aye man love the message, this type of stuff is good for young men everywhere but i would just say while i do agree with not being satisfied of who we are right now. It is also important that we take some time to reflect on how far you have come and be at peace with who you are at this moment. Life is short we may never see our “future”, God forbid so i feel it’s important to give yourself your flowers while you’re here. Be your best supporter and critic
23 years old (currently) when I realized I needed to be a man. Jumping job to job since 18. Living check to check at my parents house where I wasn’t charged rent so no real pressure on me. Driving the car my parents gave me, then when the insurance ran out I just drove my girls car. Then Living at my girls house for half a year. I one day looked at myself in the mirror & realized I was a loser. I got me a legit career job in sales and told myself ima get a car and my own place. That was 2 months ago. I just got my new car. Apartment is next.
“As a man, your biggest motivation is your future”. That statement hit deep because it’s so true for me. There’s light at the end of the tunnel just keep at it brothers
Yea yea, the problem is he meant that philosophy-wise, he wasn't talking to an international audience of financially disenfranchised young men in one of the most fatherless generations ever who lost THE most formative years of their lives to a worldwide pandemic, in the middle of the stupidest social studies research experiment ever called social media which has caused culture to flip sideways globally in most developed countries, during a mental health crysis that's only getting worse, while also no one's having sex which exacerbates a lot of the issues young men face at all facets. Listen, I ain't no doomer, not by a long shot. I'm a realist tilting towards optimist actually. But god damn you can't just ignore ALL that shit I said up there.
@@BusinessWolf1 Ain't no words that can fully express where i am from what i just then read up there, though i will stretch myself & say: Unapologetically & Worldly ingored Truce
I’m 24 years old, and I'm leaving this comment so that whenever someone like this comment, I can return here to remind myself what it means to be a man.
Im 24 living paycheck to paycheck still has porn addiction never healed any childhood trauma and im the youngest in our family but no one taught me how to be man other than you. im not blaming them maybe they didnt know either. I learned the lesson on the hardest route. Thank you for acting like a brother to me. I know its a long way to go since i have so many issues but i know I’ll be better.
"I didnt listen to the haters, I didnt listen the nah sayers, I didnt even hear them cause I dont surround myself with them" deepest thing ive heard in a while
I'm 20 years old, I'm Brazilian and i live in ireland, i took up residence in this country 6 months ago, I've been through a lot, i have seen a lot, i have learned a lot, but there's still a long way to go, i lost my job and i don't have money to pay rent, but nobody cares, nobody cares because everyone's got their own problems, watching this video made me realize that, watching this video made me realized that I'm still a boy, but it's time to man up, I'm going to make it, I'm going to thrive and be happy, so will you, so will us all. Thank you everyone who took the time to read this! Wish me luck on my journey
We need more like you. Not just black men or white men. Not just Christian men or theist men. We need GOOD men. Men who understand the fact that every circumstance is different, and that at the end of the day, no matter your roots, race, or religion, a man makes himself, and a man is only as good as his word and manners. How he treats others is simply a reflection of the man.
This is facts! every single word I couldn’t agree more. 🙏🏽 I’m grateful to be in this position and I hope to inspire more people and share this wisdom of God. Every situation is different, we all just need to make sure we’re never giving up and we’re all moving forward someway somehow. Thank you for your support. May God bless you.
Good point. Just because you follow a certain religion or culture does not mean you are a critical thinker. You have to figure things out for yourself and your own situation
@@Twizzyjr and a REAL atheist man can also be a good man, you clearly missed the point of the comment. A man is not determined by where he came from or what God he chooses to follow, but would instead be better judged solely on content of his character.
I’m 25 man and this shit is speaking to me. Can’t tell you how many times I fell down the dark path, and came back. I’m finding myself listening to this and I’m seeing hope again. I have a purpose, and it’s to better myself to be the best man possible
@@D.Dancer999 sometimes we have to create our own purpose. Life is too short to try and make sure everything is perfect. I think you need to look within and stop looking outward, you’ve seen this video and probably countless others, now it’s time to make real changes in your life You gotta change your habits in order to change your life
Im 25 as well one thing that helped me turn things around 180 was faith in god if ur not a beliver then i highly suggest looking for a relationship with our creator @D.Dancer999
Follow that purpose! It’s your light and the light never left you that’s why you can enter the darkness and make it back out to the light, because you are the light brother. I believe in you.
I’m a woman, not sure how I got here haha but I still clicked the video and you are truly a man of God this was a beautiful word I think everyone can apply to their lives. Love the way the Lord is using you
I realised i was a man when I was 20, I realised that no one is going to rescue me, one of the loneliest days of my life, but at the same time one of the real ones. Thanks for doing this videos dog, keep preaching the word, respect.
Beautiful video bro. Im 18 now, just graduated and working full time. And as I go on in life i realize a lot of the stuff my grandpa told me about life when I was younger is truth. Life and experience is the best teacher for everything
I am 19 and just started a job in IT thinking it would suite me. It doesn’t I hate the people there and the work is not what I wanna do for the rest of my life. My girl broke up with me today. At my lowest point. She said she needs time and doesn’t want to be in a relationship, but she also said she still loves me. I am really at a low point. I will keep pushing, change the job probably to my real dream and purpose. Thanks for the video Even though I am broken I can’t give up and the person reading this also shouldnt. Stay safe and I hope all comes like we want to
I'm 26 and believe there's no age limit to need to know this message. We don't need more people in this world like you, God chose you. What We need is to help spread your message to this world.
