This is why elders were revered in ancient cultures . They would gather the children to come listen to the wisdom of Old folks and the children would learn . Thank you for all you do and your hard work .
It's funny, the more we progress as a society, the more we become close minded. The worst offense humanity has committed is the rejection of true history. We "study" history but only small, specific segments and only the bullet point events. The actual point of history, why we record it and try to learn from it, has been lost for well over a century now...
Unfortunately a lot of the elders now are so full of themselves that they think they automatically default into deserving respect and having everyones ear when they spent the last 4 or 5 decades learning nothing except bigotry and ignorance.
@@dresdenwarlock7978 That's an ignorant and bigoted statement. Sure, a lot of older folk feel entitled to respect and overestimate their wisdom, but you ain't doing much better either.
That is so important that the world's wealthiest have made destroying memory a priority. These days most old people are having terrible problems with memory, and many can't remember the names of their own kids. :( If you can't remember the past, you are doomed to repeat it.
Hello Dwayne, Chinese viewer here, the dish you mentioned at 5:10 is called 锅包肉 (Guo Bao Rou) and you did a good job in pronunciating it! I love your videos by the way. They are inspirational and very useful as practicing listening materials for English learners like me.
@@katie7748 or as Terence Mckenna said "dont be so open that the wind whistles through your ears" he could have heeded his own advice in some areas haha
These videos are a masterclass in writing, speaking, and rhetoric, despite this man not scripting these, casually just talking (while smoking a cigar and drinking coffee no less), and not intentionally trying to convince anyone of anything. His use of metaphors, the way he conveys his points, and the absolute wisdom in what he is actually communicating are all things to be studied. There is something to be said about a good point, there is something more to say about delivering a good point well, but there is even more to be said about delivering a point in a way that the point and the manner in which it is delivered both carry wisdom.
This has been one of the most difficult and toughest years of my life. I pulled thru by the very grace of God and I have been blessed with the knowledge of the truth of God. Praise God.
What a wonderful video. Thank you! I'm a 62 year old, bearded, cigar smoking Canadian guy. I spend many long hours pondering the same things you do, and love to listen to thoughtful people expressing their views; particularly when I may not initially agree with them. Always food for thought. Nice to know that you're out there. I'm sure that there are many, many other good folks out there too, throughout the world, who feel much the same. Have a Happy New Year (my wife and I will be blissfully sleeping before the ball drops). David
I’m personally not religious and I still find a lot of value in what you say . I have always believed “you don’t push you’re beliefs on me and I won’t push mine on you” and it’s never served me wrong yet
Hi Dewayne, you might be surprised you have Chinese audiences among your subscribers. And yes, I'm one of them! I'm currently 25 and studying my PhD in the United States. I'm attracted by American culture and learned a lot from your videos. The meal you mentioned is 锅包肉; or "wok wrapped meat". It's part of the northeast cuisine of China. I'm also a big fan of stinky tofu 😁. Food culture is very important for Chinese and thanks for bringing that up! And thanks for the good video like usual. Happy New Year to you and your family!
I have a lot of good people in my life who have fallen victim to the "quick conclusion" mentality. They think they are being smart by "figuring it out so quickly" when usually they get the wrong idea because they didn't look any further into it. The Chinese food example is a great analogy, hopefully it will help them understand where I'm coming from
In a world that is rapidly shifting in values and principles, I have a deep appreciation for your insight, your articulation and the foundation of the Word that is clear in your videos. Thank you and please keep them coming!
I'm working my way into adulthood proper, and these videos of yours have been the grease in my wheels. They've pushed me to improve myself, and I can't thank you enough. May you live into your hundreds, sharing your wisdom for decades to come.
"We can forgive children who are afraid of the dark but it is sad when grown men are afraid of the light". Not sure whose quote this is but true. Preach it brother, we all need gospel in whatever dosage.
I don't even have horses, not a horse guy but this guy has a way with words and some wisdom that has me watching just to listen. I never walk away from these videos with nothing.
I gotta say, there are so many things in this video that I think more people in this world and especially on the internet need to hear! The world would be a much better place! Please keep on making videos like that!
