Bc we all need a vacation. It's not about escaping but way more about mental health. Yeah, some use it as an escape, but I'd say more use it as a mental health thing.
Hard work is code for work i would never do and youre too dumb to figure out a better way. A hard worker is code for someone dumb enough to put their all into a job that has no care about you. Someone who is obligated to work because they no longer care about their health and it's all about numbers for obligations.
Exactly! I've been on that end of working my ass off only to not be successful at what I was shooting for. While I've seen other people trying to get to the same place and hard work wasn't what got them to their destination.
What gets me is that people in other countries can have very little and be happy, and yet, people here in The West can have so much more and be miserable. It's insane to me. Give me a coffee, a book, or a slice of cheesecake and I'm the happiest man alive.
I don't think there's been a less spiritual and more materialistic time in all human history, at least for the common man, than what we're living today in the western capitalist world.
I had an epiphany one day while I was cutting grass and thought to myself, “there’s got to be more to retirement than cutting grass, home maintenance, etc, “ so I decided to put house on the market and go out and enjoy life.
Tim you said it!!! I’m 37 and going through a mid life crisis! It’s like I woke up one day and was just miserable. I realized I’ve spent my life so focused on working and making my way up the ladder that I forgot to live. Now I’m so upset and I want to just quit my job and do something crazy and live! It’s so true. That tug in your heart of “ I don’t want to live this life anymore I want to do what I want to do!!!” Not just go along with society’s stupid rules!!!!!! I’m so frustrated now. But because of your videos I’m slowly making changes now! Thank you!!!
Just quit job, and go for something new. Always always you can come back to what you were doing? Right? Make changes ✨️ or we all will wake-up at 70s old and then will be no energy for doing something crazy 😜
You are gifted to have this mindset of following the path of a minimalist, some like to be Hermits . This is crucial coz we don't need much however ,remaining single for life is the key to this path of life .
What you said is so true. That’s how people remain miserable and stuck. People often times fail to do their own research. Life is easy, humans make it hard.
Is life really easy though? We struggle to survive for basic necessities. That in return brings in stress, anxiety, and fear. Living a single life is expensive if you don't have friends or a spouse, the cost of living is hard so it's hard to raise families, and work eats away a lot of time in people. If life was simple, more people would be happy in this world. You can only find temporary relief from the world, and how you make your days count is up to the individual. So no, life is not simple I'm afraid. You still have to do things and struggle to live your life like the rest of us. Finding a bit of comfort and optimism is fine as it provides positivity, but we all have to endure reality for what it is and we can't change the world around us.
I feel like I’m constantly looking for the right career for me and it’s a never ending cycle because I’m always changing my mind the only job that really seems to interest me is a park police officer or park ranger just so I can be outside in nature apart of me is torn though because I want to make good money so I can buy a house etc I just wish there was no such thing as money so we could really live how were supposed to
I think what we all long for is exactly that. To live in nature and be free. To have the resources we desire readily available to us. Like an apple tree for example. To catch fish to eat. To go hunting. To grow crops to eat. All these things used to be free. In this society, however, we can have all these things sure, but we have to work for it. We have to work these jobs that we don't like so we can obtain these resources like food and water even. Whereas all of these things used to be readily available to humans in nature. It's a messed up system. Government 'owns' all resources and requires we work for it. It shouldn't be that way.
Just stick with being a park ranger or park police & make a lot of money to buy your house. These are great ideas. Write them down, look at them each day, & accomplish your goals. I'm here supporting you.
I’m an attorney w/ a successful law firm. I love what I do. I also work unbelievably hard w/ what seems like very little time to take care of me & do what makes me happy. I go on vacation now to sleep-which is ridiculous. Lately, I’ve been feeling an insurmountable sense of dissatisfaction w/ my life. If it weren’t for this video, I don’t think I would have been able to pinpoint the problem. I’m not happy b/c I’m not doing what makes me happy. So, now I work on finding a balance w/ practicing law, working w/ charities around the globe, helping others, and having tons of fun doing the things that bring me joy. Thank you for this video. It was basic, raw, straightforward, & just what I needed ❤
I realized early that working 60 or more hours a week just so I can afford more stuff is not the way to live. I have not worked over 40 hours in a long time. I bought a small home I can afford and I live within my means. The idea that I would work 60 hours a week just to have a bigger house or a better car never was a thing for me.
