One lesson I've learned is that when you let go of things and people that no longer serve you or have been draining your energy, you open yourself up to what's truly meant for you. Having gratitude for everything even if they were challenging. 💜
I'm an icu nurse that started nursing during the pandemic. This last year has been so physically, mentally, and emotionally draining, and I didnt want to quit for my patients and because I believed I could push through the hardship. But everytime I step into the icu, I see their suffering, and it affects me so deeply. I'm starting to realize that it's ok to leave the icu to pursue something kinder on my soul. So thank you for this video, it's like the universe is telling me it's ok and that I've done enough. ❤
Giving up is no longer a sign of cowardice and weakness as most people claim it to be but actually a courageous thing a person can do. Sometimes giving up becomes a door for greater things that we truly deserve and awaits us. Thank you for opening up stuffs like this. This is what actually people need to hear. Love all your videos and as a woman, a person ..you deeply inspires me!
I had a really bad day. I felt worse, because there was no one to talk to. And then you uploaded this video and I broke down in tears. Thank you for being so honest with us and speak about these important topic! Love your videos❤
I've had an awful day at work. People can be unkind sometimes. Esp co-workers. I just wanted some ones kindness to say don't worry it will be okay. Reassurance that the entire day won't b as bad. Keep going. The next hour can make the difference. Keep strong👊🏽
You remind of my Grandfather. He would sit comfortably in his home at the window or a city park bench after many years of working and enjoy drinking a cup of Joe as he watched others go to work!
Great message. It reminds me of a similar thought an older lady shared with me a long time ago. She said "We all want to 'win'. But what's the worst that can happen if you come last? Why is that so awful?". As a smart woman with a professional career, I struggled with that. But as I have gotten older, I have adjusted my balance from succumbing to the rat race, to taking a slower approach that protects my mental health.
I have a very small social circle, a close female friend and a female neighboring friend. They are good people. I don’t care how people perceive me. I am content with myself as a loner. Knowing how to let go of things which aren’t right for me can help me find peace.
I live a simple single life and I don’t feel bad about it. I don’t have much demand. I just want a good health and peace. Inner peace is very important to me.
I don’t think there’s any shame in giving up on something or someone that is likely never going to work out. Why prolong a situation that is toxic or negative just for the sake of saying you won’t give up? I think the older you get you also realize how precious time is and how quickly it passes and you don’t want to waste it. I have found this so true with relationships, ie. friends and family. Sometimes we have toxic people in our lives that aren’t going to change and it’s just healthier for us to realize this and move on. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and letting your viewers realize that this isn’t seen as a failure.😊💖🙏
knowing when to give up is just as important as knowing when to continue pursuing something!! Ive definitely held onto some things too long that I should have given a long time ago!
One thing I learned through being lonely, rejected by men and having no friends, losing so many people I thought were friends and losing so many people even from my past even old classmates, even losing people in my family as support in my forties due to smear campaigns and attacks of jealousy and competition towards me is that it’s only up to me to make my life happen for me. I can never rely on other people to make me happy or make my dreams happen. I can’t even rely on a man to stick by me. I never even made it to marriage and I’m 47. I also learned when i do great things with my talents, people get jealous and stop supporting me. It’s then when I rely on myself for making my own happiness. Also, it’s not a failure if I take a break from a path and learn a new path. I can always go back to my previous path when I feel like it. If you can make your dreams come true without the support of anyone, even when people around you try to take them away and ruin your reputation, it makes enjoying your success so much sweeter. Expect the unexpected. Thank you for this video.
I was always fighting my whole life: for a job, for money, for love. My life was hardly the easy one but I thought it's self love to fight for those things and finally get them, now I am realising it was complete opposite : luck of respect for me and feelings. I had to fall back on my knees yet again and be rejected for a job I thought I was ment to get..and now I found this channel...I know this is the universe telling me there's nothing wrong with me only I tend to choose the wrong things in life. Now I have to learn how to be ME again ..and I am sooo looking forward to it🥳
i just got rejected from a schorlarship yesterday, something i really looked up to for only two months but really, really wanted it. i let it go last night, and now i watched this video as the affirmation that i really need.
