I love every video you post my friend. You have given me much and continue to give much. I hope that some day I meet you, for you seem a man of great thought and wide knowledge. I wish you forward on your journey.

You know what gets me, I've been thinking these things for years but haven't changed anything, allowing the business of university to mask it. It's not the first time I've realised my previous thoughts on the matter were correct. It's a shame that I haven't trusted myself and delayed action for so long. I think I'll be rewatching this one often. Thank you. Would you be inclined in doing a video on self-trust/doubt?
Thank you! I think the Danby painting is missing from the link ( the one at 07.40)
Heed these words, fellas.
I've been following the path of death since graduating secondary school.
I'm now 33 and it really is an awful life not to be moving forward.
I'm doing something about it now, and hopefully this year I'll be accepted onto an apprenticeship.
My changes made are largely due to these videos. They have made me aware of things I didn't know were problems, or even existed.
I just thought I was doomed.
I sure hope these topics will be taught in schools someday.
It would be nice to know nobody else falls into this crack.
Godspeed!
It's been 9 months since you posted this, how are you doing now?
@@vantage789 thank you for asking, Michael.
I did not get accepted onto the apprenticeship.
And I am still struggling to find and keep a job.
But I'm still learning of all the things that have been holding me back. And finding it difficult to take that first step towards growth, which is learning to say no to certain things.
I'm pretty passive-aggressive.
And I find assertiveness difficult to cultivate.
@@sasquatchsiosaurus Stay strong and keep at it mate
@@sasquatchsiosaurus✌️
Only if this was taught in school. We'd have brilliant minds everywhere. Thank you for this invalueble video.
an educated population is a dangerous one
seven nah, succeeding generations became more educated but are they becoming more dangerous than previous ones? For examples, are we dangerous to our parents? Grand parents? If yes, in what way? What you are thinking is wrong, or maybe you are thinking we are becoming more dangerous to our own planet, then may be yes but that is not what the video is all about. Being educated of this topic in the video is just part of evolution and betterment of mankind.
@@formula1340 sure, they may be becoming more educated but they're also becoming more demoralized. Without motivation that education means nothing.
@@formula1340 an educated population is only dangerous to scummy politicians and other uneducated people.
Screw school and teach yourself and tell your kids to read when you have taught them how to read. My parents read books to me and then paid me 5 bucks an hour to read and that was my allowance not wasted time on chores or free money and I learned much more than anything I could have ever learned from school on my own.
I think I watched this video when it came out...it hits different after 2 years of growth. A list of changes I've made in my life would be too long. I'm happy now (:
Congrats, it’s rare so one comes back and comments with good news. I hope to be one of em. Be good
Im so happy for you
Wish you a happy journey ahead!
CHANGE IS INEVITABLE
In other words: Act, ACt, ACT!!
wow..... i have started to become self aware and by seeing who i am i wanted to change it, thats why i found this channel. this is the missing key. it explains alot of my problems. one of them is that i now know who i am and i know what i want to be but i didnt know the path to take to get there. thank you for this.
Most people don't have a clear direction. It can be found within themselves but usually they need a mentor, teacher, or a guide to help draw it out of them. When you're already hurting, it can be difficult to take meaningful and purposeful action because you're so focused on the validation of others to show the way instead of knowing and acting in alignment with your values.
The importance of change and channelizing towards a purposeful actualization is very well narrated. Mostly surrounding Abraham Maslow. But other major figures reflections were also well included. Can be watched when you are trying to accomplish something that is bigger than your actual capabilities. Visting after an year or so again. Thank dear Academy of Ideas folks.
I so needed to hear this today. Feeling a little lost these days. Life threw a curve ball I wasn't expecting & in a blink my whole environment changed forever! More than I am comfortable with.
You'll get back on track . Have faith , it will all be ok 💚
1.2 million views. I am VERY happy that such an important video was views by more than 1 million people. This video is transformative if applied. Literally 360 degrees brothers and sisters, if you ACT. NOW.
This video is the story of my life. I cannot believe that in this juncture of my life when i am not sure what to do next and feel guilty of many things, I have found this video so accurately defining what is wrong with me and how to cure it. Thanks
This ended on a very eerie, dark tone...very much needed.
I think that this is the most important and effective approach to life that I have discovered so far! I just wish that I had found it a lot earlier in life, as I have been despressed for most of it.
My advice: accept things as they are - especially if you can't change them - and do something useful or interesting. That really does work, in my experience.
Bon Voyage!

“Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing - where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger; which he knows he was meant and made to do.”
[ Phillips Brooks ]
You are presenting concepts here as if EVERYONE knew them. But many of them took me years to realize and NO ONE could tell me.
