      He sure did I stopped watching his videos awhile back when COVID hit and I couldn’t get to the gym and gained some weight. But he sure taught me a lot and I feel really bad about not watching him he taught me more then just fitness I realize that now. Rest up John and I hope your boys and wife are holding up may good bless them

    I’ve followed John for years. Done many of his workouts, used many of his tips. Two years ago i blew out my shoulder and took a lot of time away from the gym. Lost motivation. Finally got back in, caught covid. Got back in, got in a car accident that injured that same shoulder again last December. I’m still recovering from that, but watching John has kept me motivated to keep going. I built a new program using different workouts hes posted, and taken some of his diet advice like adding eggs and making sure they’re cooked sunny side up to keep the nutrients at their best. John, you’ve taught me a lot, motivated me, and helped me look at life through a more positive lens in dark times. Thank you, you will NEVER be forgotten

Sounds crazy but I swear it was realistic, I went up to him and said no shit John meadows, I follow your platform and big fan your information and advice has helped me a lot. He gave me a pep talk like in sandlot when babe Ruth spoke to the kid. Told me no matter what it’s never gonna be easy but if you stick to your goals, you will always achieve anything. Then he gave me a fist bumb. Never met the dude. It was as real as day. Rip.

You are one of my idols and heroes. This year with covid and everything going on I feel lost and depressed. I have a great coach but even he isn't sure how to help me right now. This video actually made me cry a little bit because it really meant a lot for me to hear this from you publicly today,. I don't normally get this emotional, but thank you, John. I'm going to go pump up in my tinny home gym with the inspiration I got from you today.

    John's kids are very lucky to have a father like him. Ive always had an absent father who ended up leaving us, I always felt inadequate as to being a man and many aspects of life because of that. I'm slowly starting to take control of my life from depression and everything around me, believe it or not once I started training my mindset became more goal oriented. John and his videos are pretty big part of that process. I believe in almost everything this man teaches such as values, training, life lessons etc. Long story short thank you John you're definetly winning at life in my opinion.

John is out here with dad-level advice - whether it’s in the gym, the kitchen, or just about life in general.

    Number 2 hits me hard to be honest.
    i have so much pain mentally and physically, left my family which didnt understand me and they just say "whats wrong with you you are ok" no im not. so I left them, put some negativity away from live. after time i take my self more and more back, lost friends aswell. 24/7 im in thoughts, which seems to others im a arrogant mofo... the only thing which kept and keep me alive is going to the gym and train the fuck out of my soul. having a goal to look up to. ( which currently is hard, i cant do homeworkouts cause of the mentioned problems) got depressions aswell.
    so after you mentioned happieness, i just cried, cause i have none lol

    That’s an outstanding 7 John. I agree with them all, especially ‘Believe in Yourself’. If you don’t believe in [or love or trust or...] yourself, no one else will. It has to be genuine. You can’t fake it. Something else that has come up in a few books that I have read recently regarding this topic is ‘Being Present in the Moment’. No matter what it is-eating breakfast, going on a walk, talking with a friend, working, etc-make an effort to be in the moment, to focus, to pay attention, to devote yourself to what is going on in your life at that very moment. Open all of your senses up and you’ll soon realize that we miss out on wonderful details all around us everyday because we aren’t truly present. Savor each moment in life because once the moment passes it is gone forever.

    I graduated two years ago with a degree I didn't care about and have been totally lost and wandering since then. A lot of people have made fun of me and my confidence has been shattered. I realized recently what was really imporant to me after I started working out and I want to go back to school to study Physiotherapy after witnessing my dad having a stroke and working with Physios to regain control of his life. I'll have to go back to high school first to study biology and I'll only graduate by the time I'm around 30, but I'd rather start late than never and end up in a dead end career I don't care about anyways. What I was really missing was goals and people who belived in me. Thank you for the great video bro.

    I just never give up, been stepping up my goals last few months, just need to be patient and don't surrender. And I've made progress in the 3 months I have fully dedicated myself

    You are actually are a teacher. I am a PE teacher by profession learning so much from you on this time of being home bound. If more people lived by these 7 ways the world would sure be a better place. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into your channel. God bless you.

    Damn, I lost my dad at 12yo, I wish I had a recording of him saying stuff like this... for John's kids, I know right now everything seems so unfair, but trust me, having this video, to hear your dad talk with you is priceless...
