Cynthia Monroe 🙏
@cynthia monroe - what honest words! Tough to say to someone and tough to hear. Incredible how the message was received... I am in awe of this whole conversation!
So funny I just wrote a blog post on this - this was my aha moment 10 years ago...! Changed everything
Interesting comment.
I saved myself because no one came even though I asked for help from police and doctors - I had to face my bully ex and throw him out - no one will rescue you - save yourself - it literally works!
“There’s no Prince Charming. There’s no rescue boats. No one’s coming. I need to save myself.” Thank you
thanks for watching
It sync now on my mind :)
The thought of being as strong as him of sharing and holding in his tears made me cry. While in front of an audience ?
That’s strength.
thank you
Thanks for all the love on this video, it means the world to me that you took a few minutes to be part of my channel.

I liked your story. Curious though, are you a practicing Jew?
@@aa0324 No I am not a practicing Jew, nor am I recognized by the Jewish community as "Jewish" because my mother was not Jewish.

During a dark night of the soul experience last year, sobbing for hours, it hit me that no one is coming, l am all alone and as l hung out in this depressive, victim state of mind, with feelings of abandonment, a voice, from deep within me rose up saying - your IT, your all there is and that's enough. Talk about an awakening, l have come to accept I AM my life. Cheers.

INVESTING MAKE UP THE TOP-NOTCH HEMISPHERE OF WEALTH, THAT IS MORE REASON ONE SHOULD SAVE AND INVEST TO SECURE MORE PROFIT AND ENSURE SUCCESS
You're right ma,
That is why I had to start forex trading 2months ago and now am making benefits from it.
Thanks for introducing me to Mr Norwood.
My first investment with Mr Norwood gave me profit of over $44,000 Us dollar
and I can even say he's the most sincere broker I have known.
The story just teared me up... Thank you for sharing something so personal and for giving this advice. That's so true! No one is coming, it's you and on you. Stand up straight and keep pushing, we can do this :D
Thank you for your comments Olia 🙏
A mom who doesn’t want to meet her son is not well. You do not want your family to be around someone like that. Some people weren’t meant to be parents. The parents that adopted you and chose you over anyone else are your real parents. I can just imagine they fell in love with you on first sight! 💗
thanks for saying that Barc
It sounded mean but after a short thought I think I can understand it a bit better, it is still unkind to the son but the mother has a life and a family now and the truth of his past can ruin a whole family now or more than this. It is sad but understandable.
There’s no way to know the mother’s situation. We don’t have to stand in judgment of her in order to have sympathy with her son. She may indeed be mentally or physically ill. But there are many other reasons that could explain why she reacted as she did. Sometimes, we have to live with uncertainty and let it be okay. Life’s like that. He found a way to accept it and move on; good on him.
@@sherya.7067 I really don't believe that should be any reason for a mother to turn her back on her own child. However bad her past was is none of the son's responsibility, he is innocent and she brought him into this world. No explanation from his mother will suffice. She is cold and heartless.
@@thekingskid3332 I share your opinion though I don't want to rebuke her. She should have allowed him a hug and share tears and plead with him never to show up again.
I'm immediately reminded of "Choose Yourself" by James Altucher. The last decade of my life has been all about not playing the victim and taking charge of my life. It isn't easy, but it's the only thing that works.
agree, thanks Matt
oh same here
Mathew thanks heaps! i will get myself this book great stuff!
Matthew Stinar wow true
ShakeyBritches wow deeply move by your comments..i didnt realize just by reading SOME comments would impact us greatly
As a former children's home product. "No one is coming" eventually becomes your liberation! I learned this at 12 yrs old!
Your story had me in tears Bryan. I could feel your emotions when you were talking about being rejected by your mother, to my core. I also searched for my dad for many years and when I found him I also got rejected. I met with him 3 times in the hope to forget what happened in the past and build on having a normal father and daughter relationship unfortunately reality kicked in and I realized he wanted money from me and nothing else. He broke my heart. I learnt a hard raw lesson : Finding out about him at the age of 10 he became my driving force and idol until I met him at 22, I put all my energy and hope into him for all those years even knowing that my whole life was based on a lie. Going against my family's wishes just to prove to myself that some how something must of happened and he does love me. Even tho they were right and I was wrong at the end of it all, my family I know still supported me emotionally and I managed to find closure and move on with my life. It was very hard. I became strong and I did what I did for myself to move forward with or without the perfect ending. I am loved and its isn't the end of the world that the love isn't coming from him. Thank you for your message ....and just know YOU are loved! Sending mountains of hugs all the way from South Africa ;)
Wow Namarra, thank you for sharing that. I'm touched that you would bare your soul for me. I feel the love and I'm so grateful to you for your words. I'm also so happy to hear that you are rising above the heartache and pain. It's not easy and it can be a lonely road...I'm with you...It is about choosing for ourselves what we do from now going forward that matters. Much love back to you from LA!

