I thought I had made too many wrong choices. I thought I was too old. I thought "that dream life" wasn't obtainable for me. Then I found Tim! I've started dreaming again and working towards the life "they" say isn't obtainable. Tim, Thank you for being a beautiful inspiration to me and so many others.
Ditto! 52 years old and several paths taken, including many poor choices. But I feel like I am finally getting to know myself and stay open to the future. Thanks for the inspiration, Tim. 👍🏽
There are some of us that had children and have mixed feelings about having them, including regret, but we make the best of our situation, knowing we can’t go back and change anything
Tim this is Herbert out of Chicago I've been following you since the days of your review Greyhound you were on the money then and you are right on the money now keep up the good work
People look at you crazy when you lead an alternative lifestyle. On the flip side, when you are living a "normal/acceptable" life, people still find ways to look at you crazy. Might as well say "fuck it" and follow your bliss.
I have to find the path before I can start walking towards my dream. I've been lost in life's forest for 45 years. Everytime I feel like I almost find my way out of the forrest, more trees grow to keep me disoriented. I need a chainsaw to cut my way through. Take care Tim💕
I just quit my job in Accounting, which I hated, and am starting my own Lawn Care Business for the summer as I study Home Inspecting. I love working outdoors and being my own boss! Every single day I worked in that corporate office I took multiple walks outside because that's what I love to do and I couldn't stand my cubicle.
After living in Florida my whole life, I finally ended my lease, sold all my stuff, and started my road trip around the country with no return date. I'm in colorado now house sitting paying no rent! 3 months no alcohol or drugs. Everyone tried to make me feel like I'm crazy. You're my biggest inspiration Tim!! I love you man, keep doing what you do!
That’s awesome Florida Man!!!! Glad to here you are doing so well. Love you too brother, and I’m honored that I could be used to provide you with inspiration!
Being rich actually solves nothing. Yes, perhaps you'll use the money to pay off debt, pay off your mortgage, buy another home, go out to the bar more often, give to charity etc. However, at the end of the day, you're going to resort back to the same thinking and habits that made you miserable in the first place. Getting magically rich or a random change in circumstances is NOT going to move your life forward. Focusing on what you want in life WILL!
Your primary needs (food, water, shelter, safety) determine 95% of your health and happiness. In some way, shape or form you need to secure those basic needs. That doesn’t require much money, but still some amount. Once you have that, you can dream.
Yes and that is what the system designed on purpose, so that you spend your life chasing the basic needs so that you have no time to dream. A mortgage is the biggest scam on this earth I swear, that and retirement!!
I recently broke up with my girlfriend for sharing many of your views on life (she was looking for someone more traditional). I'm finishing university next year and I dont have any debt. Soon I can be totally free and I wanna express my thanks to you Tim for sharing your knowledge and opinions with us!
Congratulations and goo riddance! My ex wife wasn't happy with a newly remodeled condo in a decent area and a new Honda. She wanted a $2300/month apartment in downtown Denver and a sports car. She wanted to go to London and Sydney and Dubai. I wanted to move to the country and go to the Amazon rainforest on vacation. It took me years to finally divorce her and it was hard at first but I spent 3 months travelling America camping and hiking and living in an old beat up pickup truck... I was MUCH happier in the truck, shitting in the woods than I was with her in a posh hotel in Sydney. And you'll be happier soon, too. You're young. Try some shit out, do some cool shit and go see cool places. I'm going to Mexico for a month with my German exchange student I had before the pandemic. We are going to the Mayan ruins and going on a food tour in Oaxaca and staying in an eco lodge in the Yucatan. It's gonna be WAY better than London. God speed! 💪
Don't stop what your doing Tim. There's things you've said on this channel that changed my entire perspective on life. Things that even the people closest to me were not able to convince me of. Thanks for all the wisdom.
Facts, this dude is a legend. Easily the best philosophical/motivation RUclipsr I've come across. Can't overstate how refreshing it is to hear his point of view.
