My grandparents were married over 75 years and my grandfather always said he would live long enough to not leave grandma alone. We used to laugh, because he had a variety of health issues that landed him in the VA multiple times for long periods of time. But that aside, they both lived into their 90s and eventually ended up in a care facility together. My grandfather had lost much of his vision by that time and one day a nurse came in to tell him that grandma had passed away quietly. He didn't say anything, closed his eyes and fell asleep, denying food, water and his medicine. Three days later he passed as well. He kept his promise.
Thank you for sharing such an inspiring story. Sounds sad on surface, but filled with joy, love, inspiration, hope. Those were the kind of bonds that society today is built on and the reason we are still standing tall. But one can not help but wander how much of that most basic level bonds remain nowadays, and what will the future society will be like?
*_I HAVE A FRIEND WHO RUSHES INTO RELATIONSHIPS WITH WOMEN BECAUSE HE HATES BEING ALONE AND COMING HOME TO AN EMPTY PLACE. BUT WHENEVER HE IS IN A RELATIONSHIP, HE'S BUGGING ME TO HANG OUT BECAUSE HE WANTS TO GET AWAY FROM HIS G/F._* *_FIGURE THAT ONE OUT._*
He’s co dependent and needs the validation of being in a relationship. I knew a guy in highschool who grew up poor and overall just constantly went for low tier women. He texts all day like a chick.
I work for myself and I would rather live under a bridge than made to work with other people again. With that said I would love the find the right woman to be with, but it has to be the right women with a good heart. I'd rather be single than being with a narcissist woman who emotionally abuses her partner.
So true this is why it's good to setup boundaries with people. So if they constantly do things like lie, cheat, never take responsibility for their actions, play evil mind games on you, it clearly weeds them out as a bad person, psychopath, gaslighter, narcissist, and etc. And they clearly have no respect for you and clearly in your life to destroy it and use you for their own needs and manipulation
You gotta protect your mental health man. Remember this life is just one big head game and the faster you learn to master the head game. Your no longer gonna be played by the head games. Life or people doesn't really attack you physically they attack you psychologically. So you gotta armor plate your mind. I'm 25 now and I wish someone told me this in my teens. Life is not so physically draining it drains you mentally. No wonder so many people throw in the towel and commit suicide. They let people and life get the best of them mentally. Life and people can be a puppet master and control you if you let them
I hear you on the latter part of your comment. You know, it is a very rare woman, particularly here in the West, that realizes that the guy who treats his wife/girlfriend like a queen, is actually best guy they could ever get, because sadly too many people, both men and women, view kindness as weakness. But, it's okay. The great Bruce Lee once said: "Never regret being kind to the wrong person. Your behavior says everything about you, and their behavior says everything about them." And it's true. If you show someone kindness, and they turn around and abuse it, that is not a reflection of some defect of character on your part, but rather of theirs. So when that happens, you accept it and walk away, and dont put yourself in a position again where your kindness can be abused or taken advantage of, because if you do, then that is on you, because you knew how that story would end, based on past experience, but decided to go and do it anyway.
There was a time, in my life; to which effect, I had this idea to walk/hitchhike across America. Something about being out there in the desert or the fields of the midwest, made me who I was today. Then, I met a girl in Wisconsin, and hell broke loose. Now I'm a single dad, not sure if I should jump into the dating game just yet. Being with that woman almost made me forget who I was. How silly would it be to die, and not be who you want to be because you let someone else's misery erase part of who you are. That solitude though, taught me many things. There were times I was lonely, and those times I pursued someone usually got me in trouble. in fact, about 90% of the time. How I cherish that wisdom though.

I’m a 59 year old Christian man currently going through a divorce. I have the ability to be alone, I trust Christ through this, alone or otherwise. Your content seems interesting.
After surviving a divorce from a 20 yr marriage....It took a while discovering who I really am, but I am now, happy and at peace being alone. It has been almost 5 years since the divorce and I have not dated, nor plan to. I believe marriage is for life...better or for worse..until death...and my happiness, moving forward will not depend on anyone but my Lord and Savior
The weirdest thing is, before my divorce, I truly felt alone. Even during serious relationships. This was my pass, enjoying myself over a decade ago. Serenity is my only goal.
