Hey, I know you might be getting some hate right now, but I personally think you’re on the right track. I’ve loved Mark Manson’s brutal honesty for years, and it’s easy for some people to feel it’s a little TOO brutal in the beginning. Props to you- you’re taking action on a problem you see. Keep it up. That courage alone is more motivating than any 15-minute video could be. :)
Glad you appreciate it!
MotivationGrid You're waking up. I recently woke up and did a mass filtering of "positive thinkers" and replaced them with "knuckle draggers".
Well this video is probably about the teaser for "The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck" by Mark Manson.
same here. First time I read his second book I hated it, cause it was the opposite of all I have read before. Then I realized he was right cause there are a lot of painful but helpful truths
I think he's getting hate because some of the people see the message, you just have to learn to love the struggle and are like, okay? That's it. What if I can't love the struggle then what? It's like the advice is not really useful to these people. Might as well call it a motivation video. Those videos suck, and they go on and on to say nothing of substance, just get you hyped up or appeal to your hopes for a little longer, just so they can keep cranking out this useless content and make ad revenue.
*Happiness is not the absence of problems; it's the ability to deal with them...*
I Like this that you said,it's a Powerful statement 🙏👍
You wrote this same comment on one of The School of Life's videos. Interesting!
I've been looking for a quote to go by for years...this just might be it.
@@Jaidzeka36 "expression, not impression". That's a good one too.
Personally, I disagree. I believe life is like the tango. But that's just me
Totally agree that is an issue. Sometimes as a consumer, you get so caught up in learning the information that you dont even apply it
This is so damn true yo
1 minor objection: this _is_ a self-improvement video.
uh..
The ignorance behind the claim that you can't change yourself would be laughable if the statement weren't so harmful. As another commenter pointed out, neuroplasticity enables us to make dramatic changes in our brains. A couple of years ago, I was suicidally depressed. I was afraid of everything, full of anger, and I believed myself to be helpless and incapable of improving my own life. But I did have a breakthrough, one that taught me that I have the power to control how I feel, who I am and how I handle challenges and hardships. Now I'm happy by default and nothing intimidates me. All it took was learning a handful of concepts and experiencing the truth behind them. I haven't been magically transformed into a huge success, but I have certainly become someone who is capable of becoming one by putting in the effort and never doubting my potential. I have absolutely changed myself.
The filth you're peddling is designed to cater to those who have struggled to take control of their lives and want to feel better about failing, because they haven't found the answers, and giving up is so much easier than searching. And that's exactly whom you're attracting. You can tell by the vicious way that some of them are attacking those who disagree. People who are content don't lash out at others just for seeing things differently. Happiness demands to be shared. It takes misery to be cruel.
Matthew Neill You have no idea what you’re parroting. I absolutely orchestrated my own breakthrough. There is no can’t, and philosophy is irrelevant to psychology. Yes, you have to get out of your own way, meaning to stop letting your subconscious have free reign over your emotions and intentions and take charge of those things consciously. That’s the breakthrough.
Well, those who made the pearl were probably incapable of self improvements, and they decided to take a revenge. Some of us can change their minds and lives, others can't. Genetics defines it all. The video actually encouraged me to watch a couple of self-help videos.
a lot of what you say makes sense, and you should be saluted. But this bit: "Now I'm happy by default and nothing intimidates me." you are not suggesting you are happy all the time are you?
I agree...what the fuck does this fucker know about someone else?and at the end he's saying the same as selfhelp books....and whats with the horrible music anyway....dramatic shit ...he is as bad as any selfhelp person he tries to put down...yes there are a lot of selfhelp liars and bullshit but there is also good self help material out there...even science speaks of neuro networks and how they can be altered by the way you think....he talks about problems and self help people talk about challenges....the only difference here is that problems are negative and challenges are positive...but they still.are the samw thing....fuck him he is just a negative twat
@@ForwardEarth how old are you ? Life can throw you curves anytime and you can have to restart you life again and again... When he said you cannot change, what I did understand is how those gurus are selling you easy breakthrough out of nothing, effortless, etc.