I think everyone should put more effort into their dreams, myself included. I always say how bad I want to do something but then don't put enough effort into it. Working to get better, hopefully we all get there! True gems you are dropping Tim!
People often choose the easy wrong choices in their lifes just to comfort their downward spiraling, and downward they keep going. They don't want to accept that they are cowards and lazy to do hard choices of their life that uplift their own lifes. It's their own doing. Then when somebody,like you choose to do hard choices but align with your true need. All those cowards come spamming you with 'naive' words. No , you are not naive. You are brave to know your own consequences of every choices you make, then still choose to do it.
Mr. ward being naive and dreamer is better than being mental to believe those nonsense going around the world. Funny part, majority thinks that we are mental :) Watching your videos with huge joy.
I've been feeling something similar to what you talked about, I've been thinking this is the meaning of life, it is to live the best life we can so that when we die we are like a memory drive, the memory drive will serve a purpose in the afterlife, that purpose is still unknown to me, but our purpose and meaning of life in this earth is to fill our memory drive with good things, in preparation for the afterlife
Oh yes, another naive dreamer (and bookworm) here! I have tried many goals in my life, some I could fulfill, others stopped halfway, others just before the finish line. It has taken many hours of regret and self-reproach and some occasional blaming of others/circumstances, to come to the core of it: my unusual constant search is for *peace of mind*. My insight is, that whatever interesting, beautiful, worthy things others strive for, an inner sense of peace is both what I want, and need, to function well and be happy with my life and to accept myself as I am. Stay lively, resurceful, actionable, free Dreamers, Tim, and all of you! We are crossing borders and limits, in our way, and one never knows what we are useful for! 🙂 It sure will show!
So, the weather in Seattle has made me sick & depressed for 6 decades. Born & raised here. Covid-19 knocked me on my butt for 3 years. I'm going to turn it into a positive & move to a hot, sunny climate! I'm packing & was so HYPED & Happy...until a close family member said "What? You can't AFFORD THAT! GO TO IDAHO INSTEAD!" No! I want AWAY from the snow. So, yesterday...I was in the dumps. Today, I'm reaching out for my dream of living my best life to it's fullest. Because I'm a Naive Dreamer & Because of Timothy Ward! Thank you...❤ Signed, Sick of Seattle
Timothy's philosophy is not a philosophy of deep inner despair of ignoring reality as many may think. His philosophy seems to be how you deal with existing in a world that is in itself in a state of despair and how to overcome it with honest hard work and not be a part of any of that world that's in a perpetual state of despair. Bite down like a stubborn mad bulldog and don't give up on your self. Give up/let go of that negative world around you instead.
I read an article in the Epoch Times in which the woman wrote about taking risks, failing and the chemicals those events secrete in our brains. They are as vital as to our happiness as joy and success
Timothy Ward. I'm glad I came across your channel and listening to you is always, well-worth my time. For me, you had cracked the codes that I was having troubling finding the answers to this life we live. You had me continue and trust on my path; this exciting journey we should all be living -going after what we want, doing what we love the most, and becoming who we truly are in our hearts and soul (and much more)! So, I thank you. Thank you for sharing with us.
Woo woo hippy talk is why I'm crazy for Tim and his channel. Tim's ideas, thoughts, adventures, challenges, blessings, and whatever the rant (Tim's word). Genuine, educational, and inspiring. Thank you for sharing...
