I'm a female in my late 20's and appreciate your videos. It didn't even cross my mind that you might be speaking more towards a male audience. So just keep being you. You are genuine and have morals. That's all a good leader/teacher needs, honestly. You've got this country girl listening and taking your advice. And yes, women are the same when it comes to respect. Except it's done more often behind our backs. Women friendships are very very fickle these days.
People with mutral respect will understand that yeah it is understandable that he has a noto towards male audiences. But it shouldn't matter male nor female should be bias in these videos. Advice is advice to anyone who is open to it and understand it.
13:40 One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was “Don’t be that guy who got divorced 5 times and goes around town saying all his ex wives are crazy.” Denial is not just a river in Egypt 😂
Mom taught me "respect is earned. Give everyone a teaspoon of it, and, based on how they act, see if you should give them another teaspoon." Thanks mom.
That is an awesome thought! As kids we were focusing on beeing a servant (like jesus) to everyone. That's what my mom lived. That's not bad of itself, but the consequence was getting soft, beeing an easy target for manipulation and shutting down the own opinion. In the end theres a lot of frustration and selfdoubt. Giving yourself up to God, thats alright (I'm no christian myself but i ghet the concept). Giving yourself up to another human beeing, thats just wrong. For both parties, especially if its your own kids. (Moma talks about that in her channel) So knowing the laws of respect, knowing how to give and to recieve it, what it implies and what it excludes, is absolutely essential for beeing a complete human beeing. I'm really greatful for this channel to help me collect the wisdom i was missing out. Cheers to your Mom! She had that down. Have a good day from switzerland
that sound like a good way to do it, I personally had to come up with how I do it myself, I just give people the same respect I expect to get back from a new person, from there one it either decreases or increases upon how much they give back.
Respect isn't like a paycheck, by doing the work it doesn't guarantee you a paycheck at the end of the day. Sometimes giving out respect will make you look weak in the eyes of others and they will see you more as an easy target. I say have respect for yourself and only give out respect to people who deserve it. Who deserves it? People capable of self-awarness, realizing their mistakes. I've seen too many narcissists in my life and they prey off people who give out respect like candy because they know how foolish it is, how easy it is to take advantage of due to the naive nature of it. Give out respect at your own peril. And one other thing I hear from time to time is the misconstrued idea that respect is equal to common decency. It is not. "The good four. Honest with ourselves and with whatever is friend to us; courageous toward the enemy; generous toward the vanquished; polite-always. That is how the four cardinal virtues want us." Nietzsche Conduct yourself with politeness, hold your temper, refuse to be manipulated into acting against your will, be decent to those who deserve it. But give respect out at your own peril. If you respect everyone, you either live among paragons of humankind because they all deserve veneration, or more likely you set the bar to low and venerate the unvenerable, and it's undeserving and cheapens true greatness. When you withhold respect it makes it rare, and rarity is where true value lies. Have decency, withhold the respect.
Word almost quit my dishwashing job at the ski area... Yeah I know a dish wash job....another story... So the manager was riding my ass over eating food and the proper procedures I was NOT following. So I went the fuck off of sorts.... I blew up on his manager ass.. let him know you do NOT speak to me like that...which led me into the conversation of my manager manipulating his words to get me off this piece of equipment I was sitting on by saying it's a beautiful day out why don't you sit outside and eat.... Well cuz I am an old ass motherfucker who has the ability to think for one's self. I sad no I am good right here. He proceeds to tell me the value of the piece of equipment I was sitting on and asked me to get off of it.... Well I"ll tell you what it would have been easier to say hey could you not sit on that steamer.. instead of it's a nice day outside go eat out there.... Banger headache was not sitting outside in the bright light at 10000 ft... What a cocksucker.
So true. One of my closest friends who was just killed in an automobile accident recently, gained the respect of so many people through this platform that it was almost comical, and unbelievable. And he gained a lot of that respect because he even respected his biggest haters. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but he was a fairly popular man on RUclips. And when you become noticed on RUclips, you just develop haters naturally, it’s the nature of the beast. But because my friend was so kind and respectful to EVERYONE, including the haters, that set him apart from the rest, a true one of a kind man. Sometimes, it really does seem that the best are always the first to leave this earth before the bad.
@@miguelsilva9085kind of. It's hard for me to disrespect people though, I'd rather disengage than disrespect. It feels like a curse sometimes honestly
@@MyWillBeDone my ex would literally say that if u disrespect him he is not taking the high road… he is going to haunt you and make it even because he is the savage one🥴 he’s 28 I’m 19.. crazy
I'm a 46 year old mum of three...I live in New Zealand. Last Tuesday night I prayed that God would somehow bring a mentor for my 26 year old son. The next day he sent me one of your videos...he said you were really having an impact on his life. Now I'm also listening. God works in mysterious ways and I just wanted to let you know what you are doing is having a profound effect. Our son's are desperate for real kind hearted men...thank you for being one of these men❤️
14:22 - DAMN! Mom said that too! "You need to respect the chair, not the person in it!" WOW! I do love being "old school". World gotta get back to that.
Another excellent video. My father told me, and I have told my sons, not to worry if some people disrespect you as long as you are a good person, live right and treat others with respect. As my dad told me, “Lions don’t care about the opinions of sheep.” Congrats on the channel. You earned it.
I agree with you. Treat people the way you want to be treated. Talk to people the way you want to be talked to. And respect is earned not given. Be a wolf among sheep.
I always had trouble with verses in the bible that call for us to be meek. However I’ve learned that meekness doesn’t mean weak or a that you’re a push over. It comes from the it comes from the Greek “Prautes” which translates to decided strength of disciplined calmness. It’s having the power to wield a sword when needed, but knowing when to keep it sheathed.
@@cameronmnelsonkeep on keeping on with the word studies! Anyway I think of "meek" as a quality of admitting to oneself that they don't have All the answers, so with that they become coachable, and so then you are meek or coachable realizing you don't have All the answers.
I’m a female over 50 that never had a father figure. If I were to have had one, I feel that you would have provided amazing life lessons that may have allowed me to avoid some of the pitfalls of life; dealing with people, caring for myself and those I am responsible for. You provide so many life lessons that I appreciate so very much. So, I’m a grateful girl, sitting at your feet, listening contently - learning and filled with gratitude. Thank you for your thoughts and advice.
I can honestly say my 85 year father raised me to be respectful and I thank God for that. And he has a high standard for being honorable. And I raised my son the same, it must be taught and demonstrated. Great video and topic!
