    Hey everyone, this is Thomas, I just want to say that the morning I walked out with TD to meet Staffan was so strange. I've been a skeptical of "energy" and how much influence manifesting something can have. But that morning, I decided to approach looking for a stranger differently. I took my time. I wanted to create the most optimal headspace for myself. I went for a run, meditated, felt grateful about the opportunities we have and everyone around us and decided that I was going to walk out the door and change someone's life. Changing someone's life might sound hyperbolic to some of you, but I knew that whatever would happen that day, it would forever alter their perception of the world. Then TD landed that morning and arrived with equally good vibes. But we weren't in a rush. We didn't stress about "finding someone" for the episode, or just filming for the sake of filming. Instead, we went for coffee to catch up before going out, we took our time prepping the gear and making sure we were both in the right headspace. We made a dozen small decisions that morning that pushed us back by 5 minutes each time, then walked out and immediately met Staffan. You might call this luck. But for me, this just showed how our perspective, intention and the energy we bring to everything we do is important beyond measure. You just can't fake it. It's real and fires inside of you. TD was for the longest time one of the most skeptical people I've ever met but through experiences like this, he now fully believes anything is possible. Believing and positive energy can truly go a long way. Much love

    Isn't it beautiful how Staffan's 'Yes' forever changed his life? He gained true brothers and friends for life, and he's getting to speak in front of so many seekers at the Iceman premiers - just as he had always dreamed/envisioned. All this thanks to that one moment. That moment of saying yes to life, yes to stepping into the unknown and flying across the globe to swap lives with a stranger. How wonderfully stars aligned. This makes my heart so so happy.

My boss said I couldn’t take the time off from work. Just seeing the YT videos all these years, meeting them, and having to turn down a badass opportunity like this inspired me to quit my job because it wasn’t conducive to living the life I wanted to live. Proud to say, almost a year later, that I am living my dream. Because of you guys, YesTheory, my life changed.

      Apart from the plane ticket, you don’t need much. The comfort snd lifestyle we’re used to in Western countries comes at a price: a planned life path. If you’re willing to put that path on hold and dare to discover that it doesn’t really affect your chances “back home”, it can be an eye-opening experience to live somewhere else for a year, doing simple stuff for not a lot.

I wish there was more people in the world like Yes Theory, maybe then people like me wouldn't exist? As someone who has seen the darker sides of life, I just wanted to thank you guys for everything that you do and for being exactly who you are. You're inspiring so many, like myself, to do more and be more, and I'm so appreciative to have found this channel. Thanks for laughs and happy tears, I look forward to many more. Xoxo

      There are two things I tried a few years ago to to try and be a happier person rather than sad or depressed.
      1. Smile More.
      2. Every time you have a negative thought, replace it with a positive one.
      The second one was really hard. Took me a few months, almost giving up on the technique several times, and lots of dedication. I came out much happier and still implement it when I am feeling down. Hope this helps and best wishes to a happier future.

    I’ve never posted a UA-cam comment before, but this just became my favorite Yes Theory video ever. I have grown up in Texas my whole life and I’m actually a senior at UT right now, and the rest of my family lives in Sweden. It was so much fun to see a video literally combine the two cultures that make up my life. I love what you guys stand for, and it’s inspired me to use up the money I’ve saved from internships to take a trip around the world with my girlfriend next summer instead of “doing my job” as Stefan put it. I wish I knew you guys were in town, would have loved to meet you all! Thank you so much for all the fun videos and journeys. - Felix