Dewayne, I think this video is a perfect example of what you were talking about. When you mentioned Peterson and Tate, I found myself thinking "Well, I don't know about using those two in particular as examples for this because I think some of the things they say can only be said in confidence with a certain mentality." But then you started talking about strengthening one's beliefs by testing them. By that point, I got where you were going and I understood it and I agree with it. And I wouldn't have been able to let that sink in if I'd paused the video at a certain point. Much love, Dewayne and Momma. Thanks for the insight and the perspective. And a Happy New Year to you both.
You really surprised me with this video. In my mind you were some farmer in the sticks sharing knowledge but i never thought youd talk about nietzsche or any of the philosophers. Today i stand humbled with my perceptions of who someone is. Thank you for that
The story of the hay and briars is great. When we apply this to people I think it’s compassionate: we accept the reality of (but do not eat) their “briars”, while looking for the good they have. We can scale this up to reality itself.
There was a spiritual teacher whom I used to really enjoy listening to and I remember seeing one of his videos a few months in and he briefly mentioned something about god, in hindsight, I realise how much I recoiled at that word and began to question his teachings which eventually lead to me to stop watching him. it wasn't until I became more open-minded that I realised the depth of his words. I can now see how close-minded I was to anything I disagreed with and how quickly It was labelled either good or bad and become ignorant to the latter, it's like an automatic response that I wasn't aware that I was even doing yet believed without question. Thanks for sharing your words
As a 19 year old this video in particular, and your other videos have help me get through life’s challenges lately a little easier mentally and with tremendous amounts more of perspective. You are a blessing to the younger generation. Thank you🙏🏽
Had my first cigar while listening (a Cuban my cousin was able to bring back from a trip to Mexico), and good lord, it really helped me relax and enjoy this talk
God Bless you folks!! I happened on your videos late this year, EVERY video I've watched has been such an uplifting delight. You speak truth, you speak to the hearts and souls of those who need it. The Lord is working through your videos. I'm really happy to have found this channel.
It’s funny because I saw one of your earlier videos where you criticized critical race theory, and I small-mindedly avoided your videos when they came up in my recommended videos since then. Now I watch this, and completely agree with everything you say. Checking your own beliefs, eating around the bad parts, not jumping to conclusions and extreme judgments - these are virtues that a good person needs to learn eventually. I think you were smoking the same cigar in the last one!
I love watching your video's from Belgium. My dad has been emotionally distant ever since I was little and these video's give me a lot of comfort. Thank you 🙏
I don't seek out and intentionally offend anyone, but I also don't check my faith at the door just because someone might get offended. I shouldn't be expected too. Love your channel. Can't believe how your channel has grown over this past year.
Thank you Dewayne. I always injoy your stories and wisdom. You are the kind of mentor our young adults need today. Its hard to find someone with your kind of life experience . Thank you for dedicating your time with us.
Dewayne, I don't think this is a good place for asking but I don't know what would be a better place - do you have any insight for how to find peace with your past? I can accept that all the lousy decisions I've made have helped me become the kind of person I'm now fond of, but it still fills me with a sense of shame and discomfort to think back on all my 'past mes.' I often feel like I'm looking back at an entirely different person - a person I intensely dislike. And as happy as I am with myself right now and the progress I've made I'm still worried that a future me is going to look back and hate this version of myself as well. It's a cycle of thought that's been sticking with me for a while, especially now that another year is closing and it's as apt a time for reflection as any. Happy new year, though, to anyone reading.
Seneca is great. Marcus Aurelius also good. Epicetus is hard to get through, but good. The Stoic philosophers are enlightening. I also enjoy Zen koans, etc. and Sun Tsu, as well as some Nordic stuff. There is still so much to LEARN!
I had a good year too, thank you Dewayne. I'm actually glad to hear it's been the same for you. I got quite a bit done this past year. I'm especially happy that I found this channel, as it is pertectly in line with most of what I do around here. Ironically, I have no horses nor do I smoke.
very happy i found you Uncle Drew another experienced wise man to that reiterates the same basic and core concepts of what makes a quality, productive and good , balanced person, knowing you listen to men like jocko and Jordan and how similar the message you all teach us shows me im in the right place, men you like you continuously remind and guide men like me to be better men for themselves and more importantly others.
