My wife died 1.5 yr ago. My mother 2 weeks later, my father 2 months ago. I have a 9 yrs old little girl, rasing her by my own. I learned a few yrs ago, that money is not everything. So I am only working in the morning, while my daughter is at school. The afternoon is for her, I am with her, doing homework, hanging out or just at home doing our stuff. Yes, my earnings are almost half than before...but money is not everything. I am positive sure that in a few years, my daughter will notice and appreciate I was there for her.
💯
You're doing amazing.
Great. You and your daughter are in our prayers. Stay strong and stay blessed.
You are a good father. Don't miss these days with your kid that will never come back. Good luck
U R great Father sir. I have 3 kids.
2 daughters and 1 son. Im doing everything for my kids.
Im also lost my parents😢😢
Happiness comes from the inside, NOT the outside.
Life comes from you not at you
So true!
Easy to say. Much harder change.
Happiness is a process, not a constant feeling.
Together
Ten minutes of this video can save someone fifty years of regret. Thank you for your wisdom
Hello how are you doing
Regards, not special putting you for my content.
I’m 91, and I spent decades saying “I’ll be happy when.” The years go fast, and the chasing never ends. Peace only came when I stopped. I hope you find yours sooner.
my brother why won’t you try to research about Islam.
@huszs Thank you for sharing, my friend. At my age, I’ve learned that many paths can lead people toward peace and a better heart. I wish you blessings on yours.
I almost died today.
It reminded me that THIS is life.
Enjoy today
Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed
www.youtube.com/@MộtChuyệnChưaKể
That is why it is called Present
how did u almost die
@DailyTurkishUserI climb and cut trees for a living. We had a close call. Tree split with me in it. Cleaning up winter storms is not for the faint of heart. 🤙🇺🇸
Tomorrow is guaranteed with Jesus only 😊 Corinthian 25:1-4 and Romans 3:23-26 please read
I'm 82yrs of age, God is always on my side and I don't lack anything. I am enough
your god doesn´t exist. it´s just ancient hebrew mithology, they lied to you and you fell for all that crap. the FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS exactly says your god couln´t create ANYTHING since MATTER CAN´T BE CREATED OR DESTROYED !! you´re weilcome. at least you will die with your open eyes !! cheerios. besides, we don´t have a soul or spirit so when you rot in the cemetery NO ONE will COME to save something you never had in the first place !! cheerios
And Enough is as good as a Feast !
That's called self content mind-set...which many lack these days
@srikaul968”did you check on Amazon?”
God knows everything anyway, your whole life is just a script in God's divine plan, you are just like an actor on stage.
Age doesn’t give answers. It removes illusions.
I deeply miss those quiet evenings when we simply sat together and listened to the adults.
The stories and life lessons they shared felt like a gentle therapy for the soul.
Ten minutes of this video can save someone fifty years of regret. Thank you for sharing wisdom that only time can teach
Exactly. A small investment of time today can save a lifetime of ‘if onlys.’
Yeah, and 2026 is a good time to learn a new skill.
I just finished learning new secret from my mentor Forex Trader Coach.
Grateful for the progress so far-thank God and always remember, you’ll never regret investing in yourself.
Take care of your mind, strengthen your body, build a deeper relationship with God, learn new skills, eat healthy, read often, and stay hydrated.
Good advise. Must remember that it take time to learn a lot of things. In my case I would say it has taken me 30 years to learn and I am still learning things. God bless ( FOREX TRADER COACH ).
Thank God, He is on wire application.
He actually knows the secrets of trading.
For the Interested individuals, He is on Wire communications platform.
Fortunately at age 10 I learned a valuable lesson by having cancer and seeing other children not beating it. The lesson I learned was tomorrow is not guaranteed, live every day to its fullest without regrets and worries to enjoy every day, to not stress about things you can’t control and are unimportant, to not work so much and be with those who matter. To just live and enjoy life everyday.
Be happy, dear friend!
Well said❤
They only way to waste your life is not accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and saver... Its all that matters... Make a honest living... Doesn't matter what you have or don't have here on earth... Try and help everyone you can in whatever way you can... Don't hold grudges... be grateful for whatever you do have... Dont get attached to anything on earth... Have this mindset, Father I thank you for your gifts in Jesus name, I would gladly give them back if its not in your will for my life... Never have a tight grip on anything but your relationship with Jesus Christ... everything else good or bad have a loose grip... Never let anything have control over you... You either receive things from the devil to be a stumbling block or a blessing from the Lord... Have a steal trap mind... If you see a beautiful women you can acknowledge she's beautiful but cut it off right there... dont allow your mind to take it any further... Resist the devil and he will flee... God Bless anyone that reads this... Jesus loves you and wants a relationship with you!