10:49 "every moment i'm awake, i'm just trying to figure it out." This made me cry a bit inside. alot of the "be a man" gurus will want to give you the image that there is a solution for every problem but this, this is as real and as good as it can get, because it accepts, the struggle of deciding to be a man, but you how can you not be experiencing constant discomfort, confusion and pain when you want that new path for yourself and the people you will love and care about tomorrow and today? edit: i literally teared the whole way through after 10:49, this is a good vid
everyday on the stairmaster listening to this. this is my motivation, my affirmation for the day. there will never be another may 3, 2024. thank you bro
I’m 17. About to be 18 in a month. I never do comments on videos. This video really helped me in changing my mindset, I’m always dreaming and thinking, never praying or following God. However taking in and listening to your words seriously made me realize I need to act now, work now, start figuring out now, start following God. I want to be the man that my kids are proud of. Thank you for helping me :)
Watching this as a man in my late 20s. Can't believe this young man is only 22 years old. He has a very mature mindset. He's going to do well in life. It's inspiring for someone like me who's a late bloomer to watch this. I'm grateful to say that I'm at least independent from my parents and maintaining a good job. I pay all my bills. I own my car. I got my own place. Life is good and everyday I'm learning to be a better man.
im 18 took a year of age after I finished school bro i live with my mother and she is the provider in the family I came across this video, never had my father in my life like that but that aint no excuse, thank you for this video and opening my eyes to the world ive been lost but everything u said is truth nobody really cares until you becoming something thank you bro for opening my eyes i have to becoming a man for my future children.
Just like you said bro do it for your future kids! Let that motivate you. I’m proud of your mindset brother you definitely understood the message. Let’s keep getting better 📈💯
Mehn I don’t normally write comments on UA-cam especially about my feelings but truthfully I hate my self so much. Growing up I was a very ambitious person, I was so driven. I always planned out my future, my dream physique, my business… I was a hussler but I always failed to stick to my plan. I lack consistency and discipline. Now I found my self at my lowest drained in regrets. I’m turning 22 in 4 months and i am at my lowest point financially mentally physically…let alone be where I want to be. It hurts! To whomever seeing this, please stick to your plans. Please be active. Please work on your goals. Cause trust me it hurts. Don’t fall for temptation please boys. Trust me, let my life be a lesson for you all!
Im in the same boat man. My vision is so blurred. Im stuck smoking everyday stuck in a cycle. working 9-5 monotony. sometimes i wake up with no purpose no drive and negative feelings.
Wejoow I’m in the same boat guys. I resonate so much with your stories. Get to know Jesus guys, it will transform your life and addictions. Love y’all ❤
hey man, i just wanted to type this out to say it’s never too late to be the person you want to be. you only get one life so achieve your dreams and make who you are proud of the person you’ll be in a couple of years, even in a couple of months. i truly do believe in you. you are loved and you can do anything you set your mind too. GET THAT SHIT BROTHA
I’m 19 and keep having problems with finding purpose and keep falling into bad habits and decisions. Today I reached a breaking point and stumbled across this video. Man you are right on every single account. I kept playing victim and was avoiding accountability. Thank you. This video hit me right where it needed to. Need more guys like you preaching the truth. I know a lot of other people watching this video feel the same way.
i care about all of you, i love you, we'll be okay we all will be okay, one day itll get better, one day it would all have meant something, we all are alone but together we can be happily alone
I’m 20 and been smoking for the past 3 years daily, commenting this to manifest my change. Time to level up and chases the future, time to take responsibility, time to become a man.
Quitting smoking is hard but i managed to get out of that vicious cycle, sometimes i relapse but it is alright due to the fact that i smoke once a week or so socially ( talking about weed btw). Everything is a process, trust the process
Quitting smoking is a skill. It starts with extreme mindfulness and ends in acceptance and learning the amount of discomfort that an identity shift takes. Eventually you'll reach a point where you don't give a shit if you smoke or not because you do it once a year. And that's when the camel's back breaks because you just start saying no to those and boom. You never even noticed the crossing point where you stopped for good.
was right where you are at 20 and within a year I’ve 180d. Haven’t smoked in 6 months and it’s life changing. people gonna tell you the negatives of weed and try to make you run from it, but think about how much you could elevate without it. no brain fog, no straining anxiety, daily motivation, connection with your purpose. best way i know is to rip it like a bandaid. throw it all away. the pipe, the bong, the papers, the grinder. force yourself to say no every time it’s offered before you have a chance to think about it. and even more important, fill that time with things that help you grow: gym, hikes, books, 2nd job, school. or else it gets filled with things that drown you: alcohol, sex, social media. you got this brother keep going
Same. It's not an easy habit to kick, it has taken so much of my time but I can't have regrets. I'm on my first day and I will update my progress right here in this thread
I really needed this man, I got sick of failing and wanted to get my life together, unfortunately I can say I’m a 2 time drop out, and because I was in school didn’t have a job. Now im unemployed, no school, I have nothing. Life has hit its lowest for me. I’m starting a new course and finally feel ready for the reason of I want my future kids to be proud of who I am, I don’t want my future kids to be drop outs or think their dad is a failure. I have a new desire to push, to be able to be a man and figure it. Thank you, this helped me more then you can know big guy.
im going into 8th grade and my goal is to graduate in 10th grade. These videos give me the blueprint to be my best. keep going dont stop to whoever has a dream
I’m only 15 and I’m seeing what I have been doing to myself like making my own distractions and not actually doing what I am supposed to do, not just myself but also my mom, I always tell myself since I was a child that I will always help my mom and not give her troubles but now I’m noticing that I’m not being independent, I depend on my mom everyday. I usually get the motivaton and inspiration but being consistent is what’s hard for me, watching videos like this help me realize all I need to change myself for the better, for today, tomorrow, and for the future. These videos help me get back on track and it truly helps me so much.