As a White American man married to a Cantonese woman, I find this hilarious and extremely accurate. My wife even agreed with the crossing the street from the stinky tofu. She loves watching your videos too. Happy New Year!
I'm an American of African descent and grew up with Christianity and horses. I'm no longer a Christian, nor do I ride horses, but I damn sure respect both. Great message, and this is wisdom for sure.
All the best to you sir, what a timely reminder. One guy whose podcast I listen to ,which has been very helpful made some comments with his co host, laughing at a guy who only makes $5 million a year. It came across so arrogant that I almost stopped listening. Not everybody needs to be a millionaire to live a comfortable life. The Chinese food story made me look at him differently. Thank you for your wonderful advise, and Happy New year to you and your family

I love that! They searched the scriptures to see if what they were told was true. I don’t know how many times I’ve shared that scripture. Let us all search the scriptures to know if what we’ve been told is true. Don’t be surprised if you have to change on some things that you’ve been told. I have
Terrific chat and an important topic. I was taught to try things, listen, and be respectful. It will make the journey in life even better. Still working at it.
Thank you Good Sir for sharing this amazing wisdom. It'll be shared with many the many I'll cross paths with. Planting seeds for the Lord, All glory to Him, Faithful and True! ⏳☝️🐑❤️
Love these videos not having a father or any of my papaws anymore I find my self going to Dwayne, thank you sir I pray for wealth and prosperity for you and your family in the upcoming year. these videos mean more than you know sir
Another amazing video, fantastic way of explaining an old golden rule in a new way. You're a blend of many of the great thinkers in a cowboy package Thanks for everything this year, youre service and impact on the world is immeasurable. You're wisdom helps other navigate life and avoid unnecessary suffering at our own hands. Happy new years and wishing you and momma good health in the year to come ❤️
Less judgments and more consideration. Thank you for putting out great videos sir! 👍🏼🙏🏼 The analogies with the Chinese food was a great way to add lightness and purpose to your point. 🙏🏼
You have a very unique way of relaying ideas that you have in your mind and that come across. My wife has said pretty much the same thing. She has said that you need to pick the bone out when you’re eating fish. If you come across part of an idea that crosses with you, don’t shut that person out. Just nod your head and say ya, ok but don’t turn that person or idea off in your mind. Keep up the good work and Happy New Year!
Great advise. If we all did that then there would be more conversations and the chance to learn. Today too many feel that their idea is the only right one. Thank you for your straight talk.
i've always said that there is truth in everything what you hear and see...you chinese metaphor/story fit that perfectly. god bless you and your family and happy new year
2022 was my worst, and yet also my most eye opening year. I couldn't imagine going on as I used to and not making major changes in my life. LOVE THE ADVICE BROTHA MUCH LOVE FROM A 22 YEAR OLD VIEWER!
There’s an old say that goes, “what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger”. Push through those hardships. Perseverance pays off. Step back and make wise, thought through decisions based on sound advice. Find that person who’s lived some and can assist you. Dewayne’s channel is a good source. Life is truly worth living. We have to learn from our mistakes and know that, like iron, we sometimes have to go through an annealing process where we’re made stronger and more resilient. Always remember that pride is not always a good thing if it keeps you from reaching out for help. I’ll leave you with a quote from Will Rogers, “Good judgement comes from experience and a lot of that comes from bad judgement!”
@@jaystewart9947 There is an old saying: "That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger." I don't believe that. I think the things that try to kill you make you angry and sad. Strength comes from the good things: your family, your friends, the satisfaction of hard work. Those are the things that will keep you whole. Those are the things to hold onto when you are broken. Jax Teller
Wishing you, Mama and family only continued success and happiness. I feel fortunate to have been a student at the school particularly in its inaugural year. Cheers
@@jowo8862 the best way I could describe it was the taste of a banana, a white onion, and one of those pizza flavored Bagel Bites. The worst part is that you burp it back up for about an hour after you eat it.
