“Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.” - Lao Tzu

Pat I feel like you’re describing me. For 8 years I was 340 pounds a alcoholic coke head who lost everything. My family my Job and myself. Then one day I hit rock and bottom and joined a gym. I lost 100 pounds in 5 months got clean and sober and got my family back and started a business. I’m in 5 in half years clean sober healthy and happy now.
My father used to say I’m broke a lot when I asked him for things when I was a kid. Subconsciously I knew these are words I would never use as an adult. Words are power! Speak strength into your life!
My parents are the same way, anytime I would talk to them about something they went right to how much it would cost in full, instead of thinking of ways to make it work. Its very damaging to the mental state to discard all possibilities just because you cant afford the end goal tomorrow.
I'm glad you spoke to your child and let him know what you actually meant a lot of children fail because the parents put them down by using the most toxic words and fail to recognize how much harm they are actually doing to the future generations
I think you are 💯 for me name calling is the worst thing as well as put downs anyone can do to their child. Saying things like, you dummy. Are you stupid? What is wrong with you? Etc.

I have to say until 14 years old I felt like a victim, my step-dad my mother always acted like victims of something, what doesn't matter only when I saw people who have are actually successful even though they had worse lives like living in horrible conditions but they spoke like its the past and the past shouldnt hold you down and they got the success they deserved only then i turned stronger and slowly grew thicker skin, before id cry after every insult now i think why would say that and when I realize the reason I understand how they feel and let them think what they want

