"It doesn't matter how expensive your watch is, it cant buy back time" that's a qoute that hit me recently, you have to take time to see what's really important in life, your family, friends and your own peace
After my divorce in early november i relized just how important peace of mind is. Its much more important than "happiness" i design my life now to be incredibly simple and peaceful and ironicly im the most happy
Sorry about your marriage. But yes peace is the best medicine when we going through life challenges. I hope you will regain your balance and keep moving forward.
I lived like this for 3 months before I started grad school. It’s amazingly peaceful. I’m looking forward to going back to this life when I graduate in 8 months. If you want to live like this start getting yourself out of debt and get your expenses as low as possible. I can live like this working just 2-3 days per week.
Your not crazy your free❤ Not everyone can see that so they call you crazy for giving up physical things for mental growth. You keep being the true you. and thank you for taking the steps that most of us are too scared to do. ❤😊
Bro I was at your exact spot in 2012. I’ve been so upset because of where I was at In life. Had a mental breakdown. Then I started volunteering as a translator at hospices. I witness people that would give everything to switch spots with me. I was humbled and grateful for the situation. After 3 months, I was recharged and now I consider myself a soldier, at war with life for my family.
I love your perspective in life! I was the YES woman at my job. I ended up with stage four thyroid cancer twelve years ago. It is not too late. You still have a long life ahead of you. WELL DONE!
Wow, you are a true survivor! Feel like my struggles are nothing compared to what you went through. It's hard to NO feeling like we let people down. I am learning that we just have to say YES to ourselves first before we try to make others happy❤️
@HealthCores YES! We need to learn to love ourselves before others. I learned to let go of relatives who made me feel less than what I deserve. The more you give, the more they want. I am peacefully staying somewhere away from everyone. Their loss, my gain, and on top of that.. NO STRESS.
Social media is very suffocating it destroy peace of mind. Since I deactivate my social media. I create small circle of friends but genuine. My perspective change the world getting bigger and brighter. I am more comfortable of my true identity. The more I care less about what other people say or think about me the more I am happy of who I am actually.
i think no matter what the quote of, whatever floats your boat, aka whatever makes you happy, is the only thing that youll think about before death. things that brought you peace and joy
My friend. I just finished watching the entire video. I believe this is your 3rd video that I am watching, and I believe that you could summarize your situation in 3 words - You overdid it. I am a mechanical engineer and about to turn 50. Two years ago the company that I worked for got more and more demanding. I had to work weekends and holidays, so I left them after 14 years. Right after I found a new engineering job that I really enjoy. My weekends and time-off are 100% mine. I gave up $40K a year since my previous position was higher level, but I've gained freedom and peace of mind, while still maintaining my financial needs. I truly believe that you simply need to find a new job that would allow you to enjoy your free time when you need it.
I love your story and happy you found something that gave you back time to live your life. I definitely over did it and still trying to undo the damage I put on myself. I thought about finding something less demanding but for now I will cruise and see where things will go.
Nothing is guaranteed except that we are to live a difficult life. I'm retired and struggled and suffered all my life. I planned out my lifestyle years before I retired, to only struggling again. Moving out of the city and out to the country was on my list. Unfortunately my wife and I have some health issues and finding doctors out there is difficult. I did purchase vacant lots to build our dream home. Very difficult to sell these lots as most people want to purchase already bulit homes. Too much waiting time along with costs. Times and attitudes have changed big time.
If you provide the conditions of health, you will cause health, except for permanent damage, because the body is self healing. I am organic raw vegan, and my health problem that I am fighting is in my teeth. It is changes in diet and lifestyle that people need.
Thanks for your videos. I was recommended your one that blew up but I think I've watched them all now. Honestly, when you talk about living a life without a long to do list, things to remember and the constant work stresses seems like something that I personally will never experience until I retire or worse. I've had my business for many years now, and every year around this time I get burnt out and it lasts for 2 or 3 painful months. I've built up a good number of clients, some successful personal projects and great income. But I know I'm just kidding myself if I think I can continue for much longer without a break or changing my life. My young daughter is growing up quickly too and the moments with her are precious but I know I'm missing out. And I can't tell you the last time I went for a bike ride, or a hike. All things I loved to do. Also like you I can never say no to a new project, client or job, even though I don't really want it or need it. I'm not even trying to keep up with anyone anymore, so all I can say is that I've been conditioned, or conditioned myself to simply work without joy.
Thanks for binging my stories. I know what it takes to run a business. Been there before. These little babies they grow up so fast it's hard to keep up. I hope you can make some time this holidays to take it easy a bit and spend time with your daughter and go on a hike if you could Gotta take care of yourself too bro. Happy Holidays!
Keep being you and wish you nothing but the best brother and success for you. You have set that campfire and telling stories while were all listening. ❤
Thanks brother for joining me at the camp fire. It's a great feeling knowing that we are not the only ones out there feeling this way. Stay warm and I look forward to us talking some more. Happy New Year!
