It shows an analysis of her video from another creator and I went to check her content out. With her subscribers growing and ppl like us who keep commenting and liking her videos, no wonder.
"Give yourself permission. Don't dent the world your contribution." Singlehandedly some of the most motivating lines I've ever heard, even more than what I've heard from other professionals (not to rag on those professionals though). Thank you so much for this video :]
I don’t know why but your video is so therapeutic that made me tear up. I got affected by layoffs a month ago and I went through ups and downs and now I’m feeling exactly what you went through. When I was working I didn’t feel this way at all. My mentality was pretty strong because I truly loved what I’m doing. The only time I had difficult time was when there were people who’s being resistant to the positive change that I’m trying to make. And after watching your video I just realized that I was being like that to myself! I was the person who’s making me to go through hard time. This is the best insight that I gained most recently. Thank you for tackling this topic on your video. I support you to talk about these type of topics because it’s so helpful for people who’s going through layoffs and unexpected challenging moment. *I also highly recommend this book called Creative Confidence by Tom and David Kelly for everyone!*
Definitely this was a video I needed. I have just graduated and got into 2 jobs. My first one was into Accounting where I felt like I didn't know anything when I saw the amount of workload and the work. I was feeling like giving up constantly and my confidence went super low. I left the job the next day and everyone started calling me stupid for doing that. The second job I started in Equity Research which I enjoyed but, whenever I started getting stuck I started being skeptic about my skills and then started getting demotivated and eventually I left that job as well after a week. I am so confused why this kept on happening but I am glad to see someone facing with the same issues and now I know how to tackle it.
Hello! Ur not alone. I love aviation. I wanna become a pilot someday. So 2021 i got into this WFH job. Lasted 2 months i quit 2023 joined a cafe. Lasted a week , i quit Im working as a Airport Service Agent now and truly miss my family. My perception of aviation just changed. The job is great. I love what i do but this isn’t exactly where i want to be. The only downside is i miss my family so so so much. Now im contemplating to quit or not. Also i wanna pursue utubing cus im good at video making
Yunno that cozy and fuzzy feeling you get when it’s raining and you’re curled up comfortably in your bed smelling the rain and enjoying just ‘being’…. That’s the feeling I get when I watch your videos 🩵
The widest shot in the park with the big tree and the shifting light was really really cool. Something strangely pleasing about the soccer goals lining up evenly also. Very nice video, topic, and good vibes. Good luck with your next script! I struggle with it a lot too. My experience recently is that the best ideas seem to drop into your mind just at that moment after you've pretty much given up. I'm not sure who told me that would happen, but they were right. It's all part of the process even when it's so painful some days.
I’m 43 and I used to be a risk taker in my 20s I feel like I started doubting myself too much now, so I’ve been healing this myself, anyway just wanted to say that it is refreshing to find this in younger generations, you inspire others beyond any age, thank you! 🙏🏽
I really needed to hear this. Thank you Riza. Been on a big slump the last year... this is a big reassurance to step back into a creative space. Much love from LA!
I just came across your channel a few days ago. After consecutively watching your videos and listening to what you have to say, I just can't help but keep coming back. Truthfully, I've been watching videos like this hoping for a spark to reignite the passions I’ve lost. It's very hard, especially when time is running so fast and I still don't know where I am going with my life. I am not very good at expressing myself, but the things you say and show resonates a lot to what I am currently feeling. Your videos just gives me a great amount of comfort. Just the thought that I am not alone and that there is someone out there who knows and understands what I feel is enough to keep me going. You are a great storyteller and you don't know how much your videos inspire me to keep moving forward and keep trying to figure life out. Thank you!
Been stuck in the biggest rut for months. Felt/Feel very lost and like i was/am in a Identity crisis,, slowly tho i‘m trying to be kind to myself and try again so this Video helps me a lot to understand specific patterns. Thank u sm riza
I just came across your videos recently, and honestly I don't think the universe could've timed it any better. I'm currently in the chapter of my life where I'm giving myself permission to be creative, to be free, to allow myself to be me and watching these videos have been constant motivation and reminders of that dream. The story telling and film style keeps me hooked and the videos are never too long because somehow you manage to completely say so much, so effectively in 10 minutes or less. I hope that one day I can make videos and influence people in the way you do. 💕
I‘m currently reading The Practice by Seth Godin and it really fits well with this video. A lot of the points you said go hand in hand with what Seth wrote in that book
When I used to study or work in my art studio I figured a couple of things out. It’s distraction, which are all the things you mentioned at the start. I’d put on headphones with classical or something rhythmic to distract the front of my brain that was where all the distracting thoughts were manifesting. Lyrics in song were no good, they demanded my attention. But the music on its own, I could focus for hours on what I needed to do, with some breaks in between. Getting started is always hard. But this helps. How well, was determined by how long, often I’d be into it straight away, at worst, a couple of hours on a 5 hour study stint. I’m an artist, just sitting down to do it was not enough, finding my way into a work was the practice.
