Ive never done a comment like this and i know the chances of you seeing this are low but i just want to let you all know how much you've inspired me these past few years, especially you Ammar. You remind me of me when im at my happiest. ever since i was little ive always been fascinated with space, not because of the stars or aliens, but the worlds beyond ours. when i watch your videos thats how i feel. I feel like there is so much more to this world and i love it all. i saw a trainhopping video you did a couple years back in the Sahara and have been obsessed with it ever since. the Sahara, the train, the people, all seemed so unreal. It blew my mind that you guys did that and still does to this day. I know that even if you guys do see this that would be pretty impossible to pull off but i have hope. I hope you guys see this, youve literally made part of who i am today, that part that i cant find in anyone else, that part that just needs to be awakened by inspiring people like you. I promise i will never let go of my inner child, i promise to find more like me so that we can be like you. I love you all, I will always seek discomfort. God Bless.
This is the best video on UA-cam, and your productions are getting better with every upload. So much emotion. Truly insipriational. Insane animations and FPV drone shots of the pyramids, and the jump gave me goosebumps. Love you guys and can't wait for our next adventure together!! :)
My first dream as a child was becoming an astronaut and to this day I'm still chasing this dream. I'm currently on the way to achieve my masters degree in Aerospace Engineering. After which I plan to start flight school whilst eagerly waiting for the next call of ESA astronauts! Ammar, you and the rest of the Yes Theory family have only inspired me more to keep chasing this dream, because I believe I can make it a reality! This astonishing video proves once again that the impossible is in fact possible no matter what people tell you! Much love from Belgium! ❤️👨🏻🚀🪂
At 60 years old, I too am a free child. I grew up in an era where people weren’t very tolerant of each other. My dream, even at 7 years old was to bring harmony. So much so that I would draw posters that were hung in the hallways of my school that was integrated for the first time ever. My dream hasn’t changed. Now, as I have become older, I love all things Egypt. Watching your adventure was a joy. Thank you for sharing.
The first dream I ever had as a kid was to proove I'm worthy... Thank you for making me realising my free child has been locked away too soon, too long. Thank you for everything. Beyond words. Love over fear.
I am weeping. To see this journey unfold over the years through all of the pain and adversity to this pure, beautiful celebration of a moment is so incredibly inspiring in infinite ways. Had me in tears of joy!
Just like many will comment below, I was in tears multiple times watching this. I feel like I've been on this journey with all of you from the videos, to the book, since close to the beginning. Thank you for showing me and the rest of us that dreams do come true as long as you work, put the time in, and are relentless in the pursuit. For that, I say thank you. *To my childhood dream, I wanted to travel the world, just like my mom. She was a travel agent for many of her younger years. Sadly, she passed away a little over a year ago from a rare disease called Scleroderma. Last year I ran my first marathon and raised $2,700 for Scleroderma research in honour of her name. I would love to do this as well in honour of her. If I'm not chosen, I'm just glad to have shared some of my thoughts and feelings to the world. God bless you all.
My keyboard is all blurry now. I can't even begin to look for the right words to explain what I'm feeling right now. What an honor to witness a person fulfill their childhood dream. What a privilege to be let into your journey. I have never felt more inspired, I have never felt this kind admiration and respect. This video is truly the most beautiful video I've ever seen on this platform. Everyone needs to see this. Ammar, you are a hero. You're showing us that dreams do come true, if you give it what it takes.
In my 51st year, I feel we all are kids at heart. I lost my father on Dec 29th to colon cancer. I so wish I could have brought him to see the pyramids to see their beauty & mystery. My dream after seeing your video is to touch my Dad one more time, seeing that this is an impossibility.. sky diving over the pyramids is the next best thing... I might not be able to touch him, but I can be very close to him in heaven. Thank you for making this video it was very inspiring & touching.
This is my first comment I’ve ever left on UA-cam… this story moved me to the extent that I needed to say something. Watching your Dad jump with you, knowing his fear of heights, was so powerful. And, you, pursuing your dream in your homeland is beautiful. Congratulations! Thank you for sharing and inspiring us.
This video made me cry about 4 times. It is so beautiful to see that Ammar got to fulfill his lifelong dream and to do it with his father, is a feeling that I am unable to put into words. My lifelong dream since I was a child, is to travel the world, and have the ability to bring my parents along. It is hard to travel at such a young age and to bring your parents along is harder. I haven’t done this yes, and I wish that one day, I will be able to fulfill this dream.
i been up for several hours watching these...and all the crying im doing..im just a ball of snot right now!...my god these are blessed God touched souls!
I cried with you when you stepped foot in Egypt again! You are such an inspiration to me and probably so many more people out there! Keep up the fantastic work with Yes Theory, and much love from Austria ❤
As a long time follower, this one brought me to tears. Congratulations to you for your unwavering commitment to following your dreams. None of this happened without taking risk & the full circle moment landed right above the pyramids you dreamt of climbing all those years back. Heli snowboarding is the first dream I can remember as a kid. To have a helicopter drop you at the edge of an untouched face, where no man has ever stood, and no line has ever been taken. I'm still in pursuit of this dream & I hope to accomplish it much like you did, Ammar!
I really just cried watching this. I‘ve been watching the channel for 6 years. Between all the ups and downs. Seeing a true childhood dream come true after everything that happened with Ammar is INCREDIBLE. Fucking love everything about this, your channel and (haven‘t met you yet but) you guys in general. My childhood dream, as far as I can remember, has been visiting the national parks of Canada. Walking between the biggest trees of the world and being in breath taking nature.
What a video! Absolutely incredible and what an experience to jump over the pyramids! My dream since childhood has always been to make movies that not only show the beauty and wonders of the world but also help people become a better version of themselves through cinematography. I cant wait to one day see one of my own film in cinemas with many people watching it! But to also see the world myself in all its glory and capture that.
hey if anyone reading this hope you're having a good day, i need your help guys i recently lost my job and i have no more savings left and on top of that my little sister's tuition fee is overdue i tried everything to gather the funds and still i am unable to do so, please help me guys i need $5k for her fee , ill pay you back as soon as i get a job, i am in so much tention bills are piling up and now her fees please help me friends.
So happy for Ammar to finally go to Egypt after so many years. I can’t imagine having gone that long without being able to go back to my home country. My childhood dream is to travel through Europe and cap it off by seeing the Northern Lights.
I'm a 63 year old woman who longs for a world that loves and lives as your community with each other embracing each other with unconditional care❤your videos are like life breath to me!Thank you!But this one made me weep like a baby(I often cry on your videos)The beauty love freedom in this video was almost more than my heart could take!one of the freest moments I experienced through another's experience 🎉Bless you all with all the good things love can buy ❤❤❤❤
My first dream has been to cycle 40 000 km across the world… Which is the circumference of our beautiful Earth. I cycled so far 12 000, across 32 countries in Europe, Africa and the Middle East but had to put this dream aside for awhile to focus on my work and making a living. Every video of Yes theory gets me closer to jumping on my bike again and fulfilling this childhood dream of mine. Thanks guys and Mabrook Ammar !! The best video on the platform
That is crazy how that video was 7 years ago. I started to watch this channel back when I was in high school. This channel helped me get out of my comfort zone. Since then, I've traveled to 7 countries and many cities throughout the US. One of my childhood dreams was to become a physical therapist and help support my single parent mom. And I am proud to say that I am currently a first year physical therapy student. My goal is to make her proud because she has supported me throughout this entire journey. Getting to skydive over the pyramids would be a dream of mine that I cannot even think that is possible. I have been wanting to skydive since I graduated undergrad in 2020, but COVID delayed it. I am fortunate that my boyfriend knew this and booked me a skydiving trip for my birthday last year and fell in love with the trill of falling through the sky.
The joy and happiness i got from watching this is just undrescibable. Seeing Amar achieve his dream as i watched him thru hardships over the past years is just pure happiness
Writing this in tears! My first dream was to be painter, after my dear uncle bought me colored pencils while visiting in Syria. Sadly, he was killed in the war and I have not visited Syria since 2010. My now dream is to visit Syria with my mom, and to experience skydive, as I always have been so inspired by Yes Theory and other skydivers that the best experiences are out there waiting for you
I was grinning ear to ear and crying tears of joy in this one. Was so moving as a longtime viewer. You're an amazing role model for your nephew. We love you Ammar. ❤
I was crying of joy while watching this! I'm so so so happy for you like you're my family! One of my dreams always was to see the pyramids since I also studied so much about them and I'm soo fascinated by them and the whole Egiptian legacy. But my very first childhood dream was to become an astronaut and see the Space. Thank you for this opportunity to participate in this giveaway and daydream once again. To the whole team and their wonderful families: Stay with health and do more of what makes you happy!
Hey Ammar, i am 22 years old Living in Cairo as an Egyptian who's been following Yes Theory since the beginning, I've been deeply inspired by your journey and the meaning behind everything you've experienced. Watching this video really shows that noting is impossible no matter the circumstances. i am really happy for you and your proud family. Since I was a kid, I've always loved airplanes and been passionate about anything that flies. My dream of leaving a fingerprint in the aviation industry has been a mix of determination and aspiration. i am seeking that dream by graduating in Aerospace Engineering this year, and I can't wait to see where it takes me!!
Welp, first time i have ever cried for a skydiving video. It was too much, you could just feel the excitement, the pure joy and happiness on his face, it moved me to tears in a matter of seconds, what a beautiful scenery, a beautiful family, beautiful friends, everything just amazing!!!!
I have never commented on a youtube video before but this was beautiful and brought me to tears as many of your videos do. The part about reconnecting with your inner child immediately made me think about how literally my first dream ever was to go to Egypt. My dad used to talk about Egypt and pyramids and how we would visit it one day. I understood that in a very literal sense, was very excited and started packing immediately for Egypt as I thought that meant that we would visit it very soon. My packed things sat in my room for a few months before I realized that we are not going there anytime soon and I was very disappointed. Im not sure how old I was, maybe 5 or younger, I'm 22 now and would still love to travel to Egypt and see the pyramids one day. I also used to be insanely afraid of heights. But, I worked on scaffolding and the first day was SCARY. I thought I couldn't do it. But on the third day i miraculously got better dealing with that fear as i was constantly going up and down the scaffolding and realized being that afraid of heights was irrational and i linked that to some other problems in my life like anxiety and that it could also be irrational sometimes, even though i'm still very much anxious but I'm trying to get better with that, especially in the last few months. Skydiving over the pyramids would be a HUGE challenge for me because it still seems scary because there is no structure supporting you like scaffolding. But i feel like it would make me step out of my comfort zone even more and it would be an amazing experience.