@@fflfred Honoring God comes before any and everything! I have two driving principles in my life that guide me; 1. To Glorify God 1st and always and 2. Provide for my family! That is it, I keep it simple therefore there is never any question what my intentions are in life as the man that God created me to be!
@@fflfred Lol yep, there is always someone that gets their panties in a twist whenever GOD is mentioned. Thank you for proving to me once again that GOD does indeed exist. Much love.
my life sucked at 16 dude im 17 now and things have shifted so much im a much better person just shows things can change so fast so i wouldnt worry too much my friend i reckon youll be ok just gotta be tough
I'm a 38 year old man with a wife and two children one 10 year old boy and a 3 year old girl. We live in Southern Illinois. I lost my dad a couple years back an he was my best friend. Any problem I had I could call him and he had a answer for or could fix. When it was his time it left a hole in me. We would sit in the early mornings an have discussions over the things that were happening and he always found a way to make things better. I found your channel a couple weeks ago and started watching your videos. I found myself getting up early to get coffee an go to the garage to watch your videos. It gives me a sense of how my father was an the talks we had. It's not a replacement for him but it reminds me who he was an who he made me. What your doing helps an sometimes even grow men can get lost an need a hand in life. A small talk can go a long way.....thank you
Amen. I whole-heartedly agree with your sense of gratitude for this man and the time he has taken to show his respect for us as a "younger generation".
" Who is respectable? the one who respects others .Who is wise ?the one who learns from all. Who is rich ? the one who is happy with his lot .Who is the hero ? the one who conquers his desires"
To add to workplace respect and disrespect. Make sure it’s ACTUAL disrespect you’re receiving and not playful ribbing. I got “picked on” a lot at work. My boss says to me, “we mess with you cause we like you. If we didn’t say a word to you, that’s when you know there’s a problem.” Us guys are just like that. However if it’s blatant with no smiles and winks afterwords, then it’s real bullying. Or if you’re still confused, don’t be afraid to ask the person outright (peacefully of course).
From what I have experienced, if guys start giving you a hard time and you just laugh it off, they will usually leave you alone. But if they can tell that they have gotten to you, they won't stop
Agree w you and want to add that I used to take offense and seek pity or lash out in anger. Now I actually enjoy being brunt of jokes bc it keeps the attention off others who might not be able to handle it, plus it gives me chances to be witty back at them. It's all fun and games if everyone is laughing. This world is too dark to be serious all the time
@@lostbooks2918 Because the day comes when this bullied person has had too much, and takes a firearm to work, so much for the bullies, and any other innocent people that are unfortunate enough to be around ! It's reaching epidemic type proportions
Well said Dwayne. I am 72 and have been a lot of places and have worked with a lot of people. One thing that I learned at a young age was that it takes time and hard work to earn someone’s respect. It is not something that you are automatically given. On the other hand, it takes almost nothing to loose that respect that you worked so hard to earn. I continue to send your words of wisdom to my kids and grandkids. Hopefully some of your advice will sink in and make them better examples and citizens in this world that we live.
Dewayne, I'm 72, Been through alot in this life. From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. Its been just a few months ago I found your channel. I've enjoyed every video I've seen. I find that your advice holds true for all human beings. I relate to everything I've heard you say. Thank you so much, it's so nice to know there's still a few that follow the old ways that we were brought up with. You and Deanna are very special individuals.
Funny how making a simple video turns into helping people like you never imagined! 💪🇺🇸💯. Good for you brother and momma! This country needs a lot of help remembering where it came from and who it is!!!!👀
21 year old girl here, completely agree with everything you've said. I truly love coming to your channel to seek this fatherly advise/wisdom. thank you for what you do.
One of my favorite break downs of any word is Responsibility... Given my ability what is my response, sounds simple but with proper understanding is not simple. It is very direct and complicated. It is truly HOW we choose to live our lives given that one word. We should embrace Responsibility and understand more of it, more of what our own responsibility is. There's great power and pride to be earned in knowing this and choosing to take it on. Society today is always encouraging us to take on less and less responsibility, but I'll tell y'all, go take on more of it and challenge yourselves, you'll surely grow stonger when you do.
Sir, I was raised back in a day. When if your neighbors addressed you, you started your sentence with ma’am, and finished it with ma’am you held doors open for folks, and you just had a lot more common courtesy. I appreciate your videos, your calm, rational thoughts, and your pleasurable eloquent presentation of words is quite refreshing to say the least. I enjoy your videos my friend. Have a nice day. Thanks for sharing.
12:59 I'm not sure where I heard it, but I have a similar saying: If one person calls you a horse, you tell them to F off If a second person calls you a horse, you ignore them If a third person calls you a horse, you best get yourself a saddle as you might be a horse. Love your videos man, super kind message with a great heart.
I’m very grateful for this channel, and congratulations on your well-deserved success. You’re good people, sometimes I forget that those still exist, since I grew up in the inner city life. Cheers
I lost my father when I was 15, i'm nearly 35 now, I wish he were around a lot longer to help me out with things, but he was a Vietnam veteran infantry tunnel rat, he lived through some crazy shit and died early at 58. He protected and loved his family till the end though, but never truly forged fatherly values to hand down, your videos help me out a lot mate, thank you.
@@dustychayeh4878 Thanks mate, sure he left us early but he made a huge impact on everyone that came across him. He'd be proud of what i've done with my life I know that for sure.
I'm a single woman who recently discovered your wife's channel and through hers, I found yours. I gotta tell you, I've never heard such a great definition and presentation (explanation) of respect. I appreciate you and your wife and all you're sharing. God bless you!
Thank you so! Your poem is beautiful. Minister Kevin L.A Ewing is strong in the word of Elohiym and taught me to pray the scriptures something I didn't know but yes! How bout psalm 103 v20?
Just want to say that I am a woman in my early 40s and have been watching your videos for about a year now and have never ever felt “excluded” by your manner of speaking. I have gained so much valuable insight from your videos about horses and videos about life. Thank you for making this channel and don’t change a thing!! You are giving people so much help and hope!
I read an Old Testament scripture the other day that said, “stand in the presence of the aged”. (Can you imagine young people today standing up when a very old person comes into the room…?). How far we have drifted…! We have lost a lot of demonstrations of respect. Yet, many guys, and girls, are ready to fight saying he or she “dissed me”. It wouldn’t bother you one BIT if you respected yourself…!!! Great points Dwayne…! You’re the MAN…!
