Oh my! I'm so overjoyed with all of your sweet and loving comments. Thank you, thank you, thank you :) If you have enjoyed this video please SHARE it with your loved ones
Mimi Ikonn Mimi you seem to be such a beautiful person ☺ You and Alex are so inspiring! You guys enjoy the simple things in life and are smiling most of the time. I love watching your videos or Insta Story, it kinda reminds me to be grateful for the little things and the people in my life. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤
I don't usually comment on videos but this one made me cry at the end. If you read this I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for changing my life and the way i think about my future. I have been watching your videos for years and you made me truly believe that I can accomplish anything if I set my mind to it. I was born in a small town in Romania and I wasn't in the top of my class. I was dreaming of living in the south of France and practicing medicine but it everyone said it was impossible, too hard for me. My own parents told me to go to another faculty because medicine is too hard for me. Now I am in the fifth year (i have one more and i finish). My boyfriend, who always believed in me and in my dreams, finished last year and is now a young doctor in Nice, France. I go there every three weeks and next year I will take the exam there (just like him) and I will go there to be a doctor too! Thank you for everything. You are a life changer. From your videos with Alex I learned what a healthy relationship really is and now I have a fulfilling relationship of 9 years. Thank you!!
This is so great, thank you for sharing your story! It's amazing that even though everyone around you said that your dream is impossible, you followed your inner calling and did it anyway. Felicitări! (Şi eu sunt din România, o lume mică!)
Haha it is actually true, once you overcome one problem, your mind just has to notice another hahah. Like with me, I had acne for 2 years and once my skin 'cleared', I began trying to get rid of black heads and scarring, when I should've just been grateful for not suffering from acne anymore haha.
It took me hours to complete watching this video, because at every other advice I just had to stop and spring up and do something else and think of what you said. I even went out running, and came back after an hour when you talked about being responsible of our lives. This is super strong material. No wonder you cried. May take days to digest it. I saved it at my favourites and I think I'll get back to it several times. Honestly I can't think of anything more worthwhile to watch.
I don't comment on videos very often. But i have to say this: my boyfriend cheated on me for the last two weeks and just told me earlier today. Nothing could cheer me up, but after watching your video I feel like it's gonna be okay someday.
many of us have been there. the universe is giving you an opportunity to move on and find the one for you. this was just an experience. and yes, you will be not only fine, you will be perfect.
remember, just like Mimi said, "don't settle for anything less than you deserve". It will be ok, and time really does help. I hope you feel better soon xx
Lena he doesn't deserve you! The universe has someone much better for you waiting, just close the chapter of the past and the new chapter will start. This will only make you stronger
I got very emotional when Alex came next to you and very gently kissed you. A few tears fell on my cheeks and at the end when I saw you just as emotional it warmed my heart. You are a beautiful soul and I love your work! Thank you for spreading your knowledge with the world!
🌈☀️Mimi I hope you read this. This video is exactly why I love you and why I watch your videos. I am bawling my eyes out because of your message in the end. I know why you were emotional: because you were truly speaking to your younger self. ☺️When you were young you probably had "crazy ideas" and you had to stay strong and believe in them. And now that you've made your dreams come true, you know exactly what it feels like to doubt yourself and not have the support from people around us, even parents and siblings. I think I'm going to watch this video once a week because it is the best motivational video I've seen. You can't fathom how much you inspire and motivate me to become the best version of myself. Anyone who says they don't like you and that you seem fake, I really don't get it. You are the most raw, authentic beautiful human being. Lots of love from Quebec and thank you Mimi 💙🙏🏼
holisticmaya I so agree and feel the same. I dont understand it either when people call her fake. To me she is real and probably the most authentic youtuber!
I love this woman!!! She is perfectly imperfect and honest. I just recently found you and I’m grateful. I wish more young people held your philosophy on life. Oh hell what am I saying. I wish more people period were like you and Alex. I feel ritual to be very important in life and we’ve lost it over the last 50 years. I’m 56 and have many daily practices to ground me and keep me focused and happy. I wish more people knew how important it really is. Everything you said in this video was so true
I saved this video to replay it every time I doubt my thoughts, feelings and actions. @mimiikonn you have been such an inspiration to me. Your humility and honesty just transcends through your videos. Thank you for just being you. Love from South Africa
Mimi, this is one of the best videos you've ever done. Maybe even the best! It made me cry, but not in a sad way. Just one of thoes moments when you realise something and it hits you.. Thank you for that. Thank for this video. All the love x
It's just me I agree 100%-this is my favorite video thus far. I've been watching Mimi since Luxy Hair and I'm glad that I get to see her beyond the hair. It's amazing and I appreciate it a lot. I love how she shares her wisdom with us. There are other RUclipsrs that started around the time Mimi did, and a lot of them are still vain and lack maturity, but not Mimi, and I'm very thankful for that. Mimi, I hope your next book will be a simple book on some words of wisdom that's separated into experiences for each chapter; e.g., marriage, career, family/parenting, nutrition, exercise, and so on; I'll definitely buy it! I love the bingo therory, but sometimes I want to quickly pick up a somewhat bullet point version so that I could get a quick and easy recharge from your words of wisdom and/or advice! That's why I love the five minute journal; it's SO simplistic and not overwhelming at all. Please keep us updated if that's a project you'll be working on or have been working on. Btw, if you guys add anything to the five minute journal, may you add an empty page that's for decluttering mental thoughts; one for the day and another one for the night?! You know what I mean! Thank you so much! XOXO 😘 💕
Absolutely! I have been following Mimi for years now and I agree. Sometimes we need to be reminded of what really matters in life and she nailed it! It can't be said any better.
