    Hey Philip! I fully relate to your struggles in the craft of blacksmithing. It has taught me to never set expectations as they have a possibility of failure. Rather than feeling like a failure, I’ve learned to set goals. Goals are always achievable tomorrow if you didn’t reach them today. The key that I’ve found to happiness is celebrating every victory no matter how big or how small. You can make every single thing you do for yourself or for others as an achievement. Filling your mind with positive affirmations throughout your day attracts more positive outcomes in your life. It is the law of attraction. I’ve found a lot of happiness in my time management and it feels good to have your life in order in a notebook with a full 12 month calendar in it and make to-do lists that you can check off and be able to look back at all that you’ve accomplished and celebrate every victory along the way. It sounds so crazy but this is how someone in the age of instant gratification from a cell phone can truly achieve happiness and start to be away from their cell phones. I wish you great prosperity in your growth as a craftsman and as a crafted man.

    Hi Philip Your story inspired me today , IM a retired boiler maker welder in AUSTRALIA and 3 off my sons and my grand son are B.M.W. as well . When teaching them the trade I had one main rule LOOK LISINE and LEARN , And I still believe that today , Every time I watch one of your videos I feel like a Apprentice once Moore and still learning . So thank you Philip for relighting the fire in my OLD bones , And your presentation is first class . 😁🤩👍⚒👀🤠

    Your videos really help me, i was feeling rather lost when i when i saw this. And while I still don’t know the way, I know that it is a process and that i can make it if I am patient with myself and learn to savor each moment of growth, because life is too short to wish time away, that is something I’ve learned through growing and taking care of my long hair, to me it symbolizes my own journey of self growth, as my my hair grows i grow into the man my future wife and family will need me to be and has servedas a reminder of how far I’ve come and to not give up, Never cut your hair man, it’s awesome!!!

    • @lufolkcrafts
      @lufolkcrafts 23 дня назад

      thank you for sharing! Makes me happy to hear that it helped. That is a nice metaphor too! It sounds like you have a direction at least. I hear you, it is easy to get lost. But having a direction and goal is key, sounds obvious but it isn't always. One thing that helped me to "stay on track" is to first, have my destination written down, and second, have visual reminders around me. Thank yoy!

    Your openness is an asset to both you and your channel. I rarely offer advice, but in my later years I feel somewhat qualified. I recently retired from a career mostly spent behind a desk, or directing others at construction sites. Retirement brought me the “luxury” of following my heart, providing me with an opportunity to express my creativity. I’ve admired blacksmiths from an early age, and decided to pursue the craft. I find it satisfying. My advice to you is; follow your heart from as early an age as possible. You will never be disappointed with how you spent your life.

    Philosophy and blacksmithing-two ancient crafts that shape both metal and mind. Each strike of the hammer is a lesson in patience, every forge a reflection of inner fire. Together, they teach the balance between strength and precision, thought and action.