I never thought I would be able to be alone. I have been alone for up to six to seven months now I know it doesn't seem like much but I've always got myself into relationships. I told myself I'm going to learn to be alone and see what it's like. I have no regrets I'm closer to my Lord. figuring myself out. I have never been happier.
Facts I been in relationships all throughout high school and college and I’ll tell ya this single life is way better than expected. The amount of freedom I have now I wouldn’t trade it for the world
Soon I will be going solo again. Going no contact from narcissistic people. I'll be "alone" but with Jesus Christ in my heart always. I know it won't be easy, but it is necessary. I pray for all in a similar journey.
I am an autistic schizophrenic. I have no friends, I walked away from narcissistic relatives, and I decided not to pursue relationships anymore as I've no time for the dramas, mindgames and strategies, which I don't understand anyway. I have noone to arrange my funeral when I die, and I'm sure that noone will come to the service. Aside from that everything's great. (As you can see I have retained my sense of humour). Life is simple and peaceful, I don't have to walk on eggshells anymore, I don't have to accommodate anyone and I'm not afraid of dying alone or even having a grave for my body. I'm fine as I am, I've never been so much at peace.
Who cares when you're dead you're dead and you won't feel, see or hear anything anymore that's what I think of it, I couldn't care less what happens to my body when I die, let them figure it out... I don't even have an insurance for my funeral, why would I, they can't take my money from me if I'm dead so I'm keeping it for myself when I live.
George, you nailed the comments about sex with my relationship. We have been married 10 years and she has not wanted to sex from the very beginning. We waited until marriage because of “our faith” which now seems like a con. There are months in between interactions and now I have given up on trying to fix it. I am currently working on ending the relationship and moving on.
Ryan finish it buddy. I’m newly divorced also in a more or less sexless marriage. It was tough because we have two sons together, but the reality was I wasn’t happy. I lived in denial for a good few years until I confronted her and she agreed our marriage was gone. We agreed to divorce and it was the best thing I ever did. My kids stop at my place every other weekend, so I get my own weekends, I’ve brought a motorbike, something my ex would never let me do, and I live life for me. Our kids are happier as they now have two homes, not one. And I have the freedom to do what the f#*k I like. Buddy bite the bullet, be a man and end your marriage. It will be tough at first, but i guarantee you, you’ll be happier.
"It's better to save yourself than to save the marriage..." That's sage advice, George. That wisdom is painfully sinking in for me after 10 years of marital self-sacrifice and another 10 years of post-divorce fall-out. It isn't at all worth it.
“Being alone”… Recently I had a revelation, that solitude is like a drug., the more solitude, the happier I become and then after awhile I feel kinda shitty, and then I get a dose of people and then I want more solitude.
My old roommate was afraid of living alone after I moved out to get married but thats because his health is poor. Bad heart and very forgetful. But once he really engaged and learned to be more self sufficient, he's actually done very well. I've seen him grow into his comfort with living alone. He knows he can always get another roommate but now I don't think he feels he needs one. 👍👍👍
I am currently alone and facing the prospect of living alone after 15 years of marriage. Trying to figure out how I do it without well being lonely. I'm 40. How do you stay busy?
I just want to say thank you for the sanity clarity and reason. This was 18 minutes of insight, wisdom, reflection and projection. I’ve just discovered your Chanel and wish I had done so sooner. Really appreciated this.
My wife died four years ago married 15 years she was a absolute saint.... she a saint she was a saint ...now I want to be alone, .. I am not giving up all the peace and tranquility it that I have in my home for nothing I don't care what she looks like ..... how much money she's... got no way.....
What you said about learning to sell is learning to live is accurate. I’ve been in wholesale for ten years and at the start of that time I struggled to speak to these strangers clearly, to the point they didn’t understand me. I felt like I’d been thrown into the social deep end and luckily I chose to learn to swim. By learning to convincingly talk praise regarding our products I learned to overcome my anti-social demons. I learned I have the right to talk like I do now. I can confidently say I’m a completely different person now, and damn proud of it.
One morning, I found myself having coffee with Jewish fellow who is also a Mohel. A Mohel is a Jewish man versed in the Jewish Laws and considered an expert in performing the circumcision ceremony commonly called the Bris, 8 days after a male child is born. I told him he was the first Mohel I'd ever met and that up until then my total knowledge of his tradition stemmed from an episode of Seinfeld. When our conversation ended he offered to pay for our coffees and pulled a small leather change purse from his jacket pocket. I'd never seen anything quite like it and he notice my attention and said, "I had this made from some of the foreskins I'd saved from my first dozen or so Brises. " "Really?", I asked. "Yea. The skins are quite durable. And the nice thing about it is when I have to go on a trip out of town, I just give it a few rubs. And it turns into a suitcase".