Mimi you cried because that's how emotions speak up when it truly comes from the heart. you have an amazing spirit and great advice to share with this world. I actually cried too when you did in this video bc I could feel it was coming from a good and vulnerable place. I know we may not often show this part of us to the world but I believe this is how we bring about change in other people. So thank you for sharing and being vulnerable ! keep making these videos 💙
Thank you so much for this. I'm 24, and my experiences since graduating (drifting around from terrible job to terrible job mostly) have made me realise that my lack of self belief is my main problem. I grew up around one particularly bullying adult who was always telling me I couldn't, that I had to be quiet, that I was stupid, etc, and de-programming yourself from that shit is hard! Your videos inspire me to keep working on myself. Thank you xxx
I get why you got emotional in the end. I imagine you have many battles with both others and yourself when it comes to self doubt since you are in the public eye, and since you've gotten through so many of them, and probably still fighting some, you wanna help others, because you have such a big heart. *People who show emotions are the strongest ones* I really believe that. love you Mimi
Thank you Mimi, you made this video for me. I think the tears you felt we're the tears of all of us whose hearts you just spoke to. Thank you. Both of you are an inspiration xxx
Mimi!!! I started tearing up at the end, too! I'm starting to think about building my business, and Yourself, Alex and even Alexa are a HUGE inspiration. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!and much much much love 🙏🏻
Normally I never comment, but when I saw this, I had to. BEST VIDEO SO FAR MIMI! You nailed it. You just basically summarized really well how to lead a happy and fulfilling life. Thank you for sharing. I'm sure it will help a lot of viewers, and the most amazing thing is that actually everything you said can be practiced by anyone, you don't have to buy anything to do it.
I watch your videos all the time and I never comment. But this video pushed me to do it. Great advice and reminders. Beautiful video. Thanks so much Mimi.
A wonderful video Mimi. You have inspired oh so many of your subscriber/viewers today. That last message touched me and my eyes gots misty. I can relate to you and I believe so many others can. You have helped me through so many of my low phases. I recreated the five minute journal because I couldn't buy one and honestly, it changed my life.A big thank you and a big hug for making this world a better place.
Dear Mimi! In my opinion, the best thing about your videos is that you make a difference in this world. You're just simply being yourself and you inspire plenty of people all around the world with your insightful videos and wise words. Thank you very much for all that you're doing, because you have a positive impact on the lives of others, including mine.
The ending about self belief really got to me. I've been struggling with anxiety and depression for the past 2 years and have been contemplating suicide. I've just been in a really dark place. Thanks for being a light in my life Mimi. Every time I watch you and Alex"s video they give me hope! Sending you so much love!
Lexi Christine hi Lexi! I am really sorry that you are experiencing anxiety and depression. I experienced those for almost 2.5 years. There were many days when I felt like giving up and could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. Currently, the anxiety and depression has subsided. What helped me a lot was talking to others, listening to positive music, meditating, and talking to myself. Try not to lose hope. It is hard, but not impossible. If you need someone to talk to, please message me. You are special. Xoxo
Lexi Christine Same with me, the past 2 years of my life have been a living hell. I've struggled with so much in my personal, family, social, academic, and career life, that I would cry every night and have nightmares, to the point where I just became numb and dead inside. I wanted to disappear, leave my cage of a body...I wanted to just die. Now, I have hope in my life for a brighter, successful, and loved future. Keep strong, fight the fight.
KatKost I wouldn't wish this upon anyone but thanks for sharing because it's nice to know I'm not alone. I'm so sorry you went through that dark time. I can't wait to get to a point where I'm happy and positive. It's such a struggle. And I completely get where you're coming from about the nightmares and feeling empty. I don't know you but I love you and thank you so much for reaching out! Means a lot especially since I really have no one. xoxoxoxoxo
Mimi, thank you for bringing real emotions here. You are right that in every dark moment there is always light. And sometimes, that light for me was your overwhelming positive energy. Please keep sharing it!
Every time I feel low, sad, with apathy, with no motivation, overwhelmed etc I always think on watching one of your videos. You bring me so much motivation to believe in myself and fight for what I want in life. Thank you so much for being so real and inspiring. I wish I can meet you in person one day 🌷
Omg! I teared up when you did because I could see that you are a compassionate human being, and I appreciate that because more people should be like you and me and believe in the capacity of living in peace, equilibrium and wellness for all.
