Watching your video was for me being in the right spot at the right moment (as always). I would like to comment if I may. Well, you create your own reality even before you incarnate to this world. To advance your spiritual development, you follow a path that is unique to you as billions of other life forms. This morning I read a quote from Lao Tzu that says something like this: "God gives you people you need, not the ones you want. These people are gonna help you, hurt you, harm you, leave you, love you... In this way, they will make you turn into who you should become to be. So, to sum up, how can you exclude or ignore the "bad" things that are happening outside? They're not for avoiding/ running away, they're there for our attention for us to "see" the real purpose of them. Of course, I'm not saying "let's enjoy suffering" but greeting them with an awareness and a conscious mindset, without labeling them as "good" or "bad", seeing them as just experiences, and allowing them to happen may open new perspectives. Then you can free yourself from yourself (you don't necessarily need an external source to criticize yourself). I know saying these things is easy but implementing is much more difficult. Good luck to all of you in your journeys!
you are very correct. In fact we are all moving around the nucleus, getting closer and closer to our Supreme desideratum. And obstacles, challenges are the forces that help us to become stronger and to move ahead on the path. Seen in the light of this perspective, you can say that struggle against these obstacles is the very essence of life without which we would move towards retardation, toward our animalistic tendencies. But we must move ahead, with heads held high, not only in the physical and psychic strata but also in the spiritual arena. We must subtilize and channelise our mind's restlessness into the grand ocean of inner peace and fulfilment. This is only done through spiritual practice.

You should look into the importance and decreasing moments of intimacy in the modern world. The privacy law sector is only biegining to tackle this very important matter. Imagine a world, where simply just a having a minute to yourself, or with. a loved one, or someone you find - lovely Imagine a world, where such intimate moments are been invasived on.

You are not alone, we all are fighting our own thoughts constantly. But if you have examples of putting restraint on yourself it maybe on food & sexual urges etc. Remember those successes and use them as fuel to prevent yourself from entring into a slump. Again and again. Just dont get distracted and soon you will be fine. This comment is for the viewer as well as for me as a reference point.
What stood out about you which made me keep coming back is the simplicity of your videos, the titles are catchy enough to attract curiosity and that's it. The way you speak so calmly unlike other youtubers who talk enthusiastically fast, and the fact that there's no motivational bg music and edits is really soothing. And also it feels like talking to a friend who read a book (whenever you quote seneca or other thinkers) and is giving me advice based on what he read instead of acting like he's a "know it all"
There is an incredible power in not forming a mental and verbal opinion. How often we give over our power to people and things that have no bearing on our lives.
The Serenity Prayer....a world of philosophy bound up in a prayer. 'Accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things i can...' i always need to self improve.
I wish I meet more people of depth in real life. Sometimes u feel like u are the only misfit but you’ve learned to pour all your energy into something that u gives you meaning, instead of wasting it on people who wouldn’t understand you just to keep them around. It would be draining.
I too wish I can meet more people of depth in real life, and also to become more in depth and in touch with myself (in progress). I'm at a stage in my life where I need to stop wasting my energy on people (loved ones) who don't understand me or don't want to elevate themselves as I do. It is definitely draining.
Truly resonates with my personal experience: I had a job which paid very well until the day it stopped. I was overworked and enslaved until it came to an end. Some would say that was ‘bad’. However, I since started working less altogether. I cut expenses and live more frugally. I have more quality time to myself, time to exercise, read, reflect… Biggest take out from this experience; accept the universe! Thank you.
I experienced a flash flood. Water got in my basement. In the general scheme of things the outcome could have been worse. I ended up throwing away junk and decluttering my basement. Sometimes a positive outcome can bloom from something like a flood that I had no control over and had to watch. This was a good lesson thank you
"Learn to be indifferent to indifferent things" is a very specific & incredible point you made in this video. Sometimes, the people who cause the most chaos in our lives are actually indifferent about everything & they simply float around like that. It is our own reaction to them that causes a lack of peace within ourselves. Something which is telling. I've recently learned that many people tend to be indifferent towards me or they don't pay any attention to anything in general. Only mindless topics. This however dictates nothing when it comes to our own value & our potential. So yes, learning to be indifferent towards indifferent things truly is a conscious choice one must make again & again whilst reminding themselves as to what naturally aligns & sparks passion. Indifferent things being indifferent towards us do not dictate our value, unless we let it.
