I just started brain dumping but never thought of categorizing my thoughts on paper. I will give that a shot next time and see how it goes. Thanks for another great video, Ronald!
Taking control of your emotions - embracing them really, and allowing to recognize what matters & is worth the energy to spend on. I wrote down “Don’t let it bother you. It’s not worth it.” definitely will look at that before I scroll & suppress.
@@charliemiguel1341 To feel better reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breath and mind [brain] are closely related causing stress-anxiety. For a better life sit on a chair, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. Slowly the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. Change happens from within by itself. Day or night, when taking a walk, sitting in a park, when reading, at office, before sleep etc sit or lie down and observe your breath. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Reduce watching negative social media. Avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes. Senior Counsellor.

@@Becky-vb8fs A reminder. Since many years I have made it a habit to observe my breath sensations even during my normal activities and I am feeling relaxed and healthy.

Overthinking causes me to lose sooo much sleep. I'm definitely going to try that brain dump with hopes that it helps. I haven't had a good nights sleep in yearsss.
Me too, I have terrible anxiety and panic attacks. I've started taking valerian root, it really calms my racing mind and helps me sleep. It's not addicting and doesn't make me feel groggy when I wake up. I even take it during the day if I'm really anxious

The perfection point really hit deep. Every time I start something I want, no, I need it to be perfect and when I can not reach that point of perfection that I see in my head, I end up giving up. I really needed this message. Thanks
To me the main point to stop overthinking is to face the problem and find a solution to it - don't dawdle, solve it asap, if there's a problem that disturbs you, try to keep it small from a point of view, never ever let it your mind turn it to a big thing because it will lead to overthinking then anxiety.
You're a wise soul, Ron. This was a good reminder to focus on the present so that the future can be nudged in the direction I want. Specifically, I need to take better care of "present Me" so that "future Me" is healthier. And sometimes it's good to thank "past Me" for doing a good job!
As an anxiety ridden overthinker this video has provide me with several tools to overcome my overwhelming thoughts. I'm most excited to execute the 'Brain Dump' I will be starting this exercise tonight. Thank you! 😊
Hi Ron, I hope you get to read this comment. I have had to learn to observe my thoughts/feelings without judging them. I’m not a fan of mindfulness or visualisations, emptying your mind in order to be peaceful seemed like a lot of effort to maintain and why would I want to be empty minded? In my faith, observing without judging has allowed me to put down my opinions and the opinions of others and really seek God’s answers in my life. This removes fear for me because He has plans for my good. It also helps me to remember that everyone needs grace! It is much less pressure than working out everything on my own. Please stay away from visualisation, it gets us focused on what we want and can pull us away from God’s desires for us (it is also a fundamental principle of the new age law of attraction). I fell for this my whole life until God took the beam out of my own eye. Take care 😊
The first thing I'll do is start my creative channel, for a while I allow my fears, insecurities stop me from doing it and other projects. The self judgement, perfectionism, comparisons were overflowing in my mind, I was feeling incapable, inferior, and a lot of bad things... But know it's time to change!
Go for it my friend! That fear will continue in eat away at you if you let! So the only way to suffocate it is by pouring buckets of courage onto it! 🙌🏾
I have also been overthinking a lot about my career as well as my youtube channel as a new creator. Definitely need to take a step back and build up better habits, and fail forward!
2006 the shift happened again. I was cleaning my shed out and in my head I heard. "You know in a hundred years nobody will care about any of this...stuff." instantly I started chucking stuff in the trash. Yearbooks childhood toys pictures etc. I had no idea in 2012 I'd be moving to Hawaii. In the letting go of 95% of stuff I created a shift unknowingly. Then the internal journey began to shine and the pains of yesteryears began to come back to me not as fear or anger or resentment but as a soft whisper in my ears "This is your Destiny. Your ancestors started the journey so you may continue the legacy. Let us go and you will be healed." The healing began in March of 1986. I was 11. March 2021 will be my 35th & 34th & 28th anniversary of winning the battle of the me vs. brain cancer. We've all been hurt. Now is the time to let go. Much laughter & love to all 😀💞🌈
I have hope that this will help me, it’s ruining my life right now and I’m only 15. I shouldn’t be crying every night because of overthinking. All I can say is “thank you and I got this”
I had issues with overthinking stuff for quite a while and came to the simple conclusion that just keeping yourself busy, is pretty much the most effective weapon against overthinking... If u don't have a job, get one. If u don't participate in any social activities or courses, do so. If u usually don't go out with friends, ask them out and do not talk about it. Seriously the more packed your schedule is A: The less you think about it and B: The less important it seems to you since you got other shit to do... They pretty much do the same shit with soldiers in the military after they collapse or so during training just check up if you're still in shape medically and get you back into line asap so you can't think about it too much
I would also like to add another point. Stop listening to negative people. If you only surround yourself with people who put you down when you will only see and hear negative things. Surround yourself with people who are positive, striving for something better.