This is, by far, my favourite yes theory video EVER. Not only because seeing the most ancient civilisation on earth in person has been my dream for as long as I can remember dreaming, but more so because I know what a deeply held dream this has been for Amar. To see it come to fruition with his dad by his side and his blood and chosen families cheering him on.....what an amazing moment ❤
Hi, my name is Dhara and I'm a 23 year old living in the US. I have been following your journey in Yes Theory since Project 30, so when I saw the thumbnail of this video I was clicking on it before I even registered what I was about to watch. I am so happy for you Ammar! Getting to finally see your home again and accomplish your long held dream brought tears of joy to my eyes. Seeing you struggle and being constantly rejected and told no, I had wondered if you would ever make it here and have the courage to continue pursuing it. You've just accomplished such a core pillar of the yes theory story and I feel the gravity it. This story has beyond inspired me. I can't wait to see you build that city of seekers and like-minded individuals that you hope to one day. Since I was a child, I have dreamed of working or volunteering in wildlife conservation. When I was around 9 years old, my parents created this campfire area in our backyard. Given the state of the environment with the glaciers melting and TREMENDOUS carbon emissions from a campfire, little me had to do something to stop it. So I put up posters all over my house protesting the campfire to save the penguins. It's a silly story, but it was the manifestation of that deep desire to help the environment and animals in need. Guided by high parental expectation and societal pressure, I ended up in mechanical engineering at a job I didn't enjoy. After a year, I quit in pursuit of figuring out what I really want to do with my life (about 3 months ago). In my soul-searching journey, I have gone back to my root desire of wildlife conservation and reached out to small group in the Bolivian Amazon that rescues wildlife (such as monkeys, jaguars, etc.) and rehabilitates them back into the jungle. I am now planning a trip this summer to spend my time there as a work exchange . I am as excited as I am terrified, since the conditions there are much different than how I spent most of my life (no electricity, more rustic conditions, snakes, bullet ants, tarantulas, high heat, and a lot of mosquitos) but my biggest desire is to push my limits. I know this will and so I am excited for my personal journey and everything I will learn about myself through this adventure. One of the other dreams of mine since I found you all was honestly to meet you and go on an adventure. This group has so fundamentally changed the person I am and the way I have viewed life. From growing up in an immigrant family household with many limiting beliefs ingrained in me, you all are honestly what has shown me that there can be more to life than just what you see your parents and the people around you do. That you have the power to break your own preceptions of yourself and pursue the life you want however unconventional. And since connecting to this ideology I have been on a mission to continue breaking my self-created limitations. Yes Theory to me was like the pyramids to young Ammar haha. To end this note, I just wanted to say again how amazing this story is and how inspired I am by you and the whole team. The group continues to evolve and it has been a priveledge to get to see this beautiful story!
I wish you all the best on your trip to Bolivia and all your future journeys! It sounds incredible ❤❤ i love this community and how it connects ppl from around the world. Seek discomfort!!
The first dream I can remember was that I wanted to live in the United States. I was 8 and living in my home country The Netherlands. I didn't know how I was going do it, I didn't know when, I didn't even know why. I only knew that that was something that I was going to do. No matter what. I guess the American dream spoke to me. 13 years later, I am now 21 years old and I can proudly say that I have achieved that dream. I am now studying Psychology and Music at my dream school here in California and I'm having the time of my life! I am so thankful for this amazing opportunity and I can't wait to see what more the future has in store for me❤
You'll not believe that actually my childhood dream is to see the Pyramids since I had a topic related to Egypt in the school and started discovering and researching. I was so in love with Egypt and I am 31 now, yet it's not fulfilled. 1 anf half yrs ago I went to Egyptian Embassy made a visa, visa was approved and yet due to some circumstances I was not able to go and Inshallah some day I really wish to see the Pyramids. Whenever I open my passport I see Egyptian Visa without a stamp. You have waited for 7yrs and I have been waiting for more than 17yrs. Moved from India to Bahrain and Egypt is closer now so ya Inshallah soon this childhood dream will come true.
Watched the egypt videos 7 years ago as a 14 year old teenager, now watching it happen as a 21 year old woman, crying my eyes out. We are so proud of you Ammar🪂💙
One of my very first dreams since I was a child has been to visit each of the seven wonders of the world! Seeing the pyramids from above must be absolutely breathtaking!
Dear Omar, I've let down my dad on multiple occasions. 😢 despite my flaws, my dad has been unconditional in both his love and support. It's because of my dad that my life is now absolutely beautiful bro. You and the team have been an inspiration for me throughout deep depression and saved me from chucking in the towel, I mean permanently! No joke. I don't need prizes, I only wish to say thankyou and in the native words of new zealand, " kia kaha" stay strong! You save more than you know throughout this beautiful world 🌎 love you Amar. And thankyou!😢
This is easily my all time favorite video. I know I'm just some random guy on the internet, but, I can't help but be incredibly proud of Ammar. Being able to finally come home and see his family, and even skydive with his Dad? That's just incredible. Thank you for sharing your journey over the years.
I was here when free child was first released 3 years ago and it astonished me how connected I felt to Amar's story. It was beautiful and I have been heartbroken and felt triumph along every step of Amar's journey to today's video. I have laughed, cried and loved every moment of this incredible journey 25 years in the making. Thank you Amar for involving all of us and showing us that on the path to our worst fears being realised we can discover ourselves and grow into the person we know we truly are and the person we are meant to be. Love over fear ❤
This put a tear in my eye (and that usually NEVER happens!!) So wonderful to get to follow you along your journey and watch you accomplish your dream, Ammar! It's been a true joy all these years! ❤💛 The first dream I had was to fly like Peter Pan and Superman - being free from the ground and soaring through the skies 🤩 I've always thought the closest I could get would be either a wingsuit, a jetpack, or going to space. And as crazy as the last one seems, it's definitely not escaping my bucket list!!!
Watching Ammar soar above the majestic pyramids of Egypt stirred something deep within me. As someone whose childhood was a whirlwind of constant change and new beginnings due to my family's frequent relocations, I've always felt a kinship with the quest for freedom and exploration. Growing up as an introverted kid in a perpetually shifting environment wasn't easy. Every move meant starting from scratch, making new friends, adapting to different cultures, and even learning new languages like a linguistic chameleon. But amidst the chaos, I developed an unwavering resilience and an insatiable hunger for adventure. Now, as a quality engineer trapped in the monotonous rhythm of corporate life, I find myself yearning to break free from the confines of routine and rediscover the sense of wonder and possibility that fueled my childhood dreams. Yes Theory's ethos of embracing discomfort and seizing life's opportunities resonates deeply with me. Your journey to challenge societal norms and pursue the extraordinary reminds me of the dreams I once held dear but may have buried beneath the weight of adulthood responsibilities. I've always dreamed of traversing the globe, experiencing diverse cultures, and embarking on my own passion project that aligns with my values. Yes Theory's videos, from their groundbreaking documentary 'Project Iceman' to Ammar's triumphant skydive above the pyramids, reignite the flickering flame of ambition within me. They've shown me that it's never too late to reclaim my childhood dreams and forge a path towards a life filled with purpose and fulfillment. So, as I stand at this crossroads of uncertainty, I look to Yes Theory not just for inspiration but for the courage and guidance to step outside my comfort zone, defy expectations, and pursue the extraordinary. Thank you, Yes Theory, for reminding me that the greatest adventures await those who dare to dream and seek discomfort 💪🏼 #LimitationsArePerceptions
Ammar!!! It gives me goosebumps to see you fulfilling your dream. And the whole production-it's incredible to see the progress. I'm just finishing Matt's book right now, and connecting all the dots and timelines about the whole story and seeing it here made me tear up a bit🥺 About my childhood dream. As a girl from the city of Prague in the Czech Republic, I always sought more warmth, sea, and palms (we always want something we don't have). I wanted to be a world-known adventurer going on expeditions in tropical countries, helping the environment and endangered animals. I am 24 now and have spent the last couple of years traveling around the world, finishing a degree in environmental management, and teaching yoga. Soon, I will go back to SE Asia to volunteer and backpack. And I can say I owe a lot of that to you guys. Without your videos, I might have never stepped out of my comfort zone and booked the first one-way ticket. :) THANK YOU💛 btw. If you would ever planned to shoot in Prague, I got y'all!!! 🥰
Wow, watching this video brought back a flood of memories. As a small kid, I remember visiting the Austrian Alps with my family. I vividly recall taking the cable car up the mountain, feeling the excitement build with each passing moment. But what stands out the most in my memory is the sight of another peak looming above us, just out of reach. I was too young to tackle the hike to that higher peak, but oh, how badly I wanted to see the world from its summit. In that moment, my cildhood dream was born within me, a dream to do the seemingly impossible and then behold the beauty only a few get to lay eyes upon. Watching this video, I am reminded of that childhood longing. It's amazing how a single experience can ignite a passion that lasts a lifetime. Thank you for taking me on this journey and reminding me of the beauty that inspired my very first dream.
the best aerial pov of the pyramids that i saw in a long time! shoutout to the skydive camera man, those shots were amazing my childhood dream was to have a business to sustain my family as mine worked hard for my childhood, i want work hard for their adulthood
This is everything! Alhamdulilah. Ammar, I have followed you and this team for years now. I have prayed to God to find friends like you all are to each other. I am still looking but I am hopeful. This channel makes me hopeful about humanity. I hope to meet you guys one day. So much to say to you all. My first dream ever since I can remember my life was to become a medical doctor. I finally became one last July. After many years of struggles. Alhamdulilah. I have many more dreams to achieve. The ones I don't even know yet and the one that I still can't believe I can achieve.
Seeing this as someone who was watching at the time of the original trip, absolutely inspirational to see Ammar finally get to complete his dream!!! Thank you Ammar and thank you Yes Theory for continuing to be such a positive and inspirational force in a world full of negativity!!
