I am a 15 year old that has lived on a farm in Mississippi my howl life, and I dress the exact way you do sir and so does my dad. And no matter what they say to me I will not change my mind about the way I dress because it makes me feel happy, and thats what important. Yall be who you wanna be don’t let the sheep keep you on their level.
Hey man dont change how you look, people may call you strange or bad names but remember that its better to be different than to be "normal" but becoming souless and unhappy. Im 15 too and hope everything goes good with you.
I turn 20 this year and I decided that this year I will start finding myself - figure out who the hell I am. I wish you all the best on your journey! Oh and by the way - there could be a girl from the countryside who is looking for a man like you. So your style could very well be an advantage ;)
In my experience, the more eccentric you dress, the better you look. I've recently started wearing great coats and button-down shirts, and using pocket watches and wearing trilby hats. I've received more compliments in the last two weeks than I have my entire life.
As a 23 year old woman I'm just now starting to fully accept myself - I don't care for clubbing, drinking or dressing in revealing clothes like so many around me seem to do. It's truly freeing! Thank you for your videos! :)
@@RagnarLothbrok2222 I think only she knows what could make her happy. Your advice is no different from the influence of the media, it's just on the other side of the spectrum.
@@RagnarLothbrok2222 only have kids if you truly desire them and know you can give them your everything. "just have kids" is bad advice. some people are better being aunts and uncles to other children, caretakers, etc. it's ok to not have kids. just be a good person.
I wish you a great life ahead. I hope you find your confidence sir. Confidence is a thing which comes and goes. It’s matter of time, have faith in god and yourself. Good Luck 😇🙏
Bro you’re 2-0 against a deadly disease, that’s seriously badass. I get being down on yourself and feeling less confident, but you’re damn near bullet proof. 🫡much respect
Dont trip about being unconfident. Alot of us are but you are courage itself as long as you manifest it in your own mind. God bless you and I'm sure the road ahead for you will be good. Just remember your courage itself that's what helps me. ❤ *Grammer edit

I didn't know I needed you, but God knew and said differently and thus, here we are. I hope you and Ma have a very beautiful holiday season and may you be and stay blessed for the rest of your days. Thank you always for all your wisdom kind sir!
I’m a leader and I like to build and create, help inspire people. It’s good to be comfortable with yourself and not stress about what others think it never bothers me. That’s how I live my life keep that positive energy and my circles small. Only the real ones with me. 💯
@@hijackedmemes6988 Same here. I am a Chef , a teacher and a fearless leader. I have travelled around the world and seen so many cultures. Social media is a huge problem. In reality, however, it is far much better to build a small inner circle. This is because quantity does not always translate to quality. By opting for a larger circle, you are less likely to have strong bonds with these people, which in turn means that these people are going to have a smaller impact on your life.🌞 💯 Dwayne, Thank you for sharing these positive thoughts.
Feels like I'm a little girl sitting face to face with a warm and friendly uncle sharing experiences and wisdom about life. True. With social media everywhere and pressure from society and people, I feel drowned and exhausted trying to follow. Thank you for making this to give assurance that it is okay to be different to be YOU.
I'm a European and I like listening to your videos a lot. Something about cowboy self-help philosophy... I can't explain it, it is strangely soothing, even for someone who hasn't been for one second in the US. I have been trying to work on myself for almost 3 years now, and I plan to improve significantly in 2023. I'm planning to quit porn forever, improve my physical shape and learn and read and meet new people. I'm quite lonely, but your videos have helped me feeling better about it. Thanks a lot.
Stay strong internet person, it’s a journey. Well wishes, mate. I hope this is the start of the best chapters of your life Cheers from a youtube commenter
I'm 26 and for the first time in my life, I am happy with doing things that actually make me happy. I love the quirky, nerdy things that I love to do and finally have met ppl who will accept that when growing up, I was a people pleaser and was miserable. Nothing like being yourself and loving yourself truthfully
I am 35 year old woman and I love your videos. You have so much wisdom in you. Sometimes I watch your talks and think that my uncle would love that. Sadly, he died two years ago from cancer, but I wanna tell him right now: dear uncle, great men is still out there and you would really enjoy what this man have to say. Bless you and your family!

being unauthentic also leads to relationships destined to fail, can't fake it forever and you become a different person all of a sudden and mad respect to you for reading about christmas and deciding that's something you don't embrace, changing your mind in light of new information takes bravery many don't have
@@HappyPawsUKit’s strange because I know I’m sort of doing it too? I’m not really on social media, so I’m not doing it to the full extent, not so much playing a character as restricting my own out of insecurity or fear people won’t like me. Sad but this video kind of made me conscious of it, maybe I can work on bringing me out of me.