I'm 49 years old and I wish my father was half as caring as you. Your chat with your son was so deep and meaningful. He is blessed to have you as his father.
I’ve been hearing constantly men are cheaters and that I shouldn’t get married. Then I realised I was turning away wonderful men, because I was listening to and repeating these heartbreaking stories. We must use our words and thoughts for positivity 💕
@@shakesy1075 yea I get that but its so cringe when people say shit like that. He took the one line of the comment that mentioned anything to do with emotions and immediately made a cliche remark, it just screams insecurity
The fact that he spoke about the mistake he committed while referring to "kids being annoying sometimes" reveals how honest he is to admit his mistake in public and how he rectified himself. Salut Patrick
This video made me cry being a grown up man! Especially the part with his son. I learn a lot from you Patrick. Stay blessed and keep motivating us to be on the right and positive path in life.
Pat, I've had 4 cancers stroke and other illnesses. It's all about perseverance and perspective! Love your stuff! Silver lining in everything if you look hard enough. Keep up the great work!
@Regina Pontes- and I love your attitude! You get it girl! That’s the reason you HAD the cancers and illnesses and do not HAVE them anymore. Our minds are very powerful- stay positive you’re an inspiration! God bless.😘🙏
Working with children as an art instructor taught me the value of words. After a few years of experience in capturing their attention and focus, I found a constructive way to promote positivity with enforcing the omission of the words ‘hate’ and ‘can’t’. This was a powerful transformation in the kids productivity and general tone of the whole class setting. Thank you for this great content sir!
patrick is the older brother i never had , and i wish i could be like him for my little brother , ill keep trying till the day i die , noting will stop me .
Now what if you had your spirit going in the wrong direction, but you didn't realize it because you only had tunnel vision for you want to see, hear, and give thought to? What then? Is what Im typing right now currently something you don't want to entertain? I am currently being phased out from your "sprit radar", ignored? Or am I making sense? Maybe we should analyze all points of view and then make conclusions from a stance of understanding/reason, instead of having tunnel vision for what is let in.
I’m so happy I found Patrick on RUclips. I didn’t know of his existence 6 months ago. He’s such a winner, and i love his messages to the world. He’s a great influencer in a time when we need them.
When I was in my early 20's I used to mutter "it must be nice" when I seen someone better off than me. I was a bitter person, hated everything in the world, a hot head. Then one day after thinking to myself I realized its not fair for me to judge those who seemed to be well off and had it easy or had all the nice things, I don't know what they went through to have those things or be in those positions. That was the 1st time I was truly free and slowly started getting building my self up. I slipped backwards a few times but I always took two steps more than I lost. To this day nearly 15 years latter I still don't say the phrase. I'm over all happy, have a family and not too bad finically. It is nice.
@@rogermoore3991 attitude is everything, this isn’t necessarily about words it’s about what beliefs you adopt and not accepting the negative beliefs of others around you. When he says words he really means beliefs
@@rogermoore3991 it’s not overrated. If anything it’s the most underrated thing ever. Not everyone can change their mindset. Your attitude and mindset can literally can make or break you with anything in life.
I’m 29 years old and I just learned this lesson not so long ago six months ago I was in a very dark place I didn’t even know who I was and my wife kept on telling me you need to change the way you think about yourself and what you say about yourself so that universe can feed you with positivity and boy my life has changed. I listened and I worked every day very hard to change my mindset. Thank God for my wife, and I thank God for life. This is very true props to you for sharing this through your platform.
Dude I just came across this video and it hit me hard! Thank you!! I called my daughter immediately and talked to her about some things I said in front of her or to her when she was little, and I reassured her just how important she is to me and that I’m proud of her.. all that good stuff. I’m a believer in this myself, words really do affect our lives.
Patrick, thank you for this...your advice has HELPED SO MUCH! I lost my job due to the pandemic, but since then I’ve started a RUclips channel on Personal Development and Investing...and is it GROWING!! Thanks again for the advice, and everyone else…NEVER GIVE UP!!!
That's one of the first lessons I try to teach someone when it comes to changing their place in life. You must immediately and consistently stop the wrong words and phrases from being used when speaking to you and in your precense. You must