Yes. I agree Tim!Great ! What you focus on is what comes into your life ! You have got be a free thinker and steal the ship of your life to what you love ! Love is not concerned with money . If you want it ! Just do it! Chase it! Your not gonna find it bitching about it! Anything is possible ! You have to have a dream ! Yes right on Mr Tim. God Bless. ✌️
Thanks!! I started the Journey you're describing here a year ago. Turning 35 this month. Never really had anything, never really wanted anything. It's been hard to start understanding that there are things out there for *Me* to strive towards, to dream about, to hope for, to love and truly enjoy. The year has been difficult, but during dark times I remind myself that it will be worth it in the end, even if right now I don't even have an idea what *it* will end up being, it will be what *I* am meant for. ❤❤
This is a great episode Tim. What you focus on is what comes into your life. This is 100% true. Set goals or make a bucket list and focus on it. Don’t get bogged down in the “how”.
I've noticed in life that you naturally move towards those things that feel good for you. For example I enjoy travels (international) so rather then having a traditional job that only allows me to take off short "vacations" I work various jobs so I can travel for much longer durations. The trade off is that I make considerably less money but I don't have the desire to own a home filled with tons of stuff and cars. Most people trade their livelihood for money hoping it will buy them more time (which is partially true) but I focus on how much time can I get back without working as hard. I think if we were able to escape the mindset of work-->buy more-->> work more we would all have more time to do the things that we actually wanna do. Don't ever trade your time for excess of things you can never buy time back. IN short live as simple as you can within your means (including family) and buy time rather then things.
Great content Tim...I just think sometimes we gotta just put things out to the universe and see what happens..We are meant to explore our planet..not be debt slaves to the government or the man..The old saying if you can dream it then you can be it or do it..just my thoughts!!
The most important thing in my life is a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ . I was 32 y.o. at the time and living in Greensboro NC. Iam still working as a carpenter and now single at 67y.o. 😊
I broke out of the typical middle class way of living back in 2008, and I haven't stopped since. I've experienced so much, and there's so much more to experience now. The starting place was never about money but about knowing what I truly wanted to put my energy into and the world around made so many things work out in its own way. Yes, fear stops everyone in their tracks.
I am recently retired. I just bought a Ford Transit Connect and I am tricking it out. Next spring I am going north and getting the hell out of this miserable Texas heat. I am going to go and catch some fish I have never caught before in North Dakota, Montana and Idaho.
Being “woo-woo” is the depth- its the real truth. Loved your universal laws examples. Spot on. We are prisoners of our man made systems. Hubs and I are 2 mos early retired at 53. Simplified and taking this next phase to seek deeper meaning, connect with ourselves, others, and our planet. You’ve been an inspiration to us!
I’m hitting the road in the morning. I’ve been staying just in Houston for the last few months but now I’m about to leave the state, unfamiliar territory (except I my family did do cross country road trips every summer). But now I’m going to be paying closer attention to city crime maps & be on higher alert.
Stumbled across your channel a couple of weeks ago and I can't get enough. I'm almost 60 and spent my entire life trying to live up to societal and other external expectations. I'm finally, thanks to your encouragement, giving myself permission to pursue the life I've always known I wanted. Thank you!!!
I totally agree! Those dreams and desires that have been placed inside of us are designed and meant to be created and manifested into reality. Not only for our joy but also for the good of others. So grateful brothers like you have chosen to do the work to manifest those desires and dreams to inspire others to do the same. Keep doing your thing, Tim. Peace!
I’m a new fan of yours, discovered you a week ago and your videos have been helping me a bunch. I’m watching all your old ones and I’m excited to see what’s next! Your positivity is in powering and inspiring.
I 100% agree with you! I was in a not so great situation several years back and decided to go live in my car, did it for about eight months and it was very life-changing. I went back to try to live a “normal life” and things just didn’t feel the same. So now I’m going back out on the road, this time with a converted SUV. It wasn’t always easy, but if you can try and move past the obstacles, even if you don’t get there, you’ll get somewhere different than what you thought you could. So I am totally with you on that ! By the way, where are you? Where is that gorgeous walk in the background? Would love to add that to my bucket list. 😄😜
I want a piece of land ,small farm/garden. Im joining my cousin in business so one day I can sit in my Cabin, and live off the land. I want a rv , Id like to make a small beach/pond on my land. I have back up dreams too . I hope everyone get where they want to go.