I guess the holy Spirit lead me here today. I'm a single dad, thought about making it work with the mom, but it was destructive. I'm so blessed to get away from all that hellhole. There is something beautiful about alone but lately I've been tempted to find my son a better mother because he comes first over me. So I'm in the no excuse club. My spirit has been crushed lately. Been praying though. There's a potential girl whom I've known for 3 years but that may never happen. Maybe I'm ok with that. My kid will be 1 next month. I can't believe it. I'll be 30 in a few years. I swore I would be in my son's life no matter what, unlike my dad, and my stepdad who recently passed away. Thank you for this video. Praise be to God. I pray for all my brothers out there struggling with their women or issues that God lift them from your souls. Amen. Bless you all.
Wonderful video; clear, honest and deep. Was engaged 3 years ago, and have learned patience and more-so contentment after the imminent heartbreak. Thankful to God everyday for the peace and predictability, but still sadened with occasional lonliness. Singleness is more of an affliction than I realize, and it's never good to pretend I'm always fine. Not a bad living this is: Jesus, quietness and contentment. The future is in the Hands of the only One I need to trust. ❤
Definitely reccomend for anyone especially young guys. If they aren't established in a career and have the income to have their own place than probably not good to be in a relationship. Moreover, knowledge of self is important so you get into less BS in your life. As an introvert self isolation is a good thing. Look at all the great high achieving people. Things that are common amongst them are being alone, single minded etc of attributes to have to be highly successful.
A dead marriage should be baryed and remembered periodically for the good times and the lessons learned. Then you can move on with your life and start being happy again. Love your content George.
"Memento mori ". This life is temporary and whether alone or with someone , eventually we will all die. So what the hell is keeping us from living life to the absolute fullest? Best wishes to all from McAllen Texas. 😀✌
I wouldn’t say I’m pro divorce but my 2nd wife was very materialistic and narcissistic. By the time she finally left me my mother said I tried to save that marriage for 5 years too long. I told her I had been trying to save it for 10. We were married for 17 and she left me when I finally ran out of money after many threats of divorce.
I love being alone. Ive been single for a whole and I really like it. Now for me too get into a relationship the person would have too be someone really special and someone who compliments my lifestyle....
I’m trying to learn to not be afraid to be alone. It’s harder than prison, getting kidnapped and sent to gulag schools, or waking up alone in a hospital bed unable to speak. How do I do it ? 🤷🏾♂️ just gonna keep listening and keep trying again. I hope it works and doesn’t “do” what my brain tells me it will do to me, to be alone …
I watched your video yesterday of how to give a proper shave. It was so relaxing and I like the fact that you are so detail-oriented. You almost seem fatherly to me, in the way you talk. I love it.
Hello my Neighbors ! I should have filed long long time ago. SHe bitched to her friend when I did file. What ? He just wants you to stop drinking ? Yes. Well, stop drinking.....BZZZZZ her friendship was over since it's not what she wanted to hear....
George you are a prophet. Great show man. Thanks for all the wisdom you share. I'm pursuing excellence, and man it works. The beard is growing well and manhood keeps rising up. Your divorce approach have been beneficial for me. God bless you.
I’m coming through to straighten that picture on the wall okay?? Haha hey man, I mean this from my heart, thank you for this message, I’ve really, really been struggling with this and working on this. You came through at the right time.
Revolution, revolution is coming! I totally agree with you George. In a sense Karl Popper was very right also in his book "Open society and its enemies" how society "cycles" throughout history, how everything ends in such a "revolution" even in ancient Greece time, where it all began. Yet again human nature even rejects his information. Now freaking is a fact in almost every country and also here in Europe, my country (Bulgaria). That's why also as you said one of the first and best things to do is remain calm and stoic! I am young (24) but your content really helps. Thank you sir!
I know it's old but I've only recently discovered this gentleman. I appreciate you sir andhabe just come to realize you are friends with another gentleman I follow, Jesse Lee Peterson. I don't know what to say or how I found this channel but I get an energy from you guys that I don't know how to explain. Thanks. Maybe it's hope. Idk.