Oh my God! I like this video so much ! Your voice is so warm that makes me feel like talking to an eld family member ! But you know what? I don’t have any elder like you. I’m a Chinese when I was young , including my teachers and my parents had never taught me about respecting myself . I have been shocked by the words that come out from your mouth . The words impact me, they worked ! So I can find a kind of feeling that if I do respect myself on my own , than I don’t need other’s . I don’t give a shiiit about others. Thank you old man ! Thank you so much ! I love you. 😂😂😂
I found this guy a few days back, and wow….I run to every new video now. He’s like Arthur Morgan in real life, and he really speaks the truth about being a good man. Appreciate the words of wisdom.
18:31 this was what it was for me it hurt me inside not to respect myself and my own actions I had to change for me to realize once I had self respect I didn’t much need the respect and others and actually if you focus on respecting yourself the respect of others will follow!!!
Greetings, Dwaine (sorry for the spelling) and the team! I saw your video in my recommended feed after a breakup and I started watching them one at a time and I got hooked. Thanks so much for your time invested in sharing these important topics. I live in the opposite side of the globe, a small country of Kyrgyzstan. We have a great deal of horses here and I'll be paying more attention to this whole culture and might even take a lesson or two on riding, but more than everything I'm thankful for your warmth, calmness and encouragement to us, who really need to clean up our corner of the planet. Peace, Russ.
Respect is given after observing people of competence. I finnally understand why nobody used to respect me and now i know how to fix it. Thanks for this video sir.
I must say that I have watched many of your videos and at first I was offish of anyone saying this is how it is , but over time you prove that you were not just talking but you where thoughtful and thinking and doing your best to think clearly in a muddy world and pass those thoughts along thank you! I am a little slow but I do get there in time with honest thoughts and direction.
Glad to see ya. Y’all be safe on your trip. Always appreciate you and your wisdom of life and the synergy with it. I need all the help I can get. Your definition of respect hits home with me and now I can look at respect in another way now. Thank you
Keep creating content! Love your vibe and wisdom. These videos are beyond important. Older more mature guys usually don’t talk, they just do. It’s good to hear you kicking knowledge that can really change someone a generation of lives ❤
I stumbled on to your videos and have found them very informative I'm not a young man you speak of but, one thing I was taught I can learn something from everyone, I follow the creator and the red road, thank you for your teachings. Much respect
Thats such a great story to hear. When people disrespect me like that old man did you, most times I sit there quiet until they’re done and go on my way. Sometimes though I would look back and think perhaps I should’ve done something back, but you put it eloquently “let him disrespect himself” This gives me more confidence in taking the high road and not always retaliating when ppl come at me. Of course if ppl disrespect my fiance the gloves come off
I hope your trip goes good. I pray they have eyes to see and ears to hear. You offer good "common sense" advice and it is truly appreciated. God bless!
You and your wife make great videos for me and my wife to listen (me 26, my wife 29) thank you for your words of wisdom and life advice. Keep em coming Dwayne.❤️
Hey Sir. Just wanted to thank you for the time you spend on these videos and all the help you give both on horsemanship and humanity. You are very much appreciated. God bless you and your family for all you do.
Agree completely - all aspects of this conversation! I'm 58- been married 34 years next week- new subscriber to your channel and joined Mama's channel today too!
Rite on sir I support you. I'm 37 been threw alot, and I wish ppl would respect my privacy and respect my choice of being alone cause I found true happiness from being by myself and sober for 8 years off alcohol. But I have teens and ppl my age act like children and being disrespectful around me everyday. And I just want to be left alone, and I want ppl to mind there own business and worry about themselves and not what I'm doing. But I try to keep my mouth shut the best I can but sometimes the disrespect is soo constant I have to open my mouth and disrespectf them right back just the way I am. May not be right but I'm not gonna let someone keep disrespecting me and get away with it. And I respect all my elders and I try to always show respect to ppl that don't deserve it, maybe that's wrong but I like to see ppl change for the good and to help themselves. And with today's youth they think everything's a dam joke and take nothing seriously and laugh at tragedys and make fun of disabilities make fun of religious ppl. And I think all of us would be better off if those kinds of ppl just kept there mouth shut and mind there own business. And I know why they keep disrespecting me everyday, there "trying" to make me depress soo I go back to drugs and alcohol but that ain't gonna happen been clean for soo long not gonna happen. When I was 25 I quit pain pills and I haven't went back to that 12 years off that. That was the worst drug I got hooked too, if I couldn't get it off the street I had dentist pull out good teeth just soo I can get some. 12 years ago it was easy to get it that way. I did that like 7 times. Cause I didn't plan to live past 25 but I got clean and found a reason to live. I was 90 pounds back then, taking 16 vicodines in one hour. I even lived threw 5 oxy 80s and a half of a half gallon of vodka in me. Only reason I survived that was my tolerance was soo high I could handle it. I quit drinking when I was 29 now I'm 37 been working out alot for the last 5 years cause I found that was my passion and I made that my obsession. Cause that help me kept sober, and all my friends I use to have they all stop talking to me cause I got sober I think but I really don't care cause they still drink everyday and I guess they were never friends in the first place. 8 years I had no one to really vent too I spent 8 holidays 8 birthdays alone and the first couple years being sober and alone was hard but I got use to it and I found a way to still be happy and poor at the same time. Now that was hard to learn. I just started watching your videos and I like your knowledge I always love to learn things I don't know. I'm gonna keep watching sir keep up the good work cause I can tell you like to help ppl too and it's a great feeling when you know you helped someone out of darkness.
Good one! Im from MS living in Colorado for 8 years and sometimes I think people take our niceness and respect for weakness. You are the man! Im almost 36 and I tell my wife I want to be just like you when I grow up. She says I sure hope so. Hahaha
You remind me a lot of my father. From the way you speak, to your mannerisms. He passed away in January. I'm glad I found you, it's helped being able to listen to you. Have a wonderful Christmas
Thank you ! For taking time too make these videos . These are the types of conversations I crave when I go too a pipe shop unfortunately it’s usually nothing you can glean any substance or value from usually enjoy my pipe or cigars in silence but other times if not at the briery pipe shop close too home I’ll smoke along with you or one of the other men NW pipe smoker is also a favorite and a few others . I am of the opinion that Respect is a fine line . Observing someone’s discomfort ,disposition in a situation like with the old man he’s having a bad day or just didn’t like the way you done things etc but your basic instinct human reaction sets in first so you wanna throw hands then you thought about self respect and still maintained a mindset toward respecting your elder. This stuck out because I’ve been there in a similar situation.