"Finding your passion through thought alone is often a fruitless endeavor. Only through the attainment of skill can we uncover what our passion could be. Therefore it is much more useful to simply pursue an area that spikes curiosity and uncover one's passion along the path."
Underrated... deserved to have more followers.
I needed this slap in the face. Thanks for the video.
I'm at my last year of high school and only came to realise this year that all my anxiety was due my fear of change. All the good things that happened during this time were when I accepted the risk of failing and just did my best. It's always easier than we expected.
Thank you for this video. It enlightened me a lot. This gives me courage not to give up and to not give into fear and anxiety.
Brilliant....this put yourself face to face with your own existence,mistakes and fears...and in a very straight on your face way
I just found this channel today and I am so grateful so much fantastic content is freely given. Thank you to the creators .
Thank you! This is probably the most practical psychological advice for self improvement I’ve seen.
Take the action first, begin the work and the feelings will take care of themselves. Don’t let the negative feelings prevent you from starting. There is no perfect time to start. Don’t wait until you’re feeling better. Just start!
This is a big help,your channel deserve a million subscribers .keep doing. Love from Philippines
Love your content my man! 🌹Weird how many things of my life have seemed to directly go together with your type of videos!!
Having realized that my life needed to change years ago I began in a journey to change my life. I started doing nearly all of what you talked about in this video organically. From my understanding that negitive emotions are an underlining warning mechanism to the contemplation on mortality as a way to put into perspective what should be more important in the present. Very well put together thanks for the video. It helped reinforce my transformative action.
Sure. I bet.
This has come to my attention at the perfect time. I've had MH issues for around 10 years now, which has become a seemingly inescapable anxiety and agoraphobia. I genuinely believe that this is a moment of transformation for me.
Reminds me of the Alan Watt's book, "The Book On The Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are". That once people approach the time near death, all doubts and trivialities fall away, and focus is regained--and how nice would it be to not wait until near-death for this.
I hope you realise how important this video is and how grateful I am that you have made it. You are really doing great work of significant value. Amazing. 💗
Wow this video is talking about me. I’m stuck in a dead end job that’s only getting worse everyday but in the back of my mind and in my heart I know that I can do 100% better with the knowledge and passionate drive I have towards what I love doing. I don’t want to take the safe way out. I want to jump off the cliff with the torn parachute and fight my way to making it out of the jump alive by the values of my own merits. Only then will I see my own worth in a world that needs more free thinkers
Sometimes you just need to come back to this video, thanks academy of ideas.
This is about the most inciteful 10 minutes on this subject I've found! Speaks right to you, I think, because somewhere inside you know it to be true, but maybe could not have understood until it was explained in this manner.
I subscribed to this channel today and this particular video was so thought provoking. It truly answered several questions and confirmed several possibilities that I'd pondered. Thank you very much. I'll continue to explore more of the information you've made available. ALL THE BEST!
I needed this! So thankful it showed up in my recommendations
Thank you for giving me hope. Every human needs to see this video.
Just Brilliant. Easily one of my favorite channels UA-cam. Would love to see you do a video on Non duality
I listen to this video once a day. Thanks for the motivation man
Philosophy will take a huge turn when the truth comes out that other beings that are not of human form have interacted with us for a long time
Your videos are truly magnificent. Very good in-depth narrative. All the most important points are put first. Balanced view, not giving lesser facts undue weight. Not dumbed down with childlike language. All the foremost authorities on a subject and their best quotes are referred to. You really know your stuff.
The best video I have ever seen on UA-cam.
Externally grateful for stumbling upon this. 10/10.
Some people cannot act on top of their difficult emotions. Sometimes emotions, particularly buried ones, have to be exhumed and processed first
willzer808 good point
This was excellent! The quotes used to drive home your point are memorable and so motivating that I had to save all of them. Thank you for this guidance 🙏
May we all live in an intense and courageous manner!
Better than any motivation video I've seen.
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL. THANK YOU FOR THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU PROVIDE.
"Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way."
What a treasure you are. Thank you for your invaluable videos. Clearly I will have to listen to it a couple times to absorb all the gems 💎 of wisdom therein.
One of the very few videos with genuinely inspiring words. Kudos!
this mans voice is so calm
That last minute hit HARD !
Every word said in this video is in the right place right time .. I can't belive how many times I stopped the video and repeat it again ..such a wise video
Maybe because I do a little self improvement and I'm aware of the things that said in the video
So Im going threw a growth spurt of some kind . I went threw a lot of abuse as a kid . Now i have just yesterday made it to the point that I got threw having to take life one second at a time then it was one minute now as of yesterday I feel as if I can handle hour to hour . Im 44 this july and I am just starting to look back at what things I have done and even at my worst I am still a good person . I did my job and kept not just my kids alive but myself . I raised myself I was a ok mom to myself .
