@@metsrus yes because your thought of evil is so powerful.. evil exist because we think,spoke and do evil.. evil is not bad at all.. good cant exist without it. they are interwoven..
I am an almost 73 year old woman and came upon you recently by accident and I love your ability to articulate and your eloquence. After spending all my life caring for others I now have the freedom to get back on the path I started many years when I learned much of what is represented in your videos but was distracted from as life got in the way. I have suffered many personal losses and more tragedies than most, the last one being more difficult to get over and move on. This video has caused me to reflect more and gives me purpose in moving forward on my journey. Having spent considerable amount of time and money with therapists, etc who wanted me to pigeon hole my beliefs into one specifically instead of relying upon different philosophies to gain knowledge. You have allowed me that freedom to be who I am. Thank you and love.
A second bit of Rumi: “Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.” My simplest morning prayer is "bless me into service"
SOCIETY has high jacked the minds of the masses into beLIEving that the need to be competitive, be a Doctor, or a Lawyer, or whatever is why they’re here. Absolutely nothing about Human kindness and allowing your spirit to move you in a direction that speaks to your soul.....It’s all about EGO tripping, nothing about Love.✌🏾
Not society, but capitalism, as it creates the need for material we really don’t need, and placing (a Protestant) value on accumulating things which supposed to make us happy. But it’s an illusion. As we accumulate these things we don’t find happiness, we find ourselves unhappy, as things, beyond the basics to live don’t fulfill our need for survival and detract us from our real purpose, to be with another, to ensure the survival of our species. That’s the origin of society. We need each other for survival, that’s our purpose. The more we distance ourselves from our purpose the miserable we feel, no matter how much money and things we have.
@@001101011010 Hmmm ... maybe one step further ... social conditioning ... social institutions ... school, church, government, ect ... formed to "control" us. Through these institutions we are manipulated with group think ideas because we think everyone else thinks this or that way ...LIKE SHEEP. For me being 'WOKE'" is thinking for ourselves... making our own choices. LOL I am not foolish enough to think that is all there is to it AND I am seeing the conditioning is DEEP. But with each discovery I become more me.
@@Msibme yes, these institutions and groups intertwine with ideology (capitalism) and work together to maintain an illusion of control, power, and self realization, when the only place we can find power, control, and self realization is by looking within ourselves.
I can relate big time, and might add, bravery and cowardice play a large part of this game too. I play for the fun of the game, sure it's fun to win, but I don't need it. Some folks cannot lose, can't take it. I have compassion for them.
@@kellysmiles849 Your bringing us good vibrations and smiles, and I'm willing to bet you've traveled many miles. I've delved into many shadows on my journey, and not here to self promote, but I hope you will visit me here if you get time. Just an old man that's learned a few things the hard way. Stay brave out there.
They really do. I've been doing some walks in the mornings and saying hello to people on dog walks sets the day in a really good way. Well for meant way. Some miserable gits may not get it 😁
My dream is to open an animal sanctuary , i try to give and help the ones (humans) in need but i can step it up, this is also a dream i want to see come true
@marco grillo totally raw vegan and mostly juicing. I have started helping people find dogs to adopt from shelters and i am in close contact with volunteers. I have small dreams but they come from a big and loving heart. Thank you
The truth is we can all do something to contribute to good and kindness to others. Why doesn't someone do something, we all are someone that can do something.
the purpose of life is to be alive, know this, you do not have to change the world because you are the world, the best way to calm muddy water is to leave it alone, no judgement, accepting life just is
@@emilydavis162 okay.. whatever you believe must be validate and verified by you.. its unfair to your soul if you ignore the signs.. that is hell as they called it..
There was a time in my life when I didn't go to a job and work but stayed home unpacked all the trauma that I had been carrying (for many lifetimes) I learned to be still, I learned to listen deeply, I asked deep questions, I saw god in the flowers and the rustling grass as the breeze would flow past & my heart sang with joy to be alive. I felt this was enough, I needed no more. In my mind, this was a gift to humanity. One less depressed anxious soul wandering around the earth plane. However, you cannot get paid just to be you, alone out in a field in bliss, no need for anyone or anything. So back to work, I was forced, back to a frantic fast-paced world where everyone is miserable & wishes they could be elsewhere...sound like me now :(
A major task for all of us brother is maintaining our spiritual progress during times the ever concious universe places us in unspiritual soul draining enviorements. Suffering is just as essential as love in this phisical dimension it's directly Intwined with our deeper purpose as awoken individuals
@@jasonauricchio1407 thank you kindly for your response :). Yes, the most challenging of all..to remain in ones center amongst the chaos. The dream seems so very real!
@@betterapproachtolife.motiv3265 :))) Or may I say ,"I have arrived,I never left" I fell into a hynotic sleep where I forgot who I truly was. I am blessed to have had moments of absolute divine bliss that serve as a reminder of such immense love and a pointer to the truth. I am equally blessed to have kind people such as yourself to serve as a gentle & timely reminder of that fact! Thank you :)
"It's not the responsibility of any one person to fix the world. It is all of our responsibility collectively" I resonate with most of what you say, but this statement I beg to differ with. I would say we have 0% responsibility to the world and 100% responsibility to our own awakening. We are not here to try and fix the world. The world can never be fixed. We are simply here to wake up.
You make a valid point. ...a poor choice of words on my part perhaps.. in retrospect, I could have expressed it much differently. Thank you for that additional perspective. Blessings!
True, but strange enough, the opposite is also true, so, changing yourself is also changing the whole world, as the truth is the world is created through you, the soul.
@@argosron9838 Ohhh Maybe responsibility for our ourselves makes up the world. I guess you see many blaming others for the consequences of their actions, scale that up and you've got corruption.
@@argosron9838 If we take that idea all the way then clearing your mind clears the entire cosmos. The physical is nothing more than a projection of consciousness. That is why our one responsibility is the mind 🙏
I realized my gift to share about 8 years ago, I started teaching my Yoga for free in my community and beyond, 8 years later I am still sharing with love, I have reached 100s of people, and just recently I was invited to teach to the Devon and Cornwall police in England, spreading the love is my Dharma in this lifetime. And during this lockdown I am doing a free hour Facebook live yoga session, Blessings and love 🙏💜🕉️
To be present in my life and to be kind and loving with honesty . Love and a desire that I do no harm and my joy is when I am able to honor the people who are overlooked, homeless or looking sad and downtrodden. Making beautiful cotton masks and giving them to the people who are in the streets and they have no help or protection. I bought army surplus can openers...P38s. They are tiny and easy to use. Then they can open food cans that I give to them. I don't risk my health , social distancing and I always thank people for allowing me to be able to help in a small way. Just decency and a reverence for people who are not cared for. Eventhough I am not wealthy and I could be in the same place as a homeless person. We are one ❤
@@betterapproachtolife.motiv3265 I certainly agree with you. I was saying that very thing by doing what I do regardless of my monetary situation. Generously is not about money. Gratitude for the ability to be able to help others in kindness and doing something for others is an important aspect of living life with loving kindness and thinking of ways to make things easier and better for all of us. I was just pointing out that I don't have wealth to do things for others and yet it is possible to make a difference in even small ways that helps a little bit to help people out. I always thank people for allowing me to do things for them... I truly appreciate the honor of the opportunity to connect with love and care. Maybe I didn't tell my intention is respect and nurturing. Sometimes it takes a smile and a hello to make a difference in the life of someone. Enjoy and I am content with my own financial life and how I find things to do for the love of being able to make a difference.