Dewayne, thank you for this video. I 34m, have been being tested at work, in regards to respect lately. Something came up between myself and another gentleman (much older than myself), yesterday, on the job. I thought of you and how you would handle it, and I think I did the right thing. You've spoken on respect in other videos, and I've been contemplating what you've said. This is a very timely video for me, considering how things at work went this week. Thanks again. Glad to have found you and Mama, you're good people. You help to remind me of the values that my parents taught me growing up.
Man….big RESPECT to You Sir! Excellent video. A lot of people struggle with self-respect these days because whether it’s talked about or not and said to be fact or not, most of our growth and development has been warped by artificial forms of play (video games, social media, etc) in childhood and artificial forms of food, plus broken family unit dynamics. Many of us were never served home cooked meals and were brought up latch key kids on anti-nutrient rich packaged junk foods and we never learned to relate all that well to the opposite sex amidst mom and dads splitting up. All that being said, we can always have humility, start at square one and work to do the best we can at whatever age and from wherever we are. At 30, I was working as a dishwasher and now 7 years later, I’ve earned a masters degree. I struggled and it was rough but it was worth it and I really appreciate your saying that we should make sure to live up to the standards of respect we’ve set for ourselves because if I live up to that, I feel good and when I live up to that, others respect me. God Bless You!
Great presentation. Your insight into, and understanding of, human nature is deep and vast. Your ability to communicate that understanding you have to others in such a way as to enlighten them and make their life a little better is nothing short of profound. You remind me a great deal of Mark Twain. I mean that. People used to go to theaters to hear Mr. Twain give presentations very similar to your youtube videos. You are on the right path, doing the right thing, keep going.
I am very glad for your current success, Dwayne. The Lord has immensely blessed you with a wonderful wife, seven children and several grandchildren. You have lead a life that has been true to your beliefs and you have respected yourself, your employers with an honest days work, and your fellow man. In turn, you are respected by your peers for your knowledge in your chosen work. $12 per hour isn’t really a wage that allows a man to take care of what he is responsible for. A year ago you couldn’t likely imagine what has happened in your and mama’s life. I know that you have a great faith in God. God has shown you that He has a great faith in you and He is working out His plan for your life now. God Bless you and continue with this work that is blessing many people.
Thank you. 11 years ago ive made a mistake that beens on my mine every muniute of everyday regardless if ive tryed to drowned it with alcohol or not. Your videos have helped me feel human. They have helped me face my demons and face the people ive hurt. Thank you so much sir.
Something I had forgotten about that Dwayne touched on was regarding how respect is earned and not given. Generally, you should have a baseline level of respect for those around you, you could call that manners. Now, too many people forget that when you don’t give someone that baseline respect/ have manners, you will get what you give. Too many times I’ve seen someone not give that respect and be totally upset when they are disrespected and it was a direct reflection on how they treated someone else. Now, you will never earn respect if you don’t give a little. Earned respect is a two way street that takes effort and time to build. Give a little respect to people in yo ur daily interactions and you’ll be blown away by how much people are willing to go out of their way for you that are complete strangers. A little goes a long way and I’m glad my father taught me that.
Dwayne- I live in far northeast Minnesota- 56 years old self employed contractor- fortunately in a well designed respectful environment- fortunate because there are a good mix of white and blue collar folks to work for, who realize respect is the basis for all we depend upon in each other- the other nite I met two retired blue collar fellows who knew my customer, and treated us like I know you treat your contacts- it’s always the start of something great when that happens- but I know that much of the world doesn’t experience this often enough- thank you for the great talk- we need more folks like yourselves doing great work-Godspeed
I think the point you made about how disrespecting your Wife being the same as disrespecting yourself works very well for the broader aspect of respecting fellow Man. While the unity between you and your partner are stronger than between you and any old stranger, it is worth noting that you are also bound to this stranger in your humanity. We cannot exist without our environment, we are part of it. If we choose to help a stranger we choose to help ourselves for you both make up the bigger picture of which we all consist. Same thing applies for respect. Thanks for making these Videos, your perspective is much appreciated!
When someone that you trust says that they are going to do something and then doesn't do it even after saying 3 time's that they were good for their word. That's disrespect! Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no. Great talk brother! I learned a hard lesson from one who I thought that was a good friend but turned out to be dishonest. Hold your friends close so long as they are a real friend!
Fascinating breakdown/analysis. Looking again and not assuming the worst in people. I love it, speaking nothing but facts as usual! Keep up the great work!
So good!! If you respect yourself, your character/attitude/actions create connection ~ it’s what Our Creator intended. We are a sinful bunch and won’t get it perfectly but self respect is self love 💞 and will make this world a far better place ✨🌎🕊
My father is a split image of the 70 year old you described. Its REALLY DIFFICULT a lot of the time to deal with, but restraint is key! Thanks for the advice!!
Yes! I'm still young and in my twenties but I've noticed the problem with definitions, definitely! I love the definition of respect you gave us, people today just don't have the respect. They don't know the shame either. I learned to respect myself and others but people usually only learn to expect the respect, not to give it.
I'm a female in my late 20's and appreciate your videos. It didn't even cross my mind that you might be speaking more towards a male audience. So just keep being you. You are genuine and have morals. That's all a good leader/teacher needs, honestly. You've got this country girl listening and taking your advice. And yes, women are the same when it comes to respect. Except it's done more often behind our backs. Women friendships are very very fickle these days.
Men can’t be friends with a woman
that's true i see so many women stabbing each other in the back, always drama to be had lol
People with mutral respect will understand that yeah it is understandable that he has a noto towards male audiences. But it shouldn't matter male nor female should be bias in these videos. Advice is advice to anyone who is open to it and understand it.
Keep smashing the game girl ❤
I am also a female in my late 20s and find you and momma very helpful with the videos you’re posting. Such a great source of guidance✨
13:40 One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was “Don’t be that guy who got divorced 5 times and goes around town saying all his ex wives are crazy.” Denial is not just a river in Egypt 😂
Word
Sounds like my father
Mom taught me "respect is earned. Give everyone a teaspoon of it, and, based on how they act, see if you should give them another teaspoon."
Thanks mom.
❤Your Mom sounds a lot like mine.
Thanks, Moms!
That is an awesome thought!
As kids we were focusing on beeing a servant (like jesus) to everyone. That's what my mom lived.
That's not bad of itself, but the consequence was getting soft, beeing an easy target for manipulation and shutting down the own opinion. In the end theres a lot of frustration and selfdoubt.
