- The system isn't designed for you to get ahead. If you follow the rules and do what everyone else does then you will get the same results as everyone else. Be the anomaly. Be different. Be YOU!

people can be sheep and i know family members who got married got a secure job bought a home and are unhappy and constantly need validation for there life choices. there always like look me and the life i made for my self but i see them sad and lonely and unhappy because they chose to live a life in a cage and they are way to judgmental about other people who are free and happy
True.
That's because they are jealous

U sounds a wee judgemental too. I mean...😅
You need to be careful when you follow the masses because often the "m" is silent!
Everyone follows a train of thought of some kind
150% One of my favourite sayings is "Observe the masses and do the opposite!" - you will get sh!t for it but it's worth it. I never went to university, started working straight out of school and now run my own business and have property (looking for property abroad as well!) follow the sheep and it's a sure way to fail!
That's the main reason I didn't get the mRNA shot. Too many people saying that we HAD to.
Well said and it’s on point!
I went to university and it crushed my energy, interests, & self-esteem. When I graduated I was just happy to be done.
I'm sailing through life while everyone around me has some stupid drama they chose for themselves.
Indeed😮
I learned 'do the opposite' early on. When skiing I'd go in for lunch at 11:00 and there would be plenty of room & food, then I'd go back to the slopes at 12:00 and everyone else was going in. People are PROGRAMMED. Use that mindset to one's advantage.
Ha ha. Good for you - love it.
Reverse thinking theory indicates that when 82-84% of the population is moving in one direction, you should move in the opposite direction. This 'thinking hat' can be applied to any activity, or subset of activities, from investments to getting lunch.
That's me
My poor co-workers come to work miserable everyday, barely can see their own kids, working 3-11 or 9-5 only having 8 days out of 31 days off, has of them dedicated to adult work. It's to the point that work is their life, they come to work make a big deal about little things like Maybe a pen is missing of their desk or some slight changes happened at their job. Lashing out at everyone, expecting everyone else to go above and beyond for the job because they have nothing.
I have managers pressuring me to work harder become a boss don't go part time, saying I'm being reckless. But I just want to find myself, have time for my boyfriend so I can decide if I want to marry him. I don't want to kill myself for a job, I don't want to feel trapped because "It's reality: "being miserable is apart of adult life" 😭😭 thanks for being someone to spread these messages, we don't have to be a slave to work. We can try to live!
After I left the Marines I started working a normal job again. After watching the older guys who have been working at my place for 15-20 years plus I secretly made up my mind.
1. I cannot let the little kid in me die in at a factory job.
2. I don’t want to waste 20 years or more of my life becoming pissed off that I wasted my young potential.
3. I don’t want my 401k so I don’t contribute to it. I don’t want my 401k telling me when I should retire (65). Instead in invest in stocks.
4. Coming from a Marine background I’m used to a team player work environment. In the civilian world it’s a “fxxx you, not my problem” mentality. It’s disgusting to see that.
Everyone told me I was crazy for getting married to my wife when I was 18. They even tried to lie to me about her and tell me that she was engaged to someone else. Fifteen years later we are still together.
Sweet example.
Hands down best message on the internet. Can’t believe no one else is talking about this or able to articulate it the way Tim can.
I appreciate the love!
I go against the grain to piss ppl off lol
@@TimothyWard its ok to be a little conventional but not too much
@@TimothyWard yo im 43 yrs old i live with my mother and so called normal ppl use to make me think that i was doing bad in life but u know what i never had to pay nyc rent which is high even in the ghetto and the money i make as a street vendor i use to invest in other things that make me more money but so many ppl my age in nyc are struggling with paying high rent along with other things going up , the conventional life here in nyc is making ppl loose their mind , that is why im glad that i dont live that conventional life anymore and i realize that true happiness comes from inside of me not outside and de programming myself help me realize how rich i am
Yea it's really good. I don't agree with everything Tim says but much of this message was needed
I´ve always done what I want to do and what is best for me. Right now the best advice I have is to stop looking for a relationship. I´d always been in a relationship until 5 years ago for three decades I had a husband or a boyfriend. That´s when I realized that being single was my calling at the time. Try being single and proud of it. Not involved in any kind of sexual, romantic or live-in relationship. It´s amazing how much push back I get from society as I am a single female who people think should be attached. I am loving it and devote myself to god, to nature, to myself. It feels wonderful. I don´t know anyone who is in a relationship who is truly happy. I think the time has come for us to reach up to the energy of god.