Giving people masks is a good demonstration of the relativism of serving others. I wear a mask because I feel enormous social pressure to do so, but I hate them and think they are seriously removing the humanity from the world. The ability to just smile at someone to show you understand their struggle is a million times more important than protection from a virus in my estimation. If someone gave me a mask I would not be at all grateful, I would despise it and not feel one with anyone that gave it to me. I say this only because I feel this is actually deep down what people often feel about generosity, and I'm really changing my whole outlook on life, which has for many many years been in line with your comment and the video. I'm taking the view that the best thing is just to tend your own garden, and that really means keeping well within it's borders. People that are very sure they are doing other people good by their actions are in many ways the most dangerous in society as they feel moral authority to do whatever necessary to achieve the good they are imposing. The suicide bomber feels they are doing their victims and humanity as a whole a favour by ending the lives of people they feel have become spiritually degenerate. I appreciate this is a long way from giving people can openers, and apologies if this sounds aggressive, it's a reflection of a conversation I've been having with myself recently which has left me questioning principles like this that I have until recently held as sacred.
@@jakelesnake4927 Jake, Giving you a mask is not the same as a person who is homeless and has to wear a mask to be able to go into a building. I always ask permission from the people that I am reaching out to. You can smile through your eyes and your actions... People can see that you are sending love and kindness, understanding and compassion by your energies and your actions. The wave of a hand, a kind word spoken , and a beautiful handmade mask , a can of food and a can opener, and gentleness for another person who is feeling lost, helpless and scorned for just being in the streets of our country . Homelessness is not the choice that some people believe that it is. People are all essential for the world to become a place where you and all of us are treated with respect, compassion, care, and dignity. I am sorry for your pain and your feelings about reaching out with the love of kindness and attempting to show another person that they are loved and cared about. If we were so judgmental and withdrawing that we would not want to be present in the simple process of humane behavior this would be a very miserable situation. I garden and one of my greatest joys is sharing with others, produce, seeds, flowers,and divided plants. Living with a generosity of spirit. I can't judge you and obviously you are very sure of how you feel about me and how I am living with love for others. So, the diversity of people is a precious thing to respect and being unique in our energies is very important for us to understand and learn from our sharing of our views. Thanks for your comment and enjoy.
Many of these spoken qualities I find incorporated in me on a natural basis. Being nice and kind is quite easy for me. I’ve also been taken advantage of, terribly. An uneasy feeling, to say the least. Sometimes I think of earthly existence as a karmic pit stop, picking up where we left off previously, to continue on the spiral upwards or downwards as we deserve. Nobody said this would be easy. The physical, emotional and mental realms, I must admit, demand challenge. Attention and awareness seems to be of paramount importance.
Such a beautiful soul. Literally seen something that really disturbed me! I give thanks for this message. It really helped me return to balance! Much love and blessings to you!
The argumentation in this lecture that we should find purpose in life by helping, uplifting or inspiring others is very interesting and I agree to some extent. However, from my own personal experience inspiring others is only possible after we have found inner peace ourselves. For example, if you have problems in your relationship or if you are unhappy about your professional carreer, it is much easier to engage in all sorts of volunteer activities than in tackling your own problems. I know that many people who do this, they feel great about helping others, but actually they would need help themselves. Being alone and being forced to be with nobody else but your tiny little self is a much bigger challenge than finding distraction while helping others. My advice therefore is: be happy with yourself before giving help to others! An exception are of course people who are struggling with every day life, when their lives consist in nothing else but working day and night to earn enough money for their families, how can they even think about sharing anything with other people? Nevertheless, regardless of how rich or poor we are or regardless of how many problems we have ourselves, all of us should be observant, as stated so well here. Each one of us can walk through life with open eyes and with an awareness about other people, nature or whatever this world needs. In this way each one of us can contribte in a tiny way to make this world a better place, I full agree!
It is not a hard thing to say hello, smile, wave and acknowledge another person. You may be the only person who is willing to give a kindness by recognizing another person who is alone and despondent. Taking care of your life and your family and the needs of your life are very important for us all together as a nation of being whole and sane. Empathy is an important part of our living with kindness and love and understanding that we have the power to help us all by the simple action of a kind word or gesture, it costs you nothing, yet it can be the best gift you ever gave.Enjoy.
Am a new sub and am really enjoying engaging with everyone. I came across your chanel at a time where I'm wanting to reconnect with myself. It all just seems to make sense on the right days and at the right time either for me or for me to send to mates that are going through stuff. Thank you👊💛💚💛
@@betterapproachtolife.motiv3265 I didn't expect you to reply. Thank you. Yea it's something that I have to remember and share. Bright blessings and enjoy your day. I'm in the UK so probably different time zones
Hi am an old Dom! 😂 Sorry couldn’t resist it! It’s amazing when Mother Earth send you a relevant message just when you need it most. For me I have suffered a lot of self inflicted frustration and pain to reach a place of reception, going with the flow and keeping it within the day. To stop taking others to your view on board and value my time and my own self worth which was buried so far deep down, much from childhood. Today I am comfortable in my own skin and have so much gratitude. It sounds like you are following your own path. Bright Blessings,of joy and happiness my fellow traveller.
As we stand to be judged, regrets will flow like water. Each day is an opportunity to live well. Not materialistically, but with growth of soul, which will tenderize our heart.
You're a beautiful person, thank you. When I get down on myself or confused, you always have a video that brings me back up to a place of action and direction. This year especially, it's easy to lay down and wallow in "poor me-ness" but your videos are like an outstretched arm that help me out of the mud. I then take that appreciation into the world and it naturally spreads. I like thinking of this happening with others who watch your videos. It's contagious and I'm happily infected😊Thanks again
I'm a physics student currently just 2 semesters away from my graduation, I joined university back in 2016 my choice for physics wasn't random, I had real passion for it & wanted to pursue a path in academic research, but my experience with my university & the education system in general have effectively killed that passion and now I'm stuck trying to force myself to study a subject I'm no longer interested in just to get a degree I don't care about I've spent 7 years of my life working on myself & learning all kinds of things, I'm passionate about learning & I spend most of my day on educational content but learning by itself is not a specialty, I know a lot of stuff but I'm not an expert of any sort, I'm not limited by any conditions but at the same time I'm not driven towards anything, & not driven by money or any materialistic gains, I don't feel lost in life, just lost in human society, I don't know what I'm going to be, but I know what I what to do. I want to learn I want to teach I want to help but I find myself going back to the question : How can I put my knowledge and learning skills into good use ? but not in the sense of "what's my purpose ?" instead it's more like "where do I fit in this world ?" most of what I know are not practical skills, just theoretical concepts I feel more like a philosopher but I'm not sure if there's a place for them anymore I can definitely get myself a job and settle for whatever, & that would be a total waste the only field I find myself fitting in is being an academic, but because of this scarred experience with university, I started to doubt that going to a different university would change anything or even make use of my passion for learning
So it's been a year since I've watched this and it just came up in my recommendations. A lot has changed and just this weekend I have helped out two of my friends with practical and spiritual ways. Serving my purpose. I'm in such a better place with my cup nearly full, feeling the most content than I have in about 10 years. I re read the celestine prophesy this year which also helped remind me of my inner strength and power. I didn't realise how much watching this changed my life. Thank you for sharing the wisdom and insight into the world. Abundance of blessings and hugs 💫💜💫
You made me cry ... I'm 46 years old.. not married no children... had the experiences with narcissist predators and etc. Am now a school teacher trying to make a living. Did counselling for many years to undo all the knots and trying to be a better role model than what I had as a young person. Thank you for your lucidity. PS am reading "psychology and religion" by CG Jung. It's very interesting. And for the 'haters' - I keep this out of the classroom - it's straight curriculum - as if that wasn't bad enough !