It doesn't means it never happen to anyone to change, but it is not the free deal for everybody and especially not with a One Size Fit All system.
Self help industry is like a treadmill... It gives you a lot of exercise and illusion of moving forward; but doesn't really take you anywhere.
That’s true. So true.
*but you get stronger on a treadmill
Firstly, thanks for the video I'm a fan of your channel. But personally, I found it hard to see what the purpose of this video was? The key message seems to be "Success does not come from dreaming, it comes from hard work". What i saw was a video just repeatedly contradict itself throughout. Every other "Motivational, self-help video" I'v seen says pretty much the exact same thing as this video. WORK......
your inability to pull the lesson.out of this might be your iq or just your lack of ethic.. but the point is to focus on the work.. not just mindlessly do the hard part.. but to become fully integrated and enjoy it.. once you enjoy the struggle you won... but until you can enjoy the struggle the ladder grows longer.. japanese and koreans are masters at this.. wen u focus on detail u become super focused on.the moment nd do ur work.greatly nd efficiently
Yeah man, the exact same thought I had... It is just click bait "you've been lied to by the self help industry, yadi yadi yada..." the thing he mentions what self help like is not even realistic, I haven't heard anybody talking about or writing books about you just dream and one day you won't have problems (apart from the abomination called 'the secret' but we don't talk about that)
@@bboyfocus12 the start of your comment was completely uneccesary! What an expression of pure negativity towards a fellow human being. Assuming I have a lack of ethic when you have never met me or know who I am! Poor expression of character! And I'm sorry for whatever negativity is in your mind.. because one must possess negativity of some sort in order to express it!
@@dexdalador exactly man. This video basically starts off with "don't listen to self help videos" and then goes on to say the exact same things as every other self help video 😂😂
@@waynedonoghue4071 again you missed my message,, your feelings got in the way, you and success will be distant cousins it seems
For years I've said that everyone is so hard chasing the BIG happy that they don't pay attention to all the little happys that make the BIG happy.
You put it so well🙌🏻🙌🏻
I don't agree with everything. I read about 230 books and watched and read thousands of articles, videos and what not.
It helped me in following ways.
1) Overcame my clinical depression, suicidal tendencies, social anxiety.
2) Despite being 20 and never have gone to college, I work as a web developer now.
3) Made me such a better and mature person.
So again, don't blame all the industry. What they preach, works. Yes, some of them are just crooks and you have to be aware of them.
The problem is the "self help junkie" himself, not the industry or any kind!
BTW, The Subtle Art Not Giving A Fu*k one of the best I read! ❤
when a man uses his acid trip as a metaphor in his book and says 0 fucks given, that's when you know you can trust his insights on anything he wants to talk about, and that is for 2 reasons, 1 being the obvious; he speaks his mind straight up, and 2 the man is awake. So, yes I'm setting a reminder for this I'd like to hear what he has to say, even though I have an idea about the subject but for sure I'm down to make them clearer.
Preach!!
Abdalla - I think that he is one of few people in the self-help industry that doesn't sell you bullshit. I actually respect him a lot, even though I have followed him for a while, I couldn't understand his message because after all I was one of the biggest self-help believers.
I don't think all motivational videos tell us to chase unrealistic dreams.they tell us to go after what we truly desire, and to not give up when confronted by failures. You have said the same thing. And the thing about not being able to change oneself is bull because we learn and grow as a person everyday.
Of course, you can change yourself. You didn't sleep at 5 am and wake up at 12 pm when you were a child. You did that to yourself. Thing is becoming lazy is easy but getting back on track us hard.
It's a great tragedy individually and collectively to die without an understanding that is clear and defined of what you just lived "!!
