The Lie We All Believe

It's hard for me to not buy into the idea of the grass being greener on the other side. Is it okay for me to feel like I am enough, as I am, right now, today?

The grass is always greener on the other side. Key to happiness is accepting what you have and who you are :)

If we all take back seat to the world around us we tend to notice all the little things in life

This one is on point. I hear you and feel the same. I moved from LA to the Cebu City, Philippines and work is slow here. I'm using my God given talents to take a different approach... and so far it's moving in the right direction. A friend once told me, "all on God's time." Stay blessed.

The grass is greener... Where you water it 💖

There should be a healthy balance between being content and striving for the better. Ambition is good, but too much of that can be destructive. One should regularly stop, be thankful, breathe, and feel the peace of deep content.

Honestly I like this video more than your travel or tip vids. There’s a million of these on YouTube. I’m not a Christian but this is your best, most honest video to date.

Videos like this are why I subscribed to your channel Ted. Great job!

Wrong! Have you seen the Irish weather recently? 😉 I think this realization normally comes later in life so well done you for being self aware and confident enough to share. I think this feeling for me is tech toys just before you open the box, it’s all you want it to be before you open it and then you find that in practice it is very different. Maybe that is why we love the idea of gifts but they almost never live up to what you thought it was in that wrapped box. I say make yourself happy first by having experiences and not chasing the current cool trend.

Hey! It was really cool to hear your faith is still a part of your life and influences you. Christy is moving to NY in a couple of months. Good luck with your adventures in NY!

Wow Ted, this is such amazing content in all ways! I love these kind of videos that gets me to actually stop and think a bit and just not continuing scrolling like nothing really happened

[theUnknown]

Wow! This was super real!! Holy moly wishing you the best! Blown away

Bless you, Ted! God truly knows what is in your heart. In due time you will sow the seeds of your labor. It may take longer than expected, but just watch. You are already reaching so many people through this platform! I agree with everything you said. Thank you for the message. Keep the faith, my brother! ☺👍

Hey Ted. Thats a really great video with a great message. Glad I found your channel.

Well said.
I recently accepted that having bad days ie none productive days is ok.

One of my favorite Jesus stories is when he talks with the man from gerasenes (legion) it's interesting.

Hot topic:Today I angered another gun owning friend. The idea of a person under psychiatric care being able to purchase a highly destructive firearm bothers me.Whats wrong with a law or system to help prevent such purchases from happening? He feels his guns will be taken away and he wouldn't be able to protect himself.
As you know guns in AZ are so easily accessible. I'm a avid target shooter and what I see lately at the gun range and gun shows is concerning.
It's a hot topic but I wonder how you feel about this?

I am enough towards Jehovah God, I come to existence to enjoy life not to a slave by money and materialism. Its because of Satan he as the control of the world.

1 John 5:19  "We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one"

We do our best for God and the son Jesus Christ in this imperfection body we have because of Adam and Eve sin. What helps us is connecting with people, stop worrying about money and enjoy the simple things in life. Trust me life is not stressful for me, it's less to worry about and you can force what really important. Studying the bible, the meetings together, preaching the Bible and be connected towards people that you trust.

Because of this personality I am lovable, kind, empathy, caring and consider of people's feelings. That's a rare thing to see in this generation I am telling you now. People love to talk to me and worried about me since this coronavirus shutdown. That's love and I hope a find a man I can marry that enjoys this love I can give someday.

People don't realize all we need is love and that's it. Jesus Christ is a good example of love he doesn't care what personality you have or what you did. Your a human being and you derseve to be cared for amen

As soon as you started talking about believing in god I quit this video lol 🤦🏾‍♂️, never trust anyone who talks about god.

[freedomfunwithjlbfriends]

Well said but i dont believe in gods or jesuses and we are perfect, its all subjective.