Morning George, I'm 68 so winning the Powerball wouldn't rock my world as it might have thirty years ago. I've been married since I was 20 except for a five year hiatus from my first divorce. I'm remarried unfortunately I hate being alone never could adjust to it.
No matter where you are in this life journey if you landed on this page the universe has given you a mentor that will give you knowledge/advise/wisdom that will support the change required in your life to get you to a better place no matter where your at. This man is saving lives! I’m so glad I found him over 5 years ago. My life just continues to get better and it’s men like this that have given me great advise/knowledge/life wisdom to get through some tough times and come out the other side shining like the sun! 🙏
When your alone, the human interactions you do have and are particularly truly wonderful, you can opt for quality situations to acquire friends and acquaintances, people of dubious motives or psychopaths are not thrust upon you.
Ok so George says "good motivator". A bit of a digression - motivators are good for the beginning for sure, but motivation and motivators come and go. You need to be persistant at something you want, no matter the motivation level, if you know it's good for you. If you depend solely on motivation, you will fail, I promise you.
@@matty6848 I feel that as I am going through a divorce of 15 years and 25 together... but the reality is it may be the most lain this person has felt in their life.
“Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.” John 16:32
If I won the powerball...I would chuck it all and start my homestead earlier than waiting till I retire. I would get my donkey, chickens and a couple dogs. I would donate the remainder to charity and stay humble.
Is it about being alone or about having a plan? I read a piece of life advice, that suggested that young adults should move out on their own as soon as possible, and when they do move out, live alone, do everything for yourself (no having your mom come over and clean). The idea is, to become an independent adult, but also to start from scratch. Maybe living alone is too lonely, then get a pet or roommate. If you do not know how to cook, you learn. By starting "from scratch" it gets you to build your life from a basic starting point.
New to your channel I have found it both enlightening and humorous. I listen to it like sage advice from a brother. Relatively new to being single after my husband of 25 yrs passed I find it a strange new world out there. I have missed the male perspective on things so you have filled the gap a little bit and it’s age appropriate as we are close to the same age. I am ok alone and continue to adjust. I have learned and done many things I thought I would never be able to do, i.e. work the farm tractors, chain saw, trap and shoot ground hogs and raccoon that have invaded the barn. All just small parts of the much, much grander picture in growing, surviving and into thriving. If I won the lotto I would set up a trust for my family members, hire a small staff to help run and maintain the farm. There would be no financial concern regarding aging in place should I decide to do so. I would build a small she shed in the woods in the back forty and focus on my writing there. Life can throw us detours in one form or another. Sometimes that can be where the best stuff happens if we are open to it. The rhythm of emotions, seasons and reasons in the journey are all gifts and tools to help us along our way. Some let life just happen to them and others engage seizing the moment and opportunities. Now is only for the moment and we have the choice to act and have power over it. The past is gone, the future never promised and may not go as we planned. Love and compassion are the two most powerful words in the world yet nothing unless shared or given. Utilize both and pass them forward. One Season of Many Loss is but one season of many in life. Singularly or in multiples it has no preference or predictability of timing, place or person and spares its wrath on no one. Eclipsed by the shadow, living does not end in the veil. It stands still for a time in the void until a nudge comes from within bringing strength, perspective and courage to move forward. Breathe in and something unexplainable and unexpected occurs, an awakening as living pours back into life. Unfamiliar in many ways there is beauty within it waiting to be explored. Each moment forged tempers the core and in resilience makes a stronger, better and wiser person than before. Loss is but one season of many in life. None can escape it yet all can learn from it.

It all stems from childhood experiences. The trauma, when left un-healed, will continue its cycle with the familiar.

I am currently alone and facing the prospect of living alone after 15 years of marriage. Trying to figure out how I do it without well being lonely. I'm 40. How do you stay busy?
I'm glad I found you, I'm so happy living alone and being alone!!!!!
Sir I just want to thank you. For letting me know I'm not the only one who thinks all of this completely valid and good
I just want to say thank you for the sanity clarity and reason. This was 18 minutes of insight, wisdom, reflection and projection. I’ve just discovered your Chanel and wish I had done so sooner. Really appreciated this.