Materialism is the biggest lie. "Keeping up with the Joneses" as they say. It will never bring you happiness. Once you get one new thing, there will be a next new thing, and the cycle never ends. It's a short-lived gratification, much like most things in the world. I realized this in my mid 20's and I haven't looked back, 33 years old now. I haven't participated in society for years, and it's made me a stranger to most people. Sometimes it sucks, and can be very isolating, but once you know you know... There is no going back. At least you have a supporting wife! Glad you're finding peace, man. Good luck with fishing, from one fisherman to another! :)
I'm 23, I'm glad I found you because you are a wise man. I listens to you carefully, you have a lot of experience. Thanks for sharing your life and thoughts
Thanks bud. Not sure I am wise. I know I made tons of dumb mistakes so hopefully you can learn from mine and not dealing with the pain it will cause. Take care my friend.
Thank you for having the courage to post on these topics and taking us along on your journey. I posted before about retiring early and tackling a 300 M ultra next year. Winning in society today is not worth sacrificing what is most important for each of us.
That Ultra sounds scary but fun at the same time. My goal one day. It's super cool to see people like yourself going out there and actively living life to the best. Cheers and good luck with your Ultra.
Beautiful video. Besides, when We Know Who We Are in Essence as we look inwards (Going within), we will exude Love & Peace inside-out; our natural state of being. Much love.
For me it has been very rejuvenating to be around nature and not having to be in the big city. It has a huge position impact on my physical and mental state. Enjoy yours as well. Cheers!
@ I fell the exact same way, though I do live in a big city, in Toronto. I drive out to nature areas frequently. If I don’t my mental health seriously suffers. I also do wildlife photography, something maybe you might like especially having eagles so close. 🦅😊
The more I watch this guy, I realise nothing matters apart from love destiny and your faith in yourself and the belief you put in others and the good you put in other good stuff amen brother. I pray for you GGS. GG.
We both might be crazy but you definitely are living my dream I hope you can make a full time living off this truly I support your decision keep going I hope the best for you
Just breath and relax brother you understand how you feel that’s truly all that matters this world will change and time will never stop however in this moment it’s yours to experience and enjoy , I’m truly inspired .. don’t stop making these videos please 🙏🏼 many blessings to you and your family one love ❤.
Thanks for the encouragement. I can't say how long I will be in this mode but I am enjoying it. This life is better than the hustle that I left behind. Not sure what's next but it's nice to feel good living for once. Wishing you all the blessings and Happy Holidays!
@ thank you brother please stay strong there is so much more to this life to appreciate, happy holidays Im a new subscriber but I’ll be sure to drop likes as long as you keep posting 🙏🏼🙏🏼 you are an amazing soul your worth is endless .
Spiritual warfare, I think that sums it up for the both of us. I think sometimes we just have to face ourselves to grow and to find a better version of ourselves. We will be ok. Much love!
I was in a management position for 10 years and I as miserable. So I put the money in investments and stepped down. Now I’m at peace. Respect to you sir. I definitely know
There is an old wise deity known as Obatala he is the Aisha of peace, wisdom, and the creator next to God in youruba culture. I look up to him a lot because he is in charge with living a life of peace, wisdom challenges, and is known for being everything that has to do with patience and perseverance. In a way I have always wanted to be different than all my friends coworkers people I know from school because I was always the one that even though I was very social. As well as able to talk to others, I was also someone who wanted to be in peace away from all the noise. This video is the best video I have ever seen because it is the first time someone has put themselves in the same position I have been and I always knew I’m not crazy for thinking the same way. I love the fact that I can enjoy an hour in a lake and solitude not thinking that I’m weird for enjoying to be alone, but because I feel at peace from all the noise, both in the corporate world, as well as in my everyday life, thank you so much for this wisdom, my friend and your words And encouragement. I wish that you find what you’re looking for and you find your peace and happiness as well looks like you already did. 🤣🤣 there is a scene in the matrix movie when Morpheus is walking. With Ne-Yo down the street and Morpheus is walking seamlessly across the people or as Ne-Yo keeps tumbling after each one then Morpheus later in that scene tells Neo these sentient beings “are everyone and they are no one” that quote hit me very hard because it’s something I play into our lives. We are both everything in the image of others in our minds but also no one because nobody cares. Find your peace and happiness be true to yourself. I let God put you in the right direction.
21:48 to 23:35 You resonate to my favorite pseudo-chapter 20 of Dao De Jing, thanks again for your sincere sharings, salute you with this translation made by a Vietnamese translator: Give up learning, and you will have no more worry. How great is the difference between "yes" and "no"? What is the distinction between "good" and "evil"? Must I fear what others fear? What abysmal nonsense this is! All men are joyous and beaming, as though feasting upon a sacrificial ox, as though mounting a spring terrace. I alone am placid and get no mark, like a babe that has not yet smiled. I alone am forlorn as one who has no home to return to. All men have more than enough. I alone appear to possess nothing. What a fool I am! What an obscure mind I have! All men are shining. I alone am dull. All men are sharp. I alone am blunt, riffling like the endless ocean, rambling like the ceaseless wind. All men have their things. I alone am stubborn and stupid. But wherein I am most different from others is in knowing to prize my nourishing mother. /From LAO TZU'S TAO TE CHING translation by Tien Cong Tran /
You can be a fisherman or make a fish pond business to change your financial environment. Listening your Life story made me remember the Movie "The Forest Gump". I think you can be a writer also and produce your own books.
Fish pond sounds interesting. I never thought about that. Thanks for the vote of confidence. For now, I love sharing my lazy journey with you. Will see where the journey will take me.