True
Bryan, WOW. What a great show. I had an experience quite similar to your experience of finding your birth mother. My story is almost unbelievable, and if I didn't have a witness, I would probably doubt my own memory of it. I found out when I was about 15 that the person I thought was my father, was not my biological father after all. My parent's did not willing disclose this information to me, so when I asked them about it, they were taken by surprise and it really upset my mother, she spent the whole night crying in her bedroom. Needless to say I didn't get any answers that night. But, it upset me that I upset her, and the next day we just went on with our lives like nothing had even happened, I didn't dare to bring up the subject again. I mean when is a good time to make your mom cry? NEVER.
Anyway, life went on, and I never did ask her directly for more information. However, she would bring it up to my best friend, almost every time she had the chance to speak with her privately. I think it was just too hard for her to talk to ME about it . Gotta love her, she handled it the best we she knew how at the time. Out of this, I was able to get his full name, he lived in the east somewhere, he had been in the military .(We lived in a town next to a huge military base) This was back in the 80s, before, like you said, the internet and information a was so readily and easily available, So I didn't spend much time trying find him, although there was a lot I wanted to know, especially health information, as in my childhood I had some health "scares" that could have been genetically related.
Although they never legally changed my name, and I was never adopted by my "step-father", they enrolled me in kindergarten with his last name.??? I guess things were different then than they are now... So for most of my life I had used one name while all my documentation was under another name. It wasn't a problem until I wanted a driver's license and my required Drivers Education class was under a different name than my birth certificate. When I turned 18, I hired a lawyer and legally changed my name to officially be who I was raised as, and took my step-fathers name.
Anyway fast forward a couple of years, I worked at a telemarketing company, and we marketed wholesome family films. We received all of our referrals from clients who had purchased films from us. Every morning the managers would count out a specified number of lead cards and distribute them amongst our team. I'm sure you know where this is headed. I ended up with a card in my pile, of a woman who's last name matched my biological father and it was an eastern time zone phone number. It caught my attention, because it wasn't a common name in the small northern Utah town I was from, and I had never come across that name anywhere else. I thought it was interesting and it piqued my curiosity but, it didn't really have my heart racing because, I mean, what would the odds be? Right? But I was for Damn sure going to do my best to sell her some movies and see what information I could glean from the call. So I did that. I closed the sale, but couldn't figure out a way to ask her what her husbands name was without it sounding suspicious.
My head was spinning with remorse as I thought of what I should have said and done, and trying to think of a way I could get the information. I told the guy sitting next to me what was going on and he said, "let me see the card, I'll call and say I am your manager and I need to verify the information since the sell is on credit." He asked for her husbands name and she gave it up without any hesitation. Sure enough, the name matched. HOLY CRAP! What now? The news spread through our office, I mean after all, 7 billion people in the world, 325 million in the U.S. and I would get that card? There was still a chance it wasn't THAT The**** M*****. I'm sure there's more than one person with that name in the world. At this point, word spread through the office, no one was working, everyone was gathering around me and asking me what I was going to do. I had no idea. Everyone wanted me to call right then, but I couldn't, I needed time to think. The managers caught on to what was going on, and we could have been fired for what we did, and they could have refused to let me copy the information down to call back, but, the odds of that happening were so un-freakin-believable I think it would have started a riot at this point.
To sum up an already long story (I hope you made t this far) , it was him!!! He confirmed he knew my mother and confirmed he knew I existed. I asked him if I caught him at a bad time, as I could her his wife and kids in the background, and he said quietly " yes." I asked if he would like me to call back at a better time and he said "No." I asked if he wanted to call back at a time more convenient for him and he simply said "no". There was complete silence on the line. He didn't hang up and I couldn't breathe much less figure out what to say after that. Those were the last words we ever spoke. We sat there silent for probably a good minute and a half. Eventually I just hung up, because I couldn't hold back the tears any longer and I was NOT going to let HIM hear me cry.
So as incredibly "meant to be" as that was, it was a valuable lesson to me, on things, that are not "meant to be". It taught me to recognize how important it is to recognize the value of the things you already have in your life, that you take for granted. My step-father was after all for all means and puroses my "dad". He stepped up to the plate when no one else did, he took me under his wing and raised me as his own. And, as mad as I was for my parent's lying to me for all of those years, Now, I understood why. Life is tricky, isn't it?
I too am trying to learn how to navigate my trials and failures in life, (boy do I have a lot of them). I too am at a point in my life, where the pressure to sink or swim is incredible. I really enjoyed your interview, it inspired me to continue to try and find a way to turn my ideas into reality. I'm looking forward to seeing more Behind the Brand for ideas and inspiration.
Thank you
Kerry Strong amazing story, read the entire thing. Thanks so much for sharing. If you have interest, I’m making a documentary film to tell stories like this to help others cope, heal and move thru their pain. If you would like your story to be part of it feel free to email me and I’ll send you more details: Bryan@thegoodbrain.com
Thank you for sharing your story.
Wow very brave and strong of you.
You were raised by a better man than your biological father would ever be. Some people just don’t get that they’re hurting themselves shutting out a relationship that would’ve healed. And all the experiences and love you had to offer. We can’t judge people by their choices but rather learn from them. Life is too short, you have plenty to offer and you know you are loved. Take care
Holy Crap... Holy crap...
A very profound message. Whoever did rear you has done a very good job. They and you should be very proud. Jxxx
Jenny Murphy thank you
I hope maybe one day the mum will change her mind and contact the son. He has turned out a fine gentleman and looks like he is well grounded and a good family man too . Stay strong son..u have lots of love and support around you. Maybe the mum was not well or in a pressured dominant relationship and is being manipulated into saying she doesn't want any contact..if so i hope she finds strength to leave abusive relationship and run as fast as she can and scoop her son into her arms and love him forever more xx
Originality never fades away, I certainly kept my hope together knowing I would find a source to recover my brand influencing Instagram account, that's about the time I linked up with @stormweb.hacker77 on Instagram . A strong connection was generated between myself and @stormweb.hacker77 and in no time my social and internet connections were secured.

