I lived the first 50 years of my life for others and was miserable a lot… At that time I started living for me and finding Progress Daily was a big part of that. Now I’m with someone who loves the real me and I’m happy again learning to skate and surf, building a hot rod, traveling, started my own RUclips channel and having fun. Thanks for your part in that!
As a young men skater I really see you as a guide the advice you give in your videos have help me out a lot in the past so thanks John love to see you happy with your family man inspiring!!!!
I recently just started rewatching your old vlogs as I’ve found myself needing some motivation. Back in high school and college I would latch on to people like you to keep myself inspired. So I just wanna say thank you as always for posting-and thank you for this video.
Absolutely loved this video. Found your skating content a while back and I have never in my life been on a skateboard. I watched it simply for the minute or two you talked about stuff like this. Super excited to see that you're going all in on this type of content!
You’re a good dude. Aside from the awesome skating. That’s why I enjoy your videos. Please don’t feel influenced by that. I just felt compelled to say that.
Great value from this type of content. Been seeing you since at least 2017. Your a source of inspiration when It comes to being true and reinventing yourself, at least for me who used to skate and do parkour, and now i'm into Climbing. Movement, all the same. And been having ideas about movies and books analysis to put on RUclips.
Great advice thank you John. Wouldn't have been able to start my own stuff without these videos over the years. Thanks for living true to yourself and showing us we can do the same! (Also go get that bag bro!! It's so interesting to see your business progression and you've delivered soooo much value that you really do deserve it. I know we'd all be hyped to watch along) :)
Right there with you John. Never cared to be rich or expect to have lots of money but the way things have been going in the economy has me stressing that soon I won’t be making enough to afford to survive in California. And I’ve been out here for 17 years now. Just keeps getting more and more expensive for literally everything.
Even though it’s not a skate video I actually needed this cause I skated with my other friends 2 days ago and skating for them is like a competition I don’t like that it made me feel like I’m bad at skating lowered my confidence
Anxiety and self-doubt go hand in hand for me. Overcoming my fears and be confident are gonna be the crusade of my whole life at 36. Even more so because of my traumatic childhood- I was abused both physically and emotionnally by my parents. Then I got severely bullied in high school, later by neighbors in my apartment building. After having drank for a decade, I'm sober for almost 3 years now. I'm currently back to University to complete my biochemestry degree. Life is hard when you're agoraphobic, socially anxious and depressed. During my deepest lows, I was unable to leave my apartment for months. People are still talking behind my back and gossiping about me. Life's hard and harsh when you suffer from acute chronic low self-esteem. Because I tend to believe what others say about myself. After all I went through, I'm still alive which wouldn't be the case for most people if they had to go through all that stuff.
The way to stop worrying is to stop worrying. I look at everyone as equal. If I live according to what others think, then I am living their life. Educate yourself, listen, and take in advice. But act according to your own heart. Wisdom is knowledge mixed with experience.
got pretty heavy on this one dude. Like most of us here watching, I can relate to this topic . I have found that if I keep an open mind combined regarding others opinions,, combined with keeping in touch with myself and what makes me happy, regretful vibes are few and far between. ..... by the way, that tailslide heelflip out was dope..... went the distance. 👍💪
needed to hear that i love you so much man i’ve been watching sence i was like 7 im 17 now about to be 18 in may you, garret, an many other skate RUclipsrs keep me pushin on my board God bless
Why don’t they have parental controls. For our generation we couldn’t watch shhhhh!!!!! But now 3 years old know everything a 42 year old knows about the kardashians and every other ignorant thing they shouldn’t have access to. A 7 year old watching a 30 year old is creep, even a 17 year old, bro is 17 years older than u… bizarre times!