Bro when you said “are you the man your future kids gonna be proud of” 😮💨😢 that just hit like a ton of bricks 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 dawg just broke me down I’m 26 dawg man if mfs knew half my story dawg this spoke to me
26 years old, been battling with being in survival mode for quite some time, I just wanna say family I appreciate the words you’ve shared within this video, everything that was spoken couldn’t be more true. It’s time, it’s time to become the man I’ve always known myself to be but too scared to make the leap of faith, it’s time to look out for me, my name is Alexander, I’ve been a defender of my people in my life ever since I can remember, it’s time to defend myself and my future to carry on a legacy that everyone on this earth can remember. Yahweh or No way, Bless Up🙏🏻
I always blamed my Dad for not being there, I just turned 21 this year and nothing changed since last year the emptiness, the Loneliness all of it stayed the same. I need change and I need to be that change, this is exactly the Reality check I needed, Now it's up to me to make a difference in my life. Thank you Brother❤️
wise words man, thank u. I'm 27 yrs old and yet I dont feel like a man even though I have a job where I am the leader of a big team, live by myself in a good rented house, but I gotta tell y'all, being a man is a lot more than just being able to support yourself. The most important part is being able to take accountability of the mistakes you make, and then grow from it, being able to be disciplined and a lot more. I know I'm not there yet and none of you need to put an act of being a man. That are A LOT of 30 + yrs old that doesnt feel like they are real men cause it is not just about materialistic things, everybody can get money. Im trying to work on myself to be able to mature within myself so I can help my parents and my brothers and I feel that this is a long jorney that isnt defined by age. btw I feel happy that you are only 22 and already feel like that, our community lacks so much of this, most of us grew without fathers cause they were'nt real men.
Everything you said.. was 100% FACTS. Thank you for sharing this with the brotherhood I hope they take the time to read it and understand it. It’s all about accountability, manhood has a lot to do with the character development of who you are. The materialistic things or money only amplifies what you already are. 🙏🏽
One thing I learned and this came from my aunt a female and this isn’t just for men, but every adult needs to have a daily routine that includes goals and responsibilities to meet !
this video got me in tears man thank you. i’m turning 22 on the 26th. i’ve been dealing w mental health issues since i was 9 years old and shit isn’t as bad as it was a few years ago, but i’m still struggling and i’m still dealing with frustration and anger every day. you’re making a difference and you’re one of the people helping me change and want more out of life. just like you said we’re all figuring it out. i always constantly question my purpose in this world, while i don’t know what it is currently i do believe in making steps in the right direction. thank you and God bless you brother
man i’m 15 rn and i like watching these typa vids they rlly make me think bigger and better than before and just learning the necessary things in the life of being a man and how to be a better. thank you bro much love!
I just recently turned 18. Both my parents are getting weaker as I get older. back then I used to wish I'd get old quickly, but now I wish I could go back in time. To be a kid again with no worries apart from making my momma happy. But I try to go on, continue, cause I know life won't stop for me. I'm currently looking for a job and also trying out being a content creator and affiliate marketing. Trying to be a man, so my parents could be kids again.
4 months ago I lost my grandma. 3 months ago I lost my father. 2 months ago my daughter was born. I was so confident in anticipating my child and welcome her into the world knowing that I had a great family to support my journey of fatherhood. but then it all happened. I was hit with a reality check that nothing lasts forever. And that eventually I will have to bear it all.
I feel you brother. I lost one of my grandmas 3 months ago and last month my second child was born. These realities hit me even before all this happened. Keep moving we got this. Blessings brother
when I had my daughter at 16 I saw my future flash before my eyes, I know that God gave me my biggest blessing in life for a reason, all things that I do is for my babygirl, she didn't ask to be here, so now I must work 10 times harder so my babygirl can get the best life she possibly could get. I know when I'm in my 40s ill look back and know that all the current financial struggles I have and all the times I was stressing will be for the better good. all for her
As a late bloomer facing reality checks everyday, this shit hits heavy. Raised by women that repelled men that were trying to guide me. Finally found my words to say enough is enough.... have myself a 15yrs window
Enough is definitely enough! Let God lead you instead even if it’s just him and him alone leading you. You two can and will figure this thing called life out. I believe in you and I’m grateful my videos can help 🙏🏽
Man I am beyond grateful for this video to pop up on my fyp. God bless all of you man out there turning up everyday, for others but most importantly for themselves.
my biggest inspiration/motivation to work harder is that god is always walking by my side every step i walk, and im starting to learn to live by faith and not by fear , because even if anything happens, i will never be scared because i know my faith defeats my negative thoughts. God bless you brother, keep inspiring people to be the best version of themselves
6:23 “when you become somebody which you already are all you doing is stepping into your greatness” this stuck out and hit not every other day you here this, i just turned 20 yrs old two days ago so this is definitely a video that i needed to see this so thank you
You got the message bro! We’re already great we just gotta believe in ourselves and step into it. Happy belated birthday! With this mindset the world is yours! 🙏🏽
Realest video, I recently turned 18 last Monday, this was the perfect video to watch in my first week of being 18, thank you dude, your words will really help me through my adulthood, God bless you
Seeing this a week before my 21st birthday. Been through so much and not sure what my path is… you’ve made me realise I have to create it and show up everyday. I have to turn it all around.