One of the most touching stories I ever heard on UA-cam. Amazing
Thank you so much Paul
I cannot understand what woman could deny her son’s cry or ignore him reaching out to her. Even if she has her reasons, the least his biological mother could do is tell him and his family why she doesn’t want to meet them. Of course, things (humans) are more complexed than that, but I just sat there crying when he told me she denied him like that. But luckily he’s got an amazing family of his own and his children will never have to feel that alone ever. I hope he’s in peace with his mother still being absent. Much love ❤️❤️❤️

WOW WOW WOW! I just happened upon your video (it was a suggested video) and watched it only to learn I had the same "rejection story" recently. I had been searching for my biological father as my mother got pregnant after a "chance encounter" and didn't know anything but his first name. After doing a DNA test I connected with a sister and learned our father is still alive! I sent a letter, very similar to yours and got back that painful rejection of him not wanting to meet or have any correspondence at all. It took a few months to reel from that and then realize I got many questions answered about health and what he looked like, but after learning about many of his other "chance encounters" and this hurtful response, I was much better off without him in my life. First thank you for sharing this vulnerable story, and secondly, I love this advice... quit waiting to be rescued! So good.
You have such a beautiful soul. You can see your light from miles away thank you for sharing your story. It was very healing for me.

No one is coming, no one is going to come, rescue yourself this story is so touching
Heart wrenching as a Mum to hear this brutal rejection wow. I think kind hearted humans find it hard to accept that this is a life lesson ..no one is coming to save you ..sometimes really horrible things happen and for some people it keeps happening while others lead a blessed life. Yes it’s unfair yes it’s devastating but if you think the universe will balance the bad and good or make it up to you then you are in for a struggle. I’m trying to learn this lesson it’s hard life’s cruel and saving yourself is a daily lesson. Look forward to more from both of these guys!