I wish I could just quit my business but my husband always makes me feel guilty about me wanting to abandon our business. The thing is I hate waking up everyday and going to these businesses. I feel this void in my heart and crying out for help. I just think about my nine year old son and feel that I would be disappointing him. But to be honest I'm so miserable😢
Bless you. We all do our best especially when we have responsibilities. It’s not so easy to just leave when ur unhappy. Maybe you could gradually reduce your time spent at the businesses or find a replacement for you. Freeing you up to do what you would really like.❤
Pray to Jesus . He will make a way for you! He doesn’t want his daughters working jobs when they gave husbands!!! Atleast work from home seems ideal for you. Doing something u enjoy.!
I understand the pressure to conform and meet the expectation of others. We have to start living for ourselves and be true to who we are. So much indoctrination to live the status quo.
A MESSAGE!I just donate plasma for a living. No kids. My only bills are a gym membership,cell phone,and storage. I just sleep at the airport. I'm in South Florida and go to the beach everyday
I'm sure glad I'm not bored, sad and miserable. I'm not one for going anywhere. I have everything I need right where I am. I live off grid out in the middle of nowhere in my Airstream with my dogs and cat. Life is great, no more angry alcoholic to criticize and hurt me. Just me and mine in nature
We keep adding layers to our existence thinking the next layer will make us feel complete when all we are doing is trapping ourselves from being fulfilled and happy with all this extra baggage.
I'm 24, still figuring out what I want to do (just got out of college and living with my mom). But what I do know is that I don't wanna live like a lot of people that I know, living miserably, doing shit they don't want to, so they can fit in this criteria of being socially succesfull and not falling behind. I want a peacefull life that I can share with loved ones
A day of solitude, sat in a forest at the foot of a mountain, listening to the wind blow through the pines, watching the cloud formations, hearing the birds, the insects, the water...This will teach you more than any Netflix series or anxiety enducing news channel
True. I spent Memorial Day near a playground. Listening to the birds, feeling the breeze, just being. I was so happy and content. I wish that I could enjoy it every day.
I needed this talk in my teens and 20s. I'm in my mid-thirties. I went to college and grad school because I was conditioned to not because I wanted to. I finished all school by 24. By 25 it was working, climbing up "success." I realized that it was pointless. I just wanted to be financially independent and travel the world. Some people may not be able to have their dream job. Sometimes we can change our mindset on things. I find joy in spirituality. To me happiness is knowing the creator and his will.
That's just good old fashioned common sense.... People today don't understand that... They have been assimilated into a false reality... People don't know how to love each other... Too much emphasis is put on acquisition and ego gratification.... Sad, but true, People never miss the water until their well has run dry... Thanks...
Thats because no one on the planet is doing their true purpose....we not supposed to be working on a job. Our job is to take care of this planet the humans on it and the animals
Spot on. We were meant to be stewards of this planet and the life on it. Instead we exploit and destroy it to enrich ourselves & for short term profits at the expense of future generations. While the story is not yet finished, Humanity is, by my observation, a failed species.
Social media made it 10x times worse there was a time people would get a small ass apartment like the tv show Martin lol an have the best years ever but now everybody want this big house make over 100k travel they need to stop with social media goals an have your own goals nothing wrong with striving for more but appreciate what you have an live the life you want cause at the end of the day don’t take none of this too serious we can’t take it with us…i be having such a blast n life I been stop caring about my age that’s another bad thing I see people do …I’ll never stop having fun an long as I’m healthy I’m working out ..live y’all
Even if you have health problems, go anyway to do things you want, for you ain’t promised tomorrow. If it’s health bills, well pay them $5 at a time. In the end they can’t get the money off you , if you in the graveyard. Live life on your terms. Get off the hamster wheel. Good luck everyone, Tim is a good inspirational speaker.
