Elliot’s channel has now become a vibes channel, and that’s cool with me
Yeah it's great
yea he forgot about kelly and those cringe group he made and started hanging around with nerds
I thought about it 🤔 ....Good point and yea I'm alright with that as well.
@@d6kk what happened to them?
It’s the same video … as all his recent ones… he should try to do what excites…
Imagine, watching new elliot's vlogs is like standing in front of him like a parent watching our own son growing up and smiling because we are genuinely happy of what he is right now and what he's doing or going through, and now we're all here still rooting up on him. We're so proud of you ellyboy.
thanks mom/dad
I thought the exact same thing. Elliott has always been a wonderful example of living your life, having fun, finding yourself, learning and growing. If I had my own college student, I’d have him watch all of Elliott’s vids.
@@ELLIOTCHOY 😂😂
This came together so well. Beautiful story !!
Yessir, Max!
Wtf are you doing here, big fan btw
Elliot's video once again saved me and my dreams. Before I watched this video just now, I felt mentally dead and burned out because I've been working two part time jobs, going to college, participating in club activities, working for clients and working on my personal projects for my social media accounts, at the same time I try to go to the gym 4 times a week (all of these things I've been doing are inspired by Elliot). I was at a breaking point when I clicked on Elliot's video and it completely revived me just like all the times they did before. Elliot reminds me that he was super broke at a point in college but super motivated, and he was able to achieve his goals by visualizing and gathering self-assurance. That's exactly what I need right now when I'm doubting what the point is for me to work my ass off. It's because I have dreams and goals; I have people I love and want to provide for; I want to potentially help more people; I want to live a life that I will enjoy looking back at when I'm old; I want to have no regret not trying hard enough when I'm young.
And the fact that Elliot wore two upcoming hoodies for his clothing line proves that he's been working on something. It's motivates me so much to know that even though he's feeling comfortable and not very motivated, he still works on things that's important for him. I can not believe some people think he's making "getting life together" the main theme of his channel and did not notice the works of art he made. (these designs are going to be my favorite clothing designs of all time)
I'm not being cheesy with this comment, all the influence he had on me is true. I started working out bc of Elliot, started reading bc of Elliot, started photography bc of Elliot, started flipping and reselling bc of Elliot, started UA-cam bc of Elliot, started time-managing bc of Elliot, started checking on my friends regularly bc of Elliot, never watched tiktok bc of Elliot. And I can say that as a sophomore in college I have rose above most of my peers in professional skills and social skills, and all of the changes in my life happened largely because Elliot had planted seeds of success in my heart when I started watching him in highschool.
As Elliot grows, I feel like I'm growing with him, and this growth will never stop because Elliot will never stop and neither will I. I will forever support your content Elliot, you have been the big brother figure that I wished to have. And I'm snatching all those hoodies when they go live.
this hits home ~ thank you for reminding me why I make videos here on youtube
@@ELLIOTCHOY ❤
what a speech.
that's something I'm grateful every single day about social media.
we are able to express our feelings by ourselves and reflect to others somehow - and I definitely feel you, @Leslie.
@Elliot is such an inspiration guy! for sure!
I have too much of a life to read this; But I hit the like button because you get an 🅰️➕ for effort
i feel this ! i try to suppresed by all this tiredness by thinking i'm a workaholic, im glad im not the only one who going thru this
I am in such awe of Elliot; I can't believe that someone our age has reached this level. If I achieved even a quarter of what he has, I would be patting myself on the back for the rest of my life. But I come back every video and it's the same thing I hear every time - 'I need to push myself, I need to do more, I need to be more, what I am now is not enough.' I have to admit it worries me a little bit. Even the little things like the cold baths even though they hurt and aren't fun, it reminds me of some similar extreme behaviour I used to do when I felt the need to push or punish myself for not being good enough, like if I just kept running hard, nothing would be able to catch me, and I wouldn't be able to be considered lazy or stagnant or any of the other things I internalised. If you read this, Elliot, I hope you are as much in awe of yourself as I am, and already know that you are more than good enough and loved and appreciated by hundreds of thousands of people. What you have managed to do for yourself is unbelievable, not just materially but in every other sense. I aspire to create, care about, and commit to things as seriously and passionately as you do.