I got physical chills seeing the inside of that museum. How beautiful. I wish I could answer the question. I am still trying to figure out my dreams as a 25 year old. Edit: After finishing the video, I had chills for nearly the entire video.
I remember so vividly my first childhood dream was to touch the ocean floor. I seem to have forgotten the inspiration but the feeling of yearning is so vivid. Something seems so tranquil about the sea. Nobody can judge you underwater, nobody can rush you underwater, and you're just alone with yourself and/or people you trust. And this innate thing in me tells me that if I were to listen to the ocean so far below, I would somehow be hearing all of it. All of earths beauty just humming through every current.
I am a free child. Thank you so much for this inspiring video. It opened my heart in such a powerful way. Seeing that beautiful expression of your inner child’s greatest desire inspires and reminds me that it’s possible for me. My first dream as a child was to be a famous performer. I loved to be on a stage and bring joy to people’s lives. Even in the school performances I remember feeling so overwhelmed with joy and excitement to be seen and admired and to be part of a work of art. Life has been taking me along many different paths that I know is molding me into the person that will inspire, entertain and be loved by many. Thank you for sharing this story with the world. You have no idea how much it means to this free child in the Caribbean island of Tobago. ❤️🇹🇹🎉
Following Yes theory for 7 years and watching this video is heartwarming and most incredible thing , seeing myself as Mahmoud from Tunisia with the same passports issues and seeing myself in Ammar and what is he doing right now is a life changing even for me , my dream since I was kid is to travel the world and visit Japan , thanks to you guys , After 11 years from this dream started , I booked my flight ticket to JAPAN with no plans and nothing , I started achieving my goals thanks to you guys , I became a digital Nomad budget traveler ( wallah I am very thankful for that) and skydiving in one of my main activities that I am collecting for it and I believe that one day and going to do it
The first dream I ever had as a kid started when my father bought an old camcorder to document our family life. He showed me (6 years old) how to film stop-motion films on it, not knowing he had startet a spark, a love for filmmaking, inside of his son. Fast-forward many years and a difficult path, I graduated from film school, hamdulillah. I am so thankful to him that he always supported me to achieve my dreams. He is definitely my hero.
Oh Ammar 🫂 ❤️ I am so happy for you!!! I cried tears of joy watching you 🕊️ flying above those pyramids seeing you experience this, and with your father! ,was more touching and joyful than anything I've felt for a long time. Truly wonderful 🥰free child indeed ❣️❣️❣️ my first dream was to go to space 🌌 astronomy, Or to be a National Geographic photographer! For the longest time, I thought it was a---- just go do it---you can do anything, kind of world. Watching you guys brings that feeling of unlimited possibilities back to me, thank you for that. I'm so very happy for you. And kudos to your father as well. What a beautiful experience. Thank you for sharing your joy!!! I love you each and every one! But Ammar and Stefan hold a special place in my heart to be sure 🥰😘🥰😘🥰 but I love each and every one of you beautiful people with yes theory!!!! Keep up the amazing things you guys do! 💪🥰🫂❣️🕊️ 6:21
Watching this video had me in complete tears from start to finish. Remembering years ago when you all visited Egypt, to watching Ammar continuously elevate the bar in skydiving, to now seeing him do both things simultaneously, seriously brought me so much joy. As for my dream, I’ve always wanted to go up high, beyond the clouds and into space. Every new place I’d go to as a kid, my first instinct at night would be to look up at the sky and see if there were more stars there versus back home. I’m still taking baby steps towards that goal of reaching space, but skydiving in Egypt would put me a few steps closer in more ways than one! Thanks for everything you guys do, and the message you stand for of seeking discomfort!
First off, congratulations Ammar and Yes family!! This was a very special video/story to my heart. I also wasn’t able to go back to my home country (Brasil) for 19 years and I was finally blessed to be able to return in 2019 to see my family and country. The way you and your dad are getting closer and closer and sharing that special moment is everything! From what I remember as the earliest dream I had and had stuck in my mind is me waking up in a grassy field and hearing roars but not frightening roars, more calming and soothing roars. I can see myself smiling and feeling an intense feeling, I remember a lion and a lioness approaching behind me and rubbing against me. I remember this feeling that I can’t explain but just feeling that everything is going to be okay and feeling one with the lions. I felt part of them and connected like I was their cub, I just have a special place in my heart for lions and a connection that can’t be broken. I wish I could relive that dream over and over again, but maybe one day I’ll have the chance to come across a lion and have it become a reality. I have a lion tattoo on my right arm and any time I’m sad or lost I look at it and it makes me calm while also giving me the strength to push through knowing everything will be okay and work out for the best. Yes Theory! Thank you for all you guys have done and for sharing all this love with us. You guys bring so many smiles to this world and im so happy to see what you guys have accomplished. ❤
It's truly a full circle. Seeing your dream coming true, especially alongside your dad, makes us viewers all so happy. I actually cried as I watch your vid. Your story has inspired us a lot, Ammar!! The Yes Theory boys should be proud of what they've been doing for their communities for the past 10 years!
Oh my goodness, Ammar!! Watching you fall back out of the helicopter and beginning your sky dive just moved me to tears. What joy and exhilaration! I could feel it. I am so moved by your story and your journey home and back to your family, especially your father. You and all the Yes Theory team are exceptional humans and your journey to share your humanity, inspires me and all who watch you and meet you. May God keep you all safe as you move about the world. Well done!!!
My dream as a child was to be able to do everything possible in the ocean with my father. The memories I have with him jet skiing will forever live on with me. Unfortunately at the young age of 7 I lost my dad due to him taking his own life. But now I live on with his legacy by surfing waves anytime I get a chance and every time I’m in the ocean it reminds me of him and how precious this life is. I have ALWAYS wanted to sky dive, this video has inspired me in ways I can’t describe. The yes fam has changed my life I am forever grateful for finding this channel. Thank you for all you guys do 💙💙💙💙💙💙
First of all, i cried throughout the whole video. it’s so amazing to see how far you guys have come over the years and what big things have changed. most important of all, how you changed and changed other people! I honestly can’t wait to see what wonderful things this world has in store for you. And for the question: My childhood dream was to overcome my deep fear of the sea! and ever since i was a teenager my dream was to go to space! but since that a bit impossible, my nr. 1 bucket list is to visit the darkest place on earth to see all the wonders outside of this world
If that Video does not show the meaning about this community and the movement,.. what else does. You made my dream come true and at some point my time will come and ill make my dream come true, live a discomfortable life and enjoy it, as much as you guys do. You are a pure inspiration. Thanks for everything you do. The world is better because of you!
Ammar! I’ve said it before, but once again, you are an amazing guy! I can’t imagine how good it would feel to have you as a son, brother, friend or anything else. On top of that, you and everyone else on Yes Theory and Seek Discomfort deserve props for the content that you guys have produced over the years. I’ve been a viewer and fan for a long time. During my high school years, you guys were one of my sources of fueling and achieving my childhood dream!
My childhood dream has always been to see more and more things. From a young age, I’ve always been fascinated by all types of “useless” facts. Since my mom and dad were and still are the biggest help in finding these useless facts, I am very thankful for them providing me with such an amazing upbringing. As a young kid, I wanted to know a lot about the different places we visited as a family, whether it was 10 minutes or 12 hours away. During my childhood, we would spend our holidays driving through different countries in Western Europe with our caravan on the trailer hitch. This grew my love for travelling and exploring different countries, cultures and languages. The love of learning languages came to a hold during high school, when I felt overwhelmed by the pressure and the way of learning the language. I am very blessed by the high level of education in the Netherlands and by learning six languages before turning 18. While some of my language knowledge faded away, my love for travelling has not. With my friends (who luckily also like exploring new places), I have explored some countries, but I am far from satisfied! During my university studies, I got the chance to live and study in Kazakhstan for half a year. These months were some of the bests of my life, where I got to know myself, but also so many great other people. This also gave me the chance to really indulge myself in the Kazakh culture and learn a new language. After finishing my bachelor’s degree, I took my first trip to Africa with some friends. A few days into the road trip around Namibia I got the message that my dad was in a bad car accident, almost killing him. Luckily, he survived, but it made me realise that life can be much shorter than we expect. This experience taught me to make sure to spend as much time as possible with my loved ones. At the same time, like Avicii said: “one day you’ll leave this world behind, so live a life you will remember.”
The circle is now complete 😊 so happy for you and your Dad. My childhood dream was simply to be happy when I wake up and happy when I go to sleep. Although as I grew up I realised this wasn't possible everyday I understood that even if I achieved this 90% of the time then I would consider it a completed dream. Since losing my Dad 6 years ago I have been working on this dream, I quit my job, moved to Spain, got an amazing job, bought an apartment by myself, went travelling around the world, and met my now wife 🙂. Between my Dad passing and YES Theory's mindset I can safely say I'm fulfilling my dream daily. Thanks ❤
The scream of "FREE CHILD!" by the family and Thomas and others, a tear dropped and my inner-child also screamed with them. What a beautiful video. Thank you for this!
I am so proud of you all. It’s so beautiful my heart feels so happy. I have tears of joy in my eyes. I appreciate you guys. I’m 62 years old and watch all your videos.. you’re never too old to be inspired❤
This video moved me to tears. As someone who has followed along with Yes Theory from near the beginning, seeing this story come full circle makes me so incredibly happy. You’ve inspired me to push my boundaries, pursue my dreams, and reconnect with my inner child. Thank you, Yes Theory. Thank you, Ammar.
Since I was a little kid, I've been fascinated by Egyptian culture. Playing with playmobile figures of Egyptian warriors and Pharaohs fueled my love for it. Dreaming of seeing the pyramids has always been on my bucket list. Recently, I ticked off another item on my list by doing a tandem skydive in Texel, Netherlands. The feeling of freedom during the descent was unlike anything else, making it one of the best experiences I've had. Now, I can't help but imagine experiencing that thrill over the iconic pyramids, turning a childhood dream into reality.