I used to be miserable, right now im going through alot of shit,but I'm starting to find some peace with finally starting to find some peace of mind ,when I started to understand that just accept things you can't change
For me: I had to reinstate the fact that nothing is in my control. I only control how I respond to situations that are unpleasant. Since the pandemic, my life has declined socially, and that has affected me personally. Three years later, I am attempting to pull back on the reigns and live a slower paced, uncomplicated, and grounded life. Enjoying the small things that brings me peace and joy. My current job is very fast-paced, unorganized, and stress filled. Home life is routine, which becomes tedious and boring. Sleep is my fun, so I know I am dealing with some low levels of depression... yet I am working on it. Life is short, and we do not know our checkout time. I say live honestly, face adversity head on, live simply, and be your biggest support and caregiver, and you will almost want for nothing. Find pleasure in the small things and laugh often. There are enough bitter, angry, ugly spirited people out here! So, don't join the cult! Lastly, if you have a loved one(s) in your life, tell them you care, please.. We all need reassurance at some point! 💜
I wish I knew what I wanted to do in life, I do have hobbies that I enjoy, but that cost a little $, but traveling not so much, seeing the grand canyon or going to Hawaii doesn't mean much to me, I happy just being at home, I worked 2 jobs for 20 yrs, the 2nd job was a side business a lawn service, last yr I broke my wrist & I had to quit it , & looking back I wasted all those years for a little money, man I could have tried other ways to a better career or something else, but I'm totally out of debt, owe no one except taxes & utilities & food, I'm not rich with money but rich in freedom, at this moment I'm searching for a job that pays the most without a whole lot work or less days, I've been watching a lot of your videos & they make a lot of sense! You being single does bring more freedom or choices, but I'm married so not much freedom or choices, I'm happy to a degree just need that job I was talking about!
During the so called pandemic I noticed how free will can be taken, and how people believe what they are told. I was one of them, but gosh that woke me up big style, and since that awakening I have full on changed my life. Mandates, forced and shamed into choices did not sit right with me and it’s been the best thing to have happened to me. God has my back
I was very grateful that my mid life crisis started around 29-30yrs young. I don't know where I would be at if I stayed mentally in that old state of mind.
I am 65 years, ten months and 19 days as of my comments. I appreciate the breathing abilities God gave me. When one of my nostrils is stopped up, I pause and slow down and think how wonderful to still have breathing abilities. Midlife crisis is not something I ever had to concern myself with. The many experiences I have encountered allowed me to be thankful for. Singing, dancing, laughing, loving, smiling are some of my gifts from God. Having the ability to think outside the box made me who I am these days and times. Having 10 siblings and each of them doing what they chose, allowed me to do what I thought of doing. Not following any set of ways and choosing my own ways from the free will God gave me, gave me strength, determination, patience, confidence. The rat race is what I have always avoided. Why? Because I never put the energy in trying to even go to a finish line. While that might seem to be lazy, that attitude and mindset allowed me to take my time and enjoy life that much more. Having lots of material things and not taking great care of them is most definitely a waste of life, time. Taking great care of myself keeping it seriously simple aka KISS made my life worth living. What good is having anything if a person does not care to properly take care of it? What good is a huge house if a person dos not have the time to clean it? What good is a house if a person does not know what to do in it? Looking back on my six plus decades on this earth, I am grateful to be able to wake up thinking and knowing I am still alive. Money? What good is it if it is not utilized for the wellbeing of self? Too much money, too much material things most definitely creates misery. Ask yourself, are you happy with yourself without money or material things? If not, then having those things will not make you happy. Happiness comes from within. External things comes and goes and does not last forever. Even happiness does not last forever. Happiness comes and goes. Having a sense of balance makes all the difference. Being happy with and without reduces misery. Thanks for reading my comments. As long as I have breathing abilities, I look forward to appreciating everything, everyone God created. Smiles
Thanks for sharing! Amazing comment i can relate to his so much, may everyone find balance and contentment in their lives! Life alone is extraordinary if we see it that way. Stay well everyone!
This is pretty much the only life lesson people really need. Life is as simple as it gets. But the world is loud. So loud in fact that people can’t even hear themselves. So we become victims of ourselves and live in constant action, and reaction. We need to slow down and listen a little harder.