Giving yourself up to God, thats alright (I'm no christian myself but i ghet the concept). Giving yourself up to another human beeing, thats just wrong. For both parties, especially if its your own kids. (Moma talks about that in her channel)
So knowing the laws of respect, knowing how to give and to recieve it, what it implies and what it excludes, is absolutely essential for beeing a complete human beeing.
I'm really greatful for this channel to help me collect the wisdom i was missing out.
Cheers to your Mom!
She had that down.
Have a good day from switzerland

I've seen too many narcissists in my life and they prey off people who give out respect like candy because they know how foolish it is, how easy it is to take advantage of due to the naive nature of it.
Give out respect at your own peril. And one other thing I hear from time to time is the misconstrued idea that respect is equal to common decency. It is not.
"The good four. Honest with ourselves and with whatever is friend to us; courageous toward the enemy; generous toward the vanquished; polite-always. That is how the four cardinal virtues want us." Nietzsche
Conduct yourself with politeness, hold your temper, refuse to be manipulated into acting against your will, be decent to those who deserve it. But give respect out at your own peril. If you respect everyone, you either live among paragons of humankind because they all deserve veneration, or more likely you set the bar to low and venerate the unvenerable, and it's undeserving and cheapens true greatness. When you withhold respect it makes it rare, and rarity is where true value lies. Have decency, withhold the respect.
Word almost quit my dishwashing job at the ski area... Yeah I know a dish wash job....another story... So the manager was riding my ass over eating food and the proper procedures I was NOT following. So I went the fuck off of sorts.... I blew up on his manager ass.. let him know you do NOT speak to me like that...which led me into the conversation of my manager manipulating his words to get me off this piece of equipment I was sitting on by saying it's a beautiful day out why don't you sit outside and eat.... Well cuz I am an old ass motherfucker who has the ability to think for one's self. I sad no I am good right here. He proceeds to tell me the value of the piece of equipment I was sitting on and asked me to get off of it.... Well I"ll tell you what it would have been easier to say hey could you not sit on that steamer.. instead of it's a nice day outside go eat out there.... Banger headache was not sitting outside in the bright light at 10000 ft... What a cocksucker.
“Show respect to people who don't even deserve it; not as a reflection of their character, but as a reflection of yours.” - Dave Willis
So true. One of my closest friends who was just killed in an automobile accident recently, gained the respect of so many people through this platform that it was almost comical, and unbelievable. And he gained a lot of that respect because he even respected his biggest haters. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but he was a fairly popular man on RUclips. And when you become noticed on RUclips, you just develop haters naturally, it’s the nature of the beast. But because my friend was so kind and respectful to EVERYONE, including the haters, that set him apart from the rest, a true one of a kind man. Sometimes, it really does seem that the best are always the first to leave this earth before the bad.

I'm a 46 year old mum of three...I live in New Zealand. Last Tuesday night I prayed that God would somehow bring a mentor for my 26 year old son.
The next day he sent me one of your videos...he said you were really having an impact on his life.
Now I'm also listening.
God works in mysterious ways and I just wanted to let you know what you are doing is having a profound effect. Our son's are desperate for real kind hearted men...thank you for being one of these men❤️

Another excellent video. My father told me, and I have told my sons, not to worry if some people disrespect you as long as you are a good person, live right and treat others with respect. As my dad told me, “Lions don’t care about the opinions of sheep.” Congrats on the channel. You earned it.
I agree with you. Treat people the way you want to be treated. Talk to people the way you want to be talked to. And respect is earned not given. Be a wolf among sheep.
@@chefgiovanni If that's how you see it, then it's rather clear that the point of the video does not apply to your views.
Amen brother.
I always had trouble with verses in the bible that call for us to be meek. However I’ve learned that meekness doesn’t mean weak or a that you’re a push over. It comes from the it comes from the Greek “Prautes” which translates to decided strength of disciplined calmness. It’s having the power to wield a sword when needed, but knowing when to keep it sheathed.
Praus
@ it’s the same word bro. Prautes (πραΰτης) is just derived from the Greek adjective πραΰς (praus), meaning "gentle" or "meek."
@@cameronmnelsonkeep on keeping on with the word studies! Anyway I think of "meek" as a quality of admitting to oneself that they don't have All the answers, so with that they become coachable, and so then you are meek or coachable realizing you don't have All the answers.
I’m a female over 50 that never had a father figure.
If I were to have had one, I feel that you would have provided amazing life lessons that may have allowed me to avoid some of the pitfalls of life; dealing with people, caring for myself and those I am responsible for.
You provide so many life lessons that I appreciate so very much.
So, I’m a grateful girl, sitting at your feet, listening contently - learning and filled with gratitude.
Thank you for your thoughts and advice.
I can honestly say my 85 year father raised me to be respectful and I thank God for that. And he has a high standard for being honorable. And I raised my son the same, it must be taught and demonstrated. Great video and topic!

Times are tough but there will be well better times ahead 🙏🏼
Your more than a conquer
my life sucked at 16 dude im 17 now and things have shifted so much im a much better person just shows things can change so fast so i wouldnt worry too much my friend i reckon youll be ok just gotta be tough
Same here man, I just keep doing the wrong thing. Or saying the wrong thing. I am trying to better myself these videos are helping me to do that
@Raindrop2000 life and death is in our tongues. Choose life that you may live and keep Yahs(Gods) commandments.
I'm a 38 year old man with a wife and two children one 10 year old boy and a 3 year old girl. We live in Southern Illinois. I lost my dad a couple years back an he was my best friend. Any problem I had I could call him and he had a answer for or could fix. When it was his time it left a hole in me. We would sit in the early mornings an have discussions over the things that were happening and he always found a way to make things better. I found your channel a couple weeks ago and started watching your videos. I found myself getting up early to get coffee an go to the garage to watch your videos. It gives me a sense of how my father was an the talks we had. It's not a replacement for him but it reminds me who he was an who he made me. What your doing helps an sometimes even grow men can get lost an need a hand in life. A small talk can go a long way.....thank you
Some of the best people are from Southern Illinois, my grandparents who raised me were from there. I'm trying to get there now.
Beautifully put 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
This genuinely made me smile; I’m happy for you.
Amen. I whole-heartedly agree with your sense of gratitude for this man and the time he has taken to show his respect for us as a "younger generation".
What a wonderful tribute to your father!
The toughest thing to do sometimes is to hold your tongue. Great talk, great reminder to respect yourself first.

What an amazing quote ❤
@Miguel Silva Even an ant can teach you , if you are not an idiot.
Sounds like Marcus Aurelius.