Apart from the perfect storyline, the narrative, the art direction, I came across your vid at the perfect timing for me. Thank you…for this beautiful work. I “give myself permission” to immediately subscribe!
thank you, as I've been discovering day to day my insistence = resistance... also that I'm the only one holding myself back and truly judging myself. quite the paradox, time to be free. ;)
So relatable - I so struggle with this. The ups are so high, and the lows are so low. Both are a whirlwind and leveling out is a huge challenge for creators!
I really needed to hear this, I have so much to share, so many tales to tell, but I dont even start. I feel I am just staring life pass by, without taking action, thanks for the gentle enlightening reminder
omg I feel exactly what you are feeling, I just quit my nicely established 9am-10pm job from US Tiktok to start my youtube career as a camper van travel content creator, but just shooting my video alone yesterday.. felt very tiring.. altho now I'm editing it, I feel its good, the hard work is worth while and I think I'll be able to make a video I'm proud of from those footages
I have dream and I would still be avoiding working on this dream as long as I remember. But this year I said "no" and this video gave me the last push I needed. Thank you
Thanks! I really needed to hear this right now. I'm struggling to get back to my creative dreams after a 20 year detour as a mom. I've been holding them in for so long. Your videos are beautifully done and very inspirational.
Came across your channel this week! And I’m so glad I did! I’m excited to read War of Art now, I had heard about it last week from another filmmaker’s video, Luc Forsyth, and this was a great reminder
i recently watched some of your videos and learnt a lotts but as soon as i realized that there is enough to purchased for being content creator. I love the way you describe each and every topic with help of creative visual sequence 😊😊
You are absolutely right, this is such an important topic! That is one of my favorite books, and yeah it's not like you read it and then you're cured, it's a constant struggle. Great video as always!
Watching this felt like I was spilling all my thoughts out on the table… it’s so relatable to me as a video freelancer myself. I wish I could talk to people who understood this more but most don’t really get it. It’s interesting to see Toronto through your lens! Keep up the great work! Hope we can someday work together and pick your brain a bit more lol
Déjà vu. This is actually how I’ve been feeling and thinking about my future! 🌎 I recently just had surgery July 19th! And It’s 2021. I’m 31 years old and I’ve been battling SLE for the past 10 years of my life. I’m starting to realize that life is short! I just want to follow my Real Passion! I’m an Artist and an ♈️! Thank you for making my day! 🕉🤙🏽🧘🏽♂️
Good morning Riza🌞. My apologies for not mentioning you… Reading these over again. You probably think that I am selfish. I should have thanked your cinematographer! I’m Currently at my Mother’s apartment. And I’m getting ready to attend her 35th high school reunion today around 11:30 AM at a Local State Park 🥾🏕. I Admire your motivational videos. I hope you’ll forgive me for being a 🔥 sign 🧯😬
2 years later and you’re still making an impact ✨ “Give yourself permission. Don’t deny the work your contribution.” I needed to hear this 💌 I’m glad that I stumbled across your video. The cinematography & storyline is so breathtaking and relevant . Thank you for sharing your art, one of your contributions, with the world. 💫
You have a very soothing voice. You could narrate a relaxation or sleep audio recording. I almost instantly fell asleep from the soothing nature of the voice.
Thanks for summing it up and sharing this with us. Because this is something I’ve been facing for a long time but couldn’t pin point to what was happening, so there wasn’t any solution that was working for me.
Thank you. Thank you for taking the time to express yourself and your perspective in such a thoughtful way. Your storytelling makes me consider the alternative point of view on subjects that I've been pondering for years myself, and it's refreshing! Have a great summer.
Hello! I just discovered your channel through another RUclipsr sharing how he has learned from your channel. I am impressed by your creativity. You are amazingly talented and I am hooked! Keep doing you!!! Thanks for sharing yourself. Robyn
Another great video… and about a great book too 😊 Loving the channel. Your shots are so thoughtfully done and seem so effortlessly produced. Keep up the great work! Also, is that a new M1 iMac I see….?! Congrats!
