I had very interesting day today. I was waiting in my car to pick up my kids from school and listening to a Dr Pauls videos one after another. Suddenly I looked around and see a car that has some words behind it. I look closer to see what was those words saying and guess what it says “ Live on Purpose “ for a moment I was so shocked and excited. So beautiful coincidence.
I see your point. When I became homeless , Living in my car, I became a better person during that time and I learned to appreciate and not take for granted the things I had, before I became homeless. I also learned that I was more self reliant than I believed, and more confident. I survived many horrible situation,s which could have broken me. I'm no longer homeless. But what doesn't kill you, will make you stronger. The simple things now in life, bring me joy and I feel gratitude. . But sometimes, when I deal with the wrong people(negative), I become the victem again, I once was years ago. But, I don't stay there long. But sometimes it can be hard.
I've come across this video researching something for someone else, and I must say...I freaking think you're amazing!! I'm going to be watching more of your videos cos u say it how it is, and it makes So Much sense! Thank u!
Andrea, yep, life has a way of throwing us curve balls when we least expect it! I talk about that in my book. I know you are here on the channel a lot, and I appreciate that. Have you considered getting my book? I think you would like it. I'm giving it away free if you pay for the shipping.

I love these videos. The one with the graph about taking responsibility is so helpful. I showed it to my son, who is now completely determined to be in the final section of the graph and is taking so much responsibility - I don't have to nag him, I ask him "is your homework done," and he says "of course" and waves nonchalantly at his books. ❤️ More on how to deal with teenagers please!
You have a very expressive face! That’s very satisfying. I just found this channel. Although I am familiar with this type of content (not saying that there is nothing new for me, it is), but I felt the urge to stay and to learn more.
Well, another view of this video...a welcomed friend. 💛Challenging times on the door step. I needed reinforcement to help with making the next best decision moving forward. 😑 So much to learn about oneself. Working on the courage to know when there is something I cannot change. 🤔Thanks again Dr. Paul. Hope you continue to be safe as we enter in the vaccination phase of the covid pandemic. 🇨🇦
@@LiveOnPurposeTV Thank you. As one of your other video's emphasized, "You can handle this! Look at all that you have handled so far in your life and you got through it. It may have been sad, frustrating, hurtful but in the end you got through it." Yes, safe here in Eastern Canada. :)
I know even the hard things in life happen for a reason. Jesus teaches us that it is to build our character, and bring us empathy for others, but He also gives us hope for “healing” and also ultimately the hope of “heaven” after earth. Scriptures also teach us to think on the positive aspects! In lighter trials, I find the funny… sometimes it’s sarcastic funny, but funny none-the-less. It helps …lol #whynotme #powerful 🙏 ❤
This all does not work for me! We lost our house to foreclosure, our daughter is special needs (NF1, autistic, development behind, had open heart surgery, 10 months of chemo and lots more), my father with dementia and being guardian, then father passes away, my brother passes away a few days after dads service, my computer sales and service business closed due to lack of business and unable to pay rent. I suffer from anxiety, depression, adult autism, ptsd, sleep apnea and right lung diagram paralyzed. Things will not get better. My child will progressively get worse as I will continue to get worse. Only able to sleep 3 hours of sleep a night as daughter has sleep problems after doctors trying for 5 years. There is no way to see good in this, no matter what you try to think does not change reality. It’s a very sad life.
The link to Portable Positivity is not working, but this video is amazing, like you are a blessing on earth, Dr. Paul. God bless you, really. I really appreciate you take the time to share what you have learned to us this way.
Thank you for the ebook, making some tea and having a read!! I love your videos, you help me see that there is hope 😁 I've decided that you're on my cheerleading squad!!!!
The Offer for the free digital copy of the Portable Positivity book is not available anymore. The link in this video's description (as well as other videos) does not work. I'd love to be of assistance if there's an opening. ♥
Well, I was married for 68 years. To one of the best men I ever knew. Ever. He died one month ago. My sorrow is not even tellable. I am old. Very old. This is pain that only God can help with. My life is more than blessed. Nine children and support unimaginable. Still, don’t know the answer right now.
Shirley, it is o.k. that you don't know the answer right now. Sit with it and be thankful for every good thing you have. Concentrate on those and know that grief doesn't have a timetable.
Wong video for me to watch. God bless this man for what hes saying. Very positive stuff. And im a positive man myself . ... However im at the very end..... the edge . nothing against this video i think its great . just not for me at this point. Im thinking about checking out .