May Allah bless you I pray for you dear
Well said ❤
"Everything you are looking for is already inside of you"
This is so true,but sometimes we underestimate ourselves and don't realize it 😊
This is an incredibly sad story. Thanks for sharing. I'm 23 years old now and this video was timely.
my brother why won’t you try to research about Islam.
I’m glad I realize this at 31
Some brother! I’m an HVAC tech making $31+ an hour and I’m about to take pay cut for $20an hour … I can’t wait.
Same age same though
Same age, feeling the same. I feel like i need to step out from proffesional career and buy a house in the village with my partner. Praying, Reading books and looking after some goats.
You got it 😊😊😊
my brother why won’t you try to research about Islam.
After I retired I started to live. I play the organ in church for myself. I have written two books for myself. I volunteer for myself. I don't care what people think of me. Now I have the time and energy to do these things. I am 74.
Sounds like you have much to share and bless others with too!
Wise words!!
Bless you!
Yes,but ypu can do all this, because you earned enough money to retire.
Good for you.
Respekte stay active and do things you like.🙏🙌🍺
I'm 51, and it took me nearly dying from serious illness about 8 years ago to realise what happiness really means. Thanks for sharing, William. God bless you, my friend 🙏
Hello xxx
How are you doing today
This wisdom this man shared is from the depths of his soul. His brutal hard hitting honesty is greatly appreciated and may help us to save what remains of our lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this.
I'm 76-year- old Korean-American man who is serving a tiny Korean Church as a pastor in Johnson City, TN. even after my retirement.
Your saying is so great that I feel happy with tears.
This morning you were "Tolstoy" to me. Thank you so much!
I'm a somewhat older atheist but you come across as being a truly decent person. Good luck ...
Koreans live life like it's a formula ---- go to Yonsei, get plastic surgery, wear the best clothes, live in Gangnam, have your children go to the best schools, drive a great car so you can be admired by everyone else who have also fell into the same trap of being identified by the external and haven't figured out who they are because they're in perpetual race mode.
What is your favorite book by Leo Tolstoy?
Just beautiful
@fallenskybird불행하게도 많은 한국인들이 그 수렁 속에서 헤어나오지 못하고 있지만, 모두가 그런 건 아닐 겁니다. 운 좋게도 저는 이른 나이에 그런 부질없음을 깨달아 다른 삶을 선택했었고, 현재는 제 아이들도 적어도 무엇이 인생의 중심에 서야 하는지를 알고 사는 것같아 고마울 따름입니다.
님께서도 항상 삶의 중심 잘 잡아가시고 항상 평안하고 충만한 나날 되시길 바랍니다.
for a man: it's hard to balance providing and being present at the same time
😢 you made sense of something that didn’t…I was waiting for retirement to make me happy but it just came and went and you were right…didn’t make me feel any different. I thought it did at first, but no it was a false feeling and faded away fast and actually made me feel worse cause I didn’t understand why I wasn’t overjoyed…Thank you for sharing and taking your time to pass on knowledge to change a mindset to hopefully change people’s live for the better. 😊
Live in the present. Time is rationed, brainpower limited; blank slate at birth, fill in as we go along.
My advice, as an old phart? These few words I've long forgotten the source of-
-"If it harm none, do as thou wilt", meaning live and learn.
(from Wicca, I think (?), anyway thinkers will comprehend.)
Perhaps had u shaved off the beard William u 'd have felt much better about life & yourself .
@josephphelan646 that's the oddest comment here.
@teressastuckey LOL! The beard makes you unhappy?
Thank you so much for this chat. So many of us need to listen to it every other day just to keep our minds in the right place. Thank you. Be safe and happy.
Only 10 minutes, but it feels like 50 years of wisdom. This is the kind of video that stays with you long after it ends.
i love the old man whistly type voicceeeee
*whistles on the end of "voice" *
It’s sort of stated in the title
Amen to that
@TonyMoze It takes 30sec to realise it's AI slop, and yet you comment on the extraordinary quality of his voice. Wow! I suggested unplugging from the internet. Seriously.