Wow. I simply had to pause the video halfway through and call my mother to tell her that I love her and will always be there for her. I often feel inspired to do so, but just as often, I push that inclination aside... Glad I did it this time! Once again, thanks for your amazing content.
Your life's purpose is whatever you want it to be because ultimately there is no purpose. Most people might find this idea scary or depressing but it is actually incredibly liberating. The universe won't judge you no matter what you paint. That is why life is amazing! You have been given a blank canvas on which to paint. So create what you will and have fun painting everyone.
I rarely comment (maybe we've all said this before... is it true?) I'll rephrase; (perspective) I don't believe that I comment very often on UA-cam videos. But, I feel that I gain much from your channel, Awaken Insight and your talks. Therefore, I feel inspired to express my gratitude to you.🙏 Not only do I gain insight while listening to you, but your calm voice has the ability to put me into a unique and... umm... regenerative? type meditation, if I allow. I feel myself changing in a spiritually positive way, I see it, and it's so obvious to me that I'm becoming different. Unfortunate circumstances thrust me into spirituality, so the unfortunate is actually fortunate in this case - but I have much work to do. I didn't find spirituality, it it found me. Two years ago it abruptly changed my life to a point where I felt cornered, saw no light, and wanted all of it to be over. My parents tried and they did help, but I didn't want them to give me their Christianity... not their version or any other at the time, I was tired of it. I was hurt and what I knew of the Christianity I grew up in, well it didn't work for me. My dad was a minister, but for as long as I can remember, I always questioned Christianity (to myself only). I was born into something that didn't feel right, didn't feel totally true. Besides, it was often very restrictive and down right mean for reasons known and unknown that frustrated me - it made no sense! I was a kid and I knew something wasn't right. What the hell were the adults doing? Christianity (as most Christians that I know practice it) never, ever felt right to me. Not even once, for a moment. My family would look at me like an alien if they heard me say this. Anyway, I can feel myself changing all the time. I can tell because I notice what's around me more often. Especially, it seems, where people and nature are concerned (sounds cliché to me too). I like it, the changing, I love all of it. But I'm also full of a lot of pain and hurt and regret and anger (yes, I know all of us are). I'm still confused and feel lost more often that I want (so... stop the desire then) It's that's easy is it? I'm learning to accept the Whole (pain included) but I wish I had someone on one teaching at times? Someone to go and see for help when necessary. Or a place where others come together and meet. At least, initially I guess? I know that ultimately, for each of us, our search is our own. No one else can make the journey for you. Maybe I overthink it sometimes? I'm working on that too... you know letting my thoughts just do their thing on occasion and attempting to sit back, observe and watch without necessarily reacting... tough at times. It's a process, I guess..? (Okay, I'm talking to myself here...) Back on topic; It's noticeable that I have way fewer desires and different desires. I don't really care to do many of things that I use to love, like watching television and movies (a minor example... I think?) I don't know? It's not a bad thing, but I really am becoming different. It is kinda weird... in a good way. I don't have much in common with the few people that I personally know anymore and... I often have so much I want to share, so much that I'm learning and feeling and experiencing. I have to be careful though, people may not want to hear. But I so want to share it with all? Is it Love? Is it... I don't know? It's always been there, but now I'm noticing it more? Feeling it more often? I'm just not sure... It wants to burst from within me at times (at least it seems), but I have no clue how to let it happen or make it happen, or maybe I should sit back and wait? But my life up to now has been one of ignorance, procrastination, wrong thinking (which I guess is ignorance), and waiting? Was I just waiting to die? If so, it was a lie that I unknowingly told myself. I don't want to die, I want to live and experience this life to the fullest... whatever that means for me? I want to give to others. I want to be necessary, but I want to be necessary in a way that I can always help others. Obviously, I feel better.., we all feel better, and we're better human beings when we can be of service to those who truly need us... and all the others too. Next time I'll try not to rant so much or so long. Thank you again! You are greatly appreciated. I'm not the only one who often feels lost, I know. You are a bright beacon of True Light. 🙏🙏🙏
Whilst I know you mean well, I watch a lot of the channel Invisible People here on UA-cam and that often doesn't help too much as everyone assumes they need food! (I can try and link you to some videos if you would like!) Try asking them if they could use another pair of socks as well as the offer for food/drink, they will appreciate that so much! Much love to you, keep being a beautiful person!
Fall in alignment with nature and the side effects of that is abundance on all levels. Nature is in service to creation in someway and everything has a purpose in nature. You're Nature and within this knowledge you will begin to reveal life's most mysterious question. Why am I here and what is my purpose. Thanks for your light brother! God bless 🙏 🙌 ❤
Thank you so much this has helped me tremendously. I’ve been struggling so much in feeling worthless and useless and unimportant. Struggling to find a path where I can shine out of a desire to be useful and to be fulfilled and to be happy and make others happy and proud of me. But I see now that my error was thinking I couldn’t start that journey right here and now. And also thinking that I had to already be successful. That there wasn’t things I could do now. I’ve felt stuck and hopeless for some time. I’ve tried many different changes but I can’t seem to escape it. This feeling of emptiness and sadness like u describe a void im trying to fill. You’ve shifted my perspective and I feel so much anxiety and fear and demotivation leaving me just as I sit here and think of the little things I can do right now to help and uplift the environment I’m in right now. Things that I can do for those closest to me even when they hurt me. My solution was always to run away from everyone and everything. But this also created a feeling of weakness and inability to accomplish things. I see now that In doing little things to improve the world and the people around me and choosing to not let feelings of unimportance or need for validation control me, I can reach a state of fulfillment in myself that will empower me to make bigger steps eventually. Thank you… you have made a huge impact on me since I’ve started listening to your videos a few months ago when I started my spiritual journey, I’m very grateful 🥹
Your philosophical discussions are great brain food. The local 70 lb. homeless lady gets a $20 dollar bill from me when I can afford it. Compassion & empathy are viewed as "weaknesses," by most. Since my self worth is not contingent on peer approval, I am not frightened to be of service. The desensitized & glib actions of many I do not relate to.