John Mckeehan, I hope you aren't saying what I think you are. I hope you can feel the positivity again and hope along with it. Get out and meet some new people, pick up a new hobby, connect with old friends again. Find a reason to be excited about every day.
I hope you are OK. Remember, how you are feeling will not last forever. Think of other times when you felt terrible and then time passed and you felt better. You can feel good again.
I have a question - with your twisted ankle story, you conditioned yourself to say "this is perfect"; how do you believe that? Its an event without judgement, but twisting an ankle can have really bad outcomes. Some of my medical conditions had really bad outcomes. How do you believe in an optimistic judgement of an event, when the event causes a lot of other events, that have objectively bad outcomes? (Losing my job after being in a car accident that broke my arms and had me bedridden for a week, then several months of struggling to pay bills and find another job)
I have enjoyed watching many of your videos and using your advice, but this video has left me conflicted. Your story about the abused boy seems too much like victim blaming. What would you say to a two year old that was raped by their parent, or a baby who was beaten by a uncle? Would you ask that toddler what kind of two year old gets raped by their parent? I understand that positivity is a important tool to change one's life for the better and moving out of the victim role is empowering, but this approach to get their seems wrong.
Michelle Eilers, absolutely not. There is no excuse for abuse. We can't prevent what happens to us sometimes, but we can choose what we do with it. That may take some time, it isn't that something happens and we immediately are able to forgive and move beyond, that can take some time and the abuse may need to be processed at different times in their lives, but it can happen. One thing we don't ever want to let go of is hope.
My day was starting really poorly, and I mean really poorly. Then I came across this video and it was just what I needed. Thank you for helping me make my day so much better.
Dr. Paul, I recently listened to your podcast with a lady Minister from the Caribean who pointed out a healthy perspective on when we think we are in the worst situation ever in our personal lives. She has a history of horrific abuse/trauma but overcame it using a few strategies. One of them is that we are not alone and that there are so many millions of others that are so worse off and in severe pain. So our situation may feel like the worst of everyone but it is actually not. Then she pointed out that what kept her going was nurturing the feeling of hope. She found ways to nurture that. She also pointed out that she survived because she told herself that he situation was temporary and believed that things would change. There were a few more perspectives that were helpful. During the pandemic, and now with more varient strains of covid on the lose all over the world, these vids of this topic are a regular "go to" to help with the coping. Thank you so much! 💛 🌈 🇨🇦
Looking for positivity!! I would look at my grandmother for the reminders of how positivity is powerful! (Passed in 1/2018) She was asked on a survey about her overall health: great, good, fair, bad, terrible (I am pretty sure they didn't use those exact words.) She answers Great! My grandfather says...you have diabetes, quadruple bypass, colon cancer....she said okay I'll put fair. Her mind set was always that of positive. It wasn't an illness it was a step in life..and kept moving forward. She was about looking for the enjoyment in all. Learing from all. That is why I have been trying to find my positivity reminders and work on building those skills. I want to be that for myself and family. Working towards goals. Thank you Dr. Paul!
I would have loved to meet your grandmother, Jennifer Mrosko. She sounds amazing, and someone I could have learned a thing or 2 from. Thank you for sharing a bit of her life here. I would like to let you know of a promotion I'm offering. I am giving away my book "Pathological Positivity" for free, and just ask that you pay for the shipping. You said that you're trying to build positivity skills, I think my book could assist you with this wonderful goal. You can go here to order if you wish: drpauljenkins.info/freebook
I am big fan of u dr Paul .u r awesome ....way of explaining is I never seen anywhere ....I am sharing vedios in WhatsApp n friends ..u r seriously awesomeee
This video is so necessary during the covid pandemic. I have again bookmarked your vids, this one is particularly important. Thank you so much for helping us cope with all the horrific situation. There is a lot of people helping each other during this pandemic. That gives hope and uplifts ones spirit. Expectations/judging circumstances is one issue Dr. Paul. Your vid on "you can handle it" is also another vid that is regularly viewed to help. Work in progress is on full tilt. P.S. This is good. Dr. Paul, LOL, referring to your vids too....those are sooooooo good! 😉 🇨🇦
Joy in pain, When I get a deep tissue massage IT HURTS but I tell myself this is good. So I see what your trying to say here. I'm just starting a possible ugly divorce with a 6 year old son. Thank you for this information and helping me stay in control of my mind as I fight this restraining order she opened with.