John, I started watching you and Sarah independently by total coincidence before the two of you met, then dated and so on. I just love that I was like... Wait why are these two small channel, unrelated RUclipsrs meeting at the weird snow lodge place and then it felt like a weird dream I was having when yall then dated. It already felt like such a weird and unlikely coincidence that the two of you even crossed paths at all. Now I understand that you two have overlapping interests that make sense to me now, but then it felt really weird that a skateboarder RUclipsr that I was following and a camera RUclipsr I was following who made videos about video editing and stuff happened to be metering and then happened to date and then happened to get married or whatever. I haven't kept up with the channel much to be honest (and I don't keep super close tabs on internet relationships generally, because... weird). Anyway. I am recalling those memories because I was abused by my mother and I wasn't allowed to even go outside into my driveway and use the skateboard that I bought because I thought your videos were so cool. I never ended up really learning how to skateboard because I found out it's kind of scary, but those videos host me feel like I was living some sort of real life outside of my bedroom window that I was stuck watching the world through. I was restrained from physical movement and therefore developed very muted physical gestures and I just generally struggle to move my body much in flexible ways because it's such a new thing to me. It's a really hard thing to explain but it might sound weird but it was very cathartic being able to watch someone skateboarding. I just really loved watching how the tricks work, I like to be able to hear the air and birds outside and I really like the sound of the wood skateboard deck grinding against metal. These things made life feel more real, and I needed that at that age, point, and time. Now I've outgrown skateboards personally, now that's skateboarding is childish, just something I personally grew out of like with any interest. But I always make sure to stay subscribed to channels like this that I subscribed to a long time ago and have probably forgotten about. Because once in a while I get a video that pops up from someone I totally forgot about, and I'm like "oh my god John Hill still exists even when I'm not watching his videos?". Anyway my point here is just that, it feels good that things have changed. I don't need the skateboarding anymore, but I do need help with regret. Because now it's time to confront my father about the abuse and a divorce. I want air out my family issues any further, but this is the scariest thing I have done ever. But it's the right thing. I promised myself not to flinch while going through this. I need to cut my mother out of my life, even if that means cutting the entire family off with her. It's so difficult to push through that without falling for the way I crave a relationship with my mother like I never had. But this is my truth, and I gotta say what must be said and not allow myself to regret it, despite the pain. My conscious is clear, and has been, I just have to trust it. Thanks again for crossing paths with my life. You are a friend.
I'd say that skateboarding taught me about life and living. 1. I knew it won't be easy but it will be fun (it's more about the journey than destination) . 2. It taught me to stay true to myself regardless of how others perceive it. 3. There are risks of injuries but much higher rewards in learning tricks. 4. I learned to take calculated risks in life by learning them through tricks 5. As in life, however you fall you need to stand up and keep pushing - it taught me about importance of consistency and perseverance. 6. Years of falling and injuries only made me stronger and more resilient. 7. It taught not to compete with others but only with myself 8. It improved my balance and reflexes that saved my life and others many times. 9. It taught me how to look at obstacles creatively (in life and business) But unfortunately, now in my late 30s, when I feel very accomplished in my life personally and profesionally, I wish I had younger body and more time for skateboarding 😂
First off, great video, I think it will help a lot of people!!! but something that struck me with what you said. I don't necessarily agree that families should have unconditional love. I think love should be based on conditions. Lets say you have a family member that kills other people (extreme example, but I think you'll understand the point), I don't think they should be deserving of my love. I should be able to shut them out if they don't meet certain conditions. Although with family the level of conditions might be lower than with others. I know this is very philosophical, but it's something I think about.
I think the best realization is when we come to know that we’ve never really had control all along. God has always been in control. Then we can easily stop letting others dictate our actions & decisions.
People are natural enemies of God and hate God, in our fallen state we will take any kind of advice in this world. Except the advice to turn to God, repent of our sin and believe the good news that Jesus died for our sinners and saves the ungodly. (All of us) God will welcome you with open arms, and offer peace only found in him. 😊
I’ve lived true to your saying & it’s taken me further than anything else.. “Progress Daily”

Nun but facts here man
I'm so happy I clicked on this video
Hey John, if you are going down this motivational/philosophy route I suggest looking into stoicism and reading meditations by Marcus Aurelius
First off, great video, I think it will help a lot of people!!! but something that struck me with what you said. I don't necessarily agree that families should have unconditional love. I think love should be based on conditions. Lets say you have a family member that kills other people (extreme example, but I think you'll understand the point), I don't think they should be deserving of my love.

Please submit for YSL (youtube skatepark league). I tihnk you would do good.
Have you heard of Non Duality from Jim Newman? 🤔☯ It will definitely stop you caring what people think! 😂