I know this comment might be crossing a line but this video made me sad somehow and I wanted to speak out in the way I wish someone would have spoken out when I was struggling in secret.
i appreciate you looking out for me ~ for me, pushing myself isn't because I feel pressured to but rather I want to explore my potential. and i'm okay if there are bumps along the way because it's the pursuit for me that is really the fun part. learning to find joy in the pain/progress ~
@@ELLIOTCHOY Then I'm glad you're doing what you love and I respect your dedication to this journey🤍and thank you for sharing it with us
@@joajo you’re Igbo?
@@World_core Yes. You live in Nigeria?
@@joajo yes I do 😅
Elliot, I'm on the same journey that you're on right now: trying to level up and get my life together, trying to focus in and reach the high goals I set for myself. Your videos have shown me that I'm not alone in this feeling, and they've also shown me what's truly possible when you have the right mindset. I'm excited to see how we both progress through the year
What font u use for your thumbnail?
There are millions of UA-cam videos out there, but it's ones like these that stay with you and motivate you to become a better person
When ppl say they miss the old Elliot, most mean they miss your college vlogs. But to me, I miss your old mindset of believing that you could accomplish anything u set ur mind to. We need that Elliot back!
you’ve completely changed my lifestyle for this year in just 2 weeks bro, i say this as motivation, keep it up you’re doing amazing
My therapy teacher said to make a schedule for every part of your life (me, my environment, my relationships, my community, my city, my state, my country, the world, the universe) to set goals, for today, this week, this month, this year, this decades, this 50 years.
My rabbis says that you should always set tiny goals because you can always improve a tiny bit.
Lately, I made a list of things I dislike doing. Every day I try to give priority to some of these items. This way, they get done faster than never. I always feel good after I've done them. But I've settled on that if I'll wait until I like doing them ahead of time, that will be never.
Great advices. Thank you
Elliot is such an inspiration to me, he inspires me every day to wake up and try to become the best version of myself. For that I am very thankful
The problem with him that he tries to be a better version of himself for sake of it, he tries to be a better person but forgets the initial goal of being a person, his whole life is making his life better and hence he doesn’t even live life. Even like the cold showers , they don’t have a point he just does them for sake of the cold shower and not the goal behind it. Also like notice all his latest videos are “day in A life”,”getting my life together” , and what’s funny about that that this becomes his life , he doesn’t relly have a life , his life is “living life” but really he does nothing.
Also, he grinds for the sake of grinding because in this way it makes him forget that he doesn’t have real hobbies or thoughts even.
@@waterfirecards5128 he must be going through some difficult moments of self-knowledge, but I know that him reading this will not help at all
This is Elliot's 4th 'getting my life together' video. And i can totally realate with that. No one figures out life and we constantly need to always try to get it together. Proud of you Elliot. You've been inspiring me many a times. Love you man.
First off I love the natural light in this flat, it absolutely carries the videos aesthetics. I’m inspired and happy to see that other people feel the same way and to know it’s normal to feel a little “too comfortable” or stuck. And I’m sure by sharing and motivating each other we can get out of these feelings and back in track. Doesn’t always have to be “hustle culture” just normal day to day life. ❤ thanks for this little peace of art, really made my morning!
Your have switched your video editing style from motivational and energetic to calm and aesthetically pleasing over the years, indicating some kind of maturity that you’ve gained. I appreciate both video styles as they all inspire me one way or another.
So much has happened with the past few years, but been loving the vlogs and being apart of this journey. One of my goals is to push out more content on youtube, so thank you for the constant inspiration and I cant to see you build up your systems for this year.
Recently, I've been feeling just like Elliot explained, but I wasn't even sure of why and I just kept asking myself "Am I too comfortable right now that I don't even set goals or dream about what I'd like to do?" Now after seeing his video I can say that it is self-doubt. Yes, it is. I've been getting that feeling of not being capable of doing more or pushing myself more towards my goals. Great video! Love that it focuses on real life struggles and that it can help us to open our minds with your insights.
The calmness, the strength and the quiet elegance in his videos, is what takes him a notch above everyone else. Just love
새로 바뀐 영상 스타일 너무 좋습니다.
무엇보다 혼자 본인 취향으로 꾸려나가는 삶이 정말 매력적으로 다가오네요.