@@HealthCores We r the one thankful for sharing your story with us Sir, bcuz it also help us to advance plan to aviod mistakes in life. And I am same with u waiting paycheck every month less time with family. Though I have already Plan my Life that after 5-10 years i will stop work and make my own business that I can spend more time with my family doing the business and teach my children to be the next Manager after I die in this world. Sound Productive but still I have to be stuck being waiting paycheck cuz Money will be the problem to create a Business. So the only problem Im thinking is do i still have the Will and Strenght after 5-10yrs working saving Money to create a Business? Bcuz Change is Constant so I need something that My "Fire" wont Die in the Process. So what makes me motivate waiting that time? Maybe get more Sleep and balancemy emotion with my family and anything positive but also Dying will be problem cuz we dont know how long we can live in this World we might die sooner but still we have to think positive and avoid dying. Godspeed us Sir. Salute!
Your still young to get burned out. Good to go out and enjoy the outdoors just to wake up and refresh the mind. Eventually, reality will hit back and you will find work you enjoy. GL
Thank you again..for another superbly presented share of your super valuable insights gained from your journey. I can relate at many levels. Your current chosen situation and it's value for you is wonderful. Your messages (from your own experiences) may very well be helping many to realise just how much of a waste of a life being a miserable workaholic trying to impress others really is. Love your decision. Impressed by your ethic. By the way....do you swim? I am a passionate open water swimmer...and I LOVE the waterways to which you retreat to present your channel ! Nature Heals. Time is super valuable. Saying NO to too much is very important. And Quality of Life .... I agree....is by no means only measured by career accomplishment nor by accumulated material possessions. Unto each their own....BUT .... as long as the pace of hamsterwheel is not hurting you, then tread away. What you have chosen for Now...is Beautiful and the Freedom and Relief that you are feeling is absolutely Divine. Look forward to your next share. Super valuable what you are putting out there with this channel. Many Thanks Much Love, Joy and Light
Hey it's great chatting with you again. I am not much of a swimmer but I grew up by a fishing village so I spent lots of time swimming back then. These day I only jump in once in a while when I take my family to the beach. Yeh I definitely got tired of always putting on a face to try to please everyone. It’s nice to drop the act and just do my own. Have fun out in the open water ❤️
@@HealthCores Thank you so much for the swim fun wishes. My very happy space. Water is also very much a healing element. Saying Yes to own program is super NB. I do like impressing myself though....often its achieved by doing as little as I wish. I so get your message. Enjoying your channel. Happy Days bro!
Yeh you are definitely not alone. You at least got me right there with you. I been feeling this way for years and thought it was just me out there. It feels great to know that we are not some lonely soul in this big world. Take care ❤️
I just came across this video. Are you living full time in the nature now, brother? Good for you, brother! That is also what I am aiming for too. Get out into the nature and live there away from other people.
It's a really nice change to be away from the big city where I am to be out here alone. It might not be for everyone but it is very life changing for me. Get out there when you can.
Anyone saying that he/she wants and loves working (the whole job idea) with the idea that each of us should improve himself, provide for himself and the society, they are all lying deep down. Nobody wants to work, the only exceptions are those who do what they love. I guess these people are mostly artists, sportsmen or either journalists. The saying of "self improvement" is such a stupid thing to pretend outside yourself, because if you genuinly don't feel comfortable with yourself then obviously you will seek self-improvement and comfort IN you, but that improvement isn't necessary achieved by being "productive" for the society or anybody else. You get improved only when you find peace with you, your inner gut. Not with what others want by you. Cheers mate !
i was i am single that nothing i need to worries...now have family and kids and need to push my self to work hard and died as a good father....if was single i have nothing to worries and can travel wherever i want ...i was single and play video game and sometimes praying...but everything been god plan so i have to follow and the life is short for sure
Life really changes when you have a family and I get it man. It’s a lot more responsibility, but also a lot of purpose. It’s clear you care deeply about being a good father. Just gotta keep holding down the fort until then man.
Dude, you are the real life JAKE PARK, a character from a game called DBD. 😊 I hope many hear your story and I hope we all do what we want and need to do for our hearts and minds.
I asked myself that for a very long time. The answer is within ourselves as we all have different meaning of what happiness is. Just spend time with yourself and your own thought and it will come to you. I hope you find your answer soon. Take care my friend.
holidays, and party's are temporary effort for temporary enjoyment. life is life knowing every day is fact, the earth revolving around the sun. that's it, seasons always change, the only thing you can change is yourself. why entertain something that someones else made up, just because someone says its right dosnt mean its right. just because someone says its wrong dosnt mean its wrong
I am from south east Asia country too I run my own business for over 15 years.I retired last 2 years and life is so boring so now I start part time minimum pay job at sam club.😅 It is fun to watch greedy people drama people angry people I accepted it is what it is and keep peace inside me .But I don’t like too close to everyone ☮️⚖️
Yo at leaaaaast cooks something delicious and enjoy good food while in nature hahaha nawww I am just joking and clowning. It's ok to eat and relax from a tin can. Everyone has their way of enjoying their time. I wish I could just chill out too and take a pause from my military/daddy life too. I love your video and in all honesty it's eye opening thank you for sharing your thoughts and giving me some insight about my own life. I struggle with similar things you are going through rn and I applaud your decision. I might try to relax too.
