Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that my new book, Things That Matter, is finally here. I put my heart into it, and I can’t wait to share it with you. You can pick up a copy at www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/676394/things-that-matter-by-joshua-becker/
This is such a good message! Thank you! I'm sending this to my dad who gave up two potentially lucrativ career options to teach others the skills he had. He has made a huge difference in the lives of countless students and others! And he has made me so proud of him for it all. He needs to hear from someone else that what he's chosen is worth so much more than money! Thanks for sharing this message! God bless you in your many significant influences!
Im so blessed to have found your channel and it has helped me no end in establishing a more minimalist approach to life. However - I like to challenge you as a believer if I may. You spoke about leaving a legacy, about focusing on what is actually important in life, about being a more generous person….but brother, you never once mentioned JESUS. You even opened the door when you said that we all need to think about dying. It’s like me going in and telling my patient all about how to have a healthy cardiovascular system but not actually treat them for the heart attack they are currently having. Dont forget Christ - you have an incredible platform and I love your channel. But Id implore you -dont omit the Lord.
When my sister and I wrote our mother's obituary, we were able to write that she valued people over possessions. She was a wonderful role model but it is still easy for me to get wrapped up in possessions. I needed this reminder. Thank you.
Thank you, Joshua. Great comments and suggestions. I'm reminded of story about a man asking John D. Rockefeller, "When does a man have enough money?". Mr. Rockefeller replied, "When he has a little bit more". I volunteered for many years in my town for a Red Cross Book Fair and it was one of the greatest parts of my life because of the people I worked with and the joy of assisting the Red Cross and of getting books to people. I later did some temporary office work for the Red Cross then was asked to stay on permanently as an employee. Volunteer work can give people connections that can lead to a job that matches a person's interests and talents and beliefs.
This is a wonderful message. Material and financial success is momentary pleasure. Excitement wears off and then you are on to the next thing. You are never fully satisfied. Giving is more fulfilling.
Wise words thanks. Applying minimalism to my life and discarding clutter has changed my life in such a positive way. My lifestyle is modest and am happy with that.
"4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness. 5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle." Proverbs 23:4-5
Thanks again Joshua for inspiration, encouragement and wisdom. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33
UA-cam recommended and I watched some of your sermons today and enjoyed them very much. I couldn’t comment there (understandably disabled, as you noted the message isn’t popular) so I thought I’d comment here. It’s the kind of thing I should listen to - regularly! That’s not something I can say for many things - God bless!
Thank you for the encouraging words. I appreciate them very much. I don't work at the church that posted most of my sermons on their channel, so maybe that is why they disabled the comments.
@@JoshuaBecker Oh I see! Well, I can tell you that I literally felt like God was talking to me through you - to tell me to take the first step to writing a book that’s been on my heart. Please do be encouraged! 🙌
Brilliant advice. I've fallen into this trap. I wanted significance and financial success but realise the former is the way to go. Thank you Joshua for another excellent video.
This little talk rather nicely complements Rick Warren’s ‘The Purpose-Driven Life and ‘The Daniel Plan’. He had the Five Fs in his books but you have lots of S words in your talk ‘Seeking Significance Satisfies the Soul’! Love it!
Thank you, my job is not filling my soul, but being with others helping others, should. It's just finding the right fit and place. I donate a lot, give food, maybe something in that area.
I love your channel. The messages are always clear and simply presented. I know that is unpopular in today's message of distraction and visual overstimulation. But it's so refreshing to have a channel I don't feel anxious or frustrated watching. There are only a few of you out there, so I greatly appreciate yours.
Thank you many times over. Heading out on road trip, simple and minimalist and can be done. Aspect of trip, making a difference every day and focusing on blessings and gratitude. Will be listening and applying your principles daily. Blessings and gratitude Josh.
I do room service at the hospital and I often think should I do something more successful? but the thing is I love and enjoy my job, I bring food and joy and food for thoughts to my patients at work. I like to think I am so what of a Patch Adam's to my patients I serve food to and they feel that same, which in return gives me joy and happiness in the little things I can do to bring laughter to their day to day stay at the hospital.
Great suggestion to read biographies. Doing this in my early 20s, I learned $ cannot buy happiness, particularly after reading a biography of Christina Onassis. I consciously chose to follow my interests & dreams, not $. The one thing $ (& education) can provide is more choices.
Things of this world are fleeting. People are so full of self-importance - my money, my stuff... Better to direct such emphasis onto something of lasting character.
My parents and in laws volunteered and gave charity. My husband and I volunteered and gave charity. My kids spouses came from families that did the same thing. My grandsons fix and serve food at a food pantry. This is a much better goal than who has the biggest TV or the most toys. Tina
What do I care if others thought I was significant when I am dead. I am dead, I won’t know. While I am alive, if I have success, myself and my family can live better and I am able to help others. If I feel significant, regardless of how I gain that feeling of significance, it doesn’t matter as long as I didn’t feel significant at the expense of others. Interesting topic for a video. Not sure I agree though.

