When you go all in, the universe starts to take you seriously in my opinion.
It sure does seem that way. Even past failures can lead to greater good.
The universe is a creation, it doesn't have a mind, God does - Be blessed.
Facts. The universe works with u. Be mindful of what you're sending out. Thats exactly what your gonna get back. Its simple.
Energy. Frequency. Vibration.
The universe doesn’t give one shit about us….and that’s the most liberating feeling once you learn to embrace it.
Time is flying by, 17 days for the biggest moment in your AW career. Go get him champ.
I quit my job and became one of the most successful knife sharpeners in the Pacific Northwest. Never looked back.
If you focus on something, even something as tiny as the edge of a knife, it can sustain you, physically, emotionally, spiritually.
Your life sounds like a parable a wise man would bring up "let me tell you about the knife sharpener", lol. ^^
I have mentored a lot of sharpeners over the years.
Just subbed to you man, free knowledge is bliss
Sorry I don’t post here more.
Why?@@PatronSaintofKnives
Thank you Devon
devon thanking devon
Thank you Devon.....
For I shall extract the essence of thy CONTENT until there remaineth not a single drop
I did concrete work on the US southern border fence for years. Had to quit to come back to Tennessee and take care of my grandma til she passed away. Not long after that my gf dropped dead right in front of me then my dad passed away right after that with lung cancer. Then COVID hit. That's when I saw your vids and immediately I was hooked lol. I'm not built for arm wrestling but a yuuuuge fan of it. I fish bass tournaments here locally. Guess that's my 1st passion but arm wrestling sure is right there with it 💪🎃
Sorry to hear of your losses of loved ones
@@dontlitethat thanks man appreciate it 🤘
I’d love to see Devon on a boat with Roland Martin.
@@BubblesandthePurrMonster lol yea man catching those big largemouths in lake Okeechobee in Florida lol
Hate Latinos?
3 in 1 oil would do wonders for that squeaky door. 😂
Was gonna say 😂
Watch it bud
When you have dodged bullets for 20 years a squeaky door is just a squeaking door -
A squeaky door lets you know when and where someone is about the house.
Strategic noise. Whether the door squeaks or does not squeak is by design.
Devon pls keep making these kind of videos. As someone who's been struggling financially for quite a while now because of chasing passion and quitting the conventional path, I found this extremely insightful and encouraging. I felt like you cut it short. Could've listened to you for 20 more mins on this 😊 hope to see more of this side of you.
I think few people have shown the dedication to the sport that you have. When you give yourself no other options, it's about survival.
"you only live once, no regrets, go for it"
thank you, it was very inspiring
So inspiring man, I can relate. 2 Years ago, with 23 yo, i quit my job to create my own business. I was good at the beguinning but I felt so much financial pressure man, that I end up having a burnout. The business was doing okey but mentaly my financial expectations were beating me slowly until I had to stop and adress them. Thats what I am doing now. I wish to have listen to this stuff two years ago, it is about freedom not anything else. And creating a job out of a passion is not good, you end up on the same position but you lose one pasion. Fortunately i feel in life you can fuck up many times but rise again wiser. Thanks for your words
Don't ever downplay your "wisdom" Devon. I think you have no idea how much you resonate with your audience... you inspire people of all ages and creeds. What a remarkable human being.
I am currently serving with Texas national guard at the border ❤ I have a tournament in San Antonio Texas in May as well. I hope I can meet you one day Mr. Larratt :) it would be an honor I would never forget
I met Devon a couple times in Toronto arm wrestling tournaments. I only talked to him briefly and he seems like a nice guy.
@@wingzero7316 that’s awesome dude. Maybe one day if I keep competing 😂 it’s been a while since I last competed but I’m training hard for what’s to come and hopefully keep the streak going
@@wildmanlopez9772 I wanted to serve in canadian military when i was younger but due to medical reasons I wasn't able to in the compacity i wanted to. Majority in canadiam military including vast majority of support roles like cooks are trained to fight on frontlines, i wasn't able to work in any combat related jobs. If i was american i think be more available/open to me with much more none combat jobs. I wanted a combat job, infantry and etc
@@wingzero7316 I’m sorry to hear that brother, I am infantry myself. What I can say is all jobs in the army are important my friend. We all have a purpose and work together in the end
@@wildmanlopez9772 i have servere bad eyesight, it worens every year. I never been a good candidate for laser eye corrective surgery. 2003 when i was 18 i tried to enlist. Nothing i could do. Laser Eye surgery only good if person has bellow -10 and stable eyesight, my eyes stabilized first time in my mid 30s for 3 years at -20, my eyes started gettimg worse again. Laser eye surgery wouldn't stoped my eyes getting worse and i would have gotten complications if i had laser eye surgery. I currently have vary thin eye tissue and i would have none if i had laser eye surgery, it removes eye tissues. As my eyes get worse i loose eye tissue. .