I've had incessant negative thoughts for half my life, it really slowed down my life process and self belief. I have been trying to learn how NOT to think anymore and instead ACT on my life in the best way i know how.. if you act things feel better, that i am making some progress and as much as a negative thought pattern can paralyze you, a positive or even slightly positive thought pattern can produce its own positive mind cycles.. It will take months maybe years but at least i am taking life in my own hands now. Your calm demeanour puts me at ease when i start getting myself down and many of your messages have parallels with Eckhart Tolle and being present, which is something that really resonates with me.
I'm so happy I found your channel now, while going through a crisis. I don't have the courage to put into words what I feel. But I do listen. Your videos help me understand many thought patterns I had. Thank you!
Here for my weekly dose of goodness. I swear I feel grounded and calmer everytime I watch one of these. Also the complex concepts, which he always succeeds at explaining them so elegantly, with a hint of simplicity, not the easiest, but simple enough to comprehend and bring change.
Thank you, helps to be reminded to be content. When I try and stay grateful for every little thing and not complain or be negative I always feel happier.
I tried so hard to keep ignoring the facts that my marriage is over long time ago. But because i am brains-washed to believe that i need to keep it because of beliefs of religion. I call it quits no matter what people think. My health suffers after long time keeping it together, lost my job , my daughter is taken away and find my self in a dark room crying isolated for the last 3 months without seeing the outside the world i feel like a failed as a mother. Then it hits me no matter what i will be grateful even to simple things even to the breath of life! I choose to grateful every morning, I learned to sell things, and become minimalist and find ways I discovered meditation breath works and realize if those things didn’t happened to me i will never be able to be grateful, I always pride myself achieving everything I want I control everything until it happens! I was able to look and smell the flowers and realize my life is not bad after all. 😊❤
Absolutely! 🙌 Finding happiness is often simpler than we think-it's about taking control of our mindset and focusing on what truly matters. Remember, true freedom comes from mastering our reactions to external events and embracing the power we have over our own happiness.
Thank you so much for your insights. I've been watching them for a while and they've rekindled a deep desire in me to continue challenging my beliefs and moving forward. Thank you
My biggest problem lately has been feeling like since I finished university, my social life and friends have drifted away from me. I'm getting older, approaching 30, I'll be 27 this year, and most of my friends have moved away, either far away or abroad. It was difficult for a while to come to terms with this, but now I've reached a point where I can be completely happy alone. Many people are not capable of being alone; I think this is something you have to learn. My best friend has become my girlfriend, although I still meet with 'buddies' a few times a month, my true, best friends are far away from me, and we mostly keep in touch online, but we talk about everything every day and sometimes meet. We might have to see the experience of friends drifting away as an opportunity for personal transformation and the cultivation of inner strength. So, the essence is: you have to learn to be alone and accept the changes in life. Edit: this guy's hair is insane as always! :D
The worst thing that ever happened to me was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. I went from 40 years of narcissistic abuse to working towards total liberation and individuation. Ill more than likely be capable of helping others heal themselves, which is an eternal gift and worth every moment of abuse i experienced. I sacrificed a Dysfunctional family for the Real 🌍❤🎉😊
How can I be indifferent towards the injustice taking place in the world? how can this injustice be changed if everyone was indifferent?? Even if it's out of our control, we can at least draw attention to it so the ones in control can change it 🙁
Marcus aurelius says,"You can also commit injustice by doing nothing." Remember, the stoics were all about virtues, and when they talk about indifference, it is different from the conventional meaning(to show no emotions). Indifference, at least in marcus aurelius terms means to not get overwhelmed by emotions, whether something good happens to you or something bad, and to see the thing for what it is and then commit virtuous act. Standing up against injustice is something that aligns with stoic principles, and a great example of it is marcus cato, who stood up against the tyranny of Julius Ceasar. Apologies for my bad grammar 😅

I can't thank you enough for your content and always look forward to your videos. The one you did last week was life changing for me and I keep going back to it. I hope you keep these up because it is helping so many others as well. 😊
This is certainly helpful, especially when things in life go really bad, which they did for me recently. It almost looks like we are being tested to become better versions of ourselves. Maybe also being this resilient is one of the ways of becoming wiser. Thank you.
Thank you for your amazing advice as usual. I wonder if you could start an online book club. It would be great if many people bring different points of views about these topics.
