- Harsh truth brother, let’s talk!
From June 7th to June 16th I will be traveling
with family. Spending time with loved ones,
unplugging, and connecting with God more.
This means I won't be able to respond to comments,
which is my favorite thing to do. I just want you all
to know that I love and appreciate you, and that each day
I'm away I will have a new video up for you because I would
never leave you all hanging. Talk to you guys soon!
Still comment, I'll get back to you soon.
To my purpose driven brothers, this channel is for you. My name is Malique, I was born in Miami, and I'm 22 years old. None of that matters though, what matters is that we become 1% better each day and that we stay on our purpose. As I look around in the world many men drift like Napoleon Hill suggests, they drift away from their goals, dreams, and God given purpose. This channel is to help us men become non drifters, in other words help us become purposeful, disciplined, and truly masculine men. Expect multiple uploads a week to help you self improve.
Connect with me on social media for one on one help @maliquedlewis on instagram/tiktok/X
OR
email me forpurposedrivenmen@gmail.com for one on one consultations
I'm rooting for you brother, let's be great.
All it takes is one step brother. You don’t have to have all the answers, you don’t have to figure everything out, you just have to take one step at a time. I believe in you. Thank you for watching 🙏🏽

Can I ask what’s a good outline for my to-do list? I’m looking for a job and am broke so that’s all I have on my to-do list as of now. Kinda feeling stuck
This video, it broke me down, tore me asunder. Opened my eyes wide because someone finally explained what it meant to "grow up." I cried literal tears. As im writing this, Im crying, reflecting, thinking about how I didn't figure this out on my own, and it hurts. It hurts so bad, but that just means it meant something more than a few words.
I had over 11k in credit card debt at one point. It is down to $6500 and still going down since my dad convinced me to take control with a budget. A budget showed me that I have way more money than I thought I did, and I was just throwing it away.
Deleted my comment, nice one bro.
L bro, you only preach god because you aren’t on the street starving. There’s a different between being self sufficient and being selfish.
if ur too busy worrying and focusing on other people, grow up
That my problem
You guys too?
How do you resist the urge to harden your heart?
Spotted the man child 😂
@@Yahshuaismyeverything trying to shame when he's taking accountability is btch behavior dawg
learning this at 19 is a life saver
real
Same just turned 20 bro frfr
Apply it
Keep learning it. You'll be 25 looking back wondering how you were so dumb back then
its his opinion u not learning shit go do you not a sheep to nobody
This doesn't just apply to men... this a universal message for ALL humans... that's how I feel.
I feel that way too 💯
When it comes to growing up a shitty life due to circumstances out of your control, you have the absolute right to be pissed about it and blaming it to how you turned out. With that in mind, after coming to that realization, you should ask yourself "what do i do now?". Youre resentment is absolutely justified. What matters in the end is what you do next.
Everything you said was the truth brother 🙏🏽🔥
The hardest thing for me was overcoming failure after trying my best. When you cut out all the childish things, make the schedules, do the work, get up early, avoid the drugs, the girls, the parties, you make the sacrifice and you STILL fall short. Not only that the window of opportunity has passed and you don't get another opportunity to try again. Thats the one we dont talk about so much. Thats the one that aspiring athletes and even ambitious students go through every year. You have to accept that the dream is over and all that time you invested did not bear any fruit and you are forced to start over again and find a new passion when all younever wanted was one thing. And you have to ask yourself "what tf do I do now" and there is just silence, you are on your own and noone cares but you. It sucks.
Cookin with gas
This the one.
@@realantagonist5324woah there buddy, you had me till the very end there. If no one cares but you then you are actually the problem. If you are just a bare minimum decent person who worked hard and failed to accomplish something then even you’re acquaintances would take notice and try and assist you. You gotta put in work to have no one in your corner
I’m 23 and I barely came to the realization that I need to become a man. I wish I would have learned this years ago. I finally took the first step, and it’s one step at a time. I appreciate you brother, you have taught me a lot. 🙏🏽 God Bless you!
The fact you already realize it so young is a win brother
Keep going and it really is a step at a time. 🤝
@@Bassynater2500 Thank you brother, likewise 💯🤝
Keep that same energy bro you got it 💪🏾💪🏾
Bro I’m 28 your fine part of life good your woke tho
Ay bro who cares if you are just finding it out, you’re being a man now and that’s what matters
35 wife and a child, Still needed to hear this. Because every once in a while we drift off course. Thanks for grabbing the wheel real quick.