Man I need some of those good old MREs from my Marine day. The steak and the poundcake was my fav. Keep being a great dad bro. I was dying slowly so this was my path. Which service are you in? Thanks for your service.🙏
Do you have a bunch of money saved up? Just curious how you provide? I live a simple life of going to work coming home hanging with family and playing video games. I am 39 been working for 10 years for Fortune 500 company making enough to provide for my family I am by no means rich. I value my family time as top priority so being home and gaming seems like my best option I grew up hunting and fishing my entire life I even fished for my college team. I do feel very lonely at times but at the same time I appreciate the silence. Most of my friends have dropped off over the years and I feel like a lone wolf
Sounds like you’ve built a life that aligns with what matters most to you and family. It’s tough when friendships fade, but the peace and quiet can bring clarity too. Maybe those hobbies like fishing can help reconnect you with yourself or even spark some new bonds. Lone wolf or not, you’re holding onto what really counts.
My farmer grandfather lived till his 90’s and died naturally in bed. He was healthy and lean, smiling most of the time, praying and spending time with his family. All he ate is home-cooked, no internet, no phones, no artificial sources of dopamine. I’ve seen how a human being is supposed to live.
15:19 Given what I persue, I'm no more content than I was 10 years ago, though society would have me believe I'll reach it if I just keep going until I have some arbitrary number in my bank account.
We are doing OK. Too many changes and still trying to adjust. I am not ready for retirement but I know right now a little laziness is what I need. Thanks for asking. Happy Holidays!
I hope you are in the transition period or else it is a looping period or flashback period. For a Sigma, the keep up, the left out thing, is for the energetic people to achieve for the human community improvement, not individual improvement. Meaning you like it, you do it. You want it, you get it. You know what, these catch up things does not speak to the elderly. This is where human life already is spoken. For a Sigma also, we won't disturb these group of achievers because human species need it. It depends how these achievers' intelligence to come out to improve their mind, and happiness instead being just having a great or many achievement. I hope three months from now, you may start a fresh vibe. At this point of time, it is a flashback vibe as well as asking people to flashback as well. Hahaha. 😁
@HealthCores We need to cry in order to know the world reactions, we need to be sicked, in order we know we are weak and need to do something about it, we need to have bad people in order we know who is good people. We need to know what is light for sure we do need the dark in order to find out the precious of light. The earth need to have a routine to rotate in order for human to mix and decide their own routine for future. It is not always about human interaction with human, it is also about human interaction with animal, nature, and environment that create those positive and negative energy. Human do decide their own happiness but with experiences, exposures as well as to think outside the box. If u want me to lead or show you, just drop a message here. I learn mostly from internet, which is the world for own growth and perspective.😁♥️
@@HealthCores What do you do for income then? My comment wasn't in jest btw, I'm looking to live simply as well but don't see how it's possible with a pretty decent portfolio for passive income.
You know there's a latin phrase "Ne quid nimis" it means "nothing in excess" ... you burned out on hustle culture and now you're going totally in the other other direction. Excess one way, excess the other way. Ne quid nimis.
hey men, i already watched several of your videos. I can relate it myself. Btw, what do you do now? i mean ,you still need to feed your family,right. i know maybe you have some savings and investments dividends etc. i mean, you do something right? earning money, share with us.
Man everyone been asking me that so I might make a video to share. I am just an regular guy so no crazy investment. I had to simplify my lifestyle and become a lot more minimalist and conscious about my spending. It's amazing how much more we can do with less. I am still waiting for whatever that is next to come by and try not to stress out until then.
This is original human design. To live a simple life in harmony with nature.
Too bad it's hard to live closer to the land and nature in the big city. All we can do is try to get closer to nature when we have a chance.
I agreed, just i hate the reality now a we need money for living
"It doesn't matter how expensive your watch is, it cant buy back time" that's a qoute that hit me recently, you have to take time to see what's really important in life, your family, friends and your own peace
100% agree. Sometimes, we get stuck focusing on things that don't even matter to us.
So true
One thing it shows when using expensive watch or expensive car it is a status symbol ! And that my friend you earn respect
After my divorce in early november i relized just how important peace of mind is. Its much more important than "happiness" i design my life now to be incredibly simple and peaceful and ironicly im the most happy
Sorry about your marriage. But yes peace is the best medicine when we going through life challenges. I hope you will regain your balance and keep moving forward.
We live in a world that tells you that simply existing is not enough.
That's why I had to slow down and just listen to my own thoughts. It's hard but it's even harder trying to live someone else’s life.
Human doers ONLY, not allowed to be human beings, psychopathy also rules our species! Just look at politics!
As I get older I prefer to have this kind of life. It's quite far from the noise and stress free environment. Take care bro.
I know right. I moved to the big city for the city life and now spending my time out in the wilderness :)
I lived like this for 3 months before I started grad school. It’s amazingly peaceful. I’m looking forward to going back to this life when I graduate in 8 months.
If you want to live like this start getting yourself out of debt and get your expenses as low as possible. I can live like this working just 2-3 days per week.
I do my Daily practice to have a simple life Till now and then. I See the value on it living with simple life is so peaceful . My best wishes to you .
I learned that the less we could live on the less we have to worry about. Keeping it simple 🙏
Bro, THATS HOW HUMANS ARE SUPPOSED TO LIVE!
Yep and sometimes we forget when we live in the big city for so long.
Big cities are soul sucking!