I do not know if there exist a term for my very own version of overthinking. I am a note taker and here is my story: One day, I made promise to myself that I am to sort 50,000 words worth of notes (contents consisting of lesson learned/observations in the various areas of my life) in bullet point form that's accumulated throughout the past 3 years. Only then upon completion do I start living and continuing with what I love to do and with life. I got to working on it with the following filters on each of the bullet point and putting them into categories as well: 1. Why is this point relevant? 2. And if no why not? 3. What's my problem back then/why have I taken this down back then?? 4. Any To-Do list? It became taxing too quick and I find myself mentally-physically drained, especially on No.3 where it requires me to think about the past. I've been living like a recluse refusing to step outside for as long as I do not complete this. I do not know if I am actually listening to my instinct this way or am I setting boundaries to myself by applying these filters, but I restarted over and over at least 10 times and even introducing a new method just to cause me more confusion - 'Cause, Effect, Objective, Problem, Solution'. And now its a huge mess, been 9 months and still getting nowhere. Thank you for those who stopped by my comment, took alot of courage for me to pen this
I genuinely want to see you change your life for the better and I’m so happy this video reached you and is helping you do that Jen! Keep growing! If you have questions don’t hesitate to ask!
I have been journaling more and brain dumping and it relieves so much stress from my mind.Getting intentional with my day before the day starts helps me from overthinking.. I just remind myself of the intentions through the day.
Hey Ronald, this is again beautifully timed for my current situation. I just did a brain dump of action items last week and I used the next categories: Heart - things of which I feel they trigger strong emotional reactions Sunshine - things of which I feel will bring me a lot of energy Lightning - things of which I feel they will save me frustration when they are done Thank you for sharing
This is such a good advice! I have been using a similar technique against overthinking for 3 or 4 years now and I can attest that it works. Also viewing life's obstacles in a positive way has helped me to stop overthinking and become more sophisticated in growing emotionally. I now see countless opportunities for growth and change rather than only problems. Life gives you lessons for a simple reason and the reason is that you'll have to grow. For me it was is the biggest mindshift ever.
Overthinking is like an addiction. When you said how much will it matter next year… My thought is about a guy who I won’t even REMEMBER EXISTS a year from now! (A stranger.) But then it’s like I immediately try to think of excuses as to why I should still think about it. It’s sick and twisted why some of us to this to ourselves. 😡
You've had so many issues(?) that I can relate to, my problem was anxiety to be precise but it appears that my overthinking was tied to it as well. Keep crankin' em out Ron and God bless.

This is a great one! It’s all about building awareness to filter was is actually important right now. I didn’t think it was possible for me but I am now enjoying this newly discovered freedom. The challenge is truly in our minds. 🤗
I’ve begun to view overthinking or rather deep thinking as a gift from God that allows me to be innately introspective and more aware of my surroundings. Of course like you said, it needs to be done in a healthy manner and I’ve been able to notice when my deep thinking takes a negative turn and capture those thoughts.
Wow! Face Everything And Rise. You don’t know how much that impacted me just now. This is great content Ron. Watching all these motivational videos this week has been a huge eye opener for me. Thank you so much & God Bless ❤️

But seriously, thank you for this video, I’m trying to reasearch as much as I can so I can beat this overthinking stage of my life and videos like this really help.