Really sad how few people realize this is Ai junk. It’s all made up dude
I had the chance to realize how pointless the life was when I was 35. Now, just turnee 38, I'm just happy. I don't have more, I don't have less, I just enjoy every day as it is.
I'm 62
How lucky you are
What made you realize?
Everyone is happy at 35 dear ! Join the 40 club then you will see.
@ilkka5267 when I finally got the situation I was longing for I felt deeply unhappy and became depressed for one year.
@QuratulAin-z8y i'm almost there but in the end it's just a number
I just turned 70 50yrs trucking took my social security payed every thing off to care for my family put enough money back for a rainy day now enjoying trying to catch up what I missed with my family growing up.had to keep my big truck rolling to feed others and my family. Thank you God for all my safe travels and keeping my family safe and healthy 🙏 l am blessed.
GOD blest you
Thank you for driving your truck and feeding families all across our country.
You're a good man 👍🏼. God bless 🙌🏻
Thank you for your time an service!! Without truckers we wouldn't have nothing !! Truckers an the truckers moves the goods!!! Not a easy job!!! I drive an deliver everyday about 3 to 400 miles a day but I am back home everyday.
Thank you my Brother, I understand, and will do what is needed, I understand!!!
Hi William, it’s me from pakistan, 50 years old guy, for me happiness is not happiness , sadness is not sadness for me, I experience all that and think everything is in this life to be passed so I never get serious in any matter… .. do hard work but don’t expect anything from anyone … I do good things but don’t wait for thanks from other side… I’m satisfied and passing the life coz I know one day it will end, and no body will remember me…
Good memories of you will outlive you
Beautiful msg❤
I personally did same thing with you , man.
One thing more needed I added recognize who u r where you come from where are you going about
Read the Bible , Touraat, Quraan and see where would you find your real destination
Writing this comment will make that everyone read this will remember and make good conclusions, thank you 🙌
Thank you for this. Your timing is exemplary. I am 73 and am feeling lost, useless and done. I have said i have lived past my expiration date. You have given me hope that is not true. Please take care of you ❤️
Dad is 84. I still can't beat him in a sparring boxing match.
Your not alone mate, its not you its life. When faced with adversity just say f**k it and smile.
You have lived long enough to begin to live for God and self. Enjoy!❤
@Ring0--you aren’t suppose to dear, he’s your dad! Just love him❤
@ispy3836just embrace it dearheart. You needn’t cuss at it. ❤
That single sentence tells everything “ The journey is destination “
Beautiful story thankyou❤
I’m 41, I don’t own my own home, I have a beat up old Honda, I’ve worked in jobs trying to climb ladders, I’m now self employed, I take the time I want, I spend time with my kids and my wife, I see
The people across the street, they leave the house at 6am, they come home at 7pm, I see them on the laptop through the windows on weekends, they have fancy BMW’s paid on finance, it’s all that I’m so happy to be separated from. I just genuinely do not care for it.
The best thing in life is family/friends and laughing at the good times, supporting one another on the bad times. Enjoying nature, being kind and saying thanks to what you do have.
There isn’t much more to it than that. When you die, everything you own goes back in the box. Don’t waste the time
God blessing for you and your family ❤
@billdesign4602 and the same
To you friend
Good you mate, that's the right idea. I'm 42, and alot of my prioritys are the same.
@mattparr3038 I’m not afraid of death, it’s my belief far more comes after this material world.
Personally I don’t practice faith in the traditional sense of church, priests the pope etc. I believe that to be a front for something that has been distorted away from the real creation and creator.
I thank what I believe to be “god” for everything I have ie my life, my children, this experience etc. I believe we are truly meant to be good, kind, and love. If I can achieve this then nothing else matters to me. Especially in the current world where many dark times have been observed and more to come I believe
Wish you well.
I'm about the same as you mate, pay rent normal car basic job.
My family make me feel like a king, I'm happy.
Sometimes I compare myself to others and realize what makes me happy.
We are all built differently, each to there own.
I'm a simple man and happy with that.
Cheers mate all the best.
41 years people pleasing im so exhausted.
Everyone's life are different in many ways. Just follow your hearts. Do things you feel good for yourself.
The Bible says to never follow your heart, because it is of the flesh and impure. It will lie to you. Follow Jesus Christ and you will be fine.
I might suggest: to find meaning do things that feel good for others.
