"Going to the gym for the rest of your life IS going to the gym today."
I love this because it encapsulates the reality that life is so much less beautiful and easy than we wish it was. I was thinking about it today as I drove to work passing a cornfield: I've seen music videos of musicians wandering through cornfields, or mountains, or whatever and it looks so inspirational. But do it yourself without the cinematography and the music and all you're doing is walking through a dirty cornfield. All the aesthetics are gone and it's just real life. Everyone wants their life to play out like a beautifully shot music video, but it's just not reality. Going to the gym every day sounds so great, but doing it today does not. Find beauty in the hard work, mundanity, and realness of life, not what you feel like life should be.
Yeah i recently discovered the idea of actually having the resting time where you're not just filling in your spare time with some task but just existing. It's important to just appreciate the rawness of real life sometimes.
Speak for yourself alright. You are doing a fantastic job at projecting. also repeating what other people says and rephrase it doesn’t make them like you more. Trying so hard to gain approval from this pale hairless mastermind
Tipp: Dont try boring fitness stuff, but achieve skills. And dont forget about mobility.
I would add that it's also a matter of conditioning. If you aren't used to finding beauty in the ordinary, then it will often seem like the beauty isn't there. But it is. And it's different than the "cinematic" beauty we've conditioned ourselves to believe is the goal, but I'd argue it's even more beautiful. It's entirely about perspective. For instance, lots of people seem to resonate with my cinematography in this video. People have been talking about how much my cinematography has improved. But if you break it down, all I'm doing is going out with my camera and observing the world around me, letting the beauty reveal itself -- and I capture it as I see it. I didn't create the beautiful images, I recorded them.
@@betterideas Meditation is the vehicle that gives you the ability to do that, I believe. Being lost in thought (like how almost everyone is) is the only thing that's getting in the way of experiencing life as it is (truly beautiful). I remember 3 years ago I was meditating every day for 10 minutes and did it for 6 months straight. Let me tell you, my life flipped 180 degrees. And I noticed it in the simple things of every day life. Watching the sunset or just going for a walk without being overwhelmed by concepts allowed me to live the best moments of my life. Sad thing is I stopped meditating after that period and came where I am today, not liking my life for the last couple of years. I'm going to start living and stop entertaining the concepts my mind is throwing at me. Thanks for the video Joey!
In Alcoholics Anonymous they tell you "One day at a time." So many newcomers walk through the door with the thought, "I have to not drink for the rest of my life," and that can be extremely overwhelming. So, one of the first things they must learn is to simply not drink today. Tomorrow will take care of itself, so focus on what you can do today. Some folks even break it down to hours and even minutes. Just focus on what you can do in this moment. Such a simple concept, but it can be so hard to follow through on, so we'll add, "Easy does it," as in, just don't take things so seriously. Focus on one thing at a time and let process play itself out, and as long as you're moving forward, even if you have to take a few steps back, that's okay.
I remember when I first got sober, my sponsor would tell me, "Easy does it," but I took it to heart and just slacked off. I never looked for a job, I isolated, I spent too much time plopped in front of the TV, I got lazy and lethargic, and miserable. And bored. I was ready to start drinking again. So, one night after a meeting my sponsor sat me down and said, "David, I know I told you 'easy does it,' but I have to add something. 'Easy does it, BUT DO IT.'" It was an "either shit, or get off the pot" situation. I had a choice, either get off my ass and do the deed, or start drinking again. And I didn't want to start drinking again, so I got off my ass. And though I'm still a bit of a lazy bastard, I still get off my ass when needed. One day at a time.
Thank you
Very inspirational, thank you!
Nice man.. 👍
Keep doing it man. I support.
this is simple and brilliant
How does this guy know what everyone is going through
He s a wizard
Literally had the same thought as he posted this. Woke up feeling extra apathetic and he drops this gem.
Simple: He’s in your room with you: you just don’t know it - yet.
@@antonchigurh3226 Yeah in under y desk:D
Because we’re all going through it. Because our lives are all incredibly similar, and it is often easier to find those commonalities and work through them together rather than isolate and continue believing we are the only one suffering.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how cinematic Joey's videos have become?
Yes we can, I wonder which type of Camera he has lol
It's such a joy to watch each time!
Skill share really works. well he is also super talented and persistent