You got an incredible voice espeically for talking and storytelling. Your laugh as well, 😂😂🤣🤣
My wife died four years ago married 15 years she was a absolute saint.... she a saint she was a saint ...now I want to be alone, .. I am not giving up all the peace and tranquility it that I have in my home for nothing I don't care what she looks like ..... how much money she's... got no way.....
What you said about learning to sell is learning to live is accurate. I’ve been in wholesale for ten years and at the start of that time I struggled to speak to these strangers clearly, to the point they didn’t understand me. I felt like I’d been thrown into the social deep end and luckily I chose to learn to swim. By learning to convincingly talk praise regarding our products I learned to overcome my anti-social demons. I learned I have the right to talk like I do now. I can confidently say I’m a completely different person now, and damn proud of it.
One morning, I found myself having coffee with Jewish fellow who is also a Mohel. A Mohel is a Jewish man versed in the Jewish Laws and considered an expert in performing the circumcision ceremony commonly called the Bris, 8 days after a male child is born. I told him he was the first Mohel I'd ever met and that up until then my total knowledge of his tradition stemmed from an episode of Seinfeld.
When our conversation ended he offered to pay for our coffees and pulled a small leather change purse from his jacket pocket. I'd never seen anything quite like it and he notice my attention and said, "I had this made from some of the foreskins I'd saved from my first dozen or so Brises. "
"Really?", I asked.
"Yea. The skins are quite durable. And the nice thing about it is when I have to go on a trip out of town, I just give it a few rubs. And it turns into a suitcase".
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
George, I am amazed at how much of your words resonate so deeply with me.
Man, first time tuning in for a while. I have truly missed The Daybreak Show. Good to see you, George!
I didn’t feel a thing from Circumcision. Happy I wasn’t aborted and sold for parts.
With what's going on in my life I feel like your video was speaking directly to me. Thank you. That was a lot of help.
I guess the holy Spirit lead me here today. I'm a single dad, thought about making it work with the mom, but it was destructive. I'm so blessed to get away from all that hellhole. There is something beautiful about alone but lately I've been tempted to find my son a better mother because he comes first over me. So I'm in the no excuse club. My spirit has been crushed lately. Been praying though. There's a potential girl whom I've known for 3 years but that may never happen. Maybe I'm ok with that. My kid will be 1 next month. I can't believe it. I'll be 30 in a few years. I swore I would be in my son's life no matter what, unlike my dad, and my stepdad who recently passed away. Thank you for this video. Praise be to God. I pray for all my brothers out there struggling with their women or issues that God lift them from your souls. Amen. Bless you all.
Bless you too bro 🙏🏾
Wonderful video; clear, honest and deep.
Was engaged 3 years ago, and have learned patience and more-so contentment after the imminent heartbreak. Thankful to God everyday for the peace and predictability, but still sadened with occasional lonliness. Singleness is more of an affliction than I realize, and it's never good to pretend I'm always fine. Not a bad living this is: Jesus, quietness and contentment. The future is in the Hands of the only One I need to trust. ❤
Definitely reccomend for anyone especially young guys. If they aren't established in a career and have the income to have their own place than probably not good to be in a relationship. Moreover, knowledge of self is important so you get into less BS in your life. As an introvert self isolation is a good thing. Look at all the great high achieving people. Things that are common amongst them are being alone, single minded etc of attributes to have to be highly successful.
Literally needed to here this right now. Thanks brother
A dead marriage should be baryed and remembered periodically for the good times and the lessons learned. Then you can move on with your life and start being happy again. Love your content George.
"Memento mori ". This life is temporary and whether alone or with someone , eventually we will all die. So what the hell is keeping us from living life to the absolute fullest? Best wishes to all from McAllen Texas. 😀✌
Man its crazy down there in the Valley. I hear its beautiful though. Blessings from H town.
I wouldn’t say I’m pro divorce but my 2nd wife was very materialistic and narcissistic. By the time she finally left me my mother said I tried to save that marriage for 5 years too long. I told her I had been trying to save it for 10. We were married for 17 and she left me when I finally ran out of money after many threats of divorce.
My grandparents were married for 62 years and they eventually hated each other, which was not common for their generation.
I love being alone. Ive been single for a whole and I really like it. Now for me too get into a relationship the person would have too be someone really special and someone who compliments my lifestyle....
I’m trying to learn to not be afraid to be alone. It’s harder than prison, getting kidnapped and sent to gulag schools, or waking up alone in a hospital bed unable to speak. How do I do it ? 🤷🏾♂️ just gonna keep listening and keep trying again. I hope it works and doesn’t “do” what my brain tells me it will do to me, to be alone …
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life”..... that was also moving.