I doubt 99% of people in relationships these days are authentic ,most of you people are playing character merely clones of your idols wether it’s looks or character.being authentic will lead to relationship break downs.your comment is proof of the mediocre.the fake (or generic ) are loved while the real authentic critical thinkers are hater .in Todays world generic behaviour is favoured over true authentic humans
@@HappyPawsUK basically not true unless your "real self" is saying socially unacceptable and hateful things, then yes you will be ostracized, and it's kinda how human society always worked
Being you, the real you, the true you is an effort in this highly influential social media craze world, but worth every effort. Thanks for your wisdom.
Excellent message! I spent many years just trying to figure out who I am, now at age 53 I've figured out that it's best to stop trying to be somebody else and be happy with who God made ME! Now that I know who I am, I can spend the rest of my years being the best ME that I can be!
I'm 53 too. I'm still figuring it out. I've never had the money to follow fashion. And I really don't care. I try to look nice but I tend to stand out.
You are "the Salt of the Earth" --- my deceased partner would have enjoyed your channel. He passed 2 years this month, January 2021, of a massive heart attack. He was a cowboy. We enjoyed riding in the Wyoming Wilderness, where you could be yourself without needing to impress anyone. I appreciate your channel and teachings of integrity and grit.
As a teenager that used to have social anxiety, I was trapped in that mindset of, "I'll just become more confident once I fit into the image that people think I am." and it made me miserable anytime I actually went and talked to people, only once I accepted all the parts of me, both good despite my humility, and ugly, despite my ego, and was able to show those parts to all, I was able to be much more relaxed and confident. Sometimes all it takes is someone like you to tell it how it is for us to break through our false perceptions, thanks for all the advice Dewayne :D
Im turning 50 and hearing what you said in this video has me tearing up cause. I have lost everything i owned in this world and lost all so called friends and now buried in debt. while tryin to keep up with the jones's trying to fit in. Im in process of trying to find myself and my heart is leading towards the country life after whole life if being a city slicker. Thank you for your words of wisdom 🙏🏼
as a 19 year old male trying to figure out my place in this world, your advice is some of the best that I use to remind myself of who I am. Thank you for constantly sharing generational knowledge. One love my friend. God bless.
@@RickyBobby42069Currently working out and doing kickboxing. I’m not in the best mental state but, both of those things for sure help especially having balanced meals on a day to day basis.
@@poptort2082 me too man, going on year 2 of kickboxing. I had hypochondria for while, but it went away after doing cardio (just regular running for distance) I don't know how that worked, but it did. I also got super lean, like 80 kilos of muscle with abs. So I think that really boosted my ego and confidence. Weed helps too dude 🤣. Good luck my friend
It took me years of discomfort and failure to realize how to develop as my own person. Especially when it comes to my art or the way I work, even down to how I like to cut and cook my bacon. Got rid of the booze and drugs, quit all social media, and saw a massive improvement over the last couple of months. Life is what you make it, so make it yours!
I am a Muslim, we have lot of people like you ( Speaking softly, experienced Old fellas who share their Advices with Young people ) But we Have only ONE you mister Noël, I really love listening to your videos while i'm driving, i really enjoy it and it gives me positive energy God bless you , God bless y'all ❤
Buddy, I know you may never see this but thanks for all the videos. Im 29, work on a ranch, and I’m about to marry the love of my life. You have taught me so much about how to be a better man, a better ranch hand, and a better partner for my significant other.. my best friend. Wish I could sit down in person with ya and ask you questions. Maybe one day! But in the mean time thanks so much! Keep making videos. Many folks like myself find answers through you.
Congrats man! Marriage is the best thing in the world. Especially when you have kids, you will feel things you never knew were possible as part of this human experience.
Thank you for this video. I figured out in my 20s that I didn't want to be like the rest of society, mainly after I lost my grandfather who was a huge influence on me. He was what you'd call "old school" in every way. Didn't have a cellphone, didn't even wear a watch after he retired. He loved his fine clothes, his felt hats, and his old cars. When he was gone I started finding myself wanting to carry the traditions on, but I knew I wasn't my grandfather so I altered what was comfortable to me and ended up with my distinct look and my on view points on things. This finds me at odds with today's world because I still believe in common sense and doing what's right no matter what. I like my vests, my baseball caps, and my boots. I like classic stuff, with a few modern things thrown in to make life a little easier. Really though, the more I go back to the basics of what my Grandfather taught me, the easier life is. Believe in God, take care of your family, do what's right and forget about what everyone else thinks or has to say. Like you said, be yourself. Take care and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I don't mean to sound antagonizing, but I don't understand how someone can find themselves and become unique but see others around them as "the rest of society" or as "sheep" as Dwayne said. I believe we all have different ways of finding our uniqueness, and maybe sometimes the uniqueness we try to find for ourselves isn't apparent or obvious to others around us. What we show to those around us (clothes, accessories, cars, tattoos, whatever) may only be a small part of a person's uniqueness for themselves, but there's so much more that we can't see or understand just by looking at or talking briefly to a person.
