No one’s coming to save you. With everything, the novelty wears out after awhile and you’re left with that constant void. We can’t ran away from ourselves.
Lack of travel of is the best alibi for someone incapable of facing the issues in their life. This is SUCH a solid take on this topic. Well done mate. 🤟🏼
When I was in my early 20ies, I also thought I can run away from my problems and depression and lack of self esteem by travelling. I was shocked as I found myself totally depressed on a wonderful beach in Australia. This is where I learned I really can't escape myself, whereever I go. Also, travelling costs so much money. Which is fine I guess when you like or at least tolerate your job. But I hate mine. Which means I strive to escape it as early as possible and retire at the soonest possible. Travelling would only postpony my goal, as it costs money, quite a lot of money actually, which doesn't mean I don't travel at all, I do - but within Europe only and not too expensive. I'm not sure if my decisions are smart, but they are the only decisions I'm currently able to take.
Hey I totally agree with you! I value traveling and expanding my worldview, but I value stability so much more. While people around me are seemingly priortizing traveling, I focus on building a better diet, exercise more often, decluterring and organizing my home, as well as practicing mental hygiene habits such as journaling, mindfulness, surrounding in nature, etc. My next goal is imporving my social life and connection. I still think of planning a trip somewhere soon, changing your environment and switching up your routine are needed sometimes, but staying grounded and build better habits are my top priorities. Sharing this to encourage on your decisions!
So.......change it? I hate to state the utterly obvious but it sounds like you need to find something you're passionate about with purpose, a profession that you connect with, rather than stay in the same crappy job that you want to get out asap.
It’s not black or white. If you travel superficially for the sake of traveling, that’s exactly what it will be. If it’s of high quality, make an effort to befriend the locals/learn a new culture. It will be life changing
Nice mate these are some true words! Traveling is not a solution, BUT it can help you to realise you have to work hard on yourself everywhere you go. Learning, sports, achieving, bussiness are great things to start with to be happy. It is also really good to just START with something, even if you don't know what you want to do! Just do! Let's go guys! Go for it and stop complaining! Live your life!
Meaning, purpose and service: that’s what’s gonna save us all not novelty and over-indulgence of senses. Travel including is made richer when there’s intentionality, purpose and meaning inherent in it- otherwise, its just as good as getting drunk on the couch. Keep going Bryson! Your gift needs to be shared
A change of external factors can help you change. But ONLY when you firstly intent to change inside. Mow a lawn and it will grow back the same. Plant new seeds and it will grow different.
Thanks for putting this out here. It’s an unpopular opinion but something I’ve noticed in our generation of social media as well. Of course travelling itself is neutral, it’s the person and their being that matters. Thanks for your vulnerability and creativity! Keep it up!!
Thank you for sharing this message! As for the video the BGM was a great choice with well balanced sound level, it just was mixing so well with you talking. Also loved the intro, no jumping straight into action, just peaceful and simple.
This is an amazing video, very inspirational. I definitely agree that perfectionism can be a horrible thing when it comes to creating videos (and in life also) as we constantly strive for more and more without appreciating what we can create in the present moment. Awesome video! keep it up ! :)
It's easy to relocate and hope you'll leave your troubles behind. That can only happen if you change yourself...your character..otherwise all you do is drag electrolytes with you. Seneca had a gift on insight. Grateful that he wrote 'Stoicism'.
I don’t travel to solve problems. I travel to see new thinks and have a break. What’s wrong with that? My problems aren’t that big and I like my own company.
I travel as well. That is the exact reason you should travel in my opinion. My point is that traveling is not meant to be a "fix all" solution to your life like social media would make you believe.
You seem like a nice kid. I think any video put out with the right intention can be beneficial. Your perspective matters. Don’t worry about being perfect. I traveled when I was in my twenties and it changed me. Other life experiences also changed me. Your video has made me want to read Seneca and make some more videos for UA-cam. Thanks!
Thank you so much man, trying to become the best version of myself for sure. I may come across better in the videos than I am hahaha. Much more work to do. Really appreciate the support
Great video - thanks for sharing those quotes - made me think of the more simplified "wherever you go, there you are" but the stoics phrased it more eloquently
Great video and message Bryson. This is your first video that I've seen so I don't know what else have you been doing before but, its always a pleasure to see someone doing what they really want to do and share and talk about. I think you could be great, I already think this storytelling was quite good on its own.