"What stands in the way becomes the way" seems to be the essential perception of truth. Truth has always been the deepest source of happiness to me. Truly, no matter how things go my way, I'm eager to accept them with indifference, as it's not up to me to "fix" the world, but myself. Very interesting point of view that just "proves" the phenomenology of life. Philosophy teaches us how to be happy. That's why I've been in it since my childhood. Always creates some sort of "peace of mind". Thank you so much for your prudent speech that keeps on clarifying essential things.
My dad passed away a bit over a year ago and I lost my happiness for living for such a long time since then. This video popped up in my live after asking the universe so much to find meaning again! ❤❤❤
We do colour our thoughts and it is self imposed.I’m learning to let go,practice mindfulness and appreciate everything that blesses my day,not give energy to things outside of my control and not to put obstacles in the way of things that are.It’s a process and happiness for me is in nature and seeing the beauty,the rest then becomes less significant.

Thank you for this. Only recently discovered your channel this week and just got fired from my job yesterday. I’ve been exploring a lot of new passions and have been really trying to better myself and grow as a person this year. I was so focused on my personal stuff my performance started dropping at work a lot. This led to me ultimately being let go. I had the hardest time going to sleep. Regretting and questioning everything I had done that led to that point. It’s now the 2nd night and I’m in bed again with the same problem. This is where your video has reached me. As sad as I am to have this black mark on my record, this is also a chance to learn and grow from my mistakes. I will turn my failure into an opportunity.
Yes, I am learning not to define people when we disagree because by doing so causes a separation which equals negativity and superiority. I choose not to participate easier said than done I must admit. I am a constant work of art, though it may be bright or dark I will continue to strive for for the brightest path.
I am beyond words of gratitude for your channel and you taking the time to share the wisdom youve come to learn through life so openly and loving. I've been wanting to start my own channel of the same sort.... Just talk. Find like minded people and maybe even leave an impact along the way.
As a person who find her life during the 4 years in a good way, I'd like to say that the definition of happiness has various types of ways to elaborate. What we can imply in our lives about the happiness from all of these stochastic philosophers or other thinkers like Marcus Aurelius told us 2000 years ago Life may not give you what you want, but it will give you what you need. Life is yours, not anyone else. What I infer during these years myself is utterly giving the ultimate importance to myself by my hands rather than waiting for external factors. Greetings.
Yes! Mr. Miyagi way of thinking!! 'Wax on, wax off " Sand the floor" "Paint the fence" Exercise the mind( training) til you're in control and you dont put energy into things that you shouldn't 13:12 . I will have to start training lol You are very wise 🦉 thank you😊
Some can not be happy without, and therefore cannot be indifferent towards, something external. For example; love. What if you are with someone and they end it without any explanation, and you can not feel happy knowing what life was like with that specific person and the fact that you haven't met another person like than in all the years you've been alive. How can we be indifferent to that even though we have no control over it? You could say that life is how you deal with what happens, but life is also being lucky to be able to get what makes you happy.
I like that you talk about lying.. really like had to lie to survive and now i want to come back on the way of truth. If it's possible. I'm not perfect..
Hello! Just discovered your channel (lol was going to write challenge! ) and wanted to say Hi! I perceive Aquarius/Gemini energy here :D Thank you for being (you!). Bye!
It is worth mentioning that while you should be indifferent to indifferent things, this does not mean you should act indifferently to these things. Indifference to our happiness, not indifference to our actions. Say you are walking to the bus stop and it unexpectedly starts raining. You shouldn’t be upset at the rain or the fact you are now wet, but you should still act rationally and seek shelter from the rain. Someone steals one of your possessions - your happiness should be unaffected but you should still rationally pursue the steps to try get the possession back if it would be worthwhile to do so. Indifference to our happiness, not indifference to our actions.
Very good point indeed. We must not forget that we live in a relative world and that certain things must get done to be able to go on/function as human beings with needs.

Watching your video was for me being in the right spot at the right moment (as always).
I would like to comment if I may.
Well, you create your own reality even before you incarnate to this world. To advance your spiritual development, you follow a path that is unique to you as billions of other life forms. This morning I read a quote from Lao Tzu that says something like this: "God gives you people you need, not the ones you want. These people are gonna help you, hurt you, harm you, leave you, love you... In this way, they will make you turn into who you should become to be.