Exactly got it🎉
@@Lerockramblerbirderbig cities suck so bad the traffic is terrible I hate it here in the DC area.
Your not crazy your free❤
Not everyone can see that so they call you crazy for giving up physical things for mental growth. You keep being the true you.
and thank you for taking the steps that most of us are too scared to do.
❤😊
Honestly I am still scared of the uncertainty but it is a nice break being out here than where I was before.
This is what I really like! We need to slow down and rethink our so called civilisation. Try to find those old forgotten values of our existence.
It's the fast-paced culture where we live that makes us feel like we need to be on the run all the time.
I feel the same
Bro I was at your exact spot in 2012. I’ve been so upset because of where I was at In life. Had a mental breakdown. Then I started volunteering as a translator at hospices. I witness people that would give everything to switch spots with me. I was humbled and grateful for the situation. After 3 months, I was recharged and now I consider myself a soldier, at war with life for my family.
I love your perspective in life! I was the YES woman at my job. I ended up with stage four thyroid cancer twelve years ago. It is not too late. You still have a long life ahead of you. WELL DONE!

@HealthCores YES! We need to learn to love ourselves before others. I learned to let go of relatives who made me feel less than what I deserve. The more you give, the more they want. I am peacefully staying somewhere away from everyone. Their loss, my gain, and on top of that.. NO STRESS.
Just to hear the sounds of nature is bliss no? Thank you for posting your journey man!!!
Yes the sound of mother nature alone helps calm our minds. Thanks for visiting.

Materialism is the biggest lie. "Keeping up with the Joneses" as they say. It will never bring you happiness. Once you get one new thing, there will be a next new thing, and the cycle never ends. It's a short-lived gratification, much like most things in the world. I realized this in my mid 20's and I haven't looked back, 33 years old now. I haven't participated in society for years, and it's made me a stranger to most people. Sometimes it sucks, and can be very isolating, but once you know you know... There is no going back. At least you have a supporting wife!
Glad you're finding peace, man. Good luck with fishing, from one fisherman to another! :)
Congrats bro

I'm 23, I'm glad I found you because you are a wise man. I listens to you carefully, you have a lot of experience.
Thanks for sharing your life and thoughts
Thanks bud. Not sure I am wise. I know I made tons of dumb mistakes so hopefully you can learn from mine and not dealing with the pain it will cause. Take care my friend.
Thank you for having the courage to post on these topics and taking us along on your journey.
I posted before about retiring early and tackling a 300 M ultra next year.
Winning in society today is not worth sacrificing what is most important for each of us.
That Ultra sounds scary but fun at the same time. My goal one day. It's super cool to see people like yourself going out there and actively living life to the best. Cheers and good luck with your Ultra.
Awesome content bro. Truly inspiring and uplifting the soul. Wish you all the best, continuous physical and mental health on your path.
Thank you for coming along with me on my journey. Hasn't been easy but definitely better than being stuck where I was.
Beautiful video. Besides, when We Know Who We Are in Essence as we look inwards (Going within), we will exude Love & Peace inside-out; our natural state of being.
Much love.
We live in an externally driven world and not often we look inward. But that's when the magic start happening when we take a good look at ourselves ❤️
Love nature bradda! We are blessed with beautiful nature in the Pacific NW of 🇺🇸 👊🏾
Beautiful ❤ thank you for inspiring us all
Thank you for listening.
All vanity!
God Bless you
😊
Not "crazy" at all enjoying some food out in nature. Just make sure that the canned food doesn't have 300% sodium
Yeh those preservatives is not good so I usually try to cook my own food when I am out here. I do enjoy being crazy if this is how it's gonna be :)
City life or anywhere is same if you learn how to adapt, you can be happy anywhere if you know how to live intelligently
From angler to angler!!
I enjoy life the same way you do
Keep doing
Defining our own success, not the social pressure or what we were forced for others financial gains
This is the type of life I live and I love it! Try to get out to the parks most days and explore.
For me it has been very rejuvenating to be around nature and not having to be in the big city. It has a huge position impact on my physical and mental state. Enjoy yours as well. Cheers!
@ I fell the exact same way, though I do live in a big city, in Toronto. I drive out to nature areas frequently. If I don’t my mental health seriously suffers. I also do wildlife photography, something maybe you might like especially having eagles so close. 🦅😊
The more I watch this guy, I realise nothing matters apart from love destiny and your faith in yourself and the belief you put in others and the good you put in other good stuff amen brother. I pray for you GGS. GG.
I appreciate that❤️
You still hustle. But this time you're hustling differently and better
We both might be crazy but you definitely are living my dream I hope you can make a full time living off this truly I support your decision keep going I hope the best for you
Just breath and relax brother you understand how you feel that’s truly all that matters this world will change and time will never stop however in this moment it’s yours to experience and enjoy , I’m truly inspired .. don’t stop making these videos please 🙏🏼 many blessings to you and your family one love ❤.
Thanks for the encouragement. I can't say how long I will be in this mode but I am enjoying it. This life is better than the hustle that I left behind. Not sure what's next but it's nice to feel good living for once. Wishing you all the blessings and Happy Holidays!
@ thank you brother please stay strong there is so much more to this life to appreciate, happy holidays Im a new subscriber but I’ll be sure to drop likes as long as you keep posting 🙏🏼🙏🏼 you are an amazing soul your worth is endless .