I'm 21 right now..most of your advices did actually get into my head.. I really needed to listen to something like this from someone in order to believe and motivate myself. You definitely are saving thousands who are suffering from various mental hardships through your video.. I am glad to know that people like you still exist in this world! You could have done any sort of video if you wanted to..but you chose to help others out of your experiences from life. Your tears showed how desperate you were to make someone's life at least a tiny bit better from what's it's right now. God bless you Mimi! Lots of love 💕
Your channel changed me. I started watching two years and watched your anxiety story and heard so much of myself in you, cried with you. You helped me realize that I couldn't cure my anxiety but I could choose positivity instead of negativity. I can now harness my anxiety through meditation and daily habits to be more productive and positive. Your positivity and your compassion shines through the screen. Thank you for this video and thank you for being you, Mimi. You encouraged me to reach for what I want in this life. Thank you thank you thank you. ❤️😊
I just watched it and suddenly cry a little tears just because it hit me. it's like talking to my younger self, that I'm just need more patient in life to get what I wanted even though others just get it easily. don't ever compare my self to others. just because I'm special the way I am and I am is what I believe I can be, so keep this positive energy in whatever I do. thanks for making this such heart warming video, Mimi❤
My hope is to see more people who come from wisdom and deep understanding of love and what our mission as humans is and ultimately to become a person like that some day. Thank you and all the rest who are leading the way.
Just the moment I read "don't settle Down", it just hit me!!! I had to pause and write this, but Thank you for mentioning this specific point. This is something that is very important to understand, because settling is never good for the heart or soul... Thank you Thank you 💕
You're so incredibly inspiring and everything you do uplifts and inspires me in my daily life. I continue to support everything you and Alex do! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights 💕 you continue to change my life !!
I'm crying! wow i have been in a difficult place recently and your video reminded me of how important it is to love yourself. thank you for that. you and alex are truly an inspiration.
I just had to pause this video and I wanna thank you for looking actually into a camera. It's so much a different experience watching a video when person doesn't constantly check herself in the viewfinder. 😊 Btw amazing video so far... xx
Keily Helimets i wondered if someone else would notice that. I feel like she looked at us the entire time, not even one second looking at herself. Loved that.
this vedio is the best thing happened to me today I truly love you Mimi you're so inspiring thank you for being existed in this world lot's of kiss for you and little alexa 💋💋💋💋❤❤❤💜💜💜
Mimi, thank you SO MUCH for this video! I'm in a season where nobody (except a few people) believe in me. I'm facing so many fears at the moment, because of my insecurity and my shyness, and it's so hard. It's so hard to believe in yourself when other people don't. So, thank you for your motivation, thank you for helping us finding strength in ourself. You're such a beautiful person, Mimi. Love you!
Dear Mimi (and Alex), I have been watching you for years and you have truly been my rock. Whenever I felt lonely, discouraged and doubted myself, your videos always gave me strength and restored my belief in myself. Right now my life is taking a great turn, and I have to thank you for that too. Thank you for putting your efforts into making such wonderful videos. Much love and health to you and your little Alexa! 💕
Gosh...I really felt you were talking just to me when you started crying at the end...thank you for believing in me even more than myself! But hey, I'm working on it! I just need to remind it myself more often 🙃
Mimi, you are so wise beyond your years. Thank you for sharing these words and spreading your love with the world. You and Alex truly have made such a difference in this world.
Thank you for this video, Mimi. I really needed the extra encouragement. ❤️ I've unfortunately been going through some bad times and the messsages in this video - especially the last one - lifted my spirits a little and motivated me to keep on trucking.
I saw a caption of yours that finished with "it all starts with self-belief" and I put it on my room as a reminder that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to, you are so inspiring, and has helped me stay positive when the world tells me otherwise. Thank you💚
Mimi I have followed your videos for years...this is the first time I am actually commenting to say that I got emotional with you and I'm the one who wants to give you a hug back. Thanks for everything you do, for believing in yourself so that you can open up to the world! You have inspired so many changes in my life.. since maybe 2011? it's been a while. Thank you!
Thank you SO,SO,SO much for this!!! All of it is exactly where I'm at in my life right now! Especially the non attachment part. My husband died just 9 months after we were married, and I've come to realize that all we ever really have in this life is ourselves. So, I've been investing my time and love wisely onto myself! Thanks again, I love you and your beautiful heart! Keep sharing your gifts! Blessings!
aww my mimi. i loved this video. even though i rarely comment on your videos this one got me choked up. i literally cried with you 😢😢😢😢 i am at the point in my life where i know i am ready to achieve the best. this gave me that push that i needed. Thank you. love you
Mimi, indeed this is the best video you have ever done. A person as humble and beautiful like you has the power to change someone 's bad day. You inspire so many people and I am sure after watching this many will inculcate self belief as you rightly pointed out! May God always bless you with all good and nice things in life. Thank you for bringing sunshine and smile in my life, you truly are a messenger sent from God to spread warmth and happiness.
I love how honest and raw the end was your emotional because you put your self in others shoes and you care so much about the world and people its just who you are i fell the same way.