It's about choices, Tim. You can do your thang because you're single, no children. Im in same boat. 💅🏿 If I had children, I would be working full time...and homeschool them. I would live my "dreams" when they're grown and independent.
A little plea directly to you, Tim - with a huge thanks for your videos so far, if you could keep doing what you are doing, and would add a sentence or two about the environment you are filming in, my curiosity about those views would be stilled. I'm sure you know, and could add it in a Post Scriptum in the video. Greetings from Sweden, with many trails and calm places, too! I love that you take us to these gems in your life!
Tim!!! Hi, nice to kinda know you! Currently watching and thoroughly in-joying "What Life's Really Like as a Middle-Aged INTROVERT" We are definitely from the same galaxy. I am literally screaming out loud from the resonance!!!! Thank you for being you! P.S Let me know if you need a lesson in cloaking. I take invisible walks all the time 😅
Love your content! Gives me thoughts to dwell on through work. I think a lot like you naturally but it's great to be reminded, and deconstruct why I think certain ways to be sure that that thought process still applies to me today haha. You've made a lot of videos on future planning(but not overthinking), and living in the present. One thing you haven't touched on much is how much you look back at your past. Do you get lost in nostalgia? Petrified by cringy mistakes or do you laugh at it? Are memories better when youre sharing them with friends? 🤷🏼
Keep preaching Tim! I hear you and feel you! I am working towards my dream life of ease. I currently work in the stress world of healthcare and can't wait to clear out the unnecessary stuff in my life and travel this beautiful world. Keep going and dreaming Tim! #subscribed
I'm battling with chrnoic pain right now, stuck in a stupid cycle of working to make sure I can afford physical therapy. Once I get my health under control I just want to drop it all, go out into the world with what I got and see what it has to offer me.
That was wonderful, so inspiring. The place where you are walking is very nice. I agree with what you said about abundance and how our own minds keep us in boxes. But i am going fight to get out of my box and start living MY life. Take care of Tim❤
i needed to hear this. Many obstacles are in my way of living in a camper 60 miles from here, and i'm willing to sacrifice. The alternative is that it will never happen if i don't try.
Well Hello Mr. Ward…just stumbled upon you and really was so pleasantly surprised to hear you speak-I really vibe with you. I’ve been on a journey the last seven years and would love to hear about yours and perhaps share mine, Thank you for being out there and keeping it so real. You are a good soul and I feel you. God Bless You
I don’t comment often, I just signed in to make this comment but this is my new, leave on in the background while I’m doing stuff.. keep up the good work & wise words tim 👍🏼🤙🏼
Tim what a great message! Yea why can’t we all live our dreams. I think your right we can! The message is so simple believe that you can and you will. Yet so very hard to put into practice. Thanks for the reminder to pursue our dreams. We all deserve it.
I thought I had made too many wrong choices. I thought I was too old. I thought "that dream life" wasn't obtainable for me. Then I found Tim! I've started dreaming again and working towards the life "they" say isn't obtainable. Tim, Thank you for being a beautiful inspiration to me and so many others.
You are so welcome Savannah! I’m so glad to hear that you are dreaming again!!!
Same here. Tim made a significant difference in my life! 😊
Ditto! 52 years old and several paths taken, including many poor choices. But I feel like I am finally getting to know myself and stay open to the future. Thanks for the inspiration, Tim. 👍🏽
Too old? Maybe too old is when your dead 😅
One of the things I am learning is that it's never too late. Thank you for the kick in the rear!
I am starting to see the benefit of being unmarried and without kids. I used to think that I was an outcast but now I feel so lucky.
I feel lucky to be single and my kids are grown and out of the house!
At this time, people are choosing not to marry and have children, more than ever.