To add to workplace respect and disrespect. Make sure it’s ACTUAL disrespect you’re receiving and not playful ribbing. I got “picked on” a lot at work. My boss says to me, “we mess with you cause we like you. If we didn’t say a word to you, that’s when you know there’s a problem.” Us guys are just like that. However if it’s blatant with no smiles and winks afterwords, then it’s real bullying. Or if you’re still confused, don’t be afraid to ask the person outright (peacefully of course).
From what I have experienced, if guys start giving you a hard time and you just laugh it off, they will usually leave you alone. But if they can tell that they have gotten to you, they won't stop
Agree w you and want to add that I used to take offense and seek pity or lash out in anger. Now I actually enjoy being brunt of jokes bc it keeps the attention off others who might not be able to handle it, plus it gives me chances to be witty back at them. It's all fun and games if everyone is laughing. This world is too dark to be serious all the time
@@Ben-cz5yq but yea if bullies keep bulling it up, they turn want to be workers into disgruntled time bombs. Nothing good comes from bullying

Well said Dwayne. I am 72 and have been a lot of places and have worked with a lot of people. One thing that I learned at a young age was that it takes time and hard work to earn someone’s respect. It is not something that you are automatically given. On the other hand, it takes almost nothing to loose that respect that you worked so hard to earn. I continue to send your words of wisdom to my kids and grandkids. Hopefully some of your advice will sink in and make them better examples and citizens in this world that we live.
I agree
Dewayne, I'm 72, Been through alot in this life. From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. Its been just a few months ago I found your channel. I've enjoyed every video I've seen. I find that your advice holds true for all human beings. I relate to everything I've heard you say. Thank you so much, it's so nice to know there's still a few that follow the old ways that we were brought up with.
You and Deanna are very special individuals.
What a breath of fresh air. Thank you, sir, please keep it up. Your messages land because they're true, but especially because you care.
Funny how making a simple video turns into helping people like you never imagined! 💪🇺🇸💯. Good for you brother and momma! This country needs a lot of help remembering where it came from and who it is!!!!👀
Mind if I ask what you meant by that?
21 year old girl here, completely agree with everything you've said. I truly love coming to your channel to seek this fatherly advise/wisdom. thank you for what you do.
This man is a National Treasure
One of my favorite break downs of any word is Responsibility... Given my ability what is my response, sounds simple but with proper understanding is not simple. It is very direct and complicated. It is truly HOW we choose to live our lives given that one word. We should embrace Responsibility and understand more of it, more of what our own responsibility is. There's great power and pride to be earned in knowing this and choosing to take it on. Society today is always encouraging us to take on less and less responsibility, but I'll tell y'all, go take on more of it and challenge yourselves, you'll surely grow stonger when you do.
As a 25 year old dude, I really appreciate this type of content. I recently found you and I look forward to your future wisdom.
Sir, I was raised back in a day. When if your neighbors addressed you, you started your sentence with ma’am, and finished it with ma’am you held doors open for folks, and you just had a lot more common courtesy. I appreciate your videos, your calm, rational thoughts, and your pleasurable eloquent presentation of words is quite refreshing to say the least. I enjoy your videos my friend. Have a nice day. Thanks for sharing.
i agrtee. Common courtesy isn't common anymore.
OMG, Dwayne... man... you're a good man... thanks from the bottom of my heart, ONE MORE TIME, man... Thanks from Amsterdam. 🤝
12:59 I'm not sure where I heard it, but I have a similar saying:
If one person calls you a horse, you tell them to F off
If a second person calls you a horse, you ignore them
If a third person calls you a horse, you best get yourself a saddle as you might be a horse.
Love your videos man, super kind message with a great heart.
I’m very grateful for this channel, and congratulations on your well-deserved success. You’re good people, sometimes I forget that those still exist, since I grew up in the inner city life.
Cheers
I lost my father when I was 15, i'm nearly 35 now, I wish he were around a lot longer to help me out with things, but he was a Vietnam veteran infantry tunnel rat, he lived through some crazy shit and died early at 58. He protected and loved his family till the end though, but never truly forged fatherly values to hand down, your videos help me out a lot mate, thank you.
I feel you. I lost mine when I was 12.
My dad passed when I was 11. It was hard for me especially seeing other boys with their dads 😥
Mine left this world at 50 my age was 15 also. Be strong and encourage thyself. Be of good cheer. 👍 you are more than a conquer. HaleluYah

@@dustychayeh4878 Thanks mate, sure he left us early but he made a huge impact on everyone that came across him. He'd be proud of what i've done with my life I know that for sure.
I'm a single woman who recently discovered your wife's channel and through hers, I found yours. I gotta tell you, I've never heard such a great definition and presentation (explanation) of respect. I appreciate you and your wife and all you're sharing. God bless you!
Thank you so! Your poem is beautiful. Minister Kevin L.A Ewing is strong in the word of Elohiym and taught me to pray the scriptures something I didn't know but yes! How bout psalm 103 v20?
Just want to say that I am a woman in my early 40s and have been watching your videos for about a year now and have never ever felt “excluded” by your manner of speaking. I have gained so much valuable insight from your videos about horses and videos about life. Thank you for making this channel and don’t change a thing!! You are giving people so much help and hope!
SO WISE.
Wisdom like this is more valuable than gold these days
I read an Old Testament scripture the other day that said, “stand in the presence of the aged”. (Can you imagine young people today standing up when a very old person comes into the room…?). How far we have drifted…!
We have lost a lot of demonstrations of respect. Yet, many guys, and girls, are ready to fight saying he or she “dissed me”. It wouldn’t bother you one BIT if you respected yourself…!!!
Great points Dwayne…! You’re the MAN…!
Thanks Dwayne! love your wisdom
Oh my God! I like this video so much ! Your voice is so warm that makes me feel like talking to an eld family member ! But you know what? I don’t have any elder like you. I’m a Chinese when I was young , including my teachers and my parents had never taught me about respecting myself . I have been shocked by the words that come out from your mouth . The words impact me, they worked ! So I can find a kind of feeling that if I do respect myself on my own , than I don’t need other’s . I don’t give a shiiit about others. Thank you old man ! Thank you so much ! I love you. 😂😂😂
I found this guy a few days back, and wow….I run to every new video now. He’s like Arthur Morgan in real life, and he really speaks the truth about being a good man. Appreciate the words of wisdom.
Loved this one thank you for sharing your power with the world.
