AN ORDINARY HUMBLE MAN - with an OPEN HEART

- Take a moment to think about what you are afraid of. What is consuming your thoughts, holding you back?
Fear keeps us in our comfort zones, which are, in truth, the least safe place in which to live. So rather than fear change, let's embrace it. Let's look at all of the things that aren't working in our lives and consider the changes that would transform them. And then, one by one, start to make those changes - to dive into the sea of possibility it creates.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that we should completely eradicate the feeling of fear, because it does serve a purpose in our lives. It’s all about finding the golden middle, embracing fear as part of our life and as an emotion that can help avoid dangers, while at the same time fighting the ‘unnecessary’ fear that impacts one’s life in a negative way.
If you can't dive in, that's okay. Tip toe, baby step, crawl if you have to. Just keep moving forward, into what is already becoming your new and beautiful world. It's in your power. You just have to begin.
Filmed in Singapore.

شكرا على ترجمه بالعربي ❤
Obrigada Sibylle e Lucivani ❤
What a wonderful work ✨🙏✨this is a peace of art nourishing my mind and soul🌈🍀🌈tkU soooo much
@pilotsproject Thank you for your kind message, we are so thankful Tanja is providing the German subtitles for us. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
My daughter went to school to be a lawyer. She felt so empty. She decided she wanted to help children. She didn’t want to play the rat race game. She became a teacher and her whole existence became worthwhile. She saw herself through the children and became the best teacher there could be! She fights for them. Her life is dedicated to helping less fortunate children. Her heart is of Gods and her strength is unmeasurable. I always knew she’d do great things. This is the way we are supposed to be. Showing love.
This man is so wise. I pray he helps anyone he comes in contact with. ❤
Lovely story regarding your daughter, thank you for sharing. So nice she found her way in life and is happy in her job/is doing what she enjoys. Glad John's story resonated with you. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a wonderful comment about your daughter. She was following her heart. We need more teachers like her.
“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose”. Thank you!
Beautiful 😊
Wonderful that these few words meant so much to you Maria. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
YES!!!!
What an amazing soul!
Oh merci pour cette sensibilité et ces mots fabuleux !
What a positive man, he shines from the inside out. Thank you for sharing his story!
Our pleasure Susan. We are delighted that you enjoyed his story. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
🤍
So alive and beautiful! Thanks to the GR team for this amazing share. And, Mr. Chong, you aren't alone. Never will be. You have created a circuit of light and it's reaching all of us. We are all one.
We thank you for your kind and encouraging message Rakhi. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
We are ALL ONE ❤
"I decided to believe in myself and . . . I lost nothing compared to what I gained . Very deep in his heart he felt that " this is the RIGHT THING " Thank you very much for such a great lesson " teacher".
We are so glad he could share this great lesson with you, so glad his message resonated with you. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
So sad how we always compare ourselves to others. There will always be someone smarter, richer or better looking. Who cares! There are billions of people in the world. We can't all be the best. This short life is a gift, just try to be happy!
Thank you for sharing these thoughts with us, so true. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Wow, I needed to hear this man's words today. I smiled along with him. What a wonderfully enlightened and kind person. You certainly planted a seed for me. Thank you sir! 💚
Beautiful. We are so happy that John's story spoke to you so deeply. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
If Green Renaissance was a planet, what a wonderful world this would be. So many people on this channel that are trying to find themselves, connect, and do what God put them on this earth to do for a time. I always learn something from the people that are bold enough to share. Children will humble you and teach you have faith and have no fear! It has been said for eons, "find what you love and you'll never work again;" sounds like this man has found his happiness. Many more happy days sir.
Such a touching, encouraging and inspiring comment, thank you so much. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
mr john chong, you are MY hero!!💛 as a retired educator who has always cherished nature (and deplores contemporary people's addiction to technology), i couldn't agree more with you! and to think, feel, and believe as you do, you have ALWAYS been someone - and extraordinary. as someone who was never encouraged to follow my dreams (which, yes, made me afraid at times), when i found the courage and did (and continue to do), i felt as if i could soar, regardless of what others said and thought of me. bravo and three cheers to a true hero with integrity!!
Wonderful that he is your hero too Lola. Lovely to hear that you found the courage to follow your dreams and do and be what's inside of you. Keep walking your wonderful journey. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
We are disconnected from Nature. We must reconnect if we want to save our planet and us! You are a beautiful being and we need more like you! Your heart is pure! ❤️ Thank You Mr. Chong
Thank you for sharing this comment Linda, glad John's message resonated with you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
He is my hero too. I dream about being a bee keeper with a lavender field. I'll do that. Thank you so much, sir! Thank you too, GR!