Stay single my friend and enjoy it
There are some of us that had children and have mixed feelings about having them, including regret, but we make the best of our situation, knowing we can’t go back and change anything
Tim this is Herbert out of Chicago I've been following you since the days of your review Greyhound you were on the money then and you are right on the money now keep up the good work

Exactly!!!
Spot on! 🎯👏 I couldn't agree more! 👍🌟
that is so true.. good luck folks!
I have to find the path before I can start walking towards my dream. I've been lost in life's forest for 45 years. Everytime I feel like I almost find my way out of the forrest, more trees grow to keep me disoriented. I need a chainsaw to cut my way through. Take care Tim💕
I just quit my job in Accounting, which I hated, and am starting my own Lawn Care Business for the summer as I study Home Inspecting. I love working outdoors and being my own boss! Every single day I worked in that corporate office I took multiple walks outside because that's what I love to do and I couldn't stand my cubicle.
After living in Florida my whole life, I finally ended my lease, sold all my stuff, and started my road trip around the country with no return date. I'm in colorado now house sitting paying no rent! 3 months no alcohol or drugs. Everyone tried to make me feel like I'm crazy. You're my biggest inspiration Tim!! I love you man, keep doing what you do!
That’s awesome Florida Man!!!! Glad to here you are doing so well. Love you too brother, and I’m honored that I could be used to provide you with inspiration!
@@TimothyWard I'm happy to share as my small way of giving back! Best wishes on your next adventure, and may all your dreams come true
How to do the house sitting thing 🤔
Being rich actually solves nothing.
Yes, perhaps you'll use the money to pay off debt, pay off your mortgage, buy another home, go out to the bar more often, give to charity etc.
However, at the end of the day, you're going to resort back to the same thinking and habits that made you miserable in the first place.
Getting magically rich or a random change in circumstances is NOT going to move your life forward. Focusing on what you want in life WILL!
Actualy you can solve something being rich : Help those in need and poor and you'll have a human treasure,big beyond imagination..
People are too afraid to take a risk. They are jealous of your freedom.
Your primary needs (food, water, shelter, safety) determine 95% of your health and happiness. In some way, shape or form you need to secure those basic needs. That doesn’t require much money, but still some amount. Once you have that, you can dream.
Yes! And I've been struggling to meet those needs all of my life!
Yes and that is what the system designed on purpose, so that you spend your life chasing the basic needs so that you have no time to dream. A mortgage is the biggest scam on this earth I swear, that and retirement!!
Goggins makes me wanna go for a run, Tim makes me want start preaching.
😂😂
I read the whole book 📕 Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggy
Nah, it's doable! You just gotta be willing to trade off some habits for others. Life is tradeoff 🤙🏼
Yes, very true.
It definitely is!
I recently broke up with my girlfriend for sharing many of your views on life (she was looking for someone more traditional). I'm finishing university next year and I dont have any debt. Soon I can be totally free and I wanna express my thanks to you Tim for sharing your knowledge and opinions with us!
Ludwig! Glad to hear that you will be totally free soon! Live your life!
Congratulations and goo riddance! My ex wife wasn't happy with a newly remodeled condo in a decent area and a new Honda. She wanted a $2300/month apartment in downtown Denver and a sports car. She wanted to go to London and Sydney and Dubai. I wanted to move to the country and go to the Amazon rainforest on vacation. It took me years to finally divorce her and it was hard at first but I spent 3 months travelling America camping and hiking and living in an old beat up pickup truck...
I was MUCH happier in the truck, shitting in the woods than I was with her in a posh hotel in Sydney. And you'll be happier soon, too.
You're young. Try some shit out, do some cool shit and go see cool places. I'm going to Mexico for a month with my German exchange student I had before the pandemic. We are going to the Mayan ruins and going on a food tour in Oaxaca and staying in an eco lodge in the Yucatan. It's gonna be WAY better than London.
God speed! 💪

goodluck! cool works worked out very good for me, hope does for you as well!
