    One more thing, if you’re unable to travel, take a different route home from work, change the scenery and don’t be afraid to do things by yourself. Don’t make being solo stop you from doing something different or something you love.

      So true! Don't be limited by other people not being available to do fun stuff. I go alone often because schedules don't match up etc.

      Yes! I wanted to kayak but am limited with life responsibilities to travel and kayak as much as I want. So I bought an inflatable (don't even have the car to transport a plastic one) cheap kayak and went to try it on river 5 mins away. I have been in heaven every weekend in summer for 2 summers! I was scared and very uncomfortable the first time. I can't believe I haven't done it in 10 years I have lived here! And also, there are days on weekends I don't see anyone for 3-4 hours on the river! Ppl have no idea of this slice of heaven in the middle of a very populated suburb of a huge city! Mind blowing. But all the ppl I told what I do said or thought I was crazy.😂

    To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. ❤🧘‍♂

    This is so true! You have to REPROGRAM your mind and what “success” looks like to you. We are so conditioned to think success is a reflection of societal status, possessions etc. but that all means nothing if you don’t love what you are doing! Live for God’s will for your life, not man’s.

    Love this! Was diagnosed with cancer in 2020 & I beat it. That changed my whole perspective & everything you said in this video is what I’m striving for. Being okay with saying that I don’t know what’s going to happen next & living anyway. Embracing the wonder & the mysteries of life instead of fighting them or stressing myself out trying to figure them out. Just living the best life I can live while hopefully adding value to the lives of those around me while I’m here. Keep bringing the inspiration Tim. It is much needed! Sending you love & light! 💛

    You are so right, life is a learning experience. I heard such a profound quote the other day, " if you're not happy with your morning cup of coffee, you wont be happy on a yacht", that absolutely blew me away. A second point i'd like to make is this: people don't live by their own intuition and dreams and 'gut feeling', they go with what they think society wants from them. This is the wrong way round, we have to have the courage to live our own truth. Then we will know true happiness. Great vid, as always :)

    'a rich life' So I'll rule out the money side of that term......then we have a subjective term. I was chasing keeping up with the Jones, lost everything, so now 'rich' has already had two totally different effects on me. One rich I always previously wanted, is now my enemy, and my new rich in life is a life I would have never previously wanted. From taking things for granted to being very quickly humbled by reality. Things I've changed, no social media apart from YT, I hike, long dog walks, changed my career path and keep things as simple as I possible can. No more chasing.

  • @hammersaw3135

    Life is like a busy road in the city. Lots of people doing dangerous maneuvers and road raging around town, speeding so they can stop at the same light as the 'slow' person they passed. I always refer back to the favorite childhood story of the tortoise and the hare. The tortoise had a better adventure, and still beat the hare without stressing it.

    Everytime you look for a destination and it’s not like what you imagined, you just end up disappointing yourself more often than not. And not only because it may not be what you anticipated but also because life still keeps going on as it always had and always will. You end up disappointed because you didn’t enjoy the journey. So you just keep on going till you figure that out.

It's not that I didn't feel like it but something inside me kept pushing me to get back up! Three decades on and I walked right out of that whole mess, including some years with PTSD, and life became my friend again. Thanks for putting it so succinctly Tim, love and peace to you.

  • @SamMorgan95
    @SamMorgan95 Рік тому +1

    I agree with a lot of the sentiments in this video. Moreover, I think we all have the voice in the back of our head encouraging us to do what we think we should do. However, I also think it’s important to ask yourself why you want to do it. More specifically, if your internal dialogue goes something like, “I want to do this thing because everyone will be stoked on me and think I’m super awesome.” you should stop immediately because the harsh reality is that nobody else really cares.
    Because of our programming, the line between ego and our true desires is blurred and I have a really hard time telling the difference. That’s what I’m currently working on.

    It applies to all living things. You attempt to survive. Humans think too much cause of their big noggins and egos....so we need to think too much. We are here to connect. We are all energy and meant to keep going. Clues are tapping into what you should be conscious of. I believe we are here to create and love. Some do so in a negative way and some positive. Most sway more in the middle or back and forth. Namaste.

I will certainly try again later on when I'm more prepared and have nothing else to lose. My clues have been about timing and taking care of those who need me. However the experience I just had gave me a confirmation that I can do it and that I can keep going!

    I agree! Life is too short to worry about the things that really don't matter. Tomorrow is not promised at all, so its better to spend your life living and creating experiences rather than living a life of misery. There is this old Honda commercial...and it says, "Failure is the key to success". Some of the best advice I've followed to this date. No longer afraid to fail.

    I can't tell you how much I needed this right now. At this moment. Thanks for this. Edit: You just asked don't you want to enjoy life? I don't think I know how to. I got a lot to think about.