I’m really happy this reached you my friend! I posted another video recently that continues this conversation. Here is a link in case you haven’t seen it: ua-cam.com/video/aXEi56pQT8c/v-deo.html
Over-analyzing is something I have worked on for years. I love the term you used "Brain dump",....and have developed a similar idea in that I write down all the things that are taking up too much of my "thought time" and recognize them for what they are. If they do not actually hold great value then I must let them go. It is imperative that I move forward in my thinking and life. Resting the mind, just like recovering time for the body after exercise is essential. I have found the UA-cam video by Guy Winch, "emotional hygiene" to be an excellent source of information on the subject.
Thank you for this. I have a small sign that reads “My emotions are indicators, not dictators. “ It comes from the Proverbs 31 Bible study group online. I believe that what you are saying is that being self-aware, we can live more productive and joyful lives. I am aware of my overthinking and my emotions and am adapting my days accordingly. Forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask this question, I have searched and not found an answer. I believe that you have said that your poetry is self-published. I am very interested in buying a book. Where might I purchase a copy? Thank you for your openness and honesty. Your sharing is opening new lives to others.
I love that Linda! Keep that verse with you! As far as books, I currently don’t have any poetry books available at the moment. However I do plan to publish another in the future.
After a successful investment , you have nothing to worry about whether rise or fall of the economy or anything won't affect you, make your future brighter by making good investment
when I was in the whole comment I thought it was to collect money from people, until I was convinced and I tried investing $1000 and Mr George Harry made me a profit of $4700.
I keep watching videos on UA-cam waisting my time on strategies but when I invested $2,000 and he made me profit of $14,000 just in 2 weeks I'm so happy trading with him...
Visualize what can go right, I am an over thinker to the max and it keeps me stagnant in my life. Human psychology and behavior is hands-down the most interesting thing to learn about, to think/(overthink overthinking) about, and my favorite topic to talk about! And as I dig into different philosophies of life, i’ve made several revelations about this process but still seem to get stuck. But for some reason you having said that about keeping what can go right front and center in your mind to avoid the spiraling negativity that comes from overthinking and analyzing, really just clicked with me. I was procrastinating getting ready while listening to you, and got up as soon as you started talking about that! Thank you I’m glad I found you. And I’ll definitely be sure to check out your other videos
Thank you for this video. I've been struggling with this alot and the point about not losing my sanity over the past was something I needed to hear :) keep up the great content. I think you'll be very successful
Brain Dump without a doubt is helping right now. Just seeing everything laid out of what I’m thinking, does it matter, how will it effect me now/future really sheds some light on a lot of things thank you
I want to thank you very much for this video. I struggle with my thoughts constantly, but now I've found a way to deal with it and not go crazy. Thanks a lot!
This is a Divine interaction because this is exactly what my Forex mentor shares with us in our Forex community. It can truly be applied to all aspects of our lives. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for this, you really spoke to me fr! I am an engineer, musician, and day trader, I constantly find myself overthinking and attempting to perfect everything. However, the brain dump and waiting for perfection is what stood out to me the most. In addition, I need to gain comfort with being uncomfortable and the unknown because I cannot predict the future. I also need to execute more of my creative thoughts than being worried about what could go wrong and focus on what could go right. I definitely subscribed, and I will continue to tune in. Thanks for these steps, I wrote them down and my anxiety was cured just by watching this video as I have some upcoming interviews this week and next week. This video definitely will help me to maintain my composure and aim for the heights. Thank you once again!
Which actionable step resonated with you, or you do think will help you the most?
Sensei Banks, I can not change my past, and this is a great proclamation. Thank you for giving us the tools to reach our goals.
I just started brain dumping but never thought of categorizing my thoughts on paper. I will give that a shot next time and see how it goes. Thanks for another great video, Ronald!
Brain dumping. I tend to mull over situations. Especially when I don’t have all the facts. That leads to incorrect conclusions.
Fear is my enemy- I have to work on changing my view of fear. I AM FACING YOU FEAR!!! YES I AM!! NO MORE RUNNING FROM YOU!?
Taking control of your emotions - embracing them really, and allowing to recognize what matters & is worth the energy to spend on. I wrote down “Don’t let it bother you. It’s not worth it.” definitely will look at that before I scroll & suppress.
that moment when you end up watching this video twice cause you were overthinking and didnt listen to half of what he said
me too! haha
Me three 😭😭

Very helpful. Your comparison to physical exercise is so correct. Overthinking can do to a mind what over exertion can do to muscles.
