- All the planning in the world is wasted if we never actually execute the plan. The good news is that we can take action to change our lives while we are still afraid. Take the leap scared! The 'courage' comes after the fact.

"Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will." That's one of my favorite quotes to live by.
“One moment can change a day, One day can change a life and One life can change the world”
- Gautama BUDDHA
Holy sh*t Tim, I literally woke up feeling hella anxious because I am ready to quit my job and leave this city. I was praying in my head that I just needed a sign, 1 sign, on what direction to take. And then this this video drops. 😲
Daaammm you an me both I been feelin this way the last few weeks
Whooooooooah😮
I quit my job last Tuesday because of high anxiety induced insomnia.
@@vanessarenda1393 have you bn feeling better
Do it!!!
Someone said "Fear and faith involve believing something that you cannot see, it's your choice what you will believe."
That’s a great quote!
Nice quote.
❤️
This is a good one
In my experience, faith is letting go of belief and finding that the abyss I've fallen into is actually a feather bed.
I left the City of Brotherly Love back in 1997. After the loss of my mother @ 20 years old. I was on a spiraling road of sadness and depression while raising my infant son.. I finally knew I had to do something different or possibly go down hill , and I knew my son deserved more. I saved my $ and moved to Florida where my mother's sister lived and started a fresh new life. THANK YOU GOD I did it. Our lives would not be where we are now, and that is a peace that I now have within, alongside of happiness... JUST DO IT !!!!! Guys.. You live ONCE
You have to just go to bed tonight and call this next day your bitch. This world is cold so have faith in yourself that you can beat this day like nobody beat it before
Paralysis by analysis is real and it's why a lot of people never actually do the things they want to do. They "What if?" themselves into a box and never take a risk. Once you take a leap of faith you'll be amazed at how easy it actually was and you were stressed out over nothing.
That always happens to me. Nothing is ever as bad as I expect to be. We suffer more in our minds than in real life. Have a blessed day.
Great advice. Fear of the unknown can be paralyzing.
I am terrified of heights, and I went skydiving for my 45th birthday. I like to do something terrifying every 5 years, just to put everything else in perspective.
That’s a great idea!
That's awesome! I'm 44 and planning that for myself.
Destiny doesn't make house calls. You have to be out there.
This!
Great quote! So very true...
My dad always said “you should be scared. If you’re making major life changes and you’re NOT scared, there would be something wrong with you.”
And I never really thought about it but I agree, Tim. You don’t realize you’ve been courageous until you’ve done it, look at what you done and realize wow! Look what i did.
The first step is the hardest.
5 years ago my Dad died….I fought my fear and quit my job, sold my home and moved to another state 800 miles away where I knew no one…..best decision ever and listen to my gut closer now. If I’m scared to try I know it’s a must try for me, life is too short.
I know that feeling. Losing a loved one like that will make you realize that life is too short, and it’s time to get started on doing what you want or love.
Watched a lady do a scooter trip across many countries. She was told this and that on how she should do it. She said “go have your own adventure” “I’m doing it, go make your own”
Tim you are a really big influence to me. coming from a person that's not easily influenced. In my mind you won the game of life, you don't ever have to work a regular job again, the most important part is that you travel for a living. Most people would kill to be in your position. You opened alot of peoples eyes about the rigged job force.
"reality is fluid" I like that
Going after things and trying them and failing has saved my mental health more than WAITING. Amen.
I'm Motivated by people that are less fortunate everytime I complain I think to myself it's a person dying to stand in my position. Respect
When youve had too much of bullshit, I mean way toooo much of it, you finally have the courage to do big changes.
You just wait for the point it gets there.
Brother is always on divine timing. Love from the UK 🙏🏾
2nd that uk 🇬🇧 here too👍
@@elliot64673rd tht😊
Lots of "yep" from me watching this. Good philosophy.
"I dont need my courage meter to be on 150"[before I act]
Well said Tim
Your wisdom cheers my soul.
I just love the intro of you stepping in the video with your head down and then the outro leaving us with the nature again 👏🏽😌
💜 to all
Hope you all find peace
I had been listening to Tim's videos..last Friday I just thought..I can't waste my life here. I put my badge in my drawer and I walked out..I'm not gonna lie. I'm concerned. But this has been the best week I've had in a long time. I feel hopeful as a pose to feeling doom daily. U feel sooooo much better. I've been doing functional resumes. And visiting family. It's been great. I appreciate Tim !