Enlisting in the Military really changed my perspective on civilian life. I grew more confident in myself, it gave me the foundation to develop a personality i am satisfied with. I just don't give a shit about popular things, it is all irrelevant. People are busting themselves up over things that don't matter. I am just happy with what i am doing and that i can finally show my parents that i can support myself and even give back to thank them for feeding this piece of meat through many troublesome years. People care too much about other people and too little about themselves. Don't be an egoist, but do what makes you happy.
Man, I wish we were related. I say this because I feel like my immediate family cares so much about what society and outsiders think about them and then project that onto me. They tell me what I should do; how I should behave; how much money I should make; how I should look so I appear successful, or so others perceive me to be a certain way. On the outside, my family appears perfect, always smiling, always "happy", always fitting in, but my family is far from these things behind closed doors. I refuse to be anything other than my most genuine self. So, anyway, I appreciate this video.
That’s a hard type of family to grow up in and it’s toxic. Not sure how old u r but the older u r the more you’ll see how full of shit they are and no one really knows what they’re doing. Also it’s not their place to try to steer your ship
Its a rat race to nowhere having people putting their expectations on you. I never measure up and everything has conditions on it. My only place of being just me right now is with Jesus.
Ah my parents are the same. It hurts to see when your parents are thinking more about others than you. That’s the problem nowadays….many parents are not doing the job they should do properly and that’s parenting. I am not saying every parent is like that…..but many are and it sucks pretty bad. Well as they say ‘Every thing has a reason’ soo I take this as an opportunity to improve as an individual person….to not become what my parents are. To become better than them.
Couldn't have come at a better time when I realized I was letting other people's perspectives define me all along. This helped drive it home. Thanks a bunch Dewayne.
Being yourself is your only superpower in today's world where everybody is trying to be the same! Thank you for your wisdom! Happy New Year everybody! 💞✨
Being different and unique is super boring, nothing wrong with being the same, it's not a crime, fitting in and relating to people is so much better then standing out
I am Muslim women, I am mom and that’s my career. I like slow living but I’m not there yet. I really enjoyed this video it helps to get remainders specially raising little ones to teach them to be them now rather than getting influenced by their peers or media world. May God protect our world 🌎
Santa Clause is 75% of the reason to be a Christian. Love grace mercy and compassion are the other 25%, because even nonchristians value that if they’re smart
I love this subject! It's one I carry with me all day every day because I love myself, am proud of myself and am my own bestfriend. The single most thing I'm most proud of is that I've never been drunk, high or ingested any kind of substance (pills, smoke, vape, psychedelic) in my 29 years of being alive and I don't plan on ever starting. Have I had alcohol before? yes, but never drunk. The Idea of me being out of mind and not knowing how I got home scares me to death. All my friends and family respect me for it as well. One of my best friends will always text me randomly saying "Out of the people I know your the only one that has been sober their whole life." and it's a wonderful feeling.
Propper message, from a propper man. Hard truths from a man who lives it. Thank you for being you, keep fighting the good fight, wish you all the best, may you help many more. Thank you!
These natural one-take videos where you have an open train of thought, like a genuine conversation, is precisely why your videos are so calming and refreshing. You are pioneers in going against the stream of all that overly edited extravagant video content. You stand out just by not even trying, well played.
I am a 51 year old woman and recently introduced to your channel. I love the wisdom and honesty that you share with the world. Thanks for being you and reminding me to be myself!
I don't think anyone would see this, but I cannot thank you enough, your words of wisdom have made me change my mind on giving up on myself. Thank you !
It's not the message itself but how it's executed. We hear these kinds of advice all the time, and we thought as children, but as we grow we hear the same kind of advice and we learn more. And people tell you that lesson in all kinds of ways, all different paths of life. Your execution of advice is so level headed, not just "down to earth" but sage like, like a relative from beyond the grave pushing you forward saying, 'enjoy your freedom, don't worry so much.'