다음 영상도 기다리겠습니다.
Whenever I eat Tacos and see a Taco holder, I honestly think of you. That was a brave thing to do and a blessing in disguise I think, cos we learn from our past.
i’ve recently been in a funk especially with the new year starting and watching this really inspired me to strive for what I want to achieve. thanks so much Elliot for this lovely video
Elliot this was incredible, let’s all make this year our year
LET'S DO IT!
How is your year going?😁
This video have a really important place in my heart. I always rewatch this whenever I feel like my life is out of track. Thank you so much Elliot, watching your journey from the start up to now 1 year after this video is such a bliss. I hope you can continue to inspire many people like me.
Eliot, I have no words to thank you for the new direction your content has taken. I see you much more centered and I realize that this path has been so much better for you that it reflects here for us. Thank you so much for reinventing yourself.
"maybe if I get a bunch of plants it'll solve all my problems" love that energie also every sppace just looks better with them
I think everyone goes through this at one point or another. I’m still kind of in this phase and same situation where I look back and think I used to do so much more or achieve more. But I also think it is okay…we are different from who we were before. I came to the realization that I shouldn’t force myself to do something that I USED enjoy or did and focus on the person I am today (instead of being hung up on old habits of mine). Hope everyone finds their path again
it makes so much sense. I have been feeling so lost, purposeless, and carefree. I would think to myself, I am not working as hard as I used, do I not care anymore?. Your video made me realize, I have achieved my past goals, I need to reset my goals, and challenge myself to feel alive again. Thank you
I feel like I resonate with this on so many levels. I feel like most people associate getting older with personal growth and development but that's not always the case. It sometimes feels like a Rollercoaster. Sometimes you feel like you've grown in some ways and regressed in others. That's how I feel right now. But anyways I hope 2023 is a great year for building relationships and personal development for everyone.
perfect message for the new year~
Elliot, you inspired me to go to college. Here i am, a sophomore at a college I never thought i would be at. Thank you so much. It is ok to have downs, keep in mind that ups are next!
dude the parts with captions are so relaxing, feel like I'm playing a video game
Thank you man, I have been going through practically the same journey. I found success in my venture and now I am way better than I have been 2 years ago, but I became comfortable and alot of self-doubt was arising. This video truly inspired me to turn things around.
The stage Elliot is in right now is where I am. I am quite excited to return to my UA-cam channel soon. Creating goals to accomplish in a certain amount of time, posting videos with more sincerity, etc. I'm becoming far too at comfortable with myself. I didn't push myself as hard last year as I had in 2021. If Elliott reads this, I just wanted to let you know that you were my inspiration for creating a UA-cam channel. Knowing that I'm not the only one in this circumstance while I watch this video is quite a relief. I appreciate you being open and sincere with your audience about your thoughts.
Elliott you're doing pretty well. You're going to have highs, normal, and lows in life. Just enjoy the process, don't put so much pressure on yourself, you can't constantly be on a high, so you don't crash. Try not to get caught up in the rat race of this life. Relax, set your goals, enjoy the moment, no pressure. You still have life's journey ahead of you.
i can't believe it's been four years since that first day in the life vlog -- i was a sophomore in hs back then and now i'm a sophomore in college, and i relate a lot to what you're saying about the self doubt and just needing to believe in yourself despite it. thinking about how im now the same age as you were back then is crazy but inspiring and motivates me all the more to achieve my goals. thanks for your introspective and thoughtful content lately and i have no doubt that you'll be exceeding all the goals you set in no time
Really happy to see this version of you back! It feels like your true self is coming back after the college days and you're gonna crush it
I haven't been watching your videos for too long. Since 2018 to be exact. Today, I can say that my life style changes, which includes waking up earlier, exercising more frequently, having discipline were very influenced by you. I know it sounds silly, but I found your videos at a time where my parents had moved back to their home country and I stayed here by myself. I was 19. It was scary, a crazy decision I made to stay here while they are in South America. However, your videos and your life style were something I had not seen before and I wanted it as soon as I saw it. I was willing to work hard to get it. Since then, I have been watching you grow and growing myself. Everything you put out gave me strenght to continue, the song choices, the boosted board, the reading montages, the trips. Since then I have moved into my apartment (I used to rent bedrooms here and there) traveled to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Washington and next year I am going to Brazil to finally see my parents. I am also able to support them financially. I still have a lot to achieve but recently got very comfortable with where I am. My dad said to be "You are done with your goals? Just set new ones. Very far away from your current reality and just start working on it." Well...hopefully in 4 years I will look back and see that I did achieve those goals just like I am doing it now.
