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
this is just what i need. getting a new job soon and after having worked for 10 years and not having anything to show for it im ready to actually be financially wise
At work we have to put our phones away, so I only check it 2x a day. At home, I intentionally set aside half an hour for social media time bc limiting it is always a good idea ❤
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)
More great tips and advice. I've been trying to apply a lot of what you say to my life. Although it's a challenge, putting the effort in has yielded some great results in terms of productivity and honestly just feeling better. Cheers man!
Thank you for these tips, I can understand they are really something great to adjust the direction of my life. As you said, the problem (for me) is to stop minding other’s opinions and stop worrying
Y'all gonna act like you didn't see the "kidnap the neighbour's dog' on his busy-ness list? That got me! That aside, thanks for the nuggets LaJuan. 💙😄😄
I just wanted to remind you of the super joyful text below: "I love the break for the joke. I wasn't expecting that. I love your videos. The clear principles with tangible solid steps that you deliver in these videos are making a real difference in my life. Me in life💃🏾 notification hits 🪑 class in session. Thank you! I had the desire, and now I'm gaining the discipline."
Another amazing video as always man. Thanks so much for making this. You’re adding so much positivity to the world and I look forward to each of your videos!
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!
I can't express how much this impacted me ! I really really appreciate your support and I'm excited to make these changes together! We control our destiny! 💪🏽
hey i just want to say thabkyou for uploading this kind of video, 🙂 i love your content and im about to finish all your vlog. i realize i myself was a frugal not the cheapstake, i want to save money but not to the extreme and i always want to spend what i think have the value in the long term i want to be more frugal, and invest in myself thats why i keep on watching yout videos keeping uploading hoping you get 1m subscriber🎉 Godbless you!
New subscriber here! I just found your channel and I enjoyed this video! Can't wait to see more. I made sure to click LIKE so I can help you have a good morning. ;)
Just found your channel - and I have subscribed. Love your vibe and energy and have similar goals as you. Looking forward to more of your brilliant content. Peace!
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!
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)
It’s pretty difficult to hear and focus on you, your voice, with such strong, overwhelming music music, that you relegate you/your voice to the background …😓

Simplicity is so underrated 😊
It is. Less is more.
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.
Agreed 👍🏾 💯
I like the mix of accent you have...it makes your videos almost...mmmm what's the word ..😊pleasant
Thank you! 😃

The whole of UA-cam should subscribe to this man like right now!
Yes! When you clear clutter from your environment it somehow also clears from your mind.
I hit the like so you have a great morning tomorrow. Just found this channel and I love it. Peace to everyone reading this
Wake up babe a new LaJuanFTB video just dropped
this is just what i need. getting a new job soon and after having worked for 10 years and not having anything to show for it im ready to actually be financially wise
Wow
I’m so happy I found you!!
Universe always gives you what you need at every step of the journey!
Thanks

i love + appreciate your energy + these wise reminders / guidance
omg the 4:05 moment 😂😭 you're funny af! loved the video
I came across your videos yesterday and I truly enjoy your insight and advise.
Thank you all the way from South Africa.
Thank you for watching!!
At work we have to put our phones away, so I only check it 2x a day. At home, I intentionally set aside half an hour for social media time bc limiting it is always a good idea ❤
Thank you ..I am in the process of minimizing my home and I am getting rid of a lot of stuff. It’s freeing of my mind. I love it here
Luxury experiences ! I get mine through doing simple things. My local church. A walk in the park. An evening jog.
True luxury!
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)

I am binging your videos and love them 🇦🇺💖
I love the tidbit about SM! & DND! You have to control your peace bc no one else will do that for you!
Thank you for these tips, I can understand they are really something great to adjust the direction of my life.
As you said, the problem (for me) is to stop minding other’s opinions and stop worrying
We all struggle with it right, but if I can get better at it anyone can! Thank you for watching!
love you adding more bits of yourself, humour and quirkiness into this video
Dope video, looking forward to the next!
Y'all gonna act like you didn't see the "kidnap the neighbour's dog' on his busy-ness list? That got me! That aside, thanks for the nuggets LaJuan. 💙😄😄
Keep up good work man❤

Just discovered your videos. I'm a fan.
Great video. Looking at my room right now and see... so... many boxes. It's about that time that I start throwing some of them out for a cleaner room.
Another amazing video as always man. Thanks so much for making this. You’re adding so much positivity to the world and I look forward to each of your videos!
Thank you so much!
Another phenomenal video bro 🔥 much love from Tokyo 👌🏼

Hey!!??! You're my (male version) DOPPELGANGER!! Made my jaw drop!!!
😂 Long lost Twinsies probably
Love your videos!
Thank you!
Hi 😮😊Awesome
Nice video. Gracias
Thank you for always watching and commenting! I really appreciate it !
@@LaJuan.FTB1 pleasure
cool video
I think it's called catastrophizing! I might try your 5 year 5 minute rule 🙂
It’s hard to de clutter, but it’s worth doing! We have far too much stuff in our capitalist society.
"kidnap neighbor's dog" 😆🤣🤣

What is the app you use to count how many times you unlock your phone?
Hey can I ask what were the categories in your life you chose one thing to focus on? This really speaks to me. thanks

Pls educate me, what is his accent? I love it! Reminds me of Calypso from Jack Sparrow
Jamaican?
Trinidadian
I'm a Trinidadian ! 😂 But the accent got a big changed since I live abroad but y'all got good ears!
4:17 Not the shiesty!!! 😆
😂😂
TO DO LIST: Kidnap neighbor's dog 🤣🤣🤣
Worry less
I enjoy your videos but the music is a bit loud in this one. It makes it a bit hard to hear you.
Yes! I love this video, but music is much.
True
Awesome 💯 video, but how do you find work being a freelancer without socials? 😢

You're not a tree, move. haha I do really like trees though, but point taken
😂😂 I'll admit the "I do really like tree's" made me laugh out loud literally 😂