You pronounced gobaru very well!!! My step mother is Chinese and she makes them! And yes it’s heavenly!! Smiled so much hearing this and hearing you speak it.
This is a resting place that I come to Dwayne. I think I speak for many subscribers when I say this is a channel that I can stop at when I want to listen to sanity and reason. Thanks man
Dog training. Maybe timely because dog training is on my mind this morning, but this is 100% true in the dog training world. I've been guilty of it so many times and I know I'm not alone. Someone who you don't agree with on training methodology says something and you instantly dismiss everything from them. Or maybe even the "meal" isn't to your liking so you're not willing to even take an "appetizer" which may be one training nugget that blooms into some piece you've been missing. Or only keeping friends with people who nearly 100% align with your own beliefs on religion, politics, etc. You just miss out on a lot by being so exclusive. Edit to add: I paused to make this comment 3 seconds before Dewayne started talking about horse training. Haha! I was on to something.
God bless you Dwayne, may the rolling fields bring your comfort, substance and joy. You and your family are a blessing. 2023, cheers to you and yours. ⚔️🍻👍🏻
This might be the best advice from a self help video ever and i've been watching self help videos regularly since 2018. I promise to implement this as a fundamental pillar in my way of life for 2023 and i know it will wield huge results. Thank you so much for all the wisdom you spread. I wish you and all else who see this an amazing 2023!
I love this man right here like a son loves a father. Not because of the clear topic at hand, but the subtle references to books or messages that are hidden gems. Mate from Australia though a born Kiwi. Your the aspiration I hope to reach. The fact that you said Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate are just people you watched and not peolle you sided with changed my perspective on anyone and everyone. Everybody is a jewel but the dirt they carry you wash off. And admire the core beauty. Thank you sir. I appreciate you.
This is the same principle I use when watching the news. I know different networks have different agendas, but it’s up to us to have discernment and pick truth out from the noise
Amen. My dad was an avid fisherman Hunterman and I love fresh Fish But never eat sushi but I love a Japanese restaurant because they have a lot of cooked stirfry dishes that are amazing the problem with American Chinese dishes is the vegetable oil our bodies are not suppose to eat vegetable oil there’s no vegetables in vegetable oil, we are suppose to cook in coconut oil avocado oil olive oil Tallow, butter Ghee etc.
That's not quite right. There's nothing wrong with vegetable oils. If anything, your body can take more vegetable oil than animal fat because vegetable lipid chains are closed, so they don't stick to your arteries, whereas animal fat lipid chains are open, so they will clog your blood vessels up much quicker. Olive oil and avocado oil are both types of plant oil, for instance. What we call "vegetable oil" is typically just another word for canola oil, which is just another plant oil.
My aunt had a friend of a friend who went to China. She was running errands for someone and came across a dog vendor. She wanted to save some of them from death so she pointed to a few of them and said she wanted them or something like that and she'd be back for them later. Anyway, there was a miscommunication and when she returned from running errands they were already bagged up and prepared to be eaten. Sorry I don't have a moral to this story except maybe that learning a new language can be helpful.
I’m 34, newly single (once again), and in a hole of depression I just can’t get myself out of. I’ve told people because that’s what we’re told to do. Even though people say to speak up, when you do, nobody truly wants to help. I’m truly scared of being alone at this point yes I’m the loneliest I’ve ever been. 5 years ago I was the complete opposite,I just don’t know what happened. I should be happy, I have a clean bill of health so far, but for some reason I’m just extremely depressed. Anyway, I say all this to thank you for your videos, they bring a temporary sense of relief as I’m watching them. And these days, I treasure those moments. Happy new year everyone.
You got this man. Hang in here. 33 coming out one of my most challenging year. Back to basics my brother. Get outdoors. Get sunlight, get some exercise, drink more water, do your best to find some help. You can do it stick to it.