My wife and I have literally manifested every major goal we come up with each year without even thinking about it. We put it on our dream board in dry erase marker and hang it on the wall. In 4 years we have literally moved mountains. All we do is set out focus, pray every single night before dinner, and no matter what all of our goals magically happen before our eyes. Attitude, intention, and stubbornness are all virtues.
This is so true. My dad used to call me a loser, good for nothing etc etc ... over and over again. At first I didn't accept that, but later I did (unfortunately begin to accept it) ... I let those words have power. It is unfortunate, but ultimately we have the power. WORDS ARE DEFINITELY POWERFUL.
My son was born Jan 17 2012. 6 week premature, and 2 weeks in NICU. Your relationship with your son and me and my son are very close. I admit my mistakes to him. I hate when I let my tongue slip. However I can’t let my pride get in the way of my relationship with him. I strive to be a great example. So admitting I let anger in my speech I want him to see that I am not perfect and am responsible for my words. I also tell him that I love him every chance I get. Thank you for telling that story, makes us all feel human. As far as the rest of the video, priceless.
Patrick , this really got me. Growing up my mom has a negative impression of the male species. She would say unkind words about my father which I tended to block out. Because exactly as you said about your father I didn’t want to hear it and wanted to treat people as individuals. That thought process still serves me until today. I think I speak for everyone here when I say ,thank you for an insightful reminder that we are stronger than we think.🥰.
You talking to your son is the conversation I didn’t realize I needed as a kid 😅 Two words I used to describe myself as a kid annoying burden. Now a 31 year old veteran here in those words for the first time out through your video
You are so right about the power of words. I hate when people say “I can’t…” My response is either “Can’t never could or you won’t be able to if you keep saying you can’t. “
Truthfully I don’t always agree with what you say in your videos but this one popped up in a weird time of my life. I was shot in the leg by a stray bullet on 7/31/22 in downtown Orlando I was one of seven shot. I’m thankful I’m alive and my leg has recovered. But my mental state has been very bad, I felt like a victim, I missed time at work, and when I returned it’s been an uphill battle (I work in sales) but this video is spot on. I won’t talk down to my self, call myself an idiot, or say that I’m useless anymore. I’ll take care of myself and I will implement this and protect my spirit and become an elite version of myself. The only way is up from here.
This was surely powerful. I always thought not being able to tolerate such words was a problem only I had. Seeing a person like him saying he doesn't like to hear it brings me confidence to give a stop to it.
I agree in part. You've laid out an excellent argument as to why you shouldn't say certain words or phrases. I think I'm going to start doing this myself. However, when I hear you saying that "I don't want to hear that" that's something I don't want to say. I want to be strong enough that I can hear whatever anyone says and can overpower, perhaps even persuade them of the opposite belief. There are things that I will not say, but there is nothing that I will exclude myself from hearing. I find it more important to discover truth I didn't know from other people than it is to be misled with their lies. If I'm mislead, then at least I can take responsibility for that. However, if I shut someone down and discouraged them from speaking not only would I not benefit, but everyone else around me--if for no other reason than for an opportunity to prove what they say to be untrue. I am completely and utterly opposed to any kind of censorship for any reason because censorship is only needed by people who do not aim to align themselves 100% to the truth.
I love this, Never allow anyone to steal your positive energy with their negativity. walk away or tell them to shut up about it. AND it is okay to tell them they are wrong about whatever they are saying.
I have a lot to learn, very eye opening. “I HATE” is my saying. I do it all the time and I noticed i been saying it when i don’t mean it. It just puts me in a bad mood.
It's not often that I completely get drawn into a video and feel like the person is talking to me directly, but this was one of them. Thanks Pat, your content has been so inspirational!
“Watch your thoughts, for they will become actions. Watch your actions, for they'll become... habits. Watch your habits for they will forge your character. Watch your character, for it will make your destiny.” ― Margaret Thatcher
This is one of the most powerful, life-changing videos I've seen on the internet. I've always chosen to be positive in my life but this really adds some power and emotional "why" to it. The part about refusing to be a victim should be seen by a lot of people. Being a victim is a choice in how you react to life's events. Too many people in our society are walking around looking for reasons to be offended or feel victimized.