This was a tear jerker. Full circle from watching you say goodbye 7 years ago. YES FAM FOREVER We love you Ammar!!! My first dream was to go to space! I wanted to see the earth from the “outside” is what I used to say. I didn’t have the passion to be an astronomer, but videos like this make me feel like I’m almost there ❤
Oh Ammar..I am bawling. Watching you and your journey with your father, your homeland and your inner child from the beginnings in Canada is just magic. You give me and this whole world hope. May we never give up. Free child Ammar, thank you for allowing us to be apart of your profoundly beautiful and moving journey. Wow. I forever dreamed of swimming with wild dolphins since I was a tiny young girl🩵 Love from Lauren in Ireland xx
The first Yes Theory video I watched was the Lost Pyramid. To see our boy Ammar finally achieve such an immense dream is simply incredible. You've imparted that free child belief that you felt the first time you saw the pyramids on so many millions of people, myself included. My grandfather worked for NASA for several decades, That love and wonder of the final frontier has certainly been passed down through the generations to me. Since I was young i've always dreamt of traveling beyond our earth, even if only for a moment. It's my ultimate bucket list item.
I started following 6 years ago from Australia. I have travelled the world with you boys and have enjoyed every adventure. Ammar so glad you and your dad have made up. What a reunion with your family. Am sure thye were worried for you but if they have been following you which I am sure they have they will have realized that you are living your dream I can still remember you in the freezing water and you loved it. I have told countless people to watch yes theory as you have a ball and there is continuous laughter, People all over the world just want peace and live together in harmony. Your videos show this
Ammar, you story is so inspiring. I am in tears of joy for you. This is truly amazing. Since as long as I can remember I've too wanted to back home (Brasil). Two weeks ago I finally became a US citizen, after 25 years I'll finally be able to connect to my family and culture. Planning a trip in the summer to start exploring and connecting to my roots and hopefully feeling like I belong somewhere. Thank you for never giving up and always fighting for what you want. You showed me that no dream is too big to make a reality. Congratulations, I can't wait to see where 2024 takes you ❤
My first dream happened on my first trip outside of my home in Cairo to Aswan. Just 5 years old, I took one curious look to the left when entering the plane and experienced a moment that forever changed my life. Since then I knew I wanted to fly a plane over a mountain chain one day……and even though this dream has been forgotten and cast aside by many people, I always seem to find my way back to it. In a way, the freedom of Egypt’s skies I sat below during my childhood have also inspired me to dream. Love you Ammar, and I can’t express my happiness seeing you fulfill this dream!! Forever be remembered as a legend!
My very first dream that I remember was to see the 7 ancient wonders of the world. I vividly remember my first visit to a museum with my mother and sister. We saw ancient statues and paintings, and when the guide explained the meaning and history behind all these things, I was fascinated. Then we came to a large room with 7 glass containers. Inside were models of what I think are the greatest architectural achievements in human history. I was so blown away by the history and meaning behind them. As you can imagine, I was quite shocked when my mother told me that almost all of them were destroyed, except for the Great Pyramids of Giza. My mother said to me that she would take my sister and me to Egypt as soon as I grew up. Unfortunately, she died before we could realize our dream. To this day, it is one of my life goals and I work hard every day to achieve it one day. I want to take my sister with me.
It’s been years since I’ve watched a Yes Theory video. The story telling in this brought me back to a younger me, where I would dream big and not stress as much about the future. When I was 12, I read a book about mountaineers on Mount Everest. Being born and raised in the Midwest, I have never even seen a mountain. I instantly became obsessed by the wonder of mountaineering and would spend all night on the computer reading about different mountains, routes, and techniques. I told my parents I wanted to climb the 7 summits, but didn’t know where to start. They shrugged it off assuming it was a phase. I had an uncle who lived in California, and upon mentioning this to him he told me about Mt Whitney. I was intrigued and determined to summit it so I could qualify for bigger mountains. I mowed lawns all summer to save up enough to buy a plane ticket from Michigan to California. When I flew out there, my uncle and I attempted to hike it but quickly turned around due to weather. The next 4 years I repeated this process every summer, gradually making it higher on the mountain until I finally summited at 16. Since then, my dream to climb the 7 summits has fizzled away. But my love for the mountains has only grown. When I was 18, I solo thru-hiked the JMT, summiting Whitney again. While on this hike, I met PCT hikers, who were hiking from Mexico to Canada. I was mesmerized by the adventure they were living. After hiking the JMT, I made a goal for myself to hike the PCT. Fast forward, from 19 - 24, my passion took a backseat as I focused on school and starting my career as a data analyst. However, I started to not feel like myself as my dreams and passion dissolved with the corporate grind. My mental health started deteriorating. Last year, I worked on finding more of a balance between corporate life and adventure. I took a mountaineering leadership course focused on technical skills and summited some bucket list peaks. I got promoted at work, but felt empty afterwards. My mental health was gradually getting worse, and then I was diagnosed with OCD. The diagnosis scared me, but also made sense. The past 6 months I’ve been going through difficult therapy but my mental health has been improving. This year, my goal is to reconnect with my younger self. After years of putting it off, I am quiting my job and hiking the PCT, starting in 2 months! I am determined to use this time on trail to work on learning to be grateful and not overly self critical. To learn to manage and live with my OCD. To not let it rule me. And to find balance in the positive and negative. Most importantly, I plan to share my ups and downs with the world. As we are all just doing our best :)
Best video on the internet! You got me in tears watching this , so much emotions and feelings The first dream as a kid for me was to be able to help the sick people specially in Gaza , being a muslim raised kid Gaza has always been in our heart i've witnessed so many massaceres even tho i was a kid , this made me dream about helping the kids and the people there! and everywhere actually!. Elhamdoullilah after the years i've became a Doctor so i felt that my dream is actually on the way to be realised , i'm always praying for God to help me make an impact at people's life no matter how small it is.
have been following you since the start of your journey, so happy to see you not only patch with your dad again, but make the dream come true along with him. Keep going!
Cant stress how much i love this channel,brings all the emotions out of me and im sure many others too! So happy i found YesFam a few years back. Keep up the great content,you are all so inspiring! I hope one day i will have the same connection you have with your friends.
As an Egyptian who grew up watching Yes Theory, Ammar has always been such an inspiration, his dedication to his dreams, how he always thinks about giving back to the people around him, the community, and to the Yes fam. I always knew this video would come true one day and it couldn't get any better when your dad joined. Thank you for the goosebumps and the everlasting inspiration. Back to my answer to the question, my first ever dream as a child was to become a pilot so I can visit every country around the world as part of my job (little did I know) but I still have the same dream on top of my list till now.
Oh man I felt so happy while watching this video. I think the only dream I’ve had since I was a child is to see the whole world. I remember always growing up with the need to travel and meet new places and different cultures. So I recently went to Egypt alone as part of my first big trip. Watching the video and recognizing places that I visited recently made me feel very connected to you guys. I hope I can go back to Egypt soon, and hopefully continue traveling around the world. Thanks for all the love you guys put into your videos, you are an inspiration for many, including me
My childhood dream was becoming a fighter pilot. My grandfather used to tell me stories about these czechoslovak pilots who flew for RAF and fought against Luftwaffe during WWII. He had many books about this theme and met few of those pilots personally. I always admired the bravery of these men in these amazing machines. Unfortunatelly he passed away when I was 7 years old. I really like the new museum. Looks amazing! Hope to visit it some day.
This is one of the most pure video's out here. I've loved every second of it. I find it wonderful how although a dream can seem impossible, with hope, joy, love, patience and sacrifice, it may become reality. The first thing I have ever dreamt of when I was a child was very simple. I can remember walking through the woods with my father, there was this one tree I urged to climb. Unfortunatly I couldn't, too scary for my mum, so my parents wouldn't let me. When I was 15 years old, about a decade later. I had a walk through the woods, I saw the tree. I did it. I sought discomfort, it brought me joy.
The biggest dream and first dream I've ever had was to go skydiving, and I still haven't gone. I'm 32 years old, but god willing, I'll go one day. This video made me cry. It was beautiful for so many different reasons. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤
hi friends :) new adventure begins on our Seek channel right here 😇
im really inspired and feel motivated , i wish i had more time :)
Ok
awesome
Ive never done a comment like this and i know the chances of you seeing this are low but i just want to let you all know how much you've inspired me these past few years, especially you Ammar. You remind me of me when im at my happiest. ever since i was little ive always been fascinated with space, not because of the stars or aliens, but the worlds beyond ours. when i watch your videos thats how i feel. I feel like there is so much more to this world and i love it all. i saw a trainhopping video you did a couple years back in the Sahara and have been obsessed with it ever since. the Sahara, the train, the people, all seemed so unreal. It blew my mind that you guys did that and still does to this day. I know that even if you guys do see this that would be pretty impossible to pull off but i have hope. I hope you guys see this, youve literally made part of who i am today, that part that i cant find in anyone else, that part that just needs to be awakened by inspiring people like you. I promise i will never let go of my inner child, i promise to find more like me so that we can be like you. I love you all, I will always seek discomfort. God Bless.
So cringe
This is the best video on UA-cam, and your productions are getting better with every upload. So much emotion. Truly insipriational. Insane animations and FPV drone shots of the pyramids, and the jump gave me goosebumps. Love you guys and can't wait for our next adventure together!! :)
Drew I found you here
a collabo is long over due, last time you guys were together was in Mauratania if i am not mistaken
Let me join?
Literally had me tearing up how beautiful this video was this is the best thing I’ve seen on UA-cam
Agreed definitely the best
My first dream as a child was becoming an astronaut and to this day I'm still chasing this dream. I'm currently on the way to achieve my masters degree in Aerospace Engineering. After which I plan to start flight school whilst eagerly waiting for the next call of ESA astronauts! Ammar, you and the rest of the Yes Theory family have only inspired me more to keep chasing this dream, because I believe I can make it a reality! This astonishing video proves once again that the impossible is in fact possible no matter what people tell you! Much love from Belgium! ❤️👨🏻🚀🪂
Congrats bro! Wish you the best
"i am home". the words of a child coming back to his roots, fulfilling the dream of a lifetime. this is absolutely wonderful!
This is so true, when i returned to india after 15 years i said exactly this went to the roof and cried
Love this yo
At 60 years old, I too am a free child. I grew up in an era where people weren’t very tolerant of each other. My dream, even at 7 years old was to bring harmony. So much so that I would draw posters that were hung in the hallways of my school that was integrated for the first time ever. My dream hasn’t changed. Now, as I have become older, I love all things Egypt. Watching your adventure was a joy. Thank you for sharing.
thats amazing that your dream hasnt changed
"egypt is brighter with you in it" momma ammar seems like such a respectful, kind soul. bless her, alongside all her loved ones.