The danger with being in love with the struggle is that you're always looking for pain and struggle. You have to have balance. Don't be afraid to struggle but don't be so attached that you create it.
A motivational video talking about why other motivational videos suck ! Im in a loophole 👌
Not here to changed myself but grow as who I am
Great!
Now forward to the next motivations/success/self-development video
Uncertainties, struggle and chasing dreams only occur in youth, by middle age you suddenly understand someone out there has been dictating a false dichotomy merely as a means to fill *their* own coffers. In old age all the answers are clearly laid bare, but the young have no interest in older people or their experiences, so the meaning of life and the future struggles will go on and on with no resolve. Until they themselves reach middle age and then it's, "Ah. I see now. Why have I put myself through so much, and looking for the answers in the wrong places."
Sometimes the person speaking is selling products, others might be sharing wisdom. Some actually do both. I think the point is we all want good feelings, and to be motivated. We cannot let an addiction to needing to feel motivated substitute for the long, often times tedious drudgery that it takes to make real change.
I have read a book about confidence. I was not confident before I read it. It showed me how to be confident. I am 19 and when I'm around people, everyone ask me about my age. The reason they always ask becasue I look young but talk like a 30 years old guy. So I tell them to guess my age. The usual answer is 24. Eventually I tell them I'm 19 with a big surprise on their face.
I ask them why are you surprised? They usually answer "you have all this confidence and very smart guy"... well, I'm proud to hear that. The thing is, I never saw that big surprise on their faces before I read that book and done the things it told me to do.
Slef-help books are great. It helped me a lot of coming out from dark places like being lazy and not taking actions.
So what's the point of this video again?
Hm, I'm sitting on the fence about this one. On one hand, hearing the phrase you can't change yourself so don't even try reminds me a lot about what I said to myself when I suffered from clinical depression and anxiety. I firmly believe you can change, but in things like social skills etc. Nothing massive, but small things that help you through life a little bit.
But I also believe that you shouldn't put all your eggs into one basket, don't dump your money into something risky. I think people should improve on what truly makes them happy. Writing a book is hard work but I enjoy that work. It makes me happy. But I'm not gonna put all my bets on being successful on my first book.
I appreciate honesty. I appreciate staying humble about your potential and dreams. But I think the most important thing to remember is to not find too much enjoyment in the brutality.
For me personally, self help videos give me a push to keep going, it didn't get me there, it probably won't get me there, but they stop me from beating myself further downwards.
So yeah lol, I like the honesty, not too much a fan of the brutality but maybe that's because of bad experiences with it. I'll stay tuned though and see what develops.
If you just watch and do nothing, what do you expect to happen? Mental inertia is death.
Great video. Thing is, there are some gurus who embrace problems, facing your fears and your greatest struggles.
There is an element of narcissism in the craving for self_help.
I hv been trying to alter my attitude for 40 yrs and I found myself BACK inside the same emotional hole I was in then.
The one thing I hv found though is this - ENJOY every moment- cos that’s all there is.
Struggles build us.
Enjoy the struggles.
Yes. I hv been thinking this a lot of late.
Self help IS hard work and dealing with pain and struggles!! If not then you are still in the browsing fase. Which is also valid by the way.
I love that episode on Bull Shit with Penn and Teller where they debunk the self help industry.
I enjoy pain, struggle, practice than so called success & failures usually
i thought this was a self help channel
This is the real help anyone can get... Face it!
Actually, it won't be anymore. From now on it will be a not self-help channel. I will still keep the old videos because I really used to believe in them, but I will try my best to create videos based on science and not mumbo jumbo from now on. It's time to change this rotting industry.
The fact is that the majority of self-help information out there is either a placebo at best or complete bunk at worst. I know that most people won't enjoy this change, but I want to do work that I believe in and I don't believe in the self-help industry anymore. I've been in it for 5 years, and most of the people in it, just want to sell you their "life-changing" product. And that's complete bullocks.
So no more bullshit like - the law of attraction, the secret, the power of positive thinking and things like that.