You got this bro, this is going to be the best year of your life 🙏🏽 you got the right mindset now. Take it day by day, show up each day for yourself and your goals, I believe in you
I feel I will believe in myself the moment i find my calling and chase it. That feeling I will get when I know this is what my purpose is and what I enjoy doing is when I know to go harder. The problem is I try different things and end up and the same place. I feel that I am learning what it takes to be a man but its very discouraging when the question is brought up about purpose, passion, and success. I'm only 19 and I compare myself to others too much but it hurts that people are becoming successful off of what they enjoy while i still work a corporate job working for minimum wage. I have the want to try everything but never stick with it.
This video spoke to me man. All my life I've been seeking approval and validation from friends family and the like just because I had been so held by expectation for so long I didn't know there was another option. I'm 22 now just like you, with big choices I gotta make in these coming days.. but if I'm gonna be a man I gotta choose what's best for me. Not everybody else. For me. Your way and Yahweh 🙏🏾 much love
I've started business from a very young age (16) I've had successful businesses that made thousands in profit every month, but I've also made some really stupid mistakes, poor investments etc. I've lost everything and then fought to make it back, again and again. But I've still kept fighting for a better future for myself and my family. I've poured every single last cent, blood and tears into my businesses... Sometimes i just ask myself how different would life be if I just worked a normal job and saved up. I've worked so hard and made so much sacrifices, yet have so little to show for. Life is tough as a man. I'm currently 21 this year and I really hope things can change for the better. If you're reading this and you're on the road to a better future, then i pray things get easy for you and that you make it! God bless!
I'm 19 & I was about to let my dreams die today, I was about to give on everything... Working out & all that just to surf the internet but thank God I found this video right before wasting any real time. Now I'm back on my feet I feel like I have regained my purpose in life that I lost last night. I was literally about to let my business die & my main motivation is my mom... I fvckin hate the fact that she still has to work & provide for me, that's something I'm tryna change while we both still on this planet. I know that God me too & it's time to embrace the struggle.
I got accepted to a university & im currently 22. I believe in order to maintain being around like minded individuals that are younger, I have the capability to lead them into the greatness
4:18 preaching that real shit. aint even finish the vid yet, but when I say this to folks they look at me crazy like I'm thinking too far in the future.
First time I ever commented on a UA-cam video and let me say that I never thought somebody really could speak on what I think. Great words brotha, stay strong n go make it happen 💯
Choosing to surround ourselves with positive influences significantly propels us toward achieving our goals and growing into the leaders we aspire to be. 🔑
Thing is, part of going from being a boy to a man, is also becoming THE man for those around you... It's that part that's difficult, and often you can't simply do what you want to do.
True man I just turned 25 last month and I moved across the country from NYC to LA by myself on the same week it was my Birthday for my dream job. It’s been a hard transition because I left all my friends and family behind for the pursue of my dream career and future. I think long term I made the right decision but I miss my friends and is hard to build a new circle of friends and I hope I can build that here in Los Angeles, and I’m also single which makes it hard 😢.
@@ForPurposeDrivenMen thank you for the words brother I really appreciate it, it’s been a tough transition and everyday im trying to figure it out. Is a hard process and took a long time to get to this point, hopefully one day I can look back and say this was worth it 🙏🏼. I know for a fact I can rest in peace knowing I tried.
dude you have no clue how much i needed to hear this i just departed from my dream girl and i been down a lot, i was meant to see this video and from today forward this is my mindset. Thank you
man this is beautiful... and i despise this comment bcuz one thing i dislike is comparing (for lack of a better word) maturity to age bcuz alot of older men are very immature however this is very mature for a 22yr... keep it up young man🖤

Im 24 living paycheck to paycheck still has porn addiction never healed any childhood trauma and im the youngest in our family but no one taught me how to be man other than you. im not blaming them maybe they didnt know either. I learned the lesson on the hardest route. Thank you for acting like a brother to me. I know its a long way to go since i have so many issues but i know I’ll be better.
No cuts, no acting just talking straight from the heart. love to see there's still good people.

You got the message bro 🙏🏽🫡
I'm 20 years old, I'm Brazilian and i live in ireland, i took up residence in this country 6 months ago, I've been through a lot, i have seen a lot, i have learned a lot, but there's still a long way to go, i lost my job and i don't have money to pay rent, but nobody cares, nobody cares because everyone's got their own problems, watching this video made me realize that, watching this video made me realized that I'm still a boy, but it's time to man up, I'm going to make it, I'm going to thrive and be happy, so will you, so will us all. Thank you everyone who took the time to read this! Wish me luck on my journey
Time to man up! You got this brother you got the right mindset I’m proud of you. 💪🏽
Wish u the best in all endeavors
Good luck bro, make it happen
Best wishes bro 🫂💪
boa sorte man 🙌🏾 keep grinding💪🏾
We need more like you. Not just black men or white men. Not just Christian men or theist men. We need GOOD men. Men who understand the fact that every circumstance is different, and that at the end of the day, no matter your roots, race, or religion, a man makes himself, and a man is only as good as his word and manners. How he treats others is simply a reflection of the man.
