I have been given a terminal cancer diagnosis, I’m 41 and had been putting everything off until I was more successful, have more money. I’m so so sad to be dying but I’ve started to accept and am feeling very peaceful. I’m looking forward to seeing my mother again and all my dogs I’ve loved through my life. Please don’t put off your goals and dreams. Thank you Russell x

I find that two things help me the most. 1. Try not to buy into any of it, don't "own situations" All things pass. 2. I'm a disabled man, and rely on my mobility scooter to get out & about, so once a day, every day of the year, come rain, sun, wind, fog, ice, snow, I visit Something much bigger than myself, I visit my "Sparrow tree". I sit under the branches of this beautiful being on my scooter, looking up into the branches and leaves, it's beauty is amazing, branches covered in multi colour lichens, the way the branches twist and turn, the abundant insect life that buzzes among it's leaves, and of course those little rascals the Sparrows! I love their chatter and chirps, and little scuffles with each other. I spend around half an hour every day admiring and appreciating this huge being, it helps take my mind off little old me, and any problems I may have.

It never ceases to amaze me how incredibly articulate, and coherent Brand is.

One of my favorite quotable quotes was attributed to an old Norwegian sailor: "I have experienced many terrible things in my life, most have never happened."

Russell sobering up and sharing his points of view, interviews and learnings is one of the greatest gifts of belonging to the community of recovering addicts around the world.

It feels like the worlds falling apart until you turn off your computer/tv, step outside, walk around, maybe look at some trees.

I'm dealing with a heartbreak, stolen parts of my bike (my favourite sport is cycling so this is huge), financial issues. I started doing gratitude journal in the morning and evening but I focus on feelings and non-materialistic stuff for gratitude. I'm also journaling a lot. If I feel like I need to talk to someone, rather than talking, I word vomit into the journal. I find it working better than talking to people because it doesn't talk back or tries to give me advice. My journal is just there, taking my thoughts and words and suddenly my thoughts and feelings fall into place.

I have wasted so much of my life with anxiety and panic attacks. I wouldn't wish it on anyone x I can relate to so much of what Russell talks about.

I watched your Documentery on Drugs, and vowed to get clean. Five years sober now after a 30 years addiction. Lost my husband and brother to it.. I just found your Youtube Channel. You Heal the world one person at a time. This was 13 minutes of healing. Thank you Russell.

[andrewpatrick]

Firmly convinced. Russell Brand is a truly nice fella. God Bless him. May his message spread.

every day has been sort of just a "tired sigh" lately. not enough to fully give up, but man am I tired

"Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace." Oscar Wilde.

As someone who is currently living beyond rock bottom, planning a way out on a daily basis. YouTube has brought me to Russell's channel be it fate or coincidence.
After the line "A great man, a great soul Eckhart Tolle once said to me" then cut to an Ad "Hello I'm Patrick Stewart" and for the first time in 20+ years I smiled uncontrollably.
It hasn't changed my want for self destruction and a means to an end, but it has prompted me to at least try one last time to seek help and see if it can free me from the hell I condemn myself to everyday.

I was listening to my grandchildren playing and giggling with abandon and I was struck with such a joyful feeling of gratitude, it was the little
