Dewayne, I'm 10 years your senior. I had my dream of owning my own land in the late 1970's. I didn't get there until 2003, it took all that I had and was only the bare bones of it all. I love trees, they are my life so I planted woodland. I have firewood and building wood now. I experiment with natural build ideas, and now the media is getting interested. And I'm STILL moving the goalposts! Chase the dream 👍
@@asmr-shadow-writerWho said I'm strong, friend? I just realised after an NDE awaking that it's better to live a harder, shorter but ultimately REAL life, than remain tied to our increasing dystopia. Look to your belief system for support, then charge towards your dream's reality.
My dads 50 and you remind me of him, I don’t ever comment much cuz I feel it’s a waste of time, but I love your content, I’m always here quietly watching and listening. Right now I’m beyond sick but your words quell my pukey pain, makes me feel peace within all my anguish.
Nah it's not a waste of time. People see the comment sometimes. Your sense of humor added a chuckle to my life. In a small way, you've brighten up my existence.
@@BigGirthyJohnson I actually really appreciate this, growing up in the tech age it’s taught people of my age (20) that if you’re not out there you don’t exist. I saw some philosophy on that subject, we’ve been enveloped in the “if I’m not heard I don’t exist” ideology. Which is such a massive problem for children nowadays.
@@NightShadeLD13-101I'm 50 and never cared about being popular or followers or getting 24/7 validation or lots of friends and attention 😂! All that is annoying and dumb
@@NoWayBreow fantastic, I actually didn’t know where this came from. I’ve been working my ass off to change my life around. I’m a writer now and have a fiancé. I’m actually currently writing a paper on gas lighting and other toxic behaviors of people just for fun, I will probably publish it somewhere if I can. It would make my first published paper on any subject.
So thankful for your wisdom and amazing ability to tell your stories. To articulate. Truly blessed to have found your channel. Keep it going! God bless and happy Easter!
Such words of wisdom! He is 1000% right!! I had dreams and was living it for a while, but things change for the worse sometimes. Now i just exist daily, it seems like with no purpose. I've been married for over 31 years, and now it's not working out. We both have changed into 2 different people, which i feel do not belong together anymore. I dont have a loving family at all. My best love is my Chihuahua. He is definitely God sent. He's the one keeping me here. I just want to live whatever time i have left in peace, that's all. I learned that life doesn't turn out like one has hoped. 😢
"Die on the Road..." Timeless advice, Thanks Dwayne These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. Hebrews
I truly believe succeeding is not about motivation, discipline, or patience. It's all about mental toughness and mental stability. All of those traits are fleeting and mean nothing if your mind isn't strong and healthy enough to overcome every obstacle you encounter along the way. Great talk Sir!
This is such an encouragement and almost like a revival for me at a time when I'm really at the lowest and have lost sight of my own dreams and hopes. Thanks for reminding
I used to do renovation work & I use to lament to an older friend of mines how labour intensive it was. Then he said it’s the sense of accomplishment you get from looking at ur work knowing that you did this job.
Thanks, Dwayne. Amazing talk. I needed to hear that, in the way you have structured it. Love your work. Please, keep it up. That was a TED Talk speech, man.
Really good life advice. Something I've seen is people's marital status changes or they have kids, and feel the dreams have to go out the window. Part of the issue is we are trained in public school to be a pawn on some chessboard we aren't controlling, and it's all in the realm of we have to think outside the box that was painted around us, and shoot... if one's family status changes, incorporate that into the dreams you have or things you enjoy doing. If you have kids, teach them about it and let them be part of it too. If they take interest in it, you'll have extra encouragement and reason to keep heading toward whatever the goal is. Far as "what ifs...", we don't know what tomorrow's got in store, we can't be fretting over tragedies, no matter how imminent or obscure they may be... just do what we can while we can and don't quit until we are on the other side of life.
Happy Easter, Dwayne! Greetings from NYC I am moved to share with you my appreciation. I have come to truly value your insights. You are one of the few authentic sources of real wisdom here on UA-cam; a place where everyone wants to say something, but few have something to say. I am better for having found you. You sir are a great American. Many thanks for what you do... for sharing, and for being you.
I thoroughly enjoy watching every video you make- I can personally relate to almost all you talk about- when you said - Die on the road- very powerful words to live by- thank you - glad to hear that you arrived in Wyoming
I am 29 and have hit rock bottom 4 times in my life, they helped me. Found my purpose and never looked back, my dream gives me energy in the morning when my alarm sounds. It keeps me pushing every day.
Hi Dwayne! Thank you for your insight. I’m only 24, but at times I feel like the circumstances in the world hold me back from achieving my goals so I become desperate as if I’m never gonna get there. Also some people try to make you afraid of your dreams or doubt them (even when there intentions are good, for example my relatives hope that I won’t return to my home country because of some financial/safety reasons, even though I don’t like living abroad and miss my country). We all need to understand that sometimes we or our surroundings have limiting beliefs and it doesn’t mean that these thoughts are reflections of reality. These are JUST thoughts. We ourselves create our own reality by our choices and actions. So stay true to yourself and never let anyone ruin your vision. Good luck everyone!