This is facts! every single word I couldn’t agree more. 🙏🏽 I’m grateful to be in this position and I hope to inspire more people and share this wisdom of God. Every situation is different, we all just need to make sure we’re never giving up and we’re all moving forward someway somehow. Thank you for your support. May God bless you.
a REAL Christian man IS a good man
Good point. Just because you follow a certain religion or culture does not mean you are a critical thinker. You have to figure things out for yourself and your own situation
@@Twizzyjr and a REAL atheist man can also be a good man, you clearly missed the point of the comment. A man is not determined by where he came from or what God he chooses to follow, but would instead be better judged solely on content of his character.

lets make our future self proud 💯
I’m 25 man and this shit is speaking to me. Can’t tell you how many times I fell down the dark path, and came back. I’m finding myself listening to this and I’m seeing hope again. I have a purpose, and it’s to better myself to be the best man possible
I’m 26 and totally lost 😞 any help I don’t have any purpose and I’m tired of being where I’m at
@@D.Dancer999 sometimes we have to create our own purpose. Life is too short to try and make sure everything is perfect. I think you need to look within and stop looking outward, you’ve seen this video and probably countless others, now it’s time to make real changes in your life
You gotta change your habits in order to change your life
@@woahdaniel thanks for this I’m not just reading it I’m listening and soaking it in
Im 25 as well one thing that helped me turn things around 180 was faith in god if ur not a beliver then i highly suggest looking for a relationship with our creator @D.Dancer999
Follow that purpose! It’s your light and the light never left you that’s why you can enter the darkness and make it back out to the light, because you are the light brother. I believe in you.
I’m a woman, not sure how I got here haha but I still clicked the video and you are truly a man of God this was a beautiful word I think everyone can apply to their lives. Love the way the Lord is using you
“If we taking care of everybody else, but we never take care of ourselves, then nothing really gets done”
Facts! Cant pour from an empty cup. You got this fam 💯
I just turned 25 and I've been finding it hard to put in the amount of work and discipline.
I realised i was a man when I was 20, I realised that no one is going to rescue me, one of the loneliest days of my life, but at the same time one of the real ones. Thanks for doing this videos dog, keep preaching the word, respect.
Facts! We gotta put the work in ourselves. I believe in you bro, let’s keep working 🙌🏽

Beautiful video bro. Im 18 now, just graduated and working full time. And as I go on in life i realize a lot of the stuff my grandpa told me about life when I was younger is truth. Life and experience is the best teacher for everything

Im rooting for every man watching this. 🖤💞

I am 19 and just started a job in IT thinking it would suite me. It doesn’t I hate the people there and the work is not what I wanna do for the rest of my life. My girl broke up with me today. At my lowest point. She said she needs time and doesn’t want to be in a relationship, but she also said she still loves me. I am really at a low point. I will keep pushing, change the job probably to my real dream and purpose. Thanks for the video
Even though I am broken I can’t give up and the person reading this also shouldnt. Stay safe and I hope all comes like we want to
I'm 26 and believe there's no age limit to need to know this message. We don't need more people in this world like you, God chose you. What We need is to help spread your message to this world.
13:39 “the hardest thing is to start something that has never been there before, but that’s how you create your own way”
10:49 "every moment i'm awake, i'm just trying to figure it out." This made me cry a bit inside.
alot of the "be a man" gurus will want to give you the image that there is a solution for every problem
but this, this is as real and as good as it can get, because it accepts, the struggle of deciding to be a man, but you how can you not be experiencing constant discomfort, confusion and pain when you want that new path for yourself and the people you will love and care about tomorrow and today?
edit: i literally teared the whole way through after 10:49, this is a good vid
everyday on the stairmaster listening to this. this is my motivation, my affirmation for the day. there will never be another may 3, 2024. thank you bro
The only May 3rd, we gotta make everyday count! Stairmaster is no joke! 🔥 keep going fam 💪🏽
I’m 17. About to be 18 in a month. I never do comments on videos. This video really helped me in changing my mindset, I’m always dreaming and thinking, never praying or following God. However taking in and listening to your words seriously made me realize I need to act now, work now, start figuring out now, start following God. I want to be the man that my kids are proud of. Thank you for helping me :)
“Does your life right now gonna inspire your future kids” that part got me spinning mahn..its crazy😢
Watching this as a man in my late 20s. Can't believe this young man is only 22 years old. He has a very mature mindset. He's going to do well in life. It's inspiring for someone like me who's a late bloomer to watch this. I'm grateful to say that I'm at least independent from my parents and maintaining a good job. I pay all my bills. I own my car. I got my own place. Life is good and everyday I'm learning to be a better man.
im 18 took a year of age after I finished school bro i live with my mother and she is the provider in the family I came across this video, never had my father in my life like that but that aint no excuse, thank you for this video and opening my eyes to the world ive been lost but everything u said is truth nobody really cares until you becoming something thank you bro for opening my eyes i have to becoming a man for my future children.
Just like you said bro do it for your future kids! Let that motivate you. I’m proud of your mindset brother you definitely understood the message. Let’s keep getting better 📈💯
🔥🔥🔥
Same here bro, stay Strong 🤍
Same bro
Mehn I don’t normally write comments on UA-cam especially about my feelings but truthfully I hate my self so much. Growing up I was a very ambitious person, I was so driven. I always planned out my future, my dream physique, my business… I was a hussler but I always failed to stick to my plan. I lack consistency and discipline. Now I found my self at my lowest drained in regrets. I’m turning 22 in 4 months and i am at my lowest point financially mentally physically…let alone be where I want to be. It hurts!
To whomever seeing this, please stick to your plans. Please be active. Please work on your goals. Cause trust me it hurts. Don’t fall for temptation please boys. Trust me, let my life be a lesson for you all!
