I like that you had you had your father on the channel as factor in the acceptance department. He serves as a visual aid that is the empirical proof behind your mind set. Its relieving to see a RUclipsr that believes in the significance of family relationships/support system as well.
when a woman accepts herself and her own flaws, she shines like a bright star in any group event. men who know this are also able to see that and that will encourage them approach women. the key here is how do you define devotion? some people think devotion is giving everything up for another person for the rest of your life, when in fact, it's the opposite. Truly, a woman who accepts herself will always honor another male with respect, and if that male does the same in return. all those imperfections will then be a non issue. in fact, it will help the relationship move forward and deal with everything that comes their way.
This is the greatest. I am 33 and the other day my dad and I broke out the old baseball mitts and played catch for the first time in 15 years. Thanks for posting Richard. Happy birthday to the O.G!
I’m 14, I have a messed up hairline, my chest is caved in, I have somewhat bad acne, and scars all over my arms and back. I’m scared of my flaws and it gives me really bad anxiety, I still haven’t fully accepted who I am and it’s probably because I’m still young but this video definitely helped me so thank you, it really means a lot.
It definitely takes some time man be patient. I have a caved in chest as well but still don't fully accept it yet. As Rich mentions a lot start lifting heavy weights regularly and you'll feel way more confident. Check out Mark Rippetoe, Starting Strength and his novice programme. Follow the programme, eat and sleep well and you'll feel way better in just a few months 💪🏼
There's a lad I knew who had a chest like that. He showed us and nobody judged him. Was pretty fascinating actually. Last time I checked he had found a girlfriend. So it can be overlooked if you have redeeming features.
I always treat my dad special. Especially after how horrible I was as a kid. And like you I reached a point where I put my foot down and decided to change myself. Early 20's for me! Best thing I ever did! Happy birthday to your dad and many more!
no wonder we don't accept ourselves, all big industries bombard us with commercials and fashions telling us to buy this, buy that, look like this or dress like that. There are people who hate their body or even do surgeries to look like god knows what famous singer, to increase their butt or tits or nose. How can one hate themselves for being themselves and not someone else? That's madness. Own who you are and how unique you are, the hell you want to be someone else's copy?
'the only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it.' thanks rich for the excellent content. happy birthday to your pops by the way.
I love the saying "shame on my parents for who I was, shame on me for who I am". A Major step in my changing perspective is when I finally accepted and was able to admit that up until now (39) my ENTIRE life has been controlled by fear. Needy ONEitis, fear of rejection. Self sabotage, fear of success and responsibility. Just fear, fear, fear. I've found, for me, almost every character defect and bad decision I've made in life was a plant that grew out of the soil of fear... That's not the end of the story, because I haven't mastered moving though it. But it's a step and a target.
I'm 32 years old and I haven't accepted the fact that I'm gay. In my mind it makes me less of a man and my constant thought is "If only I was straight"
That's the stupidiest thing in the world. You are gay ? Be gay, nobody cares about it. At first your inner circle and maybe yourself will felt kind of odd, but in less than a month it isn't gonna matter.
Renê Santana get that out of your head now. Being a man has nothing to do with sexual orientation. Enjoy yourself, learn, grow, try to better yourself and treat people with respect, have compassion, help others and you will be all you need to be. Stay up bro.
I have a ginger fixation and I have got to say most gingers I’ve met are both cold and over-attached at the same time. It was quite jarring to experience at first.
Physical inadequacies can be dealt with this way, in the end, unless you've lost a hand or something, it doesn't affect your success in life that much, but mental ones, like having low-average intelligence, now that is something that I cannot just choose to ignore.