You're in law enforcement?
Glad to hear you’ve been having a great week! Keep enjoying your life. And good luck with your next job/adventure!
Amazing advice. Thank you!
Today I went outside for a walk. Had agoraphobia for a year. Which means I was too scared to go outside for a walk. Slowly overcoming my fears.
I started over at least 10 times in my life. Most of those involved me not even considering that I was starting over. I just did it. Make a decision or someone will make a decision for you. I will say that through meditation and stoic philosophy I understand that staying present helps immensely. Yesterday no longer exists and tomorrow doesn't either, only now. That now is an unknown arena for most people. The unknown is where the magic happens, and unfortunately fear of the unknown is what holds us back.
Great video and great background man. Wish I was there right now.
‘The unknown is where the magic happens’, I love that!
Thank you for all you do brother!
My pleasure!
I wish I would have thought about this before becoming a felon. I made some bad choices and forfeited this kind of life. But my brother is doing it and I’m so proud of him. It was a major step and now he’s traveled all over US and Mexico!
If you don’t take action on a meaningful goal it will never be off your mind, the only way to remove the desire to achieve is to achieve!
Well said, Tim! Swimming against the current is tough out here!🐬🌊
Yes, it takes effort… tho keep in mind that only dead fish flow with the stream.
"... In the moment, you're SHOOKETH !!! "
Totally get it. New Zealand.
I am in this situation now. Quiting my well paid job and move to city with better comfort. I have no new job and I know it will be difficult. Not even sure I want to go back to a percent one. But hey, life is short and maybe it’s my last summer and I spend it in place I don’t like.
The company I worked for did me a solid when they let me go after 18 years. I probably wouldn’t have quit. The best feeling is making it happen on my own. Digging in and getting it done whatever “it” is.
I'm about to go through this right now. I got laid off from a very good paying job and I think I'm done with that career and I also think it's time to purge a great deal of My things and I am going to start over.
Good luck on your future adventures!
BLESSINGS TO YOU.. YOU WILL MAKE IT
Be Spontaneous!
Energy follows thoughts
Bad news ish! Love it 🎉😊
I can’t express how much I needed this today, been at my job 9 years, I’m unhappy but comfortable, and leaving to go be a supervisor at a small company. It’s what I want but I’m scared shitless.
The current place keeps dangling the carrot of moving up, but it never happens.
Glad my video could help. Good luck at your new job. I know you are going to crush it!
This is a timely message I’m seemingly getting cooked daily by life, we need encouragement that we’ve got some control over ourselves. I see harder times unfortunately are coming.
You're so good at this, beyond natural!
I was always the strongest and most courages person I know, but this leap thing is another level 👀
I never thought there would be this “threshold”, I never saw it (cos never standing in front of it) and it’s in the most weird way the scariest thing ever 🙏🏼 and the scariest thing is the thought “what if I’m too afraid to make the leap and will then live a life always regretting it?” This is more scary so I think I’ll just do it…soon…now…😅
Regret is one of the worst feelings imaginable. I use fear of regret as a motivator all the time too.
It's always good to see a video from you!
Hope you're doing well!
It’s so good to see your videos 😊🫂💚 God bless you!
This is reminding me to get moving. Thanks, Tim.
So appreciate listening to you and pondering your wise thoughts
Your videos get better and better all the time!
Thank you 👍🏾
I get what you're saying. Tim, you're saying there ain't nothing to it but to do it. I know that life can be challenging and we can at times feel overwhelmed or exhausted. Being a warrior when life gets hard and retreat back into the comfort zone. The comfort zone is a great place to retreat and heal, but the problem with the comfort zone is you can get stuck there because a lot of us would avoid pain for pleasure. When life is going good it's easy to feel confident, but when the traumas and hard times arrive Life doesn't feel so easy. Some people say life is a walk in the park and some people say it's more like Jurassic Park
I love this guy , I wish I could have the balls to do that, but I'm so afraid at this point in my life
Same here
@@PraveenSrJ01 You're afraid with good reason. What he's doing is hella dangerous and not wise at all. True, nothing is guaranteed. However, the life that he's chosen comes with many more challenges and none of the safety nets that others of us can count on. I wouldn't copy him.
@@misspriss2482 that isn’t very nice to put out there so bluntly.