Im in the same boat man. My vision is so blurred. Im stuck smoking everyday stuck in a cycle. working 9-5 monotony. sometimes i wake up with no purpose no drive and negative feelings.
You’re not alone brother, keep going! You’re young and you got the right mindset now, it’s your time! 🙏🏽
Love the honesty bro, keep stepping and never give up!
Wejoow I’m in the same boat guys. I resonate so much with your stories. Get to know Jesus guys, it will transform your life and addictions. Love y’all ❤
hey man, i just wanted to type this out to say it’s never too late to be the person you want to be. you only get one life so achieve your dreams and make who you are proud of the person you’ll be in a couple of years, even in a couple of months. i truly do believe in you. you are loved and you can do anything you set your mind too. GET THAT SHIT BROTHA
I'm 35 and I've been living like a child for too long not taking proper responsibility for myself. I needed this video, respect.
Respect to you bro, it’s only up from here 📈💪🏽
I'm 34 and feel the same brother, we got this
@@Blkmamba757it’s Neva too late big bro
I’m 19 and keep having problems with finding purpose and keep falling into bad habits and decisions. Today I reached a breaking point and stumbled across this video. Man you are right on every single account. I kept playing victim and was avoiding accountability. Thank you. This video hit me right where it needed to. Need more guys like you preaching the truth. I know a lot of other people watching this video feel the same way.
Thank you a lot brother. I’m proud of you for taking that step to being accountable, it’s only up from here. I believe in you. 🙏🏽
"It's Yaweh and your way"❤.
Amen! 🙏🏽 ❤️
Everyone sleeping on “it’s Yahweh and it’s your way” praise be to God, guide us through these tough times.
Amen 🙏🏽
i care about all of you, i love you, we'll be okay we all will be okay, one day itll get better, one day it would all have meant something, we all are alone but together we can be happily alone
We never alone even if you feel like it God is always watching beleive that.
It’s Yahweh and it’s Your way, that’s deep.
I needed to hear that🤞🏽
Amen 🙏🏽
I’m 20 and been smoking for the past 3 years daily, commenting this to manifest my change. Time to level up and chases the future, time to take responsibility, time to become a man.
Quitting smoking is hard but i managed to get out of that vicious cycle, sometimes i relapse but it is alright due to the fact that i smoke once a week or so socially ( talking about weed btw). Everything is a process, trust the process
Let’s goo!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Quitting smoking is a skill. It starts with extreme mindfulness and ends in acceptance and learning the amount of discomfort that an identity shift takes. Eventually you'll reach a point where you don't give a shit if you smoke or not because you do it once a year. And that's when the camel's back breaks because you just start saying no to those and boom. You never even noticed the crossing point where you stopped for good.
was right where you are at 20 and within a year I’ve 180d. Haven’t smoked in 6 months and it’s life changing. people gonna tell you the negatives of weed and try to make you run from it, but think about how much you could elevate without it. no brain fog, no straining anxiety, daily motivation, connection with your purpose. best way i know is to rip it like a bandaid. throw it all away. the pipe, the bong, the papers, the grinder. force yourself to say no every time it’s offered before you have a chance to think about it. and even more important, fill that time with things that help you grow: gym, hikes, books, 2nd job, school. or else it gets filled with things that drown you: alcohol, sex, social media. you got this brother keep going
Same. It's not an easy habit to kick, it has taken so much of my time but I can't have regrets. I'm on my first day and I will update my progress right here in this thread
I really needed this man, I got sick of failing and wanted to get my life together, unfortunately I can say I’m a 2 time drop out, and because I was in school didn’t have a job. Now im unemployed, no school, I have nothing. Life has hit its lowest for me. I’m starting a new course and finally feel ready for the reason of I want my future kids to be proud of who I am, I don’t want my future kids to be drop outs or think their dad is a failure. I have a new desire to push, to be able to be a man and figure it.
Thank you, this helped me more then you can know big guy.
im going into 8th grade and my goal is to graduate in 10th grade. These videos give me the blueprint to be my best. keep going dont stop to whoever has a dream
You’re ahead of the game bro keep going 🫡
I’m only 15 and I’m seeing what I have been doing to myself like making my own distractions and not actually doing what I am supposed to do, not just myself but also my mom, I always tell myself since I was a child that I will always help my mom and not give her troubles but now I’m noticing that I’m not being independent, I depend on my mom everyday. I usually get the motivaton and inspiration but being consistent is what’s hard for me, watching videos like this help me realize all I need to change myself for the better, for today, tomorrow, and for the future. These videos help me get back on track and it truly helps me so much.