Happy Bday to papa EiC. I used to be very self conscientious of a 15'' scar on my back from scoliosis surgery. Just like you I started lifting weights at 16. I remember going from about 170 to 198 my senior year of high school. I'm 220 now and still have a bit of body dysmorphia but it doesn't consume my thoughts. I gained a lot of confidence from weight lifting but it wasn't from my body image, it was from knowing that I set a goal and achieved it. The work that you put in is what people recognize. I still had a very hard time taking my shirt off in public. Later on in life I gained a lot of confidence from my responsibilities and just maturing over time. I realized you aren't going to please everyone and you shouldn't even necessary want to make everyone happy or like you. I realized that being yourself is the most important shit you can do in life. The people who accept you for that are more genuine and true to you as a friend as well.
I think that accepting things about yourself also means that you will begin seeing the beauty in other people instead of judging them. You see there "flaws" as unique and something that makes them special, not flawed. For instance, I crumble for a woman with face freckles. Its so visually attractive to me. But, what if in the back of her mind, she falsely believes it to be a fault or a flaw?
Im 24 and being redpilled hard but it all makes sense... im a handsome young man too but I know I have work to do on myself. Happy Birthday Pops... im 5 years late but I still wish the best for you and your family✝️💛
My is guess is when you became adult and started understanding better things in life and what freed you is the fact that you talk about it openly so that’s the beginning of accepting it. Happy birthday for your dad and long life. What a chemistry you have with him man.
Now having a lazy eye is not easy to get over! Because when you speak to people they look you in the eyes and then you become uncomfortable and then freak out a bit and then they think your wired! Now that is a tuff one! Also jumping in on a photo the lazy eye stands out
Slowly going through all your videos, loving them all. But this one really struck home, thanks to your dad. A boy needs a father in his life to show him how to be strong, how to be a man. The biggest disaster we are facing in our society are all the fatherless boys. I see it in my own sons - maybe their father wasn't ideal (who is?) but having their father in their life has been key to their emotional well being.
Rich you and your old man are legends. I wish I had this when I was growing up. Absent father figure and no real love from anywhere else. At 39 I'm just beginning to kinda have a relationship with my dad. Truly feel failed but never will that repeat with my own kids inshallah( god willing) keep doing what you're doing brother. 🙏
Your Farher looks like a English Lord, its the perfect gentleman ... thank you Richard for the great videos I ve buy your book U.Alpha its very good, I have read many books about the theme, yours, its one of the best, we guys dont have any information about real Life & women, its your stuff that save us, thank you
another first born son here Richard! Sometimes dads are really hard on us, and to be fair with them, they don't know much about parenthood... so it's very difficult... I'm still struggling with my father (always present in my life) and some issues related with my childhood and teenage years and the relationship with him in those years... Quite a subject for you to talk about! Cheers from Argentina! I find your channel awesome!!
Well, you have a great father! A good old British lad! I was burned in an explosion in my early years and my mother could not believe it when I became a fireman in my early 30's. I said Mom, You must overcome your fears somehow! I get paid lots of money to do it but I still crap my pants occasionally! 18 years later and I still feel inadequate! I have seen horrible things and I have witnessed miracles! love helping people but I do suffer from the heart break! Sleepless nights and drinking more than I should. High blood pressure and physical ailments but I'm still going! I have had thoughts of suicide at times and I struggle with the bad outcomes! Thanks Richard for being a survivor! Survivors should give back! I plan on it sir!
Growing up short with a negative ape index and small hands definitely had me self-conscious for a very long time but when I got into powerlifting after skateboarding, I got really really strong, and so did my hands, even to the point of doing one arm pull ups and one-arm push-ups, even doing push-ups from just two fingers on each hand, definitely has given me a lot of confidence and building up a lot of leg muscles and back muscles also gave me a lot of confidence but what helped me the most when it came to keeping my head up was improving my style and changing my mindset, because having muscles is great but without personality and without a strong mind, they are just for show and that is not enough. You gotta know yourself and trust yourself. I tell people, walk with intention-speak with intention-act with intention as it'll surely boost your confidence, and others will see you as confident.