@@Motivationgrid what really? the point of self help books or videos helps me because i have a negative mindset. i dont have anyone around me to teach me that so these really helps me. Once you got the positive mindset more permanently, anything becomes possible. Its your problem if you feel people are doing incorrectly with their positive mindset? Obviously if you feel that, means you are not learning anything....mindset is everything man..thats why many have mental problem. Once you have the mindset, even you dont have success, you can live very peacefully in your mind. Its like benefiting from it already and then start complaining about it cause it doesnt work? Its better for people to FOMO than drift through their life man. Whats wrong with that?
@@Ian-hn8ty Actually you're completely wrong. It's completely fine to be negative, and mindset is not everything. That's what the self-help industry is telling you. Being negative is part of being human. The thing is self-help is not scientifically validated and "gurus" just want to sell you their life-changing product. It's not a beautiful industry. So, no, the mindset is not everything.
@@Motivationgrid Funny how you say: " most of the people in it, just want to sell you their "life-changing" product. And that's complete bullocks.
" Yet here you are, pushing this twit's 'life changing' product (his book). If this channel is no longer what it was, then I will unsubscribe from your channel and tell others to do the same: unsubscribe or don't do it to begin with. This channel was *AMAZING* and truly helped me with my negative mindset. After reading over your comments and responses, this channel has changed....and not for the better. Must be lots of money involved to suddenly switch gears like this out of nowhere. Need to change the name of your channel then. Instead of MotivatioGrid it should be called PushingTheDarkSideInsteadOfMotivatingPeople. This guy you're pushing surely has the right last name!
You hit the nail on the head!
People getting touchy because it’s the truth get out of your feelings and let’s take some massive action this 2019.
The problem with the self help industry is that too many people believe that simple participation will fix their lives. IE "I read a Tony Robbins book and all will improve." Robbins gives excellent advice at times. And I'm sure that if one had thousands of dollars to throw away his seminars would be a positive experience. But the root of self help as I tell my own subscribers is this. Self. Most intuitively know that they have to have a positive mindset, have to have good strategy to advance and have to use massive effort. The self help gurus may be helpful in some aspects of turning your life around. Some strategical methods. But if you are spending all of your time reading book after book and chasing these gurus all the time on YT or around the country (including me) then you will never be focused on the actual advancement part. I'm only small time but this is my constant advice--take what works and discard what doesn't. You shouldn't be spending thousands of dollars when the real origin of change is in the mirror. Hope that helps someone out there--Charles.
I think what what he means by "You can't change yourself" is more like you can't change what your consciousness is, of couse you can learn new things, become stronger and etc, but your consciousness will always be the same. Beside that, the most important message is for you enjoy the process and the stuggle, like many people have the dream to finish college and when they finish they're not more happy, that's because we have two selfs, the experience Self that lives in the now and the remembering Self, who dream about future and have nostalgia about the past, but is never in the now.
Mefisth the way he said it was so depressing tho. He was literally bashing other people for trying to be a better version of themselves as if he knows “every single person who does self help” this video is so toxic. I could barley last 3 minutes.
The harder the battle the sweeter the victory
Great editing!
Thanks brother!
Thank you Mark. Really. I am going to be grateful.
I just bought the book the subtle art of not giving a fuck and this came out in youtube recomendation
when you realize you are watching this anti social media video in a social media

Hello, may I know What is the ending music title name?
Finally a video that had to be made. That’s refreshing.
Thanks
I really needed to hear this
I thought everything I was doing was helping me get closer to my goal. But it turns out, everything I was doing only brought me further away from reaching my goals. I was running away from my pains and fears.
That's what I've been doing my whole life, the thing is nothing happens overnight and it takes action and then it takes time.
@@Motivationgrid Time..... I always thought action and thought NOW. But I never thought time...