I disliked my life at some stage, what helped me through it is changing everything that was holding me back including and most importantly the wrong friends as they influence you the most whether good or bad
What if you don’t have friends at all

*"You never interact with the goal, you can only ever interact with the process"* Great video dude. I'm loving the extra depth in your content over the last year. Thanks! Really inspiring me to step up my videos and go deep
this is it! thank you.
I never bothered to differentiate between life and living. I thought that I just had to live the life I wanted because life…was just life, and things would happen without any control, but every time, my expectations weren’t picture-perfect. Because I kept pushing choices. I kept supporting myself with motivational quotes, telling myself, whatever happens, happens. When that doesn’t reassure me, I tell myself: “I have to make that choice.” Though subconsciously, I keep pushing it further away.
So hearing this…wasn’t a wake-up call. But it was something I needed to hear. Life is living in the moment. I don’t know how to live correctly, but being decisive is the only way forward. If I keep letting my life go the way it is, I’d be stagnating. Thank you for creating this video. Because even if I know that life can’t be controlled, I’ve never really tried to change the way I’ve lived.
I love this response so much! I feel the exact same way. Though I have been making strides towards my ideal life, it’s so easy to get caught up in the “for the rest of my life” trap and get overwhelmed. It’s really just one day at a time and experiencing living for what it is
I really hate my life but i can't end it because my mom would be very sad and end her life as well, so i'm just standing here with no passion waiting slowley for death to come.
Same I know I’ll never find any happiness in this life and if I do it will be fleeting and not worth anything, so I drink and don’t give a shit anymore, once you see the world as a ridiculous joke that shouldn’t be taken seriously it becomes easier and more fun.
Can’t relate more. My mom is the only reason i’m still alive. I just feel empty with no desire at all
Trust in the blood of Jesus for salvation.🩸His blood cleanses us from all unrighteousness. It’s only by faith in what Jesus did. Not by works, nothing we do can save us from hell. All it takes is faith, which is trusting and relying on what Jesus did, relying on his blood atonement for your salvation.
The gospel is 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV only: “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”
Romans 3:25 KJV only: “Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;”
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV only: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
After you’ve received salvation through trusting in Jesus, you can’t lose salvation, because you are then sealed with the holy Spirit until the day of redemption. Ephesians 4:30 KJV only: “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” 🙂

This couldn’t have come at a better time for me. It’s so important to remind ourselves that we are in control of our lives and the outcome. We’re all gonna make it!!

True. I live in a war zone, so quite often it feels as if I just don’t have control over anything, even though I do a lot of volunteering and stuff. But this video has actually lifted my mood🤗
Not always in control if your life

Hope you’re doing well
I watched this twice because you have such an amazing talent for illuminating through storytelling. Every time I watch one of your videos, I think to myself, "I kinda knew this but this video made me really _know_ it." This video in particular reminds me of a Bible verse which says, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
I'm so grateful that I discovered your channel and that you're still healthy, capable and willing enough to continue to share seemingly simple ideas from your brilliantly unique perspective. I'm super appreciative of the videos you've shared and always super excited for the upcoming videos. :)
It's been so long I've felt true joy, that wonder, that hope, looked forward for things to come. I can't even remember. Life is just pushing through every day and living for the sake of family
I love you bro for this introspection of life. I am a depressive person that uses logic to differ through it. This really helps
Life sucks and we are all just waiting to die
Yep I’m one of them, I’m just here just to annoy people i hate, i never asked to live, so why not do things annoying. It’s not like gonna get my a reward for being good person.