Great advice, make a decision to be tough and lift weights, then confidence, love it. My sister pulled a kettle on herself too Rich, about 3yo and spent a long time in hospital, skin grafts, got her on one side of face and chest, has scarring the same as you have, she had to accept herself too, she has learnt how to do makeup and is very attractive, has a great management position, super confident and understanding of others, she’s a good example like yourself, happy birthday Pops, takes a legend to make another one like Rich, be proud.
Is your dad from the UK? He sounds like a true Englishman. Tell him happy birthday from this side of the pond he looks well for 75. I have suffered with anxiety most of my life and i know its in the head but I think that we are born with some issues that will always be with us to the end. Ps if your dad is from the UK what does he miss the most about it? Nice vid
@@EntrepreneursInCars Ha! Hating the hot summers. How ironic. I saw someone I know in the UK post house paint colours on Facebook and one was called "Summer Grey" lol. I guess there's no place like home
Your right though, it seems the fear tends to hurt more than actually help you, that day sure looked beautiful though, blue sky and with your pop pop, hope he lives to be 100 But i get it, the need to rewire yourself
hey man ive been dealing with hair loss. its a hard road i never realised what it was like for guys going through this. truth is when i was younger i never ever thought anything different about bald dudes. Baldness causes alot of insecurities and stuff. but straight up ive realised the only thing i really ever valued men by was there financial status. nothing in life really matters and tbh if ur gunna be insecure about being bald u gotta realise that everyone has something they are insecure about. when u get over becoming bald youll just be worried about something else 'wrong with you' chase your dreams. get that degree like im doing right now!. learn to sail or whatever get some skills bro. BEING BALD DOES NOT DEFINE WHO YOU ARE. YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS IN LIFE DEFINE WHO YOU ARE. people always say michael jordan was the greatest to ever play. no on ever says lebron has better hair., get over yourself and stack that cash. MEN ARE STEEL BE HARD. keep the fist in the air, hold it proud. dont put it through the wall over something you cannot control.
Key is having a Strong father with firm beliefs. Is why I say , men play a very significant part in young boys/mens lives in which Most mothers cant, women are soothing in which fathers are tough and firm.
I miss my dad, we had a great relationship and we often had conversations like your having with your dad. Great video. Keep benefiting from his wisdom.
Richard your remind me of myself, Your Dad has full head of hair like my Dad and I'm Bald. I was hung up over it. Glad to see you 've overcome stuff in your life and gained confidence with Bodybuilding
Richard - Love the videos, man! This video especially resonated with me. I have Crohn's disease... I've had several major intestine/colon surgeries, which have left me with an ostomy pouch (Google it). I allowed this to f*ck with my head and self confidence for years! This mindset is a huge waste of time and energy! Once I finally accepted and embraced my unique situation I felt free again! Thank you for your content! I'm not even a car guy, but I love your videos! LOL
I think at the end of the day there are things we can't change and we have to decide what we are going to do about it. I think an honest accounting of one's qualities would be a useful exercise - list them all out, positive and negative and do an overall balance. Change the things you can, accept the things you can't, and appreciate the good that you have. Everybody has their own mix and that is what makes us valuable to the world, because we can contribute something different to the world than other people. That's why it is BS to value yourself by how similar you are to others - your differences are precisely why you ARE valuable. Talking to others about your flaws seems to help - the more you give others the chance to accept or reject you the more you find out they accept you anyway, and contrary to popular thought I think that other people's acceptance of you is a valuable step in learning to accept yourself. If you have this thought that rattling around in your brain that people won't accept you because of x and you test it out in the real world and find it is not a big deal for people, they accept it, then you can accept it too. Also, don't make it hard by looking for people to accept you who clearly won't. E.g. if you have right wing views, then don't beat yourself against a brick wall trying to be accepted by left leaning people, or vice versa, you may as well male it easy for yourself. If you have scars don't try to get people