I wholeheartedly agree. We often rationalize our own behavior, but judge others harshly for their mistakes. Sadly, it's hard to get away or "deny access" to people who mistreat you when you live together... It's rough
How I think about giving grace to others is by reflecting on myself. If I am upset with someone for some small reason that was truly a mistake or an act upon emotion, I would want them to give me grace if I had made the same mistake. Also I look to Jesus! And how he’s giving us an immense amount of grace when we don’t deserve it.
i really appreciate the moment of relaxing in your videos. i’ve been having a rough few nights of not being able to sleep and that tiny second just helped me be slightly relieved. thanks for the content you create.
David Larbi you got an amazing soul man. I have gone through a lot in life at an early age dealt with a lot of loss and grief, and your page is a breath of fresh air. The content you make has put me in a healing state and more receptive towards change. I remember in one of your videos you talked about your mom saying your body can sense when you need change in order to grow and trust me I feel it. Thanks for inspiring me for the better and I hope you continue to do what you do to help everyone as the way you did for me. Thanks man!
This gave me a huge lift when I really needed it! Thank you so much for your kindness and your strength, I wish you all the best in making the changes you want!🙏🏿
I need to tell you that what you are making is a "grace-full" thing to me, and i don't know you but you have something that got me since the 75 hard video. So thanks men, keep going and you have a golden heart for been able to post some of your thoughts on RUclips :-)
I came across this video immediately after praying for clarity on why I feel uncomfortable with certain friends, and why I feel the need to reflect on my life so much deeper now than ever. Believe it or not, your intro did exactly that with just a few sentences. I really love your channel as well, keep up the good work! ❤️
Thank you so much for posting this video. I really resonated with what you were saying, and I started crying when you did. Last week, a friend told me that they no longer wanted to be my friend. My actions toward them caused them a great deal of pain. At first I was devastated. I couldn’t believe that actions I thought was just friends talking and being with each other were hurtful to them. I always thought of myself as a good person. Then I was angry, because they didn’t give me the grace of accepting that my actions and words were never meant to hurt them. I always apologized if I felt I did wrong. I thought, if they were really my friend, they would have asked me to stop what I was doing and address the issue with me. I knew they weren’t a confrontational person, but I was also raised to speak up when something is wrong, which is not how everyone operates. I was mad that they never made an effort to talk through our issues together. Now I know that everyone is different and in different phases of our lives and that this is the end for our journey. It will teach me to look more inwardly on my actions and how they can be perceived by other people, but also that my core values will not align with everyone that I met, and I should not try to force a friendship with those people. A quote that I think back on is, “People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime”, and I must accept it for what it is.
I struggle with a lot of things as it is, but I'm really glad I came across your Instagram, and had led me here...let's all be graceful in our own little way
very beautiful video! you genuinely touched my soul. you’ve articulated this whole video so beautifully, but 10:28 - 12:00 resonated with me beyond measure. thank you for making me feel seen
Sorry for this being my first comment, but: I wish I could cry and talk at the same time, that could have saved me from a lot of situations 😅 P.S: I really like listening/watching your videos :)
Yooooo, the video.podcast gives PERSPECTIVE!😂 I've been listening on Google podcasts, mainly cuz I can do other things while just listening to just audio. But I might just start watching on here🫶

It's most certainly not easy! I'm still learning!

Beautiful!
The problem is other people mistake grace as the opportunity to keep making the same mistakes without consequences
Very true, that's when we have every right to distance and protect ourselves!

I'm so glad it's helped even if slightly, and I hope the nights get easier!

Thank you so much, your words really mean a lot to me!
David!
Firstly, your articulation and clarity
And then your grace!

Thank you so much for such a lovely comment!
Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thank you for being vulnerable, thank you for being real, thank you for being YOU. ❤
Thank you for watching, thank you for affirming, thank you for your kindness!
That if why sometimes I take time to try to put myself in others shoes to see if I would act the same way given different circumstances.
Very important and definitely a skill I'm working on!