Example i started adopting abandoned cats, give them a home, care for them. Now we're 30 here, it stresses me but also gives me joy.
Couldn't agree with you more
Don't follow your heart, follow JESUS!
@alfredtorres9640exactly, that's what I said. The heart is flesh and will deceive you.
Thanks for your wisdoms….appreciated
Im 56. Listening from Philippines. I hear you
Thank you William I've been working 7 days a week for 25 years and almost killed myself! Wife stll not happy and kids are out of control and ungrateful. Now im going through life loving myself first and seeing where that goes! Enough ,Peace, Love and forgiveness. ×××!!!❤❤❤
Theres far more to life than work and money
My husband has to leave home for months & years at a time. Only coming home for a quick weekend visit if lucky…but sometimes having to work seven 12 hour days for many months. Then there’s no time for visits home to his family. To his young boys who miss him terribly. Who he misses terribly. I hate it. Money is NOTHING. It comes & goes. Our family & relationship with each other & the love & bond & true happiness is only here for NOW. Once it’s gone, it can’t come back. I’m sad…..sad for him, sad for my boys, & sad for myself I guess. I just want to enjoy NOW….live NOW…..with him. It’s always just me & the boys. It feels incomplete, like we can’t start our real life yet because a big piece is missing.😢
JESUS IS THE ANSWER
@daniellefarrow7956Maybe sit him down and think about changing his job ,life goes quick to quick and is priceless ,tell him to wake up ,ask him what he is trying to achieve. I started my own business so I could have more time and no boss , sold it years ago retired early and love life. PS. Always had weekends off and finished lunchtime on Fridays my rules….also loved my work another rule of mine…
William is ai generated 😢
Guys, trust me, I am the happiest guy ever on earth!
Nice. Give us a secret or tip
"Everything You're Looking For Is Already Inside You" 😇
Someone like this so I can come back! 12:43
Don’t forget to come back 😊
I retired at 35. I'm currently 40. Living life at your own pace, is real freedom.
How did you manage to retire at 35?
How much corpus you have to save for such a early retirement
How u retired at 35.I am 39 and a doctor, now only starting my career..
that means you have enough money so that you can retire at the age when people start earning to build saving.
@sabarirajan5139 you still need to rewatch this video if your asking
Thank you sir !! God Bless you !!
Those AI video really are flooding internet
I am more terrified off all the top 1k+ liked comments...not sure if they are from real people or also AI.
I HOPE it's AI.
Ai is the future
Only the message is important❤
thats a good thing if the info is worth listening too.
They are ruining the internet.
I missed my daughter growing up chasing a stupid conquest. I can’t get that time back. It haunts me everyday. We are close today but I still can’t get that 5th birthday back or those years she really needed my wisdom and strength. I love her and my wife of 40 years as much as you can love someone but it seems a bit late now. If you have children spend every waking moment you can with them. You can’t get it back. I’m 67 and it’s coming a lot faster now.
I am 47 years old, and it has never been more important for me to understand and absorb the wisdom of people who have lived much longer than I have.
I'm turning 48 this month and I agree with you 💯. I've been chasing my whole life also even when I was fortunate to have everything and more than I've ever wanted, but still feel the same way. I'm glad to have stumbled on this video just at the right moment, to live the remainder of what's left knowing what has been with me the whole time. Thanks William!❤
Thank you.. great understanding
Totally correct. I've travelled, wasted opportunities, embraced anger, and a lot more.......that wastes your time. I'm 61, I and we both (my wife and I) are focused on changing, downsizing, and to embraces those moments we enjoyed when we first started out. No point in keeping a large home. Not proving anything ........like these sad billionaires do etc. Do it now....or never do it and regret. Stay focused..... For example, don't listen to bullies, let their attitude wash over you, they can suck your creativity out of you. Feel pity for them and turn away from them. Stop following others and do your own thing without using others. Soon, you will appreciate you.
When I had everything you are meant to have - a house, freinds, a boyfriend, a new car from work that I could use whenever I wanted, my own business and savings - I realised I wasn’t happy. I was working 50+ hours a week between my full time contract and running my business. I even worked weekends. My goal was to pay off the mortgage and have financial freedom. But I wasn’t happy.
I fractured my right arm and not able to do much else I meditated a lot. The guidance was “leave”. I asked many questions and got no other guidance. I sold my house without meaning to, in a phone call. I got rid of many things, packed a bag and put everything else in my parents loft.