to accept you who hate scars. That'll just male it hard for you. In the end, the reality is that NOBODY cares about your insecurities. You are the only person who cares about it. We are all hoping that others think highly of us and we don't have time to really analyse people to see if we accept them or not. Acceptance is the default. I didn't have sex until I was 23 and I can't believe I let that hold me back. I felt I should've had sex in high school or university like everyone else, and I didn't want girls to find out because that would undermine my success, I thought. People thought I was a stud but I hadn't even had sex and I was ashamed of it. In hindsight it was ridiculous but it was real for me at the time. What helped me was talking to some people on a self-development course and finding out other people's histories and that nobody cared. Then when I had sex it was different to what I expected (aka the movies) and I couldn't believe that this was what I had tortured myself over. what a waste of time. If you are self-conscious about something, stop focusing on yourself.and focus on others. Because nobody really cares.about your insecurities, they just want you to accept and validate them. Even people.who invalidate others, they just want to be validated themselves
A very happy birthday to you Mr Cooper , you must be so proud , your son has got such an amazing mind , he's spot on, on every video, I use the saying now all the time , Sharing is Caring, what wonderful advice he gives but when he opened up about struggles and failures, it's truly helped me personally and I know there has to be a lot more
You can’t beat a drive out with your dad. My dad is the greatest too. He’s the only person who’s advice I take fully. I think it’s knowing he’s got your best interest and when the chips fall down family is all you have.
Actually I’ve got to mention my mam. She’s been the greatest. Love her to bits. I can tell her anything too. She has dementia now but still tell her everything. I’ve been so lucky, from a big working class family in the 70’S so poor in money but rich in love.
I have accepted myself and I’m content always have been, accept for one Thing employment. I will never trust the system because you can lose your job at the drop of a hat! It’s a never ending battle for survival!
That was pretty cool having your pops on and validating your words bro. Show real authenticity for those haters, Blue Pill Betas, out there! Btw, happy birthday to him! 73 yrs 😎👍🏾
I've always found myself living my life for other people. That is doing what they want and never doing what I want. Mother, girlfriend, or anyone really. Now that I'm older and most of my family has passed, I'm free. But I don't know where to begin. It's time to rebuild. What do I do now to have a good life?
I really like your channel ... You have some awesome advice. This video reminds me of all the Psoriasis treatment commercials put out by the pharmaceutical companies while I'm watching the world news. The one that really stood out to me, was the one where this "attractive" guy and this lady were at a salad bar and the lady gave him a look like she was into him, then she noticed where he had Psoriasis on his elbow and then she gave him one of those grossed out looks and left the scene. I seen this commercial months ago, long before I found your channel and I couldn't help but thinking if someone didn't want to be with me because of a little Psoriasis on my elbow then I sure as hell wouldn't want to be with them ... sorry for the rant, I just had to put that out there.
Vitiligo is cool as fuck! I'm sorry if anybody made you feel like shit for it. There's quite a few people out there that find it really pretty but I could see how its kinda hard to tell what people actually are thinking if theyre just staring.
Happy birthday to your dad Richard! I'm curious, with your company and your videos it's very clear that you like helping people on a deeper level and I'm wondering how long you've been like that. I see many similarities with your thought processes, background with that of my own (I'm 44) but I'm more than a few years behind on the success scale than you are. when you were younger did you like helping people and how or when did that part of your personality develop?
For me its just about giving, building community and sharing experiences that I think men would benefit from. Also love the entertainment aspect of cars too obviously.
Авто/Мото
this CHANNEL is underrated
Moral of the story . Lift weights .
I'd say tackle almost any sort of worthy challenge including academic, career, etc.
Go to a boxing gym and learn how to box...it will become ten times the man than if you just lift alone
What if you can’t naturally add much muscle? I lift but notice my gains are very small my biceps went from 12 to almost 15
@@murraysaucedo897 Those are great gains. Well done mate.
