The best production value for somebody with under 100 subs. You keep one upping yourself man what a great vid. Amazing cinematography and editing with a great message. Keep going brother

Edit: Bros over 600 subs now what an absolute champion

"the person who enjoys walking will walk further than the person who enjoys the destination" wow... i'll remember that quote.

[LaytonObserves]

"It's easier to be exceptional than normal" is a banger quote.

[Tacobellion]

“There are no rules. We just impose these guidelines on ourselves”

This video was beautiful bro

Being the outcast used to be the weakness

In modern times with crazed out societies, it’s the strength.

[Hansei]

"The reward for conformity was that everyone liked you except for yourself".

Learn to define, to content yourself with some specific thing and some definite work; dare to be what you really are, and to learn to accept with good grace all that you are not.

To the younger people in the comment section: As you grow older most of these things you’ll automatically figure out. Until then, don’t stress out (at least try not too)

At 58, I've lived this without ever really meaning to. At school I was always the weird misfit kid, but I think I was genuinely misfit enough to understand that trying to fit in wouldn't work for me - I could either waste my time being a poorly done inauthentic copy of what my peers found acceptable, or I could just stop worrying that people laughed at me and enjoy being myself. College was pretty tough - no unkindness or bullying, it was just very lonely - but I eventually found a bunch of friends and something I loved to do and my life has just got better as I've got older. I never did so many things people think essential - never learned to drive, never got married, never had kids - but if I fell under a bus tomorrow I could genuinely say that I've lived the life I wanted, one where I prioritised the quality of existence over long-term goals. So thanks for putting this idea into words. Can't wait to see what my sixties are like.

Bro this is unironically one of the most motivational videos ive ever watched, i've been stuck in that dreadful cycle of watching motivational videos without doing anything but this has genuienly changed the way ive acted for the last week and i keep coming back to watch it

Being outside of social circles can sometimes mean avoiding the conflicts and drama that come with group dynamics. You might find peace in solitude or in smaller, more meaningful interactions.

[katlinsh]

But sometimes the loneliness is too much. It hurts like broken bones, trying to understand why everybody leaves, or why you're the last pick for anything. Hurts too much.

[paraschugh]

In order to be exceptional, you must be the exception. Makes sense.

[DinoPorko]

This reminds me of another quote “You have to be odd to be number 1” since nobody stands out if everybody’s the same

[MairaMarsh]

Mimi summary

Dont rely on others to motivate you because it could easily turn out wrong
Just because everyone is doing it a certain way, doesn’t mean thats the only way
Dont just enjoy the out come, enjoy the process
Making hard choices for an easier life
Dont expect to be exceptional with a normal mindset

[bytechandgadgets]

Being an outcast can be liberating.

As Kierkegaard noted, 'Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.'

Embrace your unique perspective; it often grants clarity and freedom from societal constraints. Your path is your own to shape.

"In order to be exceptional, you must be the exception." DAMN

[TheMrLeoniasty]

I sometimes think that nowadays people don't do stuff purely for fun, out of interest or for themselves. Everything has to be documented and shown around, every little thing.

It's easy to forget that to achieving something great is a process and that process can even take years.

That's why intrinsic motivation is so important, if you rely on anything outside of you to continue for years to come you are set up for failure.

But if you yourself are the motivation then you can accomplish great things.

Remember, nothing worth having in life comes easy.
Motivation isn't everything, you also need discipline.

friendly reminder to you guys to not put yourself in an echo chamber 0:10

One of the fun things about YouTube is that some days, it feeds me a new and interesting YouTuber like you with fresh ways of expressing your own brilliant thoughts about life. I appreciate it.