@ Max Cady: you are right. Without the opportunity, there is no escape. But then, the opportunity will not come to you by itself (also known as waiting for a miracle). You have to take an action. That action (and subsequent actions) might or might not give rise to an opportunity. But if you do not take an action, the possibility of some kind of opportunity coming your way will not even exist. Therein lies the secret. Take an action. And if leads nowhere, take another one. It could happen that none of your actions lead you to something meaningful. But without the action, the possibility of finding meaning will not even exist. Also, be always mindful of the trap of self-defeating thoughts, of always thinking that the action you are going to take is useless. This thought is your enemy. It will drag you down the pit of depression. So treat it likewise. Which action to take? Choose the one which has the most potential to widen your horizons, however scary it is. TAKE THAT ACTION.
This might be the best video I've seen that describes what I'm going through. Thank you.
The thing beating beneath the thing that you are, that's what your spirit is. And you need to listen to it
This is a video I believe everyone should watch and fully digest when they become an adult.
That Jacobi quote hit me square in the feels. POWERFUL stuff! Thanks for the great content.
I regularly tell people that we are born to die. However, before death, we are here to experience & educate ourselves. I also tell people that when a new outta the box opportunity comes one's way- DO IT! When people review their life, regrets usually come from NOT doing something. If they tried something and failed, they rarely regret taking the opportunity but some of the choices made inside of that opportunity that lead to failure. They look back and appreciate the learning experience.
An example would be a bank robber that got caught. We would say, "bet s/he regrets robbing that bank" and the bank robber would probably agree, "i regret robbing the bank" but look deeper. The regret is getting caught. The regret is the choices made that lead to getting caught.
I felt I have great memories and have been living the best life possible but recently I have been thinking it was all a sort of dream in a way and have doubts...but the important thing is too pick yourself up and stay strong live each moment like its the last love and cherish and maY God be with you!!!
This is what I needed to hear right now.
Following my heart kept me in abusive relationships. Ignoring my feelings of love for my abusers and listening to the Truth that I know and following the analytical side that corresponds with that Truth led me out of abusive relationships. I imagine it’s the same process with all obstacles! Following MY heart leads me into nothing but trouble! Being controlled by ever changing feelings or imposed feelings is the pits!
To be honest I have been Searching This Type of Content Badly
Certainly i found this!
I really appreciate this video. I wish everyone would be taught these topics. Thank you!
Action is great unless you don't even know what to do.
But you're never going to figure it out doing nothing. You have to try stuff. It's challenging
Failures build to success. Sometimes hard to know where to start until you realize the starting point is right where you are
This here, is the truest of all medicines.
Is it just me or did this just make life more stressful.
yeah, it did for me too, but I'm gonna release this stress by putting more hours to my work.
That ending! 🔥
Thank you, gain much from your videos and insights.
that was very enlightening
plz more on self transformation
thank you so much🙏
this just blew my mind ! i felt you were describing a lot of my actual life and thoughts and how i feel, thanks for the wisdom !
Follow your soul calling or go mad! The obstacle is the path
So let's say one wishes to become a writer of literary philosophical works of non-fiction. And make a living doing that. One has to eat. Let's say one fantasises about this dream every day and night. It's his one true passion. Nothing else can truly satisfy him. He knew this already as a young boy. But he has no talent. He isn't conscientious. He isn't particularly intelligent. So he chose the Easy Road. So he studies in university the only thing that really interests him, other than the aforementioned. Biochemistry. He'll at least have an income! Yet studying biochemistry is death. And the studying isn't going well at all. So the whispers of the heart begin to intensify. "You'll die soon anyway!", "Just do it, don't let your dreams be dreams".
...but becoming a writer is crazy! The prospects are dismal. Even if you manage to work hard conscientiously, you'll almost certainly have to live on welfare the rest of your life. Why make such a fatal decision? Why waste this grand opportunity of becoming a biochemist. You'd have a paying job. Maybe you wouldn't be miserable. Just suffer through your education, and you'll be free afterwards! You can read books as a hobby... If one finds it so difficult to graduate in biochemistry, how can one even dream of making it as a writer?
Should one just accept the reality of it: You don't have what it takes. Your dreams are pipe dreams.
And instead focus on something one is able to do, and then do that well? Perhaps becoming a biochemist is also a pipe dream.
Guilt. Regret. Why didn't this man start working hard as a young boy when he first realised his dream? Why did he say: "Oh, I'll start working hard one day..."