Is there a greater and more fitting compliment that “Egypt is brighter with you in it”? It’s so wholesome! Love it!
yup
When I saw the title I couldn't hold back. I had to stop everything. I knew what it meant immediately.
I am so happy this moment finally happened
The first dream I ever had as a kid was to proove I'm worthy... Thank you for making me realising my free child has been locked away too soon, too long. Thank you for everything. Beyond words. Love over fear.
love over fear and gratitude over fear
I am weeping. To see this journey unfold over the years through all of the pain and adversity to this pure, beautiful celebration of a moment is so incredibly inspiring in infinite ways. Had me in tears of joy!
Me too!
Im still crying
Just like many will comment below, I was in tears multiple times watching this. I feel like I've been on this journey with all of you from the videos, to the book, since close to the beginning.
Thank you for showing me and the rest of us that dreams do come true as long as you work, put the time in, and are relentless in the pursuit.
For that, I say thank you.
*To my childhood dream, I wanted to travel the world, just like my mom.
She was a travel agent for many of her younger years. Sadly, she passed away a little over a year ago from a rare disease called Scleroderma.
Last year I ran my first marathon and raised $2,700 for Scleroderma research in honour of her name. I would love to do this as well in honour of her.
If I'm not chosen, I'm just glad to have shared some of my thoughts and feelings to the world. God bless you all.
This made me smile, thank you 😊
That's a hard, painful disease, unfortunately I know.
My keyboard is all blurry now. I can't even begin to look for the right words to explain what I'm feeling right now. What an honor to witness a person fulfill their childhood dream. What a privilege to be let into your journey. I have never felt more inspired, I have never felt this kind admiration and respect. This video is truly the most beautiful video I've ever seen on this platform. Everyone needs to see this. Ammar, you are a hero. You're showing us that dreams do come true, if you give it what it takes.
In my 51st year, I feel we all are kids at heart. I lost my father on Dec 29th to colon cancer. I so wish I could have brought him to see the pyramids to see their beauty & mystery. My dream after seeing your video is to touch my Dad one more time, seeing that this is an impossibility.. sky diving over the pyramids is the next best thing... I might not be able to touch him, but I can be very close to him in heaven. Thank you for making this video it was very inspiring & touching.
you will see your dad again, on the other side. Meanwhile, enjoy your life and make him prouder.
This is my first comment I’ve ever left on UA-cam… this story moved me to the extent that I needed to say something. Watching your Dad jump with you, knowing his fear of heights, was so powerful. And, you, pursuing your dream in your homeland is beautiful. Congratulations! Thank you for sharing and inspiring us.
This video made me cry about 4 times. It is so beautiful to see that Ammar got to fulfill his lifelong dream and to do it with his father, is a feeling that I am unable to put into words.
My lifelong dream since I was a child, is to travel the world, and have the ability to bring my parents along. It is hard to travel at such a young age and to bring your parents along is harder. I haven’t done this yes, and I wish that one day, I will be able to fulfill this dream.
Do it...within 5 years. Go for it.
i been up for several hours watching these...and all the crying im doing..im just a ball of snot right now!...my god these are blessed God touched souls!
I cried with you when you stepped foot in Egypt again! You are such an inspiration to me and probably so many more people out there! Keep up the fantastic work with Yes Theory, and much love from Austria ❤
The cover of “Im coming home” in the back ground is what made my tears start going 😪😪. Happy for you AMMAR
@@mj-mx1lu such a powerful moment
same for me, i was in tears too! dude i am also from austria, we should link up if your down...
@@gabrielaaronmoser-diary that would be awesome m8
@@gabrielaaronmoser-diary I would love to m8^^
The instrumental version of 'coming home' as Ammar literally is coming home in the airport in Egypt was perfect.
Project Ammar deserves a Movie of it's own. It's on a whole other level!
As a long time follower, this one brought me to tears. Congratulations to you for your unwavering commitment to following your dreams. None of this happened without taking risk & the full circle moment landed right above the pyramids you dreamt of climbing all those years back.
Heli snowboarding is the first dream I can remember as a kid. To have a helicopter drop you at the edge of an untouched face, where no man has ever stood, and no line has ever been taken. I'm still in pursuit of this dream & I hope to accomplish it much like you did, Ammar!
Returning to YesTheory after having watched them years ago feels insane. So much change. I’m glad it’s good change.

Love you
I really just cried watching this. I‘ve been watching the channel for 6 years. Between all the ups and downs. Seeing a true childhood dream come true after everything that happened with Ammar is INCREDIBLE. Fucking love everything about this, your channel and (haven‘t met you yet but) you guys in general.
My childhood dream, as far as I can remember, has been visiting the national parks of Canada. Walking between the biggest trees of the world and being in breath taking nature.
This is the most beautiful video on UA-cam right now. Brought me to tears
What a video! Absolutely incredible and what an experience to jump over the pyramids!
My dream since childhood has always been to make movies that not only show the beauty and wonders of the world but also help people become a better version of themselves through cinematography. I cant wait to one day see one of my own film in cinemas with many people watching it! But to also see the world myself in all its glory and capture that.
This decade long Egypt series… So inspiring. ❤
hey if anyone reading this hope you're having a good day, i need your help guys i recently lost my job and i have no more savings left and on top of that my little sister's tuition fee is overdue i tried everything to gather the funds and still i am unable to do so, please help me guys i need $5k for her fee , ill pay you back as soon as i get a job, i am in so much tention bills are piling up and now her fees please help me friends.
So happy for Ammar to finally go to Egypt after so many years. I can’t imagine having gone that long without being able to go back to my home country.
My childhood dream is to travel through Europe and cap it off by seeing the Northern Lights.
I'm a 63 year old woman who longs for a world that loves and lives as your community with each other embracing each other with unconditional care❤your videos are like life breath to me!Thank you!But this one made me weep like a baby(I often cry on your videos)The beauty love freedom in this video was almost more than my heart could take!one of the freest moments I experienced through another's experience 🎉Bless you all with all the good things love can buy ❤❤❤❤
My first dream has been to cycle 40 000 km across the world… Which is the circumference of our beautiful Earth. I cycled so far 12 000, across 32 countries in Europe, Africa and the Middle East but had to put this dream aside for awhile to focus on my work and making a living. Every video of Yes theory gets me closer to jumping on my bike again and fulfilling this childhood dream of mine. Thanks guys and Mabrook Ammar !! The best video on the platform
Take this legend, yes theory!
That is crazy how that video was 7 years ago. I started to watch this channel back when I was in high school. This channel helped me get out of my comfort zone. Since then, I've traveled to 7 countries and many cities throughout the US. One of my childhood dreams was to become a physical therapist and help support my single parent mom. And I am proud to say that I am currently a first year physical therapy student. My goal is to make her proud because she has supported me throughout this entire journey. Getting to skydive over the pyramids would be a dream of mine that I cannot even think that is possible. I have been wanting to skydive since I graduated undergrad in 2020, but COVID delayed it. I am fortunate that my boyfriend knew this and booked me a skydiving trip for my birthday last year and fell in love with the trill of falling through the sky.
Croinge
The joy and happiness i got from watching this is just undrescibable. Seeing Amar achieve his dream as i watched him thru hardships over the past years is just pure happiness
Writing this in tears! My first dream was to be painter, after my dear uncle bought me colored pencils while visiting in Syria. Sadly, he was killed in the war and I have not visited Syria since 2010. My now dream is to visit Syria with my mom, and to experience skydive, as I always have been so inspired by Yes Theory and other skydivers that the best experiences are out there waiting for you
I was grinning ear to ear and crying tears of joy in this one. Was so moving as a longtime viewer. You're an amazing role model for your nephew. We love you Ammar. ❤
I was crying of joy while watching this! I'm so so so happy for you like you're my family!
One of my dreams always was to see the pyramids since I also studied so much about them and I'm soo fascinated by them and the whole Egiptian legacy.
But my very first childhood dream was to become an astronaut and see the Space.
Thank you for this opportunity to participate in this giveaway and daydream once again.
To the whole team and their wonderful families: Stay with health and do more of what makes you happy!
Hey Ammar, i am 22 years old Living in Cairo
as an Egyptian who's been following Yes Theory since the beginning, I've been deeply inspired by your journey and the meaning behind everything you've experienced. Watching this video really shows that noting is impossible no matter the circumstances.
i am really happy for you and your proud family.
Since I was a kid, I've always loved airplanes and been passionate about anything that flies.
My dream of leaving a fingerprint in the aviation industry has been a mix of determination and aspiration. i am seeking that dream by graduating in Aerospace Engineering this year, and I can't wait to see where it takes me!!
All the best with your Journey Mohamed !
@@ryanparampil6640Thank you ryan 🥰
Welp, first time i have ever cried for a skydiving video. It was too much, you could just feel the excitement, the pure joy and happiness on his face, it moved me to tears in a matter of seconds, what a beautiful scenery, a beautiful family, beautiful friends, everything just amazing!!!!
I have never commented on a youtube video before but this was beautiful and brought me to tears as many of your videos do. The part about reconnecting with your inner child immediately made me think about how literally my first dream ever was to go to Egypt. My dad used to talk about Egypt and pyramids and how we would visit it one day. I understood that in a very literal sense, was very excited and started packing immediately for Egypt as I thought that meant that we would visit it very soon. My packed things sat in my room for a few months before I realized that we are not going there anytime soon and I was very disappointed. Im not sure how old I was, maybe 5 or younger, I'm 22 now and would still love to travel to Egypt and see the pyramids one day. I also used to be insanely afraid of heights. But, I worked on scaffolding and the first day was SCARY. I thought I couldn't do it. But on the third day i miraculously got better dealing with that fear as i was constantly going up and down the scaffolding and realized being that afraid of heights was irrational and i linked that to some other problems in my life like anxiety and that it could also be irrational sometimes, even though i'm still very much anxious but I'm trying to get better with that, especially in the last few months. Skydiving over the pyramids would be a HUGE challenge for me because it still seems scary because there is no structure supporting you like scaffolding. But i feel like it would make me step out of my comfort zone even more and it would be an amazing experience.
