    I am glad to see you appreciate all you have. After a roof, a warm bed and a toilet, everything else is a luxury. Your mother raised you well, young man.❤😊

    👋🏾I don’t know why you popped up today. . .I am a senior 73. . .I used to have your mindset when I lived in California for 30 years. I’ve retired and moved to another state to be close to my son and family. . .I’ve been here for 7 years. . .slowly losing my old self. . .going down all of the traps you described. I said a prayer this morning asking that my sense of peace be restored . . .3-hours later, you show up in my You Tube feed. . .I think I’ll choose gratitude over the weird feeling that you actually heard my prayer. . .I know it’s the Universe just sending me what I need. I subscribed.❤

    Spending money on things you don't need is ruining our planet. Buy needs, not wants. Also, quit comparing your life to someone else's. Do what feels right for you and just live your life.

    resonate so much w this approach to life ~ have purged almost ALL of my belongings, surrendered to spirit, deleted social media besides youtube, spend most days quiet + with my dog + outside + minimal minimal rituals + live much more fully with much less things
    the part i've struggled the most with + really appreciate you including ~ is to stop having unrealistic expectations of myself
    i used to over function + over caretake all the time (had a chaotic upbringing + was a parentified + emotionally abused child) ... i used to feel so worthless + also would (a bit addictively) add new routines + rituals etc ... intended as personal care / development / growth ... but too much. too rigid. too many things. the rituals are meant to help slow + simplify, but i was bringing the over-functioning into that as well ~ like you said
    in the past years i had some major disabling events which have left me with sooo little physical + mental energetic capacity + i've had to rest sooo much. my expectations of self have had to change (spirit made sure i listen lol)
    thank you to anyone who reads (+ resonates) w this ~ either way i'm grateful to you for sharing this video

      truest luxury is being in warm clothes (it's freezing temps here this season) + going on a several hour long long walk wander with my sweet doggie. we follow our curiosity + take our time + rest + only use the phone to take some photos (i like taking close ups of things like dew drops + how the light travels + colors that inspire etc ~ the photos aren't to share, more like a sketchbook of inspirations + sensory beauty ... sometimes my guides communicate with me by showing me those photos later + speaking to me through their symbolism ... it's one of the languages with my guides)

    LaJuan, I subscribed back when you had just a handful of followers and I just saw you've hit 12k! That put a big smile on my face :) You know, I subscribed because I'm trying to turn my life around, and your videos have made me feel less alone on this journey, they've made me feel stronger, more focused, and motivated. Life is pretty tough right now, but I have goals and I'm determined to achieve them.
    Anyway, thanks for being you, for making your videos, and for sharing your wisdom, insights, and culture. Your mind is truly beautiful.
    Big hug from Italy!

    Hey can I ask what were the categories in your life you chose one thing to focus on? This really speaks to me. thanks

    • @LaJuan.FTB1
      @LaJuan.FTB1  3 місяці тому

      Hey there!
      I focus almost exclusively on health, wealth (financial), Relationships, Fulfilling work, Peace, Contribution and Personal Happiness.
      I also try to mix these in where I can, for example I want to make videos on UA-cam full time because it's fulfilling work to help people similar to me (Contribution), it feels like a contribution and if the stars align it can also be financially rewarding. So it hits 3 categories at the same time even without any income from it. (Like I'm at right now 😂)
      In an ideal world I do just 2 things that cover all these categories so I don't have to spread my focus anywhere and I can give my all to just 2 things.
      Hope this helped!

    Awesome 💯 video, but how do you find work being a freelancer without socials? 😢

    • @LaJuan.FTB1
      @LaJuan.FTB1  3 місяці тому

      I don't freelance anymore but in the past I'd do email marketing. I used Lemlist because they're a simple to use platform. (I'm just saying what I used not saying you should)
      Also a lot of work came from Upwork initially then with those feedback and experience I was able to build out my website.
      My experience has been freelance is a way of saying I'm working for myself so people negotiate that way which makes things difficult.
      If I represent myself as a company ( Website email marketing hiring data scrapers to find potential customers) then they talk and respond as if I inherently have more authority and I'm not hustling to find.
      However NOW I would make a social media page and do it from the businesses perspective and use myself as the face of it so it's still not "MY PAGE" because the authority determines their perceived value and perceived valur determines price. (Sorry for the rant, I'm not a pro, just sharing my strategy)