"because every once in a while we drift off course" this
So true brother, we all needed this. Even the person who made it 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Proud of you!👍
so real
@@PurposeDrivenMen bless up.
“Someone ain’t ganna do the work for you” something I actually needed to hear lately.
You got this bro 🙏🏽🔥
You need someone to tell you that. This generation is cooked
@@ggdubs1796I needed that
@@corpingtons for real perspective is everything
@@corpingtons Crazy how yall need to be told these things. But regardless keep growing and learning.
love this man i’m 26 and just now coming to these realizations.
Never too late brother!
Each man has his own cross to carry.With God all things are possible.
Amen brother 🙏🏽
A lot of Christians/religious people in the world, but I do not see it becoming a better place. If this were true, world hunger wouldn't be an issue in such an age & the US wouldn't have the highest poverty rates ever, despite being Christian-central. The world just gets worse. It's up to a person to make something possible. Faith can help with feelings, sure, which is why people say what you do. But, that's all it is.
@titusg4247 The world has gotten one trillion times better than it was in the past. We only know the world as it is today, but if you study history, you'll see how awful things were.
@@anthonyernst999 On a longer scale, you're right, things have gotten better in many ways. However, it's almost like things started to get much better after the industrial revolution, followed by the technological age we live in now, brought about by science.
Also, back in the times you speak of, pretty much *_everyone_* was *heavily* religious. It was peak religion back then, so why was it so bad, as you say it was, if extremely devout theism came as a standard and to find an atheist was rare?
Also, your comparison was poor. I aren't talking about way back when. I'm talking about relevant times for people that are alive now (past 100 years, let's say). Look at that awful war that's going on in the East, all in the name of religion.
Homelessness in places like the UK and the US is rising rapidly. The church certainly has enough money to fix it, but that won't happen. We live in a capitalist world, we can only help ourselves. You could spend your entire life praying to god for a miracle on the top of a mountain as hard as possible your entire life, but nothing will happen unless you take initiative and do it yourself.
Faith (can) helps people mentally, which is why I sorta wish I were able to believe in a god myself. It'd be easier to get my act together if I feared a place called hell.
@titusg4247 In the past 100 years, we fought in two World Wars, The Cold War, The Vietnam War, and others. I'm not saying things are perfect, but if we compare now to Roman times, we are much better off.
Brothers im 28 had my own spot at 24 , I went back home at 26 on my way back out but with 3 business and 3 jobs so brothers your journey is your journey sometime you gotta reset but don’t waste the time‼️ : much love and success brother
3 jobs AND 3 businesses? Ur an inspiration 🙏🏽
Facts I left home at 22. With my first child. I’m 26 with 3 and another on the way. Only income and my wife stay home bc that’s how I feel things should be. Call me old school. Still out the house but I went back a few times during separations w my kids mom. Lots of setbacks I’ve faced God kept me going. Still far from the destination.
@@Malikforever for sure but don’t waste the resets grow financially and mentally much respect brother
Falling down is realizing you were standing once
@@gck8288 amen brother
I'm 31. Despite still living with my mom, having no car and barely $1000 in savings, I can safely say that I'm on my way up. I still seek comfort more often than not, and I don't make to-do lists. But really, everything else I have made strides change, very recently as a matter of fact.
I still have a ways to go, but little changes every day add up really quick.
When it comes to incremental change, the only "too little" or "too small" is none at all.
Love ya, bros.
I’m tired of y’all 30 something’s still acting like ignorant kids smh. Y’all act more immature than me when I was a teenager…. I was working since I was 18, now I’m 21, have like over 50k in my bank. And you… a grown @$$ 31 year old man only has 1k…. And still lives with his mom… 🤣
I’m earning my money so I can live alone when I’m older. Why on earth are there grown people like you still behaving like kids? It’s ridiculous…
Like what have you been doing all this time? I swear, it’s like y’all lived your childhood and skipped your teens and 20’s and landed in your 30’s all of a sudden 🤣 cuz this is just not possible
Keep shining brother. I'm rooting for you 🤝
27 here man, finding my way one step at a time. I crashed hard on my goals this year but hearing stuff like this keeps me up. You got this brother, just remember, we can still lean on others for emotional support. Having that support network is vital

I turn 20 in about a week. A few months ago I finally woke up and realized I needed to grow the fuck up. I am not close to where I need to be, but am a hell of a lot closer than I was a few months ago. These videos have been a real help in kicking my ass into gear. Thank you bro!