I always absolutely ADORE your videos but I have to say this one is among one of the best..!!!!! You made me cry too! I had such a hard and depressing say so far.. and with all the things you said, you "simply" made me remember that there are more reasons to be happy than to be sad..! Thank you so, SO MUCH for your endless positive energy..! I'll never stop following you cause you make me feel so good! Thank you!!! love you too!!!!!!!!! :D ❤😭 xxxx
I am crying my eyes out!! I love you so much Mimi! When you were looking directly into the camera telling us to believe in ourselves I felt as if there was no screen between us and that you were speaking directly to me. I lost all of my physical self and I felt your soul and my soul connect. Thank you SO MUCH Mimi. I just can't express my gratitude enough for your presence in this world. You are such a gift. You have been such a light and a huge source of inspiration in my life. I love you.💙🙏🏻✨
Mimi, I want to express gratitude towards what your are making. Your thoughts and words are so powerfull and you make me think every time I watch your videos! I think there is no shame in tears... you've overcome so much and has grown as a person... and so do I thanks to you! And again million thanks!!!
Mimi, I've been following you for about 5 years now and I'm so grateful for you♥️ when you said surround yourself with 5 friends you truly enjoy and love to be around reminded me of the reason I followed you on RUclips. You were the first young women in my life that thought and saw things the way you did. When I couldn't get it from anyone of my friends I would come to your videos and it was a breath of fresh air and I felt inspired to be that women I longed for in my own life. So thank you and I pray God blesses you and your family abundantly😘
Loved this so much, I am going to listen to this when I feel down cause you are so motivational and I love when you speak like this! So meaningful and full of inspiration. :)
Mimi & Alex I just want to thank you for all amazing content you are doing)You are so inspiring, you can not even imagine what impact you have on our lives. Keep going on, i feel like you and Alex will create something really huge and great in future , I don't know what exactly) but it is coming) God bless your family, you are pure gold guys)
I can't be more grateful to find your channel and Alex's. I just moved to Toronto last year starting my master studies. Right now, I am in the phrase of job hunting where I think people's self-esteem is at history low especially as a new-comer to a new country. I really appreciate your video, sharing your experience and love to us. Watching your videos and reading the books you recommended is like a light at the end of the tunnel for me. Watching this video is the thing that I am grateful of today. THANK YOU!
Hello Mimi. I am 21 years old, and I think I do a lot of the things you said. I really appreciated "don't settle down" and "believe in yourself". This video is so emotional. Thank your for your beautiful words.
This video spoke to me on so many levels. Mimi I love how honest and true you are. I am going through a transitional time in my life and this video was EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you for sharing your beautiful insight and inspiring so many of us. Your words make a difference!
Mimi thank you!!! Thank you so much!!! After so many years of watching you and your family I really feel some kind of connection and that all of you have become really important for me! And I am so glad that I have you in my life! Even just it is only through the videos but they influenced me so much:) You are just one of the best people I have ever known! Every your word goes straight in my heart! I cried in the end but only because I felt so happy and grateful for the fact that I have such an incredible mentor in my life:) I so much appreciate you words, your wisdom! And honestly, a lot of good changes in my life happened with the help of your advice! Thank you!!! Спасибо от самого самого сердца!!! Дорогая Мими, ты золотой человечек, оставайся всегда такой же!!! Очень очень сильно тебя люблю!!!!!!!
Sometimes you will find yourself telling your older self these same things. I feel like I have reached a low in my life (career is in pause) and while I do and believe all of these things that you mentioned it wasjust the right time to hear someone else say it again. I love that saying that "she needed a hero so she became one". Thank you for this much needed reminder.
Wow! You made ME cry! Thank you for bringing back my Mimi inspiration! You are what helped me through a very tough time in 2015. Love you and true love lasts a lifetime 💓
Mimi, I started crying..you're a true example of bright, lovely and vise person! Thank you for everything: love, inspiration, advices and sharing your incredible life moments with us! Love you ^****
Hey thanks Mimi for make this video I'm a teenager and I feel like this is going to help me and Mimi I have a question can you make a video on how to turn to the organic life and the brands that you like that are natural and cruelty free and I also what is in your makeup collection cause I want everything and also your skincare (love from North Carolina )
I love you Mimi!!!!! Please keep your beautiful spirit alive. You touch and uplift many many beings around the world. Hearing the words "Hello my beautiful people" always puts a smile on my face and your happiness shines in all of your videos! Love you girl
I was crying right along with you, Mimi. I can't tell how much I needed this beautiful, heartfelt, & helpful message of yours today. Thank you for being such an incredible being. You are a bright light in this world. Beautiful inside & out. I feel so blessed to have come across this today. Sending love & happiness to you always :)
Hey Mimi, I watch your videos on how to be happy and message to my younger self almost every year as a reminder to myself. The best ones that you have made and will help me everytime I forget to be good to myself first ❤️ thanks a tonne for making such wonderful videos ❤️

Big hugs from Florence ❤
I cannot express the feeling I get when I watch your videos and truly focus on what you are saying, it is out of this world! You inspire me to be a better version of myself than any other person have, thank you so much for your kind and amazing words because you ARE changing lives! You are changing MY life. I am only 17 and I can take all this advice and incorporate in my life, so you spare me from all of my self drama and insecurities, and you are helping me achieve my goals and dreams, thank you so much for this, sending lots of love from Brasil!! xo

"Pimples will become wrinkles" Mimi Ikonn 2017 I l♥ve it!