Tim, not that I’m trying to come on to you, sir, but since I just bought a PINK DRESS yesterday, I just had to tune into your video! 😂 You’re on point as usual. 👏🏽
Walking the other day I observed an older woman sitting in her garage in a wheelchair unhappy.. I kept saying to myself I don’t want to end up like that!
At 48 mid-life crisis hit me hard and unexpectedly. I am still going through it. Your and other people's videos helped me a lot. Don't overthink, be in the moment, and listen to what your brain and body are telling. Mine was clearly screaming "slow down, live a little"
The main thing people are repetedly told to do is…buying something. Radio, television, internet and so on is geared to tell you to buy something if you wNt to be happy. That’s it, that’s the problem, that’s the race.
You singing my tune my friend. I’m struggling with a lot of what you speak. Am I happy? Mostly…but I’ve spent most of my adult life revolving my worth around work and providing for my family. Is that important, absolutely…but I am realizing more and more that life is about living. So I am putting less emphasis on my work and more on enjoying time with my family and being present. I enjoy your content and is therapy for many. Thanks 👊🏼
Its unfortunate that most people have that epiphany late in life, usually 40+ after a lot of heartache and pain in our early years grinding away at things that have very little meaning to us, and most will consider it to late to change now, so back they go into the rat race
It's taken me almost 60 years to figure just the basic shit out. Seems too late now for the life I really wanted. I missed a lot of great opportunities earlier in life.
For the past several years I have been setting my life up to do the thing I really love, earn money from it, surround myself with like-minded people, and have something to leave for anyone who comes behind me (so that hopefully they can have an opportunity to live life on their own terms from an earlier age and avoid this trap you're talking about). I have had to remove some folks from my life in order to get to this point, but sometimes that's just what you have to do to live the life you need and want to live for yourself. Just one word of advice to any younger folks watching. Give yourself a certain amount of time to live and be alone. It can be incredibly difficult to figure out who you are, who you want to be, and how you want to live when there is always someone else's voice chiming in, or someone else's ideas and opinions you're basing your life around. It really is in the silence of solitude that we have a chance to hear OURSELVES and what we want and need. You don't have to do it for years if you don't want to, but give it at least a year. Invest a year completely in yourself to learn who you are when no one else is paying the bills or pulling the strings. You learn a lot about your strengths and weaknesses, preferences, and what you bring to the table this way.
I think that parents need to be more honest about the hardships and difficulties that they face, because the next generation is growing up, thinking that being a parent is like a sitcom. What they think they are going to get and what they actually get is very different sometimes.
Just wanted to say I felt pretty down today as I woke up early for my 9-5 but watched a bunch of ur vids cause I knew they’d get me back on the right track and they did. I thank you for that… SO GRATEFUL I found ur page a couple years ago
I agree, I started taking control over my life, its not where I want it but slowly moving in the that direction. I want to be able to draw, practice music more. But I know how you feel, life is simple, when you know what you want and do it. I had a few moments where I just had to stop and give thanks.
This was one of the realest videos! I really needed to hear this today Tim so many facts. I felt a weight lifting off my shoulders with this one!! Thank you my man
IMO age is just a measurement of how long you've been alive, even that doesn't matter with most things. Tim I'm with you on no longer keeping track of someone's age. Kudos bruv!
When you set out to accomplish nothing, yet experience everything within yourself, yep I'm there and it has nothing to do with what anyone else is doing. Thanks Tim 💫
Married 18 years. Retired military. Mortgage. Workin on old cars as a hobby. Very low overhead. I drive charter buses on the side just to have sumthin to do. Life ain't bad.
Loved to listen, as usual 🙂 I believe, and have experienced, that people fear what's different. I can't understand it. What would life be if we were all the same, if things were all the same?? Imagine all trees were Beech - how boring would that be?? Life is about vibrant variety. God is about vibrant variety!
Tim, I've just started recently to listen to your videos and wise words of advice and encouragement. I want you to know you bring me to tears and have opened so many possibilities for me and changed the way I now view the world - for the better! To say Thank you doesn't seem adequate. But you have changed my life, so thank you past the moonand the stars!!!
“Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don’t need to escape from.”
Cost of living is high no matter who you are.
