This is incredibly insightful. Now my kids are grown etc. I have no idea where I want my life to go, who I want to become and even what I like to do! Your message speaks to me and is so timely. Much appreciation!
I love that this video reached you at the perfect time Valarie! Use this to rediscover you! The third step I mention, “pursue something” will be a game changer for you! You got this!!
Crying was the LAST thing I thought would happen during this video! When you said the days of neglecting your interests and curiosities ends today my friend, I really felt that and I’ve never even heard you speak prior to this video. This is the first video I’ve come across. “prioritizing our interests is our way of making a committment to our selves” I’m putting this on my fridge
Thank you so much Ron for your ideas, tips, and insights.❤ When I always 12 years old I love to sing and wanted to be a singer. When I was a teenager I wanted to get married and be a mom. Well I got married that didn't work out but I ended up with one child a son whom I love very much. Now I'm taking up reading it's becoming a passion.
Your comments about pursuing something encourages me to share this experience: From the time I was in my late teens, to about 5 years ago, I was always fascinated by Bonsai. I finally too the plunge. I took a Bonsai class, created a Bonsai, did it again the next spring, and the spring after that. At home I looked around my yard for trees that nature had planted, which I could turn into Bonsai. I watched a number of Bonsai UA-cam Channels. I bought some (inexpensive) tools and some supplies, and shopped thrift stores for pots that could be useful. After loosing two plants in two years, and asking myself if I was getting value from my experience with Bonsai, and being honest with myself, I decided that I was no longer willing to put the effort, energy, time, and money into this hobby. After I made that decision, it felt like a weight had been taken off my shoulders. I do not regret giving into my life-long fascination with Bonsai, because I now know the pleasure of Bonsai, as well as the pain. This just was not "right" for me, and I had to let it go. Thanks you for sharing all you share. Peace.
This video is something I didn't know I needed until now. It really is difficult sometimes to not live on autopilot... Also, I love what you said about fun and how it doesn't have to stop in adulthood. I guess this means it's all just part of a balancing act. Thank you for this video, Ronald!
I had this video in my watch later playlist. I have been on this year+ long journey of healing and recovery due to things in my past. I'm a people pleaser and will easily sacrifice my well-being for others wants and I have been growing in that area to do better for myself. The biggest thing I've come to find is the pressure I put on myself to stay along this unfulfilling path of doing things I find out that I don't like from my father's pressure of finishing what I started. I've found this specifically in the major that I am taking/schools that I go to, and more. My mother is also somewhat in the same boat of influence but in other areas of my life. I know deep down inside that there is something greater for me despite the emptiness and just plain confusion I have been dealing with for the past years. I am truly blessed to have listened to this video. Because even though it didn't cure my issues, it laid out a decisive plan for what to do next. And quite frankly, to face my fears of being who I truly want to be despite what the world, society, and what my family thinks. Because at the end of the day if I lose, I gain experience, and if I win all everyone would say is congratulations and I knew you could do it. Thank you, Mr. Banks, and I hope and pray blessings upon your life and everyone else who is in my same position.
Hi! I’m really glad I found your channel. You have such a nice delivery style. I look forward to seeing more from you. Will be diving into your core values worksheet and decluttering advice. I graduate from college this Sunday, and my life is not yet my own! Looking at my life with fresh eyes now. 😅
First off… CONGRATULATIONS!! 🎉 Proud of you Elizabeth! Now is definitely a great time to reset. I graduated college in 2015 and I started my decluttering journey in 2016. So I was in your shoes once upon a time. Hey if you ever have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. I want to grow with you on this journey!
This is so good. Reinvention has been ringing in my brain for a while. I even just made a tik tok about it. This provided a lot of great prompts and things to think about.
OMG , i need to write down on paper that the fun doesn't stop when you are an adult and I should stick it to my forehead 😉 it felt like you slaped me on the face when you said it 😢 but in a good way . Thank you 🙏
Being an adult Is a trap. While I always wanted to be in law enforcement the fun factor quickly faded as I slowly aged. Some people adult too hard and those years of wide eyed wonderment go out the window. I try to wake up with appreciation like the first time I stayed up all night just to watch the sunrise or create new experiences. The key is learning even in microdoses so that way life will be constantly fulfilling.
Watching you is always an inspiration. Hearing your words, even when it’s hard to admit them to myself, is a dose of wisdom packaged perfectly. Thank you.
✋🏾I love listening to you! You are so articulate with your words and knowledge. I feel like I'm listening to an audiobook every time I watch your videos! Love this! Keep up the great work👊🏾I'm waiting for you to become an author 🙌🏾

Just pick something and pursuing it ❤ whew 😥 I needed this down to earth conversation. So much is in the air right now.
I am currently working on reconnecting with myself this summer (teacher)! 🍓
You totally got this Brie! Yes take this break away from the kids at the school to reconnect with you!