I graduated in 2018 with a Bachelor of science in Molecular Biosciences. I got a job 3 months before graduation. Right after graduation, I was working as a research associate working on exciting projects. Late, 2019 I quit my job. I decided to become a health coach. Knowing when is time to walk away is amazing. Thank you!
I wish I had this wisdom many years ago; stayed in a corporate job that I hated for 22 years for all the wrong reasons. I left 2 years ago and am still trying to recover the person I lost over those 22 years. Really hope young people are tuning into this channel, the wisdom is timeless.
I quit New York and moved back to Ireland. I've since travelled all over the world and looking forward to resume travelling next year. Fascinating video and truly inspirational and insightful.
Absolutely, giving up negative.....old thoughts, things do not serve us any longer. I used to live in Minnesota and I went to visit North Dakota!! Thank you for sharing love and peace!!
Thank you. I just broke up with my ex fiancée 6 weeks ago. I also lost my job and home due to COVID last December. I suffered depression and tried suicide twice last winter. Your video has helped see the wisdom in giving up and making the space for something new. Your words gave me courage. Thank you.
"Giving up something meant the start of something else" This helped so much...you said everything I used to tell myself. I lost interest in something so I quit. I felt like a loser, quitter and also a failure. But I got new interests. I had been blaming myself about quitting but this helped me a lot. I can focus more on the stuff I love and forget what I lost interest in. Thank you once again!❤️

I just really feel like giving up, but I can't... I keep on pushing forward with the prince of my mental health and sleep. This is gradually taking over me... Thank you for your words, helped me... But I'll just continue to go on, this will end soon
I feel like you have so much wisdom within you, and not only the type found in books. I admire your maturity, poise and empathy! I am sure you are also a good listener! Thank you so much, this was an important message to hear.
I am in a place where, due to many issues, my life has entirely collapsed. So I needed to hear this today. It was already something in the back of my mind, that all this destruction in my life needs to mean something. And I have been seeing things in a different light, even those heavy things that I lost that I used to identify with so strongly that they indeed became me. I am in a new territory, somewhere I have never been. And as much as it still pains me, I also see potential for a new healthier path. I don't see it in a way that I never return to the things that I felt I was good at and pursue those dreams, but it's definitely a time for a full stop, re-evaluation and then, when I am ready, move forward in a way that feels good to me. Trying to make something happen, ever since childhood, and tying my own value to it... it was the wrong way. I was a child, I didn't know better. And I continued as an adult, I didn't know what else to do. It took this gigantic tremor in my life, that brought all of it down, for me to look at it all and go: "ok, that's ok, it was hard for a long time, i was suffering... perhaps now I can figure out a way to live and express myself without unnecessary suffering." Perhaps now I can love myself for me, not just for the things I have achieved or the things I can do.
Thank you for this! The many times I stayed in a job far too long have turned me into someone I never wanted to be 😪 Working hard to find myself again.
Thank you Sophie ♥️ after I got really sick with covid I decided to leave my extremely unhappy job and came back to my hometown to study a MA. I did not see it as to give up, but to pick up my mental health (that really needed to rest).🧘🏻♀️✨
Hi! I just started watching your videos. Fellow North Dakotan here, I'm from Fargo myself. North Dakota has a very toxic culture of overwork. I went back to school in my late 20s to study a career that I realized I'm not great at it and didn't enjoy it. I also couldn't find a job in my field after graduating. I've decided to pursue something simpler and it's been a big weight lifted off of my shoulders. Glad you have cultivated a life that you enjoy.