This was beautifully done. "Going to the gym the rest of your life IS going to the gym today." We can input anything we want in place of the gym. Almost anything we want in our lives we can create if we give it enough time and effort. Thank you for this video. There's much in here that can be meditated on... Tho it really comes down to action. And a little action over time day after day is like compound interest. It only gets bigger and better but we'll never know how big or fast it'll grow until we start.
Thanks for the video Joey. I think you stand apart from other "productivity" UA-camrs in that you make genuinely original content - and not just a rehash of some idea.
I really liked the microcosm analogy you took in this video. You clearly have talent as an author but combining the script with such an appropriate imagery - hats off man! Keep up the good work!
I just entered some weird stage of hopelessness, dissociation and existential crisis.. I barely have a grasp on what's real anymore. Everything seems relative and so distant. It seems like I'm kinda living up to my name, haha (= strange/stranger)
I don't know if I'm actually living or just surviving through all these years.. thanks for the video, tho. Perfect timing
I feel the same. Each day I wonder if life is worth the effort. Not suicidal, just wouldn't be bothered if it were to end. Change is needed.
Feel the same, horrible waking up each morning with a feeling of dread in the stomach
i get you. i feel like the truth is that we will never be able to understand anything completely, so we should just all create a way of living that works for us; create our own reality. when you start thinking of everything way too much, it's easy to get caught in a loop of thoughts that lead nowhere. just create what you feel reality should be like. it's your life and you can live it however you want:)
Life is about living the good and the bad days.... And oh dude the bad ones look like they happen more often.. But even tho, if I have learned something is that after The bad days, there comes good days, and after The good days... Well yeah, there also must come Bad days, thats just how life works I guess, or how our living works.
(If you are having the worst Day of your life, or you simply feel like this crap sucks, remember, after Bad days, there comes good days, and after completly horrifying days, there might come totally Amazing Days.... Or thats just how my brain procces this crap Lol).
I feel you, I am going exactly through the same thing...
i love the fact that i absolutely expected nothing from this video, thought its not even gonna touch me a little, and now im sitting here and crying, while at work, just because you chose to say very special words in this video. you just spoke to my soul man. to my inner child trying to break free since 15 years, and i just cant describe how good this felt.
im gonna watch this everytime i feel down from now on... this was really eye opening. Even though the whole concept of this video was already something i had heard about alot, i never really understood it. That you even could divide life from living. and i just love the way you use words, and other stylistic ways of making this video have an impact on people. Thank you man
saw you channel a long time ago and subbed just because i thought there might be a video someday, which i wanna watch, i am SO GLAD that i did that !
Recently I started filling my bucket again after many months of self-doubt and anxiety that followed something over a year of abuse I went through by my "best" friend. For a while now I've been watching channels like these, and slowly but surely they helped me realize that we aren't always in control of ourselves in life but we are in control of how life makes us feel.
This summer I've found real friends that have given me invaluable lessons and experiences I wouldn't trade anything in the world for, and I'm on my way to be running XC for my school. It's never too late to start anything in life, and I think a good quote I read somewhere was "We don't have anxiety because of who we think we are, but because of who we think we are not."
Man this video hits hard! I was waiting for you to make a video and was wondering why it took so long but now I know. Your filmmaking is getting phenomenal, I loved the visual theme of the ball. The editing was so tight, I never got bored for a second. Your filmmaking made this very important message come to life. Well done my friend!
Joeys cinematography never disappoints!
Thanks for the wisdom Joey! Love your work.
I finished my work early today so I decided to spend some time by the lake, in the shadow. I came across this and so I listen and just stare in front of me, breathing slowly. There are families playing and dragonflies chasing each other. There's a duck that is swimming towards me. I watch the reflections of trees moving on the water surface and think that no one ever sees the same thing twice. I think that one of the very important qualities that will make you see purpose in your living is noticing the details and recognizing yourself in them. Your part in everything. No matter how insignificant or small, you are here for the sake of experiencing it all. Maybe sometimes it feels like there's not much more to it than this simple fact but that alone should soothe you to not be too worried and afraid of failing but most importantly, actually living.
I'm not going to lie, this video has me currently shook. Has me taking a hard look at my life, I'm someone who's lived a life of regret, pushing away every opportunity, no friends and just going into a cycle of coming home from work, getting paid at slightly above minimum, drinking and browsing the internet until I fall asleep only to wake up doing the same shit over and over again. I hate it, in fact I'm prepared to just go and I have no idea what to do.
Hey you seem to have a lot of things on your plate, do you need someone to talk to?
I feel you
Unfortunately I also have no idea what to do as I'm in the exact same situation.
I can't believe it..I've been wandering about this today since morning and couldn' define it in words.. still can't completely, but I'm so closer now. Thank you Joey! I've been following you for couple of years now and can tell that you helped me a lot!
I've got a disease 5 months ago from a collegue(prefer not to name the sickness) , tried all cures but didn't go well and I'm still stck, the thing is I feel my life is over, can't do all the activites I wanted because I can contaminate people ...So I'm home and I'm still very young, I've just graduated, I felt it wasn't fair, that I lost a life I never enjoyed, I never really lived, spent my time planning for the "after degree" days and when they finally came, I've got sick and can't do anything anymore -- I just wanted to tell people live right now, there are no perfect moment, not after the degree, after the marriage, the promotion etc -- just make it perfect and do whatever you wish -- I just regret I never and will never have the chance anymore, Thank you Joey, your video made my day a bit bright after all the solitude I'm in.. good job on the cinematics too , you improved very much buddy