It's like when Rocky Balboa said to his son about not pointing fingers and blaming others saying that you ain't where you want to be because of him or her or anybody. He was showing him that we are in control of our lives not other people. He was using the positive paradigm rather than the victim paradigm.
Ed Smith, you are right. When we identify the principle, we can see it being played out in many areas. I love to watch movies and find these, you will hear me reference lots of movies on the videos.
I have a question With the climate change news our teens get hamnered. We show them that the sh** is going to hit the fan. We as nations have no answer Politics do nothing And most put their head in the sand. We teach our kids old tools and news in school unteaching them Original thought, that might be the solution. Help. How can we support them with such a dire outlook? Thank you thank you
Hi. Idl if you remember me. I commented about my toxic inlaws. Turns out the sister in law finally made the mother in law speak for her. Now all of them are on the same page. She made drama on my babies 1st birthday Party. And now that they have noticed my disapproval they are posting comments all over social media about what they think i am. So i started treating them like they treat me and they didnt like it. My husband is planning on talking to them, this is his mom and sisters. Do you have any advice for both my husband and myself. I'm trying to not let any stupid comment affect me because they are just projecting how they are but sometimes i can't stop overthinking about what i would like to say to them. Thanks
Hello Lola Spain, you and your husband need to decide what kind of a relationship you want with his mom and sisters, and then work toward that. Do not respond as they did, it will only fuel the fire.
@@LiveOnPurposeTV by the looks of the situation, he is goingvto let them decide that when he goesvto talk to them. Either they get the idea that they are being immature and apologize, or they explode and shoot themselves on the foot. It's going to be hard for him to have to let them go . But im sure they wont get it. For starters, the sister is a narcissist....
@@LiveOnPurposeTV hi. She would not listen to him unless i was present. First they want me oit of their business and now she wants me there. Obviously she just wanted to have another chance to insult me even more. So we just left things as they are. But now she is out of our lives. 🤷♀️
Dr. Paul, I viewed this again...and honestly, again and again, LOL...and when the vid gets to the 14:33 watching your articulation, storytelling skills brings a smile to my moment. Your presentation skills are so powerful and effective. A viewer feels that you are talking directly to them. Very inclusive feeling. Thank you so much for being you Dr. Paul. 😀 🇨🇦 You are getting us fired up about this stuff as well 💛 I read the positivity book. A compact clear one hour read that makes sense! Combine the book with a few vids where you discuss the book and give more examples for clarity and WHAM BAM! You have a comprehensive concept put out there! 💚 👍 💯 🇨🇦
Wow, when I’m spiralling off into a thought train of negativity and I feel so emotional like crying, I put on one of these videos and I instantly calm down and go into rational mode. Thank you so much! You are amazing. You’re helping me rewire my brain!
Meta Cognition? You mean Introspection? its built into some personalities, like the INTJ, which is what I am, most people never think about their thinking, but I do it every second of every day...
Yes, introspection could be another term, Acutus Lux. I typically associate introspection with an observation of feelings, whereas metacognition is thinking about your thinking, however that is a sufficient synonym. Glad you do that regularly. Thanks for watching Live On Purpose TV.
This is relevant especially during the covid pandemic! Gosh! To use Live on Purpose TV's practice, the covid pandemic 😷 is an opportunity to work on positive personal growth. Working on the "demons" that are haunting. Allowing the tears to flow now and again is OK. Thank you for these vids. They feel supportive and help nurture that one is not alone 💛 to find ways to cope through dynamic situations. So...this is exactly how it should be, this is perfect...it is what it is....painful is not necessarily bad. Yup! Got the perception. The work is endless. Thank you 🇨🇦
I've never heard it explained this way - the two paradigms being noxious negativity (victim paradigm) or pathological positivity (agent paradigm). I have heard or narcissist and codependent - and to me that makes it sound like narcissists are an evil villain and codependents are weak. Thank you for your awesome videos!
Miss American Pie, you can offer help, but can't do much more. He has to see that it is an option and want to do it. Perhaps you can talk to someone and he can see that it is helping you.
Can you explain on how a broken or severed ankle can be “perfect”? Are you just saying “this is perfect” just to lie to yourself ? I would understand saying “I hope this is not so bad as it looks” or “I will recover”. If a broken ankle is considered “perfect” what is an ankle that almost broke but it is OK? Are we trying to convince ourselves for something just for the sake of positivity?