I moved into a Buddhist temple than travel the world for 3 years. It was great and I came to a depth inside myself that was pure peace.
It was hard to adjust back to “normal” life.
Within 5 years I packed up again and moved country, wrote 2 books and now I have just moved to another country. I don’t have the money I had and don’t own much. But I’m happy, well and peaceful. ❤
Well on the flip side, imagine you had been living in a Buddhist temple your whole life. Maybe you’d be wanting a boyfriend, a car, a business and your own house.
Hello, great story and lesson lived. I'm a minimalist, not by choice, I've had everything I owned taken from me, had a period of homelessness and still have very little. I don't miss the rat race at all and I wonder why life happened the way it did with no answers,. Still. I learned to enjoy the little things in life,. Most things we all miss in our hot pursuit to find out who or what we are when our answers are truly in what money can't buy.
There is similarity in our lives. As a widower I took a backpack to explore Buddhism, jungle, temples, and one day buying duck eggs in a field I was overwhelmed by peace and detached, a moment of Nirvana. Now I will sell my house, possessions, reduce to a suitcase travel and help others as my heart guides me.
Wish you happiness wherever you may be
🌸🙏
@smileoften-ft3hqthat’s amazing. Remember to take care of yourself ❤
@JS-ll8nkyes many people want what they don’t have. I have another business now
This is such a common syndrome. Endless chasing and lusting for More. Greed is Not Good. Be Present, be Happy with yourself no matter what. You are Always Enough!!
Try being broke in retirement because you didn't work hard enough in your prime working years
@8corymix8
No Social Security ?
Unfortunately, YOU alone are not enough. Everyone NEEDS GOD in their life!
@mikeguthrie5432
Amen !
I keep listening, and it keeps reminding me. Change is hard, but slowly things will start moving in a meaningful direction I hope ..
My Dad always said happiness is contentment he was so right.
True, be grateful for who you are and what you have.
Iron john
Happiness is a by product of helping others. When someone smiles at you on the street, smile back even if you don’t feel it just yet, after awhile, you will.❤
When a man is a good provider for his wife and children, there is happiness. It may or may not be his happiness but the man has surely blessed his family with the happiness his provisions bring.
He must provide for himself too.
Unless he gets her a job because she wants more and more , then runs off with one of your coworkers …
Dear William,
I listened to this driving home from another late night. I am 51, my wife divorced me at 50 because i was not present.
I have been with my wife for 25 years, we have been everywhere, done everything. There are roughly 240 working days in a year, and i only spent 14 days out of 365 days completely entrapped in ber company, shocking really..
Think about it, your video has hit home like a bombshell going off in my head.
I have had very senior positions, really good titles, but a whole heap of stress.
I have lived in homes that were valued at 500,000. Now i have 70,000 and live with my brother in a 1 bedroom flat trying to get my life back on track, and win my wife back.
But... i am now working stupid hours trying to build my money back up to get somewhere, so i am chasing again!!! I have been chasing since i was 16 man. Thats 35 years. Jesus christ, this world is hard.
Dear William, what a fantastic story, both sad and true. You keep going and thank you for sharing, god bless you, and be at peace young man.
Boo hoo
I'm 53 with one penny to my name.boo hoo many have it worse then you..many never experienced a nice house or vacation
@TheDogman72
I bet you never worked a day in your life. And if I’m wrong there, you never saved in your life thinking there is no tomorrow. Well, if you think like that, then it becomes true.
Dont you agree??
Do you know it's AI😂..... Can't believe... right?......I made it actually......
Thank you for sharing this 🙏
You know what I’m saying I’m grateful for you telling your story. God bless you.
Poeple needs to hear this.
Thank you for sharing❤
It's an AI video.
This is maybe one of the best video I’ve seen. Thank you.
When I turned 18 my dear father passed away. and what this man is saying was the lesson I learned. I'm 53 years old and I don't have a house to pay for, I don't have anything right now, I don't even have a job. I feel enormous happiness iam free
Excellent. Thank you.
