ago and it's easy to pick up girls irl and talk to people that I would of had anxiety to before etc
@@nhingedwhat do you mean have more audio or visual? Like be more descriptive when speaking and have more body language?
"if i gotta go harder then so be it" hit a core bro thankyou!
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
amazing video thats a man of God right there bro. Im 22, catholic and after watching this your probably the closest to an ideal role model I've ever seen on youtube.
Amen brother thank you 🙏🏽
It was a blessing coming across this at this particular time.
Im 34 turning 35 just 3 days from now. Its refreshing to hear it because Ive lost the plot for the last 5-6years.
Life is a trip, I remember being 22 like it was just last month. I had my own place and a partner as well at the time. It didnt work out with that person so it set me down a path of depression and I didnt further my education. I just wasted my 20s on hating on myself, not eating right and working dead end jobs. Gave myself diabetes by the time I hit 30 so watching this made me wanna cut the crap and take back the reigns of my life.
Life comes at you fast,like I said 22 to now was a blink. I needed to remind myself that I'm a capable dude. Taught myself how to read at age 4, could cook,clean and do laundry by myself by 6. I was a latchkey kid basically and would be home by myself while my mom worked 3rd shift.
I guess the point Im trying to make is that we need to stop defining ourselves by other folks metrics and just believe that we can accomplish the things we set out to do.
Thanks for the video bud.
The real fight really is fighting the societal metrics of others and ur own self-perception. Being 30+ n still figuring things out doesn't mean it's game over.
22, back at home, working on getting out. 500 dollars left on my car. Just got out of the first real relationship I’ve ever had. Training for a marathon because I love myself and I need it more then anything. No more setbacks.
I’m 22 as well. Got a new job…. Stopped those worthless dating app dates and 1 night stands. We got this bro 💪
22 as well turning 23 soon, best of luck brethren!💪
No more setbacks 💪🏽🔥
I played games, blamed people and nothing was ever my doing or my problem. My addictions, my debt and my health. Nothing changed until I took ownership. Stay Uncommon!
Stay uncommon! 💪🏽
Man I’m lovin it I’m 23 I’ve pretty much learned to grow up on this journey but this is a great reminder of what not to be ! Amen brother god bless
I love how you deliver your messages bro. You say what needs to be said, but in a way that builds up rather than tears down; inspires rather than demoralizes.
Glad you picked up on that 🙏🏽 that’s definitely intentional, we all need encouragement 💪🏽
Hey bro, I really appreciate your videos, been doing a lot of self-reflection before i found your channel this is exactly what I needed right now.
I started a new career. Got out of a serious relationship (she was talking to other men in an adult context). When we talked about it as we decided to part ways, I had to be honest with myself and realize I needed to change and be better.
I appreciate your wisdom fr bro. It took me waaay too long at 26 to realize all of this stuff, but I still have plenty of time to improve. Every day God gives me is a blessing and I don’t want to waste it.
I know you’ll continue to do great things bro! You got the purpose driven mindset and you got God, you’re unstoppable 🙏🏽
It’s perfectly fine to get help from parents, partners etc, but none of us are promised tomorrow and there may not be an inheritance waiting. We cannot depend on them and even if you can a relationship is so much better when you don’t.
💯
I’m 16, nearly to turn 17. From my brother, and from a lot of people in my life, I have heard about how to get ambition or how get much higher. Honestly it is frustrating for me because I want to change my whole life by starting to workout, and eventually lose weight. I feel like my lack of motivation, and self esteem is holding me back. I know a lot of it is my fault. My own decisions influenced the life I am living right now. I’m glad I found this video because I don’t want to be a man child. I feel like this video speaks volumes to me ,and I hope I don’t have any distractions which I feel like is what is also holding me back to where I would like to be. I say it is time for me to change now.
You can do this brother!
You already gained a subscriber with the title of this video bro. These are the conversations I love to have with other men but not a lot of men are willing to be honest and vulnerable enough to hold a conversation like this without having a temper tantrum or starting a fight. I was that way all of my life up until the last 5-6 years. I was born and bred for that lifestyle but the Lord called me out of that 3 years ago and began to keep it real with me like this. That’s the only way I was able to change. These conversations are helping me destroy these generational curses that I can see so clearly right in front of me now. I’m going through a lot of adversity atm but I don’t fear because I know the Lord is with me. So thank you my brother I’m enjoying this video as I’m watching it right now. May the Lord bless you and keep you my BIC ✊🏼✝️❤️
32 with two sons. I learned this when I was 7 years old and have done for myself ever since. Yes I lived under my mothers roof until 17, but I never asked her for anything cause I didn't want to feel disappointment from expectations. I was reminded I was on the right track when at 14 I started dating and when I was let down I didn't let it affect me emotionally like how I've seen my peers react to girls during my teenage years. Into adult hood this ideology served me well in the military and going into marriage this still served me well as I don't expect anything from my wife. I chose to be with her and if it gets to the point where I need to let her go because she's becoming a problem financially then I'll move on and I let her know that from the get go with a prenup before we got married. I've been married for 10 years now, still going strong and that doesn't mean things are perfect or we don't have minor challenges along the way, but we know how to get back on track. 2 kids in I'm now teaching my oldest these things while still allowing him to be a child and enjoy his childhood. The younger one still has time before I start on him. But, yes definitely men or young men have to understand this sooner than later. It will save you alot of stress, it will teach you how to handle situations with class, and it will build you to become BETTER MEN for yourselves for our society and for the children.