Not many people would want a rematch with a guy that tore his arm. Devon is the GOAT of this era💪🏻
You think? You want something bad enough I feel like you would. I have a beastly mindset though and happen to be way above average, and that's not to brag. I mention it because maybe that's why I feel like someone who really really wants something would want a rematch in this situation, and they will believe in their ability to achieve it. You're probably right though, the average person maybe wouldn't want to go down that road again, but that's disappointing to me.
@@billj4525 What are you talking about?
@@samjay1256can’t you read ?
and then add the fact its against a gigantic 400lb beast that youre directly testing your strength against 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The best armwrestler❤❤
devon needs a podcast, he's such a well-spoken dude and is very smart in the way he approaches things
The way people know Devon i don't think people know any other athletes in so much detail or engage this much ❤
Fear of failure can be scary, but so is never pursuing what you're passionate in. Be that man in the arena once more, Dev!
Bro Devon is such a legend, all the stories the things he’s been through literally sounds like he’s the main character, and i love how he tells us about it, big respect, you changed me physically and mentally in a good way obviously, thank you.
Shalom Mister Larratt.
Been following you for some time now.
You are a great ambassador for the arm-wrestling sport.
Thank you for all that you do.
May God keep you and your family safe.
All our energy and prayers are with you Devon, continue to write your story
Regardless if devon doesn't win another match in his entire career. Im a lifetime no limits fanatic! Absolutely love devon and his entire family.
I just decided to not sign a new lease and move my family into a rv for 3 months and then fly them to other side of the country while I keep working to get ahead. I’m so nervous right now cause it has to work. But I shine not burn is the family motto along with victory or death. So move forward we will go. Thanks for sharing your story!!
Good luck buddy! Hope all goes well for you and your family
@@dovi3816 Thanks!! I don’t even have a truck to pull it. 😂 part of the nervousness…
Well not a big enough truck currently. Renting one to move the trailer but the place we are going to has a 1st gen Cummins I am buying from an old fella (coworker) but it needs a bit of work first. Long term it fits all my requirements. Gives an old fella some company and home cooked meals.
I can’t wait to stomp in the highlands of Cape Breton again. So my boys learn what it is to be a highlander and free.
For what it’s worth: I do many of the same treatments you do. I’ve seen your win. I’ve seen your win. Now go get it brother!
I think In 60 years , that green jacked that you'r wearing will be hung up in a museum
What a guy.
When you have dodged bullets for 20 years a squeaky door is just a squeaking door -
I quit my job a few weeks ago and have been going like crazy around the property clearing land, building fences around gardens, an addition on our chicken coop and now working on a barn for some critters. I've already lined up several clients to house their stuff and plan on having some market sales shortly too😎
“F safety… safety’s off”. I’ve never heard a more RAMBO thing. That’s my new saying whenever I’m nervous about something. I’m taking that. It’s mine now.
Hi bud. Ran with Way of the Giant Pumpkin with my whole national team (I coach) last year and we won our World Championships, the players all big fans of "Pumpkin training" 😂😂 ... you've been a big inspiration by going so hard into specialization and it made a lot of my anecdotal findings over a career make sense. All the best for the big one coming up! Every day is a new leaf on the vine
You are a gifted human being! You are a fantastic representative for us retired CAF! You’ve done the hard time….. now it’s all yours Champ!😎🙏💪‼️
That's a timely story Mister Larratt - thank you. Going for it!
If you somehow get any sorta stop in the first few rounds I will get chills. What a story and what a character you are.
This is brave of you to come out with this brother. Good luck in the coming weeks, you got this!!
Thank you for the heartfelt and inspiring message! Life is meant to be lived looking forward, not the rearview mirror
Interesting thing is that this video showed up on my feed when i was thinking about some of that stuff on my own :) Well said, i couldn't agree more. Best of wishes fighting Levan. I hope your dream will come true!
You don’t think you’re going to beat him, you KNOW you’re going to!
And excellent speech. You deserve to live life on your terms, whether you’re the sole provider for your family or not. You only have one life, so live it! I’m glad you took the risk and pursued your passion.
You deserve every single penny that got now. Really inspiring Dev.