I've spoken on this many time with my team, friends, family, etc.. You cannot shut out the entirety of a person, teaching, subject, book, or anything that could help you help yourself and/or others simply because you disagree with a few things held within it. You're more than welcome to continue your disagreement, but out of respect for the the differences in the subject compared to yours, don't completely shut it out. Learn from it, grow from it, live by it or respectfully disagree....rinse and repeat.
Thanks for sharing these teachings with us. Knowledge is what we all can use more of. I was the one who used to cherry pick my studies. I wasn't even aware of it, haha. Until one day, my health turned out for the worst. I had to learn the hard way in order to yield and be unbiased. It seemed to me at that point the ability to accept was something valuable, which not a lot of people have. Everyone goes through their own little journey or spiritual adventure, I think. No matter how different it seems- the circumstances between you and him/her- I think we are all equal when we look at both the past we have experienced and what the future holds for us.
Good video. One thing about Pat Puckett. He will often say that he does things a certain way. He will freely admit that there are other ways to do things but THIS is how he does it. He’s pretty open about the fact that his way is not the only way to get things done.
i spent my first full year on my own in 2022, ive figured out things i love and things i hate through trial and error. you cant judge a man or woman based off of one or two things they have said or done. people can change and people think diffrently. we are all human and make mistakes.
If someone doesn't have what I want in life (mentally, spiritually, physically, emotionally) then they have nothing to teach me except that I do not want to be like them. I feel this way about Tate and Peterson these days, though I didn't always. I didn't used to feel that way because I wanted what they had out of ignorance - I wanted something that society had told me to want. I also wanted to be angry because it felt righteous and good. I found later that I didn't actually want those things, and the trade I had to make for that righteousness was to be a perpetual victim. Guess I put it to the test. Thanks for your videos Dewayne.

I can accept that all the lousy decisions I've made have helped me become the kind of person I'm now fond of, but it still fills me with a sense of shame and discomfort to think back on all my 'past mes.' I often feel like I'm looking back at an entirely different person - a person I intensely dislike. And as happy as I am with myself right now and the progress I've made I'm still worried that a future me is going to look back and hate this version of myself as well. It's a cycle of thought that's been sticking with me for a while, especially now that another year is closing and it's as apt a time for reflection as any.
Happy new year, though, to anyone reading.
Thanks a lot, happy new year to you too!
Man surprises me more and more every video. “If you read Seneca…”
Seneca is great. Marcus Aurelius also good. Epicetus is hard to get through, but good. The Stoic philosophers are enlightening.
I also enjoy Zen koans, etc. and Sun Tsu, as well as some Nordic stuff.
There is still so much to LEARN!
I am so happy to have come across this channel! I hope every single person finds this channel, much love to you and your family
I had a good year too, thank you Dewayne. I'm actually glad to hear it's been the same for you. I got quite a bit done this past year. I'm especially happy that I found this channel, as it is pertectly in line with most of what I do around here. Ironically, I have no horses nor do I smoke.
Thanks Dwayne, for you and Moma Do!!, and Happy New Year and May God Always Bless You and Your Family!!!!!
"Dog on the table." You just created your own idiom, congratulations. That was a wonderful video and discussion. Subscribed 👍
The one love to hear you talk been following you for a little bit I hope 2023 brings you health and wealth take care
2023 is going to be a great year, because I just discovered your channel. How refreshing. Thank you, and Happy New Year!
very happy i found you Uncle Drew another experienced wise man to that reiterates the same basic and core concepts of what makes a quality, productive and good , balanced person, knowing you listen to men like jocko and Jordan and how similar the message you all teach us shows me im in the right place, men you like you continuously remind and guide men like me to be better men for themselves and more importantly others.
This is so entertaining. I love listening to real people riffing. Especially characters like you Dwayne 😄
Good afternoon mr Dwayne I appreciate you taking the time to sit and talk with me.
So glad that your year was better. And hoping everyone’s next year is better!🥂
Thank you for your wisdom, sir, I wish you an excellent year.
As a White American man married to a Cantonese woman, I find this hilarious and extremely accurate. My wife even agreed with the crossing the street from the stinky tofu. She loves watching your videos too. Happy New Year!