If your a loser in your home country then nothing will change if you relocate. People have various reasons for traveling that don’t involve running away from anything.
It will when you bend a knee and serve and the veil will lift. Like when I went to reunite with my absentee father in Sunnyvale near San Francisco, he sent me away to my aunt in Los Angeles, and when I finally settled down and turned back to Christ, I was shown everything I missed on my journey. The Golden Gate bridge painted in Orange (color of Gluttony) - if you get across the golden gate bridge (over the rainbow) - and remain a saint (San) then you are a free man (Francisco). And Los Angeles is the city of Fallen/Lost angels. Only the tip of the Iceberg - when the veil lifts, you realize, the writing was on the wall your entire journey. So eyes wide open instead of eyes wide shut and take that journey of enlightenment because San Francisco and Los Angeles don't even exist - they're just imagined borders with meaning put on them that create a fallen culture of life here on Earth, for the Free-dom under the Kingdom - life in reverse/life in death. Matthew 6 is the way - that is the page that will teach you all these ways of Christians are false for they didn't follow clear instructions.
The enemy always says run... Run to the alcohol.. run to your significant other.. run to the traveling...Run. When really we need to come home. Come home to God. our creator.
@@christophdenner8878 That's exactly what Satan would like you to believe.. Look around you, the is good and evil. Satan blinds the minds of the unbeliever that's why the Bible scripture says I was blind but now I see.
bro when they say travel you gotta travel like you are hitchhiking or 80 percent hobbo mode traveling with pre-decided places with people behind you wont work
Seneca has quite a negative point of view... If we expand his theory, nothing will actually really fix you... Travelling can do a lot for someone and it can help to start afresh if you are depressed, or if you want to flee from family issues or if you find a good job abroad for example... And thus be the beginning on the path of being "fixed"... If you want to find a solution to your problems in the act of travelling, you must just, to my mind, prepare and see in advance what will offer the place you're going to and how it will be able to help you. I think "fixation" or "healing" can be found in travelling. You just need to find the right way to do it : where, when, how much time, etc... But in most cases it will not be only travelling, but living in another country for some time haha
Disobedience to God leads to eventually unhappiness, unfilled life , depression etc. The first command God gave man was to get married and have children. Nothing else will ever compensate for that blessing. “ Children are an inheritance from the LORD. They are a reward from him.” Life is more than your selfish vain pursuits and living with a cat or dog or traveling and and living your best van or tiny house life now. Don’t end up that lonely cat lady or bitter old man living in a van down by the river.
Not true a lot of married men are miserable and stressed. Cheating and looking for gratification outside of their relationship. It's about being with the right people who are meant for you otherwise you are better off alone
@@raya74 They are called adulterers. They will be judged eternally if not repented through Jesus. Go and sin no more being the command for the adulterer. For those out of marriage and having sexual relations it's the same they are fornicators and will stand for eternal judgement if not repented and covered by forgiveness and grace of God. To them the same command stop sinning.
After 15 years of full-time travel, I feel confident in saying - you are wrong. Very wrong. Perhaps you should have traveled some more. Or maybe it's just not your path, and that's it. No need to discourge others.
Maybe I should have clarified more at the end. I still travel all the time for my business and I love it more than anything. Traveling is not meant to be a fix all. Social media accounts claim that once you travel your issues go away and you'll finally be happy, which is not true. This video is not discouraging others but simply offering another lens to this topic. I appreciate your feedback :)
@@bryson_valencia Social media told you that once you travel your issues go away? Just like that - without you having to develop strength and character? And you believed it...? Well... what can I say :) Regardless, I wish you all the best with your business. Hope you'll enjoy your business trips along the way as well. Good luck!

Sounds like you might need a balance. Some outward experiences combined with self-creation, purpose, love, and intrinsic motivation.
I guess you can't escape your mind by going to a new location.
Really well made video bro!
Thank you so much :)
It won’t fix you I agree but it takes you out of a habitual groove and can alter your consciousness
Thanks for your great message, it's really an exciting video 😍👏
Thank you so much :)
This was literally the lesson I took with me traveling out of the country for the first time in my life.