Good luck! There’s some awesome places on Coolworks, I’m sure you’ll find one that works for you.
People just need more playing in their lives
all work and no play makes jack a dull boy!

I agree completely
I think everyone should put more effort into their dreams, myself included. I always say how bad I want to do something but then don't put enough effort into it. Working to get better, hopefully we all get there! True gems you are dropping Tim!
I can relate
“What you focus on comes into your life.”

Yes, fear stops everyone in their tracks.
I am recently retired. I just bought a Ford Transit Connect and I am tricking it out. Next spring I am going north and getting the hell out of this miserable Texas heat. I am going to go and catch some fish I have never caught before in North Dakota, Montana and Idaho.
Reminds me of when people see monks to have it easier to live that life for obvious reasons and not have stress lol 😂❤🎉
Being “woo-woo” is the depth- its the real truth. Loved your universal laws examples. Spot on. We are prisoners of our man made systems. Hubs and I are 2 mos early retired at 53. Simplified and taking this next phase to seek deeper meaning, connect with ourselves, others, and our planet. You’ve been an inspiration to us!
what u focused on grows..
I'm doing it , Tim thanks to you,I'm doing it.Yes Yes yes.😄
A lot of people think I’m crazy for thinking too big but they’re aiming too low
I’m hitting the road in the morning. I’ve been staying just in Houston for the last few months but now I’m about to leave the state, unfamiliar territory (except I my family did do cross country road trips every summer).
But now I’m going to be paying closer attention to city crime maps & be on higher alert.
First stop is some blm dispersed camping somewhere in a state run by democrats.
Stumbled across your channel a couple of weeks ago and I can't get enough. I'm almost 60 and spent my entire life trying to live up to societal and other external expectations. I'm finally, thanks to your encouragement, giving myself permission to pursue the life I've always known I wanted. Thank you!!!
Right on Tim...live long and prosper!
I totally agree! Those dreams and desires that have been placed inside of us are designed and meant to be created and manifested into reality. Not only for our joy but also for the good of others. So grateful brothers like you have chosen to do the work to manifest those desires and dreams to inspire others to do the same. Keep doing your thing, Tim. Peace!
I’m a new fan of yours, discovered you a week ago and your videos have been helping me a bunch. I’m watching all your old ones and I’m excited to see what’s next! Your positivity is in powering and inspiring.
Welcome to the community/ journey Cade! 👍🏾
Thanks for this post. Blessings to you Tim.
I agree. Thank you, Tim.
I 100% agree with you! I was in a not so great situation several years back and decided to go live in my car, did it for about eight months and it was very life-changing. I went back to try to live a “normal life” and things just didn’t feel the same. So now I’m going back out on the road, this time with a converted SUV. It wasn’t always easy, but if you can try and move past the obstacles, even if you don’t get there, you’ll get somewhere different than what you thought you could. So I am totally with you on that !
By the way, where are you? Where is that gorgeous walk in the background? Would love to add that to my bucket list. 😄😜
Teach!!!!!!!!! Tim
I want a piece of land ,small farm/garden. Im joining my cousin in business so one day I can sit in my Cabin, and live off the land. I want a rv , Id like to make a small beach/pond on my land. I have back up dreams too . I hope everyone get where they want to go.
It's about choices, Tim.
You can do your thang because you're single, no children.
Im in same boat. 💅🏿
If I had children, I would be working full time...and homeschool them. I would live my "dreams" when they're grown and independent.
So glad I found your channel 😊
Thank you so much, Tim. I am so grateful to have crossed your path in this season of my life.... you really are a gift.
A little plea directly to you, Tim - with a huge thanks for your videos so far, if you could keep doing what you are doing, and would add a sentence or two about the environment you are filming in, my curiosity about those views would be stilled. I'm sure you know, and could add it in a Post Scriptum in the video. Greetings from Sweden, with many trails and calm places, too! I love that you take us to these gems in your life!