So happy for you! It seems like a lot of people come to ND just to work. I see a lot of people working and not taking care of themselves which is unfortunate :( thanks for watching my videos
I gave up on lots of things that were thrown at me whether it was a unwanted job, relationship, friendship or possessions. It's always an awesome feeling to let go of those negative baggages and have a fresh reset! Very heartwarming and encouraging message 🙂💓
We were all taught to think of a dream job, work hard towards it, once achieved work until retirement. That may work for many but not for all. I constantly think of life as a journey. All of the successes and all of the unsuccessful moments. The judgement and the opinions of others is where the winning and failing feeling come in. One thing doesn’t work, try something else and enjoy the experience along each and every step. Thanks for you video! All the best 🙏🏽
You created this video at such an interesting time of my life as I am transitioning out of a job that is not fulfilling and have found another job that is so much more aligned with my values and needs. I wholeheartedly agree with the fact that "giving up" or knowing when to move on is an opportunity to realign with your core values and opens the door for better things. Thank you for this
This is really really I want to listen... Because sometimes we tried hard and then get depressed due to unexpected results...and constantly listening from others and social media that we shouldn't GIVE UP... But you know what sometime giving up makes you feel alive again
I needed this very much. I have been so confused about the unfulfilling career that I have took up. It is making me feel drained and stuck. But I am a very stubborn person who always thinks that I can make things workout. But I think this is a wake up call for me to rethink my decision and explore my true calling. Thank you for this video
i am a fulltime employee with quite a bright future, but after 12 years of becoming full time employee, i realized that this job isn't giving me a full potential where i am not allowed to show my creativity and honesty. And it has been few months of me thinking to make a big decision, your words and videos just came at a very right time, a silent talk i have always have inside me. Thumbs up Malama Life
Thank you so much for this inspirational video! I agree, sometimes we hold on to old plans for too long, just to save face or to prove a point to people whose lives our decisions don't even affect. 🤷🏾♀️
This video brought tears to my eyes. Thank you malama. I saw the right video at the right time. I got my first job as a fresher out of college in a big company with good salary but something unfortunate happened. I was given work different from my job role. I don't have the required skills nor do I have interest in that. I requested them to change my vertical and assign me to the one which aligns with my job role and interest but I was denied. I am planning to quit this job within sometime. I was feeling like a quitter & loser for quitting my first job so soon. But your words assured me that I am only opening doors for something new and better to come in .
I'm 55, lived an entire life of being alligned, abiding to what others wanted, of denial. I left my job as of january this year. I felt inadeguate, not stimulated, not alligned and not willing to say yes when I felt like saying a healthy no. So, I said no for the first time. I don't know where I go from here but I feel good because I GAVE UP and left my so called comfort zone. If giving up is regarded as a societal stigma well I DON 'T CARE :) Nice video, it cought my interest, you have a comforting voice Greetings from Italy
Its not giving up but rather parking that idea and opening another door. Your future often is the result of combined nonlinear moments which we call random experiences. Unplanned adjustments define our strength to adapt. True confidence comes from our imagination and creativity.
I have learnt that I do it for myself not for others. All my life I’ve always thought “do it for other so you can show them you can do it” but in reality i learnt that I had to do it for myself for my future and my legacy not others. I have noticed that my past jobs I always quit it never last a year because I would find out that it’s not for me, the unfairness of pay, the uncertainty of employees it stressed me out even if pay was good I wouldn’t deal with the negative atmosphere and people. With each job, with every person I met I realize as I grow older that it’s ok to let go of those who hurt you and those who don’t belong in your life. It may hurt a little but you can get pass it. Thank you for this video !!
The quality of your cinematography keeps getting better each time. I especially appreciate the content of this particular video. My family also immigrated to the US some 18 years ago. I was 12. And for the last 18 years I spent my life pursuing and preparing for a career that made my soul worse and worse the closer I approached my destination. Eventually I had to accept the things I cannot change: this is not for me. And so, here I am today, open to whatever lies ahead. My therapist shared something profound the other day: “The way to dispel the fear of the future is by having a powerful present.” So that’s been my aim as of late: to be present. To let go of people, places, and things that are no longer good for my soul is to set me free to be whole again. I am exactly where I need to be. And I accept my place in life. Anyways, I really appreciate your content. Thank you for sharing and keep up the awesome work 🙏🏻
Thank you. You don't know how much this video means to me. I've let go my career last September and working at my family's restaurant ever since. But people surrounding me keep pushing me to pursue my career again when I can feel it in my bone that I don't want to pursue it anymore and I'm happy just working as I am right now, because there's no glamour in working at a suburb restaurant compared to my career. This video really makes me feel relieved of my decision and have me trying not to doubt myself when it comes to my own happiness. So, thank you, Sophie.