It's all AI generated people. Wake up. This wasn't made by a 77-year-old William. This was written by 20-year-old Patel from India and ChatGPT
Make sense! Because I was thinking he built worthy generational wealth 😊
I was going to say the same and have a old lady too
This guy gets it. 😂
I'll listen anyway. 😂
But everything here is worth listening and agreeing ,even if it's AI
Got off the rat race train a long time ago. The treadmill has stopped. Both my kids are homeschooled and I've spent amazing quality time with them. Imagine I would have bought into the world's system. My wife and I go everywhere together. I don't need time with the fellas. I love my wife and I made sure to not make the same mistake all these marriages make. I serve her every day. I wash the dishes, do laundry, help with the kids, go on walks and for coffee, we take day trips, weekend trips, we pray together and make sure we tell each other how much we love one another.
Yes, I don't have a lot of money but I have my life, family and world balanced. Thank God I learned this around 55 and not 77.
I'm still working, paying bills and taking care of the family but it's in order and definitely balanced for good. No more chasing the wind.
#qualityoverquantity
Thank you for the Life Lesson. Praise God!
Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom
Well said, I can really relate to your story! I see a beautiful photo of father and son. I also see poverty, but above all, love!! You should be proud of your hard work because you were able to provide your family with good living conditions! I had a father like that too, he wasn't always there, but I had a lot of respect for his hard work, so we lacked for nothing. That's love too! You already mentioned that perfection never comes! And you can never be a perfect person, but you come very close!! You explained it "well enough," that's all I needed! Thanks, my friend.
Thank you Sir for your valuable advice. I’m a 47 year old woman who’s been a stay at home mom and wife for over 20 years now and I was feeling very sad and unaccomplished. But after watching this video I figured out how blessed I truly am to be able to care for my family, how nice it is to pick up my kids from school and come home with them instead of them having to stay in an after school program or babysitter.
- I am indeed a very lucky and rich woman, mommy and wife! ❤
You are doing the most valuable work on the planet! ❤
You have a Beautiful present heart ❤️
Sir is AI, not a man. It's blatantly obvious if you know how to discern.
@WildhorseMuse😂 What
I have been a SAH homeschool mom for 25 years. I have chased things. It can be easy to feel like I need more. It has been a blessing to stay at home. To be there for kid.
I am 66 and you are so right. If I was starting over young I would scale down to near nothing and be happy. Nature is my backbone.
Great message. Thank you
I’ve been working 45 years and still broke, get up at 3:30 every morning and 2 years from retirement age and all I want is a van with a bed and enough money to eat and travel, Im probably the most immaterialism man in the country, I don’t care about fancy things I just want freedom from the toil of work.
Then ya better get on with it
No time like the present. Tomorrow is not promised and yesterday is gone.Be present.
The crazy thing is I actually live the life you're seeking except for traveling, I work a regular job now but I live in a van so I have enough money to pretty much do whatever and eat whatever I want, it's a relaxed and comfortable lifestyle but it took all of my life to realize that keeping things simple is really what life should be about.
In order to able to receive abundance, the first step is to be grateful for what is there in the present situation. Look for little things you can already today be grateful of. Then in this higher vibration you will see things and so on … let you be surprised without waiting for it.
Youre going to continue broke in and out... let s talk to god😢 God is the way❤❤❤ that is it.
I just turned 50. I’ve been working in a very high risk, high liability career for the last 26 years. I’ve worked hard to be where I am now in my career. Made a lot of sacrifices. I’ve also sacrificed my time with my wife and kids. When I was home, I wasn’t there mentally. I was always thinking about what I’ve done and what I have to do. I lost my ability to enjoy the moment. I just went through the motions. I am fortunate that my wife has stuck with me for the last 26 years, but I feel that I have alienated myself from my own family. I’m lucky that I can retire and receive my pension now. I wavered if I should because I’m afraid that I will lose my purpose in life. But watching this video I realized that I now have a different purpose. I can now try to repair my damaged relationships and live the rest of my life enjoying the small moments that I’ve taken for granted. I still have my health, I’m loved, and money is not a concern. I have everything that I need and could ever want. Now I just need to live my life with the people that really matter to me. Thank you for creating this video. It was the final push that I needed.
That's sounds like a comment from the author of the video...
Lucky you
Thank you. I'm 33 and this was the most important lesson I have been taught.
Thank you William
I'm 40 years old,but I'm happy that I knew these things when I was 25 years.......thanks for sharing
I Am 50 Now…Thank You For The Wisdom…👍👍👍
Bringing Home anything from work, even the feeling of it can ruin your day. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your truth. I appreciate your authenticity. God bless you. 🙏
I'm 62, been through a lot, like we all have. Wisdom like this - all these associated videos - are wonderful wake up calls because it's never too late to change whilst you still have life. I'm in a dark place right now but this is the 2nd video I've chanced upon today from this channel and it has given me real encouragement to make change, right now this second. God bless you for that help.