This has seriously been the most helpful video I’ve watched on UA-cam ever. Thank you! Love your insights.
I have hope that this will help me, it’s ruining my life right now and I’m only 15. I shouldn’t be crying every night because of overthinking. All I can say is “thank you and I got this”
i’m 16 and i genuinely feel the same ! i hope everything works out for u and you feel nothing but positivity
I love solutions not emotions. Overthinking takes up way to much headspace in my life. Your channel is very positive and well done. Thank you.
I had issues with overthinking stuff for quite a while and came to the simple conclusion that just keeping yourself busy, is pretty much the most effective weapon against overthinking...
If u don't have a job, get one.
If u don't participate in any social activities or courses, do so.
If u usually don't go out with friends, ask them out and do not talk about it.
Seriously the more packed your schedule is A: The less you think about it and B: The less important it seems to you since you got other shit to do...

I’m glad I had an opportunity to share this with you Patrick!
Thanks man this really helped me
Lately I’ve been overthinking so much that dumping my brains out is a MUST.
Sometimes it’s good to just get everything out and then sort through it to see what really makes sense!
Everything! But first, this: “I can’t predict the future or change the past.” Thanks so much for all of these. I’m going to implement them ASAP.
I do not know if there exist a term for my very own version of overthinking. I am a note taker and here is my story: One day, I made promise to myself that I am to sort 50,000 words worth of notes (contents consisting of lesson learned/observations in the various areas of my life) in bullet point form that's accumulated throughout the past 3 years. Only then upon completion do I start living and continuing with what I love to do and with life. I got to working on it with the following filters on each of the bullet point and putting them into categories as well: 1. Why is this point relevant? 2. And if no why not? 3. What's my problem back then/why have I taken this down back then?? 4. Any To-Do list? It became taxing too quick and I find myself mentally-physically drained, especially on No.3 where it requires me to think about the past. I've been living like a recluse refusing to step outside for as long as I do not complete this. I do not know if I am actually listening to my instinct this way or am I setting boundaries to myself by applying these filters, but I restarted over and over at least 10 times and even introducing a new method just to cause me more confusion - 'Cause, Effect, Objective, Problem, Solution'. And now its a huge mess, been 9 months and still getting nowhere. Thank you for those who stopped by my comment, took alot of courage for me to pen this
Visualize and focus on what can go right!
Thank you for caring about us to share this wisdom. Your channel has made a difference in my life.
I genuinely want to see you change your life for the better and I’m so happy this video reached you and is helping you do that Jen! Keep growing! If you have questions don’t hesitate to ask!
@@RonaldLBanks for sure! You are crystal clear. If I have questions, I will surely ask! Many thanks!😀
Best video of overthinking ever
Thank you!! Happy you enjoyed this! 🙌🏾
I have been journaling more and brain dumping and it relieves so much stress from my mind.Getting intentional with my day before the day starts helps me from overthinking.. I just remind myself of the intentions through the day.
Agreed! Sometimes it’s almost intrusive and that can be debilitating…..trust me
I love the James Thurber quote. And yes, I need to stop waiting for perfection. It's so hard, daily battle.
Hey Ronald, this is again beautifully timed for my current situation. I just did a brain dump of action items last week and I used the next categories:
Heart - things of which I feel they trigger strong emotional reactions
Sunshine - things of which I feel will bring me a lot of energy
Lightning - things of which I feel they will save me frustration when they are done
Thank you for sharing
Yo that Brain Dump concept is a GAME CHANGER! 🙌🏾
Face Everything And Rise. F E A R. You are so gifted with mnemonic devices. Best to all
This is such a good advice! I have been using a similar technique against overthinking for 3 or 4 years now and I can attest that it works. Also viewing life's obstacles in a positive way has helped me to stop overthinking and become more sophisticated in growing emotionally.
I now see countless opportunities for growth and change rather than only problems.
Life gives you lessons for a simple reason and the reason is that you'll have to grow.
For me it was is the biggest mindshift ever.