I truly believe that a positive attitude will lead to faster healing. We can't go back and prevent what happened, i.e. a sprained ankle, but we can be positive in the process of healing and be at peace with ourselves to take on the challenges that will occur with any injury. Hope that helps, cghera.
Live On Purpose TV, that is my question. Been positive is one thing (my ankle hurts, I may be seriously injured, but I will recover), and saying what happened (an injury) is perfect is something else. I want to be realistic and not walk in the clouds just for saying I am positive, hoping that this will make me feel better or recover earlier..
cghera what he’s saying is realistic. If it’s happening “to” you, it’s happening “FOR” you. Everything is perfect planning, and the more positive of a stance you take on it, the more positive you attract to your self. If you stay “realistic” (neutral) then you’ll be calling what’s expected towards you. If that makes sense

Linda Verghese, thank you for sharing!
This video is so necessary during the covid pandemic. I have again bookmarked your vids, this one is particularly important. Thank you so much for helping us cope with all the horrific situation. There is a lot of people helping each other during this pandemic. That gives hope and uplifts ones spirit. Expectations/judging circumstances is one issue Dr. Paul. Your vid on "you can handle it" is also another vid that is regularly viewed to help. Work in progress is on full tilt. P.S. This is good. Dr. Paul, LOL, referring to your vids too....those are sooooooo good! 😉 🇨🇦
Meg's Carpentry, thank you. Glad you are here at the channel.
You have saved my life and brought peace to all around me. God Bless!!!

How do I figure out what I want to do with my life?
Kalyn K Brown, try something you are interested in and see where it takes you. If you aren't passionate about it, try something else.
Joy in pain, When I get a deep tissue massage IT HURTS but I tell myself this is good. So I see what your trying to say here.
I'm just starting a possible ugly divorce with a 6 year old son. Thank you for this information and helping me stay in control of my mind as I fight this restraining order she opened with.
Gary Palmer, I am sorry to hear that. I wish you the best.

Katherine Lydon, thanks for being part of our community.
LOL, me as well. The positivity side of Covid eh! :) Leading to meta cognition. Cheers from Atlantic Canada.
Back for my daily does.
Julie Ryan, you can't overdose, take two. Haha.
It's like when Rocky Balboa said to his son about not pointing fingers and blaming others saying that you ain't where you want to be because of him or her or anybody. He was showing him that we are in control of our lives not other people. He was using the positive paradigm rather than the victim paradigm.
Ed Smith, you are right. When we identify the principle, we can see it being played out in many areas. I love to watch movies and find these, you will hear me reference lots of movies on the videos.
I tried the link. Not there.
Is that the one for Portable Positivity? Here it is: drpauljenkins.info/portablepositivity
Dude now I am gonna start laughing when something very bad happens. Thanks
Irish Slaves, it might be the proper response.
Dr.Paul, You've opened the door to move from pain to perfection. You're great!
Wow, thank you! Glad you are here.

@@LiveOnPurposeTV sure sir....
I have a question
With the climate change news our teens get hamnered.
We show them that the sh** is going to hit the fan.
We as nations have no answer
Politics do nothing
And most put their head in the sand.
We teach our kids old tools and news in school unteaching them Original thought, that might be the solution.
Help.
How can we support them with such a dire outlook?
Thank you thank you
Simone Moir, positivity is the answer. Practicing gratitude and using discontent to make a better life. Check out my positivity power-up program.
Hi. Idl if you remember me. I commented about my toxic inlaws. Turns out the sister in law finally made the mother in law speak for her. Now all of them are on the same page. She made drama on my babies 1st birthday Party. And now that they have noticed my disapproval they are posting comments all over social media about what they think i am. So i started treating them like they treat me and they didnt like it. My husband is planning on talking to them, this is his mom and sisters. Do you have any advice for both my husband and myself. I'm trying to not let any stupid comment affect me because they are just projecting how they are but sometimes i can't stop overthinking about what i would like to say to them.
Thanks
Hello Lola Spain, you and your husband need to decide what kind of a relationship you want with his mom and sisters, and then work toward that. Do not respond as they did, it will only fuel the fire.
@@LiveOnPurposeTV by the looks of the situation, he is goingvto let them decide that when he goesvto talk to them. Either they get the idea that they are being immature and apologize, or they explode and shoot themselves on the foot. It's going to be hard for him to have to let them go . But im sure they wont get it. For starters, the sister is a narcissist....