Bro when you said “are you the man your future kids gonna be proud of” 😮💨😢 that just hit like a ton of bricks 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 dawg just broke me down I’m 26 dawg man if mfs knew half my story dawg this spoke to me
26 years old, been battling with being in survival mode for quite some time, I just wanna say family I appreciate the words you’ve shared within this video, everything that was spoken couldn’t be more true. It’s time, it’s time to become the man I’ve always known myself to be but too scared to make the leap of faith, it’s time to look out for me, my name is Alexander, I’ve been a defender of my people in my life ever since I can remember, it’s time to defend myself and my future to carry on a legacy that everyone on this earth can remember. Yahweh or No way, Bless Up🙏🏻
I always blamed my Dad for not being there, I just turned 21 this year and nothing changed since last year the emptiness, the Loneliness all of it stayed the same. I need change and I need to be that change, this is exactly the Reality check I needed, Now it's up to me to make a difference in my life. Thank you Brother❤️
You got this brother it’s time to heal and evolve . ❤️🙏🏽
Seek Christ to my Brudda 🧡
wise words man, thank u. I'm 27 yrs old and yet I dont feel like a man even though I have a job where I am the leader of a big team, live by myself in a good rented house, but I gotta tell y'all, being a man is a lot more than just being able to support yourself. The most important part is being able to take accountability of the mistakes you make, and then grow from it, being able to be disciplined and a lot more. I know I'm not there yet and none of you need to put an act of being a man. That are A LOT of 30 + yrs old that doesnt feel like they are real men cause it is not just about materialistic things, everybody can get money. Im trying to work on myself to be able to mature within myself so I can help my parents and my brothers and I feel that this is a long jorney that isnt defined by age. btw I feel happy that you are only 22 and already feel like that, our community lacks so much of this, most of us grew without fathers cause they were'nt real men.
Everything you said.. was 100% FACTS. Thank you for sharing this with the brotherhood I hope they take the time to read it and understand it. It’s all about accountability, manhood has a lot to do with the character development of who you are. The materialistic things or money only amplifies what you already are. 🙏🏽
Truly said bro the battle is between you and yourself
“Part of being a man is figuring it out” Daamn you gave me goosebumps brother ❤️
🙏🏽❤️ daily progress! Thank you brother
I'm positive and I believe in myself too
God gave this man a message to speak! God loves you if your reading this.
God loves you too thank you for watching fam! 🙏🏽

One thing I learned and this came from my aunt a female and this isn’t just for men, but every adult needs to have a daily routine that includes goals and responsibilities to meet !
Facts!! I agree 100%
this video got me in tears man thank you. i’m turning 22 on the 26th. i’ve been dealing w mental health issues since i was 9 years old and shit isn’t as bad as it was a few years ago, but i’m still struggling and i’m still dealing with frustration and anger every day. you’re making a difference and you’re one of the people helping me change and want more out of life. just like you said we’re all figuring it out. i always constantly question my purpose in this world, while i don’t know what it is currently i do believe in making steps in the right direction. thank you and God bless you brother
man i’m 15 rn and i like watching these typa vids they rlly make me think bigger and better than before and just learning the necessary things in the life of being a man and how to be a better. thank you bro much love!
I just recently turned 18. Both my parents are getting weaker as I get older. back then I used to wish I'd get old quickly, but now I wish I could go back in time. To be a kid again with no worries apart from making my momma happy. But I try to go on, continue, cause I know life won't stop for me. I'm currently looking for a job and also trying out being a content creator and affiliate marketing. Trying to be a man, so my parents could be kids again.
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO!!! NOT IN THE NEGATIVE WAY (ATTENTION SEEKING) BUT IN THE POSITIVE WAY (CREATION)

4 months ago I lost my grandma.
3 months ago I lost my father.
2 months ago my daughter was born.
I was so confident in anticipating my child and welcome her into the world knowing that I had a great family to support my journey of fatherhood. but then it all happened. I was hit with a reality check that nothing lasts forever. And that eventually I will have to bear it all.
I’m sorry for your loss brother and I’m happy for your gain, God bless you bro, you’re going to be a great dad. 🙏🏽
I feel you brother. I lost one of my grandmas 3 months ago and last month my second child was born. These realities hit me even before all this happened. Keep moving we got this. Blessings brother
when I had my daughter at 16 I saw my future flash before my eyes, I know that God gave me my biggest blessing in life for a reason, all things that I do is for my babygirl, she didn't ask to be here, so now I must work 10 times harder so my babygirl can get the best life she possibly could get. I know when I'm in my 40s ill look back and know that all the current financial struggles I have and all the times I was stressing will be for the better good. all for her
“Where not going to be able to help others if we can’t help ourselves” your purpose is to help people and serve 11:57

I’ve literally been saying this too myself for the longest . I’m manifesting and working on a complete 360 in my life
With this mindset at your age you’re going to go very very far in life. Keep going man
That means a lot, thank you 🙏🏽

As a late bloomer facing reality checks everyday, this shit hits heavy. Raised by women that repelled men that were trying to guide me. Finally found my words to say enough is enough.... have myself a 15yrs window
Enough is definitely enough! Let God lead you instead even if it’s just him and him alone leading you. You two can and will figure this thing called life out. I believe in you and I’m grateful my videos can help 🙏🏽
All about the crash games here started on a whim now I can’t stop the excitement just builds 🚀
the goal is to inspire cause at the end of the day it aint a single one gon change the world. It’s all of us
We all in this together!
im happy to see people my age thinking the same as me. i hope we all grow old and healthy, love you all
Amen love you too brother 💪🏽
Man I am beyond grateful for this video to pop up on my fyp. God bless all of you man out there turning up everyday, for others but most importantly for themselves.
God bless you too brother!
my biggest inspiration/motivation to work harder is that god is always walking by my side every step i walk, and im starting to learn to live by faith and not by fear , because even if anything happens, i will never be scared because i know my faith defeats my negative thoughts. God bless you brother, keep inspiring people to be the best version of themselves
6:23 “when you become somebody which you already are all you doing is stepping into your greatness” this stuck out and hit not every other day you here this, i just turned 20 yrs old two days ago so this is definitely a video that i needed to see this so thank you
You got the message bro! We’re already great we just gotta believe in ourselves and step into it. Happy belated birthday! With this mindset the world is yours! 🙏🏽
Realest video, I recently turned 18 last Monday, this was the perfect video to watch in my first week of being 18, thank you dude, your words will really help me through my adulthood, God bless you
Seeing this a week before my 21st birthday. Been through so much and not sure what my path is… you’ve made me realise I have to create it and show up everyday. I have to turn it all around.