This has to be the best video Joey's done so far. I've watched it so many times now. The message is so clearly and beautifully presented. Thank you Joey :)
I’m so fond of this video😍😍 It reminded me of the chapter in the book by Dale Carnegie “how to stop worrying and start living”. It was said that we need to live today, only this certain day and have no perspective. Of course we have plans for tomorrow but how knows, whether we accomplish them or not)
Thanks a lot for this video!!!
I just want to say that the timing of the release of your videos is always opportune. I swear I needed to hear this today. Thank you for being genuine!
Bro, I barely ever comment on YT but, felt I had to send some appreciation your way.😁I've been watching and getting value from your vids for a long time now. Your vids have inspired me with escaping my funk many times especially coz they always seem to coincide with where I am in that moment. Also love the approach you take, its almost like they're cinematic reminders to yourself that we get to draw value and inspiration for as well.
Keep up the great work man🙏
When you are able to reach a state of concentration, take your performance to the next level, taking advantage of every little opportunity, you are unstoppable.
At a moment were my small circle of friends have taken a reboot of the everyday monotonous life. Some have deleted all sorts of social media, taken a step back from the overstimulation,some are now focusing on themselves finally and all that.
Such videos do help and thank u Better Ideas,the videos are always self prospective.
I've asked myself those questions today and you really made this video at the right time for me, thank you.