Domingo De Anda My late grandfather used to say “boring people get bored” as you can imagine, I never use it. When people tell me they are bored, I tell them this. The change in them is instant. 👍😀
Excellent to hear! I'm fifty-six now and I've always said throughout my life "I have never suffered from boredom." It's never been a word or concept I've every understood. As a consequence, my kids do not understand boredom either! Also from Yoda, "There is no 'try,' there is either do, or do not. So make sure you do!
Pat - you are speaking timeless, biblical wisdom. In fact, most of what you say fits into this category. For example - Proverbs 18:4 “A person’s words can be life giving water; words of true wisdom are as refreshing as a bubbling brook” Proverbs 18:20 “Wise speech is rarer and more valuable than gold and rubies” Proverbs 18:20 “Words satisfy the souls as much as food satisfies the stomach; the right words on a person’s lips bring satisfaction” Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life is in the power of the tongue And those who love it, will enjoy its fruits” Mathew 12:37 “For by your words you will be justified And by your words, you will be condemned” Patrick - excellent and insightful as always.
"Can't" is not a "Bad word" at all. I can't fly. I can't run at the speed of light. I can't pull my head off and then put it back in place. Words are neutral. It's the intention behind the words that matters. It's not the words, it's the beliefs that people hold.
I agree Christoper, I don't ever say the word Can't; because I do not want to put any word like that in my brain, thinking I can't I always want to know How can I accomplish this.
knowing ur limit is one of the greatest things in life im sure ur son cant do many things stop raising ur kids to believe they are special,and they can do everything just give them opportunities to explore and find smtn they like and persist
I went from being stuck on pain meds with nothing and owning my dealer and nowhere to live. To back on my feet, off pain medication, back in an apartment, 2 cars, a great job and now own my own house. Motivation and relentless dedication to bettering myself and my families life and being positive got me here. No excuse, it's on you. When you hit the bottom, as long as you're not dead, there's nowhere to go but up.
Thank you for this. There is so much power and strength in your words and actions that represent masculinity. Yet, you are discerning, empathetic, and were able to take ownership over your actions to develop a stronger relationship with your family. We need more men like this. It is encouraging.
simplicity is the best and smartest way to convey something especially words. People who use simple words are smarter than those who pretend to be smart using words they don't understand just to convey something they don't even know.
Mine does too. She also sighs a lot. I got annoyed at first and sometimes I still find myself getting annoyed when she does/ says these things but I just remember that her generation of people went through a lot physically as well as mentally and it's made them exhausted.
Very true - your mother must be exhausted. Before I had a child, I would NEVER use those words. I would train twice a day, compete in sport, work, train in gym daily, study and learn new things, and work on my own business at home. Once I had a child who never slept for more then 1 hour in the first year, and up to 3 hours in the second year (she still wakes up every night a few times and she is 2.5 yo), I put her to bed and work until 3-4am in the morning. I am too exhausted to get up in the morning at 8:30am, and feel like a bad role model - even though I'm not lazy. This is a good reminder to never use those words to my child regardless of what I feel.
Diana yes having children can challenge us in ways we never thought possible. Raising children is probably the most challenging task ever. I don’t have children but I’ve heard from every parent I know that it is quite a job and I believe you all! Blessings to you for taking it on I’m sure you will raise amazing people that will be a great contribution to the world ❤️
Words have the power to create or destroy, and should be used responsibly, because someone is always listening, even yourself, and embeds into your spirit or subconscious mind. You blessed and empowered my belief system. Thanks Patrick!
The guy I was dating kept saying how tired he was because of his hard job outside - I told I’m im tired of hearing him say he is tired as an excuse for everything and I left him! It was very depressing to hear he was too tired all the time!
I realize this is an old post but it is still very powerful today. I have 5 children and I agree that words are so very powerful! I remember to this day 40+ years ago something my dad said to me that always rubbed me the wrong way. I did something wrong- can’t even recall what it was- I said to my dad “I’m sorry, but you’re not perfect either” his response was “I’m damn close”. Through the years I’ve realized that none of us are damn close. We all fall short and should humble ourselves when appropriate. Bless you Patrick for recognizing the importance of noticing when we say something wrong and being the strong man you are to be a powerful role model to your son! Thank you for what you do .