i have been through a life dump too x leaving a toxic career, toxic relationships, decluttering etc ….. i can’t tell you how much i have grown through it all, i needed a fresh start before i hit 70-80 years old and regret my life xx i was so unhappy with myself and my life, now i am much kinder to myself and others xx
I have been rejected, fired, etc. multiple times. I just see it as a reality check to see ifmI am really passionate about my current path. Often times I have found that it was just inertia.
Yes it's ok to know when to quit or even to fail because on the other side there is something must greater. When we are our present in the moment/season of life even if its not where we want to be; when we receive our blessing we are even more grateful for it. Sometimes it can be very hard which I know because I in that season but im still grateful, this is an amazing video 😊 and Henry is cute 💕
Always love hearing your thoughts. Thanks deandra! You are so right. I always try to remind myself of this when things are not turning out the way I want. Big hugs 🤗❤😍
Amazing I was just meditating imagining being in a new world other than this one 😭 got denied by 3 jobs back to back it’s just been a struggle needed this so glad this channel exists
However, sometimes in life we're trapped in situations due to commitment or responsibility. As we get older, making changes is much harder to do. Especially when kids or loved ones are involved. Freedom can certainly have it's limitations. Some are self imposed, others are simply beyond our control. I give up when and where I'm able to. Otherwise it comes down to a degree of personal sacrifice. Just a thought. Another nice vid, thanks.
Love this message because I literally gave up a lot in order to find my joy and creativity again. It was excruciatingly painful and almost cost my life. Living a life that matters to me is much better than following a hollow idea of success that's empty and lonely. You're not alone. You're not a loser if you give up on something that no longer serve your highest good. Blessings to whoever is feeling off and doing their best. Know that you're not alone. Take care.
Giving up is also known as surrender. When you surrender you gain it all, you now let the universe decide instead of what you think is right. You will naturally grow and become the person you are the moment you let go of these reality models.
I've been waiting to see some new doors open since divorcing the man I was with since I was 15 1/2. It's been almost 2 years and although I was very unhappy, and don't regret doing what was needed to stop the unhappiness, I'm not happy being alone. Maybe that's the lesson I need to learn - is to be happy being alone.
You cannot choose family but you can choose friends. Nobody forces you to stay with family. If they do not respect you as an individual, why should you respect them as individuals? Nobody has ever asked you to live so nobody can tell you how to live. I mean, they can but you don't need to listen.
I recently quit my job and didn’t know what to do. Took me awhile but I ended up starting my business and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made
Thank you so much this was so beautiful! I decided to give up my studies for now because they didn‘t led me in the direction I want to go and just made me feel really deprived of Energy so this was such a good reminder to me that I am right for listening to my heart🙏🏻

Dearest Sophia, such a beautiful name,as the gentle soul you have become. Today's Video,almost brought me to tears,but not tears of sadness,but tears of understanding in agreeing to the content of today's video.I could not agree MORE of the idea of letting GO and open up to new experiences to see the changes in our lives, NOT as failures but opportunities to something new and the possibility of something even much better..Iam so proud of you,for a woman as young as you,to discover and sharing these facts with others as your life unfolds is a Blessing.Thank you so much.I truly appreciated you and wish for you and your family,ALL the goodness of Life.
Giving up of what's not working in your life is not weakness but rather a sign of strength and intelligence.
😊👍
every time I gave up or quit a job or got fired, 9 times out 10 I found something better and higher paying.