My theory about this life purpose stuff is we've been brainwashed by movies since we were children. We keep waiting for our own movie plot to start without realizing life doesn't work that way. We try to make it happen usually with disastrous results. For most of history the purpose in life was to just survive and that was enough to keep you busy. Since the survival issue isn't so pressing anymore, trying to make the world a better place is always a noble effort. Not an easy thing to do though...after all, White Nationalists and whacked out cult members think they're working towards making the world a better place. So I guess it's a razor's edge...lol (one of my favorite "meaning of life' books)
I just found you. on UA-cam. Thank you for these amazing videos. Just finished watching "Are you destined to Spend your life alone?" and felt peace hearing your voice.
Be kind, help others as much as you can, love yourself, treat others like you would like to be treated. If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. Leave them alone, let them go, let them live life. Most homeless people are like you they just don't have a home. Most of the time you can learn an important something from everyone. I had a friend whose landlord sold her rent house now she has no home, simple as that. Homes are sometimes hard to find with two trained very nice small pets. Why should she give up her kids because of that. God knows all. Peace💖💙💖🙉🙈🙊
When authenticity is so lacking in the monetary aspect of life, sincere human interaction is of the utmost importance. Thank you for sharing Brother, Namaste 🙏🏼
You are so right Nada, what you have reminded me through the analysis of this question, is that this is all about keeping tapped into source, which is me which is you, which is LOVE... I am also reminded about how total acceptance of myself and my situation coupled with my own sense of God consciousness, opens me up to so much more... This is not always easy, my first response is often to resist when I find myself disturbed but Im working on it. Thanks🌾🌟🌾
As I'm nearing the end of my college journey, finding my purpose has never been more prevalent. Thank you for always bringing me back to what should matter.
What a beautiful insightful video this is! I really admire your perspective and am so inspired by you! You are such a light to this world and are making a such a positive impact on your journey. Thank you for sharing 💙
When we work we are in the service of others so do what you enjoy and freely put all of yourself into it and you will never work a day in your life. When we help others to get what they want, we get what we want in return.
I just wanted to say im really glad I came across your channel. Thank you for your knowledge. It literally feels like you open a new door in my mind every video
Give and expect nothing in return. I think we all have to sort ourselves out in order to serve others. I say serve others. You've still got to watch out where you put your energies. Put them where they are deserved to avoid getting overwhelmed and burnt out. Just try and deal with what's in front of you. Every good deed effects the larger picture in some way. Your heart will guide you well. Only just discovered your videos and I love them
I don't know who you are but I love you🙏 I have been searching for my 'purpose' these past few weeks...and I just came across this. Your video has changed my outlook.. 'We don't have to try and figure anything out we just have to pay attention' So inspiring. Thank you
As someone who has also discovered the same principles espoused here, and proven their worth and veracity, this guy knows what he’s talking about. Sure, they are only words, whereas the doing is difficult and challenging. BUT at least you made it this far, and are in the right place. The rest is up to you.
So true, I try and live my life in this way. But it is very hard ti be kind and forgiving to folk who are mean to you. Every day I try and I have a lot of success. So, even if I don't have a great deal in material wealth I am still successful in being kind and respectful to others
I just had an ego death and I appreciate this. This is biblical. I don’t need to die I can experience the beauty of this life. I don’t know how to approach life anymore but I know I’ll enjoy it! Plan to listen to this a lot just for a regrounding. I request your prayers if you are Christian anyone who is reading this 🍲
I've often given to homeless people and never been disgusted by them or thought they're dirty. I stopped giving in my city however because I realised they collect the same benefits as everybody else, they collect even more in many instances as they have accommodation and other benefits provided that your average person on benefits doesn't. Most of the 'homeless' in my town aren't even likely homeless and are only weaponising your own compassion against you so they can score something, alcohol, heroin etc. Compassion is soon replaced with irritation once you realise this.
The System has taken advantage of the homeless Situation, by collecting Money by propagandizing, the people by saying Don't give your money to homeless people, give to a shelter program!! I was once homeless for three months, and I experienced the system/ Shelters myself and seen what they Do and sadly it's a joke!! Don't feed into the Deception!! Give out of your heart !! If God leads you to do So!!
Good morning Brother Nada 🖐️. This message is so spot on 💥 word for word 👍. Letting my feelings take its course will help me grow and set boundaries 😊. Thanks again and have a blessed day 😇.
You are on fire bro! This came just as I pushed back against an oppressive business property landlord who's been causing distress for tenants for years. I decided after a wrestless nights sleep to fight back, to stand up for myself and others who are in this situation. You are bringing light into the darkness with your insights xx
I had paranormal experiences when i was young which gave me a meaning , it was the greatest thing that ever happened to me , but it is also a burden , i became obsessed by morality and whether i was worthy of such a profound experience , and also the fact that people don't believe you which makes it very hard , but i think you need to find something that suits your nature , and with that you can develop to help yourself to help others if you want , maybe then you can find happiness because you are doing things your supposed to be doing .
Hello, Your speech was very inspirational. I loved it. There is only one thing that concerns me. How can someone just stop thinking about his self-importance? If someone has a very low self- esteem then they are strongly focused on such things. Perhaps even too much. It’s not that simple just to let go and concentrate entirely on other people. I think that there is always a deep desire to be important, valued, praised by others. It’s so deeply rooted in our nature that’s it seems impossible to get rid of it.
Lot of very important work that people would do is not appreciated or paid. And often, when you start with noble goal and strategy, you stumble on the interest of powerful and dangerous people.
SURE, BECAUSE WE ALL SUFFER IN ONE way or another.. But experience is sometimes necessary, I've Bein homeless.. THERE FORE I CAN PUT MYSELF IN THERE SHOES MORE SO.. ITS THE LI[TLE THINGS THAT MATTER.. don't be afraid to put urself out there. GOD BLESS.
This video schooled me. For decades I have wondered, "What is my purpose?" Only you have shown me the selfishness of that question. Now I can ask, "What does the world need from me?" -- which is, strangely, a much easier question to answer! Love you. Appreciate you so much.
Wow this was a beautiful discussion brother. Yes, it's all about service. And this manifests differently in each person's life. Everyone has their own unique Dharma, which helps the world in some way.
I appreciate the direction you took with this question on purpose, a direction which reminded me of one of my favorite quotes "“We do not ask life what the meaning of life is. Life asks us, what is the meaning of your life. And life demands our answer.” ― Viktor E. Frankl
This really moved me, as I'm sure it has many others. I keep coming back to this video, drawn to its message. It's a difficult one to put into practice, as so much fear of rejection or invalidation prevents us from offering our compassion freely and openly. But that's part of the journey, isn't it? Even if our compassion is rejected, the message of this video reminds us to put aside that self-serving emotion in the most gentle way possible, so that we might continue to be of service to others. Shifting our focus from "what can I get from this?" to "what can I give?" helps to dissolve so many boundaries, internally and externally. Thank you, Awaken Insight - your gift of this video has been a catalyst for change in me. By touching one life, you have touched many.