Devon, you're an amazing armwrestler, an amazing dude and I truly believe that you've changed the sport of arm wrestling forever and redefined what is and isn't possible. I would be rooting for you if you were going against anyone other than Levan.
Look at our boy, Dev, now: almost 1M subscribers on UA-cam!
Note: don't assume that you're gonna make it like Devon did. Look up survivorship bias. Think about cost-benefit, risk-reward, etc. Be wise.
Great philosophy and attitude Devon. It has been so amazing to follow your journey and progress over the last few years. Can’t wait for this match! You will persevere! Cheers from Perth 🇨🇦
6months ago, I did not care about the rematch. Now seeing how you are and knowing you’re not doing it for money. I know you do not want to get embarrassed. You truly believe you can win. Makes me excited about the rematch. I’m definitely paying for it because I want to possibly witness the impossible happen.💪
Devon do you feel as strong as you were against Michael Todd when you ate a ton of pancakes?
@youtubeconnollyfamily what up!!
Thanks for this Devon. Freedom is what I’m seeking, maybe one day.
Good luck in your next match buddy
You're the man! As someone who is trying to pursure their passion, i thank you for sharing you knowledge and experiences on the subject.
You’re an inspiration Devon, thanks for talking about so many aspects of life in your channel.
Everything you said makes complete sense, Devon! I really enjoyed this side of you and listening to you speak about your journey and your battles. You are ready to take the reins and the crown 👑. Levan will finally witness what its like to be beat at his game. You will be #1 in the world and im excited to see it. Good luck and keep up the amazing work!
What a speech, thanks master Devon!
You almost make me cry, this honest and serious Devon is just something else...
We all are sending you our strength this April 20... You are not pulling alone, your family is with you, your children, Jodi as always will be there watching over those elbows ... And don't get me wrong, I love Levan but the two strongest of all time colliding... Is juat pure hype 💪🏻
The amount of respect I have for this guy is even more exponential. To pursue your dream while having a family and having to quit a stable job, takes tons of courage. WE LOVE YOU DEVON! ❤You have made an extreme impact on the arm wrestling world, and actually got me into arm wrestling. Good luck on the match with levan I’m voting for u bro.
This guy is a true hero and a legend and an inspirations to so many
videos hitting me at the right time, felt drawn to you and your loveable pureness in character and personality, of course you had a message that resonated with me.
I started just as he did (on a farm, in the military overseas) and my experience was that you have to buy your freedom in life with money (saving and investing).
John was in his prime beating all the odds. Prime Devon is still developing and I believe he will dominate competition for decades to come.
Decades? He is almost 50, so I don't think that would be possible.
@@billj4525 Yeah 1 decade maybe, but 2 is definitely pushing it. lol
@@A_Mystery_Man Lol, yeah 1 decade alone would be incredible. I hope he's able to beat Levan and does it. I can't wait for the match.
Thanks for sharing big guy. Blessings to you and your family.
Hey Devon! You got my attention to this sport and I can’t get enough. Good luck on the 20th. A lot of people are with you, win or lose, keep loving what you do!
Very motivational Devon , all great people went through struggle and risked everything for passion
Thank you!❤
Devon, like you I have served my country in the CAF for years now, about 15 and I feel I am at a crossroads where I am being torn to go down multiple paths. This video is helping me to self reflect and it's honestly inspired me to make some changes that I have always been hesitant to go through with. Thanks for the words and hours of entertainment you provide us with. Best of luck vs Levan but you won't need it buddy, you're ready to take that top spot, you earned it man. Never stop moving forward.
What you have done to prepare for this rematch is above and beyond!
You're going to get the job done in impressive fashion to say the least.
I'm really wanting to make the trip to watch it live.
Sir this video made me emotional. Pursuing passion is really something which comes with financial stress and thats why a lot of athletes don't even choose their passion.
When I started following Devon....He was having around 200k-ish subscribers.... it's amazing to see the possibility of success and what it takes to be there.... quite a masterclass
Yo Devon you are such a rolemodel for me man, you've done everything I've ever wanted to do. I tried taking the risk stuff but it's always worked out horribly for me, now a days I find myself with 4 kids age 30 sole provider with a mortgage and I can never risk losing everything for my dreams. But I can live out my dream through you! Knowing you took the risk and put all the line. Devon I know your going to give this sht your all, push that sht all the way down till the pedel falls off and the wheels fall off! You are going to cripple the fken guy Devon! I can't wait! God bless you coming from Florida.
That's what I tell my wife...."It's just money, I love to gamble!"
& climb that mountain, you got this.
A great message! Thank thee very much!