1. Dwayne , thank you for this . 2. To anyone battling addiction , you CAN kick the habit . I’m living proof by the grace of God. 3. This message is essential to my life . Have a blessed one 🙏🏼💯💜
Mr Dewayne your a excellent teacher I do appreciate your preparation for the place your now in to help others. I see a example of a Discipline life.the student is Ready now the teacher appears.
You speak way better than any motivational speaker ever had to me. Thank you so much for your down-to-earth, realistic talk sir!! Please please please don't stop, I reckon you are helping so many people like myself.
When I feel empty I read the Word and Jesus Christ fills me back up. The best way to cure boredom is to volunteer your time and help others. My Dream is to Cycle around the world and the Solo Sail a boat back home. It's a reality, not a pipe dream but Life Altering to say the least. GOD willing all things are possible. Agape and Phileo, Shalom and Selah.
Commented on a short wondering who he was I’m so glad I found his channel so wise and calm man somebody I would say I gladly sit all night and talk have a beer with maybe a cigar and just listen to him give off wisdom
"Die on the road " Thank you Sir You are the Grandfather and Father that I no longer have to motivate me and kick me in the ass when I need it. You are a true blessing. Happy Easter to you and your family.
Woooowwww!!! What a video!! Uffff this video has to go viral!! Thank you so much!! Wein!! This would help a lot of folks screaming for help!! I was one of those!! Thank you again!! Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷!!
Thank you I am watching this now, but it's so timely. Such great advice. I have a dream and yes it feels unabtainable at times, but this has helped me to know I can still do it. I don't want to get to the end of my life and say I had a dream I never pushed toward. 😊
Thank you for the video! 11:00 this is so true. There are so many motivational videos out there. It makes people addicted to them to be motivated to accomplish anything. And 99% of the time they get the feeling after watching them but at the end of the day nothing is done... It has to start from within us.
I ask my three young children, "what is discipline?" They each respond appropriately with, "doing what you need to do, even if you don't want to do it."
You need peace in your heart. My life is very difficult living with a son who has a lot of mental health issues. But I am living in a place that is my dream. I live on a river, in a nature reserve. I have 2 beautiful dogs. I’m in nature all day. It’s healing me everyday. My son is ill. But I take each moment and day with an attitude of gratefulness. It’s not perfect, no one’s life is. But be grateful and keep it simple. Love the people you meet. Treasure your friends. And don’t have expectations from anyone. Despite the problems that arise all the time. I breath and walk the dogs and take in nature and I feel at peace. X
I'm watching this on Easter smoking a padron 1964. Great cigar. I've been chasing my dream of being a master Smith every Saturday. Hopefully next year I'll recieve my journeyman Smith training at the Atlanta blade show. I have a long way to go but I'll never give up. It's a late start at 44 but I'm chasing the dream.
My wife and I both quit our professional, high-paying day jobs 35 years ago and set out on a new adventure; something we knew nothing about except the technical aspects. We started our own business. We were both in our late 30’s with 2 young kids! Would you believe that everyone thought we were crazy! But the thing that brought us together, how we met, and that was our true passion took hold of us. So we set out to build a martial arts business and believe me it was crazy tough. But we kept at it through the highs and the very lows (hurt and divorce actually came up at one point-luckily we overcame that). We now have a highly successful school and as with you, we have helped raise so many successful kids and changed so many adults lives through martial arts training. We also have bought and own our own building, a dream we had for 30 years. We are both 67 and people ask us when we are gonna retire. I tell them we retired 35 years ago! We’ll teach till we die!…because we want to fulfill our dream. Love your talks. I’m an avid listener and I share your wisdom with my students. P s La Aurora is made by the Fuentes! By the way, I live in Maryland but I’m Kentucky born & bred!