Thank you very much 🙏 I always listen to your videos whenever I feel stressed, sad, and hopeless. I always feel better and calm after watching your videos. Thank you for giving me a hope ❤️🌟
I find value in the content of this video and, thus far, in the content of all the videos on this channel. Each time I receive the wisdom shared here, it awakens the same within me; not only the words touch me, but the energy they hold of kindness, respect, a profound acceptance of what is. Thank you for the spiritual nourishment of my soul. 🙇

I am an almost 73 year old woman and came upon you recently by accident and I love your ability to articulate and your eloquence. After spending all my life caring for others I now have the freedom to get back on the path I started many years when I learned much of what is represented in your videos but was distracted from as life got in the way. I have suffered many personal losses and more tragedies than most, the last one being more difficult to get over and move on. This video has caused me to reflect more and gives me purpose in moving forward on my journey. Having spent considerable amount of time and money with therapists, etc who wanted me to pigeon hole my beliefs into one specifically instead of relying upon different philosophies to gain knowledge. You have allowed me that freedom to be who I am. Thank you and love.
I hope your journey is fulfilling and you find peace within
My purpose in life is to share with others the best parts of me and to serve humanity in any way shape or form that I can
I have similar goal .. lift each other up
We ascend by lifting others

SOCIETY has high jacked the minds of the masses into beLIEving that the need to be competitive, be a Doctor, or a Lawyer, or whatever is why they’re here. Absolutely nothing about Human kindness and allowing your spirit to move you in a direction that speaks to your soul.....It’s all about EGO tripping, nothing about Love.✌🏾
Who is society?
@@Msibme look around you
Not society, but capitalism, as it creates the need for material we really don’t need, and placing (a Protestant) value on accumulating things which supposed to make us happy. But it’s an illusion. As we accumulate these things we don’t find happiness, we find ourselves unhappy, as things, beyond the basics to live don’t fulfill our need for survival and detract us from our real purpose, to be with another, to ensure the survival of our species. That’s the origin of society. We need each other for survival, that’s our purpose. The more we distance ourselves from our purpose the miserable we feel, no matter how much money and things we have.
@@001101011010 Hmmm ... maybe one step further ... social conditioning ... social institutions ... school, church, government, ect ... formed to "control" us. Through these institutions we are manipulated with group think ideas because we think everyone else thinks this or that way ...LIKE SHEEP. For me being 'WOKE'" is thinking for ourselves... making our own choices. LOL I am not foolish enough to think that is all there is to it AND I am seeing the conditioning is DEEP. But with each discovery I become more me.
@@Msibme yes, these institutions and groups intertwine with ideology (capitalism) and work together to maintain an illusion of control, power, and self realization, when the only place we can find power, control, and self realization is by looking within ourselves.

There was a time in my life when I didn't go to a job and work but stayed home unpacked all the trauma that I had been carrying (for many lifetimes) I learned to be still, I learned to listen deeply, I asked deep questions, I saw god in the flowers and the rustling grass as the breeze would flow past & my heart sang with joy to be alive. I felt this was enough, I needed no more. In my mind, this was a gift to humanity. One less depressed anxious soul wandering around the earth plane.
However, you cannot get paid just to be you, alone out in a field in bliss, no need for anyone or anything.
So back to work, I was forced, back to a frantic fast-paced world where everyone is miserable & wishes they could be elsewhere...sound like me now :(

"It's not the responsibility of any one person to fix the world. It is all of our responsibility collectively"
I resonate with most of what you say, but this statement I beg to differ with. I would say we have 0% responsibility to the world and 100% responsibility to our own awakening. We are not here to try and fix the world. The world can never be fixed. We are simply here to wake up.
You make a valid point. ...a poor choice of words on my part perhaps.. in retrospect, I could have expressed it much differently. Thank you for that additional perspective. Blessings!
True, but strange enough, the opposite is also true, so, changing yourself is also changing the whole world, as the truth is the world is created through you, the soul.
@@argosron9838 Ohhh Maybe responsibility for our ourselves makes up the world. I guess you see many blaming others for the consequences of their actions, scale that up and you've got corruption.

If we take that idea all the way then clearing your mind clears the entire cosmos. The physical is nothing more than a projection of consciousness. That is why our one responsibility is the mind 🙏
I agree...the world owes me nothing and I owe the world nothing..I owe myself the opportunity to become what I can be.
I realized my gift to share about 8 years ago, I started teaching my Yoga for free in my community and beyond, 8 years later I am still sharing with love, I have reached 100s of people, and just recently I was invited to teach to the Devon and Cornwall police in England, spreading the love is my Dharma in this lifetime. And during this lockdown I am doing a free hour Facebook live yoga session,

look after each other, and take care of nature.
To be present in my life and to be kind and loving with honesty .
Love and a desire that I do no harm and my joy is when I am able to honor the people who are overlooked, homeless or looking sad and downtrodden.
Making beautiful cotton masks and giving them to the people who are in the streets and they have no help or protection. I bought army surplus can openers...P38s. They are tiny and easy to use. Then they can open food cans that I give to them. I don't risk my health , social distancing and I always thank people for allowing me to be able to help in a small way. Just decency and a reverence for people who are not cared for.
Eventhough I am not wealthy and I could be in the same place as a homeless person. We are one ❤
You can be generous without wealth ... it is an attitude .. which stems from being grateful for what you have
@@betterapproachtolife.motiv3265 I certainly agree with you.
I was saying that very thing by doing what I do regardless of my monetary situation.
Generously is not about money. Gratitude for the ability to be able to help others in kindness and doing something for others is an important aspect of living life with loving kindness and thinking of ways to make things easier and better for all of us.
I was just pointing out that I don't have wealth to do things for others and yet it is possible to make a difference in even small ways that helps a little bit to help people out.
I always thank people for allowing me to do things for them... I truly appreciate the honor of the opportunity to connect with love and care.
Maybe I didn't tell my intention is respect and nurturing.
Sometimes it takes a smile and a hello to make a difference in the life of someone. Enjoy and I am content with my own financial life and how I find things to do for the love of being able to make a difference.
@@parry3231 i love our thinking ... and you are doing it ... it is inspiring .. i am not motivated by Money at all ..
Giving people masks is a good demonstration of the relativism of serving others. I wear a mask because I feel enormous social pressure to do so, but I hate them and think they are seriously removing the humanity from the world. The ability to just smile at someone to show you understand their struggle is a million times more important than protection from a virus in my estimation. If someone gave me a mask I would not be at all grateful, I would despise it and not feel one with anyone that gave it to me. I say this only because I feel this is actually deep down what people often feel about generosity, and I'm really changing my whole outlook on life, which has for many many years been in line with your comment and the video. I'm taking the view that the best thing is just to tend your own garden, and that really means keeping well within it's borders. People that are very sure they are doing other people good by their actions are in many ways the most dangerous in society as they feel moral authority to do whatever necessary to achieve the good they are imposing. The suicide bomber feels they are doing their victims and humanity as a whole a favour by ending the lives of people they feel have become spiritually degenerate. I appreciate this is a long way from giving people can openers, and apologies if this sounds aggressive, it's a reflection of a conversation I've been having with myself recently which has left me questioning principles like this that I have until recently held as sacred.