@@LiveOnPurposeTV hi. She would not listen to him unless i was present. First they want me oit of their business and now she wants me there. Obviously she just wanted to have another chance to insult me even more. So we just left things as they are. But now she is out of our lives. 🤷♀️
Dr. Paul, I viewed this again...and honestly, again and again, LOL...and when the vid gets to the 14:33 watching your articulation, storytelling skills brings a smile to my moment. Your presentation skills are so powerful and effective. A viewer feels that you are talking directly to them. Very inclusive feeling. Thank you so much for being you Dr. Paul. 😀 🇨🇦 You are getting us fired up about this stuff as well 💛 I read the positivity book. A compact clear one hour read that makes sense! Combine the book with a few vids where you discuss the book and give more examples for clarity and WHAM BAM! You have a comprehensive concept put out there! 💚 👍 💯 🇨🇦
Meg's Carpentry, thank you! Glad you enjoyed the book, thank you for your comment.
Wow, when I’m spiralling off into a thought train of negativity and I feel so emotional like crying, I put on one of these videos and I instantly calm down and go into rational mode. Thank you so much! You are amazing. You’re helping me rewire my brain!
Shay J, you are doing the work necessary to change the brain. So glad you are on this journey.
Meta Cognition? You mean Introspection? its built into some personalities, like the INTJ, which is what I am, most people never think about their thinking, but I do it every second of every day...
Yes, introspection could be another term, Acutus Lux. I typically associate introspection with an observation of feelings, whereas metacognition is thinking about your thinking, however that is a sufficient synonym. Glad you do that regularly. Thanks for watching Live On Purpose TV.
This is relevant especially during the covid pandemic! Gosh! To use Live on Purpose TV's practice, the covid pandemic 😷 is an opportunity to work on positive personal growth. Working on the "demons" that are haunting. Allowing the tears to flow now and again is OK. Thank you for these vids. They feel supportive and help nurture that one is not alone 💛 to find ways to cope through dynamic situations. So...this is exactly how it should be, this is perfect...it is what it is....painful is not necessarily bad. Yup! Got the perception. The work is endless. Thank you 🇨🇦
Meg's Carpentry, sounds like you are getting it all down. A more positive you is emerging.

Amazing. Powerful stuff Dr Paul. I'm a 45 yo father of a 4 yo and have plenty of challenges this will help with. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!

I've never heard it explained this way - the two paradigms being noxious negativity (victim paradigm) or pathological positivity (agent paradigm). I have heard or narcissist and codependent - and to me that makes it sound like narcissists are an evil villain and codependents are weak. Thank you for your awesome videos!
Rachel G., thanks for watching, honored to be on your team.
This is very helpful! Can you do something about body image issues and what to do when your teenager is stressed from school/life/friends?
Joyce Chang, that is a great idea. We are developing more content in our membership site at go.liveonpurposecentral.com.
I always try to find a silver lining, no matter how miniscule it might be.....lol
nvaranavage, and you are happier than most!
You are amazing ...you saved my life
Thank you so much🌹
You're welcome!
My boyfriend is suffering depression after the loss of his son. I’ve suggested he get professional help and he refuses what can I do?
Miss American Pie, you can offer help, but can't do much more. He has to see that it is an option and want to do it. Perhaps you can talk to someone and he can see that it is helping you.
This video aged well haha
SASHA, yes, it shows that we need to power up our positivity because it will be needed.
Can you explain on how a broken or severed ankle can be “perfect”? Are you just saying “this is perfect” just to lie to yourself ? I would understand saying “I hope this is not so bad as it looks” or “I will recover”. If a broken ankle is considered “perfect” what is an ankle that almost broke but it is OK? Are we trying to convince ourselves for something just for the sake of positivity?
I truly believe that a positive attitude will lead to faster healing. We can't go back and prevent what happened, i.e. a sprained ankle, but we can be positive in the process of healing and be at peace with ourselves to take on the challenges that will occur with any injury. Hope that helps, cghera.
Live On Purpose TV, that is my question. Been positive is one thing (my ankle hurts, I may be seriously injured, but I will recover), and saying what happened (an injury) is perfect is something else. I want to be realistic and not walk in the clouds just for saying I am positive, hoping that this will make me feel better or recover earlier..
cghera what he’s saying is realistic. If it’s happening “to” you, it’s happening “FOR” you. Everything is perfect planning, and the more positive of a stance you take on it, the more positive you attract to your self. If you stay “realistic” (neutral) then you’ll be calling what’s expected towards you. If that makes sense