Same bro I turn 20 in September, it’s hella I done realized, it’s about what step next we gone take
I turn 20 next month I decided not to live with my parents in a new city and stay in my hometown with my sisters to force myself to level up through uncomfortable situations like basically being homeless to push myself to be in a position I want to be in which is a homeowner at a young age (under 21) even though it’s hard at times and I want to fold I know perseverance and dedication will make all of this worth it
Im ab three months into 20 and it’s the things like drugs alcohol social media that keeps us down but I’m glad there’s a group of us that realize we have to grow up we have to do this shit respect to you my boy the journey gonna be crazy
When I turned 19 I randomly applied to hella jobs and I got a job working as an electrical apprentice. Company put me thru school and I really enjoyed doing electrical work so I stuck with it. Now I’m 25 years old and I’m a licensed electrician making well over 6 figures. It was tough becoming a man in the trades but it made me who I am. Now I’m looking into starting my own electrical business. I recommend you young folks to join the trades. Plumbing,hvac, electrical, carpenter.. any skilled trade is in very high demand fr.
That's a good sign, it's a sign you care about your life a lot but you just don't know how to get into things yet. This was the wake up call to get out there and just look an find what you're passionate about. I was just like you, existential dread crept up on me when turning 20 and I decided from there that I have to get out there and find my passion in this world, something to be happy about in life because someone else can't provide that anymore. I feel like it's an experience all men go through when hitting their 20s, it's a very important time in our lives bc it's the beginning of our true independence. Goodluck brother, keep your head up high
20 years old, needed this, every night playing video games, not being productive; this gave me a clear head, to set challenges for myself and get uncomfortable to achieve fulfillment and higher goals. Thank you LORD and the HOLY FATHER for breathing life into me for the days I’ve had and will have on this earth i beg for forgiveness for the time I’ve wasted, the time you’ve given me; forgive me for the envy in my heart and guide me to a place of humility and gratitude. AMEN
AMEN 🙏🏽
You can still play video games bruh, just switch properties, achieve your dreams full time and play games on the side.
@@MMIV-GAMESCAPEsome guys think games are childish lmao, never give up happiness for success.
I suffer from OCD and I'm 18 years old. I've recently turned my life to Christ. My biggest problems are procrastination and laziness. I've been isolated for 4 years due to my anxiety and overthinking. Now that I'm a bit stronger because of God, I want to be more mature and improve myself. I've suffered and I've been lazy, but I have never given up. I'm trying to change and I'm determined to move forward. Thank you for this video
Never gave up, Amen bro
34, yr old single man, no kids, yet homeless because of how I grew up. Currently still struggling to live and would have arguments in my head of how wrong they were for neglecting me and not being an actual family. I pray and look for everyday alternatives to replace those thoughts of victimizing myself. But the reality is still daunting. Bless up
This right here man
I use to blame the creator for my situation but then I realized it was my fault entirely
Because your delusional
Yep I realized the creator will litterly give you what you need. But our ego as humans we tend the think we know what's bests for us. God will litterly put stuff in front if us and we will still be like naw ima go this way.
Same here brother.
We all been forced to be here. Hows that our fault? My resentment towards god will be forever.
No one volunteer to be here, you’re right. Even more reason why to submit to the savior. Everyone here has a purpose. This existence is too elaborate and complex to all be for nothing. Get away from your victim mentality and seek God
I’m 29 and still struggling with these things. Pray for me y’all. I’m workin hard to change
dw bro as long as you also pray for yourself, Gods gotcha
Lock in bro, Filipinos are hard workers but we can get distracted easily and/or lazy. Whatever it is you do, give it your all and you’ll be fine. Mahal
Same age same boat Filipino I'm with you fam.
I’m w u bro 22 been on my own but it’s jus hard to keep it pushin and knowing what the next step is , I don’t wanna say i wish but it would’ve been easier with some guidance but you’ll go through stuff that only you and a certain amount of others would understand real recognize real it’s just so crazy how people take things for granted
We must pray for each other bro at all time and ask god to help us lock in
Powerful message. You're waking up a lot of young men with this. Much respect my brother 🙏🏾
2nd year of college and still complaining, not putting the hours at work. 23 next month and l am rock bottom. I got 4 months still the end of my flat-contract. I can’t even sleep looking for a second job to pay for the next semester. Facts big bro, a man child for days. Gotta man up.