💕
Hi gweilo!
You are awesome 👏
I'm an American of African descent and grew up with Christianity and horses. I'm no longer a Christian, nor do I ride horses, but I damn sure respect both. Great message, and this is wisdom for sure.
All the best to you sir, what a timely reminder. One guy whose podcast I listen to ,which has been very helpful made some comments with his co host, laughing at a guy who only makes $5 million a year. It came across so arrogant that I almost stopped listening. Not everybody needs to be a millionaire to live a comfortable life. The Chinese food story made me look at him differently. Thank you for your wonderful advise, and Happy New year to you and your family
He only makes $5 million a year? Poor guy does he have a go fund me so I can help him out?

I love that! They searched the scriptures to see if what they were told was true. I don’t know how many times I’ve shared that scripture. Let us all search the scriptures to know if what we’ve been told is true. Don’t be surprised if you have to change on some things that you’ve been told. I have
One should be awake and slept out and have some fish in the fridge when Jesus knocks at the heart-door of the house. 🍷😁
Terrific chat and an important topic. I was taught to try things, listen, and be respectful. It will make the journey in life even better. Still working at it.
Thank you Good Sir for sharing this amazing wisdom. It'll be shared with many the many I'll cross paths with. Planting seeds for the Lord, All glory to Him, Faithful and True! ⏳☝️🐑❤️
Love these videos not having a father or any of my papaws anymore I find my self going to Dwayne, thank you sir I pray for wealth and prosperity for you and your family in the upcoming year. these videos mean more than you know sir
Another amazing video, fantastic way of explaining an old golden rule in a new way. You're a blend of many of the great thinkers in a cowboy package
Thanks for everything this year, youre service and impact on the world is immeasurable.
You're wisdom helps other navigate life and avoid unnecessary suffering at our own hands. Happy new years and wishing you and momma good health in the year to come ❤️
Thanks to you both for being.
Love to y'all from us in Driftwood TX.
Great content as always Mr. Dwayne
Less judgments and more consideration. Thank you for putting out great videos sir! 👍🏼🙏🏼
The analogies with the Chinese food was a great way to add lightness and purpose to your point. 🙏🏼
You have a very unique way of relaying ideas that you have in your mind and that come across. My wife has said pretty much the same thing. She has said that you need to pick the bone out when you’re eating fish. If you come across part of an idea that crosses with you, don’t shut that person out. Just nod your head and say ya, ok but don’t turn that person or idea off in your mind. Keep up the good work and Happy New Year!
You, Momma and Alan at the pipe cottage were my finds of 2022. Heres to 2023, All the very best to you both.
I was LITERALLY looking up “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius at the EXACT moment Dwayne mentioned it. That’s how tapped in he is.
Great advise. If we all did that then there would be more conversations and the chance to learn. Today too many feel that their idea is the only right one.
Thank you for your straight talk.
i've always said that there is truth in everything what you hear and see...you chinese metaphor/story fit that perfectly. god bless you and your family and happy new year
Roasted chinese with soya sauce, potatoes on a salad bed would be a burnt offer. We should exclude it from the menu list. 🍷😎
Mr Dewayne and Mrs Dry Creek Momma. Y’all are amazing. Thank y’all for these great videos. Much love ❤️
2022 was my worst, and yet also my most eye opening year. I couldn't imagine going on as I used to and not making major changes in my life. LOVE THE ADVICE BROTHA MUCH LOVE FROM A 22 YEAR OLD VIEWER!
heard that brotha keep on living this life to the fullest!
Same, been my worst year so far, gotta keep it moving tho
I’ve always said “what can I learn from what I went thru?”
Learning a lesson is the best thing that you can do for yourself ❤️
There’s an old say that goes, “what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger”. Push through those hardships. Perseverance pays off. Step back and make wise, thought through decisions based on sound advice. Find that person who’s lived some and can assist you. Dewayne’s channel is a good source. Life is truly worth living. We have to learn from our mistakes and know that, like iron, we sometimes have to go through an annealing process where we’re made stronger and more resilient. Always remember that pride is not always a good thing if it keeps you from reaching out for help. I’ll leave you with a quote from Will Rogers, “Good judgement comes from experience and a lot of that comes from bad judgement!”