So, to sum up, how can you exclude or ignore the "bad" things that are happening outside? They're not for avoiding/ running away, they're there for our attention for us to "see" the real purpose of them. Of course, I'm not saying "let's enjoy suffering" but greeting them with an awareness and a conscious mindset, without labeling them as "good" or "bad", seeing them as just experiences, and allowing them to happen may open new perspectives. Then you can free yourself from yourself (you don't necessarily need an external source to criticize yourself). I know saying these things is easy but implementing is much more difficult.
Good luck to all of you in your journeys!
you are very correct. In fact we are all moving around the nucleus, getting closer and closer to our Supreme desideratum. And obstacles, challenges are the forces that help us to become stronger and to move ahead on the path. Seen in the light of this perspective, you can say that struggle against these obstacles is the very essence of life without which we would move towards retardation, toward our animalistic tendencies. But we must move ahead, with heads held high, not only in the physical and psychic strata but also in the spiritual arena. We must subtilize and channelise our mind's restlessness into the grand ocean of inner peace and fulfilment. This is only done through spiritual practice.

My biggest problem lately has been feeling like since I finished university, my social life and friends have drifted away from me. I'm getting older, approaching 30, I'll be 27 this year, and most of my friends have moved away, either far away or abroad. It was difficult for a while to come to terms with this, but now I've reached a point where I can be completely happy alone. Many people are not capable of being alone; I think this is something you have to learn. My best friend has become my girlfriend, although I still meet with 'buddies' a few times a month, my true, best friends are far away from me, and we mostly keep in touch online, but we talk about everything every day and sometimes meet. We might have to see the experience of friends drifting away as an opportunity for personal transformation and the cultivation of inner strength. So, the essence is: you have to learn to be alone and accept the changes in life. Edit: this guy's hair is insane as always! :D

This is certainly helpful, especially when things in life go really bad, which they did for me recently. It almost looks like we are being tested to become better versions of ourselves. Maybe also being this resilient is one of the ways of becoming wiser. Thank you.
Thank you for your amazing advice as usual. I wonder if you could start an online book club. It would be great if many people bring different points of views about these topics.
"What stands in the way becomes the way" seems to be the essential perception of truth. Truth has always been the deepest source of happiness to me. Truly, no matter how things go my way, I'm eager to accept them with indifference, as it's not up to me to "fix" the world, but myself. Very interesting point of view that just "proves" the phenomenology of life. Philosophy teaches us how to be happy. That's why I've been in it since my childhood. Always creates some sort of "peace of mind". Thank you so much for your prudent speech that keeps on clarifying essential things.
Watching your videos are like having a private conversation with a close friend....thank you.
Wise words, well said.
What a wise intelligent knowledgeable handsome man! I’m sending you lots of love💕 God bless you
i'm so glad to find your channel. this is the second video of you that i watched. you are very helpful.
For the past little while I’ve felt like I’ve falling of the path of a good life, Watching your videos help me feel like I’m finding my way back
This helped me gain logic when I really needed it. Thank you
You are clearly a scholar, Mr., but you also double as a psychologist. And you read, and share this wisdom here with us. Thank you.
Some of your videos, I watch them more than once.
My dad passed away a bit over a year ago and I lost my happiness for living for such a long time since then. This video popped up in my live after asking the universe so much to find meaning again! ❤❤❤
We do colour our thoughts and it is self imposed.I’m learning to let go,practice mindfulness and appreciate everything that blesses my day,not give energy to things outside of my control and not to put obstacles in the way of things that are.It’s a process and happiness for me is in nature and seeing the beauty,the rest then becomes less significant.
Thank you. I needed to hear this today. ❤
You are absolutely correct. Thanks for your contributions here. A lot to ponder.
what a pleasure to start the day in your company, good words, a cool new hair style!
He gotta make a video on how to be a good speaker in a way that people would want to sit and listen to your words. How to keep the flow, use the right words, and be relatable to other people's experiences. Just like the way he is!