I needed this video I’m about to quit my job
Thanks Tim your pretty funny dude.After watching the vid and reading couple comments ,I remember the movie batman begins .The scene where he has to get out the prison he has climb and he use the rope so if he falls he doesn't fall to his death,then the blind man tells him to jump without the rope so the fear can find him as he moves up without the rope bats come flying out a fear of Bruce wayne as a child to become more intense so he can make that leap.The whole symbol of scene is that your mind is stuck in a prison as you move up in levels fear will happen to get you to make a leap courage to exit out the prison.
Incredible video man. You knew what I needed to hear. It means a lot. Thank you.
Do it scared! I love it.
YESSSSS
PREACH IT❤❤❤ I love it when I hear someone who speaks common sense. Thank you!
I sent this video to my sister. She is an artist and she also writes books. I told her to watch this because it's very inspirational and encouraging 💚🙏🤩 I wish she would just take the leap! She's really that good and I know she would make it 💯
Thanks!
You’re welcome! Thank you for the support!
Mate, this is the predicament I'm in right now. It's about leaving for something the other side of the world. I'm scared of what's out there or even what happens in the future if I don't go for it. Especially in these times mate, uncertain that they are.
Cheers fella, appreciate you
Barry, London 🤙
Just moved from OR to MS. For no reason other than Things Needed To Change. Thank you Tim, I'm grateful to hear someone tell me Fine Do It Scared But Do It!!
Welcome to the Magnolia STATE
@@kmc1steelers998 Thank you!
Never heard of anyone moving to Mississippi on purpose…especially from Oregon. What an unexpected leap.
@@EMVelez Precisely!! No Oregonians around here.
Thank you!
A great message
I always jump for joy when I see a new video from you. Ilyy ❤
😁😁 Thank you!
HI TIM I LEARNED JUST TAKE THE LEAP AND DO NOT LOOK BACK!!! BECAUSE IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK YOU WILL NEVER GET THERE!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!🙏🏽❤️
Always good to hear from you Elijah!
I fully agree after 10 years of failure here in my current location of Dallas, Tx. I need relocation, and a new scenery myself. It takes courage to do it and I agree with everything your viewpoints
Thank you for this video! I took the leap and was somewhat afraid when I retired early back in September 2023. I now realize that it was one of the best decisions that I made in my life. My courage did come after the fact.
I was getting tired of waiting for a new vid so I replayed the previous one and it must have summoned thee
You’re awesome Tim
It's good for you in the long run to finally hit rock bottom. Great video.
I’m definitely going to Myrtle Beach 🏖️ in late ⏰ July on my own and going to chill at the beach 🏝️
Go for it Praveen!
Thank you I need this Today
When I was in the military I hated it but missed the traveling. Maybe it’s time I get a risky contract job overseas or atleast apply. Everyone is broke and burnt out here anyway 😅
@TimothyWard this video really hit home with me. Born raised and still live in the city of Chicago living paycheck to paycheck I love driving a forklift in a warehouse but I've been dying to live somewhere else because I never have. People are telling me not to I don't really have a lot saved up I'm trying to change my life. This video really helped me man as soon as I get a car I'm just going to go for it thank you so much
You are smart. A lot of people say follow what you dream about but it's not that easy it really is extremely scary. We should be courageous but also be realistic. Plus I literally never hear people talk about how to deal with the fear they just act like it's not even there like it's nothing to it.
Super proud of you bruh you have inspired so many people to let go and live keep God 1st lil bruh and continue the positive vibes!💯
I appreciate you saying that brother. You know you played a big part in setting me on this path in life. Can’t wait to get up with you again soon!
Yep, I’m at the 💯 no more f*cks to give, try or die phase of life. 😆
It’s a great phase! 😁
So, beautiful🙆 ❤️ that leap of faith ✝️👑❤️👑✝️ Thank you Heavenly Father 🙏 God bless you always to you and your family Brother Ward. I could stay by that river and meditate for hours🤗
🙆Confirmation 🙏
it was definitely boredom that kickstarted my jump into a seasonal work lifestyle. three+ years at the same job with no upward mobility, a horrible commute, and hefty rent for a tiny room with roommates. no thanks! the risks never scared me, but i was nervous about leaving my social circle. then i realized they were too busy with their careers and partners to hang out as often as i wanted to, so if i can only see them a couple times a year either way, might as well do what i want in the in-between! and i know that no matter what happens, i will either be okay, or i'll just die doing what i want lmao
You're a wonderful person. Somehow you got some insights from The Source. I have struggling with these thoughts and I know I should be doing the same like you, trying to wake up more people, our brothers, our people human beings. I'm starting my own YT channel but unfortunately it is in Portuguese as I'm Brazilian, so you can't understand. There're others like you in every language, and whoever is good talking, should be doing the same and spreading the word. All honor to people who don't forget the others.