My favorite on your checklist is one "heartfelt conversation." I really miss having truly enriching conversations that are intellectually stimulating!

Don't run after success. Run after excellence, and success will follow you! - Unknown

That's nice.
You're a light, Joshua! Greetings from Berlin!!

Unbelievable advice!! Agree 100%!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Love this! Success can be so hollow when it isn't backed by self worth. And, with significance, I think also, there is service.
One of the most inspiring thought by Joshua.
I want to leave a significance.

So much to take in and think about.
I love the message that you send. God bless you!
I really love listening and watching all your videos because they are so full of invigorating lessons.
So well said Joshua ~~ since my parents passed, I've adopted these principles more than ever before. 🙏👌👱♀️🌻
This is the best message I’ve ever heard on building wealth.

And usually once you start seeking significance, success appears in a form more true to yourself.
True.

Yes and Joshua you are VERY significant in the eyes of people like me!!!!
Very interesting insights, thank you.

"how do you want people to remember you"... & how you inspire others to continue to do the same :)

People working at thrift shops are happier than most other places, because they know they are giving back by providing that service.

One of the smartest people on the internet, right here. Mr. Becker, I mean. I'm not referring to myself haha.
Having in my mind and soul your words,that's how I start a new week! Thank u!
Thank you, Joshua! Money never lasts. Meaning does!!
Such wise and Godly words Joshua. You are an inspiration to so many
Thanks for sharing this is definitely grounding and needed, love from Toronto
profound message, thanks!
Lots of realizations after hearing this ❤
I always focused more on giving of my time instead of money. As a result, I'm very close to my nieces & nephews as well as my son & grandchildren.
You are so right. Absolutely I loved your talk.
This is great!
I'm a Sri Lankan Sinhalese. Ardently follow your programs. Thank you! Bless you!

Always wise! Thank you Joshua for always bringing lights through your messages 💖
Probably the best best video on this channel. Excellent insights. We need to develop an eternal perspective to really change things.

I changed when I heard the Mexican Fisherman Story! :D
What is the story?
So true so 👍 you are an inspiration Josh !
Oh my goodness that was so good! Love it!
Very well said and explained.
When we are on our death bed, will we say “I wish I earned more”? No matter how much we earn, I doubt we’ll ever say that.
What we are going to say is; I wish I lived more and worried less
Thank you for this beautiful message!
Amen! Very good truth!
What a great message and so very true!! Thank you
Live below your means !
This was great content Joshua! Thank you!
Thanks allot Joshua.
Very true bro thank u
Difficult to add to this message. God is still using you greatly.
Thank you for being obedient
awesome video , thanks for sharing it
Your videos are so inspiring! Thank you 😊
Thank you:)
Excellent! Appreciate this.
Another excellent message....thank you!!
Significant career instead of (un)successful career- Thanks Joshua!

Whatever you do for yourself dies with you, whatever you do for others lives on.
True words.
This is a wonderful video. YOU are a great success!
You are special Joshua