18:31 this was what it was for me it hurt me inside not to respect myself and my own actions I had to change for me to realize once I had self respect I didn’t much need the respect and others and actually if you focus on respecting yourself the respect of others will follow!!!
I LOVE the Justified analogy. Brilliant channel. Greetings and salutations from Northern Ireland.
Greetings, Dwaine (sorry for the spelling) and the team! I saw your video in my recommended feed after a breakup and I started watching them one at a time and I got hooked. Thanks so much for your time invested in sharing these important topics. I live in the opposite side of the globe, a small country of Kyrgyzstan. We have a great deal of horses here and I'll be paying more attention to this whole culture and might even take a lesson or two on riding, but more than everything I'm thankful for your warmth, calmness and encouragement to us, who really need to clean up our corner of the planet. Peace, Russ.
This is great! Thank you!
Respect is given after observing people of competence. I finnally understand why nobody used to respect me and now i know how to fix it. Thanks for this video sir.
They respect me
This video is a true treasure. God bless you Sir for sharing your wisdom.
This is the attitude I try to take when dealing with disrespectful people: If I am to be insulted; I must first value your opinion.
I must say that I have watched many of your videos and at first I was offish of anyone saying this is how it is , but over time you prove that you were not just talking but you where thoughtful and thinking and doing your best to think clearly in a muddy world and pass those thoughts along thank you! I am a little slow but I do get there in time with honest thoughts and direction.
Glad to see ya. Y’all be safe on your trip. Always appreciate you and your wisdom of life and the synergy with it. I need all the help I can get. Your definition of respect hits home with me and now I can look at respect in another way now. Thank you
I hear you speaking to me in many aspects. I am 54 and female. You think the way my husband and I think. Like all people should.
Keep creating content! Love your vibe and wisdom. These videos are beyond important. Older more mature guys usually don’t talk, they just do. It’s good to hear you kicking knowledge that can really change someone a generation of lives ❤
I stumbled on to your videos and have found them very informative I'm not a young man you speak of but, one thing I was taught I can learn something from everyone, I follow the creator and the red road, thank you for your teachings. Much respect
Thats such a great story to hear. When people disrespect me like that old man did you, most times I sit there quiet until they’re done and go on my way. Sometimes though I would look back and think perhaps I should’ve done something back, but you put it eloquently “let him disrespect himself” This gives me more confidence in taking the high road and not always retaliating when ppl come at me. Of course if ppl disrespect my fiance the gloves come off
Thank you for speaking with us sir
I hope your trip goes good. I pray they have eyes to see and ears to hear. You offer good "common sense" advice and it is truly appreciated. God bless!
Thank you so much Dwayne, I really appreciate your wisdom and effort to make our lives better.
You and your wife make great videos for me and my wife to listen (me 26, my wife 29) thank you for your words of wisdom and life advice. Keep em coming Dwayne.❤️
My Wife and my Grandmother are the 2 most greatest humans in my life. Thank you mister
Hey Sir. Just wanted to thank you for the time you spend on these videos and all the help you give both on horsemanship and humanity. You are very much appreciated. God bless you and your family for all you do.
😃👍Thanks for the video.
You are so right.
I see it in the same way in my little bubble
Agree completely - all aspects of this conversation! I'm 58- been married 34 years next week- new subscriber to your channel and joined Mama's channel today too!
34 years - early congratulations, that's impressive
Rite on sir I support you. I'm 37 been threw alot, and I wish ppl would respect my privacy and respect my choice of being alone cause I found true happiness from being by myself and sober for 8 years off alcohol. But I have teens and ppl my age act like children and being disrespectful around me everyday. And I just want to be left alone, and I want ppl to mind there own business and worry about themselves and not what I'm doing. But I try to keep my mouth shut the best I can but sometimes the disrespect is soo constant I have to open my mouth and disrespectf them right back just the way I am. May not be right but I'm not gonna let someone keep disrespecting me and get away with it. And I respect all my elders and I try to always show respect to ppl that don't deserve it, maybe that's wrong but I like to see ppl change for the good and to help themselves. And with today's youth they think everything's a dam joke and take nothing seriously and laugh at tragedys and make fun of disabilities make fun of religious ppl. And I think all of us would be better off if those kinds of ppl just kept there mouth shut and mind there own business. And I know why they keep disrespecting me everyday, there "trying" to make me depress soo I go back to drugs and alcohol but that ain't gonna happen been clean for soo long not gonna happen. When I was 25 I quit pain pills and I haven't went back to that 12 years off that. That was the worst drug I got hooked too, if I couldn't get it off the street I had dentist pull out good teeth just soo I can get some. 12 years ago it was easy to get it that way. I did that like 7 times. Cause I didn't plan to live past 25 but I got clean and found a reason to live. I was 90 pounds back then, taking 16 vicodines in one hour. I even lived threw 5 oxy 80s and a half of a half gallon of vodka in me. Only reason I survived that was my tolerance was soo high I could handle it. I quit drinking when I was 29 now I'm 37 been working out alot for the last 5 years cause I found that was my passion and I made that my obsession. Cause that help me kept sober, and all my friends I use to have they all stop talking to me cause I got sober I think but I really don't care cause they still drink everyday and I guess they were never friends in the first place. 8 years I had no one to really vent too I spent 8 holidays 8 birthdays alone and the first couple years being sober and alone was hard but I got use to it and I found a way to still be happy and poor at the same time. Now that was hard to learn. I just started watching your videos and I like your knowledge I always love to learn things I don't know. I'm gonna keep watching sir keep up the good work cause I can tell you like to help ppl too and it's a great feeling when you know you helped someone out of darkness.
Love your words..god bless!
Outstanding. Much love, life and Light to you and yours
Your right on the money Dwaine. The somewhat lost art of “ loving your neighbor“ Respect.
Great lecture, Sir
Thank you 🙏🏻
Good one! Im from MS living in Colorado for 8 years and sometimes I think people take our niceness and respect for weakness. You are the man! Im almost 36 and I tell my wife I want to be just like you when I grow up. She says I sure hope so. Hahaha
Thank you for sharing you'r opignion.
You remind me a lot of my father. From the way you speak, to your mannerisms. He passed away in January. I'm glad I found you, it's helped being able to listen to you.
Have a wonderful Christmas
Man... Sorry for your loss, that must be rough. Good spirits to you.
Your more than a conquer
Great to hear your kind and insightful words
Sending love and respect from Ingram Tx! You know the area sir!!