😎😎😎😎
@Marr Lena
I’m in the same boat but still in a relationship. I’m 29 and have been in relationships since I was in high school. I wouldn’t go more than 6 months without being in a relationship. It almost feels like I don’t know who I am or who I could be because I’ve always had company. It eats at me now more often.
It's kinda like when an obscure musician gets popular, then their music gets "subjectively" worse. Pandering to the masses squashes authenticity.
Yup. We don’t go to the beach during the weekend. It’s too busy. We go during the week. I don’t like feeling herded like cattle.
Same goes for investing in real estate and stocks. Sell when everyone else is buying and buy whenever everyone is selling.
Exactly!!
Hustle culture and entrepreneurship is not for everyone. For some, their 9-5 is the dream. Bottom line you have to know whose and who you are. Tfs
This is so absolutely true! It is amazing to me how people judge a person for being different, even when the thing you are doing different has zero effect on them. I know for me it can be a mundane situation, like I don't eat much at all during breaks or lunch at work, and this triggers many questions and disapproval. It does seem if a person does not follow a norm it is upsetting. I believe if people can't get you into the heard mentality it is threatening , you are not conforming. Another, what you don't want 18 hours of mandatory overtime per week? Lol.
Totally agree... when I didn't eat meat, some people were almost offended. It was the strangest thing ... instead of respecting my wishes, it was like, oh look at her, she doesn't eat meat .... she thinks she's special lol
Find that too with mundane things too like the clothes I choose to wear, many times not seasonal appropriate according to others or am too dressed up. I just want to be me and that makes me the most happy.
This is what they ought to be teaching kids in school instead of programming them/us to follow the system!
That's the main reason I didn't get the mRNA shot. Too many people saying that we HAD to take it.
The scariest thing to observe, experience and realise is how little there is that obstructs your way and how many successful people are keen to helping you once they see that you are serious about your goals.
The second scariest thing is to realise that 80% of people were too ADHD to read the 1st thing to the end.
*_Nothing Gets Paid Forward When You Follow The Crowd!_* 🥇
_~ Timothy Ward_
In High School I played running back on the football team, I had some trouble running one particular play, finally my coach came to me and said, cut it back against the grain, next time we ran the same play, I cut against the grain and came success. Fast forward 30 + years, that advice is still relevant and transitioned over into my personal life
Most people want the stability and routine of working weekdays, 9-5. It also has to do with 'running' a family. I wanna have no routine and work other hours and other days, whenever I want to for any amount of time I like to. Don't wanna be part of the herd or be active when the herd is. Hate mainstream but it never rewarded me that I wasn't following the herd either.
In summary, this goes with the saying that says: When we follow the crowd, we'll typically go no further than the crowd.
I am so glad a lot of us are waking up to this true reality. Keep awakening brethren
Keep being wild and free, man. ❤
Never lose your independent mind!
Ive been using the mindset of doing the opposite of others for awhile. Ive only experienced positive results. ✌🏿
Tim, I can not express how much I wish I could get to talk to you in real life. You are that kind of old uncle who gives really good advice. Keep up the great work.
I did conformity for 20 years in the Air Force. It got me where I am today. When I retired I had to get creative...had to get weird and unusual which is fine cuz I'm weird and unusual..found my happines out on the road working on big trucks and driving buses, despite having quite a bit of collegiate education when I left the military. I drive entertainer motorcoaches now and everyone wonders, " how did YOU get that job!?"😂
Work as much or as little as I like and pays ridiculously well.
Love these type of videos! DO THE OPPOSITE of everyone else! I went to Miami during the height of the 🦠 and LIVED LIKE A KING FOR A FEW WEEKS
Same !!!