I appreciate this sentiment a lot as a queer dude. Different strokes for different folks, I cant be caught up in what somebody else thinks about it. I've got enough problems just trying to make it through the stuff everybody deals with to worry about what somebody else thinks about how I move through my life. As long as I'm getting better at being comfortable/confident in who I am, that's good enough for me
Dewayne, I’ve found most everyone is unique……Good or Bad. So the way you look is really nothing new, you are no more unique than many others. BUT what is SPECIAL with you is your heart. You speak honestly from within and integrity is definitely a character many people lack. I appreciate your knowledge of horses and hope to learn more from your videos on the subject. I’ve not watched TV since 2015 and have actually been searching for the truth in many subjects since 2019. I don’t belong to Twitter or any other social media except for FB. I use that to stay in touch with many. Thank you for your video.
I don't always rush to watch your videos when they come out. I save them for a "moment" when I can completely focus and watch them. Wife and son in bed, dark and quiet house, mute my cell phone. I always learn something, either from your thoughts or stories directly, or in the reflection of my own thoughts after I watch. I appreciate your thoughtfulness, wisdom, and ability to communicate in a simple but direct way. I am going to have my son start watching them as well, hopefully we can both grow as men, with you providing some of the guideposts along the way. Merry Christmas
I’m a 29 year old woman watching, a mom of four sons, thank you for these videos. Also I’ve been wearing many dresses and skirts and have totally changed my wardrobe to be modest over the past year or so, thank you for reminding us to be ourselves.
This is exactly what my wife and I plan to tell our daughters as they get older. Strong, free thinking, self reliant young women. I love all the content you and Mama put out. Speaks to my soul. Merry belated Christmas, hope it was a wonderful one for you and yours.
As a friend I feel obliged to tell you that the mature Christian is reliant on God first, then self/ego, then others. Is it (the problem or issue) about substantive things like questions of love and truth or morality?? Or is it (the problem or question) more about style or the way something gets done or solved?? I happen to believe that God cares a great deal more about getting the substantive issues right than He does how something gets done or resolved.
I stumbled upon your content here in UA-cam recently and thank God I did! To find people talking honestly about things that matter without that "Mr know it all" way is always good. Thank you for being you, man. May God bless you and the whole family! My best regards all the way from Brazil!
Great video chat! I'll be 60 in April and I can honestly say that I have always been me since my teens, stood out from the crowd in my own unique style, even amongst my peers. On the very rare occasion that I tried to follow the herd, it didn't feel real or me, thus I went back to my longhaired, bearded biker/mountain man ways, and my spirit feels at peace within. Best regards.
I like your vibe man you’re the type I can actually convo with, most folks talk bout the typical bs gossip, back talk and being messy for no reason smh
Ho i love you brother. just that has being my victory at my 76 year, still strong and happy as you are, just the way as i am. 100% with you. Thank you .
40’s club here😊 the day I decided to quit living my life to please others, was the best choice I’ve ever made. It was fun watching ALL of them with their mouths open wondering why I wasn’t kissing their butts anymore 🤣 !!!!!!GREAT video!!!!!
I'm 59 years old, and I have found out that for some of us, it can be a long journey to find out who we really are. I think, for me, I have finally boiled me down to the actual me, but it has taken a lot of trial and error. Just being honest with myself, I guess, was the hardest part. Realizing that I am good enough as I am. Not that I don't need to keep improving, heck, we all do, but it's a good feeling to realize that you have become who you truly are.
this idea is basically my filosofy of life. i bring this with me for a little time, but i'm getting better, i am more happy and see more sense in life. i have 18 years old and i am very proud of me, because a lot of people with my same age don't have this thinking, i feel more mature with this, and i have sure that i am.

I am so glad I found your and Momma's channel and I subscribed because of your common sense down to earth way of life. I'm a female quickly approaching my sixth decade of life. We need more strong men like you to start speaking up.
Love being me as different as it may be. I hope the guy I love with all my heart listens to your perception as well, so he is more comfortable in his own skin. Thanks DeWayne❤❤
I love the fact that you are you, and you own your personality. I myself, am a 22 year old man, a fisherman, gamer, reader and learner of history, who also has very long hair. I wear flat caps, or a cowboy hat and Norse jewellery (not the cheap garbage stuff). I would say I'm my own person, and try to bring out the best in myself and others along the way. Good video as always.
You and Momma are much loved being exactly who you are. Good guidance from two extraordinary people comfortable in their own skin. Wish you all the best as you head into the New Year!

Confidence=Knowing Yourself. Such a practical equation to live by. Thank you for sharing!
When I grew up …Being Different was a sign of Independence! Merry Christmas to everyone who watches this channel !
I’m a leader and I like to build and create, help inspire people. It’s good to be comfortable with yourself and not stress about what others think it never bothers me. That’s how I live my life keep that positive energy and my circles small. Only the real ones with me. 💯
@@hijackedmemes6988 Same here. I am a Chef , a teacher and a fearless leader. I have travelled around the world and seen so many cultures. Social media is a huge problem. In reality, however, it is far much better to build a small inner circle. This is because quantity does not always translate to quality. By opting for a larger circle, you are less likely to have strong bonds with these people, which in turn means that these people are going to have a smaller impact on your life.🌞 💯
Dwayne, Thank you for sharing these positive thoughts.