I was there , too .
I know that I needed counseling and God’s help .
Through Christ I made it through the other side and I’m so grateful .
You can as well .
Please consider my path that I took and give ALL the credit to The Lord .
You will be so happy and blessed that you did …
Peace ☮️

I totally agree..when you find out that your enough just how you are..thats joy..the joy you've been looking for your whole life. because thats all we have is know...
Thank you❤
that was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard… Your authenticity is appreciated
I realized at 31 I dont wanna slave away my life for the next 20-30 years just to make it to retirement hoping I will finally get to live my life. We are working physically, then pay bills, taxes, fees, tickets... We give everything, and get nothing. We get home with just enough to recover and be back to work on monday. Selling everything, moving to a province in the Philippines where mountain and coastal views, happy family, a small farm, and not a care about whats happening to the world is my happiness.
Man, this hits way too close to home. I spent 20 years grinding for that 'senior' title, thinking my kids would be proud. But I missed every single football game and dinner. Now I got the office, but my son is a stranger and my wife left. William is right, I was chasing ghosts. Wish I knew this sooner.
Wow very honest,i respect your courage,Life has no Absolutes i guess.. i try and stay grounded choose peace over perfection,know i was born to do something worthwhile, that has maniFest itself in a few ways not always great big things but I think we can get sidetracked by what others kind of expect of us,sometimes this is subtle but its that conformity,i’ve never really conformed in many ways so i suppose that has been cathartic , conformity is the ultimate form of cowardice..But i kind of have lost what lights me up,maybe because the world is harder now than it used to be, I feel my life has always been quite hard but recently it’s a different component of being hard..Lot of negativity about it can swamp you but we are creators ,can do quite a lot to uplift our lives, strengthen our position and have a mission bigger than ourselves in many ways…Anyway sending you good vibes and your happiness is just one decision away
Best

That’s a horrible feeling. I’m 33 and glad I read your comment but it saddens me for you. God bless you
Never too late to try and fix things while your hear. God bless you !
Fortunately I went other way. I spent 13yrs single so my daughter didnt have to share our weekends and holiday time with a woman/step mother...dont think she thinks any more of me for it.

You are making me feel better about myself, I feel enough with just me and my 2 Staffordshire bull terriers who were 11 years old yesterday. They are unconditional with love,affection and loyalty towards me. We have had so much fun in these years. Im unlucky in love but im at a point where I don't care anymore, im happy with me and my 2 boys, the staffies. Thank you for your advice
Plus your puppies provide unconditional love. That’s why dogs die somewhat young. They didn’t have to learn it.

52 years young! I just went through this journey. Endless chasing to find something, someone on the outside to make me whole. I’m finally here!! Best gift I could give myself, ME!! I shared your video with my son 25, and his friends. Only one word, one sentence and some times a silence can awaken a soul. Accepting & finding yourself is the change you make in your life. Sending you Love & Peace 🤍
At 35ish i changed my life goal to being able to die happy...i never looked back
"Real freedom is not needing anything outside of you to be okay inside of you." thank you
Yes thank you AI
Good message.
Thank you!!!!! Thank you. So needed to hear that. I'm on exactly the same path. Need to change
Be intentional about simplicity!
spot on
I am a woman 57 years. When I was young I was thinking a relationship would make me happy. When I was with a man for a little time I was thinking is this really makes me happy??? No I was most happy when I was alone. I did not want children, did not want a steady job and also not a relation. I wanted to be free!!! At the age of 40 I loved myself more and more for who I was. Now I am the happiest person in the world! The things in live that makes me the most happy are the animals, when I am riding my bike in nature, or be in my garden with all te beautifull flowers. All this cost nothing. And at 50 I started to work for myself selling second hand stuff. I always lived from minimum wages and had hard work wich broke my body, never was supported and always have cronnical pain now, but I love myself and have peace inside. And do not live for the approval of other people. I hope this peace will stay till the end of my live! But also for this peace in mind I worked and still do. It is pratice your mind and be thankfull for what you have. Gratitude lifts your vibe enormous. Thank you for your story it is so true!