This right here is the best comment ever!
That’s sounds great. How do I do that?
Bc we all need a vacation. It's not about escaping but way more about mental health. Yeah, some use it as an escape, but I'd say more use it as a mental health thing.
It's a necessity. It's about health. 100% health.
The biggest lie we have been told is that hard work equals success
So true!!!!
Hard work is code for work i would never do and youre too dumb to figure out a better way. A hard worker is code for someone dumb enough to put their all into a job that has no care about you. Someone who is obligated to work because they no longer care about their health and it's all about numbers for obligations.
Exactly, is not the hard work is the work in joy and love
Everyone said work hard
Nobody said work with love
Which is a success itself
@@Roquea.207 beautifully said :)
Exactly! I've been on that end of working my ass off only to not be successful at what I was shooting for. While I've seen other people trying to get to the same place and hard work wasn't what got them to their destination.

Give me a coffee, a book, or a slice of cheesecake and I'm the happiest man alive.
And a hammock 😀
Same! Coffee and a good book is all I need to be happy!
For that reason, that's why some people move out of the country.
I just want to work less and get by.
Only the healthy and or wealthy are truly happy. Living in a cold climate is not good for anyone that is not healthy.
For most people it's all about getting validation from other human beings in this life. I could care less...I just wanna relax and be free.
This!
Humans are fake
Oh to be financially independent. The ability to control your own time is money’s greatest dividend.
You mean, you could not care less...
@@olilumgbalu5653thankyou! That triggered me so hard
Also, the problem is too much materialism and egotism, and not enough spirituality 😇
Exactly 💯

I don't think there's been a less spiritual and more materialistic time in all human history, at least for the common man, than what we're living today in the western capitalist world.

"It's only wasting life if you're not living it uniquely for yourself." Tim
We have realized that this life that they’ve sold us is really empty.
A good strategy is to look at your own life and try to live it in a way that will both baffle and piss off the majority of your peers and elders.
Another source of unhappiness is comparison.
I was born naturally a minimalist. Since I could remember I only wanted the basics. No more no less🤙🏼
Same for me. Curious why I was born in western capitalist society because I'm the exact opposite. I loath the values of western society.
literally and figuratively.
Same!
You are gifted to have this mindset of following the path of a minimalist, some like to be Hermits .
This is crucial coz we don't need much however ,remaining single for life is the key to this path of life .
“Just keep telling humans something multiple times and they’ll believe it”.
Absolutely
Plandemic anyone? "Safe & effective"? Rrright.
Repeat a lie several times and it will become true eventually
This guy is on the path to be remembered as a great philosopher years from now.

The title of this video really resonates with me - I hate all the dumb shit I have to do everyday

The last time I truly enjoyed life was when I were healthy
I've been going through a midlife crisis since I was 15.
I realized early that working 60 or more hours a week just so I can afford more stuff is not the way to live. I have not worked over 40 hours in a long time. I bought a small home I can afford and I live within my means.
The idea that I would work 60 hours a week just to have a bigger house or a better car never was a thing for me.
You shouldn't work 60 hours a week. It's bad for your health.
I wish I could just quit my business but my husband always makes me feel guilty about me wanting to abandon our business. The thing is I hate waking up everyday and going to these businesses.

m.l.k. said the only way to truly live free is to overcome your love for wealth and the fear of death. wishing you the best.
Without money there is no love for life trust me I'm barely here as is give me some money I might feel better martin Luther king hahahahahaha.
@@areuarealman7269 wealth refers to abundance. you can want money though
I needed this talk in my teens and 20s. I'm in my mid-thirties. I went to college and grad school because I was conditioned to not because I wanted to. I finished all school by 24. By 25 it was working, climbing up "success." I realized that it was pointless. I just wanted to be financially independent and travel the world. Some people may not be able to have their dream job. Sometimes we can change our mindset on things. I find joy in spirituality. To me happiness is knowing the creator and his will.
That's just good old fashioned common sense....
People today don't understand that...
They have been assimilated into a false reality...
People don't know how to love each other...
Too much emphasis is put on acquisition and ego gratification....
Sad, but true, People never miss the water until their well has run dry...