For most of my life I played by the rules and I didn't see it getting me anywhere. I went back to school and got another degree in a field that I knew and enjoyed. I video chatted with some folks from my classes and I came to find out that a lot of them didn't seem happy in the positions they are in. Their expressions made me realize that I was better off working towards doing what I brings we joy then going along with the program. Grant you I still work at the same job I had while attending school but it allows me some ounces of freedom to work on other things and not be weight down by work. Going against the grain is not easy but necessary if you want to create the life you want.
Amen to that. I certainly work 40 plus hours a week sometimes more, but I'm still a deadbeat according to my dad because my sister works less but is very successful. More me success just meant working harder for me and it was killing me. I still work for a living, but I'm done with this consumer driven society. Now I volunteer and invest in serving my church and helping others because when I help them, they also help me and that means so much more to me then money.
Work - always worked weekends and holidays to get that extra money. To me it was a win win. Parks are not packed during the week. Doesn’t matter what day you do your holiday.
Love- my husband is obsessed with fishing. He signed up for tournaments for every weekend . I decided to travel for 3 months with the kids. I’m visit grandma in FL then my mom in Myrtle Beach. The kids are excited. So everyone thinks I’m crazy leaving my husband for 3 months. He can do what he wants and we can do what makes us happy.
That title is what I have been doing since before the time I have real memories of. The people telling me to follow their instructions were miserable, had to work all day, had no agency in their own decision making, and lived for work and paying bills. So yeah, I always knew that going against them was the way uphill while society is spiraling downwards. Now I live "in poverty" in a forest cabin, and will use my old camper to move to my new place literally up the mountains in a sunnier climate. More space, more quiet, and a view from my terrace that is nothing but mountains and forest and the ocean just beyond that. Sure, getting groceries will take some time and effort with a big backpack and a BMX, but I plan on growing a fruit forest to live of myself, and a vegetable garden to cook for my pack of rescue dogs. Space a plenty :D
Sounds amazing :)
I resonate to this....I'm the person who always "takes the road less travelled", so to speak and I have had made my life interesting and fun along the way - I've created my own happiness/happy life
This is my favorite video of yours so far. I was just thinking about how everyone is trying to be an entrepreneur now, and feel a sense of dread about this. I think we know in our gut when things are not "right" yet the push to follow is hard to resist. Even with some of my closest friends who do give me valuable advice, I sometimes have to remember to ignore their advice and turn inside and follow the beat of my own drummer. I've had some very difficult struggles due to my own wiring of my brain and sometimes don't trust myself. Yet it is so true what you say. We have to learn to listen harder to our own inner voice. We all have wisdom whether we know it or not. Thanks so much for that reminder.
Thank you Tim I really needed to hear this and I agree. Do the opposite of what everyone else is doing 😊
Jim Roger's, "Do the opposite of what everyone else does in order to get rich."
"The system isn't designed for you to succeed". Sad, crazy, upsetting...but completely true. It was at one point, I believe I was the last of the generations to actually "live" in that system. I'm 60, and I've done alright. But I don't know how the younger generations are going to make it. I really don't. Something has to give, but darn if I can tell what it's going to be. The Republicans and Democrats are in a fight, sucking the entire nation into it, and the only loser in the battle will be working americans.
Then greed took over. And efficiency reports. Took the human element completely out of life and social media sold it out.
I feel like I’ve always done things differently than others I have followed my gut which has led me to developing many skills and becoming more capable than anyone I know who’s my age. I have never valued the same things that the majority seems to value. And It has only made me lonely feeling like I don’t matter
I’m going to save the long message and thank you for your content. Just subscribed today and I’m on a path. You’re inspiring to say the least.
Welcome to the channel/community! I appreciate the kind words!
My parents raised me and my 3 brothers to work hard and not promoted this false victimhood in today's society. I used to drive Greyhound buses for 15 years and now I'm driving trucks now. I met my wife in the Philippines in 2002 and got married in 2010 and we are still married, my parents been married to each other for 33 years. Thank you very much Timothy!
Oh if only all moms were like yours and mine. My mom raised me right . I blame my stupid ass for all my stupid mistakes. My mom was amazing .