yes, that's the key to happiness, just pursue your dreams... even if you don't achieve it, you'll still be satisfied while pursuing it. life will pass anyway, so why not live it with the purpose you want
Hey Dwayne, today i just turned 24 years old, i was never told by anyone like you to never give up, my father wasnt there much involved just working for no purpose other than to raise a dysfunctional family i was never belonged in or let to have my own dream or help me find it or how to even for some purpose to still look or search for a reason to keep living , i didn't want to be miserable forever and old like him and others my body worn down being in a tired depressing state as a car assembly line worker and live a uneventful unfulfilling life doing nothing like he has. I have a dream(s) now... it makes me happy to see this finally and my purpose to make out of this one life i get, this one thing we all experience called life, i want to become a professional welder even underwater welding which although i know skilled trades are tough on my body phsyically and especially how dangerous the risks are to my health so its a tough thing to consider if i want to do this but its big enough i believe i can do it, i can learn to weld and dive i also want to teach and be a motorcycle safety instructor or welding teacher, help bring awareness i enjoy working on cars and motorcycles, i have lots of interests in many things so its hard to just decide on something for a career to make out of it but if you love what you do you wont work a day in your life. if you havent tried something before how can you know if you are good at it or not but i struggled with this for awhile i also found i love teaching i want to be a teacher or mentor and encourage others who struggle with mental health and what stops them from rolling out of bed i wish i had something i can teach people that are in my position now and before i never had someone to teach me the things in life i needed so thank you for coming into mine and helping me when i need to ask or seek help i cant figure everything out on my own life like my fathers unrealistic expectations of me of doing what he wants me to on my own. so that part of college and school being at certain points of life everyone is going at a different course and pace down the path of life, your swimming in the river flow with it dont swim back up against it . dont fight life be patient. i don't want to die im scared of the future. that part dying on the road going towards my dream hit hard. this hit very hard . Im having some sort of purpose now to be here, to feel less afraid with accepting death someday for me. i feel behind like lots people seem to get wrapped up in thinking and comparing their life to someone elses. only focus on yours. thank you again Dwayne. sorry for poor grammar i throw my thoughts together around real quick haha
brilliant, I love this. I've been to hights and lows in life, booted from home at 16, stumbled and fumbled around 3 different states with no direction. battled with addictions, I've owned a successful business, lost a business, battled again. back again after finding God and realised a new goal for my Autistic son to have a future after I'm gone. FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION
Thank you Dwayne I appreciate your honesty and wisdom, I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and it’s helped me look at certain things in life differently. You are correct, man needs purpose I was in addiction for years I’m 35 I was a tradesman and done my back in so I retrained to do barbering and now that’s even too painful so now I’m going to go back to night school and train to do counselling God willing to help others that are in situations that I have come through. God Bless you and your family brother, see you in glory. ‘If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others.’ -Oswald Chamber’s
Goosebumps, Dewayne! The end sends goose bumps.... Soooo glad to see that you are safe at your new home! and also sooo glad that I caught your 'momma' for a booking right before you all took off from Tennessee! Wishing you all peace, joy - a blessed Easter and a very Happy Birthday (if we don't hear from you before🙂.
I want to say this is the truth I'm a 38 yr old chef and I'm working at a bar and grill feeling stuck here but just realized My dream to own my own food truck or restaurant is still reachable. Thank you sir for showing me my way
Saving up for a house up here in Maine right now - my dream is to just have a little piece of land and be able to do whatever I want on it. Been living in apartments my whole life, I'm from Chicago so I've never had a moment of peace. Working at the grocery store as an evening manager, saving every bit i possibly can and this video was exactly what i needed in my path to growth and prosperity. Thank you friend.
That was a beautiful ending of your teaching - - ->> " If You Stop Having Fun; You Stopped Living." All these wisdom you showed in all your presentations; Is only for those who practice them in their lives. And there are just a hand full of them out there, who have the courage to take the first step. Thank you sir; For another enlighten view how to enjoy life.
I am happy for you and your family's success, and I hope your school has an excellent year! As for my dream: just to be a good man. It's simple. It sure ain't easy, though. It might just be the hardest thing a man can do. But after a lot of time, effort, mistakes, self-discovery, soul-searching, reading, learning, exploring, etc., that's the one thing that I want most out of my life. It always comes back to me, no matter how long I am distracted by base and silly things. It may take all my life to achieve this dream. But if I can say that in the moment before I die that I have lived a truly good life - a life in which I have rarely brought shame to my soul, and have, for the most part, lived to the greatest potential of man - then that's good enough for me. I can die fulfilled. Thank you for your time and wisdom.
Helps me a lot to listen to you. So I got married many years ago had horses. Was born with horses always thought I would have horses. So when we got married the wife said you got 2 Choices we can buy the farm or we have children what little did I know that children will cost as much as the farm. We had one child that was born premature. So had to sell the horses couldn't afford no more, but I kept my saddle cause I believe in the dream. Long story short , Started a little leather company on the side. That keeps me in close contact with the smells and the sound. The hope one day would be that it'll take off and help to add to the financial gain to be able to get the property to have the horses again. And you want it so bad but you gotta celebrate the little victories along the way. But I gotta tell you I appreciate you because my stepdad had passed many years ago and he was my go to guy to just talk. I know I can certainly listen to you. Thank you From bottom my heart
been listening to your videos whenever I'm on the road and my God. It's like being on the road with my grandpa just teaching me life lessons the whole way. Thank you for all that you do.
Wow..I worked at the padlock ranch right down the road from ya in Dayton Wyoming..popular 496 on the sign n 1978...awesome surroundings..congratulations!!!
