I kayaked 16 miles on the Colorado river to Lee's ferry last week. A beautiful day of amazing nature and pure quiet. Best decision of my life was to not get married. 58 and enjoying the ride of life. Shot 2 over par on the golf course this week. I am a happy man. Timmy C Arizona
Very happy to hear. I finished a long hike today along the river just enjoying the autumn. Never married, I’m only 39 but happy to hear life from the men such as yourself.
06:32 - Love that. More young men need to hear this, so many charlatans on social media keep putting ideas into young man's head that they all need to have a business that make 10,000+ dollars monthly. The truth is very few people can do that. A lot of men feel like failure when they're unable to reach that goal. That's probably why we see a rise of mental health issues.
I’ve always been very hard on myself for failing at something or not completing it the way I wanted. Over the past 5 years I’ve been getting better at detaching from this and enjoying the journey instead.
This is what I needed to hear. Having such a mindset that of a failing perfectionist, I tend to beat myself up whenever I fall short having to have such high expectations for myself.
I have been living in Thailand for a while now. Yesterday, a restaurant owner that I connected with invited me to join him and his son on a motorbike ride up to his farm. My learned western wariness caused me to mentally size him up as to his invitation being possibly scammy. This video made me realize that he is likely legitimate and that he was also sizing me up with greater insight, discovering that I'm harmless and fun to hang out with. My reaction was fear-based and his was not.
Thank you for your insight. I work with a colleague who is ethnic chinese born and raised in Thailand, Bangkok. Interesting guy, he seems to resonate alot of the same messages you speak of in this video. Trying to live only for the present, not saving money, no long term planning. More focus on todays pleasures the better, cooking, eating alot, drinking only coca cola and never drinking water, gambling, helping his family and sending them money from europe. He is single (50+ years old) dating an older single mother He is a stark contrast to me in philosophy and thinking. I am natural long term planner and everything I do is calculated at least year in advance. All my goals overlap and require long term time investment, like investing and developing my homestead, developing skills to make myself feel more free in this prison world. I also keep very healthy habbits which for him is just bizzare. I am also much more selfish than him as a result, introspecting often and I am more wary of others. I am single for 10 years (32yo)
I remember having ingested 4-5 grams of homegrown psilocybin mushrooms, and turning to my girlfriend and saying "it wouldn't matter if I didn't have a great job, it wouldn't matter if I achieved something, it wouldn't matter if I ran into the street and got plowed by a truck, but from my current perspective I can fully appreciate that for no other reason than 'I am' that life is good enough, though you won't hear that too often" Opened my eyes
I just heard the news and I'm brought to tears. You will be missed Spetz.
Hope this guy has gone somewhere better , many thanks , great advice and talk , Mr .
He managed to go somewhere better before he even left earth. If nothing else, this was a core part of his message.

Yeah, just heard he passed away.
And he seemed like a pretty decent Chap..
There's something so calming and uplifting listening to these videos. I feel more in tune with myself and my nature just listening.

An anti-Christian version of Christianity is not countered by non-agreeable beliefs.
I needed to hear this, thank you Spetsnaz RIP
Love you Spetsnaz.
Gald to have you back
Huh, “I set her down hours ago, why are you still carrying her?” That just rang a bell in my head, thank you mate.

Perfect is the enemy of done :D

Most beneficial. Excellent thoughts.

he is dead.
So glad to see you back!
"Discussing the meaning of life with a sweaty bald man in a robe in the middle of the jungle really puts things in perspective." 💯
I have found you again.
I thought you were gone from us, brother. Im glad some others have mirrored your videos or i would have considered you MIA. Subbed to keep you close.
Great video, much to think about.
Thanks for the message.
You are saving souls! You saved mine!❤

Is this real spetsnaz? I am a young student of clinical psychology in europe and I would love to talk to him about a project for male psychology

Internal contentment is the only way, cliché as it may sound.