Anything can be possible, why not ? Having a vision for our self and dreams for the future along with good working habits will get you there.
Thanks Tim, I’m happy for you and enjoy your presence
I love your channel. Your message has turned my attitude around.
Please keep doing what you’re doing tim. You’re one of the biggest inspirations in my life and helped me to finally quit my job and travel the world
"What we focus on we live." -Timothy Ward-
Tim!!! Hi, nice to kinda know you! Currently watching and thoroughly in-joying "What Life's Really Like as a Middle-Aged INTROVERT" We are definitely from the same galaxy. I am literally screaming out loud from the resonance!!!! Thank you for being you! P.S Let me know if you need a lesson in cloaking. I take invisible walks all the time 😅
Love your content! Gives me thoughts to dwell on through work. I think a lot like you naturally but it's great to be reminded, and deconstruct why I think certain ways to be sure that that thought process still applies to me today haha.
You've made a lot of videos on future planning(but not overthinking), and living in the present. One thing you haven't touched on much is how much you look back at your past. Do you get lost in nostalgia? Petrified by cringy mistakes or do you laugh at it? Are memories better when youre sharing them with friends? 🤷🏼
You are an entertaining and insightful motivational speaker. This is your calling Tim. I feel better after listening to you.
Keep preaching Tim! I hear you and feel you! I am working towards my dream life of ease. I currently work in the stress world of healthcare and can't wait to clear out the unnecessary stuff in my life and travel this beautiful world. Keep going and dreaming Tim! #subscribed
Listening to you feels like therapy to me. I’m strongly considering selling my house and moving into my car.
I'm battling with chrnoic pain right now, stuck in a stupid cycle of working to make sure I can afford physical therapy. Once I get my health under control I just want to drop it all, go out into the world with what I got and see what it has to offer me.
That was wonderful, so inspiring. The place where you are walking is very nice. I agree with what you said about abundance and how our own minds keep us in boxes. But i am going fight to get out of my box and start living MY life. Take care of Tim❤
Love your pep talks! Thank you!
i needed to hear this. Many obstacles are in my way of living in a camper 60 miles from here, and i'm willing to sacrifice. The alternative is that it will never happen if i don't try.
Well Hello Mr. Ward…just stumbled upon you and really was so pleasantly surprised to hear you speak-I really vibe with you. I’ve been on a journey the last seven years and would love to hear about yours and perhaps share mine, Thank you for being out there and keeping it so real. You are a good soul and I feel you.
God Bless You
WOW!!!!!!!! Thank you Tim
I don’t comment often, I just signed in to make this comment but this is my new, leave on in the background while I’m doing stuff.. keep up the good work & wise words tim 👍🏼🤙🏼
I appreciate you taking the time to comment!!!
THIS VIDEO HELPED ME A LOT, Thank You Timothy Ward :)
Great video and message Tim! ♥️ 78 days sober today 🥲❤️🤠
Well done, Jennifer. Keep moving forward one moment at a time 🥰
@@BeccifromOzfunny to see my old message about 78 days sober. I'm a year sober now and never think about drinking! Hope you are well ❤
@@JenniferLKersten Congratulations! That's amazing. 💕
Tim what a great message! Yea why can’t we all live our dreams. I think your right we can! The message is so simple believe that you can and you will. Yet so very hard to put into practice. Thanks for the reminder to pursue our dreams. We all deserve it.
Sweet 😋 ' coffee ☕️ break time
you are motivational and inspirational to me, keep up the things you do tim.
Thanks for making me believe and actually want to dream and do as I say!
That's a neat elevated wood trail. ..So many trade offs in life. If we can convince ourselves that our own grass is greener it's probably best.
Thank you for being that real positive truth we need!
You're on the right path. I'm quickly learning to merge onto it myself. Thanks!
Great message Tim. We all need to keep dreaming or life just isn't worth living. Thank you for reminding us ❤