Just came back to watch this again for the..I don't know how many times..it's a personal favorite...and noticed you've surpassed the 100K subscriber mark. That's awesome, Bryan...very well deserved, and Behind the Brand needs to be seen by millions more as the quality of this channel is just incredible. So here's to great momentum, great success, and hitting 7 figure + very soon!
Thank you for your bravery to share your story. I'm not the first or last that will share a tear or two with you. When a man asked a Muslim Prophet “Who is most deserving of my good company?” The Prophet said, “Your mother.” The man asked, “Then who?” The Prophet said “Your mother.” The man asked again, “Then who?” The Prophet said, “Your mother.” The man asked again, “Then who?” The Prophet said, “Your father.” You looked for her first. Your mother may not want to be in your company, but because you are so compassionate and forgiving, remember her in your prayers. Keep flourishing.
Some traumas are very Hard to leave back in history. And that's ok. Embrace it! It's a part of yourself. Find a place for it in you. Live an oyster making a pearl

Omg... What a story.... I am so sorry this happened to you. Thank you so much for sharing this vulnerable story. It is such a great lesson for all of us. Thank you.
Appreciate that Jay, thanks for the kind words
7:35 it hits me soo bad specially When Seth said to him that ''dont thank me this's you'' ... you can see on his eyes that he's proud and happy after what he has been thought. Such a strong man❤☺ idk how your daughters feel but ik just one thing that they are so proud for having you 😭❤. Sometimes i wish my dad is ''famous or did something great'' but it's fine at least he gives me ''love'' but i with from the bottom of my heart❤ that i'm gonna make my children happy and proud for having this amazing mom😭. So thank you for sharing your inspirational story ❤☺ . Maybe one day i'm gonna invite you to my show to tell you your advice 😅 (who knows maybe lol) but thankssssssssss ❤
thank you