Thank you ! For taking time too make these videos . These are the types of conversations I crave when I go too a pipe shop unfortunately it’s usually nothing you can glean any substance or value from usually enjoy my pipe or cigars in silence but other times if not at the briery pipe shop close too home I’ll smoke along with you or one of the other men NW pipe smoker is also a favorite and a few others . I am of the opinion that Respect is a fine line . Observing someone’s discomfort ,disposition in a situation like with the old man he’s having a bad day or just didn’t like the way you done things etc but your basic instinct human reaction sets in first so you wanna throw hands then you thought about self respect and still maintained a mindset toward respecting your elder. This stuck out because I’ve been there in a similar situation.
Thank you, sir.
Thanks Duane amazing video👍👍👍
Dewayne, thank you for this video. I 34m, have been being tested at work, in regards to respect lately. Something came up between myself and another gentleman (much older than myself), yesterday, on the job. I thought of you and how you would handle it, and I think I did the right thing. You've spoken on respect in other videos, and I've been contemplating what you've said. This is a very timely video for me, considering how things at work went this week. Thanks again. Glad to have found you and Mama, you're good people. You help to remind me of the values that my parents taught me growing up.
I Agree with everything you just said... Dwayne...thank you for that chat...
Man….big RESPECT to You Sir! Excellent video.
A lot of people struggle with self-respect these days because whether it’s talked about or not and said to be fact or not, most of our growth and development has been warped by artificial forms of play (video games, social media, etc) in childhood and artificial forms of food, plus broken family unit dynamics. Many of us were never served home cooked meals and were brought up latch key kids on anti-nutrient rich packaged junk foods and we never learned to relate all that well to the opposite sex amidst mom and dads splitting up.
All that being said, we can always have humility, start at square one and work to do the best we can at whatever age and from wherever we are.
At 30, I was working as a dishwasher and now 7 years later, I’ve earned a masters degree. I struggled and it was rough but it was worth it and I really appreciate your saying that we should make sure to live up to the standards of respect we’ve set for ourselves because if I live up to that, I feel good and when I live up to that, others respect me.
God Bless You!
Congrats on your degree!
This was the video I needed to see today. Thank you.
Great presentation. Your insight into, and understanding of, human nature is deep and vast. Your ability to communicate that understanding you have to others in such a way as to enlighten them and make their life a little better is nothing short of profound. You remind me a great deal of Mark Twain. I mean that. People used to go to theaters to hear Mr. Twain give presentations very similar to your youtube videos. You are on the right path, doing the right thing, keep going.
Once again another Great life lesson my friend. Thanks for posting!
this man is truly amazing. I dont even comment on youtube videos. I've learned more from this guy than my own father
Thank you Sir! Thank you with respect.
I am very glad for your current success, Dwayne. The Lord has immensely blessed you with a wonderful wife, seven children and several grandchildren. You have lead a life that has been true to your beliefs and you have respected yourself, your employers with an honest days work, and your fellow man. In turn, you are respected by your peers for your knowledge in your chosen work.
$12 per hour isn’t really a wage that allows a man to take care of what he is responsible for. A year ago you couldn’t likely imagine what has happened in your and mama’s life. I know that you have a great faith in God. God has shown you that He has a great faith in you and He is working out His plan for your life now. God Bless you and continue with this work that is blessing many people.
Thank you. 11 years ago ive made a mistake that beens on my mine every muniute of everyday regardless if ive tryed to drowned it with alcohol or not. Your videos have helped me feel human. They have helped me face my demons and face the people ive hurt.
Thank you so much sir.
Something I had forgotten about that Dwayne touched on was regarding how respect is earned and not given. Generally, you should have a baseline level of respect for those around you, you could call that manners. Now, too many people forget that when you don’t give someone that baseline respect/ have manners, you will get what you give. Too many times I’ve seen someone not give that respect and be totally upset when they are disrespected and it was a direct reflection on how they treated someone else. Now, you will never earn respect if you don’t give a little. Earned respect is a two way street that takes effort and time to build. Give a little respect to people in yo ur daily interactions and you’ll be blown away by how much people are willing to go out of their way for you that are complete strangers. A little goes a long way and I’m glad my father taught me that.
Dwayne- I live in far northeast Minnesota- 56 years old self employed contractor- fortunately in a well designed respectful environment- fortunate because there are a good mix of white and blue collar folks to work for, who realize respect is the basis for all we depend upon in each other- the other nite I met two retired blue collar fellows who knew my customer, and treated us like I know you treat your contacts- it’s always the start of something great when that happens- but I know that much of the world doesn’t experience this often enough- thank you for the great talk- we need more folks like yourselves doing great work-Godspeed
I think the point you made about how disrespecting your Wife being the same as disrespecting yourself works very well for the broader aspect of respecting fellow Man.
While the unity between you and your partner are stronger than between you and any old stranger, it is worth noting that you are also bound to this stranger in your humanity. We cannot exist without our environment, we are part of it. If we choose to help a stranger we choose to help ourselves for you both make up the bigger picture of which we all consist. Same thing applies for respect.
Thanks for making these Videos, your perspective is much appreciated!
Safe travels love ya both!!!!❤❤❤
When someone that you trust says that they are going to do something and then doesn't do it even after saying 3 time's that they were good for their word. That's disrespect! Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no. Great talk brother! I learned a hard lesson from one who I thought that was a good friend but turned out to be dishonest. Hold your friends close so long as they are a real friend!
Love the wisdom you speak sir! 💯⛪️🙏🏾 from Sacramento , ca. guess I found your channel for a reason.
Fascinating breakdown/analysis. Looking again and not assuming the worst in people. I love it, speaking nothing but facts as usual! Keep up the great work!
Yep ; GOD bless youall from old New Orleans 😇
"Respect is not easily come by"
Adequate reminder 🙏🏿
glad i found this channel not only is it relaxing but i can learn a lesson or two
So good!!
If you respect yourself, your character/attitude/actions create connection ~ it’s what Our Creator intended.
We are a sinful bunch and won’t get it perfectly but self respect is self love 💞 and will make this world a far better place ✨🌎🕊
I'm a woman who has been therally enjoying every singles video of yours that I've watched so far. Thank you.
My father is a split image of the 70 year old you described. Its REALLY DIFFICULT a lot of the time to deal with, but restraint is key! Thanks for the advice!!
Justified- by the Great Elmore Leonard...loved that show!!
Yes! I'm still young and in my twenties but I've noticed the problem with definitions, definitely! I love the definition of respect you gave us, people today just don't have the respect. They don't know the shame either. I learned to respect myself and others but people usually only learn to expect the respect, not to give it.
Love ya and thanks for adding to rumble