Thank you for your videos. God bless you.
Been a subscriber since your university days Elliot, I have witness your personal growth. You were the reason why I was inspired to work on my goals and to pay attention on what really matters the most. I appreciate every video you have been uploading, keep them up. I hope that one day we may cross paths and thank you personally for the life motivation that you have influenced me.
I don’t think you are actually happy in your life.. just stay happy .. enjoy your life.. accomplish everything you desire .. you are capable of everything.. have a great year ahead 🥂
Elliot I am a long time supporter of you and let me just say that your content keep getting better and better with each upload. I remember watching you when you were attending Vanderbilt and just to see how far you have come inspires me so much. Keep up what you are doing.
The vibes of this channel is actually amazing this is like the only reason I still use UA-cam
Some wholesome content to watch on UA-cam 🫠❤️
Your posts are great as always, elliot!
Keep up the good work bro
The ability to make someone cry in the morning is different.I felt so relatable & connect to ur life as it feels like everything was a mess, but greatful. U miss the old times and wanted to go back some days, but it doesn’t look the same. Thank you Elliot for sharing your thought here
I just discovered your channel one or two months ago, but I am already so proud of you bro. You really inspire a lot of people including me, keep it up bro!
Elliot I just want to say that you have helped me a lot me being a junior going into senior year struggling with school and life … you have been such an inspiration. Watching your videos keeps me motivated and wants to work harder to become such a successful person such as yourself . You hit a lot of your goals and I want to do the same thank you !
Kelly And Elliot Doing the cold water bath ,still the brotherhood remains the same
Epic video. You’ve already made it man, sky is the limit for you - keep going.
This was so beautiful to watch! I'm proud of you elliot!
Elliot I just want to say thank you. I'm at a period of my life right now where I have these really big and ambitious goals I want to accomplish, but I'm struggling. For the past 2 months I've been struggling to get what I need to get done everyday and I've been beginning to fall into a mindset of blame and agitation. This video has inspired me to really dive into my goals this year, get my life back together and free myself of the toxic mindset I've began to develop. Thank you Elliot, keep up the great content! I'm a big fan of the style you've been doing.
the start to change is just deciding - commit!
You can tell this guy really got affected hard by the split, it’s been months and he’s still down in the dumps
Time heals all wounds. Don’t take too long though. They were great together. All 4 of em.
@@jaymleung true, that aside, I can’t help but get jealous and envy this man when I see that incredible view he gets to look at whenever. That apartment is a playground for every woman’s fantasy and he isn’t taking advantage of it lol
@@TrvisXXIII LOLLLLLLL i'm pretty sure Nic is there alot!
@@jaymleung that’s his girl? Lol didn’t know he made it official with her
@@TrvisXXIII I’m like 99% certain based on past videos. But then again nothing is for certain 🤷♂️
Real talk he looks legit depressed. It hurts.
wow i’ve seen this channel changed so much. “water your plant” has so much meaning
i still watch every video elliot posts, but i can't help but see him through the lens of knowing what he did to kelly and ashley. bummer
Never related so much.. thank you for putting this out … it was beautiful
🤍🤍
He misses his friends i think
I like that whenever you reach a certain age, you tend to want to regress back into the "good old days". I was the same way. Whenever I got to about 20 years old, I felt the urge to live like I was 14 again. I know 6 years is not a big difference but it just felt so long ago.
Elliot seems depressed
I graduated the same year as you and have also been having similar thoughts. It feels like now's the time when we're actually an adult and it feels like the days are very steady/calming and less driven by adrenaline.
I kept reflecting on this and found that when I was a student, I was driven by adrenaline because I felt like there was so much to accomplish in such little time. I was also very insecure about the future so I kept trying to check off as many boxes as possible. Now, it feels like I have all the time in the world to accomplish my dreams. It seems like it's not a bad thing to allow yourself the option of having more time and living life less rushed. We're only really able to enjoy the process, run into surprises, be more intentional, and explore opportunities when we are less rushed.