Thank you so much for sharing this brother, thank you for your service and I know it was yesterday but happy Father’s Day to you 💪🏽
Aye brotha just started watching your stuff this week actually and from the only 4 videos I’ve watched so far, every single one resonates with me!! Appreciate you for the wisdom and all in out being real w the people !! Love the messages everyday, you the first thing I put on after I leave the gym now instead of music!! Thanks bro bro keep up the blessings 🩶🔝
Thank you brother! I appreciate your support fam 🖤💪🏽
Respect brotha for spreadin the message. I’m 23 years old and I know for damn sure I ain’t no man child. But I wanna show love to you and all the other young men out there watching this. All love and Keep God first 🙏🏾
16, though I needed this.
feeling down, been doing some introspection, yes, it's one of those bland days
i type this with a foggy, unclear mind because of that.
little old me used to be happy, y'know, now i'm stressed out and lost, trying to figure things out but sometimes wasting time - off the course from fulfillment.
i hope i can find that spark again, but for now...
there is so much to be done.
thank you, malique, love you all.
God bless us all throughout.
God bless you too brother!
i just found your channel and I'm so happy I did, I'm a female but I need your videos to help me through this healing journey, sending you love
Glad you found this channel too, you’re definitely welcomed here, let’s be purpose driven! Thank you for tuning in
I am still a man child. Some of these things i don't do and some i do. Maybe i am harsh on myself because i am only 17 yet. But that doesn't matter thats no excuse. I hope i will work as hard as i can and prepare myself for this world. God shows me the way i need to walk. I am closer to him then i ever was in my life. I wish you a blessed travel and quality time with you're family. May God be with us al and may he prepare us al so we can be good solid trustworthy and hardworking men. Amen
Man.. you’re going to go far bro I believe in you. Amen brother and may God continue to lead you
Another one of those videos that mysteriously pops into my feed, and I'm thankful for it.
While I was reminded of things I need to do, there are also things that... I realize that I actually was doing all this time that were good calls. It sounds weird, but I always thought I wasn't doing the right things in life, but hearing some of the things in this video made me realize that, "Actually, I'm doing alright right now."
Thank you for this video. Not only did you make points that are honestly solid, but it reminded me that I'm not as bad as I thought I was. I hope you have a wonderful day and may God bless you and everyone here.
I thank God for you 🙏🏾
Content like this helps me to stay motivated on the path of healing from my trauma. Gotta unlearn all this learned helplessness 💪🏾.
I thank God he sent this video your way 🙏🏽
i'm 20 years old I still have some growing to do. Maturity is a choice, and it's a difficult choice to make when we have to let go of our own pride
loving the videos bro, i’m headed into college soon and all these videos have opened my eyes, be safe out there, i’ll keep you in my prayers 🙏❤️
Keeping you in my prayers too bro, use college to elevate elevate elevate 📈📈 you’re going to go far fam ❤️
You saying that real shit my brother, kids who are growing up without fathers need to hear words from people like you 🔥💯
Glad to see this video! Great inspirational message! I really needed this! Thank you and keep it up!❤
I thank god for letting me get to your page and keeping me in tune with it as much as I click on the video and to hear and read everyones stories it helps me focus and stay motivated and I hope that one day we will all have been in contact with each other at least once for being able to do something in a world where nothing seems to lead to repeats. Wish the best on everyone and hope more learn these mindsets and morals in one way or another, love
I thank God for sending this your way as well brother! Thank you 🙏🏽
this was tight bro
i appreciate this
Definitely bro 💪🏽
Thank you for this vid brother. So long, have us as men, been focused on all the bs that women have been doing, that we forgot to take a moment to reassess ourselves.
i’m really glad this guy is getting traction been seeing his videos pop up more and more . This is the kinda thing young men need to hear god bless you bro !
God bless you too brother thank you
I agree with the list. I believe these are natural things that one learns when in certain scenarios in life. As long as you look at it in a constructive manner, you'll learn. I'd like to add to the list, though.