This is crazy. Just the other day I realized I never say that I’m Tired, Exhausted, Burned Out, Drained…I workout all the time, still go to work, take care of the family, sleep very little hours, do it all again because I love moving…but although I feel like those words, I never say them. Now for me, the reason I never say them out loud is because once it escapes my mouth, I have them told the world what I feel, and therefore must act on that. But if I never share that, the world still thinks I got energy. And damn it. I do. I do still have energy. And words I use all the time are words like Fired Up, Pumped, Energized, Amped, etc. I always use words that empower me, rather than help me “settle for less”. So after watching this, I’m going to focus on it more, make a list, and find some new words to take away and replace. 🤙🏼
As an Assyrian man at 24, I thank God I saw that last name. Your words have cleaned the dust off of my old thoughts that lingered in the shadows of the back of my mind. And how you explained it and entailed it to reach me has given me the most excellent satisfaction and joy because I shared these ideas, but you have revived it back for me. So I say thank you and hope it reaches our people and everyone in this world. I'm looking forward to more videos like these.
Thank you for this. I've been sober 2.5 years now and I have been feeling stuck. I've gotten to a certain level in my life, but I know I can do better, be better, be further along my journey in life. But I've been spinning my wheels in the f'n' mud for many months now. Staying awake at night wondering why. I've caught myself feeling sorry for myself and stopped it in time to avoid possible relapse. What you have said in this video has opened my eyes ears and mind to fix my stinking thinking problem. The weight of the words I choose to use. Makes a difference. Also have to not let people build houses in my head. Thank you for this. My eyes are open and my ears are tuned once again. Thanks for letting me share this. Hopefully someone else reads this and is going through the same bad place I'm in. And they will know they are not alone. I'm going to take this advice and use it.
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO THAT YOU HAVE EVER MADE, IN MY OPINION. I NEEDED TO HEAR EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID.... YOUR INTERVIEWS ARE AMAZING BUT THIS PAT, REALLY HAD ME GLUED TO THE SCREEN..... AND FROM BROTHER TO BROTHER ( FORMER GREEN BERET ), I THANK YOU SIR!!
That is really true. I love bettering myself and when this video ended I instantly thought, “I wish there was more of these!” The “T” word is a good one! I agree with you 100%, I’ve never liked hearing it, but also never realized it was because of the WEIGHT it has behind it. It’s an energy sucker for sure! Thank Patrick!
A teacher of mine taught me somthing similar. He used to tell us never say "I can't", always say "I'll try". 30 years later it has stuck with me and its somthing I try to always pass on. Thank you for this - I hope it benefits many people.
Maan, this video really changed the way I look at words. He was talking about people Influencing other people's thoughts and lifestyle using certain words. I don't know about others, but you sure Influenced me with your words kind sir. Lot of respect. I'm happy I came across this video and I watched it!
A couple of years ago, I told my boss that I was tired of his bullshit of how he talked and treated co-workers and me. Today, I don't work for him. I seen the light and I am on my way to healing from being bullied. That was one time the word "tired" was positive for me. I was bullied in my army career and in civilian life. Today I'm free. God is good!
I wish my dad was like you man. My dad left when I was 4, and my step dad always treated me like shit. He said and did so many things that I still remember that affect me for years.
One of my childhood friends told me his Parents always told him there's no such word as 'can't ' and if you know him you can tell it worked. Great video and great message.
An incredible dad and son conversation. Thanks for sharing this to the world. I always wished I had a conversation with my dad. I suffered your sons 20 minutes suffering for the first 17 years of my life. I am waiting for my son or daughter, to come to this world to be the best father.
@@venuselectrificata Fortnite? The conversation would slightly be different in that case, I could imagine him responding by saying "u mad?" instead haha
I tested this out at 15 years old, and it fundamentally changed my life and who I became. I have not been applying these principles to my life, and I've been noticing that it's damaging me. And I know it's because of the lack of this principle. I've been aware, and this video confirmed that I need to return to this principle.
You LITERALLY had me sobbing. This was a message sorely needed -so simple but incredibly PROFOUND! This should be mandatory viewing in all schools. But schools have become tools to strip children of every spiritual tool they possess. Thank you for reminding me how powerful words really are
Patrick, once Again one of the most powerful videos ever, When ever I want to hear top quality content and not waste my time, I go to your channel first! God Bless you and your family.. Also please give a thank you to your great video producers who finish out your videos before they go live. Excellent work.
Hey Pat, thanks for helping me identify negativity that’s been robbing my spirit for a very long time. I’ve crossed off 15 toxic words and phrases. On the flip side thanks for the inspo to be confident. I told you a few days ago about a job interview. It was today and I felt really good about everything I saw and heard. They offered me the job! Positive change and momentum! I’m going for it!
@@arno7163 you missed the words "I am a sad loser who seeks advice from a narcissistic rich youtube man who spews me this great sounding bullshit that means literally nothing and also doesnt give a shit about me or my success"
@@xd-gm1mq Projecting much? Kinda pointless to go around self help video's insulting people. Besides looking at your channel you're mostly young, maybe you can try things and actually see if there's a difference. If not, move on. Grow up and learn
@@arno7163 I just dont really understand how using specific words instead of others just WORDS not talking about what your thoughts are or how you live your life will make you from a succesful business man to a heroin shooting junkie in 3 months. I think its quite manipulative to make such huge comparisons when in reality that would never happen and also to never really properly explain how it works and instead just shout stuff at you. I also think it can be very harmful to you if you are for example getting 4hrs a sleep every night and keep thinking "NO dont use the word tired I am not tired!" And then in result end up in a huge burnout. Sorry came off a bit rude but mostly because I was pissed at this dude and others like him because I truly dont get his point. Care to elaborate me?
@@xd-gm1mq Apology accepted, but yeah I can see where your point of view is. I think its a type of self-fulfilling prophecy or 'fake it til you make' thing, where if you use negative words when talking people associate you as a negative person and less likely or don't want to talk to you which makes things worse. Whereas saying being positive or comforting make people like you a it more. It can have an effect on your mind, for another example if you have depression and most off the time you have that feeling of depression its just going to make things worse in your head. It might make a small difference but small amounts could change a lot. Also words and how you say them is quite important. For example in a dance studio while giving advice, I got a bad reception/reaction when I pointed out what was wrong, what to improve and then said what I liked. But I changed it up to use the 'sandwich technique' where I give positive remarks followed by what was wrong, what to improve and finished with more positive notes. The reception I get to my critics was much better So I guess try this method, see if there's a difference and if its good continue or stop i not
Sir, you've become an inspiration for me today. I've been complacent of letting my mouth run wild for far too long. Self-depricating and being ungreatful to myself for the level of success that I've achieved. I've driven myself on a mindset of "impostor syndrome" as an excuse that something's just wrong with me, as if that is normal. Thank you for reminding me, that even God in the bible warns us of what words we speak with our tongues towards ourselves and to others. I feel like I can move on and start maturing this part of me. Thank you for this video!
Even stronger is when you say "I am" instead of "I'm" because it puts even more emphasis on it. And the reason what you said works is because now it's about our identitiy, what and who we are.
Which words do you need to stop using?
Later - right f***** now or ASAP! Actions, only actions!
I am stressing & I want to quit!!
'Maybe.'
"I don't know"...it should be "I will find out" or "I will learn"
“Let me....”