🥰👍 that is so awesome! Funny how things work out that way
Yeahhh
Honestly, Im thinking about giving my notice soon. Nervous. 😞
@@CyclingMartialartswithMusic Just do it. It is so freeing. But make sure you have some savings while you search for a new job.
Might sound negative, but a lot of times when you get fired they are doing you a favor.
Giving up is a manifestation of emotional decluttering!
Yes. Sooo important!! Thanks for watching
I like this! I’m going to write it down

Hope you're doing better today! Everything's will be okay!
I’m retired after busting my butt my whole life. I do nothing now and love it. No watch or goals. Let somebody else chase that rabbit! I’m content

And I have been seeing things in a different light, even those heavy things that I lost that I used to identify with so strongly that they indeed became me. I am in a new territory, somewhere I have never been. And as much as it still pains me, I also see potential for a new healthier path. I don't see it in a way that I never return to the things that I felt I was good at and pursue those dreams, but it's definitely a time for a full stop, re-evaluation and then, when I am ready, move forward in a way that feels good to me. Trying to make something happen, ever since childhood, and tying my own value to it... it was the wrong way. I was a child, I didn't know better. And I continued as an adult, I didn't know what else to do. It took this gigantic tremor in my life, that brought all of it down, for me to look at it all and go: "ok, that's ok, it was hard for a long time, i was suffering... perhaps now I can figure out a way to live and express myself without unnecessary suffering." Perhaps now I can love myself for me, not just for the things I have achieved or the things I can do.
Thank you for this! The many times I stayed in a job far too long have turned me into someone I never wanted to be 😪 Working hard to find myself again.
Oh I have felt that too 🙄 i couldn't recognize myself. Thanks for watching and sharing
@@MalamaLife Right? It's the worst! Thank you for your great work 💖
Hi Juliette I found that when women stay too long at a job, they often fall ill. I coach women in meditation and transitioning in a spiritual way.
Knowing when to quit..........that is the key. Thank you Malama.
Thank you Sophie ♥️ after I got really sick with covid I decided to leave my extremely unhappy job and came back to my hometown to study a MA. I did not see it as to give up, but to pick up my mental health (that really needed to rest).🧘🏻♀️✨
I'm so happy you made that decision. Hope you are able to heal at home ❤
I’m recovered from Covid too. Best wishes to you.
@@nathanlewis42 Thank you Nathan, wish you the best too!
Hi! I just started watching your videos. Fellow North Dakotan here, I'm from Fargo myself. North Dakota has a very toxic culture of overwork. I went back to school in my late 20s to study a career that I realized I'm not great at it and didn't enjoy it. I also couldn't find a job in my field after graduating. I've decided to pursue something simpler and it's been a big weight lifted off of my shoulders.
Glad you have cultivated a life that you enjoy.
So happy for you! It seems like a lot of people come to ND just to work. I see a lot of people working and not taking care of themselves which is unfortunate :( thanks for watching my videos
I gave up on lots of things that were thrown at me whether it was a unwanted job, relationship, friendship or possessions. It's always an awesome feeling to let go of those negative baggages and have a fresh reset! Very heartwarming and encouraging message 🙂💓
We were all taught to think of a dream job, work hard towards it, once achieved work until retirement.
That may work for many but not for all. I constantly think of life as a journey. All of the successes and all of the unsuccessful moments.
The judgement and the opinions of others is where the winning and failing feeling come in.
One thing doesn’t work, try something else and enjoy the experience along each and every step. Thanks for you video! All the best 🙏🏽
You created this video at such an interesting time of my life as I am transitioning out of a job that is not fulfilling and have found another job that is so much more aligned with my values and needs. I wholeheartedly agree with the fact that "giving up" or knowing when to move on is an opportunity to realign with your core values and opens the door for better things. Thank you for this
Best wishes for watching is ahead of you ❤ thank you so much for your sweet comment.
One of the most important n rare advice that is put aside from the modern quotes. Thank you so much for sharing !