This is, by far, my favourite yes theory video EVER. Not only because seeing the most ancient civilisation on earth in person has been my dream for as long as I can remember dreaming, but more so because I know what a deeply held dream this has been for Amar. To see it come to fruition with his dad by his side and his blood and chosen families cheering him on.....what an amazing moment ❤
Hi, my name is Dhara and I'm a 23 year old living in the US. I have been following your journey in Yes Theory since Project 30, so when I saw the thumbnail of this video I was clicking on it before I even registered what I was about to watch. I am so happy for you Ammar! Getting to finally see your home again and accomplish your long held dream brought tears of joy to my eyes. Seeing you struggle and being constantly rejected and told no, I had wondered if you would ever make it here and have the courage to continue pursuing it. You've just accomplished such a core pillar of the yes theory story and I feel the gravity it. This story has beyond inspired me. I can't wait to see you build that city of seekers and like-minded individuals that you hope to one day.
Since I was a child, I have dreamed of working or volunteering in wildlife conservation. When I was around 9 years old, my parents created this campfire area in our backyard. Given the state of the environment with the glaciers melting and TREMENDOUS carbon emissions from a campfire, little me had to do something to stop it. So I put up posters all over my house protesting the campfire to save the penguins. It's a silly story, but it was the manifestation of that deep desire to help the environment and animals in need. Guided by high parental expectation and societal pressure, I ended up in mechanical engineering at a job I didn't enjoy. After a year, I quit in pursuit of figuring out what I really want to do with my life (about 3 months ago). In my soul-searching journey, I have gone back to my root desire of wildlife conservation and reached out to small group in the Bolivian Amazon that rescues wildlife (such as monkeys, jaguars, etc.) and rehabilitates them back into the jungle. I am now planning a trip this summer to spend my time there as a work exchange . I am as excited as I am terrified, since the conditions there are much different than how I spent most of my life (no electricity, more rustic conditions, snakes, bullet ants, tarantulas, high heat, and a lot of mosquitos) but my biggest desire is to push my limits. I know this will and so I am excited for my personal journey and everything I will learn about myself through this adventure.
One of the other dreams of mine since I found you all was honestly to meet you and go on an adventure. This group has so fundamentally changed the person I am and the way I have viewed life. From growing up in an immigrant family household with many limiting beliefs ingrained in me, you all are honestly what has shown me that there can be more to life than just what you see your parents and the people around you do. That you have the power to break your own preceptions of yourself and pursue the life you want however unconventional. And since connecting to this ideology I have been on a mission to continue breaking my self-created limitations. Yes Theory to me was like the pyramids to young Ammar haha.
To end this note, I just wanted to say again how amazing this story is and how inspired I am by you and the whole team. The group continues to evolve and it has been a priveledge to get to see this beautiful story!
I wish you all the best on your trip to Bolivia and all your future journeys! It sounds incredible ❤❤ i love this community and how it connects ppl from around the world. Seek discomfort!!
Bro used chat gbt😂
LMAOO im just unemployed and have too much free time 😂@@dion3302
I've never cried for 2 minutes straight from a youtube video before. Holy s***. This is more than just content. It's a masterpiece.
The first dream I can remember was that I wanted to live in the United States. I was 8 and living in my home country The Netherlands. I didn't know how I was going do it, I didn't know when, I didn't even know why. I only knew that that was something that I was going to do. No matter what. I guess the American dream spoke to me. 13 years later, I am now 21 years old and I can proudly say that I have achieved that dream. I am now studying Psychology and Music at my dream school here in California and I'm having the time of my life! I am so thankful for this amazing opportunity and I can't wait to see what more the future has in store for me❤
Hey fellow immigrant! I also study in California achieving my american dream! Lets connect
Super vet dat je je droom aan het waar maken bent! Groetjes
wow!
The skydiving part is soo emotional, am happy for your Ammar, Ammar's Dad, and the Yes Theory Family.
You'll not believe that actually my childhood dream is to see the Pyramids since I had a topic related to Egypt in the school and started discovering and researching. I was so in love with Egypt and I am 31 now, yet it's not fulfilled. 1 anf half yrs ago I went to Egyptian Embassy made a visa, visa was approved and yet due to some circumstances I was not able to go and Inshallah some day I really wish to see the Pyramids. Whenever I open my passport I see Egyptian Visa without a stamp. You have waited for 7yrs and I have been waiting for more than 17yrs. Moved from India to Bahrain and Egypt is closer now so ya Inshallah soon this childhood dream will come true.
Watched the egypt videos 7 years ago as a 14 year old teenager, now watching it happen as a 21 year old woman, crying my eyes out. We are so proud of you Ammar🪂💙
One of my very first dreams since I was a child has been to visit each of the seven wonders of the world! Seeing the pyramids from above must be absolutely breathtaking!
Agreed!
Dear Omar, I've let down my dad on multiple occasions. 😢 despite my flaws, my dad has been unconditional in both his love and support. It's because of my dad that my life is now absolutely beautiful bro. You and the team have been an inspiration for me throughout deep depression and saved me from chucking in the towel, I mean permanently! No joke. I don't need prizes, I only wish to say thankyou and in the native words of new zealand, " kia kaha" stay strong! You save more than you know throughout this beautiful world 🌎 love you Amar. And thankyou!😢
This is easily my all time favorite video. I know I'm just some random guy on the internet, but, I can't help but be incredibly proud of Ammar. Being able to finally come home and see his family, and even skydive with his Dad? That's just incredible. Thank you for sharing your journey over the years.
Duuuuude that's awesome! Congratz! :D
ok
man i never thought i find you here you guys both make awesome content
For anyone curious, the helicopter they took was an old Russian military transport helicopter called Mi-8MTV-1
Why dont you apologise to jay
Never thought id see you here
One of the Best Video on Internet. Felt every bit of it.
I was here when free child was first released 3 years ago and it astonished me how connected I felt to Amar's story. It was beautiful and I have been heartbroken and felt triumph along every step of Amar's journey to today's video. I have laughed, cried and loved every moment of this incredible journey 25 years in the making. Thank you Amar for involving all of us and showing us that on the path to our worst fears being realised we can discover ourselves and grow into the person we know we truly are and the person we are meant to be. Love over fear ❤
I cried. Alot 😂
This put a tear in my eye (and that usually NEVER happens!!) So wonderful to get to follow you along your journey and watch you accomplish your dream, Ammar! It's been a true joy all these years! ❤💛
The first dream I had was to fly like Peter Pan and Superman - being free from the ground and soaring through the skies 🤩 I've always thought the closest I could get would be either a wingsuit, a jetpack, or going to space. And as crazy as the last one seems, it's definitely not escaping my bucket list!!!
Watching Ammar soar above the majestic pyramids of Egypt stirred something deep within me. As someone whose childhood was a whirlwind of constant change and new beginnings due to my family's frequent relocations, I've always felt a kinship with the quest for freedom and exploration.
Growing up as an introverted kid in a perpetually shifting environment wasn't easy. Every move meant starting from scratch, making new friends, adapting to different cultures, and even learning new languages like a linguistic chameleon. But amidst the chaos, I developed an unwavering resilience and an insatiable hunger for adventure.
Now, as a quality engineer trapped in the monotonous rhythm of corporate life, I find myself yearning to break free from the confines of routine and rediscover the sense of wonder and possibility that fueled my childhood dreams.
Yes Theory's ethos of embracing discomfort and seizing life's opportunities resonates deeply with me.
Your journey to challenge societal norms and pursue the extraordinary reminds me of the dreams I once held dear but may have buried beneath the weight of adulthood responsibilities.
I've always dreamed of traversing the globe, experiencing diverse cultures, and embarking on my own passion project that aligns with my values.
Yes Theory's videos, from their groundbreaking documentary 'Project Iceman' to Ammar's triumphant skydive above the pyramids, reignite the flickering flame of ambition within me. They've shown me that it's never too late to reclaim my childhood dreams and forge a path towards a life filled with purpose and fulfillment.
So, as I stand at this crossroads of uncertainty, I look to Yes Theory not just for inspiration but for the courage and guidance to step outside my comfort zone, defy expectations, and pursue the extraordinary. Thank you, Yes Theory, for reminding me that the greatest adventures await those who dare to dream and seek discomfort 💪🏼 #LimitationsArePerceptions
That’s super interesting !
Thank you Karim ! 🙏🏼🤍
Good luck Dikra, I'm sure one day all your dreams will come true.
I really appreciate it Mehdi ☺️🙏🏼
Believe in yourself, because all the dreams have the potential to become reality. Good luck😘
Ammar!!! It gives me goosebumps to see you fulfilling your dream. And the whole production-it's incredible to see the progress. I'm just finishing Matt's book right now, and connecting all the dots and timelines about the whole story and seeing it here made me tear up a bit🥺
About my childhood dream. As a girl from the city of Prague in the Czech Republic, I always sought more warmth, sea, and palms (we always want something we don't have). I wanted to be a world-known adventurer going on expeditions in tropical countries, helping the environment and endangered animals. I am 24 now and have spent the last couple of years traveling around the world, finishing a degree in environmental management, and teaching yoga. Soon, I will go back to SE Asia to volunteer and backpack. And I can say I owe a lot of that to you guys. Without your videos, I might have never stepped out of my comfort zone and booked the first one-way ticket. :) THANK YOU💛 btw. If you would ever planned to shoot in Prague, I got y'all!!! 🥰
Wow, watching this video brought back a flood of memories. As a small kid, I remember visiting the Austrian Alps with my family. I vividly recall taking the cable car up the mountain, feeling the excitement build with each passing moment.
But what stands out the most in my memory is the sight of another peak looming above us, just out of reach. I was too young to tackle the hike to that higher peak, but oh, how badly I wanted to see the world from its summit. In that moment, my cildhood dream was born within me, a dream to do the seemingly impossible and then behold the beauty only a few get to lay eyes upon.
Watching this video, I am reminded of that childhood longing. It's amazing how a single experience can ignite a passion that lasts a lifetime. Thank you for taking me on this journey and reminding me of the beauty that inspired my very first dream.
Yesss! I can definitely relate to that!
I mean the view of the piramides form above is as good as it gets
Mine is also quite similar. I always looked up to pilots and wondered what it must be like to see the whole world.