I have to say until 14 years old I felt like a victim, my step-dad my mother always acted like victims of something, what doesn't matter only when I saw people who have are actually successful even though they had worse lives like living in horrible conditions but they spoke like its the past and the past shouldnt hold you down and they got the success they deserved only then i turned stronger and slowly grew thicker skin, before id cry after every insult now i think why would say that and when I realize the reason I understand how they feel and let them think what they want
Majority of the Western World unfortunately...

Working with children as an art instructor taught me the value of words. After a few years of experience in capturing their attention and focus, I found a constructive way to promote positivity with enforcing the omission of the words ‘hate’ and ‘can’t’. This was a powerful transformation in the kids productivity and general tone of the whole class setting. Thank you for this great content sir!

Yes, it's important to guard our spirit. We must be careful what we see, hear and the thoughts we entertain. Thanks, Patrick!
Now what if you had your spirit going in the wrong direction, but you didn't realize it because you only had tunnel vision for you want to see, hear, and give thought to? What then? Is what Im typing right now currently something you don't want to entertain? I am currently being phased out from your "sprit radar", ignored? Or am I making sense? Maybe we should analyze all points of view and then make conclusions from a stance of understanding/reason, instead of having tunnel vision for what is let in.
Thanks!
"I'm being protective of my spirit". Thats the best thing I have EVER HEARD YOU SAY!!!
I’m so happy I found Patrick on RUclips. I didn’t know of his existence 6 months ago. He’s such a winner, and i love his messages to the world. He’s a great influencer in a time when we need them.
When I was in my early 20's I used to mutter "it must be nice" when I seen someone better off than me. I was a bitter person, hated everything in the world, a hot head. Then one day after thinking to myself I realized its not fair for me to judge those who seemed to be well off and had it easy or had all the nice things, I don't know what they went through to have those things or be in those positions. That was the 1st time I was truly free and slowly started getting building my self up. I slipped backwards a few times but I always took two steps more than I lost. To this day nearly 15 years latter I still don't say the phrase. I'm over all happy, have a family and not too bad finically. It is nice.
I'm glad I watched this today. I forget how impressionable a child's mind can be.

My wife and I have literally manifested every major goal we come up with each year without even thinking about it. We put it on our dream board in dry erase marker and hang it on the wall. In 4 years we have literally moved mountains. All we do is set out focus, pray every single night before dinner, and no matter what all of our goals magically happen before our eyes. Attitude, intention, and stubbornness are all virtues.
This is so true. My dad used to call me a loser, good for nothing etc etc ... over and over again. At first I didn't accept that, but later I did (unfortunately begin to accept it) ... I let those words have power. It is unfortunate, but ultimately we have the power. WORDS ARE DEFINITELY POWERFUL.

My son was born Jan 17 2012. 6 week premature, and 2 weeks in NICU. Your relationship with your son and me and my son are very close. I admit my mistakes to him. I hate when I let my tongue slip. However I can’t let my pride get in the way of my relationship with him. I strive to be a great example. So admitting I let anger in my speech I want him to see that I am not perfect and am responsible for my words. I also tell him that I love him every chance I get. Thank you for telling that story, makes us all feel human. As far as the rest of the video, priceless.
Patrick , this really got me. Growing up my mom has a negative impression of the male species. She would say unkind words about my father which I tended to block out. Because exactly as you said about your father I didn’t want to hear it and wanted to treat people as individuals. That thought process still serves me until today. I think I speak for everyone here when I say ,thank you for an insightful reminder that we are stronger than we think.🥰.

So true !
You are so right about the power of words. I hate when people say “I can’t…” My response is either “Can’t never could or you won’t be able to if you keep saying you can’t. “
Truthfully I don’t always agree with what you say in your videos but this one popped up in a weird time of my life. I was shot in the leg by a stray bullet on 7/31/22 in downtown Orlando I was one of seven shot. I’m thankful I’m alive and my leg has recovered. But my mental state has been very bad, I felt like a victim, I missed time at work, and when I returned it’s been an uphill battle (I work in sales) but this video is spot on. I won’t talk down to my self, call myself an idiot, or say that I’m useless anymore. I’ll take care of myself and I will implement this and protect my spirit and become an elite version of myself. The only way is up from here.
This was surely powerful. I always thought not being able to tolerate such words was a problem only I had. Seeing a person like him saying he doesn't like to hear it brings me confidence to give a stop to it.
Absolutely 😊

I agree in part.
You've laid out an excellent argument as to why you shouldn't say certain words or phrases. I think I'm going to start doing this myself.
However, when I hear you saying that "I don't want to hear that" that's something I don't want to say. I want to be strong enough that I can hear whatever anyone says and can overpower, perhaps even persuade them of the opposite belief.
There are things that I will not say, but there is nothing that I will exclude myself from hearing. I find it more important to discover truth I didn't know from other people than it is to be misled with their lies. If I'm mislead, then at least I can take responsibility for that. However, if I shut someone down and discouraged them from speaking not only would I not benefit, but everyone else around me--if for no other reason than for an opportunity to prove what they say to be untrue.
I am completely and utterly opposed to any kind of censorship for any reason because censorship is only needed by people who do not aim to align themselves 100% to the truth.
Unbelievable self awareness, your son is lucky to have you as a father.

