“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
― Rumi

After reaching one of the lowest points in my life, this channel has been a source of hope and peace for me.
I'm glad there's still some form of humanity amongst the chaos found in social media

[michiblssm]

Rather than just accepting, what I learned is that you have to also appreciate what's right in front of you including the simple things. It's the small details that actually matter.

[pickledpanther]

ngl the first half sounded like we were getting walked into a horror story lmao

[ariella]

I like how chill this space in YouTube is
Like i can be at peace here somehow

There's no one judging one another
No people fighting
Everyone is here to expand their knowledge and perhaps is looking for a new perspective

With the chaotic pace of other social media platforms
I'm glad that these type of contents will always be here offering a soft calm place for anyone who is willing to come

“Then… he laughed.”

Such a profound ending. So simple. So absurd. So triumphant. Acceptance, responsibility, agency, beauty.

Bravo!

I'm really struggling right now and I hope someday I can be at peace with everything.

This is 100% true. Happiness isn’t a passive state of being, it’s an active goal that requires effort to achieve. I’ve been practicing this mindset for a few years now and it really works. It’s not difficult, but it does require awareness and intent. But if you can exercise the mindfulness required to be aware of where you are, what you’re doing, what you’re grateful for, and the goals you’re pursuing, you will, nine times out of ten, find yourself utterly and completely content.

Something I find very interesting is that when you’re a child, you can easily be happy with what you have. When I think about my childhood, I remember that I could easily be distracted by a simple pen or a plastic bottle. I would imagine the pen as a spaceship, and the bottle as a submarine or a boat. I had no real desires, except for the basic ones. But when you become an adult, you begin to chase some goals, and you basically think that your happiness is bound to the achievement of those goals. But unfortunately, you soon discover that you’re never satisfied with what you have, no matter how many things you’ve managed to succeed. It’s so sad that we can’t keep thinking like childs regarding how they see the world and how they can appreciate it no matter what they have or don’t have. As adults, we tend to focus a lot more on what we don’t have than what we already have. That’s, for me, the beginning of our sufferings.

The knowledge that dust is mostly your own skin cells, and that the thing that makes your house dusty is you being alive in it, certainly recontextualizes the whole thing.

[NickMI]

I needed this- Getting older you get so wrapped up in day-to-day life trying to chase where you want to be that you stop enjoying the "now" and what you already have. When I actually think about it I already have a great life at age 30- a small house, a wife who's my best friend, a son, and I've hardly ever had to worry about having food to eat everyday and a bed to sleep in. I think life truly is an art of "balance". Mankind wouldn't be anywhere without goals and ambitions, but at the same time, you can't let it run your life to the point of never feeling happy/satisfied until you have "this" or achieve "that". I've been so consumed the past 10 years now with expectations and goals for myself that I always feel unsatisfied in life..I really need to change that and work on enjoying the "now" and what I already have in my life instead of always looking towards the future.. sooner than later there won't be a future for me anymore.

No matter what happens, whether or not you find yourself in unfavorable circumstances, you will always seemingly find yourself wondering why you’re still be able to retain every part of you that makes you ‘you.’ This is essential knowledge we must take note of.

Guys, this video made me tear up and cry a lot after realizing the simplicity of the meaning of life and it's purpose: to find JOY in every moment we can by inviting the struggle that precedes it.

As the saying goes "there is Joy in the struggle."

[masteringmui]

this is probably my favorite of your videos in a while man. You’ve really crystallized the message you’re trying to get across and you did so beautifully.

[joaovitor]

You expressed the beauty of Camus's philosophy in this video.
We must imagine sisyphus happy.

[BitterDawn]

Reminds me of when my daughters mum and I moved to the other side of the country to switch it up, but of course our problems followed us to no surprise. We moved back to where we began after a couple of months due to health issues and split 4 years later. Living somewhere else is just changing the background scenery, like on a pc or phone.

I've been struggling with suicidal thoughts for weeks, months. I like how this video showed me some things i forgot about life. Things can be beautiful even if i'm in a dark place, there can be light tomorrow, i just gotta look for it