Damn bro im keeping you in my prayers please keep your head up stay safe 🙏 gotta look out for eachother out here
Sending love and prosperity to you brother I hope it ends in your favor !Stay strong !
fact in the same position, same age😂❤ same problems, its time for us to grow up
Just sharing my heartfelt opinion , but at that age and position I went through that. Please know the struggle doesn’t disappear just your decision to let it affect you changes. We talk down on the guy who living with his parents and not chasing. But it’s all about being accountable/owning your development. Because a mosquito will always try to bite you when THEY are hungry, but its up to go outside w/o protection and to get angry when an insect bites you because of their nature, but you can give them your everything they need and never will satisfy them. 😅 *Hopefully this makes sense.
U got this my man, keep going and don’t give up just push yourself everyday but give urself time to rest and take breaks so u can keep going too, also working out helps focus
The crazy thing is that I literally know all the right things that I need to be doing to elevate in life, but because of lack of drive and my mind making me crave comfortably it’s hard to follow those steps. In the past month though i’ve been taking control of my life and forcing myself to do tasks that I don’t want to do, and this has really made a positive impact on my life, especially the advice from your videos. Keep up the good work, messages, and positivity.💙
Pray about bro and read atomic habits that’s what’s helping me rn kinda in the same boat I’m 21
This is facts bro the mind the only thing holding us back we know we gotta lock in! Its time to elevate 📈💙
I resonate intensely with this.
I relate to this so much, I'm 24 and I'm really aware, yet I genuinely lack that mental drive, I've sabotaged myself so much, but don't give up on hope, we at least have our mind in the right direction
18, and uh yeah feeling this. Heavy .
This is a great motivation and an eye opener of everyone. Thanks, fam
This video honestly filled me with joy.
I really needed it. The feeling is so liberating.
20 about to turn 21, I've been on the path to becoming a man since I was 18 with some help from my dad but he's always working and can only teach me when he's home (one and a while).
I've been feeling a bit lonesome due to my peers and friends always being on some worldy timing and always question the things that I do
( Doesn't drink very much, quit smoking weed, barely play video games, and not spanking my monkey or "fucking hella bitches" )
as I stay sober minded to reach my goals because nobody else can do it but me at the end of the day and thought I was the only person who felt like this but its good to know there are brothers and sisters out there who are on the same page trying to improve themselves to the best of their ability.
We’re with you brother on the same page! You’re not alone 💪🏽🔥🔥
Proud of u fam
It’s men like you that are really making the waves in changing the world for our brothers. Thank you 🙏🏾
I appreciate that more than you know 🙏🏽💪🏽
"if i gotta go harder then so be it" hit a core bro thankyou!
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
im still a teen 16yrsold, after watching so many advice videos in youtube, you have truly enlightened me i have realized today that my actions are childish because the mistakes i have made was because of my emotions and becuase i have realized it now i will try to be more patient and have self control and dicipline, because in life it isnt about your achievements, status or anything you contributed good in the end all what matters is how you approach people and how you approach them, having a friendly appeal even the smallest good gestures they may not notice it but deep down it feels good for you, honestly man you are underrated, you totally goated for this speech.
I appreciate this channel, it keeps me in track, I will try and apply the principles that are taught here because my life is in a downward spiral
33yr old single dad of 3, you got a new subcriber on this one. Great message here!
That means a lot brother thank you, keep being a great dad! 💪🏽🙏🏽
God bless you man keep going strong 💪
Subscribed, needed to hear a reminder like this💪🏽
I love how you deliver your messages bro. You say what needs to be said, but in a way that builds up rather than tears down; inspires rather than demoralizes.
Glad you picked up on that 🙏🏽 that’s definitely intentional, we all need encouragement 💪🏽
Thank you brother, your word has planted a seed that will grow beyond limit. Peace God
Thank you for tuning in brother 🙏🏽
Heard you loud and clear. And I will be applying this to my life from now on. Thank you for changing my toxic and immature perspective. I wish you well.

Man I’m lovin it I’m 23 I’ve pretty much learned to grow up on this journey but this is a great reminder of what not to be ! Amen brother god bless
love you man glad i came across this at 19 bless up
Blessings brother, me finding this video is a testament to my progression. Glory to God!