This is one of the most powerful, life-changing videos I've seen on the internet. I've always chosen to be positive in my life but this really adds some power and emotional "why" to it. The part about refusing to be a victim should be seen by a lot of people. Being a victim is a choice in how you react to life's events. Too many people in our society are walking around looking for reasons to be offended or feel victimized.
Exactly! early in life I talked to my kids about not being tired nor bored, you will never hear those words from them.
Domingo De Anda My late grandfather used to say “boring people get bored” as you can imagine, I never use it. When people tell me they are bored, I tell them this. The change in them is instant. 👍😀
Excellent to hear! I'm fifty-six now and I've always said throughout my life "I have never suffered from boredom." It's never been a word or concept I've every understood. As a consequence, my kids do not understand boredom either! Also from Yoda, "There is no 'try,' there is either do, or do not. So make sure you do!
Pat - you are speaking timeless, biblical wisdom. In fact, most of what you say fits into this category. For example -
Proverbs 18:4
“A person’s words can be life giving water; words of true wisdom are as refreshing as a bubbling brook”
Proverbs 18:20
“Wise speech is rarer and more valuable than gold and rubies”
Proverbs 18:20
“Words satisfy the souls as much as food satisfies the stomach; the right words on a person’s lips bring satisfaction”
Proverbs 18:21
“Death and life is in the power of the tongue
And those who love it, will enjoy its fruits”
Mathew 12:37
“For by your words you will be justified
And by your words, you will be condemned”
Patrick - excellent and insightful as always.
Man, one of the best things that happened to me this year was to find this channel. I truly wish to have found it sooner.
another word I dont like is CANT. I teach my son CAN'T is a bad word
"Can't" is not a "Bad word" at all. I can't fly. I can't run at the speed of light. I can't pull my head off and then put it back in place. Words are neutral. It's the intention behind the words that matters. It's not the words, it's the beliefs that people hold.
Can't Vs Don't Want To = there's a difference
I agree Christoper, I don't ever say the word Can't; because I do not want to put any word like that in my brain, thinking I can't I always want to know How can I accomplish this.
knowing ur limit is one of the greatest things in life im sure ur son cant do many things stop raising ur kids to believe they are special,and they can do everything just give them opportunities to explore and find smtn they like and persist
I went from being stuck on pain meds with nothing and owning my dealer and nowhere to live. To back on my feet, off pain medication, back in an apartment, 2 cars, a great job and now own my own house. Motivation and relentless dedication to bettering myself and my families life and being positive got me here. No excuse, it's on you. When you hit the bottom, as long as you're not dead, there's nowhere to go but up.
Thank you for this. There is so much power and strength in your words and actions that represent masculinity. Yet, you are discerning, empathetic, and were able to take ownership over your actions to develop a stronger relationship with your family. We need more men like this. It is encouraging.
simplicity is the best and smartest way to convey something especially words. People who use simple words are smarter than those who pretend to be smart using words they don't understand just to convey something they don't even know.
Omg my mom talked about being tired everyday growing up. This video speaks to my soul!!
Mine does too. She also sighs a lot. I got annoyed at first and sometimes I still find myself getting annoyed when she does/ says these things but I just remember that her generation of people went through a lot physically as well as mentally and it's made them exhausted.
Very true - your mother must be exhausted. Before I had a child, I would NEVER use those words. I would train twice a day, compete in sport, work, train in gym daily, study and learn new things, and work on my own business at home. Once I had a child who never slept for more then 1 hour in the first year, and up to 3 hours in the second year (she still wakes up every night a few times and she is 2.5 yo), I put her to bed and work until 3-4am in the morning. I am too exhausted to get up in the morning at 8:30am, and feel like a bad role model - even though I'm not lazy. This is a good reminder to never use those words to my child regardless of what I feel.
Diana yes having children can challenge us in ways we never thought possible. Raising children is probably the most challenging task ever. I don’t have children but I’ve heard from every parent I know that it is quite a job and I believe you all! Blessings to you for taking it on I’m sure you will raise amazing people that will be a great contribution to the world ❤️
Words have the power to create or destroy, and should be used responsibly, because someone is always listening, even yourself, and embeds into your spirit or subconscious mind. You blessed and empowered my belief system. Thanks Patrick!
The guy I was dating kept saying how tired he was because of his hard job outside - I told I’m im tired of hearing him say he is tired as an excuse for everything and I left him! It was very depressing to hear he was too tired all the time!