@@jakelesnake4927 Jake,
Giving you a mask is not the same as a person who is homeless and has to wear a mask to be able to go into a building.
I always ask permission from the people that I am reaching out to.
You can smile through your eyes and your actions... People can see that you are sending love and kindness, understanding and compassion by your energies and your actions.
The wave of a hand, a kind word spoken , and a beautiful handmade mask , a can of food and a can opener, and gentleness for another person who is feeling lost, helpless and scorned for just being in the streets of our country .
Homelessness is not the choice that some people believe that it is.
People are all essential for the world to become a place where you and all of us are treated with respect, compassion, care, and dignity. I am sorry for your pain and your feelings about reaching out with the love of kindness and attempting to show another person that they are loved and cared about. If we were so judgmental and withdrawing that we would not want to be present in the simple process of humane behavior this would be a very miserable situation.
I garden and one of my greatest joys is sharing with others, produce, seeds, flowers,and divided plants. Living with a generosity of spirit.
I can't judge you and obviously you are very sure of how you feel about me and how I am living with love for others. So, the diversity of people is a precious thing to respect and being unique in our energies is very important for us to understand and learn from our sharing of our views.
Thanks for your comment and enjoy.
Many of these spoken qualities I find incorporated in me on a natural basis. Being nice and kind is quite easy for me. I’ve also been taken advantage of, terribly. An uneasy feeling, to say the least. Sometimes I think of earthly existence as a karmic pit stop, picking up where we left off previously, to continue on the spiral upwards or downwards as we deserve. Nobody said this would be easy. The physical, emotional and mental realms, I must admit, demand challenge. Attention and awareness seems to be of paramount importance.
Such a beautiful soul. Literally seen something that really disturbed me! I give thanks for this message. It really helped me return to balance! Much love and blessings to you!
Stay strong 💛💚💛
The argumentation in this lecture that we should find purpose in life by helping, uplifting or inspiring others is very interesting and I agree to some extent. However, from my own personal experience inspiring others is only possible after we have found inner peace ourselves. For example, if you have problems in your relationship or if you are unhappy about your professional carreer, it is much easier to engage in all sorts of volunteer activities than in tackling your own problems. I know that many people who do this, they feel great about helping others, but actually they would need help themselves. Being alone and being forced to be with nobody else but your tiny little self is a much bigger challenge than finding distraction while helping others. My advice therefore is: be happy with yourself before giving help to others!
An exception are of course people who are struggling with every day life, when their lives consist in nothing else but working day and night to earn enough money for their families, how can they even think about sharing anything with other people?
Nevertheless, regardless of how rich or poor we are or regardless of how many problems we have ourselves, all of us should be observant, as stated so well here. Each one of us can walk through life with open eyes and with an awareness about other people, nature or whatever this world needs. In this way each one of us can contribte in a tiny way to make this world a better place, I full agree!
Thank you for sharing that additional perspective. You make a very good point. Blessings to you!
It is not a hard thing to say hello, smile, wave and acknowledge another person. You may be the only person who is willing to give a kindness by recognizing another person who is alone and despondent.
Taking care of your life and your family and the needs of your life are very important for us all together as a nation of being whole and sane.
Empathy is an important part of our living with kindness and love and understanding that we have the power to help us all by the simple action of a kind word or gesture, it costs you nothing, yet it can be the best gift you ever gave.Enjoy.
Thank you 🙏 you’re Appreciated.

You're a beautiful person, thank you. When I get down on myself or confused, you always have a video that brings me back up to a place of action and direction.

I'm a physics student currently just 2 semesters away from my graduation, I joined university back in 2016 my choice for physics wasn't random, I had real passion for it & wanted to pursue a path in academic research, but my experience with my university & the education system in general have effectively killed that passion and now I'm stuck trying to force myself to study a subject I'm no longer interested in just to get a degree I don't care about
I've spent 7 years of my life working on myself & learning all kinds of things, I'm passionate about learning & I spend most of my day on educational content but learning by itself is not a specialty, I know a lot of stuff but I'm not an expert of any sort, I'm not limited by any conditions but at the same time I'm not driven towards anything, & not driven by money or any materialistic gains, I don't feel lost in life, just lost in human society, I don't know what I'm going to be, but I know what I what to do.
I want to learn
I want to teach
I want to help
but I find myself going back to the question :
How can I put my knowledge and learning skills into good use ?
but not in the sense of "what's my purpose ?"
instead it's more like "where do I fit in this world ?"
most of what I know are not practical skills, just theoretical concepts I feel more like a philosopher but I'm not sure if there's a place for them anymore
I can definitely get myself a job and settle for whatever, & that would be a total waste
the only field I find myself fitting in is being an academic, but because of this scarred experience with university, I started to doubt that going to a different university would change anything or even make use of my passion for learning
every morning I end my meditation by saying "I am open to your guidance" to the Universe :) Thank you for your insight :) You are awesome!
So it's been a year since I've watched this and it just came up in my recommendations.
A lot has changed and just this weekend I have helped out two of my friends with practical and spiritual ways.
Serving my purpose. I'm in such a better place with my cup nearly full, feeling the most content than I have in about 10 years.

You made me cry ... I'm 46 years old.. not married no children... had the experiences with narcissist predators and etc. Am now a school teacher trying to make a living.

Wow. I simply had to pause the video halfway through and call my mother to tell her that I love her and will always be there for her. I often feel inspired to do so, but just as often, I push that inclination aside... Glad I did it this time! Once again, thanks for your amazing content.

Your life's purpose is whatever you want it to be because ultimately there is no purpose. Most people might find this idea scary or depressing but it is actually incredibly liberating. The universe won't judge you no matter what you paint. That is why life is amazing! You have been given a blank canvas on which to paint. So create what you will and have fun painting everyone.
I genuinely love your videos. Your voice is calm and welcoming. Thank you!
"Love and be loved, all else is folly" - Tolstoy
I rarely comment (maybe we've all said this before... is it true?) I'll rephrase; (perspective) I don't believe that I comment very often on UA-cam videos. But, I feel that I gain much from your channel, Awaken Insight and your talks. Therefore, I feel inspired to express my gratitude to you.🙏 Not only do I gain insight while listening to you, but your calm voice has the ability to put me into a unique and... umm... regenerative? type meditation, if I allow. I feel myself changing in a spiritually positive way, I see it, and it's so obvious to me that I'm becoming different.