Feels like I'm a little girl sitting face to face with a warm and friendly uncle sharing experiences and wisdom about life. True. With social media everywhere and pressure from society and people, I feel drowned and exhausted trying to follow. Thank you for making this to give assurance that it is okay to be different to be YOU.
He seems like a calm and reasonable person
But is he a calm and reasonable person?
I'm a European and I like listening to your videos a lot. Something about cowboy self-help philosophy... I can't explain it, it is strangely soothing, even for someone who hasn't been for one second in the US. I have been trying to work on myself for almost 3 years now, and I plan to improve significantly in 2023. I'm planning to quit porn forever, improve my physical shape and learn and read and meet new people. I'm quite lonely, but your videos have helped me feeling better about it. Thanks a lot.
Good luck stranger. Im in the same position as you. You're not alone!
Stay strong internet person, it’s a journey. Well wishes, mate. I hope this is the start of the best chapters of your life
Cheers from a youtube commenter
Good luck friend as they say you're not alone
Wish you all the best buddy, the world is yours
wish you luck man
I'm 26 and for the first time in my life, I am happy with doing things that actually make me happy. I love the quirky, nerdy things that I love to do and finally have met ppl who will accept that when growing up, I was a people pleaser and was miserable. Nothing like being yourself and loving yourself truthfully
What's your ig ? For some reason I'm curious bout you
💯💯
What makes us unique is having the courage to follow the convictions of our heart. Great reminder!
I am 35 year old woman and I love your videos. You have so much wisdom in you. Sometimes I watch your talks and think that my uncle would love that. Sadly, he died two years ago from cancer, but I wanna tell him right now: dear uncle, great men is still out there and you would really enjoy what this man have to say. Bless you and your family! Greetings from Lithuania
I'm sorry for your loss.
@Ernestas Lūža smagu matyti lietuvį :) Aš net pati nesupratau, kaip šiam moderniam efektų ir įspūdžių pasauly buvau pasiilgus žmogaus, kuris tiesiog visiškai paprastai sėdi su cigaru ir kalbasi apie gyvenimą
Užuojauta dėl netekties. Nuostabu, kad matau, jog ir kiti lietuviai žiūri šio kaubojaus video. Raminantys ir įdomūs.
Another wise, calm, thought out, simple, intuitive, no drama, life lesson, keep teaching us, thank you.
Or which is more likely:
Keep giving you the feel of have been tought of something when actually you haven't 😂
This guy is a treasure. Praise to UA-cam for making this available to a wide audience.
The strong sense of honor, integrity, and freedom that I feel by being myself is priceless. It’s something I will never regret having.
being unauthentic also leads to relationships destined to fail, can't fake it forever and you become a different person all of a sudden
and mad respect to you for reading about christmas and deciding that's something you don't embrace, changing your mind in light of new information takes bravery many don't have
In todays world most people are playing characters
@@HappyPawsUKit’s strange because I know I’m sort of doing it too? I’m not really on social media, so I’m not doing it to the full extent, not so much playing a character as restricting my own out of insecurity or fear people won’t like me. Sad but this video kind of made me conscious of it, maybe I can work on bringing me out of me.
I doubt 99% of people in relationships these days are authentic ,most of you people are playing character merely clones of your idols wether it’s looks or character.being authentic will lead to relationship break downs.your comment is proof of the mediocre.the fake (or generic ) are loved while the real authentic critical thinkers are hater .in Todays world generic behaviour is favoured over true authentic humans
@@HappyPawsUK basically not true unless your "real self" is saying socially unacceptable and hateful things, then yes you will be ostracized, and it's kinda how human society always worked
Being you, the real you, the true you is an effort in this highly influential social media craze world, but worth every effort. Thanks for your wisdom.
Excellent message! I spent many years just trying to figure out who I am, now at age 53 I've figured out that it's best to stop trying to be somebody else and be happy with who God made ME! Now that I know who I am, I can spend the rest of my years being the best ME that I can be!
I'm 53 too.
I'm still figuring it out.
I've never had the money to follow fashion. And I really don't care.
I try to look nice but I tend to stand out.
Same horse my friend, I've lacked quality mentors in my life, and I'm 53 as well
How do you determine who is you, is it following your emotions or is it about just dpijg what feels right?
