Discomfort is the best place to be if you are really about living a fulfilling life, discomfort is that friend that pushes you to evolve and level up your life by showing you your flaws and when you know your flaws you can work towards getting rid of them and when you get rid of those flaws you evolve and just like a videogame, when you level up there's also new obstacles that come, and you ain't passing through those obstacles with comfort, you will only pass them with discomfort, doing what you don't feel like doing but you know you should be doing will make you thank yourself in the future when you see the fruits of your labor. Be comfortable in the uncomfortable
@@PureColumbianCocainum1949 This is not brainwashing, so many people pray to Christ and believe in Christ such as me so respect peoples religions you’re not open minded person
I just want to say I really really appreciate the videos you put out. As a person struggling to express myself and going through the darkest time of my life, these videos hit real close to home for me and give me inspiration and hope. Thank you.
You got this man, I know life can beat you down, and it might seem hopeless, but you have a light inside that deserves to be seen by others. Express it fully, and just take it day by day. We're all rooting for you homie 🙏
My dad used to always tell me that there are mountains and valleys in life. When you're in the valley, you can't see the mountain. Your view is obscured by trees. But when you get to the top of the mountain you can see the whole valley and the path that led you to where you are. So keep chugging along man, you'll find that mountain sooner or later.
Still working it. Still pushing it. Still appreciating it. It can be a battle with myself and reality. I have had the vision. Seen it happening in my dreams, but it can be a weight that pulls me down. Thank you for this interview. Nothing but respect for J. Cole.+(+(+(+(+(
not sure if you’ll ever see this somehow just know. these videos are honestly what the world needs. too many creative people are being silenced because of there own fears. thank you for these videos they truly and whole heartedly helped so much. as a artist just hearing from another artist doesn’t even have to be the same style or same genres it connects and helps so much. now if you’re reading this as a random person scrolling through comments, i wish you the best in what ever your creative adventure is. you’re doing great💙 keep your head up and keep MAKING NEW STUFF:)
J.Cole is so inspirational for real I even got a poster of his album 2014 Forest Hills Drive & the notorious B.I.G - ready to die hanging up in my closet they both are my inspirations of hip hop music.
J Cole your story is so fucking real. That meditation shit is like medicine. And I promise there will be a day where you and I collaborate. We're gonna do this shit dog. I stay in Portland OR and I'm telling you when you just said fuck being broke and pawning shit just to scrape enough money to get by or feed a habit or eat or whatever the fuck we as people feel we have to do just to keep money in our pocket I literally took a step back mentally and was like wow millions are in my future. I can't wait to see you bro
I’m not trying to be an artist or anything. But this advice is helping me stay focused for the classes I’m taking. Really trying to get this job and I always get nervous when it comes to academics.
Cant stress enough the potential this channel has & resources it’ll bring to creatives. Keep doing this work & making it a better world to create in brother
I never thought someone could inspire me after EMINEM. EM’ made me who I am today, He made me start rapping, he made me put out music, he made me fight my demons, I thought no one could inspire me like him ,and then I came across Cole. He inspired me a lot and still does. He made me think, he made me go beyond my potential, he made me believe that in this new gen and trap/drill , Lean, Xannies, Perc rap, someone can still spit bars and be cool and respected. I love this man so much. Still EMINEM cannot be replaced. ❤️
Not gonna lie. Kinda thought about quitting this week. Just rejection after rejection after rejection just started to pile on in my head. I would say this helped me get out but…it just me question myself yknow?
I’m forever thankful for being GHOSTED . I already forgive that person , it taught me so much about myself. Cheers to being UNCOMFORTABLE AF AND HEARTBROKEN. May the tears that fall grow fields of prosperity.
This journey revealed a lot.. Most importantly.. Those who do jobs that the middle class(upper and lower) + the upper class would never do because of you know their status... Mean nothing to them. Yaani.. Watu maskini ni useless tu.. But you need them to do the dirty work for you so that you bling, eat, drive, make up your face to look fly eh... Kazi hizi zenye someone like you can not do is useless to you sindio. Haiya. The meek shall inherit the earth... Wale wakuenda mbinguni.. Mtachelewa... Munapanda ndege /gari/train saa ngapi na lini? tuwafulie manguo, tuwaoshee nyumba eh.. We are ready to sweat... So that you make it to heaven. We just want earth. 😊
I think one of my main problems is I lost so many of my songs I think I could have been one of the greats I really think that but getting older made me lose a lot of my drive. I wish there was a like a group for creatives to feed off each other and actually work together. I have a friend and he already has 32 albums or something like that. I've written that amount of songs in my life myself but I lost a lot of them. And then I think I realized something not that long ago I think it was last year. Struggle creates desire to do better, comfort creates complacency. I know for me all I ever wanna do is play my video games and I'm never satisfied. Sometimes it depresses me to think that the hundreds of songs I have on my phone is going to be the only legacy that I could leave on this world. And the thought of them being deleted fills my heart with incredible sadness.
Seek out those friends and collaborators, locally and/or with other ties! We're just starting to work on this kind of a community that you describe, so you (and others) can try us too... Follow your dreams while working through that discomfort (and comfort, as he says at the end. ;)
tbh im 30 man i wish i had to make music when i was 20 but i realize now that life isnt forever i got a message to put out before my timeline so i applore anyone thats young to start now making music and to fight to get better as i am now.
filming the raid: especially the call of duty outfit kicking the back door knowing he's kicking it's way in is the best event with chaotic military precision gone wrong
Level up and evolve that's our mission in life, by surrounding yourself with positive outgoing people you'll soon see your dreams start to come to life. ✌️❤
That’s crazy you used that first clip of Cole in the beginning because I titled my entire first album “UNTURNED” just because of that scene in the documentary
Well one way is making up your own mind,instead of someone making it up for you,its people that plant the seed of doubt with there opinions,tend to your own garden and you will eat much better peace 😊
Plus as I have gotten older I rarely think I'm any good. I always would ask my friend who records and produces what they think of various songs I wrote throughout the years. And they would always say how sick/ill/gifted/ect. I was. Now, when I ask him he just says "it doesn't matter what I think, it only matters what you think". But my opinion of myself varies frequently.
Been listening to what j cole has to say more lately. I see him as one of the best influencers when it comes to practicing mindfulness, while also aggressively attacking and achieving goals and handling family responsibilities. Shit, I’m 30 and haven’t achieved shit 😂
This is truly a wonderful channel. Than you so much for seriously taking the time to capture artists' minds and thoughts. It is motivational to the core!
This right here is why I love cole more as a person and not as a artist cuz he just spoke to me in a way I couldn’t explain if I ever meet bro ima tell him im proud of him cuz wtf 🤧