Thanks...
Spot on truth.
This is exactly what has caused me to soul search recently. Following society rules and now I have to learn who I am and what I want in life
So true that's why I stay to myself no drama 💯
⭐️ *_Tim, you truly are changing and saving ppl's lives, literally!_* ⭐️
Not really though
@@jenpogue6089Yes, really though.
Haha. How's he saving people's lives?
Thats because no one on the planet is doing their true purpose....we not supposed to be working on a job. Our job is to take care of this planet the humans on it and the animals
Spot on. We were meant to be stewards of this planet and the life on it. Instead we exploit and destroy it to enrich ourselves & for short term profits at the expense of future generations. While the story is not yet finished, Humanity is, by my observation, a failed species.
THiS video is just one example of why i will always come back to your channel, for years and years, as long as you keep one.
I appreciate you sticking around for so long Terri!
@@TimothyWard Always!!!!
Social media made it 10x times worse there was a time people would get a small ass apartment like the tv show Martin lol an have the best years ever but now everybody want this big house make over 100k travel they need to stop with social media goals an have your own goals nothing wrong with striving for more but appreciate what you have an live the life you want cause at the end of the day don’t take none of this too serious we can’t take it with us…i be having such a blast n life I been stop caring about my age that’s another bad thing I see people do …I’ll never stop having fun an long as I’m healthy I’m working out ..live y’all
Even if you have health problems, go anyway to do things you want, for you ain’t promised tomorrow. If it’s health bills, well pay them $5 at a time. In the end they can’t get the money off you , if you in the graveyard. Live life on your terms. Get off the hamster wheel. Good luck everyone, Tim is a good inspirational speaker.
I used to be miserable, right now im going through alot of shit,but I'm starting to find some peace with finally starting to find some peace of mind ,when I started to understand that just accept things you can't change
True
For me: I had to reinstate the fact that nothing is in my control. I only control how I respond to situations that are unpleasant. Since the pandemic, my life has declined socially, and that has affected me personally. Three years later, I am attempting to pull back on the reigns and live a slower paced, uncomplicated, and grounded life. Enjoying the small things that brings me peace and joy. My current job is very fast-paced, unorganized, and stress filled. Home life is routine, which becomes tedious and boring. Sleep is my fun, so I know I am dealing with some low levels of depression... yet I am working on it. Life is short, and we do not know our checkout time. I say live honestly, face adversity head on, live simply, and be your biggest support and caregiver, and you will almost want for nothing. Find pleasure in the small things and laugh often. There are enough bitter, angry, ugly spirited people out here! So, don't join the cult! Lastly, if you have a loved one(s) in your life, tell them you care, please.. We all need reassurance at some point! 💜
You have the power to manifest and make changes ❤
Great comment
I wish I knew what I wanted to do in life, I do have hobbies that I enjoy, but that cost a little $, but traveling not so much, seeing the grand canyon or going to Hawaii doesn't mean much to me, I happy just being at home, I worked 2 jobs for 20 yrs, the 2nd job was a side business a lawn service, last yr I broke my wrist & I had to quit it , & looking back I wasted all those years for a little money, man I could have tried other ways to a better career or something else, but I'm totally out of debt, owe no one except taxes & utilities & food, I'm not rich with money but rich in freedom, at this moment I'm searching for a job that pays the most without a whole lot work or less days, I've been watching a lot of your videos & they make a lot of sense! You being single does bring more freedom or choices, but I'm married so not much freedom or choices, I'm happy to a degree just need that job I was talking about!
Same for me. I'm 59 and it's never been clear to me what to do with this life.
During the so called pandemic I noticed how free will can be taken, and how people believe what they are told. I was one of them, but gosh that woke me up big style, and since that awakening I have full on changed my life. Mandates, forced and shamed into choices did not sit right with me and it’s been the best thing to have happened to me. God has my back
I was very grateful that my mid life crisis started around 29-30yrs young. I don't know where I would be at if I stayed mentally in that old state of mind.
I love the way you think,I've been telling my son that too,that life is easy humans are the ones that make it hard!