You are "the Salt of the Earth" --- my deceased partner would have enjoyed your channel. He passed 2 years this month, January 2021, of a massive heart attack. He was a cowboy. We enjoyed riding in the Wyoming Wilderness, where you could be yourself without needing to impress anyone. I appreciate your channel and teachings of integrity and grit.
My condolences, I have heart issues myself.
My condolences, I've been one 9 yrs I can relate with you
Alone
May he Rest In Peace and tranquillity ☀️🙏🏿
@@Mrpmg26sending healing energy your way ❤️🙏🏿
Thanks, Cowboy. You hit the nail on the head.
As a teenager that used to have social anxiety, I was trapped in that mindset of, "I'll just become more confident once I fit into the image that people think I am." and it made me miserable anytime I actually went and talked to people, only once I accepted all the parts of me, both good despite my humility, and ugly, despite my ego, and was able to show those parts to all, I was able to be much more relaxed and confident. Sometimes all it takes is someone like you to tell it how it is for us to break through our false perceptions, thanks for all the advice Dewayne :D
Merry Christmas! Gonna be 40 in March, still a young lady. As a women I enjoy your talks. Many men need to here what you speak on.

Im turning 50 and hearing what you said in this video has me tearing up cause. I have lost everything i owned in this world and lost all so called friends and now buried in debt. while tryin to keep up with the jones's trying to fit in. Im in process of trying to find myself and my heart is leading towards the country life after whole life if being a city slicker. Thank you for your words of wisdom 🙏🏼
You don't lost everything...if you got yourself!
Im 50 too!
Blessings to you, hope you find yourself and happiness.😊
I hope you are okay now, Keep your chin up ❤
as a 19 year old male trying to figure out my place in this world, your advice is some of the best that I use to remind myself of who I am. Thank you for constantly sharing generational knowledge. One love my friend. God bless.

Exercise regularly. Weight train or martial arts. It is amazing. I'm glad I started lifting when I was 19. After 8 years I feel like a God.
Just don't follow..
@@RickyBobby42069Currently working out and doing kickboxing. I’m not in the best mental state but, both of those things for sure help especially having balanced meals on a day to day basis.
@@poptort2082 me too man, going on year 2 of kickboxing. I had hypochondria for while, but it went away after doing cardio (just regular running for distance) I don't know how that worked, but it did. I also got super lean, like 80 kilos of muscle with abs. So I think that really boosted my ego and confidence.
Weed helps too dude 🤣. Good luck my friend
It took me years of discomfort and failure to realize how to develop as my own person. Especially when it comes to my art or the way I work, even down to how I like to cut and cook my bacon. Got rid of the booze and drugs, quit all social media, and saw a massive improvement over the last couple of months. Life is what you make it, so make it yours!
I am a Muslim, we have lot of people like you ( Speaking softly, experienced Old fellas who share their Advices with Young people )
But we Have only ONE you mister Noël, I really love listening to your videos while i'm driving, i really enjoy it and it gives me positive energy
God bless you , God bless y'all ❤
Buddy, I know you may never see this but thanks for all the videos. Im 29, work on a ranch, and I’m about to marry the love of my life. You have taught me so much about how to be a better man, a better ranch hand, and a better partner for my significant other.. my best friend. Wish I could sit down in person with ya and ask you questions. Maybe one day! But in the mean time thanks so much! Keep making videos. Many folks like myself find answers through you.
Congrats man! Marriage is the best thing in the world. Especially when you have kids, you will feel things you never knew were possible as part of this human experience.
Congratulations
Thank you for this video. I figured out in my 20s that I didn't want to be like the rest of society, mainly after I lost my grandfather who was a huge influence on me. He was what you'd call "old school" in every way. Didn't have a cellphone, didn't even wear a watch after he retired. He loved his fine clothes, his felt hats, and his old cars. When he was gone I started finding myself wanting to carry the traditions on, but I knew I wasn't my grandfather so I altered what was comfortable to me and ended up with my distinct look and my on view points on things. This finds me at odds with today's world because I still believe in common sense and doing what's right no matter what. I like my vests, my baseball caps, and my boots. I like classic stuff, with a few modern things thrown in to make life a little easier. Really though, the more I go back to the basics of what my Grandfather taught me, the easier life is. Believe in God, take care of your family, do what's right and forget about what everyone else thinks or has to say. Like you said, be yourself. Take care and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I don't mean to sound antagonizing, but I don't understand how someone can find themselves and become unique but see others around them as "the rest of society" or as "sheep" as Dwayne said. I believe we all have different ways of finding our uniqueness, and maybe sometimes the uniqueness we try to find for ourselves isn't apparent or obvious to others around us. What we show to those around us (clothes, accessories, cars, tattoos, whatever) may only be a small part of a person's uniqueness for themselves, but there's so much more that we can't see or understand just by looking at or talking briefly to a person.