Youre wise, keep it up man gonna write this down somewhere you helped so many people with this comment !!!
"No time to chill, I'm tryna get mills" fire quote by J.Cole
I get goosebumps every time I hear him say that
Til infinity 🫡
Meditation is seriously the key to life, please don't underestimate it yall
Praying to Christ* is the key to life
@@HowieRaps Nope. Not everyone feels like brainwashing themselves. I'll stick to meditation.
THATS RIGHT!!

J Cole is so smart and well spoken.
J. Cole is a masterclass in „expressing yourself and your struggle“ on his own.
I just want to say I really really appreciate the videos you put out. As a person struggling to express myself and going through the darkest time of my life, these videos hit real close to home for me and give me inspiration and hope. Thank you.

@@currentfps160 thank you for the kind words man.
J. Cole one of the smartest rappers to ever do it
A man who doesn’t “shortcut” family time and respects it 👏👏🙌✨ A real Man.
Still working it.
Still pushing it.
Still appreciating it.
It can be a battle with myself and reality.
I have had the vision. Seen it happening in my dreams, but it can be a weight that pulls me down.
Thank you for this interview. Nothing but respect for J. Cole.+(+(+(+(+(
If you appreciate good music check me out you will be surprised I promise!! ❤❤
Get uncomfortable and get to it 🔥 comfort can be a subtle poison (for those of us who haven't reached our goals or peak yet)
Im a student , I have been watching these motivational videos "J cole" and they helped me alot 🎉🎉
This channel always comes in clutch with the extra motivation.

I don’t know if you know this but j cole shaped his follow after him 🖤
I love that “fight the comfort” “crossroads “ that happens several times in life , I feel like it’s true people stay in their zone.

4yeo. That song. King of storytelling.
everytime i meditated and used the law of attraction and just affirming my reality i released music aswell or played shows
Listening to this at eight in the morning makes me really grateful for a lot of things :,) keep making art the way you do, it’s truly a gift! 🙌🏽🧡

@@TheJudeJane you right lol wrong choice of words but you get my concept right?
i don’t want this channel to end.

I was literally praying to god for inspiration and this video was suggested by the algorithm

This shit what every artist need to hear this morning ! Love Jcole
Most underrated RUclips channel rn
That’s crazy you used that first clip of Cole in the beginning because I titled my entire first album “UNTURNED” just because of that scene in the documentary
This channel is a true gem
J Cole the Truth!
Always gravitated to your message and think your the most lyrical out.
i feel i meditate while i just walk i can somehow go into autopilot and just think
Well one way is making up your own mind,instead of someone making it up for you,its people that plant the seed of doubt with there opinions,tend to your own garden and you will eat much better peace 😊