I believe you're similar to me in the sense that somedays, you'll feel something from deep inside telling you that you can keep chasing those big goals and that you can always do more. To me, that is a clear sign that the fire is still within you. It feels slow right now, but I think we're both just experiencing a different stage in life right now. Take this opportunity to find yourself, see who you are, discover what you want to do with your time and what you want to accomplish next. The key is to take your time to define for YOURSELF what the next stage/level is and NEVER EVER GIVE-UP!
I think another thing is that as an adult, our goals are bigger and take longer to accomplish. In the process of accomplishing the goals, we feel like we're not progressing, but that might not be true. Most of the time, we're doing just fine and it is only a weird feeling deep inside playing tricks on us.
Lastly, just want to say keep up with the amazing videos! I really love how you're providing more value by connecting with the audience on a deeper level. I hope you figure it all out!
Elliot really really motivates people like me who are ambitious about their goals and making it happen irl and no flexing stuff no partying no chasing girls and all these things. Love you lad keep pushing!
I’m late to this but I love the vision you got and how you can find some inner problems and it helps me be like “okay I need this discipline more in my life now to reach my goals later” ! Love it man ❤
Last 4 videos are repetitive
I think that Elliot is so different from his previous friends tho. Not entirely but there's a part of Elliot that is so calm and relatable. I like the way he's so reflective on things.. Btw I love his friend before but this is just something I've noticed. Love ya El
enough with the subtitles videos
Being creative is also getting out of the logical side of our and less overthinking! I love how honest and transparent you are, keep it up Ellliot you're doing great!
As a long time viewer, I feel I like the more energetic style of videos more than these. To Elliot: Hope this reached you in the right sense... You moved to New York a couple of years ago after graduating just to make a lot of videos you love and grind... That energy of yours was unmatched and that's where you gained most of your subscribers. That energy is what most of us look for in your videos. Wud be great if we could get to see that side of you more often in the upcoming videos...
Hope we can get a response to this... Love
i just watch dis guy so i can get ideas on how to be a good adult and how to stratergise and organise my stuff as effectively as you do it
i go to boarding school right now and i've already started picking up your habits and i just thank you for making videos like this.
God bless broski
Hey Elliot! This was one of your best videos. I loved the part where you talk about how you've achieved the goals you set 4-5 years ago and now you're struggling to figure out what you want to work towards now. What I love about you videos is your transparency. I'm 21 so you're always a couple steps ahead of me and when you're so open about the challenges you face and how you're working to get there, it is really inspiring. Loving the evolution in your storytelling. Thanks again for another inspiring video 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I seriously really like your new style of vlogging and It probably was scary branching off from your moms house but you are really making the most of it. keep doing you man your an inspiration to us all.
The vibes of this video make me motivated because i can enjoy the slow paced of life and want to do something to enhance my lifestyle. Honestly i really love ur videos and hope to watch more.
A follower from Vietnam
I also miss old Elliot. I remember that day when I attended one of your live in 2019 and that was one of the best day. I felt connected with you and also started vlogging in my own college. Since then I started writing my dairy every month & achieved some of those goals.
the vibes j keep on getting better
I found this channel yesterday. I’m from Argentina and I want to improve my English listening and pronunciation. I found here that and a lot of things that are important for to grow like a person too. You inspire. Thank you.
Love you elliot, been here for awhile and you've came so far. I feel you super heavily on the getting too comfortable part. But this year is ours :)
Literally been feeling the same. Got all of those photos of me before COVID and now I want to be some aspect of my old self while taking in the new things I’ve learned and come back to society and my friends:)
The questions you wondered were all the ones I too ask myself too many times...recently I met some failure in my life and this sense of doubt was growing ever more. everytime I wanted to just get back and start over..the inner doubt was just stopping me. Every time I see ray of hope and start...my mind gets too distracted on my self doubt.
And seeing this video was kind of like reading my mind and it just gave me some relief that as long as I concentrate on my positive inner voice, it might make a difference.
Thankyou so much!!!
If your new to plants, i really recommend to look at what you find comfortable with watering schedules. Would you like to water othen or rarely?