Hello!! Been watching your videos subscribed to your Chanel.I haven't commented but now I am,Im knocking on 70 I feel like you and I have gone down the same roads?! Like your words of wisdom!! Im a cancer survivor thanks to my good lord!!! Well sir just letting u know from one old cowhand in texas to you keep up your videos going !!! God bless you and your family Happy Easter!!!🙏🙏I will keep in touch!!!
In this world we all have a place In this world we all have our space We all are a part of the human race Whatever the case reserve a place Embrace all the dreams we all chase
This is something I took for granted for a long time; just living the drudgery of life with escapism into unhealthy habits. Then one day on my way to work, in the job I hated, about 12 years ago, when I was just approaching 40, the question " what the hell am I doing with my life" blurted out of my mouth just before I stepped into the office. I was stunned. I still haven't found my way, because I was lost for a long time, trying different things. I left the job a year later and haven't been able to step into a permanent job since. Just agency work which has paid me as much or sometimes better than the previous job; and offers me more flexibility, while I try to figure stuff out. Currently learning a tech skill with the aim of getting a semi-decent wage in order to get myself out of the accommodation rut I'm in while living in the capital city, where the cost of living is starting to punish people. I had no concept of this earlier than 40, because, I think I was just walking around in a mind fog. I was also in a cult most of my adult life, one which focused on getting ready for some future promise fulfilment and dissuaded fixing your current life, and especially pursuing dreams.
You have what I would call a wonderful life I love the outdoors always have unfortunately at 53 I haven't found that dream of working in the outdoors like you get to one day
HalleluYAH brother DeWayne! I will return to walking on that road, long put aside, I will sail the 7 seas, or die in that road trying to reach my dream.
"I don't feel fulfilled." Have kids. Seriously. I am crazy ambituous and managed to hit a lot of my goals in life. They felt well for a few months but then it was back to the grind. I had a kid and I finally feel content. It's like I could just cruise like this until I'm old now, I don't need anything else.
If this is the "short" video damn I'm wanting to listen to it again. I let you play well talk from my pocket while I work. And I enjoy and embrace alot of the word you speak to us. You have alot of great knowledge thats getting documented for the younger generation to see. I appreciate and applaud your videos and words.
Dewayne always knows the perfect time to go for a puff of that cigar. He times his talking points really good. Huge fan Dewayne, congratulations on completing the trip!
There is also the philosophy of the mastery approach. You find your calling, pursue it with passion, and believe growth is unlimited. You are open to about anything along the way. You are always looking for new opportunities and see a purpose in a majority of things. Goals and dreams can be limiting. That's a lesson I've learned. I respect your perspective and I believe goals and dreams are important. Especially in our younger years when it's more about success and accomplishment vs. fulfillment and significance.
You're an awfully wise man Dwayne. To be honest I've heard l always struggled with finding a purpose in life. Never really had much of a dream to chase. I think my dream has become living my life like this man. I really feel like a connection to the land and beauty of nature is needed for almost everyone. Time to stop stalling and make it happen
Dwayne, you are a wealth of knowledge. Please keep encouraging and providing a disease to this lost world. We need more people with attitudes like your's. God bless you brother
I cant lie man i never had much of a dream but after coming across brother Dewayne he help me make those foggy waters in my mind a lil more clear sure i have work to do as we all do but man his wisdom and encouragement helped me so much atleast i know what type of elder man i want to be now i look up to bro
Hopelessness rarely comes in the " live your entire life " size as it seems to weed out those that get that as their selection. The key is to be able to see even the slimmest , thinnest , barely there amount of hope. A refocusing of whats actually in front of you may help some. Here is hoping either way.
Great video Dwayne thank you . I can relate. I got sidetracked from my dream for seven years. Felt trapped and no way out. Stuck in a job I could not stand ! then I saw an opportunity and it got me out. I was finally free doing something I like. I could do things towards my dream again and it was a silver lining I had to go through it ! I’ve had many stumbling blocks on the way. But now I’m back on the horse. In a matter of speaking I’m not a horse guy . Although I did ride when I was very young had an uncle out in Washington state had a ranch. Love horses. Any way You can’t give up & when you’re moving shit gets in your way. Keep going no matter what that’s my motto. I’m 58 not there yet, so I die on the road. At least I tried. Thats my plan Stan. It’s been 22 years chasing that dream I’ll never give up, God bless happy Easter Dwayne . Mark from NY State . ✌️22:23
Great to hear that ya'll arrived in Wyoming! Along with your life encouragement and what you're smoking, might you also have short snippets of horse tips (or similar) that you can share? Best of luck as you and the wife get settled and ready for your first class. Blessings!
Your message here made me think of Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. Specifically the line “May you find your Tower, Roland, and breach it, and may you climb to the top!”. Any DT fans here? Highly recommend this series. Through 7 insane books we follow the gunslinger, Roland, on a seemingly endless and hopeless mission to find the Dark Tower, defeat the Crimson King, and save the Universe; a dark western fantasy that only King could write. We all have our own Tower that we need to find, climb, and conquer; or, as you said, die on the road.