Which peak was it? was it Eiger? Great story tho bro ✊
I get it, no wonder it had such an effect on you. I always find my peace up in the mountains
the best aerial pov of the pyramids that i saw in a long time! shoutout to the skydive camera man, those shots were amazing
my childhood dream was to have a business to sustain my family as mine worked hard for my childhood, i want work hard for their adulthood
This is everything! Alhamdulilah. Ammar, I have followed you and this team for years now. I have prayed to God to find friends like you all are to each other. I am still looking but I am hopeful. This channel makes me hopeful about humanity. I hope to meet you guys one day. So much to say to you all.
My first dream ever since I can remember my life was to become a medical doctor. I finally became one last July. After many years of struggles. Alhamdulilah. I have many more dreams to achieve. The ones I don't even know yet and the one that I still can't believe I can achieve.
Seeing this as someone who was watching at the time of the original trip, absolutely inspirational to see Ammar finally get to complete his dream!!! Thank you Ammar and thank you Yes Theory for continuing to be such a positive and inspirational force in a world full of negativity!!
I got physical chills seeing the inside of that museum. How beautiful.
I wish I could answer the question. I am still trying to figure out my dreams as a 25 year old.
Edit: After finishing the video, I had chills for nearly the entire video.
I remember so vividly my first childhood dream was to touch the ocean floor. I seem to have forgotten the inspiration but the feeling of yearning is so vivid. Something seems so tranquil about the sea. Nobody can judge you underwater, nobody can rush you underwater, and you're just alone with yourself and/or people you trust. And this innate thing in me tells me that if I were to listen to the ocean so far below, I would somehow be hearing all of it. All of earths beauty just humming through every current.
This is precious! Skydiving over the pyramids is an absolute incredible experience, but sharing this time with your dad is a true blessing.
I am a free child. Thank you so much for this inspiring video. It opened my heart in such a powerful way. Seeing that beautiful expression of your inner child’s greatest desire inspires and reminds me that it’s possible for me.
My first dream as a child was to be a famous performer. I loved to be on a stage and bring joy to people’s lives. Even in the school performances I remember feeling so overwhelmed with joy and excitement to be seen and admired and to be part of a work of art.
Life has been taking me along many different paths that I know is molding me into the person that will inspire, entertain and be loved by many. Thank you for sharing this story with the world. You have no idea how much it means to this free child in the Caribbean island of Tobago. ❤️🇹🇹🎉
Following Yes theory for 7 years and watching this video is heartwarming and most incredible thing , seeing myself as Mahmoud from Tunisia with the same passports issues and seeing myself in Ammar and what is he doing right now is a life changing even for me , my dream since I was kid is to travel the world and visit Japan , thanks to you guys , After 11 years from this dream started , I booked my flight ticket to JAPAN with no plans and nothing , I started achieving my goals thanks to you guys , I became a digital Nomad budget traveler ( wallah I am very thankful for that) and skydiving in one of my main activities that I am collecting for it and I believe that one day and going to do it
One of my first dreams as a kid was to go to Greece and see wild dolphins 🐬
Hey! Are you in Japan? Until when? I’m going for the first time after many years wanting to go
I am going to Japan in late April to mid may, I am going to do a full plan of hitchhiking and coushsurfing for it 😄
Nothing like a Yes Theory video to get me absolute bricked to the max on this fine Sunday afternoon!
constipated?
Ayo????? 🤨
HUH
@@clash3583 I'm not sure either man, I just let it happen.
what?
The first dream I ever had as a kid started when my father bought an old camcorder to document our family life. He showed me (6 years old) how to film stop-motion films on it, not knowing he had startet a spark, a love for filmmaking, inside of his son. Fast-forward many years and a difficult path, I graduated from film school, hamdulillah. I am so thankful to him that he always supported me to achieve my dreams. He is definitely my hero.
Oh Ammar 🫂 ❤️ I am so happy for you!!! I cried tears of joy watching you 🕊️ flying above those pyramids seeing you experience this, and with your father! ,was more touching and joyful than anything I've felt for a long time. Truly wonderful 🥰free child indeed ❣️❣️❣️ my first dream was to go to space 🌌 astronomy, Or to be a National Geographic photographer! For the longest time, I thought it was a---- just go do it---you can do anything, kind of world. Watching you guys brings that feeling of unlimited possibilities back to me, thank you for that. I'm so very happy for you. And kudos to your father as well. What a beautiful experience. Thank you for sharing your joy!!! I love you each and every one! But Ammar and Stefan hold a special place in my heart to be sure 🥰😘🥰😘🥰 but I love each and every one of you beautiful people with yes theory!!!! Keep up the amazing things you guys do! 💪🥰🫂❣️🕊️ 6:21
Watching this video had me in complete tears from start to finish. Remembering years ago when you all visited Egypt, to watching Ammar continuously elevate the bar in skydiving, to now seeing him do both things simultaneously, seriously brought me so much joy.
As for my dream, I’ve always wanted to go up high, beyond the clouds and into space. Every new place I’d go to as a kid, my first instinct at night would be to look up at the sky and see if there were more stars there versus back home. I’m still taking baby steps towards that goal of reaching space, but skydiving in Egypt would put me a few steps closer in more ways than one! Thanks for everything you guys do, and the message you stand for of seeking discomfort!
First off, congratulations Ammar and Yes family!! This was a very special video/story to my heart. I also wasn’t able to go back to my home country (Brasil) for 19 years and I was finally blessed to be able to return in 2019 to see my family and country. The way you and your dad are getting closer and closer and sharing that special moment is everything!
From what I remember as the earliest dream I had and had stuck in my mind is me waking up in a grassy field and hearing roars but not frightening roars, more calming and soothing roars. I can see myself smiling and feeling an intense feeling, I remember a lion and a lioness approaching behind me and rubbing against me. I remember this feeling that I can’t explain but just feeling that everything is going to be okay and feeling one with the lions. I felt part of them and connected like I was their cub, I just have a special place in my heart for lions and a connection that can’t be broken. I wish I could relive that dream over and over again, but maybe one day I’ll have the chance to come across a lion and have it become a reality. I have a lion tattoo on my right arm and any time I’m sad or lost I look at it and it makes me calm while also giving me the strength to push through knowing everything will be okay and work out for the best.
Yes Theory! Thank you for all you guys have done and for sharing all this love with us. You guys bring so many smiles to this world and im so happy to see what you guys have accomplished. ❤
It's truly a full circle. Seeing your dream coming true, especially alongside your dad, makes us viewers all so happy. I actually cried as I watch your vid. Your story has inspired us a lot, Ammar!! The Yes Theory boys should be proud of what they've been doing for their communities for the past 10 years!
Oh my goodness, Ammar!! Watching you fall back out of the helicopter and beginning your sky dive just moved me to tears. What joy and exhilaration! I could feel it. I am so moved by your story and your journey home and back to your family, especially your father. You and all the Yes Theory team are exceptional humans and your journey to share your humanity, inspires me and all who watch you and meet you. May God keep you all safe as you move about the world. Well done!!!
My dream as a child was to be able to do everything possible in the ocean with my father. The memories I have with him jet skiing will forever live on with me.
Unfortunately at the young age of 7 I lost my dad due to him taking his own life.
But now I live on with his legacy by surfing waves anytime I get a chance and every time I’m in the ocean it reminds me of him and how precious this life is.
I have ALWAYS wanted to sky dive, this video has inspired me in ways I can’t describe.
The yes fam has changed my life I am forever grateful for finding this channel.
Thank you for all you guys do 💙💙💙💙💙💙
First of all, i cried throughout the whole video. it’s so amazing to see how far you guys have come over the years and what big things have changed. most important of all, how you changed and changed other people!
I honestly can’t wait to see what wonderful things this world has in store for you.
And for the question: My childhood dream was to overcome my deep fear of the sea! and ever since i was a teenager my dream was to go to space! but since that a bit impossible, my nr. 1 bucket list is to visit the darkest place on earth to see all the wonders outside of this world
Why can I not stop crying!! But in a blessed way!! You guys are AMAZING AND WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!
If that Video does not show the meaning about this community and the movement,.. what else does. You made my dream come true and at some point my time will come and ill make my dream come true, live a discomfortable life and enjoy it, as much as you guys do. You are a pure inspiration. Thanks for everything you do. The world is better because
of you!
Ammar! I’ve said it before, but once again, you are an amazing guy! I can’t imagine how good it would feel to have you as a son, brother, friend or anything else. On top of that, you and everyone else on Yes Theory and Seek Discomfort deserve props for the content that you guys have produced over the years. I’ve been a viewer and fan for a long time. During my high school years, you guys were one of my sources of fueling and achieving my childhood dream!
My childhood dream has always been to see more and more things. From a young age, I’ve always been fascinated by all types of “useless” facts. Since my mom and dad were and still are the biggest help in finding these useless facts, I am very thankful for them providing me with such an amazing upbringing. As a young kid, I wanted to know a lot about the different places we visited as a family, whether it was 10 minutes or 12 hours away. During my childhood, we would spend our holidays driving through different countries in Western Europe with our caravan on the trailer hitch. This grew my love for travelling and exploring different countries, cultures and languages. The love of learning languages came to a hold during high school, when I felt overwhelmed by the pressure and the way of learning the language. I am very blessed by the high level of education in the Netherlands and by learning six languages before turning 18. While some of my language knowledge faded away, my love for travelling has not. With my friends (who luckily also like exploring new places), I have explored some countries, but I am far from satisfied! During my university studies, I got the chance to live and study in Kazakhstan for half a year. These months were some of the bests of my life, where I got to know myself, but also so many great other people. This also gave me the chance to really indulge myself in the Kazakh culture and learn a new language. After finishing my bachelor’s degree, I took my first trip to Africa with some friends. A few days into the road trip around Namibia I got the message that my dad was in a bad car accident, almost killing him. Luckily, he survived, but it made me realise that life can be much shorter than we expect. This experience taught me to make sure to spend as much time as possible with my loved ones. At the same time, like Avicii said: “one day you’ll leave this world behind, so live a life you will remember.”
Beautiful. My parents were much the same. Thanks for sharing ❤
The circle is now complete 😊 so happy for you and your Dad.