Unfortunate circumstances thrust me into spirituality, so the unfortunate is actually fortunate in this case - but I have much work to do. I didn't find spirituality, it it found me. Two years ago it abruptly changed my life to a point where I felt cornered, saw no light, and wanted all of it to be over. My parents tried and they did help, but I didn't want them to give me their Christianity... not their version or any other at the time, I was tired of it. I was hurt and what I knew of the Christianity I grew up in, well it didn't work for me. My dad was a minister, but for as long as I can remember, I always questioned Christianity (to myself only). I was born into something that didn't feel right, didn't feel totally true. Besides, it was often very restrictive and down right mean for reasons known and unknown that frustrated me - it made no sense! I was a kid and I knew something wasn't right. What the hell were the adults doing? Christianity (as most Christians that I know practice it) never, ever felt right to me. Not even once, for a moment. My family would look at me like an alien if they heard me say this.
Anyway, I can feel myself changing all the time. I can tell because I notice what's around me more often. Especially, it seems, where people and nature are concerned (sounds cliché to me too). I like it, the changing, I love all of it. But I'm also full of a lot of pain and hurt and regret and anger (yes, I know all of us are). I'm still confused and feel lost more often that I want (so... stop the desire then) It's that's easy is it? I'm learning to accept the Whole (pain included) but I wish I had someone on one teaching at times? Someone to go and see for help when necessary. Or a place where others come together and meet. At least, initially I guess? I know that ultimately, for each of us, our search is our own. No one else can make the journey for you. Maybe I overthink it sometimes? I'm working on that too... you know letting my thoughts just do their thing on occasion and attempting to sit back, observe and watch without necessarily reacting... tough at times. It's a process, I guess..? (Okay, I'm talking to myself here...)
Back on topic; It's noticeable that I have way fewer desires and different desires. I don't really care to do many of things that I use to love, like watching television and movies (a minor example... I think?) I don't know? It's not a bad thing, but I really am becoming different. It is kinda weird... in a good way. I don't have much in common with the few people that I personally know anymore and... I often have so much I want to share, so much that I'm learning and feeling and experiencing. I have to be careful though, people may not want to hear. But I so want to share it with all? Is it Love? Is it... I don't know? It's always been there, but now I'm noticing it more? Feeling it more often? I'm just not sure... It wants to burst from within me at times (at least it seems), but I have no clue how to let it happen or make it happen, or maybe I should sit back and wait? But my life up to now has been one of ignorance, procrastination, wrong thinking (which I guess is ignorance), and waiting? Was I just waiting to die? If so, it was a lie that I unknowingly told myself. I don't want to die, I want to live and experience this life to the fullest... whatever that means for me? I want to give to others. I want to be necessary, but I want to be necessary in a way that I can always help others. Obviously, I feel better.., we all feel better, and we're better human beings when we can be of service to those who truly need us... and all the others too. Next time I'll try not to rant so much or so long. Thank you again! You are greatly appreciated. I'm not the only one who often feels lost, I know. You are a bright beacon of True Light. 🙏🙏🙏
Man I needed to hear this today. Thank you from the bottom of my being 🙏🏼
In winter time when I see someone begging for money outside a shop I ask them if I can buy them a hot drink or food.
Whilst I know you mean well, I watch a lot of the channel Invisible People here on UA-cam and that often doesn't help too much as everyone assumes they need food! (I can try and link you to some videos if you would like!) Try asking them if they could use another pair of socks as well as the offer for food/drink, they will appreciate that so much! Much love to you, keep being a beautiful person!
Fall in alignment with nature and the side effects of that is abundance on all levels.
Nature is in service to creation in someway and everything has a purpose in nature. You're Nature and within this knowledge you will begin to reveal life's most mysterious question. Why am I here and what is my purpose.
Thanks for your light brother! God bless 🙏 🙌 ❤
Welcome back!! Thank you for sharing this 💚
Thank you so much this has helped me tremendously. I’ve been struggling so much in feeling worthless and useless and unimportant. Struggling to find a path where I can shine out of a desire to be useful and to be fulfilled and to be happy and make others happy and proud of me. But I see now that my error was thinking I couldn’t start that journey right here and now. And also thinking that I had to already be successful. That there wasn’t things I could do now. I’ve felt stuck and hopeless for some time. I’ve tried many different changes but I can’t seem to escape it. This feeling of emptiness and sadness like u describe a void im trying to fill. You’ve shifted my perspective and I feel so much anxiety and fear and demotivation leaving me just as I sit here and think of the little things I can do right now to help and uplift the environment I’m in right now. Things that I can do for those closest to me even when they hurt me. My solution was always to run away from everyone and everything. But this also created a feeling of weakness and inability to accomplish things. I see now that In doing little things to improve the world and the people around me and choosing to not let feelings of unimportance or need for validation control me, I can reach a state of fulfillment in myself that will empower me to make bigger steps eventually. Thank you… you have made a huge impact on me since I’ve started listening to your videos a few months ago when I started my spiritual journey, I’m very grateful 🥹
Your philosophical discussions are great brain food. The local 70 lb. homeless lady gets a $20 dollar bill from me when I can afford it. Compassion & empathy are viewed as "weaknesses," by most. Since my self worth is not contingent on peer approval, I am not frightened to be of service. The desensitized & glib actions of many I do not relate to.
My theory about this life purpose stuff is we've been brainwashed by movies since we were children. We keep waiting for our own movie plot to start without realizing life doesn't work that way. We try to make it happen usually with disastrous results. For most of history the purpose in life was to just survive and that was enough to keep you busy. Since the survival issue isn't so pressing anymore, trying to make the world a better place is always a noble effort. Not an easy thing to do though...after all, White Nationalists and whacked out cult members think they're working towards making the world a better place. So I guess it's a razor's edge...lol (one of my favorite "meaning of life' books)
Hate comes from within yourself and your looking for someone to take it from you but you can let it go
I just found you. on UA-cam. Thank you for these amazing videos. Just finished watching "Are you destined to Spend your life alone?" and felt peace hearing your voice.
Sending you peace love and happiness xx you always answer my questions.. Xx
Be kind, help others as much as you can, love yourself, treat others like you would like to be treated. If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. Leave them alone, let them go, let them live life. Most homeless people are like you they just don't have a home. Most of the time you can learn an important something from everyone. I had a friend whose landlord sold her rent house now she has no home, simple as that. Homes are sometimes hard to find with two trained very nice small pets. Why should she give up her kids because of that. God knows all. Peace💖💙💖🙉🙈🙊
When authenticity is so lacking in the monetary aspect of life, sincere human interaction is of the utmost importance. Thank you for sharing Brother, Namaste 🙏🏼
You are so right Nada, what you have reminded me through the analysis of this question, is that this is all about keeping tapped into source, which is me which is you, which is LOVE... I am also reminded about how total acceptance of myself and my situation coupled with my own sense of God consciousness, opens me up to so much more... This is not always easy, my first response is often to resist when I find myself disturbed but Im working on it. Thanks🌾🌟🌾
As I'm nearing the end of my college journey, finding my purpose has never been more prevalent. Thank you for always bringing me back to what should matter.
What a beautiful insightful video this is! I really admire your perspective and am so inspired by you! You are such a light to this world and are making a such a positive impact on your journey. Thank you for sharing 💙
When we work we are in the service of others so do what you enjoy and freely put all of yourself into it and you will never work a day in your life. When we help others to get what they want, we get what we want in return.