I may have stopped watching regularly since I was missing the unpolitical and un-moralistic advice I loved about the first video I watched from DCWS ... the "When should you have it all together" - Video. But boy, am I glad to have clicked on this encouragement! It actually represents the valuable quality of well formulated advice coming from a realm of experience very different from my own. Thanks Dewayne!
I love your videos man! Keep an eye out for me, I am recording some music with folks from Nashville, and I'd love for you to hear it! I appreciate your wholesome advice!
This man is a world treasure! This man is worth listening to!
True💯

Yea brother you can tell he reached peace in life and is fully in touch with his self. Self mastery.
Thanks Dwayne... my father havent spoke with me like this till day...
@@Chella12-d1k that’s ok. If or when you become a father, learn from your fathers mistakes and be the dad you know you needed. 👍🏻
my favorite line was "Die on the Road..." very well said
It's such a deep message, that even his voice becomes deeper!
Dewayne, I'm 10 years your senior. I had my dream of owning my own land in the late 1970's. I didn't get there until 2003, it took all that I had and was only the bare bones of it all. I love trees, they are my life so I planted woodland. I have firewood and building wood now. I experiment with natural build ideas, and now the media is getting interested. And I'm STILL moving the goalposts! Chase the dream 👍
I'd like to be as strong as you are to make my dream come true!😪
@@asmr-shadow-writerWho said I'm strong, friend? I just realised after an NDE awaking that it's better to live a harder, shorter but ultimately REAL life, than remain tied to our increasing dystopia. Look to your belief system for support, then charge towards your dream's reality.
Even the ash from the cigar refuses to leave,listening to this man.
I'm 75 years and I still have dreams and I'm not going to give up 👆
In the event you don’t make it to achieving your dream, “Die on the road”. Powerful!
God damn... The father figure we all wish we had, and the patience we never knew that we needed. You are an absolute treasure, Sir.

I like the distinction you made between “dreams” and “fantasies “. It’s very helpful to see the difference
"Die on the Road..."
Timeless advice, Thanks Dwayne
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. Hebrews
I truly believe succeeding is not about motivation, discipline, or patience. It's all about mental toughness and mental stability. All of those traits are fleeting and mean nothing if your mind isn't strong and healthy enough to overcome every obstacle you encounter along the way. Great talk Sir!
This is such an encouragement and almost like a revival for me at a time when I'm really at the lowest and have lost sight of my own dreams and hopes. Thanks for reminding
I used to do renovation work & I use to lament to an older friend of mines how labour intensive it was. Then he said it’s the sense of accomplishment you get from looking at ur work knowing that you did this job.
Thanks, Dwayne. Amazing talk. I needed to hear that, in the way you have structured it. Love your work. Please, keep it up.
That was a TED Talk speech, man.
Really good life advice. Something I've seen is people's marital status changes or they have kids, and feel the dreams have to go out the window. Part of the issue is we are trained in public school to be a pawn on some chessboard we aren't controlling, and it's all in the realm of we have to think outside the box that was painted around us, and shoot... if one's family status changes, incorporate that into the dreams you have or things you enjoy doing. If you have kids, teach them about it and let them be part of it too. If they take interest in it, you'll have extra encouragement and reason to keep heading toward whatever the goal is. Far as "what ifs...", we don't know what tomorrow's got in store, we can't be fretting over tragedies, no matter how imminent or obscure they may be... just do what we can while we can and don't quit until we are on the other side of life.
Happy Easter, Dwayne!

Thank you Duane you and mama. Have a blessed weekend.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Well said. In fact, people don’t know but many well known figures in history achieved success only in their 60s, 70s, and even 80s.
You speak way better than any motivational speaker ever had to me. Thank you so much for your down-to-earth, realistic talk sir!! Please please please don't stop, I reckon you are helping so many people like myself.
When I feel empty I read the Word and Jesus Christ fills me back up. The best way to cure boredom is to volunteer your time and help others. My Dream is to Cycle around the world and the Solo Sail a boat back home. It's a reality, not a pipe dream but Life Altering to say the least. GOD willing all things are possible. Agape and Phileo, Shalom and Selah.
Thanks for being real about this.Its so true to the core.Really appreciated.
Congratulations sir ,from the UK. You have been a great help to me and mine, and I truly thankyou for that.
I love your videos. You have such a strong & calm demeanor.
Thanks DeWayne ! I actually needed this today !
You give such solid advice. I find it also comforting! Thank you for sharing your thoughts 🫶🏼
Commented on a short wondering who he was I’m so glad I found his channel so wise and calm man somebody I would say I gladly sit all night and talk have a beer with maybe a cigar and just listen to him give off wisdom
Thank you so much for the encouragement and God bless you, Dewayne!
"Die on the road "
Thank you Sir
You are the Grandfather and Father that I no longer have to motivate me and kick me in the ass when I need it.
You are a true blessing.