Haha it is actually true, once you overcome one problem, your mind just has to notice another hahah. Like with me, I had acne for 2 years and once my skin 'cleared', I began trying to get rid of black heads and scarring, when I should've just been grateful for not suffering from acne anymore haha.

aww...thank you so much
mimi you are the best :(
I don't comment on videos very often. But i have to say this: my boyfriend cheated on me for the last two weeks and just told me earlier today. Nothing could cheer me up, but after watching your video I feel like it's gonna be okay someday.
Lena Laylay it is gonna be okay. Trust me. Take care 🌸
trust me you're gonna be okay without him, you deserve someone better
many of us have been there. the universe is giving you an opportunity to move on and find the one for you. this was just an experience. and yes, you will be not only fine, you will be perfect.
remember, just like Mimi said, "don't settle for anything less than you deserve". It will be ok, and time really does help. I hope you feel better soon xx
Lena he doesn't deserve you! The universe has someone much better for you waiting, just close the chapter of the past and the new chapter will start. This will only make you stronger
I got very emotional when Alex came next to you and very gently kissed you. A few tears fell on my cheeks and at the end when I saw you just as emotional it warmed my heart. You are a beautiful soul and I love your work! Thank you for spreading your knowledge with the world!
Denisa-Nicoleta Moise yess such a cute moment 😍
You look incredible Mimi! Peach is a very nice colour for you!Love you!
Sophie schmidt she is beautiful 😍
This is the 5th time I'm watching this video. It makes me happier than you know. Thank you for existing in this world, Mimi
aww...you are so sweet Danyelle
🌈☀️Mimi I hope you read this. This video is exactly why I love you and why I watch your videos. I am bawling my eyes out because of your message in the end. I know why you were emotional: because you were truly speaking to your younger self. ☺️When you were young you probably had "crazy ideas" and you had to stay strong and believe in them.

holisticmaya I so agree and feel the same. I dont understand it either when people call her fake. To me she is real and probably the most authentic youtuber!
holisticmaya Sometimes dreamers seem fake. Mimi is definitely not fake. She is the truest form of self.
holisticmaya I so agree
I love this woman!!! She is perfectly imperfect and honest. I just recently found you and I’m grateful. I wish more young people held your philosophy on life. Oh hell what am I saying. I wish more people period were like you and Alex. I feel ritual to be very important in life and we’ve lost it over the last 50 years. I’m 56 and have many daily practices to ground me and keep me focused and happy. I wish more people knew how important it really is. Everything you said in this video was so true
I saved this video to replay it every time I doubt my thoughts, feelings and actions. @mimiikonn you have been such an inspiration to me. Your humility and honesty just transcends through your videos. Thank you for just being you. Love from South Africa
Mimi, this is one of the best videos you've ever done. Maybe even the best! It made me cry, but not in a sad way. Just one of thoes moments when you realise something and it hits you.. Thank you for that. Thank for this video. All the love x
thank u @Mimi...for having such a beautiful heart & soul...love u..
It's just me I agree 100%-this is my favorite video thus far. I've been watching Mimi since Luxy Hair and I'm glad that I get to see her beyond the hair. It's amazing and I appreciate it a lot. I love how she shares her wisdom with us. There are other RUclipsrs that started around the time Mimi did, and a lot of them are still vain and lack maturity, but not Mimi, and I'm very thankful for that. Mimi, I hope your next book will be a simple book on some words of wisdom that's separated into experiences for each chapter; e.g., marriage, career, family/parenting, nutrition, exercise, and so on; I'll definitely buy it! I love the bingo therory, but sometimes I want to quickly pick up a somewhat bullet point version so that I could get a quick and easy recharge from your words of wisdom and/or advice! That's why I love the five minute journal; it's SO simplistic and not overwhelming at all. Please keep us updated if that's a project you'll be working on or have been working on. Btw, if you guys add anything to the five minute journal, may you add an empty page that's for decluttering mental thoughts; one for the day and another one for the night?! You know what I mean! Thank you so much! XOXO 😘 💕
I have to agree! This is the best video she ever made. I love her now much more
Absolutely! I have been following Mimi for years now and I agree. Sometimes we need to be reminded of what really matters in life and she nailed it! It can't be said any better.
D E F I N I T E L Y!
Mimi you cried because that's how emotions speak up when it truly comes from the heart. you have an amazing spirit and great advice to share with this world. I actually cried too when you did in this video bc I could feel it was coming from a good and vulnerable place. I know we may not often show this part of us to the world but I believe this is how we bring about change in other people. So thank you for sharing and being vulnerable ! keep making these videos 💙
I truly see you as a mentor or even mom in some ways bc I lost mine. I love being inspired by you
aww...sweetie:) Thank you!