Thanks for sharing. I wish you all the best, mate.
Very inspirational ty. I can relate to this for sure. Going through some heavy spiritual warfare and trying to find my balance and happiness as well.
Spiritual warfare, I think that sums it up for the both of us. I think sometimes we just have to face ourselves to grow and to find a better version of ourselves. We will be ok. Much love!
Seriously live simple, stay simple, be happy! Life is simple, why complicate it? ❤
We make life way too complicated sometimes. Cheers!
I was in a management position for 10 years and I as miserable. So I put the money in investments and stepped down. Now I’m at peace. Respect to you sir. I definitely know
My hat down to you sir. It's hard to step down when you're on the up but something has to give. The health or the money. Never an easy choice 🙏
There is an old wise deity known as Obatala he is the Aisha of peace, wisdom, and the creator next to God in youruba culture. I look up to him a lot because he is in charge with living a life of peace, wisdom challenges, and is known for being everything that has to do with patience and perseverance. In a way I have always wanted to be different than all my friends coworkers people I know from school because I was always the one that even though I was very social. As well as able to talk to others, I was also someone who wanted to be in peace away from all the noise. This video is the best video I have ever seen because it is the first time someone has put themselves in the same position I have been and I always knew I’m not crazy for thinking the same way. I love the fact that I can enjoy an hour in a lake and solitude not thinking that I’m weird for enjoying to be alone, but because I feel at peace from all the noise, both in the corporate world, as well as in my everyday life, thank you so much for this wisdom, my friend and your words And encouragement. I wish that you find what you’re looking for and you find your peace and happiness as well looks like you already did. 🤣🤣 there is a scene in the matrix movie when Morpheus is walking. With Ne-Yo down the street and Morpheus is walking seamlessly across the people or as Ne-Yo keeps tumbling after each one then Morpheus later in that scene tells Neo these sentient beings “are everyone and they are no one” that quote hit me very hard because it’s something I play into our lives. We are both everything in the image of others in our minds but also no one because nobody cares. Find your peace and happiness be true to yourself. I let God put you in the right direction.
I am about to do the same and so refreshing to see your videos brother!! Thank you for the inspiration!!!
Get out there bro. You will feel the difference without the noise and only your own thoughts. Let me know how it goes.
@@HealthCores I will thank you
I love you bro❤ beautiful what you're doing for your life
When we don’t have children, we’re chasing . When we have children we have to slow down.
21:48 to 23:35
You resonate to my favorite pseudo-chapter 20 of Dao De Jing, thanks again for your sincere sharings, salute you with this translation made by a Vietnamese translator:
Give up learning, and you will have no more worry.
How great is the difference between "yes" and "no"?
What is the distinction between "good" and "evil"?
Must I fear what others fear?
What abysmal nonsense this is!
All men are joyous and beaming, as though feasting upon a sacrificial ox, as though mounting a spring terrace.
I alone am placid and get no mark, like a babe that has not yet smiled.
I alone am forlorn as one who has no home to return to.
All men have more than enough.
I alone appear to possess nothing.
What a fool I am!
What an obscure mind I have!
All men are shining.
I alone am dull.
All men are sharp.
I alone am blunt, riffling like the endless ocean, rambling like the ceaseless wind.
All men have their things.
I alone am stubborn and stupid.
But wherein I am most different from others is in knowing to prize my nourishing mother.
/From LAO TZU'S TAO TE CHING translation by Tien Cong Tran /
You can be a fisherman or make a fish pond business to change your financial environment.
Listening your Life story made me remember the Movie "The Forest Gump".
I think you can be a writer also and produce your own books.
Fish pond sounds interesting. I never thought about that. Thanks for the vote of confidence. For now, I love sharing my lazy journey with you. Will see where the journey will take me.
@@HealthCores We r the one thankful for sharing your story with us Sir, bcuz it also help us to advance plan to aviod mistakes in life. And I am same with u waiting paycheck every month less time with family.
Though I have already Plan my Life that after 5-10 years i will stop work and make my own business that I can spend more time with my family doing the business and teach my children to be the next Manager after I die in this world. Sound Productive but still I have to be stuck being waiting paycheck cuz Money will be the problem to create a Business.
So the only problem Im thinking is do i still have the Will and Strenght after 5-10yrs working saving Money to create a Business? Bcuz Change is Constant so I need something that My "Fire" wont Die in the Process. So what makes me motivate waiting that time? Maybe get more Sleep and balancemy emotion with my family and anything positive but also Dying will be problem cuz we dont know how long we can live in this World we might die sooner but still we have to think positive and avoid dying. Godspeed us Sir. Salute!
Your still young to get burned out. Good to go out and enjoy the outdoors just to wake up and refresh the mind. Eventually, reality will hit back and you will find work you enjoy. GL
We all need to work 1 way or another. Just not constantly grinding til we break. I am learning to find thst balance...if it even exist?
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Great life 😊
Beautiful lake bro. Very peaceful and serene
Thanks bro. Peaceful and carefree for once. We never know where life will take us next.
Thank you again..for another superbly presented share of your super valuable insights gained from your journey. I can relate at many levels. Your current chosen situation and it's value for you is wonderful. Your messages (from your own experiences) may very well be helping many to realise just how much of a waste of a life being a miserable workaholic trying to impress others really is.
Love your decision. Impressed by your ethic.
