[whoeveriamiam]

Treat yourself like I-95 and never stop working on yourself no matter how inconvenient it is for everyone else

[turnovertheleaf]

Everyone is so worried about themselves, they don't notice others.

[JohnApted]

"I probably should have written a script. Regrets". I laughed so hard!

[xxmikey]

Hey, Dad. Thanks for everything you do and are. Live, laugh, love you so mucho for being you. 🖤

[sonipitts]

"Failure is better than regret" is definitely a take I needed today

[ScottHess]

I think part of the reason people on their deathbed say things like “I should have worked less” is because people on their deathbed are not often the same person as the person who perhaps worked too much. One of them became the other person, the experience informed the result.

[EDIT: Just to be clear, you absolutely probably should put less time into work and more into other pursuits. But not specifically because you'll regret it on your deathbed. Instead because you almost certainly aren't being rewarded appropriately for the amount of devotion you put into your work. For most people who are devoted to their work, stealing 8 hours a week from work and investing it into something foundational like exercise will improve your work results AND will likely improve every other aspect of your life.]

[mariebigler]

Thanks! I find these types of things so much more motivating and meaningful than your average motivational speech people think I am weird that things that are seemingly unpleasant are actually good to remember.

[Meagan-Renee]

Watching this while eating ice cream for breakfast. No regrets 😅

[laurenbreeze]

I struggled with social anxiety and bullying. I thought everyone was judging me or making fun of me. Until my therapist said, “humans are very self centered, you may think because someone looked at you that they’re judging you, but really they’re worrying about themselves and what’s going on in their world. They don’t care about you. So why do you care about them?” It’s projection. Your projecting your insecurities onto others instead of dealing with them head on. 🤯

[enregistreur]

Speaking of regret, I don’t always have a WheezyWaiter in my recommendations, but when I do and I click it, I never regret it. 😊
Thank you 🙏

The thing I realized recently (and I'm 51 for context) is that I'm the only one who remembers that dumb thing I said in high school because everyone is focused on that dumb thing they said in high school.

[frankjuuh]

It's somehow comforting to know that you, like me, still struggle with motivation all these years after Craig with a wig, the basement alligator, the eagle, and loving it when the coffee's done.
Also, you ARE special, Craig, and you're never gonna die.

[deetstreet]

I'm not soecial and neither are you, but having grown up, since age 11, watching your videos and seeing your journey to where you are today and having this parasocial relationship with you feels pretty special. 😊

Your growth has helped my growth and I'm so grateful for it.

[jBnSPUgdu]

Love your channel. You seem like the kind of person anyone would like to have as a friend and enjoy hanging out with. Thank you for the down-to-earth and grounded words of wisdom. True that. What you said.

[secretscarlet]

Don’t worry Craig I also think about these things. Sometimes they depress me but sometimes they empower me. Feels nice that someone on the tube is speaking these.

[Broker-in-Maine]

The most natural, genuine, relatable dude on YouTube! Cheers -

[sianadriscoll]

I'm actually so amped about the documentary. Glad to hear it's done! If someone happened to be living in Canada and not planning travel, how might one watch said documentary?

[sachiperez]

YES, I am special! my mother said it once. i think...

[heathersparlor]

Always, always use "air quotes ." They are fun and hurt, no one. And it always puts a smile on my face.