Great message! No one in the "normie" world gives this kind of advice, but it is the best. The scenery and beach there looks amazing too. Cheers! 🥰🔥👍
Very true and wise words, I relate. Be the anomaly!
i have no words... all i can say is.. yes
I definitely slid back in 2022 and I'm feeling stuck right now I have a lease that's not up until July and I have a nine-to-five job that pays fairly well but it's super stressful I have nothing left in me after the day to work on my side projects my brain is completely emptied out. Plus I have to work a lot of overtime just to get my work completed. I escaped the matrix back in 2015 that was the happiest I ever was. Now I'm so disheartened because I'm back scraping to get out.
So True!
I went to work for the Casa Marina Key West in 2001, $750/Mo. for my bungalo right off of Whitehead street.
Thank you Tim! Genuinely from the bottom of my heart! I've been living the conventional life lately. I know it works for some ppl but others it does not. I am fed up! All I wanna do is travel and make movie's, and vibe. Capitalism is a blessing and a curse. You have really changed my life and expanded my mind ever since stumbling on your channel in the year of our lord and savior 2019. Thanks for all that you do!!
It's my pleasure brother! I'm so glad you've been getting something from my content. Good luck with the traveling and filmmaking!
I’m using American money to go live in cheaper places.. our money goes a very long way in other parts of the world.. you can live comfortably and not work for a year on 10k in many places.. I’m going to El Salvador for one year.
I'm not willing to participate in the definition of insanity. If I did it and it didn't work for me, then it's a wrap. I'm not scared to live life on my terms. Im scared to live it on the system's terms.
I told someone I looked up to when i was 13 AND DUDE SAID DON'T MAKE MUSIC NOW I HAVE HUNDREDS OF FANS GOTTA DO YOU
Unfortunately not everyone has the mind frame required to do this. With that said people are also always able to change for better or for worse. But this is very well said my brother and a great message. Many blessings 🙏🏾
Everything starts out with the highest purpose, the highest vibration. Eventually mass consciousness drags it down in vibration.

Always follow your gut- Timothy Ward
Tim, it is my "weekend" from retail work and I've just discovered you channel while I was thumbing through the usual van-lifer videos. For the last couple of years I have been plotting my escape from my current state of affairs. I just found your video on giving up on the American dream and I'm telling you, it was SO refreshing! I've tabbed the website for the Old Faithful and am excited to apply when the time is right for me. That seems like a place I would like to work.
I am energized by the things you are saying; it really hits home. I want to feel free! Now I feel like I am really going to get serious on making change for my life; it's encouraging to see all the people who have commented on the various videos you've made. So many are making the change. We are all so inspired that you have taken the time to share your life experiences and throw ideas out there for future possibilities . . . . Thanks for all you do here on the Tube!
Guru Tim with the hard hitting life advice!! Thanks for posting this
I found your page about a year go. I love the consistency and authenticity of your content. You always stay true to your mission and intent.
SO TRUE TIM!!! DO WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO DO!!! AND YOU WILL SEE THE DIFFERENCE!!! THANKS FOR SHARING ANOTHER GREAT MESSAGE!!!🙏🏽❤️👍🏾👍🏾
I’ve always been an outlier 😂
This is my favorite content ever, thank you so much tim :)
Thanks Stephanie! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I needed this message. Thank you so much!
I retired at 57 years old and do not own a home. I'm now 60 and love the freedom of living life on my own terms. I've never followed the crowd.
This is one of my favorite videos by you, Tim!
Thank you 😁
I have been trying to convince my family and friends about the abundance given from the universe. I have totally lived my life with this belief for the last 12 years and I can testify I have been totally provided for with pure joy 😊
I did the same thing last january. Rented a condo right on the beach in panama city beach for an entire month. It was only $2000 since it was off season. Loving my child free life!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Timothy, thank you for the insight. Everything you say makes perfect sense.
I feel everybody can bean entrepreneur BECAUSE There is an abundance of resources. Not everyone wants to be an Entepenure and that's okay.
I feel that anyone can be an entrepreneur but I don’t think it’s for everyone. I could see a time in the future when it’s touted as the ‘only way’ to make a living. Much like college and a corporate job is the norm now.
The takeaway is to stay ahead of the curve.
I work as a teacher. Not many people get for this job. But I love working only 16 hours a week.