George - For Halloween, I'm going to need you to dress like a rooster and have a crooked picture of you on the wall.

Hahahaha

My dad just died of a broken heart in April. Married to my mom for 52 years. She died last August. He cried for her everyday after.
My wife of 46 years died last week from cancer. I have ups and downs throughout the day, but the pain is lessening.
@@jselectronics8215 My wife just died a few weeks ago of cancer. 59 years together. Everyday gets easier because I believe her spirit is with me.
Wow! and, I thought I was too old to learn anything new. Good talk
dude this is the second video ive watched and I just love this guy!
I watched your video yesterday of how to give a proper shave. It was so relaxing and I like the fact that you are so detail-oriented. You almost seem fatherly to me, in the way you talk. I love it.
How ever humble there is no place like home!!!!!!
Great show love it. Been watching it everyday for over a year now !!!
I enjoyed the "oxygen mask" comment. 😀😂😂
Me too!!!!!!
😆 😆
Lol
I Thank universe for you, right now. Blessing to you bud.
Thank you, 😊 I am alone by choice for my sanity and metal stability
My metal is always more stable when I'm single too. My partners never like listening to it.
Hello my Neighbors ! I should have filed long long time ago. SHe bitched to her friend when I did file. What ? He just wants you to stop drinking ? Yes. Well, stop drinking.....BZZZZZ her friendship was over since it's not what she wanted to hear....
George you are a prophet. Great show man. Thanks for all the wisdom you share. I'm pursuing excellence, and man it works. The beard is growing well and
manhood keeps rising up. Your divorce approach have been beneficial for me. God bless you.
Thank you brother 🙏
Damn thank you for the knowledge
George- really like this clip!!
I’m coming through to straighten that picture on the wall okay?? Haha hey man, I mean this from my heart, thank you for this message, I’ve really, really been struggling with this and working on this. You came through at the right time.
Revolution, revolution is coming! I totally agree with you George. In a sense Karl Popper was very right also in his book "Open society and its enemies" how society "cycles" throughout history, how everything ends in such a "revolution" even in ancient Greece time, where it all began. Yet again human nature even rejects his information. Now freaking is a fact in almost every country and also here in Europe, my country (Bulgaria). That's why also as you said one of the first and best things to do is remain calm and stoic! I am young (24) but your content really helps. Thank you sir!
This was so good. I love all the topics you covered. I like to hear your opinions on politics as well. Thanks again George.
I saved myself on April 12-2021 feeling great and starting to release fear of being alone. Love your teachings George. Thanks
I know it's old but I've only recently discovered this gentleman. I appreciate you sir andhabe just come to realize you are friends with another gentleman I follow, Jesse Lee Peterson. I don't know what to say or how I found this channel but I get an energy from you guys that I don't know how to explain. Thanks. Maybe it's hope. Idk.
Morning George, I'm 68 so winning the Powerball wouldn't rock my world as it might have thirty years ago. I've been married since I was 20 except for a five year hiatus from my first divorce. I'm remarried unfortunately I hate being alone never could adjust to it.
No point being afraid, because the way things are going you won't have any choice.
A Man with God in his life is never less alone than when he is alone.
My grandmother died of a broken heart. I witnessed it personally and was the only one with her the morning she passed.
No matter where you are in this life journey if you landed on this page the universe has given you a mentor that will give you knowledge/advise/wisdom that will support the change required in your life to get you to a better place no matter where your at. This man is saving lives! I’m so glad I found him over 5 years ago.
My life just continues to get better and it’s men like this that have given me great advise/knowledge/life wisdom to get through some tough times and come out the other side shining like the sun!
🙏
When your alone, the human interactions you do have and are particularly truly wonderful, you can opt for quality situations to acquire friends and acquaintances, people of dubious motives or psychopaths are not thrust upon you.
Ok so George says "good motivator". A bit of a digression - motivators are good for the beginning for sure, but motivation and motivators come and go. You need to be persistant at something you want, no matter the motivation level, if you know it's good for you. If you depend solely on motivation, you will fail, I promise you.