I cant keep cactusses alive because i forget that i have to water them
But plants that i have to water often are doing great
The plant i recommend most is the pancakeplant / pileapeperomioides
It looks great and is very easy to care for
+very easy to propogate. I started off with one plant and now have 10, and gifted a few to my friends.
Its very fun to swap propegations with your friends
Wow I love your videos. Seeing that whiteboard you made four years ago has inspired me a lot. I'm kinda going through a slump (It'd pass as a quarter life crisis, but not really cause I'm just turning 21) - seeing your goals has made me think I should make my own and stick to them and also to listen to the side of me that actually believes I can make whatever I want work in life. Love Tee :)
I'm finally going to get a 2023 journal, something I've been procrastinating since the year started. Thanks.
these videos have progressed to literal works of art. the professionalism is simply a joy to watch and experience.
also had a bunch of goals in the beginning and than lost motivation, but I think I am back in the game. nice to realize that it’s not too late to get back and you are not alone.
It’s interestingly poetic that what the previous you wanted, the current you had, and what the current you wants is the precious you
The slump/not feeling motivated enought is part of the creative process. You got this bro. Be kind to yourself
all a part of the journey ~
This so me. I keep doubting myself, but something inside keeps telling me that I can do it. Elliot thanks for helping me clarify my inner struggles, I will keep trying to get to my goals this year 2023. Thank you.
Thank you for this, I've been struggling to get my life together and really get into a routine and commit to my goals. This really gave me some motivation to achieve everything that i aspire to.
Another week, another fantastic video from Elliot.
Elliot keeps it real and grounding! Hope he continues to do so, hope he realised how many hearts he’s touched
I used to not believe in self-help books but since I started watching your videos, i kickstarted my love for reading again and genuinely started taking control over my life, even with small steps. Keep inspiring!
it's all about controlling your environment and what your mind consumes ~
These types of videos suit you the best! The calmness and the minimalistic lifestyle, this is exactly how I imagined your personality. I'm glad that you are comfortable enough to make videos just as you enjoy. Thank u elliott. I've learned so much from u not only to live my life as i want but all about money and how to reach my goals. I hope to see u one day in real life!
this was a very inspirational video, reminiscing the old times in your college era, rlly made me tear up 🥲
I thank you for this video, I am in a really tricky situation in my life rn, so listening to youre sayings and telling youre story has really helped me re focuse in my life and think about the things I want to accomplish. Thank you.
I watched a couple of your vlogs and just wanted to thank you. It made me feel better. Feel like I haven't lost my life yet and still can be happy. Hard work suddenly doesn't seem to be pointless. Wish you good luck, Elliot. Wish you good luck, whoever will read the comment.
elliot, this video fr saved me from so much anxiety, this is probably going to be my on spot solution for anxiety.
sincerely, thank you
this video resonated with me so much that I almost cried, I think we are in similar spots in life and it's no fun, but small daily actions are helping me to move forward and gain momentum. I hope you find a way to return to the feeling you used to have. love from Mexico
i love listening to elliot talking about random stuff in his videos. i've been watching him since 2021 and he already feels like a friend to me. we love you, elliot!
Elliot, every time I watch your videos, I leave feeling inspired and motivated. Keep doing you man, you are influencing a lot of people in a positive way.
taco holders, I am loving these videos. The NYC ones are giving me inspiration and motivation to keep pushing towards my goals and to keep going. Thanks so much!!!
You did not just organize ur life but inspired us all to do it. Also that visualisation part was motivational
I reached the point in my life where I thought I'd be at the place that I want to be. But life happens. And it takes great courage to take back the control of our lives. We got this 💪
wonderful wonderful wonderful video . im literally in awe of how simple and beautiful it is . thank u so much for the inspiration to pave way in this new year !
I really love how you decorate your space and focus on yourself. I find that admiring
You are my inspiration Elliot. I look up to you. Keep up the good stuff, 2023's gonna be great
I relate with Elliot on the fact that I have lost the drive I previously had to get out of my comfort zone. And just like him, I'm trying to get it back. I don't want the neurotic part of my old self, just the motivated one. But I believe without the anxiety or sadness I won't be able to motivate myself to that extent again.
