Man, his words are like a sip of cool, fresh water in the middle of a damn desert we all are in these days :D

[trevorblade]

I agree man. Tired of all the self help BS out there. There's definitely a market out there that is now being exploited. I think at a point I too fell victim to trying to be too perfect, too stoic, too grounded instead of enjoying life.

[pauloguga]

Elisha in the last few months you've become way more mellow and it's coming through in your videos big time

[JMARTIN]

Totally Agree, once I stopped trying to be "perfect" the burden of that stress left and I was able to breath properly like fuck man I'm only 19 years old so I don't know shit and admitting that was liberating. My overall goal in life is to become as close to an ideal man as possible. But my current goal is prioritize my health both mental and physical, to do my daily Japanese studies so that I can get one step closer to studying there abroad, be diligent in my studies since those two are connected but man starting to get into the language drastically improved my health and grades. The rest do what's fun, read comics, educate myself on crypto trading, socialize with friends, help others. Life is simple just need a little bit of hardwork and consistency, consistency is give us progress!
The trap of modern man now is that we tend to focus on the wrong thing and be way to ridgid on the stuff that doesn't matter in the bigger picture, it's like we tend to put ourselves into this self impose tunnel vision.

Wish I’d found your channel years ago lol. Thanks for the video man

[NeoStoicism]

Aurelius, baby. The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way. Will you heed the call?

[actionjackson]

This is just what I needed. What you said was so true, sometimes when you’re in the journey for self improvement you get tunnel vision and you get too serious about everything.

As a 17y old dude who posted art renneisance pics on insta to get chicks can say that this video was spot on

[allanb]

A friend of mine would say "Progression, not Perfection". Sure, we may slip a time or two but as long as we keep moving forward we'll reach out goals. We'll never be perfect, and that's ok. As long as we are progressing we are where we need to be.

Bro when you talk about instagram.. Twitter is even worse. A bunch of people LARP like they're some sophisticated gentleman and it's so cringe.

[Suiklol]

I like the aloofness from you on this matter, Eli.
you've had your fair share from it, and now the time has come to realization that it was merely a fluke; so real yet so afar, an illusion..tricking ourselves.
"Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it." (this is from the serenity prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr)
I your cherish your insight, Elisha.

Reminds me of Brave New World; you'll go insane trying to avoid every bad influence, so just do what you know needs to be done ⚔️

Great vid Elisha. Just wanted thank you for being mate I never had that always helped me get my shit together. The plans I've been working towards for the last 3 years are finally coming together and I'm heading of to Army basic training camp in 3 days. I don't know if I could of done it without your vids always teaching me the things you had to learn the hard way.
Peace out homie I'm gonna miss these videos🖤

[logan]

This is honestly really important to keep in mind. I realise I had not been baring in mind that all of these "good habits" are good but certainly won't help me to achieve my purpose. God bless, brother :)

[styler]

definitely needed to hear this today man, thank you

[Kowalski]

Dude thank you I needed to hear this! I always try to be perfect then get stuck overthinking about how I could have done things better rather than moving towards my goals! Been watching for a while but only recently been putting some of your advice to practice and my life is going on the up and up. Stay real Elisha Long

[ItsRaitisLV]

Your videos act like an anchor, they ground me in the present moment

[ibra]

I think this is the most important video that you ever did and that we must watch