Ok please suggest that for me to
My counselor said I overthink everything, so this hits home. I qm going to practice brain dumps and asking myself if this will matter in X time
Overthinking is like an addiction. When you said how much will it matter next year… My thought is about a guy who I won’t even REMEMBER EXISTS a year from now! (A stranger.) But then it’s like I immediately try to think of excuses as to why I should still think about it. It’s sick and twisted why some of us to this to ourselves. 😡
You've had so many issues(?) that I can relate to, my problem was anxiety to be precise but it appears that my overthinking was tied to it as well.
Keep crankin' em out Ron and God bless.
Wade, To feel better reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breath and mind [brain] are closely related causing stress-anxiety. For a better life sit on a chair, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. Slowly the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. Change happens from within by itself. Day or night, when taking a walk, sitting in a park, when reading, at office, before sleep etc sit or lie down and observe your breath. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Reduce watching negative social media. Avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes. Senior Counsellor.
Fear of failure. It really hit me 🤯
There are nights I can't sleep and days I can hardly get work done due to overthinking. >
I got a video that can help on this as well ua-cam.com/video/WhPqcBwTHN0/v-deo.html
Thank you Ron! For my current situation, I think my first step would be to stay positive while thinking of solutions.
This is a great one! It’s all about building awareness to filter was is actually important right now. I didn’t think it was possible for me but I am now enjoying this newly discovered freedom. The challenge is truly in our minds. 🤗
I’ve begun to view overthinking or rather deep thinking as a gift from God that allows me to be innately introspective and more aware of my surroundings. Of course like you said, it needs to be done in a healthy manner and I’ve been able to notice when my deep thinking takes a negative turn and capture those thoughts.
You're great!!!! Thank You!!
Thank you!! I’m happy you found value in this video!
I've been over-thinker to Ronald
Meditation, breathing exercises and prayer so integral. Hydration is so vitally important to remember also.

@@RonaldLBanks Will do. Thanks for sharing your insight.
I’ve been redirecting my thoughts recently be the overthinking recently has been overwhelming so my next will be righting it down
My level of overthinking is so high that i was thinking of something else while watching this video 😂
Wow! Face Everything And Rise. You don’t know how much that impacted me just now. This is great content Ron. Watching all these motivational videos this week has been a huge eye opener for me. Thank you so much & God Bless ❤️

I will try to brain dump at night before bed. I thank God for your wisdom and your ability to share it with us!💓
Man, the empathy and soul in your voice. Bless you, brother!
Realize that I can't predict the future or change the past when you said it I felt something clicked I felt my mind felt save
It really helps me to brain dump,write things down, and put things into perspective. What's the worse that can happen? I like your categories idea.
This was so great. I need to listen to it again!
I’m glad this helped you Ann. I hope it continues to help as well!

Thank you so much for the quick reply. I will check it out, have a great day/night.
But seriously, thank you for this video, I’m trying to reasearch as much as I can so I can beat this overthinking stage of my life and videos like this really help.
I’m really happy this reached you my friend! I posted another video recently that continues this conversation. Here is a link in case you haven’t seen it: ua-cam.com/video/aXEi56pQT8c/v-deo.html
Over-analyzing is something I have worked on for years. I love the term you used "Brain dump",....and have developed a similar idea in that I write down all the things that are taking up too much of my "thought time" and recognize them for what they are. If they do not actually hold great value then I must let them go. It is imperative that I move forward in my thinking and life. Resting the mind, just like recovering time for the body after exercise is essential. I have found the UA-cam video by Guy Winch, "emotional hygiene" to be an excellent source of information on the subject.
Definitely helped
I’m glad this resonated with you!
Thank you for the video
I’m glad this reached you Chuck!
Made my day
I’m glad I had an opportunity to share this with you Santino!
Thank you for this.
I have a small sign that reads “My emotions are indicators, not dictators. “ It comes from the Proverbs 31 Bible study group online.
I believe that what you are saying is that being self-aware, we can live more productive and joyful lives.
I am aware of my overthinking and my emotions and am adapting my days accordingly.
Forgive me if
this is the wrong place to ask this question, I have searched and not found an answer.
I believe that you have said that your poetry is self-published. I am very interested in buying a book. Where might I purchase a copy?
Thank you for your openness and honesty. Your sharing is opening new lives to others.