Wonderful that John is your hero too and that his message inspired you. May your dream work out Andrea. Best of luck. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
He is absolutely right 😊 connect with nature, connect with yourself and be truly yourself and share this with no fear ❤
So happy his message resonated with you Manuela. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Justine and Michael ❤
What a joyful human being. Great way to start my day. ❤
Thank you for starting your day with a video from our channel, it touches us. So happy you enjoyed his message. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
A true teacher and now you are teaching us ❤ thank you
Our y pleasure Robbie. So happy his message spoke to you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
This couldn't have come at a more greater time than now. I feel I have no meaning of purpose anymore but hearing Mr. Chong's story and the things he said, hit me hard (in a positive way). We aren't failures if we don't push on to what others want us to do. We are successes in our own way when we stick to the things that feel true to us, planting seeds no matter how big or small they are. They still matter and that's what matters ❤
Watching these videos will nourish your soul. Take care of yourself
@@jane1044 thank you love, you do the same 💛
You have more meaning than you will EVER know! Keep going!
At times I feel my life is a falier, until someone, like that man's student, tells me that I am so inspiring to them. That keeps me going. ❤I guess we shouldn't judge ourselves so much. Hugs
We are so touched that John's message spoke to you so deeply Sunni. May his words encourage and inspire you in your future walk. May you find a way to live true to yourself. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Your videos are a calm oasis. The stories are the stories we all need to hear. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind and touching words. We are glad that these videos mean much to you.
We are truly grateful to you for your support. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Sir, your intentions are noble and your heart is pure! If only more humans are like you, this world will be a better place to live in! All the best!!
We thank you for your kind words and good wishes for John. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
How uplifting was this kind man.
He has such a sweet, healthy countenance.
At 75 now I’ve reached a time when I don’t have a dream, and suffer from chronic pain. But it’s programs like these that provide hope as I do not give up but press on each day no matter what my body is prevents me from doing.
This man’s story filled my heart with joy. I found him uplifting. I loved how he followed his dream and it’s working for him. I loved that he was still showing young children how to be in nature with the bees.
After retirement I was busy but Covid changed a lot for me. I did start doing my art journaling and gardening in my courtyard, also my new dog Lilly. But other than my immediate family, my connection to people is limited and visits with friends very limited as some still do not want to get together since Covid.
Thank you for sharing this man’s story . I enjoy this channel but do not always comment. Peace and love to all.
Thank you for sharing your situation Mags. We are sad to read that many things seem to be difficult but trust things will change again for the better. It's good to have you with us on our journey, so glad you enjoyed this video in particular and like our channel. May the messages encourage you and give you the strength you need. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife thank you so much for your caring reply. God be with you both. 🙏❤️
Pure praise to John for hos commitment and passion. Great work team Green Renaissance
Your kind and encouraging words are much appreciated. Glad you liked the video. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Beautiful wonderful man! This made me shed a good tear❤
Thank you for letting his message speak to your heart Sarah. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
A beautiful human being a lesson to all of us to love and accept who we are
So glad you enjoyed John's story. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a pure soul with a pure heart ♥️
A light that shines so bright that it scares all darkness away!
This is what our world needs!
People like John, friends like John ♥️
Simply beautiful, thank you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I just returned from 5 days camping in a Virginia ancient forest and can truly vouch for its restorative quality. People worship technology and it destroys their souls. Feel so 😞 for those who choose technology over time in/with nature. This man is such a beautiful soul. May he inspire many through his example and choices. Thanks for sharing him with us, what a gift.
How wonderful that you could have this experience Jane, that you feel restored and are reminded of the importance of living in/with nature. John's story resonated that so beautifully too, glad you enjoyed the video. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I grew up poor and never really thought about how that impacted my self worth and self esteem - what a beautiful video
Thank you for sharing your own experiences Adriann. Glad you enjoyed this video a lot. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a beautiful and rich man. The kind of friend and people you want in your life ❤️ Love and light to you 🌟
Lovely words. We are so glad you liked John's story. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
One of MY heroes was a 'remedial arithmetic' teacher in grade school .. I felt so stupid, but he made math fun for me .. he took the time to TEACH. Retired now, I still am no fan of ciphers and numbers, but interestingly enough I used it constantly in my daily life (astrology calculated by hand, numerology, pharmaceutical calculations in my medical work). So, thank you for being someone's hero!🕊
What a lovely story Linda, thank you for sharing. Yes, it's wonderful if we can be someone's hero. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
A great man and special gift to the world. And he just continues to give. Blessed are the people to come thru his path.
Thank you for each of your enriching short films. Im so blessed to have found this channel ❤
So happy you enjoyed John's story. Yes, he is a blessing and example to many.
Lovely to have you with us on our journey. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I guess I just needed a good cry today because this video made me weep deeply. I hope this gentleman is able to read the comments and see how many people he has touched. I want to be his friend and I want him as a friend in my life. What a wonderful wonderful person! Thank you, Green Renaissance, for bringing these stories to us!
We are glad you could allow the tears, sometime we need that. Wonderful to read that his message touched you so deeply. In the write up below the video is a website address where you could contact him if you would like to. Or you can send us an email to hello@greenrenaissance.co.za and we can see what we can do to put you in direct contact with John. Nice to have you with us on our journey. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael.