I am 65 years, ten months and 19 days as of my comments. I appreciate the breathing abilities God gave me. When one of my nostrils is stopped up, I pause and slow down and think how wonderful to still have breathing abilities. Midlife crisis is not something I ever had to concern myself with. The many experiences I have encountered allowed me to be thankful for. Singing, dancing, laughing, loving, smiling are some of my gifts from God. Having the ability to think outside the box made me who I am these days and times. Having 10 siblings and each of them doing what they chose, allowed me to do what I thought of doing. Not following any set of ways and choosing my own ways from the free will God gave me, gave me strength, determination, patience, confidence. The rat race is what I have always avoided. Why? Because I never put the energy in trying to even go to a finish line. While that might seem to be lazy, that attitude and mindset allowed me to take my time and enjoy life that much more. Having lots of material things and not taking great care of them is most definitely a waste of life, time. Taking great care of myself keeping it seriously simple aka KISS made my life worth living. What good is having anything if a person does not care to properly take care of it? What good is a huge house if a person dos not have the time to clean it? What good is a house if a person does not know what to do in it? Looking back on my six plus decades on this earth, I am grateful to be able to wake up thinking and knowing I am still alive. Money? What good is it if it is not utilized for the wellbeing of self? Too much money, too much material things most definitely creates misery. Ask yourself, are you happy with yourself without money or material things? If not, then having those things will not make you happy. Happiness comes from within. External things comes and goes and does not last forever. Even happiness does not last forever. Happiness comes and goes. Having a sense of balance makes all the difference. Being happy with and without reduces misery. Thanks for reading my comments. As long as I have breathing abilities, I look forward to appreciating everything, everyone God created. Smiles
Thanks for sharing! Amazing comment i can relate to his so much, may everyone find balance and contentment in their lives! Life alone is extraordinary if we see it that way. Stay well everyone!

Hey Tim! I wore pink today 🌸🌸🌸
you spoke truth, man
God first, return to God y'all...then you'll have 'peace which surpasses all understanding"
This is pretty much the only life lesson people really need. Life is as simple as it gets. But the world is loud. So loud in fact that people can’t even hear themselves. So we become victims of ourselves and live in constant action, and reaction. We need to slow down and listen a little harder.
Tim, not that I’m trying to come on to you, sir, but since I just bought a PINK DRESS yesterday, I just had to tune into your video! 😂 You’re on point as usual. 👏🏽
I knew you had good taste!!!
Cool 😎
Walking the other day I observed an older woman sitting in her garage in a wheelchair unhappy.. I kept saying to myself I don’t want to end up like that!

At 48 mid-life crisis hit me hard and unexpectedly. I am still going through it. Your and other people's videos helped me a lot. Don't overthink, be in the moment, and listen to what your brain and body are telling. Mine was clearly screaming "slow down, live a little"
U feel you have another 50 years at least?
We are all less bored, less miserable and less unhappy if we have good lives.
Why don't we live like any creature in this planet? Why we make everything complicated each year! Yep i understand your philosophy!
Yes, live your life and nobody's else's. Stay in your lane and run your race. 😊
Tim has a knack of grounding us. Reminding us, and questioning why we are here , and what we may REALLY want from our precious lives.
I’m so glad I found your channel
Your messages speak volumes to me
You are fast becoming my favourite UA-cam creator. Why don’t I know anyone I can chat with who has your insight!
The truly awakened are few & far between in clown world.
The main thing people are repetedly told to do is…buying something. Radio, television, internet and so on is geared to tell you to buy something if you wNt to be happy. That’s it, that’s the problem, that’s the race.
You singing my tune my friend. I’m struggling with a lot of what you speak. Am I happy? Mostly…but I’ve spent most of my adult life revolving my worth around work and providing for my family. Is that important, absolutely…but I am realizing more and more that life is about living. So I am putting less emphasis on my work and more on enjoying time with my family and being present.
I enjoy your content and is therapy for many. Thanks 👊🏼
You should create a journal that helps people to process making their life more meaningful.
Thank you Tim you have revived my faith in humanity
You are like an oasis in the desert, giving off refreshing vibes!