By the way....do you swim? I am a passionate open water swimmer...and I LOVE the waterways to which you retreat to present your channel !
Nature Heals. Time is super valuable. Saying NO to too much is very important. And Quality of Life .... I agree....is by no means only measured by career accomplishment nor by accumulated material possessions.
Unto each their own....BUT .... as long as the pace of hamsterwheel is not hurting you, then tread away.
What you have chosen for Now...is Beautiful and the Freedom and Relief that you are feeling is absolutely Divine.
Look forward to your next share.
Super valuable what you are putting out there with this channel.
Many Thanks
Much Love, Joy and Light
Hey it's great chatting with you again. I am not much of a swimmer but I grew up by a fishing village so I spent lots of time swimming back then. These day I only jump in once in a while when I take my family to the beach. Yeh I definitely got tired of always putting on a face to try to please everyone. It’s nice to drop the act and just do my own. Have fun out in the open water ❤️
@@HealthCores Thank you so much for the swim fun wishes. My very happy space. Water is also very much a healing element. Saying Yes to own program is super NB. I do like impressing myself though....often its achieved by doing as little as I wish. I so get your message. Enjoying your channel. Happy Days bro!
@@HealthCores And what a wonderful way to grow up...in a village in nature. Swimming
No think ,no worry….you Will come back….you will strong ,you will have a goal…enjoy your time…
Thank you for that. I am enjoying every moment when I am out here.
God bless you. Glad you found your peace!
Thank you. Work in progress but it's better than the road I was driving down before.
@@HealthCores Amen brother
Good advice
This is the real meaning of living…..
Simple life is the perfect life!!
Yes why make it complicated:)
Awesome brah 💙
i love eating canned food, not expensive, healthy, easy, fills you up. its underrated
Sometimes it's the best we got out there :)
Hey bro like youre videos. I was thinking that i was alone and i felt lonely with the thoughs i have. Nice that you think also like this, much love ❤❤
Yeh you are definitely not alone. You at least got me right there with you. I been feeling this way for years and thought it was just me out there. It feels great to know that we are not some lonely soul in this big world. Take care ❤️
I just came across this video. Are you living full time in the nature now, brother? Good for you, brother! That is also what I am aiming for too. Get out into the nature and live there away from other people.
It's a really nice change to be away from the big city where I am to be out here alone. It might not be for everyone but it is very life changing for me. Get out there when you can.
Anyone saying that he/she wants and loves working (the whole job idea) with the idea that each of us should improve himself, provide for himself and the society, they are all lying deep down. Nobody wants to work, the only exceptions are those who do what they love. I guess these people are mostly artists, sportsmen or either journalists.
The saying of "self improvement" is such a stupid thing to pretend outside yourself, because if you genuinly don't feel comfortable with yourself then obviously you will seek self-improvement and comfort IN you, but that improvement isn't necessary achieved by being "productive" for the society or anybody else. You get improved only when you find peace with you, your inner gut. Not with what others want by you. Cheers mate !
Did Columbia pfg sponsor the video?
you look very happy.
Thanks. I am getting there slowing and trying to figure out this new path at the same time.
How different is culture between west and asia. Asia should be such a relief...
i was i am single that nothing i need to worries...now have family and kids and need to push my self to work hard and died as a good father....if was single i have nothing to worries and can travel wherever i want ...i was single and play video game and sometimes praying...but everything been god plan so i have to follow and the life is short for sure
Life really changes when you have a family and I get it man. It’s a lot more responsibility, but also a lot of purpose. It’s clear you care deeply about being a good father. Just gotta keep holding down the fort until then man.
No we been getting lost at the end off way to happyness
I still feel lost but for sure this is better than where I was.
Dude, you are the real life JAKE PARK, a character from a game called DBD. 😊
I hope many hear your story and I hope we all do what we want and need to do for our hearts and minds.
I might check out that game myself. Thanks bro. We all need to live a bit and not always just grinding to barely survive.
Have you ever watched Wayne Dyers , Chang your thoughts, change your life. It’s his version of the Tao Te Ching. I fall asleep to it.
I have not but will check it out. Thanks for the tip.
I bet that's the best tasting pot roast in the world right there!!!
I have spent my whole life asking miserable people how to be happy, wonder why I spent so much time being miserable........?
I asked myself that for a very long time. The answer is within ourselves as we all have different meaning of what happiness is. Just spend time with yourself and your own thought and it will come to you. I hope you find your answer soon. Take care my friend.
Your not crazy from the outside looking in it might “seem” that way you just decided life is more then paying bills and going to work until you die.
Hehe I still got bills to pay and I try not to think about them :) But we can't just let that stop us from living a little.
What lake is this?
Me too
holidays, and party's are temporary effort for temporary enjoyment. life is life knowing every day is fact, the earth revolving around the sun. that's it, seasons always change, the only thing you can change is yourself. why entertain something that someones else made up, just because someone says its right dosnt mean its right. just because someone says its wrong dosnt mean its wrong
I am from south east Asia country too I run my own business for over 15 years.I retired last 2 years and life is so boring so now I start part time minimum pay job at sam club.😅 It is fun to watch greedy people drama people angry people I accepted it is what it is and keep peace inside me .But I don’t like too close to everyone ☮️⚖️
Hehe sounds like you have a fun job meeting very interesting people everyday fight for rice and toilet paper :)
Yo at leaaaaast cooks something delicious and enjoy good food while in nature hahaha nawww I am just joking and clowning. It's ok to eat and relax from a tin can. Everyone has their way of enjoying their time. I wish I could just chill out too and take a pause from my military/daddy life too. I love your video and in all honesty it's eye opening thank you for sharing your thoughts and giving me some insight about my own life. I struggle with similar things you are going through rn and I applaud your decision. I might try to relax too.