Joey, these videos are incredible not only in cinematic ability, but in your writing. The way you write, the way you portray your thoughts are so precious because not many other people have this level of intelligence. Intelligence not only in the path of the human mind but in the ability to really reach out to people and show them things within them that they never knew before. Thank you for that
Just wanted to drop a comment that I really appreciate the videos you make, Joey. They have helped me a ton in the last 2 months. I wouldn't say I'm on top of the world, but I am definitely more content with life. Thank you for that
Life is a prison I just want to be free
The timing of this video is just *chef's kiss*... just got out of a relationship a month ago, it hasn't been easy but i find that just focusing on the moment or the day in front of me is by far the best mode to operate from... living happens in the now
Thank you for making something beautiful. I appreciate you Joey. Been watching you for years now and have found your content inspirational in times when I really needed an uplift.
I love my life now. That wasn’t always the case Went through a lot of shit..
What helped me the most was feeding my mind with videos,ideas and people like you.. slowly you change the negative frequency in your head to a positive one.
Love your videos , it’s like you are in my head
Sometimes I follow a certain motion and it leads to better things, even though the motion itself is frowned upon. My go to when stressed is an awesome game and I usually do not game regularly and not just anything but sometimes I feel so burned out by life that I play certain games for 1-2 weeks excessively, like a mini vacation. Usually slightly story driven games or action adventures which let you experience things I wish I could experience in real life. This then, when done without beating myself up and guilt and expectations, gives me so much energy and motivation that I manage to implement a step in my real life that leads me closer to the experience I was searching in-game. No idea why I wrote that. I guess I want to say that sometimes if we follow the feeling of what we need and listen to ourselves, even if we or others are quick to judge this isn't optimal, it can help us going in the right direction towards a life we enjoy more.
Love your work,and the beautiful scenery.
This may sound strange but I wish I had a friend just like this guy, speaks so much sense and breaks down the most basic logic and you just sit there and you cannot fathom why you simply have not used this logic and for so long. Thanks man, it’s just super inspiring
I always come back to this channel when I feel myself being hopeless. As a 23 year old with a college degree still working a shitty job that’s not in my career this video gives me motivation to keep working to be where I want to eventually
How are you doing now?
Absolute banger of a video as usual. The most impressive thing to me is how he takes what could be a complex meta thought experiment and simplifies it into an easily digestible lesson. He's like the UA-cam version of the Reddit explainlikeI'm5
I agree. Everything you want to do starts with today, and a little more than a year ago I finally realized that by eating healthier and going to the gym almost daily to where it's relaxing to me instead of a chore. I still have some bad habits and eat bad foods, but way less than I did before where it shows in my health checks.
I've learned to TRY to stop worrying, and I remind myself when I'm indecisive to just do it. I've wasted too much time in my life thinking of how to use it better and not do anything, repeating the pattern, and getting no closer to finishing my projects or even play a video game I want to; just to be sucked into my phone at whatever UA-cam tells me what I think I want to watch or some short time positive stimulus on random stuff that I like online that I already know.
Great timing. Thanks dude! Keep doing your thing
“You don’t experience life you experience living”

I found it really hard to concentrate on what Joey was trying to convey through his words because I was so in awe with the cinematography!! Well done Joey..! Well Done!
Listening to this. Pause. Listening to this again. "Microcosms" means a lot more after knowing what he says. Beautiful. Thank you!
I crave adventure, friendship... and endless road to drive down in search of anything new and just feel alive again in the motion of things.... to feel the fresh air fill me up to the back end of my skull and laugh again at all the silly jokes and weird shit people do when there's time to just drop the act and have some camaraderie. I crave a destination I will never reach, just an endless journey with memories to be made.... something to treasure. something I can call mine and find that it is enough.
and maybe... at the end of it all.... there's the gal i've always loved waiting to see me come home to her.
all I ever asked of god..
That sounds great man
Its as if an angel sent me a sign that I shouldnt give up on life. What a nice timing
I feel content with how my life is at the moment, and I feel that I'm in control, although I do love watching Joey's videos as they have so many important messages in them and I just genuinely find them interesting and enjoyable to watch.They've always motivated and inspired me to keep going with where I am in my life. Also, the effort put into these videos!: They're so cinematic! I'm pretty sure you're into cinematography right?
Anyway, I love your videos man, keep up the work, you're truly helping lots of people out there!
Thank you, Joey. That is really something we all need to hear every now and then. Gorgeous cinematics be the way.
This man has mastered the concept of quality over quantity.
Joey, I appreciate you for not just milking this platform for money and instead trying to deliver real value when you do post. Authenticity is everything
I second this, it really does matter.
Most UA-camrs make basically no money off this platform and the ones that post weekly or more are making a significant effort and working very hard to do so. I appreciate the thoughtfulness that goes into these videos but please do not think that those who post more often are any less thoughtful.
His themes don't allow for a large output without quickly falling into repetition. One video a month seems about right.