❤️
This is really really I want to listen... Because sometimes we tried hard and then get depressed due to unexpected results...and constantly listening from others and social media that we shouldn't GIVE UP... But you know what sometime giving up makes you feel alive again
Your parents look like really nice people. You are amazing!!!
Aw thank you Nicole. They really are the most caring and loving parents and people
I needed this very much. I have been so confused about the unfulfilling career that I have took up. It is making me feel drained and stuck. But I am a very stubborn person who always thinks that I can make things workout. But I think this is a wake up call for me to rethink my decision and explore my true calling. Thank you for this video
My stubborn helps me, but also gets in the way as well. I'm wishing you the best!
@@MalamaLife thank you
i am a fulltime employee with quite a bright future, but after 12 years of becoming full time employee, i realized that this job isn't giving me a full potential where i am not allowed to show my creativity and honesty. And it has been few months of me thinking to make a big decision, your words and videos just came at a very right time, a silent talk i have always have inside me. Thumbs up Malama Life
It's true. Life has so many ups and downs but your paths had led you something different. Thanks Sophie for sharing your video ❤❤
The most therapeutic videos are yours!!!!!!
Thanks to You!!!😇
I'm so happy to hear that ❤
Thank you so much for this inspirational video! I agree, sometimes we hold on to old plans for too long, just to save face or to prove a point to people whose lives our decisions don't even affect. 🤷🏾♀️
Yes! I have found that it's sometimes it's better to call it quits:) thanks Michelle!!
This video brought tears to my eyes. Thank you malama. I saw the right video at the right time. I got my first job as a fresher out of college in a big company with good salary but something unfortunate happened. I was given work different from my job role. I don't have the required skills nor do I have interest in that. I requested them to change my vertical and assign me to the one which aligns with my job role and interest but I was denied. I am planning to quit this job within sometime. I was feeling like a quitter & loser for quitting my first job so soon. But your words assured me that I am only opening doors for something new and better to come in .
I'm happy to hear that :) thank you so much! best wishes to you
I totally needed this today! Just got laid off from an 8 year job. Time for new beginnings and soul searching. :)
I'm 55, lived an entire life of being alligned, abiding to what others wanted, of denial. I left my job as of january this year. I felt inadeguate, not stimulated, not alligned and not willing to say yes when I felt like saying a healthy no. So, I said no for the first time. I don't know where I go from here but I feel good because I GAVE UP and left my so called comfort zone. If giving up is regarded as a societal stigma well I DON 'T CARE :)
Nice video, it cought my interest, you have a comforting voice
Greetings from Italy
Thank you for watching Lorenzo ❤🥰
Within you is the power to do anything...with confidence and inspiration, you unlock the possibilities
Love that quote ❤🥰
You calm my soul. I have suffering from severe diseases. My life is very very hard. You inspire me
I needed to hear this as I am going through a similar situation! Thanks for sharing this with us! ❤️ Mental health is definitely a top priority!!
Yes! Our mental health influences our decisions so much 😍 thank you for watching
Being able to change your mind is one of the most useful and courageous abilities.
A beautiful message that really resonated with me. Thanks for sharing and many blessings to you and your family. 🙏🏿✨
Thank you so much ❤😍 really appreciate it. So glad it resonates with you
Its not giving up but rather parking that idea and opening another door. Your future often is the result of combined nonlinear moments which we call random experiences. Unplanned adjustments define our strength to adapt. True confidence comes from our imagination and creativity.
Love that thought! Thanks for watching:)
Definitely give up the things that harm or hurt you! Thank you for this video.
Exactly :) I think it's so important
I have learnt that I do it for myself not for others. All my life I’ve always thought “do it for other so you can show them you can do it” but in reality i learnt that I had to do it for myself for my future and my legacy not others. I have noticed that my past jobs I always quit it never last a year because I would find out that it’s not for me, the unfairness of pay, the uncertainty of employees it stressed me out even if pay was good I wouldn’t deal with the negative atmosphere and people. With each job, with every person I met I realize as I grow older that it’s ok to let go of those who hurt you and those who don’t belong in your life. It may hurt a little but you can get pass it. Thank you for this video !!