The Hardest Person to Ever Be is YOURSELF

@@davidbooher5559 A fought not won in a night
Enlisting in the Military really changed my perspective on civilian life. I grew more confident in myself, it gave me the foundation to develop a personality i am satisfied with. I just don't give a shit about popular things, it is all irrelevant. People are busting themselves up over things that don't matter. I am just happy with what i am doing and that i can finally show my parents that i can support myself and even give back to thank them for feeding this piece of meat through many troublesome years. People care too much about other people and too little about themselves. Don't be an egoist, but do what makes you happy.
26 1/2 years of Air Force enlisted, and Army officer, definitely made a difference in my life. Painful? Oh yeah! Was it worth it, looking back? Yes.
Beautifuly said :)
Man, I wish we were related. I say this because I feel like my immediate family cares so much about what society and outsiders think about them and then project that onto me. They tell me what I should do; how I should behave; how much money I should make; how I should look so I appear successful, or so others perceive me to be a certain way. On the outside, my family appears perfect, always smiling, always "happy", always fitting in, but my family is far from these things behind closed doors. I refuse to be anything other than my most genuine self. So, anyway, I appreciate this video.
That’s a hard type of family to grow up in and it’s toxic. Not sure how old u r but the older u r the more you’ll see how full of shit they are and no one really knows what they’re doing. Also it’s not their place to try to steer your ship
oh em gee i feel this. my family is obsessed with looks in all the wrong ways, it makes me so self-conscious
Its a rat race to nowhere having people putting their expectations on you. I never measure up and everything has conditions on it. My only place of being just me right now is with Jesus.
Ah my parents are the same. It hurts to see when your parents are thinking more about others than you. That’s the problem nowadays….many parents are not doing the job they should do properly and that’s parenting. I am not saying every parent is like that…..but many are and it sucks pretty bad.
Well as they say ‘Every thing has a reason’ soo I take this as an opportunity to improve as an individual person….to not become what my parents are. To become better than them.
Thank you mr morgan🙏
Couldn't have come at a better time when I realized I was letting other people's perspectives define me all along. This helped drive it home. Thanks a bunch Dewayne.
Being yourself is your only superpower in today's world where everybody is trying to be the same! Thank you for your wisdom! Happy New Year everybody! 💞✨
Everybody sucks thats why Everybody is Trying to be the same
Being different is unique
So what if everyone is the same, nothing wrong with that
Being different and unique is super boring, nothing wrong with being the same, it's not a crime, fitting in and relating to people is so much better then standing out
@@joshuabuchanan1141 Trying to fit in is pathetic and weak. You lose yourself and you become a sheep. Clearly you are.
Nothing in this ol world resonates cleaner, clearer and louder than authenticity. Happy new year
I am Muslim women, I am mom and that’s my career. I like slow living but I’m not there yet. I really enjoyed this video it helps to get remainders specially raising little ones to teach them to be them now rather than getting influenced by their peers or media world. May God protect our world 🌎

No matter what anyone tells you or think's about you, you're the most important person in your life!
Nope
I love this subject! It's one I carry with me all day every day because I love myself, am proud of myself and am my own bestfriend.
The single most thing I'm most proud of is that I've never been drunk, high or ingested any kind of substance (pills, smoke, vape, psychedelic) in my 29 years of being alive and I don't plan on ever starting. Have I had alcohol before? yes, but never drunk. The Idea of me being out of mind and not knowing how I got home scares me to death. All my friends and family respect me for it as well. One of my best friends will always text me randomly saying "Out of the people I know your the only one that has been sober their whole life." and it's a wonderful feeling.
10:46 Amen. I get a sense of peace from your style of videos that I have not felt in a long time. Thank you for being you.
So true. You are making great change and doing great help in the world.
Very sweet video. Thank you Arthur Morgan
Propper message, from a propper man. Hard truths from a man who lives it. Thank you for being you, keep fighting the good fight, wish you all the best, may you help many more. Thank you!

You stand out and practice what you preach, Dewayne. This makes you unique and trustworthy over time. Keep on keeping on - we love it!
These natural one-take videos where you have an open train of thought, like a genuine conversation, is precisely why your videos are so calming and refreshing.
You are pioneers in going against the stream of all that overly edited extravagant video content. You stand out just by not even trying, well played.
I’m so grateful for you and your videos
You’re a wise, kind and strong man Uncle!
I am a 51 year old woman and recently introduced to your channel. I love the wisdom and honesty that you share with the world. Thanks for being you and reminding me to be myself!
This particular type of content is so simplistic, and yet so very valuable to us all, thank you sir!