If you’re at the lowest point in your life, you have to change every single habit that is contributing to that mental space. And I mean every single one. I did that, even though the first day was the hardest day I had in a long time, and now I go to the gym 6 days a week, got into a top school choice of mine, and have more friends. It’s not as hard once you get momentum, keep at it guys and gals!
Crazy timing on this video - I literally realised that you have to live what you want to be and you summed it up very well in this video 🙌🏼💯
I hate my life
why do you hate life
Same I never asked to be on this life
Hi! To whoever’s reading this, I hope you have a wonderful day ☀️
Knocked it out of the park with this one, mate. Well done.
Man, this video hits me so deeply. You are amazing at planting better ideas on people's mind.
I'm kinda over this help and philosophy stuff, I wish youtube wouldn't recommend it to me. At a certain point you have just been dealt a shitty hand, and what most people need more than motivational videos to shift your perspective is a government that cares about giving its populace a chance and systems in place to combat the pareto distribution and help everyone thrive. Sorry. It's like people who say that finally getting a decent job that pays well has done more for their mental health than years of therapy. You can only search within yourself to improve your life so much, when you are not the problem.
"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

I agree...
And, if you traumaticly loose you loved ones, then your career job you enjoyed, and end up having a mental breakdown.
The stress of the trauma and loss,
The anxiety it caused
The insomnia it caused
The mental illness of Depression it caused...
And anhedonia.
I'm unable to do anything anymore.
I don't have any desires.
... Lost interests in hobbies, activities....
Yah,.. I tried several times,.. but there's nothing there anymore, no pleasure.
I just sit.... unable to move.

I believe that one’s (adult) life begins when one stops living for others and stops worrying about what those others think about how one either lives or wishes to live one’s life.
Yes, that’s a run-on sentence and if it doesn’t worry me ….
Great point.
Life's main biological reason is creating a family, which means "living for others" is a main purpose of life
I can't just simply click on your videos now. I have to like, mentally prepare myself before watching. This reminds me of the famous quote from Buddhism "Each morning we are born again. What we do today matters most." For some time now I have occasionally found myself saying something like 'I have always been here. I have always been right here, right now.' and it really feels like it for a moment.
This really is next level film making. The visuals alone are stunning. Combine them with words that will deserve repeated listening to fully grasp.
Thanks so much Joey this is superb.
Showed up real sudden