@S M I was going to the gym 6 days a week; literally everytime something in my daily life gave me frustration, I would go to the gym but that only distracted me from my problems. I would read books when I got mad about something not working out in life.
All that ever did was distract me from my problems. That's what I was doing. Getting temporary relief.
I need to be honest with myself and actually face my problems to solve them.
@S M Well the thing about health boosting activities as escape mechanisms for me was simply the fact that when i was frustrated about not having things my qay in life, i assumed i wasnt good enough. so i did things like weight lifting and cardio in the gym to get a better body and reading books to become more knowledgeable so that i could "be good enough". Never worked though. Same old results
@@bbuildingmarch7060 That's the big issue with the self-help industry. I will just say this, 98 % of the self-help books/videos are just money making schemes. It's very easy to sell dreams to people. Stay tuned for my next video, it will explain a lot.
"You will wish you had watched..."
Thank you, fellow grammar national socialist!
@@laurisolups6563 If you use the word "fellow" in that context, then you are also part of that group, my friend. Happy New Year 2019
And you will see alot of what you said in older people.. notice how slow/patience they are.. walking is a struggle that caters to the art of patience/gratitude..
What you speak is truth..glory to god for he is the eternal authority that casteth authority also through our lord jesus christ..
I think the message flew over my head because I didn't learn anything new
Good work
I do not read self-help books but I read literature. I observe people, listen to their conversation. I changed myself by self-discipline.
Weird that's basically the message I got from most self-help book and video I watched before.
Yes. Embrace the struggle. Celebrate the challenge. Yes, your core desire/need isn't going to change. Yes, there's an addictive element to self-help products. However, he didn't acknowledge the idea that your heart-inspired purpose or mission is connected to the community's needs and desires. Your mission is directly connected to inspire others when everything clicks together.
Always believe that good things will happen. Live Now
Great line, “it’s actually very hard for us to know exactly what we want.” I believe this is one of the key aspects of self improvement as we know that goals help motivate us to action so we dream up some utopian life/situation but how do we really know this is what we want if we’ve never had it? For example, I know a couple people who have a nice yacht... sounds great but they spend more time maintaining, staffing, and paying for it than enjoying it. The question is do we release the notion of the “end game plan” - that utopian dream life - and focus on smaller, measurable improvements while enjoying the daily “struggle” and continually improving as a human over time? Enjoy the journey rather than focusing on the destination so-to-speak? Or is it still important for us to have that “big-a__-hairy-goal” in life?
That's a nice question. I love it :)
One statement of BS in this is the thought people enjoy the struggle....no we don't. That is ridiculous. Struggle is how we grow. Struggle defines us. Struggle is how you get better. Only thing that forces us to go through struggle is discipline and ability to forgo our fear.
the only way to be successful and self actualized is to stop trying to be...Can someone please explain this to me, I really dont get it
Hey dude some of your captions are wrong you had whimps when he said whim and you had 9 to 5 when he said gnawing and many more. the captions are wrong.
Never thought of it this way. Probably i fantasize too much without action. But fantasy and imagination is part of life and should not be ignored. I think it is beyond what our current science understand. We are all connected. Our instinct are most likely correct. This video will led for people to believe that imagination is not part of it.. but i dont think it is true.. imagination play a big part of your success. Without imagination there is no further plan.. the rest is where your willpower to succeed at what you want. Just my 2 cent.. correct me if im wrong
Thank you, I think that I needed to hear this 😊
i don't get his point someone to explain please
what he means by getting motivated by the wrong reasons
The comment about changing yourself is actually very nuanced. It’s designed to tell you that you aren’t your habits or actions, so focusing on changing those, rather than your identity will be more productive.
I think , the main thing isn't try to change , but dream , see the person who u wanna be then work harder and harder cause yes classically , there will be struggles , you will fall but if u learn how to " fall in love with struggles " that's the key , so three things to change and become whom you are : dream , face struggles wisely and then fulfill your goals
Thank you,,I really appreciate it.