You got this bro, this is going to be the best year of your life 🙏🏽 you got the right mindset now. Take it day by day, show up each day for yourself and your goals, I believe in you
I get so hopeful seeing so many of us men here who are different ages resonating and supporting each other. We got this my brothers, love to you all❤
I’m 22 too, just graduated college and i’m going through the similar changes.
Thank you for sharing your perspective, it is a real feeling.
It definitely is real, I know you’ll continue to do great things brother. Congratulations on graduating! 🙏🏽
god bless man
I feel I will believe in myself the moment i find my calling and chase it. That feeling I will get when I know this is what my purpose is and what I enjoy doing is when I know to go harder. The problem is I try different things and end up and the same place. I feel that I am learning what it takes to be a man but its very discouraging when the question is brought up about purpose, passion, and success. I'm only 19 and I compare myself to others too much but it hurts that people are becoming successful off of what they enjoy while i still work a corporate job working for minimum wage. I have the want to try everything but never stick with it.
“As a man you got to think for yourself, yeah you gotta think for yourself..” not even Isaac newton on this level of thinking for real💯
Too much people let the world think for them, we gotta be the one in the drivers seat 💯
This video spoke to me man. All my life I've been seeking approval and validation from friends family and the like just because I had been so held by expectation for so long I didn't know there was another option. I'm 22 now just like you, with big choices I gotta make in these coming days.. but if I'm gonna be a man I gotta choose what's best for me. Not everybody else. For me. Your way and Yahweh 🙏🏾 much love
May Yah lead you along the right path brother, I believe in you, you got this bro 💪🏽🙏🏽
I've started business from a very young age (16) I've had successful businesses that made thousands in profit every month, but I've also made some really stupid mistakes, poor investments etc. I've lost everything and then fought to make it back, again and again. But I've still kept fighting for a better future for myself and my family.
I've poured every single last cent, blood and tears into my businesses...
Sometimes i just ask myself how different would life be if I just worked a normal job and saved up. I've worked so hard and made so much sacrifices, yet have so little to show for. Life is tough as a man. I'm currently 21 this year and I really hope things can change for the better.
If you're reading this and you're on the road to a better future, then i pray things get easy for you and that you make it! God bless!
God bless you brother! Thank you for sharing this, I know things will get better GodsPlan! 💪🏽🙏🏽
I'm 19 & I was about to let my dreams die today, I was about to give on everything... Working out & all that just to surf the internet but thank God I found this video right before wasting any real time. Now I'm back on my feet I feel like I have regained my purpose in life that I lost last night. I was literally about to let my business die & my main motivation is my mom... I fvckin hate the fact that she still has to work & provide for me, that's something I'm tryna change while we both still on this planet. I know that God me too & it's time to embrace the struggle.
19 minutes and 20 seconds of fax, the so called men around me need to hear this
Facts! 💯💯 thank you for watching brother
I got accepted to a university & im currently 22. I believe in order to maintain being around like minded individuals that are younger, I have the capability to lead them into the greatness
This man is one of the only men,who is being genuine with their content
I appreciate that a lot, I’ll always keep it genuine and real! 🙏🏽 thank you for your support
4:18 preaching that real shit. aint even finish the vid yet, but when I say this to folks they look at me crazy like I'm thinking too far in the future.
First time I ever commented on a UA-cam video and let me say that I never thought somebody really could speak on what I think. Great words brotha, stay strong n go make it happen 💯
Means a lot brother! Thank you for giving this video a chance, I appreciate your support and I’ll continue to provide value 🙏🏽
Choosing to surround ourselves with positive influences significantly propels us toward achieving our goals and growing into the leaders we aspire to be. 🔑
💯💯💯
I just wanna say thank you man. It’s good to hear someone around the same age speaking truth. You’ve got it bro! And thank you
Thing is, part of going from being a boy to a man, is also becoming THE man for those around you... It's that part that's difficult, and often you can't simply do what you want to do.
Facts! Gotta take care of those around you 🙏🏽
love this
True man I just turned 25 last month and I moved across the country from NYC to LA by myself on the same week it was my Birthday for my dream job. It’s been a hard transition because I left all my friends and family behind for the pursue of my dream career and future. I think long term I made the right decision but I miss my friends and is hard to build a new circle of friends and I hope I can build that here in Los Angeles, and I’m also single which makes it hard 😢.
You’re focused on your purpose ! You’re doing the right thing. Just make sure you connect with your family. Don’t neglect them! I believe in you 🙏🏽
@@ForPurposeDrivenMen thank you for the words brother I really appreciate it, it’s been a tough transition and everyday im trying to figure it out. Is a hard process and took a long time to get to this point, hopefully one day I can look back and say this was worth it 🙏🏼. I know for a fact I can rest in peace knowing I tried.
remind me of this everyday after a now n an ever after...
You definitely saving us bro keep going

dude you have no clue how much i needed to hear this i just departed from my dream girl and i been down a lot, i was meant to see this video and from today forward this is my mindset. Thank you
You got this!
imma leave this here so I can come back
man this is beautiful... and i despise this comment bcuz one thing i dislike is comparing (for lack of a better word) maturity to age bcuz alot of older men are very immature however this is very mature for a 22yr... keep it up young man🖤