@@thecfbutcher1174 do both
Love the vibe between you and your dad, made me smile through the video
Your dad is a cool dude!
happy birthday to your pops many more years to come !
I like that you had you had your father on the channel as factor in the acceptance department. He serves as a visual aid that is the empirical proof behind your mind set.

Man Freddy Mercury was more of a man than most straight "men" of this and that age, I don't think it matters.

people always say michael jordan was the greatest to ever play. no on ever says lebron has better hair.,
get over yourself and stack that cash. MEN ARE STEEL BE HARD.
keep the fist in the air, hold it proud. dont put it through the wall over something you cannot control.
When the daddy appears , was heart touching
You are who you are, you look how you look, just embrace it and move on.
Key is having a Strong father with firm beliefs. Is why I say , men play a very significant part in young boys/mens lives in which Most mothers cant, women are soothing in which fathers are tough and firm.
I miss my dad, we had a great relationship and we often had conversations like your having with your dad. Great video.
Keep benefiting from his wisdom.
Richard your remind me of myself, Your Dad has full head of hair like my Dad and I'm Bald. I was hung up over it. Glad to see you 've overcome stuff in your life and gained confidence with Bodybuilding
Happy Birthday Dad!! You have a Great Son!!
Richard - Love the videos, man! This video especially resonated with me.
I have Crohn's disease... I've had several major intestine/colon surgeries, which have left me with an ostomy pouch (Google it).
I allowed this to f*ck with my head and self confidence for years! This mindset is a huge waste of time and energy!
Once I finally accepted and embraced my unique situation I felt free again!
Thank you for your content! I'm not even a car guy, but I love your videos! LOL
Your Dad is so Cool!!!
I think at the end of the day there are things we can't change and we have to decide what we are going to do about it. I think an honest accounting of one's qualities would be a useful exercise - list them all out, positive and negative and do an overall balance. Change the things you can, accept the things you can't, and appreciate the good that you have. Everybody has their own mix and that is what makes us valuable to the world, because we can contribute something different to the world than other people. That's why it is BS to value yourself by how similar you are to others - your differences are precisely why you ARE valuable.
Talking to others about your flaws seems to help - the more you give others the chance to accept or reject you the more you find out they accept you anyway, and contrary to popular thought I think that other people's acceptance of you is a valuable step in learning to accept yourself.
If you have this thought that rattling around in your brain that people won't accept you because of x and you test it out in the real world and find it is not a big deal for people, they accept it, then you can accept it too.
Also, don't make it hard by looking for people to accept you who clearly won't. E.g. if you have right wing views, then don't beat yourself against a brick wall trying to be accepted by left leaning people, or vice versa, you may as well male it easy for yourself. If you have scars don't try to get people to accept you who hate scars. That'll just male it hard for you.
In the end, the reality is that NOBODY cares about your insecurities. You are the only person who cares about it. We are all hoping that others think highly of us and we don't have time to really analyse people to see if we accept them or not. Acceptance is the default. I didn't have sex until I was 23 and I can't believe I let that hold me back. I felt I should've had sex in high school or university like everyone else, and I didn't want girls to find out because that would undermine my success, I thought. People thought I was a stud but I hadn't even had sex and I was ashamed of it. In hindsight it was ridiculous but it was real for me at the time. What helped me was talking to some people on a self-development course and finding out other people's histories and that nobody cared. Then when I had sex it was different to what I expected (aka the movies) and I couldn't believe that this was what I had tortured myself over. what a waste of time.
If you are self-conscious about something, stop focusing on yourself.and focus on others. Because nobody really cares.about your insecurities, they just want you to accept and validate them. Even people.who invalidate others, they just want to be validated themselves
A very happy birthday to you Mr Cooper , you must be so proud , your son has got such an amazing mind , he's spot on, on every video, I use the saying now all the time , Sharing is Caring, what wonderful advice he gives but when he opened up about struggles and failures, it's truly helped me personally and I know there has to be a lot more
Happy birthday .blessed you brought your son into this world he is changing many lives. God bless
Happy Birthday to your father. Great site!