Resistance, you felt it was something only you go through. Ha, I am going through it right now. I also get the feeling that I am alone in that/this situation sometimes. I'm glad I chanced upon this video.
thankyou so much for this. it feels like a comforting hug for my conscience when i needed it the most. so absorbing. it felt like you took the crumple in my brain and delicately untwined it, thankyou. looking forward to more such stories from you and learning from them, keep it up beautiful!
This video is so good. Thank you for sharing. I am a content creator and I'm balancing between making the best content vs being myself and posting in a timely manner
To be honest, I have so much creativity and innovations that benefits the world so much that its needed for the next challenge of what is really important but I never bring it to a concept or a product at all. I stress myself of not doing it and or doing something I really do and blame myself for it. Seriously, it gave me headache and sadness that I lost myself in the process. It is been ongoing for now 3-7 years. Since its a new year, I thought to try a new challenge of what you said give yourself permission. To create to dream to achieve what your hearts desire. I'm also want to make a career on RUclips as you but the voices in my head say otherwise but I taking steps, also an filmmaker and painter. Again, just give yourself permission. Riza, your videos are unique of how you talk but also your cinematography makes it you. Happy new Year
Your films are amazing. The way you shot, the color, the storytelling and the composition, everything is just 👌🏻 By the way, You really inspire me to start to do something again, something i stopped long time ago. Thank you so much.
“...and it wasn’t even the work itself that was hard. It was mostly just the process of sitting down and starting and then to keep going” I can truly relate to this. I am currently transitioning from corporate to freelance. I am really grateful to do the things that i truly love (esp that i follow my own schedule now 😅) but the down side is that maybe i got too used to following one that i feel overwhelmed with ALL the things i wanna do. Sometimes i mix up things from WANT TO DO and NEEDS TO BE DONE even if i am truly aware that i cannot do everything at ones haha and yeah those days that i struggle to stay in the zone. The tragic moment of having lots of ideas all night but struggles to actually execute everything (may it be my own project or for my clients). And i end up procrastinating then get exhausted. It’s really overwhelming. This is what i’m trying to overcome with....slowly 😅 Would love to read that book now. Thank you for this video, Riza. Take care! - Esan
I totally went through that when I first got into freelance, like almost exactly!! If you end up reading the book I hope it'll help you with that transition, it helped me get focused on getting things done and my mindset when it came to being on my own schedule. Good luck! 💛 x
I stumbled upon Ethan Hawke’s TED video a while ago and remembered being struck by it for days! I kept on repeating, rewatching the video just to remember all the wonderful things he said about creativity and not shying away from it. Your video made me remember that same feeling. Thank you!
Wow! What a great video!! I’m new to your channel and I’m astonished by how beautifully structured and produced this video is👏🏼 Thank you for sharing your insights!
Your videos are so well made, I get lost in the beauty of the shots and then I forget to process what you're saying. Then I need to rewatch, but it happens again :p
YOUR STORYTELLING AND FILMOGRAPHY IS JUST BEYOND! AND YOUR VIDEOS INSPIRE ME SO MUCH!!!!✨
Her face is beyond and inspires me to be prettier
I still cannot understand why your channel hasn't blown up. The quality of your videos and your messages are spectacular!
It is now, algorithm is showing her a lot rn just found her yesterday and it seems looking at new comments a lot of people are shown this
algorithm showed her to me today and wow! i’m hooked
It was just a matter of time
It shows an analysis of her video from another creator and I went to check her content out. With her subscribers growing and ppl like us who keep commenting and liking her videos, no wonder.
"Give yourself permission.
Don't dent the world your contribution."
Singlehandedly some of the most motivating lines I've ever heard, even more than what I've heard from other professionals (not to rag on those professionals though). Thank you so much for this video :]
What does it mean to give yourself permission. It's very vague
Girl this made me cry! Beautifully done, and came at the right time
Glad you could relate 🥺💛 thank you !!

"There is no greater suffering than denying what you're dying to say." As a writer I completely agree :)
“Don’t deny the world of your contribution” love

THE CINEMATOGRAPHY IS EXCELLENT!! The pacing, the color grading, the message. A chefs kiss. You inspire me Riza

Your videos & style of editing combined with storytelling is so refreshing! Love your videos! :)
Your compostion, lighting and colour are so sublime. Good job outta you! From a 25 year film industry lighting guy.