Thank you for your story
Ithought agreat relationship would made everything good.husband died on active duty.iwas iwas42 wewas station in NewYork ,moved to North Carolina near Mother, now iam 68 .love,my Yorkie Dog, Diamond my gardening.have a new companion, but it stressful. Irealize iam happier. In my beautiful bungalow house, dog,gardening,by books and myself with God
And this video made me realize iam really ,Enough. Thank you for listening
I sold my home my car everything, at 57 and bought a MH traveling the rest of my life!!! Screw the system you can’t take anything with you..
You might try growing some turmeric in your garden, it makes beautiful leaves and then you harvest the roots under the plants and use it to help the inflamation in your body to help with the pain. Just a thought. Hope it helps. God bless you and thank you for working all those years.❤
@larrajohnson881good for you!❤happy trails!
@larrajohnson881i would like to be like you. I am 61, free but too scared of loneliness and what could happen
Enjoy yourself from 20 to 50 after that nothing matters we all die rich or poor
William, your words are golden. Thank you. I'm 70. Still working hard.
I am 65, and I understood only last year that happiness is when you are satisfied with what you already have. Don't chase extra things. If God gives you extra things that's fine, just bonus. But what you have already is enough to make you happy. And you have stuff, valuable staff around you but you need to turn around and look for it, and you will see it.

Wow , every young person should watch this , Im 63 and believe me this man is right.
He might be right but hes not a man. Hes an ai produced fictional individual
The Voice may be AI but the teaching is thousands of years old. You are enough.
Yeah pay off your mortgage and work hard when you retire you can reflect and enjoy the rest of your life what's left
This video is before viagra
@Danno0007 Its AI trying to destroy humanity already. Its goal is to make every country weak like the EU
Thankyou
I'm gradually realising I can't change people
And I can't change the world
I'm trying to be happy in the moment by being more fully present, and I worry less and less of the past and the impending future.
Whatever will be will be
I'm living it up every moment in the now......
I did go through your journey, but was never really the over-materialistic sort nor gave a damn what anyone thought.
Stay blessed old friend
Love that you're finding that peace.
A.I. or not the message is the point. I'm glad I watched every second to be able to live in a healthy state of mind for years to come.
Wawoo ❤ stop chessing and start being, listening at 53 years ❤❤❤
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Thank you so much for this wonderful message
You are so welcome
Such deep wisdom! This message really makes you pause and think about what truly matters in life thanks for sharing 50+ years of insight in just 10 minutes.
I am 34 years old and I tell you what I don’t own a thing. I live paycheck to paycheck but I make the wife and the kids always have everything they want. Many people see me as a loser for not having wealth but I am independent. I don’t work 8am-5pm every day, I choose when I work and when to spend time with my kids. I still work every single day in this life for $150-200 a day. The beauty of it all is I can choose what time to start work and what time to get off work. This gives me the flexibility and freedom to come home any given time. People always ask me why do you barely have any gray hairs? I don’t chase anything and do not plan anything because the day is not guaranteed. I have lost almost all my friends because they are wealthy and have everything but because I am not like them they all treat me as a stranger now. They are always unhappy and I tell you what I hope more young people watch this to realize that they need to make time for their children. It doesn’t matter that you are working hard for them, if you aren’t there to spend time with them then you are missing them grow up. Amen.
You Sir have discovered the true meaning of life!
Excellent parent
I am 63 now, this I knew at 49 and stopped chasing everything, from that day I am enjoying my life in remote area😊
It seems as though I may have authored this comment, but I assure you that is not the case, as I am currently 54 years of age.
U meet ur wife's boyfriend yet?
Funny to hear an AI to tell us about what is real life
The thoughts are not AI. These are someone's actual words, written down in an essay and animated.
Thank you for sharing the benefit of your life experience. You are enough. I am enough.
He doesn't exist. It's Ai
You still need JESUS CHRIST !
Thank you brother
The definition of happiness is satisfaction. If you know this, you do not need 50 years to understand what it means.
"Great peace have they that Love Thy Law, and Nothing shall Offend them'...
In this world where cruelty is being inflicted by selfish people, kindness matters more than ever.
Its Amazing a wonderful feeling... its the Truth..!!
I'm mid seventies and realized at nineteen that there was something wrong with our system of working from six to sixty-five, so i became content with what i had, i was misunderstood, got no respect people laughed at me looked down on me, but not only was i content i was happy and at peace and had the privilege of living a life with nature in the forest Never put your happiness in the hands of others 😊💕✌