“Mom, I want to sell everything and move to China!”
“Aww you can’t do that! You cant do that!”
LOL😂
Powerful message.
The Sub mind doesn’t speak English, but it speaks to us and we understand it 😮😮in our own language
(Unless it is actually a bad idea) If someone tells you that something is "stupid" or "doesn't work," that idea may take you the distance you wanted to travel in life (money, fulfillment, satisfaction, peace of mind, etc.). Besides, following the crowd generally leads to more depressive states compared to following your own rainbow, dreams, and desires.
Thank you, Timothy. I'm learning how to move around, be more flexible, and be nomadic in my mind, body, and spirit. Your content is so simple, yet somehow hits so hard. This is what I love to describe as "having a free spirit!"
I love that the flat cap is back 😊
Thanks Lee!
"because they can't speak english". Wow, that is something I also think for a long time. I always wondered why my dreams are full of metaphors and allegories. Then I thought: "Maybe because the subconscious does not speak a language like we do but a language with images and associations..."
Language with images and associations = Chinese characters (Kanji in Japan).
Tim always coming up with good angles!
Too true! When you are trailblazing, there's no one to ask advice!
Great talk, Tim. It really resonated with me. And beautiful scenery too. Keep being your authentic Self 🙂
society makes you guilty if you dont conform to the big group... they tell you that you are ill and need a therapy 😂
WOW - this video literally spoke directly to ME!
You spoke my name Timothy! I'm a fan of your mentality! Very similar to mine. Keep speaking that Universal Truth!!! Life is definitely what you want it to be. I stay fighting the herd to stay in my own Universe. Now that I know I am not the only one out here with this mentality I am completely breaking free from the hold of society.
Tim in Morpheus mode ! 🔥 Preach ! 💯
Quit looking and you will find the right person for you
Wonderful advice
been having this mindset since a kid tim lol an people always ask man how you stay so happy all the time it can be 5:00AM at wrk im laughing an playing...i never let society push me into a life i didnt want ...you right good good message !
It always does Tim. In one way or another. Life always works out better. One way or another.
I knew this for a long time for the hotels. Don't go on vacation when everyone is doing it. You get the masters room in hotels for a cheap price.
Hello Mr . Timothy and everyone. Wow great Topic. I thought I was the only one doing the opposite of everyone else. Doing this for years …it’s rewarding!❤❤. Mr. Timothy the whole area you’re walking through is amazing. I know the whole area…..my Mom’s friend lives right off the Beach near that parking lot in a Gray & White House…..He’s a really cool Guy. I wish you could show us more around others at the Beach sure looks refreshing 👍🏿
I love this and have thought this too. I’m just working on implementing it more. I think that’s why I get so bored so fast.
In my life right now I’m just trying to figure out where God wants me 🤷♀️ and right now I just want to be close to him and work on my sobriety it’s what is more important mental health and my body and what I put into it. God wants me to focus on healing my body right now. So that’s that. Just kind of waiting on the next steps but also just taking action.
Also I get so sick and tired of people telling me (mom and ex boyfriend) you need a job you need to pay rent yes I get it but they are both so in denial and I’m just not and clearly that makes me an outsider oh well
But the only reason they bug me about it is because I pay so much in rent it’s annoying 🤷♀️
I wouldn't focus so much on what God wants, I'm not atheist but alot of people will try to use religion to controll people. If God gave me life, I assume he/she/they wants us to live it, enjoy it. Until he himself comes down and tells me himself I won't just believe anyone. God is good, so believe he wants you to be happy!
Been there in 1994, SC Myrtle beach. Best time of my life, on 4 th of July. And US friends made me a moonshine to overcome my cold🤭
Thank you 🙌🙌
"Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed." - Terence McKenna
YES TIMOTHY
You are so right!!!!!
This reminds me of the movie Glengarry Glen Ross. Al Pachino at the Bar was saying something very similar. Thanks bro.
Here here! Tim.. I hear you
So true Tim 😊
A message worth listening to✊🏽
Great message
This is what I’ve been sayinngggggg. Whatever is done in mass is NOT special
To find another brother named similar to myself with such a similar mindset is insane 8:05
great show! Thanks
