      Agree sir, I show Als videos to people, who only find excuses for how not to succeed. Al is a hard working honest down to earth young man who made it in his field. It does not matter who you are and what your background is, if you don't fear to sweat and work rather than slack, you can and will make it. People like Al deserve to get everything they wish for from life.

You are a good and kind person, which is more and more rare these days it seems. Don't be so hard on yourself. I too suffer from anxiety, there are many of us out there. And there are a lot of reasons to feel anxious in today's world. Take it easy, you are loved, valued and respected.

You will get better.
    Just take care of yourself and don't force yourself to do anything that you don't feel like doing.

    Mr Al, never put yourself down my friend. It takes a smart man to be as successful as you are. You have a wonderful family, awesome home, very successful small business and multiple successful UA-cam channels. A high school diploma doesn't make you as successful as you are, you do that. You're also honest and you give back more than most people ever do. I am a 66 yr old veteran, retired small business owner and I admire you very much. I used to spend winter in my RV in Fort Pierce, I used to get my favorite cuban coffee and Cuban breakfast sandwich at Mervis Cafe. PS, I quit school in 10th grade, I was very successful in business and I'm a pilot....... I suffer from PTSD which also creates extreme anxiety, in the last 5 months I've had skin cancer surgery, thyroid cancer surgery, 8 weeks of covid and three weeks ago I got real lucky and beat the widow maker, I had an open heart surgery double bypass. Today I'm back driving....... You're doing just fine young man!!!!!! Love your channels.

    Al, please take care of yourself and family. You are a man of integrity with the biggest heart. Keep doing what you’re doing. I call you Rembrandt Al. You paint beautiful pictures with your weed eater. You are the best I’ve seen on UA-cam with it. Others just swipe with theirs, but you,,, you paint. So, keep doing it Rembrandt Al.😊

    Al. I literally was crying. So many people care about you. You come into our lives daily. And it is though we know you. I was concerned about you. And I can relate to everything you were saying. Thank you for being so transparent with us. I deal with anxiety myself. And until someone goes through it, they don't know how it is. You NEED to take as much time as you need. You're only human. Love you and your family.

    First, you're amazing! You are such a hard working man, who is making your family proud, I'm sure of it! Second, you are so creative and unique and it's because of those things that you have a following!
    I'm sure a lot of us, including myself, have had anxiety and depression, so you are normal, for sure! I understand how debilitating those things can be, so here is my two cents, take it or leave it, because I put pressure on myself as well and I've learned a few things along my journey that I hope you find helpful:
    Have a back up plan for times like these when you have an illness or your anxiety hits. Example: prerecord some UA-cam content and either keep it as back up or you can just always have something releasing as you are taping, so you have a flow of content streaming even if you have a bad day.
    Give yourself some grace! No one is perfect, no one expects perfection and just know that your own self criticism is not even on our radar! People are just looking to escape their own boring worlds, learn something new to them or wind down from stress at work or home.
    Did you know that success isn't about failure? Success is about not letting failure stop you! And you're already doing that! You haven't let a bad week turn into a bad month or a bad year or a bad decade. You decided to get back at it and keep going! That makes you a success!
    People will love you for your honesty and transparency! That will give your channel a boost, because people will see you're human and still getting the job done, which will inspire them to do the same thing, And because people admire you, they will want to get to know you. You've got this!
    If I can overcome losing my mom 27 years ago, beating cancer twice, losing my baby brother 2 years ago to an accidental fentanyl overdose and losing my dad November 7th, this year, 2 years and a week after losing my brother, then you can overcome anything as well! You have a strong character and no matter what comes your way, you will get through it too! Have faith!
    God bless you and your family and thank you for all you do!

You work smart and hard Al, you don't have to finish everything you start. Give yourself permission to not be perfect and to schedule something and then planned and on purpose don't do it. Let it go. Take a breath and just breathe. Great house and family Al, your living the dream and try to remember that. Your wife is the heart of your house and wherever she is is where your house is and your children are. Four walls and a roof is just shelter. Concentrate on that and you will be okay.

    You say you're not smart because you didn't graduate from high school but I know a lot of people who graduated from college and is still dumb as hell. Point is , you can take your negative and turn it into positive. Go to night school and get your diploma. Be proud of what you have accomplished in life. You have your own business, you're own beautiful home, a beautiful family. Most people only dream of having what you have. You're blessed Al and I thank God for you. And I pray for healing over your entire body.🙏 Stay well !!

I later learned that a friend of mine would close his office door and the anxiety would overwhelm him and bring him literally to his knees in his office. You never know what someone else is going through. Love and respect Al.

It’s OK to put things out there about yourself because it makes you look more human and there’s a lot of people that are like this and you’re showing these people that it’s OK when you go through Different period. If’s your life and it’s nothing to be ashamed of, I know depression and anxiety runs in my family and I know I get it at times and I have to fight it and make myself get out of it. I do most of the time, so keep up the good work and take care of your health because that’s more important than anything. Say your prayers to God and he’ll be there for you he’ll hear them, and he’ll be there for you. Peace to you and your family and have a great holiday.

    Hi Al this is the first time I am watching this channel normally I watch your other one with all the amazing work that you do on helping others and working on their yards.
    I myself do not suffer from anxiety so I can't imagine what you go through however I will say you shouldn't stress out as much as you do because it will affect your health in the long run .
    I've seen it happen to many people think of these words (you are your own boss do not feel pressured. Take a deep breath and relax enjoy life and take the time to enjoy your family more often), through experience I have learned that if you don't take the time you will wonder where it went when it comes to family
    I find that to be helpful for me
    I know you feel it's important to make goals and keep them but as you get older you begin to realize that some of those goals aren't necessary in life.
    I feel that you are in a place where you can relax more , less stress on yourself love yourself show us that happy individual who loves life and his family and I'm not sure but it also seems like you are the type of man that believes in God so trusts in God and if that's the case you know he'll be there for you when you need him the most so let him handle the stressful part of your life, you just worry about taking care of you and your family and if you don't feel like doing something then don't. It'll get taken care of eventually.
    Take it one day at a time.
    You need to meditate on it and let it go and let God take over 😊👼🙏🫂💖💋 I know that's not easy to do because you are overwhelmed and feel that you have to do everything on your own. But I trust that the good Lord will be looking over you and your family and hopefully help you overcome or at least manage the stress better. 😁
    Reflect more on what you have accomplished in life take a deep breath And don't dwell in your past.
    That is the advice I want to share with you 💜