A work of art, as always :) I had to read 'the war of art' twice myself to fully take it in!
Me too! It's always good to come back to it when I need it!
I‘m currently reading The Practice by Seth Godin and it really fits well with this video. A lot of the points you said go hand in hand with what Seth wrote in that book
SO in love with your videos- seriously watch them in the morning because the vibes get me through
This is really a story telling, and I am feeling this right now, in my current timeframe in life.
Needed this 🤍
When I used to study or work in my art studio I figured a couple of things out. It’s distraction, which are all the things you mentioned at the start. I’d put on headphones with classical or something rhythmic to distract the front of my brain that was where all the distracting thoughts were manifesting.

ahh thank you so much it gives me hope!!😭🙏
Apart from the perfect storyline, the narrative, the art direction, I came across your vid at the perfect timing for me. Thank you…for this beautiful work. I “give myself permission” to immediately subscribe!
My incompetence is the only thing holding me back
This is so beautifully put together, filmed, and edited. So inspiring, love it
seems as though you have waged quite the war on art with these excellent videos you keep making :0
Good one 😂
thank you, as I've been discovering day to day my insistence = resistance... also that I'm the only one holding myself back and truly judging myself. quite the paradox, time to be free. ;)
So relatable - I so struggle with this. The ups are so high, and the lows are so low. Both are a whirlwind and leveling out is a huge challenge for creators!
I love this. Been reading the war of art again these days (and also the creative way, also recommended by you :D)
really needed to hear this
I really needed to hear this, I have so much to share, so many tales to tell, but I dont even start. I feel I am just staring life pass by, without taking action, thanks for the gentle enlightening reminder
just discovered your channel for the first time, i don't have the right words but really great video
Beautifully written and directed video. Thank you for making these, really meaningful and moving.
ty for the book rec!! it sounds perfect for me rn

Out of this world. Just amazing
Your work inspires me so much, Riza! Hope you've been doing well :)
Thanks Ian!! 😊
I am loving your videos!! Thank you so much 🙏 so well crafted and such great messaging. You are amazing! I'm a huge fan already!
I so needed to hear this😭
Love the detail in the shot with the soccer goals. And you give the same attention to every shot. Amazing work!
I looove your videos
The combination of your cinematographic scenes and your inspiring words hit different
Came across your channel this week! And I’m so glad I did! I’m excited to read War of Art now, I had heard about it last week from another filmmaker’s video, Luc Forsyth, and this was a great reminder
This came at the perfect time! Awesome as always
Thank you !! :)
i recently watched some of your videos and learnt a lotts but as soon as i realized that there is enough to purchased for being content creator. I love the way you describe each and every topic with help of creative visual sequence 😊😊
love the insights i was having a hard time and watching your videos gave me comfort so thank you :)
youre such beautiful soul, and im so glad i found you
You are absolutely right, this is such an important topic! That is one of my favorite books, and yeah it's not like you read it and then you're cured, it's a constant struggle. Great video as always!
Needed a reminder. Came at right time. Thank you☺️
Watching this felt like I was spilling all my thoughts out on the table… it’s so relatable to me as a video freelancer myself. I wish I could talk to people who understood this more but most don’t really get it. It’s interesting to see Toronto through your lens! Keep up the great work! Hope we can someday work together and pick your brain a bit more lol
It's definitely something people don't talk about as often as it happens, I was surprised as I learned more about it!
very beautiful work
I super love your style!!!
bro dunno why but i just love how her room looks like it just gives me immense comfort its so lovely ❤
The way you filming and your story telling is so gorgeous, i like this channel so much
Just discovered your channel and you've inspired me to start RUclips again. Thank you Riza.
Déjà vu. This is actually how I’ve been feeling and thinking about my future! 🌎 I recently just had surgery July 19th! And It’s 2021. I’m 31 years old and I’ve been battling SLE for the past 10 years of my life. I’m starting to realize that life is short! I just want to follow my Real Passion! I’m an Artist and an ♈️! Thank you for making my day! 🕉🤙🏽🧘🏽♂️
Good morning Riza🌞. My apologies for not mentioning you… Reading these over again. You probably think that I am selfish. I should have thanked your cinematographer! I’m Currently at my Mother’s apartment. And I’m getting ready to attend her 35th high school reunion today around 11:30 AM at a Local State Park 🥾🏕. I Admire your motivational videos.

Being humble is the key ! You doing great !