What stands in the way becomes the way
Just discovered your videos, love them. Have shared them with friends. Thanks 😘
It's like Ian Asbury Alter ego philosopher.😌
I just found your channel this week, and I love your content and the way you communicate it 👍
You just gained a new subscriber because your demeanor is very warm and welcoming, also your words are simple but powerful. developing the ability to listen with pure or the right intent
Hello from New Zealand :)
Here are three haikus inspired by three statements in this video
"Thinking makes it so"
Free yourself today
From self-imposed slavery
The whip in your mind
"What stands in the way becomes the way"
Whether poor or rich
Frugality will remain
Your most faithful guide
"Learn to be indifferent to indifferent things"
To accept what is
Take responsibility
Only in your stride
Another great video, kind sir - thank you, very much
Thank you for this. Only recently discovered your channel this week and just got fired from my job yesterday. I’ve been exploring a lot of new passions and have been really trying to better myself and grow as a person this year. I was so focused on my personal stuff my performance started dropping at work a lot. This led to me ultimately being let go. I had the hardest time going to sleep. Regretting and questioning everything I had done that led to that point. It’s now the 2nd night and I’m in bed again with the same problem. This is where your video has reached me. As sad as I am to have this black mark on my record, this is also a chance to learn and grow from my mistakes. I will turn my failure into an opportunity.
Yes, I am learning not to define people when we disagree because by doing so causes a separation which equals negativity and superiority. I choose not to participate easier said than done I must admit.
I am a constant work of art, though it may be bright or dark I will continue to strive for for the brightest path.
I am beyond words of gratitude for your channel and you taking the time to share the wisdom youve come to learn through life so openly and loving. I've been wanting to start my own channel of the same sort.... Just talk. Find like minded people and maybe even leave an impact along the way.
I needed this video. Thank you, and I'm glad I discovered your channel.
Another helpful and meaningful video ❤❤❤
My intuition says that this truth (being responsible only for what you can change) could cure my anxiety
As a person who find her life during the 4 years in a good way, I'd like to say that the definition of happiness has various types of ways to elaborate. What we can imply in our lives about the happiness from all of these stochastic philosophers or other thinkers like Marcus Aurelius told us 2000 years ago
Life may not give you what you want, but it will give you what you need.
Life is yours, not anyone else. What I infer during these years myself is utterly giving the ultimate importance to myself by my hands rather than waiting for external factors.
Greetings.
DON'T LET THEM BOTHER YOU ,JUST KNOW YOUR VALUE ❤
Yes! Mr. Miyagi way of thinking!! 'Wax on, wax off " Sand the floor" "Paint the fence" Exercise the mind( training) til you're in control and you dont put energy into things that you shouldn't 13:12 . I will have to start training lol You are very wise 🦉 thank you😊
Some can not be happy without, and therefore cannot be indifferent towards, something external. For example; love. What if you are with someone and they end it without any explanation, and you can not feel happy knowing what life was like with that specific person and the fact that you haven't met another person like than in all the years you've been alive. How can we be indifferent to that even though we have no control over it? You could say that life is how you deal with what happens, but life is also being lucky to be able to get what makes you happy.
Wow, perfect timing in my life for this, it feels magical. Thanks for sharing and inspiring 🤍
Sometimes im confused abot empathy yeah logic is a hold up getting society to keep moving forward ..and it reruns.😅
I like that you talk about lying.. really like had to lie to survive and now i want to come back on the way of truth. If it's possible. I'm not perfect..
It’s true, sometimes people are in situations where they need to lie to survive, or even not to be killed.
Brother, your content is great. And that’s in your control. I truly hope you are going great
Thank you ✌️🌈🌹👍🌈💫✨
Hello! Just discovered your channel (lol was going to write challenge! ) and wanted to say Hi! I perceive Aquarius/Gemini energy here :D
Thank you for being (you!). Bye!
wow this was perfect timing, came at the right time in my life.
It is worth mentioning that while you should be indifferent to indifferent things, this does not mean you should act indifferently to these things. Indifference to our happiness, not indifference to our actions. Say you are walking to the bus stop and it unexpectedly starts raining. You shouldn’t be upset at the rain or the fact you are now wet, but you should still act rationally and seek shelter from the rain. Someone steals one of your possessions - your happiness should be unaffected but you should still rationally pursue the steps to try get the possession back if it would be worthwhile to do so. Indifference to our happiness, not indifference to our actions.
Very good point indeed. We must not forget that we live in a relative world and that certain things must get done to be able to go on/function as human beings with needs.
Your videos bring me back to my centre. Thank you. But also leave with some questions (as always 😂 - dubitandum est)
Thank you so much! I needed this 🫂
Such a lovely videoxxxthank you❤
Love your videos and the wisdom