Happy Easter to you and your family.
Woooowwww!!! What a video!! Uffff this video has to go viral!! Thank you so much!! Wein!! This would help a lot of folks screaming for help!! I was one of those!! Thank you again!! Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷!!
Thank you I am watching this now, but it's so timely. Such great advice. I have a dream and yes it feels unabtainable at times, but this has helped me to know I can still do it. I don't want to get to the end of my life and say I had a dream I never pushed toward. 😊
Thank you man!!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
You don't even imagine how you help us, you are amazing thank you so much.
Thank you for the video!
11:00 this is so true. There are so many motivational videos out there. It makes people addicted to them to be motivated to accomplish anything. And 99% of the time they get the feeling after watching them but at the end of the day nothing is done...
It has to start from within us.
This dude is gonna be the best grandpa
I ask my three young children, "what is discipline?" They each respond appropriately with, "doing what you need to do, even if you don't want to do it."
Afternoon, from Florida. Here for knowledge and perspective. I'm 53 and trying to understand. Thank you.
Enjoy listening to you. I love the way you relate things and explain.to me you are awesome.
You need peace in your heart. My life is very difficult living with a son who has a lot of mental health issues. But I am living in a place that is my dream. I live on a river, in a nature reserve. I have 2 beautiful dogs. I’m in nature all day. It’s healing me everyday. My son is ill. But I take each moment and day with an attitude of gratefulness. It’s not perfect, no one’s life is. But be grateful and keep it simple. Love the people you meet. Treasure your friends. And don’t have expectations from anyone. Despite the problems that arise all the time. I breath and walk the dogs and take in nature and I feel at peace. X
This video is packed with wisdom.
I love it all
❤❤️❤️
I'm watching this on Easter smoking a padron 1964. Great cigar. I've been chasing my dream of being a master Smith every Saturday. Hopefully next year I'll recieve my journeyman Smith training at the Atlanta blade show. I have a long way to go but I'll never give up. It's a late start at 44 but I'm chasing the dream.
I’ve been falling behind on my dreams. I needed this
My wife and I both quit our professional, high-paying day jobs 35 years ago and set out on a new adventure; something we knew nothing about except the technical aspects. We started our own business. We were both in our late 30’s with 2 young kids! Would you believe that everyone thought we were crazy! But the thing that brought us together, how we met, and that was our true passion took hold of us. So we set out to build a martial arts business and believe me it was crazy tough. But we kept at it through the highs and the very lows (hurt and divorce actually came up at one point-luckily we overcame that). We now have a highly successful school and as with you, we have helped raise so many successful kids and changed so many adults lives through martial arts training. We also have bought and own our own building, a dream we had for 30 years. We are both 67 and people ask us when we are gonna retire. I tell them we retired 35 years ago! We’ll teach till we die!…because we want to fulfill our dream. Love your talks. I’m an avid listener and I share your wisdom with my students. P s La Aurora is made by the Fuentes!
By the way, I live in Maryland but I’m Kentucky born & bred!
yes, that's the key to happiness, just pursue your dreams... even if you don't achieve it, you'll still be satisfied while pursuing it. life will pass anyway, so why not live it with the purpose you want
Hey Dwayne, today i just turned 24 years old, i was never told by anyone like you to never give up, my father wasnt there much involved just working for no purpose other than to raise a dysfunctional family i was never belonged in or let to have my own dream or help me find it or how to even for some purpose to still look or search for a reason to keep living , i didn't want to be miserable forever and old like him and others my body worn down being in a tired depressing state as a car assembly line worker and live a uneventful unfulfilling life doing nothing like he has. I have a dream(s) now... it makes me happy to see this finally and my purpose to make out of this one life i get, this one thing we all experience called life, i want to become a professional welder even underwater welding which although i know skilled trades are tough on my body phsyically and especially how dangerous the risks are to my health so its a tough thing to consider if i want to do this but its big enough i believe i can do it, i can learn to weld and dive i also want to teach and be a motorcycle safety instructor or welding teacher, help bring awareness i enjoy working on cars and motorcycles, i have lots of interests in many things so its hard to just decide on something for a career to make out of it but if you love what you do you wont work a day in your life. if you havent tried something before how can you know if you are good at it or not but i struggled with this for awhile i also found i love teaching i want to be a teacher or mentor and encourage others who struggle with mental health and what stops them from rolling out of bed i wish i had something i can teach people that are in my position now and before i never had someone to teach me the things in life i needed so thank you for coming into mine and helping me when i need to ask or seek help i cant figure everything out on my own life like my fathers unrealistic expectations of me of doing what he wants me to on my own. so that part of college and school being at certain points of life everyone is going at a different course and pace down the path of life, your swimming in the river flow with it dont swim back up against it . dont fight life be patient. i don't want to die im scared of the future. that part dying on the road going towards my dream hit hard. this hit very hard . Im having some sort of purpose now to be here, to feel less afraid with accepting death someday for me. i feel behind like lots people seem to get wrapped up in thinking and comparing their life to someone elses. only focus on yours. thank you again Dwayne. sorry for poor grammar i throw my thoughts together around real quick haha
brilliant, I love this. I've been to hights and lows in life, booted from home at 16, stumbled and fumbled around 3 different states with no direction. battled with addictions, I've owned a successful business, lost a business, battled again. back again after finding God and realised a new goal for my Autistic son to have a future after I'm gone. FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION
Thank you Dwayne I appreciate your honesty and wisdom, I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and it’s helped me look at certain things in life differently. You are correct, man needs purpose I was in addiction for years I’m 35 I was a tradesman and done my back in so I retrained to do barbering and now that’s even too painful so now I’m going to go back to night school and train to do counselling God willing to help others that are in situations that I have come through. God Bless you and your family brother, see you in glory.