I realize this is an old post but it is still very powerful today. I have 5 children and I agree that words are so very powerful! I remember to this day 40+ years ago something my dad said to me that always rubbed me the wrong way. I did something wrong- can’t even recall what it was- I said to my dad “I’m sorry, but you’re not perfect either” his response was “I’m damn close”. Through the years I’ve realized that none of us are damn close. We all fall short and should humble ourselves when appropriate. Bless you Patrick for recognizing the importance of noticing when we say something wrong and being the strong man you are to be a powerful role model to your son! Thank you for what you do .

Pat since my dad passed 7 years ago, I’ve missed talks like this. Your words on words meant a lot to me. Needed to hear it.
This is powerful. Thank you Pat. I'm going to start protecting my spirit and my family's spirit - now. I'm ditching some words!
This is crazy. Just the other day I realized I never say that I’m Tired, Exhausted, Burned Out, Drained…I workout all the time, still go to work, take care of the family, sleep very little hours, do it all again because I love moving…but although I feel like those words, I never say them. Now for me, the reason I never say them out loud is because once it escapes my mouth, I have them told the world what I feel, and therefore must act on that. But if I never share that, the world still thinks I got energy. And damn it. I do. I do still have energy. And words I use all the time are words like Fired Up, Pumped, Energized, Amped, etc. I always use words that empower me, rather than help me “settle for less”.
So after watching this, I’m going to focus on it more, make a list, and find some new words to take away and replace.

@@arno7163 I just dont really understand how using specific words instead of others just WORDS not talking about what your thoughts are or how you live your life will make you from a succesful business man to a heroin shooting junkie in 3 months. I think its quite manipulative to make such huge comparisons when in reality that would never happen and also to never really properly explain how it works and instead just shout stuff at you. I also think it can be very harmful to you if you are for example getting 4hrs a sleep every night and keep thinking "NO dont use the word tired I am not tired!" And then in result end up in a huge burnout. Sorry came off a bit rude but mostly because I was pissed at this dude and others like him because I truly dont get his point. Care to elaborate me?
@@xd-gm1mq Apology accepted, but yeah I can see where your point of view is.
I think its a type of self-fulfilling prophecy or 'fake it til you make' thing, where if you use negative words when talking people associate you as a negative person and less likely or don't want to talk to you which makes things worse.
Whereas saying being positive or comforting make people like you a it more. It can have an effect on your mind, for another example if you have depression and most off the time you have that feeling of depression its just going to make things worse in your head.
It might make a small difference but small amounts could change a lot. Also words and how you say them is quite important. For example in a dance studio while giving advice, I got a bad reception/reaction when I pointed out what was wrong, what to improve and then said what I liked.
But I changed it up to use the 'sandwich technique' where I give positive remarks followed by what was wrong, what to improve and finished with more positive notes. The reception I get to my critics was much better
So I guess try this method, see if there's a difference and if its good continue or stop i not
Sir, you've become an inspiration for me today. I've been complacent of letting my mouth run wild for far too long. Self-depricating and being ungreatful to myself for the level of success that I've achieved. I've driven myself on a mindset of "impostor syndrome" as an excuse that something's just wrong with me, as if that is normal. Thank you for reminding me, that even God in the bible warns us of what words we speak with our tongues towards ourselves and to others. I feel like I can move on and start maturing this part of me. Thank you for this video!
“The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.”
Proverbs 18:21 NLT
Saying "I don't want to do this" are weak words, powerful words are "I'm not doing this".
Even stronger is when you say "I am" instead of "I'm" because it puts even more emphasis on it. And the reason what you said works is because now it's about our identitiy, what and who we are.