Thank you for this, I wish everybody had a person like you in their family.
WE ALL LOVE YOU. Especially Levan. Thankyou Devon, you’re like a dad I never had!your family is very lucky. As far as I’m concerned, you succeeded years ago at life, and ALL of this is just your time to enjoy the rewards. 🍀 This is for you! I know why you love green;)
This is gotta be one of the best videos he’s made so far. Thanks!
Love the stuff you put out! Thanks for sharing this.
Devon I seriously believe you got the whole universe behind you for this Levan match, you are my biggest inspiration this year and Im using this fire to become very good at a business skill Im striving for. Thank you so much for being my biggest inspiration.
I'm Brazilian, and I follow your videos a little. You outdid yourself and showed incredible strength, congratulations on your work and may God bless your life.
Thank you for giving us your input !!
Solid video Dev! Very inspirational.
You got this match,,,,,,,all you have to do is get a stop,,,,,, if u can do that,,,,,u win,,,,im am so excited to see this match
Excited to witness your masterpiece!
Needed to hear this today more than ever.
Thanks man. I needed this message. I’m right in that phase of life right now.
I needed this today. Thanks Devon.
needed this brother! thank you!!!
I'm 23 from Germany & chased my passion of playing basketball professionally all my life but suffered from injuries and kinda had to decide whether I keep on chasing my passion or focus more on an academic career (moved to Netherlands in area with not too many basketball options) now it's been 2 years in the Netherlands and it's really tearing me apart. I can 100% relate to what you're saying here Devon and I have to thank you since your words have reinforced the thought in my head that I'm gonna go all in chasing my passion again with everything I have after I'm done with my studies. Good luck for all the battles you're going to have in your future! Especially for your next one against Levan, I see you winning this brother!
My favorite. What a true inspiration to this sport. Crack that wrist and drive through. Don't hold and play with Levon, smash all the way through. You have the plan. I'm just talking. We are hoping you bring the mountain down.
I'm goin' in and telling my boss to F off tomorrow morning!
very touching story, the fact that you really believe you can win based on you last match with Levan is incredible. Your infinitely improved and your not the same person anymore. You set the bar so high that we have no other choice to believe you can win. Cant wait to see this rematch.
Respect, You are definitely a hardworking man Devon and you deserve the position you are in today!
Devon hits on a very personal level for me. I own a handyman company & struggling to quit my day job to run my company full time. It's not an easy task to quit your day job. One day, I'll get there. This was a nice video to see from Devon. One heck of a man.
Devon you are inspiration for hardwork and dedication thank you🙏
Needed this convo ty
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and personal experiences good and bad. You've had a big impact on my life and my mind set. Just keep being Devon and you're going win. 💪
I really enjoyed your words of wisdom and I’m 100% rooting for you in your big match coming up. Your the best Devon and I admire you !
Man I needed that wisdom tonight..thx been thinking abt quiting my job for 5 years ..I know I need to but too afraid.....so thanks for ur message......I'm rooting for against levan
Amazing advice! 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing your story Devon. It takes courage to quit a job and follow your passion. The only thing we have in this life is time. We sell the time we have for money. Earning money with your passion, is freedom. You will beat Levan.
Awesome that you live your dream.
Life is about the journey. You had an amazing journey. We love you Devon, the outcome of this match cannot change this!
If you didn’t take the “leap of faith” who knows where this sport would be … I believe Its safe to say that 80% of the current fans of the sport… and probably near the same percentage of amateur/ pro competitors that are watching or involved with Arm Wrestling is because of you ( including myself ) … you have given so much to this sport and the growth that is shown in its current state ! You built the house that Arm Wrestling lives in…and you built the house that Arm Wrestlers call home…
Thank you !
I'm in this sport because of Denis, I stayed because of Devon (Denis is not the same anymore😔)
Thank you for this knowledge Devon !
Keep the positive energy, Devon!
Thanks Dev 👍💪
Dude, I really love your channel.
I liked this speech. I wish I knew how to convert my passion for programming video games into a way to make money.
That would be fly. That said, I would hate if my passion became a job, so it is hard for me to even fathom.
My dream is too big for me. I gotta figure it out, but so far, no dice.
For now, I will be happy I can care for my awesome family that I love so much!
And of course, I'll be rooting for you, Devon! Go out there and make some magic happen.
I believe in you, man!
Thank you for sharing this, it means a lot to me🎉
I feel like you made this video specifically for me. Words I needed to hear. Thank you!
Devon,remember,you the GOAT and you can do anything you set your mind to! You are gonna win 101%. Be watching like always.