Great storytelling from the heart with a really important message - many thanks for that. Victimhood is so easy to fall into, no matter what your start in life, it's our biggest enemy. I think we all need reminding of that quite frequently.
"Be Selfless" - Solid advice ... one super successful mentor told me once ... "Remember those who helped you on your path and always strive to return the favor!"
Goddamn. As if it wasn't difficult enough to muster the courage to make contact, to get that sort of a response is nothing short of brutal. I try to empathize with the other side since you never know what makes them do the things they do, but threatening with a restraining order first before just saying 'no' lacks even the basic essentials of common human decency and empathy.
appreciate the comments...yes, it's still surprising to me why she chose that response.
You should be proud of yourself man. Not easy coming out of that being stronger than you went in. Takes a lot of courage and character to share that, and you have clearly positively impacted a lot of people by doing so.
It's quite obvious that she is rich - very few people would hand over a personal letter to their lawyers. Maybe CEO at a big company that didn't want the press attention. That really is the only thing I could think of why someone wouldn't want contact with their lost son.
The Dudelino u might be correct
a lot of assumptions there.
Love your story. And the best advice from Seth "There's no prince charming in this story, No rescue boats..is very powerful.
This was so touching to watch. I love how authentic, genuine, vulnerable, and open you were in sharing your story. Beautiful on so many levels and I am sorry for the heartbreak you experienced yet life showed up with so many other beautiful gifts to fill your heart. Thank you for sharing.
that means a lot Heidi, thank you
You are a genuine inspiration. Your mothers rejection, is her loss. You seem such a genuine bloke, who has embraced life in spite of your set backs. Well done! Keep up the good work, and keep being authentic. Your light is shining through.
thank you 🙏👊
OMG I’m sending you a huge hug.
Thanks Bryan
You gave me a lot of strength during a difficult time. A very special person walked out of my life and I have been struggling. I am not able to feel anger towards him. I feel it was all my mistake and that I am the one who is lacking. I am unable to wish for anything for myself. I end up saying to myself "I wish him well God". Sometimes it is so difficult to stop the tears. I can't imagine what it must be like to receive that response from your mother. In the end our lives are how we respond to things we do not have closure for.
Well said Z, thank you for the kind words. Wishing good vibes and much strength during this hard time.
Wow, Z, what a powerful statement you made while still in the midst of grieving a huge loss: "In the end our lives are how we respond to things we do not have closure for." So often we think we can't move forward until we have closure, but in many cases closure will never come and we must move forward regardless. Prayers right now for you for peace, healing, and continued courage to keep on keeping on.
Wonderful conversation! Such a pleasure listening to the two of them talk. Much love and thanks for here. ❤️🙏
I commend you for sharing your story. I too am adopted and have been unsuccessful in my search for any birth family thus far. Truthfully my biggest fear is that I will be turned away, or rejected once again. While my head knows that this does not define my worth, my heart still struggles. My heart broke as you told of the response you received on behalf of your birth mother. From one adoptee to another, I am with you in that pain. The silver lining of finding your birth father, however, is amazing. I hope this has served as a healing relationship. God bless you Bryan.
Thank you so much Katherine, I appreciate the kind words. I'd be open to hearing more of your story if you'd like to share it. Feel free to send me an email. Bryan[at]thegoodbrain[dot]com
Aww.. what a beautiful video! I cried watching it. To be honest, this advice is the one I really need to hear too! Thank you..
Thank you Elga, hope you find more videos on my channel that inspire you!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful story! Embracing our vulnerabilities is one of the ways to continue living full out.
Thank you Nancy!
I LOVE how vulnerable you were, that's true strength right there!
thanks Reza
I've always quietly liked your work. In a world of push harder, do more, work harder, appear machine-like; appear successful....you're a shining example of embracing all your manhood. Vulnerable, responsible. Real. Keep spreading your experience--the world needs it. Thank you.
That means a lot Faith, thank you.
That was an amazing story! I am happy you found your dad and didn't give up. That story really makes me want to show my parents appreciation bc it reminds me we are not all so lucky to have parents who care for us. Thank you so much for sharing that🙏
thank you
Fantastic story 👏
You are an amazing human - so brave and honest. Thank you for sharing such an emotional and in many ways heartbreaking story.
kind words, thank you
I cannot even begin to imagine the pain you must have felt when you received that letter. You are strength! A living, breathing, love master. Thank you!
thank you
Great advise that you learned when you needed it the most. No one is coming for you. It made you the man and success you are today. I am taking two of Seth's workshops. And this is one of the most important thing I too, am learning. No one has picked me, whatever I did: workshops, speaking, webinars, writing. I had to do on my own. I had to not only do the work, but had to push it hard out into the world. I thought to myself: Why are they not asking me to do a speech, why am I not part of a workshop circuit. I have great contributions to share????? I thought I was wasting my time. I have put much of this sharing on hold for the last 2 years. But, still deep in my soul, I knew, It was important. Now, I learned as you have, I must be the driving force. I am a creative, I have something of importance to share, I care enough. Thank you for the beautiful story. It helps me tremendously. Domenic
Loved hearing this story Bryan. Thank you for sharing your very personal experience!
Thanks for watching Cindi!
I loved this piece. So relevant, and told by an amazingly human storyteller. Thank you for sharing this.
kind words Victoria, thank you!
thank you so much for your courage to speak up and share your story.
I can somehow understand the underlying sense of longing to get back to the body you came from as a baby, the person that you were once ONE with. The same goes as well for the mother. So it is heartbreaking to hear such a story and such a crushing rejection. For both sides. Your mother is missing out on an opportunity to deal with her past and to heal on her side. I am sure if she comes to senses she will contact you.
thank you for the kind words
You're more than brave to share this. You're amazing, being vulnerable is one of the hardest things a man can do. You showed that beautifully. Thank you.
thank you
So, this is the first time that I had the privilege of watching this UA-cam channel. Pleasantly surprised as to the quality and totally heartbroken as to the answer his mother gave. I didn't see it coming and it shocked me. I can only imagine how it left him. Good interview and great story.
Thanks Alex, that means a lot
For some UA-cam content, there must not be any "Dislike" button. How can someone dislike this video? What a wonderful and human story this is? Wonderful. Always a believer in Seth's words.Always. The man is so underrated.
arka das 👊🙏👍
Thanks a lot. I love you and envy too bcz you are just few metres away from my GOD, my idol. And I too want to interview you. Hope you would not reject me.☺
Life is difficult, we are born with parents but how we grow up makes the difference, it's quite very difficult when both parents get married again and you are blessed and cursed as well at the same time with 4 people who hesitate to love you back compared to biological parent family.
Sometimes it's like being adopted!
Even siblings looks little far from us born from same parents...
It hurts, I been through and trying to impress all of them but there's a distance, an attachment that makes me fell losing always, it bites me..
Someone really said truly "step-parents takes away our bonds",
The passing time and all efforts to be assured and counted seems an infinite battle..
I don't know if my life will have better storyline but I am happy though with my wife and kids,
Thanks for relating.
I love how you persisted after all those failures. You are the hero for me. Hope you are doing great

Thank you, I need those words. "No one is coming". I have been using social media to get rescued. In other words, I have been hoping my words were enough action, which they aren't. Save myself, I need to be a survivor.
SheSaid Pics thank you 🙏- Go get ‘em!
SheSaidPics, I really resonated with this. Thank you.

Thank you for being real and vulnerable. We need to hear this from you. May you always be healthy, blessed, and courageous.
This story touched my heart. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I got inspired by you, and this is exactly what I needed to hear. I have been looking for jobs and I lost motivation. Sometimes we put ourselves in a victim position, when in fact we just need to understand that no one will be there. Nobody's coming, so let's do it.