@@jaystewart9947
There is an old saying: "That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger." I don't believe that. I think the things that try to kill you make you angry and sad. Strength comes from the good things: your family, your friends, the satisfaction of hard work. Those are the things that will keep you whole. Those are the things to hold onto when you are broken.

Wishing you, Mama and family only continued success and happiness. I feel fortunate to have been a student at the school particularly in its inaugural year. Cheers
Unscripted words of wisdom, thank you Dwayne happy new year to you and yours sir.
Amen ❤ happy new year from Italy
As someone who has tried durian and stinky tofu, I thoroughly enjoyed your experiences. The wisdom in this video is pure gold!
Pure pure gold.
What did durian taste like?
@@jowo8862 the best way I could describe it was the taste of a banana, a white onion, and one of those pizza flavored Bagel Bites. The worst part is that you burp it back up for about an hour after you eat it.
@@goobertoober95 🤣
Thank you sir !
Happy new year everyone.
You pronounced gobaru very well!!! My step mother is Chinese and she makes them! And yes it’s heavenly!! Smiled so much hearing this and hearing you speak it.
I scoured the comments trying to find this word written out, based on the description I really want to try this
Found it Guo Bao Rou
This is a resting place that I come to Dwayne. I think I speak for many subscribers when I say this is a channel that I can stop at when I want to listen to sanity and reason. Thanks man
Dog training. Maybe timely because dog training is on my mind this morning, but this is 100% true in the dog training world. I've been guilty of it so many times and I know I'm not alone. Someone who you don't agree with on training methodology says something and you instantly dismiss everything from them. Or maybe even the "meal" isn't to your liking so you're not willing to even take an "appetizer" which may be one training nugget that blooms into some piece you've been missing. Or only keeping friends with people who nearly 100% align with your own beliefs on religion, politics, etc. You just miss out on a lot by being so exclusive.
Edit to add: I paused to make this comment 3 seconds before Dewayne started talking about horse training. Haha! I was on to something.
God bless you Dwayne, may the rolling fields bring your comfort, substance and joy. You and your family are a blessing. 2023, cheers to you and yours. ⚔️🍻👍🏻
This might be the best advice from a self help video ever and i've been watching self help videos regularly since 2018. I promise to implement this as a fundamental pillar in my way of life for 2023 and i know it will wield huge results. Thank you so much for all the wisdom you spread. I wish you and all else who see this an amazing 2023!
Amen Brother 🙏🙏
I absolutely love this guy he said Fermented is too kind of a word.😂 let it Rot 😂😂❤
I love this man right here like a son loves a father. Not because of the clear topic at hand, but the subtle references to books or messages that are hidden gems. Mate from Australia though a born Kiwi. Your the aspiration I hope to reach. The fact that you said Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate are just people you watched and not peolle you sided with changed my perspective on anyone and everyone. Everybody is a jewel but the dirt they carry you wash off. And admire the core beauty. Thank you sir. I appreciate you.
This is the same principle I use when watching the news. I know different networks have different agendas, but it’s up to us to have discernment and pick truth out from the noise
Happy New Year, many years to come in good health and much love to you Dwayne and everyone here! Greetings from Thessalonica, Greece!
Amen. My dad was an avid fisherman Hunterman and I love fresh Fish But never eat sushi but I love a Japanese restaurant because they have a lot of cooked stirfry dishes that are amazing the problem with American Chinese dishes is the vegetable oil our bodies are not suppose to eat vegetable oil there’s no vegetables in vegetable oil, we are suppose to cook in coconut oil avocado oil olive oil Tallow, butter Ghee etc.
That's not quite right. There's nothing wrong with vegetable oils. If anything, your body can take more vegetable oil than animal fat because vegetable lipid chains are closed, so they don't stick to your arteries, whereas animal fat lipid chains are open, so they will clog your blood vessels up much quicker.