Self help gives me hope to live.
Life is too short do and then learn.knowledge can shorten that process of pain.
$elf Help is like a dog chasing after its tail.
Finally, real people surrounding the comment section, not a bunch a kids
Self help is nothing to do with changing yourself, if you are an unhappy person then you are an unhappy person, self help lets you understand yourself and know who you really are. There is nothing wrong being unhappy same as being happy it is only an opersite emotion as good or bad, right or wrong, it is only what we have been groomed to think. Like fat or thin, black or white, male or female we are all the same. Self help is knowing who you really are and that you are not just a brain in a head or a body in a skin, your brain, your body and you are one of the greatest creations on this planet, as is everything else that lives. Look after it and yourself and just be yourself. If doing what you want to do upsets other people then ignore them. Do not feel guilt. It is your life, not theirs.
There are only two things on this planet, Nature (which we are part of) and Fabrication, things made by creatures such as us from Nature.
I like this guy. He’s like Tyler Durden with better clothes. 👍🏼
Self help always talks about hard work and taking action.What is this guy talking about.Even his book is a self help that contradicts itself and talks about self help only of positive thinking which is a very small percentage.
I fucking knew it! I sit down and watch tv from morning to night and drink my spiced rum and coke and I have a great time.
Fuck this self improvement shit! I am self actualized! I am enjoying my life just fine!
I thinks lot of people did not get the real meaning of what Mark is telling. Read his book 'subtle art of not giving a fck' and you will understand what he wants to tell you
The background music was so sad and depressing! And I stopped listening three minutes in because the cursing was a turn off.
Good video but too many pauses, and the music was way too loud. But I like the content. Just like Bruce Lee said. Wish not for an easy life, rather wish for the strength to endure a difficult one.
I’m not big youtube commenter but now I feel I should write something as I think that this is amazing direction you’re going. I’ve come across your channel several times but I don’t usually care about motivation channels but after this video I’ve subscribed and looking forward to see your content.
I’ve come from nothing to pretty good life in last 7 years. Tried everything, did everything but Mark Manson, Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson helped me the most.
Please remember! Even if you get less subscribers, your impact will be much more meaningful.
Thanks for the comment, it's always nice to see some support. And yeah, I might lose a big chunk of my audience and not be able to pay the bills, but at least I'm doing what I think is right.
Know your passion and follow your passion. That's success.
Mark manson really started me on loving books.
Glad to see him on this
Watch self help videos and actually work hard to apply it. See your own personal results and view this vid as a reminder to keep grinding...which is Self Help in itself. They're speaking of "Extreme cases" of those folks who don't walk the talk similar to religious folk who are lifelong church goers but aint shit spiritual about'em. They're just happy to be a part of something they view as bigger than them. Otherwise, they have no purpose. People NEED something to BELIEVE in. It's not about the start or the finishline. Its the person you've grown and improved to be during the journey rather than the destination. That's when your REAL success shows up anyway. We plan and God laughs. Control your effort and that determines your outcome which grows your competence and builds your confidence. By then you're in love with the "Process" or scrap it and do something else you "Enjoy". Again, Self Help! That doesn't make the industry "ALL" bad. That exposes you as a lazy fuck when you KNOW you're not doing shit with what you're learning. Most of us are taught this in grade school and sports during our childhood. I agree with alot in this vid only after Ive taken the meat and thrown away the bones of cynical contrarian talk which is to some in itself...Self Help. Think for yourself folks. Facts don't give a shit about opinions ✌✌✌
Mark Manson! What an AMAZING guy!
*Who you are is defined by what you're willing to struggle for.*
*-MARK MANSON*
This is an eye opener!
Glad you liked it. Better things are coming, no more bullshit.
@@Motivationgrid haha great to hear
@@Motivationgrid I see you have read the subtle art...lol. 👍
I think it's time to seek balance between learning from others (which has its necessary place) vs just going off on one's own joourney of self discobery without outside influence ... figuring out our own paths
Just WOW !! Thank you 🙏
Nice! It’s the “Fight Club” of Self Help Videos!