Thank you so much for this. I'm 24, and my experiences since graduating (drifting around from terrible job to terrible job mostly) have made me realise that my lack of self belief is my main problem. I grew up around one particularly bullying adult who was always telling me I couldn't, that I had to be quiet, that I was stupid, etc, and de-programming yourself from that shit is hard! Your videos inspire me to keep working on myself. Thank you xxx
I get why you got emotional in the end. I imagine you have many battles with both others and yourself when it comes to self doubt since you are in the public eye, and since you've gotten through so many of them, and probably still fighting some, you wanna help others, because you have such a big heart. *People who show emotions are the strongest ones* I really believe that. love you Mimi
Josefine Öijer truly believe and agree with you. I also got emotional at the end with her.😜😘
HairTrickTv me too.. 😊
Thank you Mimi, you made this video for me. I think the tears you felt we're the tears of all of us whose hearts you just spoke to. Thank you. Both of you are an inspiration xxx
Mimi!!! I started tearing up at the end, too! I'm starting to think about building my business, and Yourself, Alex and even Alexa are a HUGE inspiration.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!and much much much love 🙏🏻
Dear Mimi, you have promised us to do a detailed video about meditation last year and it's pending.plz do one.
Normally I never comment, but when I saw this, I had to. BEST VIDEO SO FAR MIMI! You nailed it. You just basically summarized really well how to lead a happy and fulfilling life. Thank you for sharing. I'm sure it will help a lot of viewers, and the most amazing thing is that actually everything you said can be practiced by anyone, you don't have to buy anything to do it.
I watch your videos all the time and I never comment. But this video pushed me to do it. Great advice and reminders. Beautiful video. Thanks so much Mimi.
Thank you dear Saba:) I appreciate your support.
A wonderful video Mimi. You have inspired oh so many of your subscriber/viewers today. That last message touched me and my eyes gots misty. I can relate to you and I believe so many others can. You have helped me through so many of my low phases. I recreated the five minute journal because I couldn't buy one and honestly, it changed my life.A big thank you and a big hug for making this world a better place.
Dear Mimi!
In my opinion, the best thing about your videos is that you make a difference in this world. You're just simply being yourself and you inspire plenty of people all around the world with your insightful videos and wise words. Thank you very much for all that you're doing, because you have a positive impact on the lives of others, including mine.
The ending about self belief really got to me. I've been struggling with anxiety and depression for the past 2 years and have been contemplating suicide. I've just been in a really dark place. Thanks for being a light in my life Mimi. Every time I watch you and Alex"s video they give me hope! Sending you so much love!
Lexi Christine hi Lexi! I am really sorry that you are experiencing anxiety and depression. I experienced those for almost 2.5 years. There were many days when I felt like giving up and could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. Currently, the anxiety and depression has subsided. What helped me a lot was talking to others, listening to positive music, meditating, and talking to myself. Try not to lose hope. It is hard, but not impossible. If you need someone to talk to, please message me. You are special. Xoxo
andrea summers Thank you Andrea
Lexi Christine Same with me, the past 2 years of my life have been a living hell. I've struggled with so much in my personal, family, social, academic, and career life, that I would cry every night and have nightmares, to the point where I just became numb and dead inside. I wanted to disappear, leave my cage of a body...I wanted to just die. Now, I have hope in my life for a brighter, successful, and loved future. Keep strong, fight the fight.
KatKost I wouldn't wish this upon anyone but thanks for sharing because it's nice to know I'm not alone. I'm so sorry you went through that dark time. I can't wait to get to a point where I'm happy and positive. It's such a struggle. And I completely get where you're coming from about the nightmares and feeling empty. I don't know you but I love you and thank you so much for reaching out! Means a lot especially since I really have no one. xoxoxoxoxo
Your comment at the end about believing in yourself and tuning out everything and anyone who doesn't really spoke to me. Thank you so much! 💕💕
You should make that a hashtag #pimpleswillbecomewrinkles
Mimi, thank you for bringing real emotions here. You are right that in every dark moment there is always light. And sometimes, that light for me was your overwhelming positive energy. Please keep sharing it!
you made me tear in the middle of your video, very strong and true words. thank you mimi for brightening my day.
Every time I feel low, sad, with apathy, with no motivation, overwhelmed etc I always think on watching one of your videos. You bring me so much motivation to believe in myself and fight for what I want in life. Thank you so much for being so real and inspiring. I wish I can meet you in person one day 🌷
Mimi you're such an inspiration I love this and you're so strong especially since you're a mom❤️
Aw Mimi you made me tear up😭😇
Omg! I teared up when you did because I could see that you are a compassionate human being, and I appreciate that because more people should be like you and me and believe in the capacity of living in peace, equilibrium and wellness for all.
I'm 21 right now..most of your advices did actually get into my head.. I really needed to listen to something like this from someone in order to believe and motivate myself. You definitely are saving thousands who are suffering from various mental hardships through your video.. I am glad to know that people like you still exist in this world! You could have done any sort of video if you wanted to..but you chose to help others out of your experiences from life. Your tears showed how desperate you were to make someone's life at least a tiny bit better from what's it's right now.