Thank you from South Africa
I don't think anyone would see this, but I cannot thank you enough, your words of wisdom have made me change my mind on giving up on myself. Thank you !
Hey I saw this good job!
I find a great deal of warmth and comfort listening to you. Especially during these times. Thank you sir
I second that thought.
Thank you for this lesson
It's not the message itself but how it's executed. We hear these kinds of advice all the time, and we thought as children, but as we grow we hear the same kind of advice and we learn more. And people tell you that lesson in all kinds of ways, all different paths of life. Your execution of advice is so level headed, not just "down to earth" but sage like, like a relative from beyond the grave pushing you forward saying, 'enjoy your freedom, don't worry so much.'
4:50 Young ladies are watching listening and agreeing with you sir🙋🏻♀️
Fr I'm a new subscriber now ❤
Well your advice is a gift sir.
Thank you kindly.
Thankyou Dwayne.
Respect what you & your

Don’t envy him.. just appreciate him… You probably have just as much to offer as him… 🫡
I appreciate this sentiment a lot as a queer dude. Different strokes for different folks, I cant be caught up in what somebody else thinks about it. I've got enough problems just trying to make it through the stuff everybody deals with to worry about what somebody else thinks about how I move through my life. As long as I'm getting better at being comfortable/confident in who I am, that's good enough for me
Dewayne, I’ve found most everyone is unique……Good or Bad. So the way you look is really nothing new, you are no more unique than many others. BUT what is SPECIAL with you is your heart. You speak honestly from within and integrity is definitely a character many people lack. I appreciate your knowledge of horses and hope to learn more from your videos on the subject. I’ve not watched TV since 2015 and have actually been searching for the truth in many subjects since 2019. I don’t belong to Twitter or any other social media except for FB. I use that to stay in touch with many. Thank you for your video.
I don't always rush to watch your videos when they come out. I save them for a "moment" when I can completely focus and watch them. Wife and son in bed, dark and quiet house, mute my cell phone. I always learn something, either from your thoughts or stories directly, or in the reflection of my own thoughts after I watch. I appreciate your thoughtfulness, wisdom, and ability to communicate in a simple but direct way. I am going to have my son start watching them as well, hopefully we can both grow as men, with you providing some of the guideposts along the way. Merry Christmas
Words of wisdom, a very humble man.
Also, he looks like old man Arthur Morgan with High Honor.
Kudos for ya!
I’m a 29 year old woman watching, a mom of four sons, thank you for these videos. Also I’ve been wearing many dresses and skirts and have totally changed my wardrobe to be modest over the past year or so, thank you for reminding us to be ourselves.
This is exactly what my wife and I plan to tell our daughters as they get older. Strong, free thinking, self reliant young women. I love all the content you and Mama put out. Speaks to my soul. Merry belated Christmas, hope it was a wonderful one for you and yours.
As a friend I feel obliged to tell you that the mature Christian is reliant on God first, then self/ego, then others.
Is it (the problem or issue) about substantive things like questions of love and truth or morality??
Or is it (the problem or question) more about style or the way something gets done or solved??
I happen to believe that God cares a great deal more about getting the substantive issues right than He does how something gets done or resolved.
But also teach him how to treat a man and hold on to a husband.
Love from Canada! Yes, I’m 39 Chinese women listening to you and mamma bear💖💎🙋🏻♀️
Mr. Rodgers said the best thing you can do for other people is have the courage to be yourself.

Great video chat!
I'll be 60 in April and I can honestly say that I have always been me since my teens, stood out from the crowd in my own unique style, even amongst my peers. On the very rare occasion that I tried to follow the herd, it didn't feel real or me, thus I went back to my longhaired, bearded biker/mountain man ways, and my spirit feels at peace within.
Best regards.
It is very refreshing to hear an empathetic mind for younger adults, thank you.
Please don't change your style of videos...your channel is unique and obvious growing fast please keep it as is

!!!!!!GREAT video!!!!!
I'm 59 years old, and I have found out that for some of us, it can be a long journey to find out who we really are. I think, for me, I have finally boiled me down to the actual me, but it has taken a lot of trial and error. Just being honest with myself, I guess, was the hardest part. Realizing that I am good enough as I am. Not that I don't need to keep improving, heck, we all do, but it's a good feeling to realize that you have become who you truly are.
this idea is basically my filosofy of life. i bring this with me for a little time, but i'm getting better, i am more happy and see more sense in life. i have 18 years old and i am very proud of me, because a lot of people with my same age don't have this thinking, i feel more mature with this, and i have sure that i am.
sorry for my bad inglish im brazilian
It's pretty good English! My only critique is that 'filosofy' is spelled 'philosophy'. Have a great day!