I wonder if you could roll the
Happy birthday!!
Great topic and discussion
You can’t beat a drive out with your dad. My dad is the greatest too. He’s the only person who’s advice I take fully. I think it’s knowing he’s got your best interest and when the chips fall down family is all you have.
Actually I’ve got to mention my mam. She’s been the greatest. Love her to bits. I can tell her anything too. She has dementia now but still tell her everything. I’ve been so lucky, from a big working class family in the 70’S so poor in money but rich in love.
Happy Birthday ,pops!😊
This channel is complete and utter gold
I want to feel that power one day. Interesting story.
True words again on another deep subject, and a belated Happy Birthday to Mr C senior...
I love how you speak with your Dad.
I have accepted myself and I’m content always have been, accept for one Thing employment. I will never trust the system because you can lose your job at the drop of a hat! It’s a never ending battle for survival!
Awesome to have a video with your father and his feedback..really cool!
You know you're dealing with someone who loves cars when he puts the video on hold to look at a car passing by.
That was pretty cool having your pops on and validating your words bro. Show real authenticity for those haters, Blue Pill Betas, out there!
Btw, happy birthday to him! 73 yrs 😎👍🏾
Happy birthday Dad! 🎁
Great video mate, thanks
Although too late.. but Happy BD Dad
Very good video.
I've always found myself living my life for other people. That is doing what they want and never doing what I want. Mother, girlfriend, or anyone really. Now that I'm older and most of my family has passed, I'm free. But I don't know where to begin. It's time to rebuild. What do I do now to have a good life?
I really like your channel ... You have some awesome advice. This video reminds me of all the Psoriasis treatment commercials put out by the pharmaceutical companies while I'm watching the world news. The one that really stood out to me, was the one where this "attractive" guy and this lady were at a salad bar and the lady gave him a look like she was into him, then she noticed where he had Psoriasis on his elbow and then she gave him one of those grossed out looks and left the scene. I seen this commercial months ago, long before I found your channel and I couldn't help but thinking if someone didn't want to be with me because of a little Psoriasis on my elbow then I sure as hell wouldn't want to be with them ... sorry for the rant, I just had to put that out there.
Got diagnosed with vitiligo 8 years ago, needed that video thank you!
Vitiligo is cool as fuck! I'm sorry if anybody made you feel like shit for it. There's quite a few people out there that find it really pretty but I could see how its kinda hard to tell what people actually are thinking if theyre just staring.
Fellas, you are great! I hope someday my son will shake my hand this way!)
May your father be blessed with many more birthday's.
Such cool vibe between your father and you, brother. Cheers!
Happy Birthday !
Dammit, I cant triple Thumbs Up this, Respecting Dad (Happy Birthday Sir), Digging Metallica and Sound, Honest Advice..

Your dad's awesome
HBD pops. This is so cool. I miss my dad so much. (Good) Dad's are so important when your going through life.
Your scars actually look badass like a warrior that just came back from battle.
happy birthday!!!
God bless your dad 😊always
Love cars too.. I have a 1970 Dodge Charger 440 ! Great Podcast !!
Nobody is perfect...
happy birthday pops
Happy birthday to your dad Richard! I'm curious, with your company and your videos it's very clear that you like helping people on a deeper level and I'm wondering how long you've been like that. I see many similarities with your thought processes, background with that of my own (I'm 44) but I'm more than a few years behind on the success scale than you are. when you were younger did you like helping people and how or when did that part of your personality develop?
For me its just about giving, building community and sharing experiences that I think men would benefit from. Also love the entertainment aspect of cars too obviously.
damn your pop has swagger
Happy Birthday !!!!! Party on!!!!!!!!
Happy birthday!!!🥳
Happy Birthday!!!