Simple message! Sad that it needs to be said but I needed to hear it for sure. I might watch this everyday at least through lockdown. Thank you x
I just wanted to say im really glad I came across your channel. Thank you for your knowledge. It literally feels like you open a new door in my mind every video
Give and expect nothing in return.
I think we all have to sort ourselves out in order to serve others.
I say serve others. You've still got to watch out where you put your energies. Put them where they are deserved to avoid getting overwhelmed and burnt out.
Just try and deal with what's in front of you. Every good deed effects the larger picture in some way.
Your heart will guide you well.
Only just discovered your videos and I love them
I don't know who you are but I love you🙏 I have been searching for my 'purpose' these past few weeks...and I just came across this. Your video has changed my outlook.. 'We don't have to try and figure anything out we just have to pay attention' So inspiring. Thank you
Great videos . Hope more people will wake up and act, not only speak..

Cuuuute heheheh🤭
@S S lol silly🤭😏🤭
Excellenté
The intro music makes my heart cry..the feeling is so calm and devine🙏🙏
I learning almost one year to playing on cello, and for me it’s amazing, it’s give me
A lot of satisfaction, and i playing 2 time a day,
As someone who has also discovered the same principles espoused here, and proven their worth and veracity, this guy knows what he’s talking about. Sure, they are only words, whereas the doing is difficult and challenging. BUT at least you made it this far, and are in the right place. The rest is up to you.
I love your videos so much you are my favorite spiritual UA-camr. You have made me realize so many things and I will forever be appreciative of you.
So true, I try and live my life in this way. But it is very hard ti be kind and forgiving to folk who are mean to you. Every day I try and I have a lot of success. So, even if I don't have a great deal in material wealth I am still successful in being kind and respectful to others
I wish I can be so well spoken. So wise .
Sending ❤from 🇨🇦
Thank you
I just had an ego death and I appreciate this. This is biblical. I don’t need to die I can experience the beauty of this life. I don’t know how to approach life anymore but I know I’ll enjoy it! Plan to listen to this a lot just for a regrounding. I request your prayers if you are Christian anyone who is reading this 🍲
I've often given to homeless people and never been disgusted by them or thought they're dirty. I stopped giving in my city however because I realised they collect the same benefits as everybody else, they collect even more in many instances as they have accommodation and other benefits provided that your average person on benefits doesn't. Most of the 'homeless' in my town aren't even likely homeless and are only weaponising your own compassion against you so they can score something, alcohol, heroin etc. Compassion is soon replaced with irritation once you realise this.
The System has taken advantage of the homeless Situation, by collecting Money by propagandizing, the people by saying Don't give your money to homeless people, give to a shelter program!! I was once homeless for three months, and I experienced the system/ Shelters myself and seen what they Do and sadly it's a joke!! Don't feed into the Deception!! Give out of your heart !! If God leads you to do So!!
Good morning Brother Nada 🖐️. This message is so spot on 💥 word for word 👍. Letting my feelings take its course will help me grow and set boundaries 😊. Thanks again and have a blessed day 😇.
You are on fire bro! This came just as I pushed back against an oppressive business property landlord who's been causing distress for tenants for years. I decided after a wrestless nights sleep to fight back, to stand up for myself and others who are in this situation. You are bringing light into the darkness with your insights xx
I had paranormal experiences when i was young which gave me a meaning , it was the greatest thing that ever happened to me , but it is also a burden , i became obsessed by morality and whether i was worthy of such a profound experience , and also the fact that people don't believe you which makes it very hard , but i think you need to find something that suits your nature , and with that you can develop to help yourself to help others if you want , maybe then you can find happiness because you are doing things your supposed to be doing .
God called me to serve others as a therapist and I am beyond blessed that this is my calling. ❤
Hello,
Your speech was very inspirational. I loved it. There is only one thing that concerns me. How can someone just stop thinking about his self-importance? If someone has a very low self- esteem then they are strongly focused on such things. Perhaps even too much. It’s not that simple just to let go and concentrate entirely on other people. I think that there is always a deep desire to be important, valued, praised by others. It’s so deeply rooted in our nature that’s it seems impossible to get rid of it.
Lot of very important work that people would do is not appreciated or paid. And often, when you start with noble goal and strategy, you stumble on the interest of powerful and dangerous people.
SURE, BECAUSE WE ALL SUFFER IN ONE way or another.. But experience is sometimes necessary, I've Bein homeless.. THERE FORE I CAN PUT MYSELF IN THERE SHOES MORE SO.. ITS THE LI[TLE THINGS THAT MATTER.. don't be afraid to put urself out there. GOD BLESS.
the love in you is so clearly directed to our heart. thank you so much!!!
I listen to you before I go to bed whenever I need to be calm..you have a soothing voice that I appreciate..thank you
This is coming to me at a critical moment in my life. Thank you.
This video schooled me. For decades I have wondered, "What is my purpose?" Only you have shown me the selfishness of that question. Now I can ask, "What does the world need from me?" -- which is, strangely, a much easier question to answer! Love you. Appreciate you so much.
So true, thank you for reminding me!
Wow this was a beautiful discussion brother.
Yes, it's all about service. And this manifests differently in each person's life. Everyone has their own unique Dharma, which helps the world in some way.
I appreciate the direction you took with this question on purpose, a direction which reminded me of one of my favorite quotes "“We do not ask life what the meaning of life is. Life asks us, what is the meaning of your life. And life demands our answer.” ― Viktor E. Frankl
I Love your spirit Brother..
Thank you. I really needed to hear this today...
This really moved me, as I'm sure it has many others. I keep coming back to this video, drawn to its message. It's a difficult one to put into practice, as so much fear of rejection or invalidation prevents us from offering our compassion freely and openly. But that's part of the journey, isn't it? Even if our compassion is rejected, the message of this video reminds us to put aside that self-serving emotion in the most gentle way possible, so that we might continue to be of service to others. Shifting our focus from "what can I get from this?" to "what can I give?" helps to dissolve so many boundaries, internally and externally. Thank you, Awaken Insight - your gift of this video has been a catalyst for change in me. By touching one life, you have touched many.
Thank you for your wise words
Hmmmm....profounding...
Thank you very much 🙏 I always listen to your videos whenever I feel stressed, sad, and hopeless. I always feel better and calm after watching your videos. Thank you for giving me a hope ❤️🌟
Wonderful channel. No nonsense common sense and truth.
This came at the perfect time. Thank you Nada
I find value in the content of this video and, thus far, in the content of all the videos on this channel. Each time I receive the wisdom shared here, it awakens the same within me; not only the words touch me, but the energy they hold of kindness, respect, a profound acceptance of what is.
Thank you for the spiritual nourishment of my soul. 🙇
Yes yes yes... 🙏❤️😍 Thank you brother for putting it out so elegantly 😇🙏
Thank you so much for sharing.
🙏🙏
Love yourself n give it away .the GIFT💚 is in the giving

The love you give away is the only love you keep.
Much love.
Namaste.
You say everything that I have learnt recently from life.