The quality of your cinematography keeps getting better each time. I especially appreciate the content of this particular video.
My family also immigrated to the US some 18 years ago. I was 12. And for the last 18 years I spent my life pursuing and preparing for a career that made my soul worse and worse the closer I approached my destination.
Eventually I had to accept the things I cannot change: this is not for me.
And so, here I am today, open to whatever lies ahead.
My therapist shared something profound the other day:
“The way to dispel the fear of the future is by having a powerful present.”
So that’s been my aim as of late: to be present.
To let go of people, places, and things that are no longer good for my soul is to set me free to be whole again.
I am exactly where I need to be.
And I accept my place in life.
Anyways, I really appreciate your content. Thank you for sharing and keep up the awesome work 🙏🏻
One can only Give up objects and materials but if one can give in, it’s approach is subjective and a transformation from very different point of view
ive felt discouraged lately and like giving up on my channel. although i do love talking about minimalism i do it because i enjoy it. great video xx
I think it's important that we enjoy the process. Thanks Mariela
@@wijdan794 thank you!
Thank you. You don't know how much this video means to me. I've let go my career last September and working at my family's restaurant ever since. But people surrounding me keep pushing me to pursue my career again when I can feel it in my bone that I don't want to pursue it anymore and I'm happy just working as I am right now, because there's no glamour in working at a suburb restaurant compared to my career. This video really makes me feel relieved of my decision and have me trying not to doubt myself when it comes to my own happiness. So, thank you, Sophie.
Quit the ego's quest and allow Spirit to lead.
Yes!!! Always reminding myself
I was just speaking with my brother about the same idea .. and then I saw your comment.. gona consider that as a message.. thanks
@@mashaelal-uqmany4624 Love you
lovely
💫💜
i have been through a life dump too x leaving a toxic career, toxic relationships, decluttering etc ….. i can’t tell you how much i have grown through it all, i needed a fresh start before i hit 70-80 years old and regret my life xx i was so unhappy with myself and my life, now i am much kinder to myself and others xx
I'm so happy for you :)
@@MalamaLife thanks lovely xx
Thank you for this kind of videos. We all need to talk about this.
I am so happy to hear that! ❤❤
I have been rejected, fired, etc. multiple times. I just see it as a reality check to see ifmI am really passionate about my current path. Often times I have found that it was just inertia.
Yes it's ok to know when to quit or even to fail because on the other side there is something must greater. When we are our present in the moment/season of life even if its not where we want to be; when we receive our blessing we are even more grateful for it. Sometimes it can be very hard which I know because I in that season but im still grateful, this is an amazing video 😊 and Henry is cute 💕
Always love hearing your thoughts. Thanks deandra! You are so right. I always try to remind myself of this when things are not turning out the way I want. Big hugs 🤗❤😍
Aww Henry is my new love 😍❤ hahah
@@MalamaLife yes, I try to remind myself as well especially during this season im in.
@@MalamaLife he's so fluffy 😍
I love the positive what-ifs at the end
❤😊
Amazing I was just meditating imagining being in a new world other than this one 😭 got denied by 3 jobs back to back it’s just been a struggle needed this so glad this channel exists
I am so sorry to hear that. Hopefully new things are coming your way 🙏💕
Bless your parents for their courage and bless you for the courage to be adaptable! Love your presentations!
“Giving up something is the start of something else.” ❤️
I spoke about the same things you mentioned in my recent videos. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Very important to talk about :) thanks for watching
A wise man told me that the important thing is not the action itself (e.g., giving up), but the motivation behind the action.
However, sometimes in life we're trapped in situations due to commitment or responsibility. As we get older, making changes is much harder to do. Especially when kids or loved ones are involved. Freedom can certainly have it's limitations. Some are self imposed, others are simply beyond our control. I give up when and where I'm able to. Otherwise it comes down to a degree of personal sacrifice. Just a thought. Another nice vid, thanks.