I love that Linda! Keep that verse with you! As far as books, I currently don’t have any poetry books available at the moment. However I do plan to publish another in the future.
Thank you Ronald 🍃
After a successful investment , you have nothing to worry about whether rise or fall of the economy or anything won't affect you, make your future brighter by making good investment
yes that's true
Bitcoin is really profitable at these stage.
Bitcoin trading should be on the top list of every wise individual.
when I was in the whole comment I thought it was to collect money from people, until I was convinced and I tried investing $1000 and Mr George Harry made me a profit of $4700.
I invested $4000 and he made me a profit of $30,000 in just a space of 15 days thanks to
you Mr George Harry.....
I keep watching videos on UA-cam waisting my time on strategies but when I invested $2,000 and he made me profit of $14,000 just in 2 weeks I'm so happy trading with him...
Visualize what can go right, I am an over thinker to the max and it keeps me stagnant in my life. Human psychology and behavior is hands-down the most interesting thing to learn about, to think/(overthink overthinking) about, and my favorite topic to talk about! And as I dig into different philosophies of life, i’ve made several revelations about this process but still seem to get stuck. But for some reason you having said that about keeping what can go right front and center in your mind to avoid the spiraling negativity that comes from overthinking and analyzing, really just clicked with me. I was procrastinating getting ready while listening to you, and got up as soon as you started talking about that! Thank you I’m glad I found you. And I’ll definitely be sure to check out your other videos
Thank you, I needed to hear this today. I have been accused of over thinking things many time over.
I’m really happy this resonated with you Elle! I hope it continues to help you!
one of the best videos that i've ever seen
Thank you!! 🙌🏾
Thank you Ron
Over thinking is all I have been doing during this pandemic- many sleepless nights. Thanks for the tips Ronald. ❤️❤️❤️Your channel.
Always amazing! I do like the brain dump idea but specifically the categories.
Think if all the the things that will go right for me today. Be solution minded rather than reacting on emotions
Thank you, useful video 📸.
I’m glad you found value in this!
Thank you.
Thank you for this video. I've been struggling with this alot and the point about not losing my sanity over the past was something I needed to hear :) keep up the great content. I think you'll be very successful
Brain Dump without a doubt is helping right now. Just seeing everything laid out of what I’m thinking, does it matter, how will it effect me now/future really sheds some light on a lot of things thank you
I’m really happy this helped you my friend! Doing the brain dump exercise definitely helps a ton!
You talk so good not gonna lie
Your tone and everything to the camera is just perfect ❤️
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!
Thanks 🙏
Thanks a lot Ronald 🔥🔥 it’s about 3am and listening to this really gave me a peace of mind
Awesome! I’m glad this reached you my friend!
I want to thank you very much for this video. I struggle with my thoughts constantly, but now I've found a way to deal with it and not go crazy. Thanks a lot!
I will begin this week by visualizing my day positively. Maybe even the night before- like The Miracle Morning suggests.
In all honesty, the most helpful video for me personally that I've seen from you so far. Thank you
I’m happy I had the opportunity to share this with you my friend! Keep growing on your journey!
This is a Divine interaction because this is exactly what my Forex mentor shares with us in our Forex community. It can truly be applied to all aspects of our lives. Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for this
In my opinion your best video and most helpful to me. You really hit me. Discard, detach and perspective. Working on it. Thanks so much!!
You’re welcome Rafael! I’m glad I had an opportunity to share this with you. Keep growing!
Thank you for this, you really spoke to me fr! I am an engineer, musician, and day trader, I constantly find myself overthinking and attempting to perfect everything. However, the brain dump and waiting for perfection is what stood out to me the most. In addition, I need to gain comfort with being uncomfortable and the unknown because I cannot predict the future. I also need to execute more of my creative thoughts than being worried about what could go wrong and focus on what could go right. I definitely subscribed, and I will continue to tune in. Thanks for these steps, I wrote them down and my anxiety was cured just by watching this video as I have some upcoming interviews this week and next week. This video definitely will help me to maintain my composure and aim for the heights. Thank you once again!
Thanks Ronald L.Banks ❤❤
Thank You Ron, will keep in mind all the points!
Thank you so much Ron you are amazing! I’m so happy I found your channel! I am going to start with putting all my worries into categories