All those wasted years of improvement. Now he is still effectively at ground zero, and the wall is tall. Such a waste of a life.
One day. The day I die?
mewmewmew that was sad but beautiful :) you should continue writing.
Maybe you're over rationalising it. I think a big part of success and growth is taking risks which might seem unreasonable and silly but which may also pay off in the long run. Intelligence and conscientiousness can and should be developed as habits one can cultivate, they're not fixed. Part of the problem is your attitude, your lack of trust and belief in yourself. A sacrifice is made whatever path you choose, is poverty a worse price to pay than being secure financially yet dissatisfied with how your life turned out? You must choose in the end, before it's too late.
Write in your spare time dumbass
I have started to do that. Your comment gave me a good chuckle, thanks.
Find a career that doesn't compete too much with what you truly wish to do. This way the basic bills get paid and you keep a roof over your head. Be wary of taking on too many financial responsibilities. Also become conscious of how you spend your time. Learn how to say no to the people and activities that will waste it - tv, social media, people that chit chat for hours...etc.. Let go of the naive idea of inspiration. Do something towards the writing every day. Find the best formats to show your writing to the public. Consider all kinds of feedback, but don't take it to heart if someone says something disparaging. Keep working at it no matter what. Eventually, you will begin to find your overall niche/content/themes/ideas and in turn, your target audience will become more clear. Things will begin to integrate into this new vocation, possibly including your day job. Good Luck.
really love the commercial 40 seconds in
People need money to live, not self-actualisation, to live happily.
Very good! Thank you!! An excellent sum-up of ideas and truths that i need to re-implement and put across to my clients :) Stay Blessed
I remember reading Maslow’s chart and saying,”...that’s my goal...”
This dude is kicking it...
The thing to realize (at least for me) was that keeping the whole chart in mind and not to become extremely good at the mere survival thing at the bottom (which our society/western civilization with the consumption routine as the ideal foists on anyone with any amount of expendable income). So moving upward without a family safety net means frugality and focus with diligence and honor for the future. An uncertain timeline we all march onward for ourselves.
Your channel is my favorite, but for some reason the second time I listened to this , just now, it gave me anxiety. Around like minute 6
marisa peers frees videos on self hypnosis and our careful use of words will be a wonderful support to these amazing videos. Everyone needs some support. Self hypnosis and conscious use of words will increase our personal self development.
This hit me like a slap in the face, in the best way! Thank you!
My obesity was a one 'huge' blockage in my life and now at 33 I just had a gastric sleeve surgery, wish me luck to continue losing and get under 100 kilograms.
Thank you friends.
Bombardier a l'eau I hope you accomplish your goal
The hardest part is getting done what needs to get done at the right time. Procrastination is a killer, in order to arrive at a desired time in space you have to merge everything into its own perspective.
One aspect of the tragedy is that we grow out of self-introspective thinking, starting from school. On average people struggling with that sense of unfullfilment don´t realize where the problem begins: little self understanding of one´s own needs ant talents. They keep on distracting themselves in order to evade that sense of oppression which slowly but certanly grows.
Thought this video would be dull like most others.. but it was packed with great information. Thank you
"If you plan on being anything less than you are capable or being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life." - Abraham Maslow, Toward a Psychology of Being
Everybody should see this video!
Really needed this today
Best video I have seen in a long time.
A very meaningful video to me and my personal development
In other words, Saddle Up! Amaze yourself and those around you. Wyoming’s remedy.🙋🏼♀️🏔🌟
Life is like the wind. Live every instant as the last one.
The great thing about being human: You can do things whether you want to or not.
I needed that slap in the face. Thank you for this💯
Wonderful choice of paintings
This video single handedly summarizes everything I've analysed by myself during very troubling times. I had no one to guide me out of my crippling anxieties and I hated how the drugs prescribed to me made me impotent. Happy but impotent. Then I started learning more about my self and this is how I am still improving my condition.
As short as this sentence is, KNOW THYSELF. It is the key to your life!
Thanks for the tough stuff
Much appreciated.
Love this video. Love this channel.
best channel on youtube
Good video
If I only had listened to others, or my own fears, both of those, always, keeps us pressed down, locked in, namecalling me as this or that aso
I would only had stayed in closed environments/cultures, and neverever done many of the things I have done. "Good&Bad", (increase our ability to discern) If we listen to the differences, and we all need those both lessons, otherwhise we wont find our way ahead, in a more balanced way. Thanks Gods&Goddesses for Sound Curiousities filled with Serendipities&Synchronicities :)
Well this things is full of motivation AF.