The good weather add to your positivity
I agree! 👍🏾
Its unfortunate that most people have that epiphany late in life, usually 40+ after a lot of heartache and pain in our early years grinding away at things that have very little meaning to us, and most will consider it to late to change now, so back they go into the rat race
It's taken me almost 60 years to figure just the basic shit out. Seems too late now for the life I really wanted. I missed a lot of great opportunities earlier in life.
For the past several years I have been setting my life up to do the thing I really love, earn money from it, surround myself with like-minded people, and have something to leave for anyone who comes behind me (so that hopefully they can have an opportunity to live life on their own terms from an earlier age and avoid this trap you're talking about). I have had to remove some folks from my life in order to get to this point, but sometimes that's just what you have to do to live the life you need and want to live for yourself.
Just one word of advice to any younger folks watching. Give yourself a certain amount of time to live and be alone. It can be incredibly difficult to figure out who you are, who you want to be, and how you want to live when there is always someone else's voice chiming in, or someone else's ideas and opinions you're basing your life around. It really is in the silence of solitude that we have a chance to hear OURSELVES and what we want and need. You don't have to do it for years if you don't want to, but give it at least a year. Invest a year completely in yourself to learn who you are when no one else is paying the bills or pulling the strings. You learn a lot about your strengths and weaknesses, preferences, and what you bring to the table this way.
You seem like a pretty wise and sweet woman. Thanks for the advice.
I think that parents need to be more honest about the hardships and difficulties that they face, because the next generation is growing up, thinking that being a parent is like a sitcom. What they think they are going to get and what they actually get is very different sometimes.
I hope you live for many more decades to come, Tim. You are really helping me see the world from a new perspective, I swear!
Just wanted to say I felt pretty down today as I woke up early for my 9-5 but watched a bunch of ur vids cause I knew they’d get me back on the right track and they did. I thank you for that… SO GRATEFUL I found ur page a couple years ago
Best channel on UA-cam for this kind of content.
Thank you! 👍🏾
“If” is the middle word in life.
This hit me really hard... thank you Tim 🙌🏾 ❤

I agree, I started taking control over my life, its not where I want it but slowly moving in the that direction. I want to be able to draw, practice music more. But I know how you feel, life is simple, when you know what you want and do it. I had a few moments where I just had to stop and give thanks.
This was one of the realest videos! I really needed to hear this today Tim so many facts. I felt a weight lifting off my shoulders with this one!! Thank you my man
IMO age is just a measurement of how long you've been alive, even that doesn't matter with most things. Tim I'm with you on no longer keeping track of someone's age. Kudos bruv!
I am afraid and thats why i do and many people are afraid and that's why they dont do.
Thanks Tim, this is great to think about 😊
When you set out to accomplish nothing, yet experience everything within yourself, yep I'm there and it has nothing to do with what anyone else is doing. Thanks Tim 💫
Married 18 years. Retired military. Mortgage. Workin on old cars as a hobby.

Life ain't bad.
This is so real. Thanks for sharing
“Don’t keep track of your age”. I like that Tim!!
Loved to listen, as usual 🙂 I believe, and have experienced, that people fear what's different. I can't understand it. What would life be if we were all the same, if things were all the same?? Imagine all trees were Beech - how boring would that be?? Life is about vibrant variety. God is about vibrant variety!
This hits “home” HARD…. I dont even comment but you are my “sign” lol thank you!
Okay, now you've won me over. I really used to question your channel up till now
Tim always with the epic pep talks. 😄🙌🏾 Thank u, my friend. 🙏🏾
Tim, I've just started recently to listen to your videos and wise words of advice and encouragement. I want you to know you bring me to tears and have opened so many possibilities for me and changed the way I now view the world - for the better! To say Thank you doesn't seem adequate. But you have changed my life, so thank you past the moonand the stars!!!
I’m so happy that my videos could have such a positive impact on your worldview! You’re welcome! And thanks for taking the time to say hello! 👋🏾
Tim you have a very good understanding of this life we're all living.✅✅✅
Appreciate this message! ❤

Great Lesson Timothy! Thank you so so much!!! Smiles...

I've been really enjoying these videos stumbled on them accidentally. Didn't know I needed this man's insight
Same. Wish I had found him sooner.
You don't lol.