1. Clean up after yourself, especially if you live with others, whether that be a friend, siblings, or especially your mother. This can be a root for individuals to find independence. Plus, no one wants to clean up after you; it's true. Sometimes I clean up the extra dishes or tidy up the kitchen when my mom's working or when she's sick because I know it's one less thing for her to do, and that alone is enough. She's done her best for her kids, and I've seen it. I see it every day, so don't be selfish. Think about those who are there for you and recognize them.
2. Recognize your skills and weaknesses and allow yourself to educate yourself on different topics to widen your knowledge, even on just the simple things in life. Especially on the simple things in life. No one will do it for you; you have to get it on your own. I'm working on myself any and all times I can. I have a baby on the way. Her father will be the man that all children in this world deserve, and that's just love.
(I trust y'all get it, though. I feel those who use their God-given time to watch this are men who are aware enough to want to change. For me, this was to see if there was something I could work on, maybe something I haven't seen in myself. I do that a lot. It's just part of growing tf up). Stay blessed.
Two great additions, stay blessed brother 🔥🔥💪🏽
Realest shit I’ve heard all year, god speaking to me through u I feel like.
🙏🏽glad God sent this video your way
I needed this today
22 years old, after watching this video this really inspired me,I grew up wealthy but also had to work to get what I wanted but then around 16 I started to hang around the wrong people and did bad things, one day I woke up and realized I wasn’t raised to do this so I removed myself from everything[family,drugs,women] ect. , in the process of doing that I lost myself I thought I could do it all by myself. I thought I was the toughest there was, but boy was I wrong. Sometimes I need to take a step back and evaluate myself do I like that, no but you have to be man enough to realize what you did wrong, learn from it so the same situation won’t happen again. Something that also worked for me that might sound corny is find a picture of younger you, talk to that younger self. Tell him or her the things u do and the things u will do and make yourself that promise, NEVER LET YOURSELF DOWN YOU GOT IT!!!
I’m not religious but definitely great content! You are inspiring only 22 😮 , knowledge and wisdom is ageless!
im turning 21 and he’s turning 23 in a few weeks. we’re both getting grown now and im becoming an independent young lady but even when he says he’s trying, he’s just not there. its been like this since i was 17. i wish he would watch this and seek advice and help from men like you. it’s so telling how im the one watching this and sat through with real interest. and there’s no use in sending it to him because i know now that on the chance that he does watch it, it really has to be his choice to seek help anyways 🤷🏾♀️ id never let him hold me back anymore than he has but i definitely still love him and if he just took himself seriously he’d make an excellent partner and parent, but idk. i feel stuck because he’s stuck and i’ve done everything i possibly can to help but i can only do so much without “saving him” and ruining myself.
I know it wasn’t easy to write this, but I’m glad you did, I won’t tell you what to do, but I will say this: I hate feeling stuck in life. Do what’s best for you, make sure grace, patience, and love is implemented in that decision as well, you got this. Let’s keep being great 🙏🏽
facts. i didnt grow up until i was 30. now i have a purpose that i work towards daily.
I’m 28 and I feel like I still have so much growing up to do it’s ridiculous
You’ll be all good. I’m 43 and I’ve only been on the up for like 5 years. It’s crazy how quickly very very small changes stack up and within months you can be on a different trajectory.
🙏🏽
That’s pathetic. I grew up since I was 18. And here we have these sorry excuses for human, who have lived for 30 years, let me repeat- 30 YEARS, and just barely “growing up” isn’t that sad to you? Like what have you been doing all this time? Playing with toys? 🤣
Pathetic

22nd bday to day, whole day has been a eye opener and this vid is the cherry on top. Thanks for spreading this message.
More life brother! Glad my videos could help 🔥🔥🔥
This is the message that I needed growing up and as a young man that I only very recently learned.
I'm 28 now and finally taking control and care of myself, and it's hard but I've literally just taken on a life philosophy of "fuck it, we ball" to everything now, including unfair responsibilities.
I had both parents but all they ever wanted from me was the perfect son and they were always disappointed because they had me. I had to raise myself and I did a shit job until I married my wife and moved 3,000 miles away.
Now I've got a house and I'm married to the best person I've ever met, and because she sacrificed to give me the safe space I needed to grow and learn, I figured it out.
Least I could do now is learn from her example.
You're a real one, brother. Great video. Ima be sharing this with friends for a long time I think.
Appreciate you fam 🙏🏽 and I’m happy for you, life’s all about growth and you’re an example of that 📈
The title of the video kind of left a sour taste in my mouth, but I quickly understood that this just wasn't for me and that a lot of up-and-coming men could get a lot from a video like this so I respect it. Keep on inspiring these young men brother.