Single for 20 yrs own my own house, car and future incomes
Let me tell you your assets are more important to them than love
I blend my coffee, dark roast, espresso & decaf, 1/3 each. French Press. 1/4 tsp of butter. Pinch of salt. Thanks G.
I just broke up with my girlfriend of 1 year and really needed to hear this
Dude 1 year is nothing. Try divorce after 21 years tough and 11 years married. You had it easy.
@@matty6848 I feel that as I am going through a divorce of 15 years and 25 together... but the reality is it may be the most lain this person has felt in their life.
Yes & Amen

So Much Thanks!
“Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come,

Thank you sir
If I won the powerball...I would chuck it all and start my homestead earlier than waiting till I retire. I would get my donkey, chickens and a couple dogs. I would donate the remainder to charity and stay humble.
Oops....I’m single though!
Is it about being alone or about having a plan?
I read a piece of life advice, that suggested that young adults should move out on their own as soon as possible, and when they do move out, live alone, do everything for yourself (no having your mom come over and clean). The idea is, to become an independent adult, but also to start from scratch. Maybe living alone is too lonely, then get a pet or roommate. If you do not know how to cook, you learn. By starting "from scratch" it gets you to build your life from a basic starting point.
Thank you George
My mom died 16 months after my dad passed in September of 2018..I believe she "died of a broken heart" I'm only 39..lost them both too soon.
That’s really difficult loss amigo. I’m sorry. My dad left too soon and I miss him every day. He was my best friend
Lol at everyone ends up looking like that 😂 that made me subscribe
Your not alone you have your beard.
“Try that with me or any of my friends... you’ll be wearing an oxygen mask.”
I love it!
New to your channel I have found it both enlightening and humorous. I listen to it like sage advice from a brother. Relatively new to being single after my husband of 25 yrs passed I find it a strange new world out there. I have missed the male perspective on things so you have filled the gap a little bit and it’s age appropriate as we are close to the same age.
I am ok alone and continue to adjust. I have learned and done many things I thought I would never be able to do, i.e. work the farm tractors, chain saw, trap and shoot ground hogs and raccoon that have invaded the barn. All just small parts of the much, much grander picture in growing, surviving and into thriving.
If I won the lotto I would set up a trust for my family members, hire a small staff to help run and maintain the farm. There would be no financial concern regarding aging in place should I decide to do so. I would build a small she shed in the woods in the back forty and focus on my writing there.
Life can throw us detours in one form or another. Sometimes that can be where the best stuff happens if we are open to it. The rhythm of emotions, seasons and reasons in the journey are all gifts and tools to help us along our way. Some let life just happen to them and others engage seizing the moment and opportunities. Now is only for the moment and we have the choice to act and have power over it. The past is gone, the future never promised and may not go as we planned. Love and compassion are the two most powerful words in the world yet nothing unless shared or given. Utilize both and pass them forward.
One Season of Many
Loss is but one season of many in life.
Singularly or in multiples it has no preference or predictability of timing, place or person and spares its wrath on no one.
Eclipsed by the shadow, living does not end in the veil.
It stands still for a time in the void until a nudge comes from within bringing strength, perspective and courage to move forward.
Breathe in and something unexplainable and unexpected occurs, an awakening as living pours back into life.
Unfamiliar in many ways there is beauty within it waiting to be explored.
Each moment forged tempers the core and in resilience makes a stronger, better and wiser person than before.
Loss is but one season of many in life. None can escape it yet all can learn from it.
You should come on my show and let's talk about all this gb@georgebruno.com
@@ListenMySon It would be an honor and blessing for the opportunity to grow and perhaps help those who might be dealing with a similar chapter in their lives.
I subscribed just cause you were stirring your coffee with chop sticks and everything else you spoke about. 👍🏼
Love being alone! Was married a few times and its not all that it's cracked up to be! Bahahaha
Great advice and your beard looks great George, thanks for the video 👍🇺🇸.
I am definitely not afraid being alone. In fact, i have embraced and love it. No loneliness here. I have my kids.
I’m pro-divorce too, when the milk has expired you throw it out!
Morning everyone, listening at work tired, have a good day!
I love this man. He speaks smart bche lived what he said.
I fought with church people over “save the man”. I finally pulled the trigger. Wise wise counsel
Wooo Does A+B=X? Yep. Good Questions Sir. I've been on the Inner Circle thought and practice for years now. Only a close group of sanity. We're not even all like minded, but we are trusting and we listen first.