Goosebumps, Dewayne! The end sends goose bumps.... Soooo glad to see that you are safe at your new home! and also sooo glad that I caught your 'momma' for a booking right before you all took off from Tennessee! Wishing you all peace, joy - a blessed Easter and a very Happy Birthday (if we don't hear from you before🙂.
I want to say this is the truth I'm a 38 yr old chef and I'm working at a bar and grill feeling stuck here but just realized My dream to own my own food truck or restaurant is still reachable. Thank you sir for showing me my way
Saving up for a house up here in Maine right now - my dream is to just have a little piece of land and be able to do whatever I want on it. Been living in apartments my whole life, I'm from Chicago so I've never had a moment of peace. Working at the grocery store as an evening manager, saving every bit i possibly can and this video was exactly what i needed in my path to growth and prosperity. Thank you friend.
That was a beautiful ending of your teaching - - ->> " If You Stop Having Fun; You Stopped Living." All these wisdom you showed in all your presentations; Is only for those who practice them in their lives. And there are just a hand full of them out there, who have the courage to take the first step. Thank you sir; For another enlighten view how to enjoy life.
I am happy for you and your family's success, and I hope your school has an excellent year! As for my dream: just to be a good man. It's simple. It sure ain't easy, though. It might just be the hardest thing a man can do. But after a lot of time, effort, mistakes, self-discovery, soul-searching, reading, learning, exploring, etc., that's the one thing that I want most out of my life. It always comes back to me, no matter how long I am distracted by base and silly things. It may take all my life to achieve this dream. But if I can say that in the moment before I die that I have lived a truly good life - a life in which I have rarely brought shame to my soul, and have, for the most part, lived to the greatest potential of man - then that's good enough for me. I can die fulfilled.
Thank you for your time and wisdom.
Helps me a lot to listen to you. So I got married many years ago had horses. Was born with horses always thought I would have horses. So when we got married the wife said you got 2 Choices we can buy the farm or we have children what little did I know that children will cost as much as the farm. We had one child that was born premature. So had to sell the horses couldn't afford no more, but I kept my saddle cause I believe in the dream. Long story short , Started a little leather company on the side. That keeps me in close contact with the smells and the sound. The hope one day would be that it'll take off and help to add to the financial gain to be able to get the property to have the horses again. And you want it so bad but you gotta celebrate the little victories along the way. But I gotta tell you I appreciate you because my stepdad had passed many years ago and he was my go to guy to just talk. I know I can certainly listen to you. Thank you From bottom my heart
been listening to your videos whenever I'm on the road and my God. It's like being on the road with my grandpa just teaching me life lessons the whole way. Thank you for all that you do.
Thank you for the inspiration . Very good insight and wisdom.
Great message, thank you for sharing.
You can have feelings, just don't let those feelings have you.
God Bless you Dewayne! Can't get enough of your genuinely humble wisdom. Your videos help so many people!

Very sound advice a lot of people need to take to heart. ❤
These words hit hard although your not at your destination it doesn’t mean you won’t get there it just means your not there yet
Dwayne you are a sage sir, thank you for all the wisdom !
This is something I took for granted for a long time; just living the drudgery of life with escapism into unhealthy habits. Then one day on my way to work, in the job I hated, about 12 years ago, when I was just approaching 40, the question " what the hell am I doing with my life" blurted out of my mouth just before I stepped into the office. I was stunned. I still haven't found my way, because I was lost for a long time, trying different things. I left the job a year later and haven't been able to step into a permanent job since. Just agency work which has paid me as much or sometimes better than the previous job; and offers me more flexibility, while I try to figure stuff out.
Currently learning a tech skill with the aim of getting a semi-decent wage in order to get myself out of the accommodation rut I'm in while living in the capital city, where the cost of living is starting to punish people. I had no concept of this earlier than 40, because, I think I was just walking around in a mind fog. I was also in a cult most of my adult life, one which focused on getting ready for some future promise fulfilment and dissuaded fixing your current life, and especially pursuing dreams.