It's good to see my most favourite RUclipsr growing and glowing ✨ sending you love and light Riza 🦋
thank you so much!! 😌✨
so inspiring, it feels like you're talking to me right now. something is holding me back to create, it's hard. thanks u for this.
You have a very soothing voice. You could narrate a relaxation or sleep audio recording. I almost instantly fell asleep from the soothing nature of the voice.
Thanks for summing it up and sharing this with us. Because this is something I’ve been facing for a long time but couldn’t pin point to what was happening, so there wasn’t any solution that was working for me.
Your videos keep me going , when I need my creative juices and I feel I'm losing my sense of creativity.. but it all gets hard ..thanks Riza
Thank you. Thank you for taking the time to express yourself and your perspective in such a thoughtful way. Your storytelling makes me consider the alternative point of view on subjects that I've been pondering for years myself, and it's refreshing! Have a great summer.
Thank you so much, you made my day🥰
Hello! I just discovered your channel through another RUclipsr sharing how he has learned from your channel. I am impressed by your creativity. You are amazingly talented and I am hooked! Keep doing you!!! Thanks for sharing yourself. Robyn
I always come back to this video when I need a little motivation. It puts a pep in my step. 😊 Congratulations on the 200k. Well deserved. 🎉
I am inspired by you, your storytelling and just outlook of life. As a creative as well,
I am taking the leap. Thank you. New fan!!
Another great video… and about a great book too 😊
Loving the channel. Your shots are so thoughtfully done and seem so effortlessly produced. Keep up the great work!
Also, is that a new M1 iMac I see….?! Congrats!
Yes it is the new M1! I love the orange haha it’s definitely speeding up my editing process!!
Awesome video !
Very thought-provoking and invigorating message. Thank you for such a valuable video
Resistance, you felt it was something only you go through. Ha, I am going through it right now. I also get the feeling that I am alone in that/this situation sometimes. I'm glad I chanced upon this video.
THIS IS MY LIKE 4TH VID IN A ROW. UR SO GOOD AT THIS IT'S INSPIRING! :DD
this is perfect, ive been dealing with this a lot. I know I can achieve it, it's not what I want, it's just me; all me, holding myself back.
Love the editing and your filmography
thankyou so much for this. it feels like a comforting hug for my conscience when i needed it the most. so absorbing. it felt like you took the crumple in my brain and delicately untwined it, thankyou.
looking forward to more such stories from you and learning from them, keep it up beautiful!
This video is so good. Thank you for sharing. I am a content creator and I'm balancing between making the best content vs being myself and posting in a timely manner
Your channel feels like home and I love you so much for this
To be honest, I have so much creativity and innovations that benefits the world so much that its needed for the next challenge of what is really important but I never bring it to a concept or a product at all. I stress myself of not doing it and or doing something I really do and blame myself for it.
Seriously, it gave me headache and sadness that I lost myself in the process. It is been ongoing for now 3-7 years.

Again, just give yourself permission. Riza, your videos are unique of how you talk but also your cinematography makes it you. Happy new Year
This was the most beautiful Video and message I've seen in a while. You got a new subscriber ❤
Your films are amazing. The way you shot, the color, the storytelling and the composition, everything is just 👌🏻
By the way,
You really inspire me to start to do something again, something i stopped long time ago.
Thank you so much.
Found your channel today, and just watched that TED talk yesterday. Keep it up!
The best possible way she explained what we go through… this is all I wanted to hear 💕🦋
Thank you very much for this!! Your videos inspires me. Definitely the video I needed. Perfectly done.
I love this video - so peaceful and inspiring!
your videos are so so wonderful, so beautiful and so poignant. Thank you for your art!!!! You are an inspiration!!!!

Would love to read that book now. Thank you for this video, Riza. Take care! - Esan
And yay finally 3K! Congrats, Riza! 👏🏼
I totally went through that when I first got into freelance, like almost exactly!! If you end up reading the book I hope it'll help you with that transition, it helped me get focused on getting things done and my mindset when it came to being on my own schedule. Good luck! 💛 x
Just came across your channel this morning. Your videos are so good!! This one made me want to pull that book off the shelf again for another read.
thank you! :)
I stumbled upon Ethan Hawke’s TED video a while ago and remembered being struck by it for days! I kept on repeating, rewatching the video just to remember all the wonderful things he said about creativity and not shying away from it. Your video made me remember that same feeling. Thank you!
Wow! What a great video!! I’m new to your channel and I’m astonished by how beautifully structured and produced this video is👏🏼 Thank you for sharing your insights!