God bless you Mimi! Lots of love 💕
You are truly an inspiration. Thank you for your kind words and positive vibes 💗
This is probably my favourite video of hers
Your channel changed me. I started watching two years and watched your anxiety story and heard so much of myself in you, cried with you. You helped me realize that I couldn't cure my anxiety but I could choose positivity instead of negativity. I can now harness my anxiety through meditation and daily habits to be more productive and positive.
Your positivity and your compassion shines through the screen. Thank you for this video and thank you for being you, Mimi. You encouraged me to reach for what I want in this life. Thank you thank you thank you. ❤️😊
Finally!! Been waiting for this video for so long. Thanks Mimi ❤️
I just watched it and suddenly cry a little tears just because it hit me. it's like talking to my younger self, that I'm just need more patient in life to get what I wanted even though others just get it easily. don't ever compare my self to others. just because I'm special the way I am and I am is what I believe I can be, so keep this positive energy in whatever I do. thanks for making this such heart warming video, Mimi❤
AMAZING- love it when ur raw and honest like this - this has helped me !
THANKYOU MIMI...I really needed this! Your positivity is contagious
My hope is to see more people who come from wisdom and deep understanding of love and what our mission as humans is and ultimately to become a person like that some day. Thank you and all the rest who are leading the way.
Just the moment I read "don't settle Down", it just hit me!!!
I had to pause and write this, but Thank you for mentioning this specific point. This is something that is very important to understand, because settling is never good for the heart or soul...
Thank you Thank you 💕
So kind of you to do this. Your so insiperational lots of hugs xx
You're so incredibly inspiring and everything you do uplifts and inspires me in my daily life. I continue to support everything you and Alex do! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights 💕 you continue to change my life !!
I'm crying! wow i have been in a difficult place recently and your video reminded me of how important it is to love yourself. thank you for that. you and alex are truly an inspiration.
I just had to pause this video and I wanna thank you for looking actually into a camera. It's so much a different experience watching a video when person doesn't constantly check herself in the viewfinder. 😊 Btw amazing video so far... xx
Keily Helimets i wondered if someone else would notice that. I feel like she looked at us the entire time, not even one second looking at herself. Loved that.
holisticmaya exactly!
Keily Helimets amen
This is why I follow your channel along since YEARS!!! I feel so connected to you and love the way you look at life and people.
Lots of love to you
this vedio is the best thing happened to me today I truly love you Mimi you're so inspiring thank you for being existed in this world lot's of kiss for you and little alexa 💋💋💋💋❤❤❤💜💜💜
Mimi, thank you SO MUCH for this video! I'm in a season where nobody (except a few people) believe in me. I'm facing so many fears at the moment, because of my insecurity and my shyness, and it's so hard. It's so hard to believe in yourself when other people don't. So, thank you for your motivation, thank you for helping us finding strength in ourself. You're such a beautiful person, Mimi. Love you!
one of the most important videos on RUclips!
thank you for making this Mimi!
love what you share with the world
Dear Mimi (and Alex), I have been watching you for years and you have truly been my rock. Whenever I felt lonely, discouraged and doubted myself, your videos always gave me strength and restored my belief in myself. Right now my life is taking a great turn, and I have to thank you for that too. Thank you for putting your efforts into making such wonderful videos. Much love and health to you and your little Alexa! 💕
Gosh...I really felt you were talking just to me when you started crying at the end...thank you for believing in me even more than myself! But hey, I'm working on it! I just need to remind it myself more often 🙃
Mimi, you are so wise beyond your years. Thank you for sharing these words and spreading your love with the world. You and Alex truly have made such a difference in this world.
Thank you for this video, Mimi. I really needed the extra encouragement. ❤️ I've unfortunately been going through some bad times and the messsages in this video - especially the last one - lifted my spirits a little and motivated me to keep on trucking.
I saw a caption of yours that finished with "it all starts with self-belief" and I put it on my room as a reminder that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to, you are so inspiring, and has helped me stay positive when the world tells me otherwise. Thank you💚
This is life. There's no second chances!! Love this.
Thank you Mimi ❤️
I came back to this video in difficult time in my life now and... this is all I need to hear. Thank you so much. I'm really thankful for you Mimi
Can you do a second part to this video?(since you said you had alot on your list) I loved this video so much.
Mimi I have followed your videos for years...this is the first time I am actually commenting to say that I got emotional with you and I'm the one who wants to give you a hug back. Thanks for everything you do, for believing in yourself so that you can open up to the world! You have inspired so many changes in my life.. since maybe 2011? it's been a while. Thank you!