Good luck with your UA-cam channel!
Like Snap, Timothy’s got the power even when things are getting kind of heavy. And if some people think we’re crazy for following our hearts, then we need to be like the singer Seal.
Lee smith miss the YMCA of the Rockies 😢😢😢😢😢😢
"just do it" is what I did. I just made the leap with little to no preparation. Belief and taking steps I think is the correct recipe for making a leap of faith.
thank you very much for this video.
I need to believe and I don't need to have my courage at 150%. Do it scared !
I super appreciate your positive messages. Really kind and helpful.
Hey Tim, I stumbled across your channel today and watched 4 or 5 of your videos.. what you say really resonates with me. Thanks for the uplifting, funny and motivational conversations that I have taken to heart. I am planning an 800-mile road trip to North Carolina as I write and am anxious about driving to be honest. "Do it scared" if you have to, is what you advised and I like that!
Hello Heidi! Welcome to the channel/community! I hope you have a great time on your road trip!
Hey , Tim fund your channel thanks for sharing. My husband passed 6 years ago im single mom with two kiddos and I want to make some big changes and I so relate to the fear aspect of this . but i think regret is worse than taking leaps
I appreciate you!!! Sending much love your way. You have been so encouraging and now here I am in Denali Alaska. Seasonal work is beyond what I had imagined. So grateful!!
It makes me so happy to hear that you are enjoying seasonal work! Have a great summer Holly!
What kind of seasonal work?

It is so refreshing to hear this message co firming back what we ALL must face, in order to grow. Do it die. I must take the leap because I can’t no longer live with the alternative of not trying. Another wasted life! Ty sir
once again the right video at the right time!! I need to quit letting fear take the wheel and hold me back. its okay for fear to be there but she needs to sit all the way in the trunk, underneath stuff lol. thank you for this inspiring video!!! now have to spend the next couple months saving and then will be taking a leap of faith into a new career path. my soul is craving something different and more meaningful and this was the kick in the butt I needed!! thank you!!
Thanks for this video Tim!
You can take action even when you’re afraid! SO TRUE! Love that!
I read the book Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway many years ago… yup, confidence comes after the leap, not before.
I think maybe the key is ALSO having some excitement for the leap. Without it, can get stuck in the fear.
And even before that, it’s knowing WHAT you want to leap to. Right now, I don’t, but I know I wanna leap, and I’m ready.
Thanks for this video. I’m going through some major fears as of late. This helps me so much💪 thank you so much.
Faith without works is dead!
I think the bottom line is to be brutally honest. That's where is the stumbling point where most fall. Fear has to be replaced with faith.
Thank you Tim. I kinda feel like I already knew this, but a lot of the time I need to hear someone else say things so I can believe myself. The part about the atoms makes perfect sense to me. Thank you again Tim. Have a blessed day.
You are so fricken hilarious!! Haha ❤
That’s exactly how I feel into my relationships with my son father
I’ve been scared to open a smoke shop because it’ll take every dollar I have. This is helping lol. Funny it popped into my feed.
People love to smoke. Go got it!
We don't find our courage until we take action while experiencing fear. Sometimes the fear has to be intense enough to motivate us to take action and thus find our courage. By taking action we focus on our goal and the steps we are taking towards the goal which lessens the intensity of the fear... even taking a small step that shows the result we're going for gives us some courage to keep going to the next step and the next and the next. But even to try and fail when failure is what we fear shows us we have the courage to have another go at it and usually with more knowledge and information than before.
Love you brother 🙏🏻
Love you too!
2/3 suitcase Timmy back in his bag! Great video! Content in nature talking life's lessons and adventures...is always the videos that get me most inspired! Thank you my brotha✊🏿 Keep goin....I'm GRATEFUL that I have someone I can relate to with my lifestyle and mindset✌🏿⛰️