You have what I would call a wonderful life I love the outdoors always have unfortunately at 53 I haven't found that dream of working in the outdoors like you get to one day
So glad that you all made it safely. Thank you for you and mama's videos they save my days sometimes god bless you all
HalleluYAH brother DeWayne! I will return to walking on that road, long put aside, I will sail the 7 seas, or die in that road trying to reach my dream.
"I don't feel fulfilled."
Have kids. Seriously. I am crazy ambituous and managed to hit a lot of my goals in life. They felt well for a few months but then it was back to the grind. I had a kid and I finally feel content. It's like I could just cruise like this until I'm old now, I don't need anything else.
If this is the "short" video damn I'm wanting to listen to it again. I let you play well talk from my pocket while I work. And I enjoy and embrace alot of the word you speak to us. You have alot of great knowledge thats getting documented for the younger generation to see. I appreciate and applaud your videos and words.
I’m excited for you and your wife living your dream!
Absolutely loving your powerful and simple stoic wisdom brother Dewayne. Stay blessed and healthy. Keep it flowing.
Dewayne always knows the perfect time to go for a puff of that cigar. He times his talking points really good. Huge fan Dewayne, congratulations on completing the trip!
There is also the philosophy of the mastery approach. You find your calling, pursue it with passion, and believe growth is unlimited. You are open to about anything along the way. You are always looking for new opportunities and see a purpose in a majority of things. Goals and dreams can be limiting. That's a lesson I've learned. I respect your perspective and I believe goals and dreams are important. Especially in our younger years when it's more about success and accomplishment vs. fulfillment and significance.
What are suggesting instead of goals and dreams?
May God richly bless you for the encouragement that you provided tonight.
So glad yall made it out west! I betcha Momma is stoked. ❤
You're an awfully wise man Dwayne. To be honest I've heard l always struggled with finding a purpose in life. Never really had much of a dream to chase. I think my dream has become living my life like this man. I really feel like a connection to the land and beauty of nature is needed for almost everyone. Time to stop stalling and make it happen
Dwayne, you are a wealth of knowledge. Please keep encouraging and providing a disease to this lost world. We need more people with attitudes like your's. God bless you brother
Thank you 🙏 I needed this.
Good luck this semester 💓
Sir, I will thank you one day for this message. 🙏🏼
Blessings for you and your family. Greetings from Finland. 🌲🌊
I cant lie man i never had much of a dream but after coming across brother Dewayne he help me make those foggy waters in my mind a lil more clear sure i have work to do as we all do but man his wisdom and encouragement helped me so much atleast i know what type of elder man i want to be now i look up to bro
Hopelessness rarely comes in the " live your entire life " size as it seems to weed out those that get that as their selection. The key is to be able to see even the slimmest , thinnest , barely there amount of hope. A refocusing of whats actually in front of you may help some. Here is hoping either way.
Great video Dwayne thank you . I can relate. I got sidetracked from my dream for seven years. Felt trapped and no way out. Stuck in a job I could not stand ! then I saw an opportunity and it got me out. I was finally free doing something I like. I could do things towards my dream again and it was a silver lining I had to go through it ! I’ve had many stumbling blocks on the way. But now I’m back on the horse. In a matter of speaking I’m not a horse guy . Although I did ride when I was very young had an uncle out in Washington state had a ranch. Love horses. Any way You can’t give up & when you’re moving shit gets in your way. Keep going no matter what that’s my motto. I’m 58 not there yet, so I die on the road. At least I tried. Thats my plan Stan. It’s been 22 years chasing that dream I’ll never give up, God bless happy Easter Dwayne . Mark from NY State . ✌️22:23
Great to hear that ya'll arrived in Wyoming! Along with your life encouragement and what you're smoking, might you also have short snippets of horse tips (or similar) that you can share? Best of luck as you and the wife get settled and ready for your first class. Blessings!
Your message here made me think of Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. Specifically the line “May you find your Tower, Roland, and breach it, and may you climb to the top!”. Any DT fans here? Highly recommend this series. Through 7 insane books we follow the gunslinger, Roland, on a seemingly endless and hopeless mission to find the Dark Tower, defeat the Crimson King, and save the Universe; a dark western fantasy that only King could write. We all have our own Tower that we need to find, climb, and conquer; or, as you said, die on the road.
You are truly a blessing to humanity. Your words spoke directly to my current situation. I appreciate and enjoy your videos.
God bless.
I may have stopped watching regularly since I was missing the unpolitical and un-moralistic advice I loved about the first video I watched from DCWS ... the "When should you have it all together" - Video. But boy, am I glad to have clicked on this encouragement! It actually represents the valuable quality of well formulated advice coming from a realm of experience very different from my own. Thanks Dewayne!
I love your videos man! Keep an eye out for me, I am recording some music with folks from Nashville, and I'd love for you to hear it!
I appreciate your wholesome advice!
Dewayne, as soon you said " die going toward your dream" I started crying.