True
Love your lifestyle and very mature comments ❤️,I’m 56 and still learning - thank you 🙏
Thank you for sharing this one!✨ Especially in 2021 with everything that has been happening 💞
🥰❤ aww thank you.
The second of your videos I am watching. Love the soothing voice and offbeat / offgrid, low key persona. Please keep at it. 👊
Thanks so much 😁
Love this message because I literally gave up a lot in order to find my joy and creativity again. It was excruciatingly painful and almost cost my life. Living a life that matters to me is much better than following a hollow idea of success that's empty and lonely. You're not alone. You're not a loser if you give up on something that no longer serve your highest good. Blessings to whoever is feeling off and doing their best. Know that you're not alone. Take care.
Giving up is also known as surrender. When you surrender you gain it all, you now let the universe decide instead of what you think is right. You will naturally grow and become the person you are the moment you let go of these reality models.
Yes! Such an important reminder
I've been waiting to see some new doors open since divorcing the man I was with since I was 15 1/2. It's been almost 2 years and although I was very unhappy, and don't regret doing what was needed to stop the unhappiness, I'm not happy being alone. Maybe that's the lesson I need to learn - is to be happy being alone.
I so get you on this💙
The Old Saying....When One Door Closes Another Opens...!
So true. There is a reason for these old sayings :)
It's hard when family can be hard and don't respect your wishes.
❤️
You cannot choose family but you can choose friends. Nobody forces you to stay with family. If they do not respect you as an individual, why should you respect them as individuals? Nobody has ever asked you to live so nobody can tell you how to live. I mean, they can but you don't need to listen.
@@laaaliiiluuu thank you!!
@@laaaliiiluuu true.
@@laaaliiiluuu Still not easy watch the movie Christine from 1983 and see how my family can be and job it relates to my life to some degree
God you seem so peaceful! It's beautiful. Everyone is so stressed and anxious and frankly nuts in the world i live in!! All miserable!!
This was somehow exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you!
I'm so happy to hear that! Thanks for watching ❤
I recently quit my job and didn’t know what to do. Took me awhile but I ended up starting my business and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made
Yay!! good for you.
Thank you so much this was so beautiful! I decided to give up my studies for now because they didn‘t led me in the direction I want to go and just made me feel really deprived of Energy so this was such a good reminder to me that I am right for listening to my heart🙏🏻
Wishing you the best ❤ in whatever direction you choose
This video came in a perfect timing. I really needed this. Thank you so much.
🥰❤ thank you for watching

Hope you guys let go of what holds you down. Love from a small RUclipsr 💓
That's a great quote. Thanks for sharing.
Ty for advice, now i know what to do.
You're so good and always willing to help people, and so am I, and if we don't know each other in person, I'm sending you a virtual hug
Big hugs to you. sending you much love
Change doesn't always happen in the way we want it to or expect it to go but, theres always something to learn from it
It can be scary, but it's almost always worth it. Thanks for watching ❤🥰
Beautiful and very Personal Video, love the message that giving up doesnt always have to be negative, to see it as a new start 😊
❤️❤️❤️
This gave me a sense of calm in my otherwise chaotic head 💜💜
I'm happy to hear that!!
Dearest Sophia, such a beautiful name,as the gentle soul you have become. Today's Video,almost brought me to tears,but not tears of sadness,but tears of understanding in agreeing to the content of today's video.I could not agree MORE of the idea of letting GO and open up to new experiences to see the changes in our lives, NOT as failures but opportunities to something new and the possibility of something even much better..Iam so proud of you,for a woman as young as you,to discover and sharing these facts with others as your life unfolds is a Blessing.Thank you so much.I truly appreciated you and wish for you and your family,ALL the goodness of Life.
I really love your channel! Someday when I grow older, I will leave a peaceful and simple life
Thank you so much for supporting me ❤❤❤