Definitely brother! 💪🏽 it’s a tough title, only for those who it applies to. Keep up the great work bro 🔥💯 purpose driven
Bro thank you so much. I started evolving 2 years ago, soon my apprenticeship will be over and I will have a nice job. My next goal is to get my own spot. My parents say it is ok to stay with them but I just know it has to change. You just get complacent with things and when you have your own thing going on then the to-do list starts to form itself brother…
Proud of you brother, keep going!
Ngl bro I’m 18 and this video and the peaceful music behind really impacted me. I got stuff going on for my self but I lack discipline. This video is really good
Glad this video helped brother
Really needed to hear this; Had a strong argument with my mom about things around our home. My dad passed away 4 years ago, and was sick since I was a kid, but he taught me as much as he could before he passed away. Wish he was here to keep teaching me things, but I hope I can pick up the mantle he left behind. I'm sure I will, and I'm scared sometimes, but things will work out.
I also had an argument with a friend that thinks I betrayed him, but it was over video games, so I don't know how I did that, besides lose his trust. (have adhd, so I forget things easily) He let me go as a friend, and I don't know how that will impact my friendships going forward, but I want to do better.
Just need to keep doing my best every day, and start writing things down. Thanks again for this video; really, really needed to hear this.
Reallll Ty I’m 22 nd needed dis Ty malique
You got this brother, I’m 22 as well. It’s a great age to be, life is just starting, keep going, I believe in us!
Stop saying that this is a harsh truth. It is the reality. Thank you for this, I definitely need to work on some of the things in this video. I am 19, time to get to work. I needed to hear this.
Thanks brother!❤
Facts brother we got this, ❤️💪🏽
I didn't know I needed this. You keep it 100% real and I wish I would've found this page sooner. Giving wisdom and telling us the real. Thank you brother. It's time to lock in.
It’s time to lock in bro! I needed it too, we all need the reminder 💪🏽🔥🔥
@@PurposeDrivenMen Loving the videos, been taking notes and I have them on my wall for reminders. I appreciate you bro!
Holy shit man I loved this, thank you my brother. That games point really hit me at the stage I’m at right now in time, thank you.
You’re welcome bro I’m glad this could help 🙏🏽
Thanks my guy i really needed to hear this
You got this brother
Love these vids man. I needed this. Also a suggestion, you should put these on spotify, id love to listen to these on my way back from the gym
Bet brother I got you 🔥🤝🏽
I’m 16 and I’m so glad content like this exists especially for younger people like me who have been used to being dependent on my parents all my life. I’m so grateful for my parents for providing me with a good standard of living and giving me comfort, but this video helped me realize its now my turn to start building up my own “legacy” (cant think of a better word) and share it with my future wife and kids. Thank you for making this video. I love the raw, dead honest, laid back approach to letting me know i am a man-child.
Damn man, you so right. Thanks for the video man. Imma sett off on my journey of self improvement. I hate pain, but I can’t run no more. Imma face it. Thank you so much man. Appreciate it.
You got this 💪🏽
learning this at 11 saved my life. thank you.
Damn bro consider me jealous 😂
you're ahead of the game bro, proud of you fr!
@@NAMEKZW guys its satire i am a grown man
@@NAMEKZW the music video hard asl tho

Bless up men we got this❤💪🏼
Yes we do!
Heard you loud and clear. And I will be applying this to my life from now on. Thank you for changing my toxic and immature perspective. I wish you well.

Bro, this changed my life. Fulfillment over comfort. I’m 18 and have had those two things mixed up my whole life. Fulfillment over comfort, I’ll remember that for the rest of my life. Thank you sir, much love!❤❤❤
Much love fam you got this 🙏🏽
Thank you i could relate to this off the jump. Each one teach one.
Facts brother, each one teach one, no ones perfect, especially not me, I’m just doing my part, thank you for watching fam 🙏🏽
Keep going bruh i needed this ❤
Thank you brother we got this 💪🏽❤️
the thing i struggle with here the most is continually expecting and waiting for praise from others to fuel me, to keep me going. when you're a child and you do well at school, you get praised all the time and i think it's easy for your brain to get used to expecting praise as a reward for a job well done. when you get to be an adult that praise ends up getting a lot sparser. a lot of the time the best praise you can expect to get is not being reprimanded for making your boss's life harder. for the most part it has to come from within. you have to love yourself enough to not need the validation from other people. it's a tough switch to activate in your brain but i like to think i'm getting better. great video man
Appreciate you sharing this bro it’s facts 🙏🏽
Thank you bro, that was what I needed to hear to get myself back up ☝️. Been feeling down and demotivated for a while and been getting hella comfortable and loafing around, mindlessly scrolling on social media and TH-cam vids in bed not wanting to do ish. But just watched this vid and all you said right here hit me a certain type of way, to get me going and focused again. Appreciate you 🙏
A man's life is a personally responsibility just like a bank account
Facts!! 💯💯💯