Thank you. Mr Chong is the sweetest soul. Just listening to him lightens my heart . Blessings from Scotland.
Pleasure. We are very happy his message lightened your heart. Sending you warm hugs to Scotland, Justine and Michael. 💚
Non è così facile spiegare la matematica e farla capire a chi ti ascolta,mi piace questo signore che piange e che è trasparente per noi❤
We are thankful his message touched you so deeply. Thank you for watching. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a soulful talk!❤️
So happy you liked the story he shared Lekha. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
You absolutely are my hero!
💚
So glad to know that people like these are living around us and thanks for spreading this home feeling❤
It's a pleasure, so glad his story created a good feeling. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
You are amazing! I worked in education 25 years plus in you my friend are a gem!!
Such beautiful words, glad his story spoke to you so deeply. Sending you warmest of hugs. Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you so much ❤
You are very welcome. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
We have limitless potential and numberless “selves” past, present and future we can access via meditation and openness to transcendent consciousness. These are the realities, not the limited reality we think of as who we are, or what our life is. The past, no matter how happy, pulls us backward from the possibilities to grow. What happened became familiar, was repeated, became habitual and eventually enclosed and caged us. We think of the familiar as a “safe “ place to dwell, but it is, in fact, the most dangerous and soul diminishing. This man listened to what his soul needed. He put fear and self doubt behind him and leapt, grew wings, and soared. So can you and I.
Thank you for sharing these encouraging and thought-provoking words Jude. Glad his message resonated with you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

@ReflectionsofLife I'm a Singaporean and when I started to see my fellow people being featured in Green Renaissance I feel really inspired, proud and surprised! Thank you for finding these wonderful souls on this tiny island. ❤😊
And thank you, for taking the time to tune in and listen to these stories from your beautiful island. Sending happy wishes to you for a lovely week ahead. Justine and Michael x
I must say finally one of your videos in an urban setting. I love all your videos but most of the others seem to always be filmed in the garden of Eden. Beautiful location, beautiful thoughts. This shows that beautiful thoughts can happen in any setting. Thank you
Thanks for the comment. And yes, we decided to film in Singapore (and most recently now, also in the USA) so that we could showcase stories filmed around the world, in different settings - to remind us that no matter where we live or what our circumstances, inside we all face similar struggles and challenges. And we hope that this helps to cultivate a greater sense of understanding, compassion and kindness. Sending you much love. Justine and Michael 💚
Thanx for sharing this amazing vedio.
It's our pleasure Seyed, glad you liked it. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a beautiful soul. You can see the kindness and light in his eyes. Thank you for sharing his light with the world

Hello Justine and Michael and everyone else involved in this channel.
Thank you so very much for your awesome videos.
I really appreciate and enjoy every single one of them.
You, yourselves, had the courage to leave a profitable, secure profession to follow your heart and to dependent on public support.
And now, you inspire us through finding these incredible people who also follow their heart.
I will leave a comment for John separately.
Thank you again.
Hugs,
Oh dear friend. Your words have touched our hearts deeply. THANK YOU for sending us this little reminder about our own journey. We get so busy in the day to day process of making each new film, that we don't take time to step back and appreciate the road that we've walked so far. You have helped to remind us of this. We send you much love. Justine and Michael x
Thank you for capturing the essence of Mr. Chong, a remarkable individual from Singapore. Life in one of the world's most expensive places, where people are constantly on the go, is challenging. Despite this, Mr. Chong embodies genuine humanity, making significant contributions of love and hope to society largely. Indeed, as fellow countrymen learned some today ❤.
So wonderful what you are sharing. We are glad that the video was so meaningful. Sending you warm hugs from South Africa, Justine and Michael. 💚
Mr Chong is so inspiring, what a beautiful person! He is absolutely right with his philosophy, I can confirm with my personal experience. Having worked in a big company I ended in a burnout because my work was so contrary to what my beliefs are. I that time was so scared to loose my existance, but found the strength to turn around and am now living with far less money in my little permaculture food forest in symbiosis with nature and gained a new wonderful resilient and fearless life, this feels great😊. I can only encourage people dare to make their dreams come true. Every step is worth it. And while others see burnout as failure, it truly was the best chance in my life to fulfill my dreams.
Thank you for sharing a bit about your life, so wonderful that you were able to to change things around and be happy after a difficult time in your life. We can understand that John's story resonated with you. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Gentle. Honest. Beautifully inspiring! Thanks again! Love
Lovely comment. We are glad you enjoyed the video. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
You are my hero too! I'm hanging onto to a teaching job, that I'm unhappy in, for financial security. You are so brave.
Wonderful that he is your hero as well. Maybe his story can inspire and encourage you, maybe a change can come. We wish wish you all the very best for life's journey and send warm hugs. Justine and Michael. 💚
❤
You are absolutely radiant and so incredibly helpful for us to realize what is important 💖
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your wisdom 🙏 😊 ❤
You are a blessing and a hero to the world with the love that you give ❤