Olive oil and avocado oil are both types of plant oil, for instance. What we call "vegetable oil" is typically just another word for canola oil, which is just another plant oil.
Wisdom words from your experience, observations and reflections. Doesn’t get any better than this. Thank you!
My aunt had a friend of a friend who went to China. She was running errands for someone and came across a dog vendor. She wanted to save some of them from death so she pointed to a few of them and said she wanted them or something like that and she'd be back for them later. Anyway, there was a miscommunication and when she returned from running errands they were already bagged up and prepared to be eaten. Sorry I don't have a moral to this story except maybe that learning a new language can be helpful.
I just recently found your channel, and I'm glad I did. You are helping me alot, and I'm 57 years old. Thank you for doing what you do sir.
I’m 34, newly single (once again), and in a hole of depression I just can’t get myself out of. I’ve told people because that’s what we’re told to do. Even though people say to speak up, when you do, nobody truly wants to help. I’m truly scared of being alone at this point yes I’m the loneliest I’ve ever been. 5 years ago I was the complete opposite,I just don’t know what happened. I should be happy, I have a clean bill of health so far, but for some reason I’m just extremely depressed. Anyway, I say all this to thank you for your videos, they bring a temporary sense of relief as I’m watching them. And these days, I treasure those moments. Happy new year everyone.
they want to help when it's too late or they can have something ouf of it
You got this man. Hang in here. 33 coming out one of my most challenging year. Back to basics my brother. Get outdoors. Get sunlight, get some exercise, drink more water, do your best to find some help. You can do it stick to it.
Thank you sir fore wice words! Happy New Year and see you 2023
I've spoken on this many time with my team, friends, family, etc.. You cannot shut out the entirety of a person, teaching, subject, book, or anything that could help you help yourself and/or others simply because you disagree with a few things held within it. You're more than welcome to continue your disagreement, but out of respect for the the differences in the subject compared to yours, don't completely shut it out. Learn from it, grow from it, live by it or respectfully disagree....rinse and repeat.
Another well-thought-out video. Hoping for a better year in 2023. Happy New Year!
Thanks for sharing these teachings with us. Knowledge is what we all can use more of.
I was the one who used to cherry pick my studies. I wasn't even aware of it, haha. Until one day, my health turned out for the worst. I had to learn the hard way in order to yield and be unbiased. It seemed to me at that point the ability to accept was something valuable, which not a lot of people have.
Everyone goes through their own little journey or spiritual adventure, I think. No matter how different it seems- the circumstances between you and him/her- I think we are all equal when we look at both the past we have experienced and what the future holds for us.
Good video. One thing about Pat Puckett.
He will often say that he does things a certain way. He will freely admit that there are other ways to do things but THIS is how he does it.
He’s pretty open about the fact that his way is not the only way to get things done.
i worked with people from China (in the past) - they gently reminded me that there is a difference between CHINESE food and AMERICAN CHINESE food
I had Chinese food in Korea, and it is different there from both America and China. 🤣
Of course there is a difference! They eat dogs bats scorpions etc. And I hope the Chinese restaurants here dont.
I appreciate the time you took to share this video. Happy new year.
i spent my first full year on my own in 2022, ive figured out things i love and things i hate through trial and error. you cant judge a man or woman based off of one or two things they have said or done. people can change and people think diffrently. we are all human and make mistakes.
You can't judge a person who doesn't know how to use capital letters and full stops.
If someone doesn't have what I want in life (mentally, spiritually, physically, emotionally) then they have nothing to teach me except that I do not want to be like them. I feel this way about Tate and Peterson these days, though I didn't always. I didn't used to feel that way because I wanted what they had out of ignorance - I wanted something that society had told me to want. I also wanted to be angry because it felt righteous and good. I found later that I didn't actually want those things, and the trade I had to make for that righteousness was to be a perpetual victim.
Guess I put it to the test.
Thanks for your videos Dewayne.
The existence of this man, lets me know that, good men are still around. I really love this channel!!
Bad people shout from the hills to let you know of their existence.
Always enjoy these videos! Thank you.