Man I need some of those good old MREs from my Marine day. The steak and the poundcake was my fav. Keep being a great dad bro. I was dying slowly so this was my path. Which service are you in? Thanks for your service.🙏
Do you have a bunch of money saved up? Just curious how you provide? I live a simple life of going to work coming home hanging with family and playing video games. I am 39 been working for 10 years for Fortune 500 company making enough to provide for my family I am by no means rich. I value my family time as top priority so being home and gaming seems like my best option I grew up hunting and fishing my entire life I even fished for my college team. I do feel very lonely at times but at the same time I appreciate the silence. Most of my friends have dropped off over the years and I feel like a lone wolf
Sounds like you’ve built a life that aligns with what matters most to you and family. It’s tough when friendships fade, but the peace and quiet can bring clarity too. Maybe those hobbies like fishing can help reconnect you with yourself or even spark some new bonds. Lone wolf or not, you’re holding onto what really counts.
@ thanks brother! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
I'm not going to be the richest man in the cemetery either. Thanks for your video.
Yeh true. You can't spend all that $ when you 6feet under.
humans wernt meant for this man made dystopia, its messed up. its good to just live life
My farmer grandfather lived till his 90’s and died naturally in bed. He was healthy and lean, smiling most of the time, praying and spending time with his family. All he ate is home-cooked, no internet, no phones, no artificial sources of dopamine.
I’ve seen how a human being is supposed to live.
🙏
How else can you buy ton can with no money
What do you do now to make a living?
Still trying to figure out next step bro
asian households gotta be to stressful, i can see more people opting out in the future
15:19 Given what I persue, I'm no more content than I was 10 years ago, though society would have me believe I'll reach it if I just keep going until I have some arbitrary number in my bank account.
We all believed in associating our self-worth with the bank account. Luckily for us, we now see beyond that and could finally start living.
@HealthCores Exactly! Glad you're finally content mate, enjoy it.
Nothing like a Rolex
How many of you feel like you’re just existing and not actually living?
I know that feeling way too well.
me, living needs money, i dont have any
How is your family doing now? Are you ready for retirement?
We are doing OK. Too many changes and still trying to adjust. I am not ready for retirement but I know right now a little laziness is what I need. Thanks for asking. Happy Holidays!
Are you Vietnamese mister ?
Yep! 100%
You sound like an engineer, having a logical mind. I am a computer programmer.
Your not crazy
I hope you are in the transition period or else it is a looping period or flashback period.
For a Sigma, the keep up, the left out thing, is for the energetic people to achieve for the human community improvement, not individual improvement. Meaning you like it, you do it. You want it, you get it. You know what, these catch up things does not speak to the elderly. This is where human life already is spoken.
For a Sigma also, we won't disturb these group of achievers because human species need it. It depends how these achievers' intelligence to come out to improve their mind, and happiness instead being just having a great or many achievement.
I hope three months from now, you may start a fresh vibe. At this point of time, it is a flashback vibe as well as asking people to flashback as well. Hahaha. 😁
Yeh I got sick of aways trying to be that over achiever. Right now I am going to let the future do its thing and will see.
@HealthCores We need to cry in order to know the world reactions, we need to be sicked, in order we know we are weak and need to do something about it, we need to have bad people in order we know who is good people. We need to know what is light for sure we do need the dark in order to find out the precious of light. The earth need to have a routine to rotate in order for human to mix and decide their own routine for future.
It is not always about human interaction with human, it is also about human interaction with animal, nature, and environment that create those positive and negative energy.
Human do decide their own happiness but with experiences, exposures as well as to think outside the box.
If u want me to lead or show you, just drop a message here. I learn mostly from internet, which is the world for own growth and perspective.😁♥️
You said you were in tech? I'm guessing you have a huge 7 figure investment portfolio to be able to live simply?
LOL I wish
@@HealthCores What do you do for income then? My comment wasn't in jest btw, I'm looking to live simply as well but don't see how it's possible with a pretty decent portfolio for passive income.
You know there's a latin phrase "Ne quid nimis" it means "nothing in excess" ... you burned out on hustle culture and now you're going totally in the other other direction. Excess one way, excess the other way. Ne quid nimis.
Yep I don't disagree with you. I know it will be some time before I slide back to the other side. For now I do enjoy sitting around fishing. Thanks
@@HealthCores Absolutly, good luck with your recovery
hey men, i already watched several of your videos. I can relate it myself. Btw, what do you do now? i mean ,you still need to feed your family,right. i know maybe you have some savings and investments dividends etc. i mean, you do something right? earning money, share with us.
Man everyone been asking me that so I might make a video to share. I am just an regular guy so no crazy investment. I had to simplify my lifestyle and become a lot more minimalist and conscious about my spending. It's amazing how much more we can do with less. I am still waiting for whatever that is next to come by and try not to stress out until then.
Study Islam. This worldly life is nothing but a test.