Thanks Nat. Gave me a lift!
I don't hate my life, it's just hard to deal with some of the things that's happened in it that were out of my control. With social media involved it's been more of a problem of whose more in alignment of what type of individuals you'd like to be around but it's become harder to know exactly which adds to the anxiety
Very poetic and artistic video about living in the present moment and taking things day by day. I appreciate an advertisement added to the end instead of plopped smack dab in the the middle of the message. TY for making inspiring videos.
Life is to appreciate death.
👏 💯
Life is sooo overrated.
I wouldn’t say overated because i think alot hate their live.
@@MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMB agreed because there’s nothing happy in life.
I’m 22 and I recently moved to a new city. It’s the first time being on my own- let alone outside of my hometown. Though I can’t say my life is great, I can’t say it’s horrible. I go to work every day, I’m trying to get myself back into college, and I finally have financial means to have my very own things. Despite this, I still feel a deep longing sadness within my heart that can’t be explained. My days seem to endlessly go on- and when it finally ends, the process repeats once again. I can’t say that I have friends, I did but more so in high school but now that I’m older, I genuinely find it hard to meet individuals who I can share a connection with. Most days I tell myself “You know?? I might go to a bar tonight or something like that, go outside and meet new people.” I’ve yet to do that but I’m hoping that I muster the courage soon because I feel lonely as ever.
Thank you for this amazing content as always!! ❤️ It's actually comforting to think that I can't control "the rest of my life" because that's a very overwhelming thought. Today is all I can control and that's ok.
I loved this, tapping more into philosophy than anything else. I’ve learned the greatest challenge for me is just to “be.” Completely in the present, completing some sort of task that I already planned before hand.
i’ve come across this topic before and it resonated with me but seeing it again just makes me realize how i need to deeply root this mentality into my life. i’m not religious so i can’t say i believe in the supernatural or an afterlife. with that being said i think the best way i can live a faithless life and still be positive about it is by living day by day. capturing the small victories in a bubble and storing them together to make the bigger pictures of the future. taking 20 minutes to work out, taking 20 minutes to play that guitar thats been hanging up for 2 years, taking 20 minutes to break out my sketch book or go for a run. a small victory sure, but eventually i will get that bigger picture that the small moments are setting up for the me i want to be
This video man. Everytime i rewatch it I get more happy going foward. Thank you Joey, not only motivational, but also giving me hope for better days.
absolutely beautiful. the shots, the composition, and of course the message.
I like where my life is headed, and forgive Past Me for not knowing everything and not being the best I could have been. I am where I am in large part thanks to your videos over the past couple years.
"Each day is a microcosm of life"
This is so well made and thought out!
thank you for continuing to inspire and motivate a world where we seem to be starved of it. lets go Better Ideas!
I was on the verge of ending my life. Thank you for making me see things a bit differently
Stay strong and if you can't do anything just wait. It really never ends even after death will have to start somewhere so why not now? Telling this because 10 years back tried it. I am living now and living anew everyday.
thank you joey. i don’t even know where to start. you’ve touched me exactly when i needed it the most. bless people like you and please please continue to improve the world and mental well being of the people who watch.
There is no way to live if i'm stuck with my parents... i just do what they want me to do, i can't focus on my own dreams... And the idea of leaving home is truly complicated for me im 22 years old i am not studying what wish, im not doing the hobbies i would like to do, I'm feeling lost and lonely on my way. Is impossible to talk about how i feel about with them, they're both narcissistic.
I'm getting tired, can feel how my brain goes down day on day...
I HATE to work, hate being ugly, hate always being rejected, hate being alone, hate positive naive people
okay this video is just too good. well shot and very well written. the concept is just 🤌i love it
This is probably Joey's most profound video to date. As always, well said man. You're a legend. 🙏
Your videos truly are so amazing in every way. Thank you for what you are doing. You're making a difference!
Never been this early, thanks for your videos man, they help me when I can't sleep at night/3am motivation hits
I honestly just hate life in general, we're basically all forced to exist on this planet for absolutely no reason, and we're just forced to go through all of this bullshit we call living. What's worse is we make life so much harder for each other instead of making it more bearable. Even when I ignore the big issues that we face as a collective it does nothing to remedy my outlook on life, even the bullshit of daily life just annoys me and makes me wish I never existed in the first place, things like having to wake up early to go to school or work, having to eat food to stay alive, getting a cold or the flu, having an itch that I can't reach, feeling the urge to defecate, the weather being too hot or too cold, sweating and feeling really gross as a consequence etc.Sometimes having to talk to people that I care about or like is a fucking burden. Even the way I look and the fact that I didn't even have a choice to choose how I look before being forced to live just pisses me off no end. All these things plus all of the socioeconomic, geopolitical issues that plague the Earth just makes me wish I was never born.
I'll stop ranting now.
I love the many ways you describe things, it might be difficult for someone to understand something explained in one and only way
Thank you Joey for your commitment and consistency in making valuable content. Keep it going, bro.
Thank you so much! Awesome video, definitely needed this video in my life right now.
Wow nothing but tears of joy towards the end 🌸✨️❤️🔥 Thank you my friend, I wish you nothing but peace love & Serenity!