My childhood dream was simply to be happy when I wake up and happy when I go to sleep. Although as I grew up I realised this wasn't possible everyday I understood that even if I achieved this 90% of the time then I would consider it a completed dream. Since losing my Dad 6 years ago I have been working on this dream, I quit my job, moved to Spain, got an amazing job, bought an apartment by myself, went travelling around the world, and met my now wife 🙂. Between my Dad passing and YES Theory's mindset I can safely say I'm fulfilling my dream daily.
Thanks ❤
The scream of "FREE CHILD!" by the family and Thomas and others, a tear dropped and my inner-child also screamed with them. What a beautiful video. Thank you for this!
I am so proud of you all. It’s so beautiful my heart feels so happy. I have tears of joy in my eyes. I appreciate you guys. I’m 62 years old and watch all your videos.. you’re never too old to be inspired❤
This video moved me to tears. As someone who has followed along with Yes Theory from near the beginning, seeing this story come full circle makes me so incredibly happy. You’ve inspired me to push my boundaries, pursue my dreams, and reconnect with my inner child. Thank you, Yes Theory. Thank you, Ammar.
this is above art, cried countless times through this. bless your journey Ammar
Since I was a little kid, I've been fascinated by Egyptian culture. Playing with playmobile figures of Egyptian warriors and Pharaohs fueled my love for it. Dreaming of seeing the pyramids has always been on my bucket list.
Recently, I ticked off another item on my list by doing a tandem skydive in Texel, Netherlands. The feeling of freedom during the descent was unlike anything else, making it one of the best experiences I've had. Now, I can't help but imagine experiencing that thrill over the iconic pyramids, turning a childhood dream into reality.
Man, I was crying and couldn't breath at the same time, doing this along with Amar and...HIS DAD! GREAT photography ! Love to Amar's Family!❤
This was a tear jerker. Full circle from watching you say goodbye 7 years ago. YES FAM FOREVER We love you Ammar!!!
My first dream was to go to space! I wanted to see the earth from the “outside” is what I used to say. I didn’t have the passion to be an astronomer, but videos like this make me feel like I’m almost there ❤
Oh Ammar..I am bawling. Watching you and your journey with your father, your homeland and your inner child from the beginnings in Canada is just magic. You give me and this whole world hope. May we never give up. Free child Ammar, thank you for allowing us to be apart of your profoundly beautiful and moving journey. Wow. I forever dreamed of swimming with wild dolphins since I was a tiny young girl🩵 Love from Lauren in Ireland xx
The first Yes Theory video I watched was the Lost Pyramid. To see our boy Ammar finally achieve such an immense dream is simply incredible. You've imparted that free child belief that you felt the first time you saw the pyramids on so many millions of people, myself included. My grandfather worked for NASA for several decades, That love and wonder of the final frontier has certainly been passed down through the generations to me. Since I was young i've always dreamt of traveling beyond our earth, even if only for a moment. It's my ultimate bucket list item.
I started following 6 years ago from Australia. I have travelled the world with you boys and have enjoyed every adventure. Ammar so glad you and your dad have made up. What a reunion with your family. Am sure thye were worried for you but if they have been following you which I am sure they have they will have realized that you are living your dream I can still remember you in the freezing water and you loved it. I have told countless people to watch yes theory as you have a ball and there is continuous laughter, People all over the world just want peace and live together in harmony. Your videos show this
Ammar, you story is so inspiring. I am in tears of joy for you. This is truly amazing. Since as long as I can remember I've too wanted to back home (Brasil). Two weeks ago I finally became a US citizen, after 25 years I'll finally be able to connect to my family and culture. Planning a trip in the summer to start exploring and connecting to my roots and hopefully feeling like I belong somewhere. Thank you for never giving up and always fighting for what you want. You showed me that no dream is too big to make a reality. Congratulations, I can't wait to see where 2024 takes you ❤
My first dream happened on my first trip outside of my home in Cairo to Aswan. Just 5 years old, I took one curious look to the left when entering the plane and experienced a moment that forever changed my life. Since then I knew I wanted to fly a plane over a mountain chain one day……and even though this dream has been forgotten and cast aside by many people, I always seem to find my way back to it. In a way, the freedom of Egypt’s skies I sat below during my childhood have also inspired me to dream. Love you Ammar, and I can’t express my happiness seeing you fulfill this dream!! Forever be remembered as a legend!
My very first dream that I remember was to see the 7 ancient wonders of the world. I vividly remember my first visit to a museum with my mother and sister. We saw ancient statues and paintings, and when the guide explained the meaning and history behind all these things, I was fascinated. Then we came to a large room with 7 glass containers. Inside were models of what I think are the greatest architectural achievements in human history. I was so blown away by the history and meaning behind them.
As you can imagine, I was quite shocked when my mother told me that almost all of them were destroyed, except for the Great Pyramids of Giza.
My mother said to me that she would take my sister and me to Egypt as soon as I grew up. Unfortunately, she died before we could realize our dream.
To this day, it is one of my life goals and I work hard every day to achieve it one day. I want to take my sister with me.
I cried so much while watching this! THANK YOU for spreading love and hope in the world! I love you guys!
It’s been years since I’ve watched a Yes Theory video. The story telling in this brought me back to a younger me, where I would dream big and not stress as much about the future.
When I was 12, I read a book about mountaineers on Mount Everest. Being born and raised in the Midwest, I have never even seen a mountain. I instantly became obsessed by the wonder of mountaineering and would spend all night on the computer reading about different mountains, routes, and techniques. I told my parents I wanted to climb the 7 summits, but didn’t know where to start. They shrugged it off assuming it was a phase.
I had an uncle who lived in California, and upon mentioning this to him he told me about Mt Whitney. I was intrigued and determined to summit it so I could qualify for bigger mountains.
I mowed lawns all summer to save up enough to buy a plane ticket from Michigan to California. When I flew out there, my uncle and I attempted to hike it but quickly turned around due to weather. The next 4 years I repeated this process every summer, gradually making it higher on the mountain until I finally summited at 16.
Since then, my dream to climb the 7 summits has fizzled away. But my love for the mountains has only grown. When I was 18, I solo thru-hiked the JMT, summiting Whitney again. While on this hike, I met PCT hikers, who were hiking from Mexico to Canada. I was mesmerized by the adventure they were living. After hiking the JMT, I made a goal for myself to hike the PCT.
Fast forward, from 19 - 24, my passion took a backseat as I focused on school and starting my career as a data analyst. However, I started to not feel like myself as my dreams and passion dissolved with the corporate grind. My mental health started deteriorating.
Last year, I worked on finding more of a balance between corporate life and adventure. I took a mountaineering leadership course focused on technical skills and summited some bucket list peaks. I got promoted at work, but felt empty afterwards. My mental health was gradually getting worse, and then I was diagnosed with OCD.
The diagnosis scared me, but also made sense. The past 6 months I’ve been going through difficult therapy but my mental health has been improving.
This year, my goal is to reconnect with my younger self. After years of putting it off, I am quiting my job and hiking the PCT, starting in 2 months!
I am determined to use this time on trail to work on learning to be grateful and not overly self critical. To learn to manage and live with my OCD. To not let it rule me. And to find balance in the positive and negative.
Most importantly, I plan to share my ups and downs with the world. As we are all just doing our best :)
keep going brother
❤ follow your heart! You’ve got this!
You’ve got this!! Good luck and keep going 🙌🏻
Good luck! ☺️
Good English bro
Best video on the internet! You got me in tears watching this , so much emotions and feelings
The first dream as a kid for me was to be able to help the sick people specially in Gaza , being a muslim raised kid Gaza has always been in our heart i've witnessed so many massaceres even tho i was a kid , this made me dream about helping the kids and the people there! and everywhere actually!. Elhamdoullilah after the years i've became a Doctor so i felt that my dream is actually on the way to be realised , i'm always praying for God to help me make an impact at people's life no matter how small it is.
oh I feel my soul healing.
So must many other.
Wonderful video, thanks for sharing. Family is best, may we feast together again!
God bless!
Wow... the quality of this videos is mind blowing!!! Amazing!!
have been following you since the start of your journey, so happy to see you not only patch with your dad again, but make the dream come true along with him. Keep going!
Cant stress how much i love this channel,brings all the emotions out of me and im sure many others too!
So happy i found YesFam a few years back.
Keep up the great content,you are all so inspiring! I hope one day i will have the same connection you have with your friends.
As an Egyptian who grew up watching Yes Theory, Ammar has always been such an inspiration, his dedication to his dreams, how he always thinks about giving back to the people around him, the community, and to the Yes fam. I always knew this video would come true one day and it couldn't get any better when your dad joined. Thank you for the goosebumps and the everlasting inspiration.
Back to my answer to the question, my first ever dream as a child was to become a pilot so I can visit every country around the world as part of my job (little did I know) but I still have the same dream on top of my list till now.
My tears couldn't stop flowing from watching this video. This is so beautiful. You made it Ammar! All glory and thanks to God🙏🏼❤️
Oh man I felt so happy while watching this video.
I think the only dream I’ve had since I was a child is to see the whole world. I remember always growing up with the need to travel and meet new places and different cultures. So I recently went to Egypt alone as part of my first big trip. Watching the video and recognizing places that I visited recently made me feel very connected to you guys. I hope I can go back to Egypt soon, and hopefully continue traveling around the world.
Thanks for all the love you guys put into your videos, you are an inspiration for many, including me
My childhood dream was becoming a fighter pilot.
My grandfather used to tell me stories about these czechoslovak pilots who flew for RAF and fought against Luftwaffe during WWII. He had many books about this theme and met few of those pilots personally. I always admired the bravery of these men in these amazing machines. Unfortunatelly he passed away when I was 7 years old.
I really like the new museum. Looks amazing! Hope to visit it some day.
This is one of the most pure video's out here. I've loved every second of it. I find it wonderful how although a dream can seem impossible, with hope, joy, love, patience and sacrifice, it may become reality.
The first thing I have ever dreamt of when I was a child was very simple. I can remember walking through the woods with my father, there was this one tree I urged to climb. Unfortunatly I couldn't, too scary for my mum, so my parents wouldn't let me. When I was 15 years old, about a decade later. I had a walk through the woods, I saw the tree. I did it. I sought discomfort, it brought me joy.
The biggest dream and first dream I've ever had was to go skydiving, and I still haven't gone. I'm 32 years old, but god willing, I'll go one day. This video made me cry. It was beautiful for so many different reasons. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤