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Bless you bro, this advice wasn’t for me, but I just threw it on and kept it on because It’s so solid and you kept a good masculine energy rolling. This some big bro stuff that a lot of people need to hear. Putting ourselves in a humble position and opening our hearts to this. Because ultimately it comes from a place of love.
Yessirr needed this . Did 6 yrs in the military. But we all get distracted n comfortable!
Bro this really helped me thank you and god bless you
I’m 20 years old and I’m so grateful for this advice big bro 💪🏾
Glad you tuned in bro 💪🏽
this showed me what the main focus is for a man in general and to keep yourself on schedule everyday and to become a provider by becoming self sufficient great video
Thank you 🙏🏽
Glad to see this video! Great inspirational message! I really needed this! Thank you and keep it up!❤
Okay but you HAVE TO expect LOVE. It’s the answer, as I man I tell my brothers I love them, care for those around me with tenderness, it’s the deep compassion found in love for every living thing. It’s given me the world. Share love. Be strong.
We have to be the ones to share it, and you’re doing just that, I do the same 🙏🏽 we must be the change we wish to see, but expectations? I’m not a fan of expectations I only have expectations of myself. You’re 100% right though brother, LOVE is the answer, and it always will be
Realest shit I’ve heard all year, god speaking to me through u I feel like.
🙏🏽glad God sent this video your way
I needed this today
Man it’s so good to see your growth little bro you on point! Keep going you talking good 💪🏽
22nd bday to day, whole day has been a eye opener and this vid is the cherry on top. Thanks for spreading this message.
More life brother! Glad my videos could help 🔥🔥🔥
i just found your channel and I'm so happy I did, I'm a female but I need your videos to help me through this healing journey, sending you love
Glad you found this channel too, you’re definitely welcomed here, let’s be purpose driven! Thank you for tuning in
I’m 21 1/2 years old. I started my journey at 17. I’m glad I found this at the right time. I’m still not 100%- but I’m hungry I strive for greatness
💪🏽 as long as you stay hungry you’re going to go far
My first video watching this channel im at a bad point but i gotta say this definitely lifted me up and gave me a slap i needed thanks for your words big bro i pray god puts everyone on his way
man ths video really made me realize no matter what somebody say erbodies experiences are different especially in the childhood, im glad things worked out for u n u found success on YT wish i could get that lucky break too man
I thank god for letting me get to your page and keeping me in tune with it as much as I click on the video and to hear and read everyones stories it helps me focus and stay motivated and I hope that one day we will all have been in contact with each other at least once for being able to do something in a world where nothing seems to lead to repeats. Wish the best on everyone and hope more learn these mindsets and morals in one way or another, love
I thank God for sending this your way as well brother! Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks for confirming im not a man-child.
Keep waking people up brotha🤙🏾
We got this brother 🔥💪🏽
all facts, had to hear this to boost my inspiration again to fight harder than i already do. I know a lot of men around me that are just what he's explaining right now and i've tried my best to change their mind and views that they gotta put that effort to get the results but nah i forget myself is also included and i start slackin focusing on getting everyone to my mindset. great video i needed this again. time to grind again
i would have to say this part of growing up is knowing your flaws and trying to correct as soon as possible i think men are waking up sooner then later and im thankful for that i appreciate your videos we all gotta improve regardless of our circumstances
Aye brotha just started watching your stuff this week actually and from the only 4 videos I’ve watched so far, every single one resonates with me!! Appreciate you for the wisdom and all in out being real w the people !! Love the messages everyday, you the first thing I put on after I leave the gym now instead of music!! Thanks bro bro keep up the blessings 🩶🔝
Thank you brother! I appreciate your support fam 🖤💪🏽
loving the videos bro, i’m headed into college soon and all these videos have opened my eyes, be safe out there, i’ll keep you in my prayers 🙏❤️
Keeping you in my prayers too bro, use college to elevate elevate elevate 📈📈 you’re going to go far fam ❤️
Found this at the perfect time man… Currently going through a fallout with my closest friends who are also my roommates cause I got fired and haven’t paid my portion of rent on multiple occasions. My incompetence and negligence to bring matters into my own hands has caused tremendous stress on not only myself but to those around me (ie. my family and friends). I suck at communicating even though I’m 24 which doesn’t make things better. This video made me realize how far I’ve fallen but also opened up my eyes to ways I can redeem myself. Ima take that first step to become the man I want to be and have a nice long chat with my roommates about everything. Whatever comes after that i’m taking to the chin and pushing forward. Thank you for your words bro. 🙏🏽
This actually helps me bro, thank you for making this video🙏
🫡🙏🏽
Reallll Ty I’m 22 nd needed dis Ty malique
You got this brother, I’m 22 as well. It’s a great age to be, life is just starting, keep going, I believe in us!
Hey bro, I really appreciate your videos, been doing a lot of self-reflection before i found your channel this is exactly what I needed right now.
I started a new career. Got out of a serious relationship (she was talking to other men in an adult context). When we talked about it as we decided to part ways, I had to be honest with myself and realize I needed to change and be better.
I appreciate your wisdom fr bro. It took me waaay too long at 26 to realize all of this stuff, but I still have plenty of time to improve. Every day God gives me is a blessing and I don’t want to waste it.
I know you’ll continue to do great things bro! You got the purpose driven mindset and you got God, you’re unstoppable 🙏🏽
to do list. thank you bro 👍🏾 such a small thing can be so impactful
You got it!
Im 24 and some of the things you said resonate with me so im grateful that i saw this 🙏
Grateful you saw it as well brother 🙏🏽
Thanks my guy i really needed to hear this
You got this brother
Thank you man, your message means a lot!🙏
Glad I could help brother
It's everything I needed to hear thank you for genuine heart, and concern. And the message. ✊️☝️Rock Steady
I love that you added some time at the end with the music playing. It really helped me absorb what you said and think about how I can apply that in my life and do better. I never meditate or anything like that at all and now I really want to start doing it.
Thank you i could relate to this off the jump. Each one teach one.
Facts brother, each one teach one, no ones perfect, especially not me, I’m just doing my part, thank you for watching fam 🙏🏽
this was tight bro
i appreciate this
Definitely bro 💪🏽
Needed this, well said brother.
Thank you for this vid brother. So long, have us as men, been focused on all the bs that women have been doing, that we forgot to take a moment to reassess ourselves.
Just graduated a few weeks ago, came to the realization that I’m like a big baby still and have been letting life shape me as it will
Well if that's goes into girls or relationships just know people like audio visual stuff like movies etc or even make your thoughts/conversations have more audio and visual energy in it and you will attract people easy ngl had the switch a week ago and it's easy to pick up girls irl and talk to people that I would of had anxiety to before etc
@@nhingedwhat do you mean have more audio or visual? Like be more descriptive when speaking and have more body language?
I’m 18 and life’s been tough and I’ve been forced to mature really fast because of some crazy shit that’s been happening, and watching this shows me how much I’ve grown, thank you.
Keeping you in my prayers dawg we all gotta get through the tough times 🙏
Good job. I wish I was 18 again. Young af
Same here bro
You saying that real shit my brother, kids who are growing up without fathers need to hear words from people like you 🔥💯
I’m 23 and I definitely needed this reminder today, been trying to improve myself and my mentality and realized this was the part I was missing especially the hard truth. Thank you for putting this out there, definitely needed this to put me back in line
You got this! 🫡
Thank you so much for this video, I really needed it. Felt like I was having a conversation with an old friend sharing wisdom about life.
I'm 25 and I recently realized that this life is mine. It's no one's responsibility but my own because I'm way too grown to have others think for me. I've always felt like I needed permission to do stuff, but it's legit my life and if I don't do anything, nothing's gonna happen.
💪🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Keep going bruh i needed this ❤
Thank you brother we got this 💪🏽❤️
Im 17 and I needed to hear this, thank you for waking me up to reality, god bless you!
I’m hearing this at 27
blud is giving me the talk i wish my father gave me before he passed away last month. thank u for this big dawg.
A man's life is a personally responsibility just like a bank account
Facts!! 💯💯💯
This is something I needed to hear.
Glad you heard it brother
Thank you for this fam, God bless you so much 🙌
God bless you too brother
21 really needed this felt pretty lost past couple years have been putting in the work but still couldn’t overcome my demons, this video really helps me as I’m feeling really shitty today and this makes me want to put in that work because we all have shitty days but feeling shitty n doing nothing n coping will do nothing.
I played games, blamed people and nothing was ever my doing or my problem. My addictions, my debt and my health. Nothing changed until I took ownership. Stay Uncommon!
Stay uncommon! 💪🏽
Love these vids man. I needed this. Also a suggestion, you should put these on spotify, id love to listen to these on my way back from the gym
Bet brother I got you 🔥🤝🏽
Another one of those videos that mysteriously pops into my feed, and I'm thankful for it.
While I was reminded of things I need to do, there are also things that... I realize that I actually was doing all this time that were good calls. It sounds weird, but I always thought I wasn't doing the right things in life, but hearing some of the things in this video made me realize that, "Actually, I'm doing alright right now."
Thank you for this video. Not only did you make points that are honestly solid, but it reminded me that I'm not as bad as I thought I was. I hope you have a wonderful day and may God bless you and everyone here.
Dude... this came at the right moment, u have no idea. It's really hard to cope with all that stuff when you feel alone and kind of hopeless. Thank you !
32 with two sons. I learned this when I was 7 years old and have done for myself ever since. Yes I lived under my mothers roof until 17, but I never asked her for anything cause I didn't want to feel disappointment from expectations. I was reminded I was on the right track when at 14 I started dating and when I was let down I didn't let it affect me emotionally like how I've seen my peers react to girls during my teenage years. Into adult hood this ideology served me well in the military and going into marriage this still served me well as I don't expect anything from my wife. I chose to be with her and if it gets to the point where I need to let her go because she's becoming a problem financially then I'll move on and I let her know that from the get go with a prenup before we got married. I've been married for 10 years now, still going strong and that doesn't mean things are perfect or we don't have minor challenges along the way, but we know how to get back on track. 2 kids in I'm now teaching my oldest these things while still allowing him to be a child and enjoy his childhood. The younger one still has time before I start on him. But, yes definitely men or young men have to understand this sooner than later. It will save you alot of stress, it will teach you how to handle situations with class, and it will build you to become BETTER MEN for yourselves for our society and for the children.
Thank you so much for sharing this brother, thank you for your service and I know it was yesterday but happy Father’s Day to you 💪🏽
facts. i didnt grow up until i was 30. now i have a purpose that i work towards daily.
I’m 28 and I feel like I still have so much growing up to do it’s ridiculous
You’ll be all good. I’m 43 and I’ve only been on the up for like 5 years. It’s crazy how quickly very very small changes stack up and within months you can be on a different trajectory.
🙏🏽
That’s pathetic. I grew up since I was 18. And here we have these sorry excuses for human, who have lived for 30 years, let me repeat- 30 YEARS, and just barely “growing up” isn’t that sad to you? Like what have you been doing all this time? Playing with toys? 🤣
Pathetic

This really helped me today. Thank you man. God bless you
Hey man, I really needed to hear this. Thank you for making this and for helping people like me through their journey in life
You’re welcome brother, you got this 🙏🏽
Bless up men we got this❤💪🏼
Yes we do!
1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways
Love this, I can say that I definitely had this man-child belief as you call it, which changed, after reading a book and realizing, while it's true that others may have put you in a certain situation or life did, which isn't always good, you can still choose how you respond to it it's the only thing truly in our control is our own behaviors.
Thanks big bro my soul is at ease a lil and the tears keep me comfortable with the reality👍
im turning 21 and he’s turning 23 in a few weeks. we’re both getting grown now and im becoming an independent young lady but even when he says he’s trying, he’s just not there. its been like this since i was 17. i wish he would watch this and seek advice and help from men like you. it’s so telling how im the one watching this and sat through with real interest. and there’s no use in sending it to him because i know now that on the chance that he does watch it, it really has to be his choice to seek help anyways 🤷🏾♀️ id never let him hold me back anymore than he has but i definitely still love him and if he just took himself seriously he’d make an excellent partner and parent, but idk. i feel stuck because he’s stuck and i’ve done everything i possibly can to help but i can only do so much without “saving him” and ruining myself.
I know it wasn’t easy to write this, but I’m glad you did, I won’t tell you what to do, but I will say this: I hate feeling stuck in life. Do what’s best for you, make sure grace, patience, and love is implemented in that decision as well, you got this. Let’s keep being great 🙏🏽
This is a great step for me, I’ve been trying my hardest to get to where I need to be. Even before this video I keep trying and it’s paying off. Then after listening to this video it’s only making my path my clear. Thank you, imma go great things
I needed to hear this (19yr old) n i gotta man up and start facing the reality of life
22, back at home, working on getting out. 500 dollars left on my car. Just got out of the first real relationship I’ve ever had. Training for a marathon because I love myself and I need it more then anything. No more setbacks.