The old
Truth has been spoken meme
Mark Manson himself is in this sh^^. Who is he kidding? It all boils down to classic American my way or the high way.
Interesting and thought provoking points but overall disagree. The statement "Self-help is lying to you" in my opinion is false. Like many of the comments mentioned, its not the industry lying to you, it's what you perceive the industry is looking to achieve. For example, I do not believe self help content creators believe that what they tell you IS going to change your life/mindset but rather delivers tools so that YOU can change your life/mindset. It falls on the consumer of the content to make the real change. The content alone will do nothing unless the appropriate helpful information delivered by self help creators is carefully examined and sifted through, then applied and practiced.
It all helps to a certain point, but eventually you have to be aware enough to realize.. am I just doing this for the feel good feeling, or am I actually putting in some work? You don’t have to be all in 24/7 from the start, but at least, am I getting a bit better today, than I was yesterday. That’s really it. You can use self help material to keep you going, but as long as you improve in what you’re trying to do.
This video actually comes across as a self-help advertisement for the sarcastically-jaded bent. No pun intended. ;)
Like most self-helpers, the body of work Mark Manson offers aims to empower others. His angle is just a pessimistic slant, which caters to the more cynical attitude ... hey, whatever floats one's boat.
There's nothing wrong with a healthy dose of skepticism or a heart full of optimism. Whatever "your" way, there's no need to debase or demean another's way ... this shaming of another's path is the source of our wars.
Glass half-empty or glass over-flowing ... either way, there's no right or wrong.
*And how was this video helpful at at all? Sounds pretty much like all the discouraging things people’s parents told them why they weren’t going to be successful, special people. This video is a major downer.*
I never attend self help seminars its a waste of money if your building a business use it for marketing or something instead. Besides all that shit they teach in seminars can be learned on UA-cam or just living your damn life
This man gets the stuff.
Yeeeeeeeess thank you ❣
Great!
Mark book was on self help shelf in the bookstore 😂
We are victims of our prosperity
OMG MORE MANSON VIDEO PLEASE
I mean fuck: so key to life is acknowledging the struggle? Understanding that you will always struggle and as you grow, the only thing to motivate you and drive you forward is to find different snuggles to push up against... to... omg typo.
Ope I’m keeping the typo everybody!! Gaw! SNUGGLES!
I was going to get all... “yeah but- perception and being in the moment and blah blah blah depends on how you look at it” and instead I’m going to rewatch your entire video and replace in my head every time you say Struggle* with Snuggle* and I think I may have just found a lynchpin strategy to refute your theory.
Awe. I love you!! You’re awesome. I hope you feel better. :)
Anti self help genius
there was another video on youtube about this kind of motivation that was inspired by mark manson and i loved it so much. however i cant find it anywhere because the thumbnail, title, and actual video had nothing to do with each other and i cant find it in my watch history for some weird reason. if someone knows what im talking about please let me know if they can find it or if its probably deleted from YT. ive spend hours looking for it lol
Hello. First of all, I'd like to thank you for your work, and I'd like to you to know that your videos gave (and still give me) me all the power and confidence that I needed. But I know a lot of people here in Brazil that can't understand english, and I was thinking in translating some of your videos to portuguese. Of course I'd let the link to your original video and give credit. Please, let me know if you enjoy the idea of changing more lifes.
You can easily create Brazilian subtitles on this video. Please do not re-upload the video.
@@Motivationgrid that's a good idea too!
Money money money money......money. For the love of money. For the love of money
Just do the shit. Make the decision to do it...
Great edit! What is the original source? Can you share the links?
The original source of the speech? It's from various Mark Manson interviews. The footage is licensed via Filmpac, and the audio via soundstripe and motionarray. Same goes for the sound effects.
Remarkable