Love you Mimi as always so inspiring ❤️
Thank you SO,SO,SO much for this!!! All of it is exactly where I'm at in my life right now! Especially the non attachment part. My husband died just 9 months after we were married, and I've come to realize that all we ever really have in this life is ourselves. So, I've been investing my time and love wisely onto myself! Thanks again, I love you and your beautiful heart! Keep sharing your gifts! Blessings!
aww my mimi. i loved this video. even though i rarely comment on your videos this one got me choked up. i literally cried with you 😢😢😢😢 i am at the point in my life where i know i am ready to achieve the best. this gave me that push that i needed. Thank you. love you
Fatima Malikah thank you dear Fatima ❤
Awww Mimi! I'm crying! You are such a beautiful soul and you bring such light and joy to the world. Thank you for being such an inspiration ❤️
You made my day Mimi, loved this video! 💗
Mimi, indeed this is the best video you have ever done. A person as humble and beautiful like you has the power to change someone 's bad day. You inspire so many people and I am sure after watching this many will inculcate self belief as you rightly pointed out!
May God always bless you with all good and nice things in life.
Thank you for bringing sunshine and smile in my life, you truly are a messenger sent from God to spread warmth and happiness.
Wow this is one of the most powerful video I've ever watched! Thank you Mimi, I love you so much❤️
I love how honest and raw the end was your emotional because you put your self in others shoes and you care so much about the world and people its just who you are i fell the same way.
I always absolutely ADORE your videos but I have to say this one is among one of the best..!!!!! You made me cry too! I had such a hard and depressing say so far.. and with all the things you said, you "simply" made me remember that there are more reasons to be happy than to be sad..! Thank you so, SO MUCH for your endless positive energy..! I'll never stop following you cause you make me feel so good! Thank you!!! love you too!!!!!!!!! :D ❤😭 xxxx
I am crying my eyes out!! I love you so much Mimi! When you were looking directly into the camera telling us to believe in ourselves I felt as if there was no screen between us and that you were speaking directly to me. I lost all of my physical self and I felt your soul and my soul connect. Thank you SO MUCH Mimi. I just can't express my gratitude enough for your presence in this world. You are such a gift. You have been such a light and a huge source of inspiration in my life. I love you.💙🙏🏻✨
aww...that is so sweet :) Thank you

I just wanna say THANK YOU!!!!
Mimi, I've been following you for about 5 years now and I'm so grateful for you♥️ when you said surround yourself with 5 friends you truly enjoy and love to be around reminded me of the reason I followed you on RUclips. You were the first young women in my life that thought and saw things the way you did. When I couldn't get it from anyone of my friends I would come to your videos and it was a breath of fresh air and I felt inspired to be that women I longed for in my own life. So thank you and I pray God blesses you and your family abundantly😘
Loved this so much, I am going to listen to this when I feel down cause you are so motivational and I love when you speak like this! So meaningful and full of inspiration. :)
this is why i llove you... everytime i come back and watch your videos you always make me change my ways and better myself. inspirational....
Mimi & Alex I just want to thank you for all amazing content you are doing)You are so inspiring, you can not even imagine what impact you have on our lives. Keep going on, i feel like you and Alex will create something really huge and great in future , I don't know what exactly) but it is coming) God bless your family, you are pure gold guys)
Thank you so much dear Viktoria
I can't be more grateful to find your channel and Alex's. I just moved to Toronto last year starting my master studies. Right now, I am in the phrase of job hunting where I think people's self-esteem is at history low especially as a new-comer to a new country. I really appreciate your video, sharing your experience and love to us. Watching your videos and reading the books you recommended is like a light at the end of the tunnel for me. Watching this video is the thing that I am grateful of today. THANK YOU!
You're such an amazing role model! Great advice =)
Hello Mimi. I am 21 years old, and I think I do a lot of the things you said. I really appreciated "don't settle down" and "believe in yourself". This video is so emotional. Thank your for your beautiful words.
Thank you so much Mimi for sharing your beautiful thoughts and personality with the world. 💞
This video spoke to me on so many levels. Mimi I love how honest and true you are. I am going through a transitional time in my life and this video was EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you for sharing your beautiful insight and inspiring so many of us. Your words make a difference!
Mimi thank you!!! Thank you so much!!! After so many years of watching you and your family I really feel some kind of connection and that all of you have become really important for me! And I am so glad that I have you in my life! Even just it is only through the videos but they influenced me so much:)
You are just one of the best people I have ever known! Every your word goes straight in my heart! I cried in the end but only because I felt so happy and grateful for the fact that I have such an incredible mentor in my life:)
I so much appreciate you words, your wisdom! And honestly, a lot of good changes in my life happened with the help of your advice! Thank you!!!
Спасибо от самого самого сердца!!! Дорогая Мими, ты золотой человечек, оставайся всегда такой же!!! Очень очень сильно тебя люблю!!!!!!!
Sometimes you will find yourself telling your older self these same things. I feel like I have reached a low in my life (career is in pause) and while I do and believe all of these things that you mentioned it wasjust the right time to hear someone else say it again. I love that saying that "she needed a hero so she became one". Thank you for this much needed reminder.
oh my god mimi this is the best video ever
Wow! You made ME cry! Thank you for bringing back my Mimi inspiration! You are what helped me through a very tough time in 2015. Love you and true love lasts a lifetime 💓
