One of the reasons I make sure to watch your videos is because from the beginning…these are concepts that at least seem to be not only what you’ve studied but what you reflect deeply upon. It resonates differently. It doesn’t just seem informative, but as if you have considered carefully your own path within these principles. I wondered as I listened today if this post was because of your own channel growth…if you had been considering it as well. The viewpoints you express are fleshed out. Thank you for sharing…and may your success continue in each area of your life. 🌿

A man had a horse that ran away. When his neighbor found out, he came over and said, "that's terrible". The man said, "you never know". The next day, the horse came back and was leading two wild horses. The neighbor said "that's wonderful". The man said, "you never know". The man's only son was training one of the horses and fell off and broke his leg. The neighbor came over and said "that's terrible". The man said, "you never know". The Cossack army came through the village and recruited everyone. They took all the young men. But they didn't take the son because he had a broken leg. Again, the neighbor said, "that's wonderful". And again, the man said, "you never know". -from a story told by Ram Dass

@@wonderIland Agree. I learned to manage little money and make things work just fine. Then when I got a raise and multiple sources of income, I knew not to overspend on certain things and actually saved a lot on the side. Same with relationships, I haven't had a friendship that lasts longer than 7 months. I often find myself unwilling to communicate what people do that bothers me. All that piled up and I eventually blamed others that they were nonchalant and didn't want to own their part. If I suddenly had someone I adore shower me with love right now, I would definitely sabotage it. I'm still working on that.

@@emilia4_ What you wrote about love really resonated with me. Everyone assumes I'm this cold hearted individual because I don't mention love often, when the truth is I know I'm not ready to accept it. It's one thing when you believe in love but when you don't believe that it's for you, things get complicated. In my mind I would rather possess the belief that I'm worthy of love, than actually have the "loml" right in front of me.

I wonder how you got into philosophy and at what age. You have clearly done much reading, studying, internalizing, and applying. Thank you for your service!

I keep noticing that things one wishes for eventually come true, but they come in another form, not the form expected. I find this fascinating, and already expect in advance that the form in which things will come is utterly unpredictable, because even if one imagined 10 possible scenarios, the 11th will happen 😊 so it makes no sense imagining much

Great words young man. I can relate to a lot of what you say in this video and yes, for the first time I admit it, I have been "damaged" by chasing false dreams. And I admit I wasted and lost a lot of money, time and more in the pursuit of my dream woman or so I thought they were. Now I don't wish for any woman or anything. I just work towards my own success. Discipline I learned today, is the key to everything.

If we are very much in tune with who we truly are, we would not change regardless of how our circumstances change. If we are fundamentally good, material possessions won't corrupt us and indeed they would give us more tools to do good. The opposite is true for people who are fundamentally bad.

I live by this advice each and every day. It’s like I’m hearing myself talk right now. Coming from you… I know I’m on the right path. You just made my day! God bless!

By highlighting specific examples and providing thorough analysis, you made it clear that achieving what one desires doesn't necessarily bring happiness and can lead to negative outcomes. Furthermore, you also addressed the recognition and utilization of opportunities from weaknesses, encouraging us to develop self-awareness and adaptability.

Wow, amazing amazing video. Your content is rich and insightful. Thank you.

To pursue goals brings us experiences that questions our values along the way. If we get to know ourselves through positioning ourselves within them. We realize our wishes already take form around us. Knowing our own wishes too are transforming and evolving within also can makes us content with what's already on the way...

Material things secondary to friendships and inner peace.

Another profound point of discussion from Accepting the Universe. These are not "complicated" issues but a reflection of a society completely lost to consumerism and the desire of wanting and the sadness of not having. Defining ourselves by what we have and yearning for what we don't have regarding possessions is an awful place to be. That said, it will take great courage and determination to "break free" from first the thinking and then the desire. What we are really missing is knowing who we are FIRST.

I wish I could give you a million likes and a million subscribers more.

Thank you very much for your videos. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge. Would find it very valuable if you could compile a reading list.

Nice video, very interesting. Thank you.

It is a broad topic and thanks for sharing. What we think we become 😉

I agree with most of your opinions here and listening to your discussions is so calming. After watching your channel, I feel a little wiser/smarter. However, frankly , I disagree with you here (not completely ). Wishes can become fulfilled goals, so wishing is not always a negative thing. So, I got to disagree with your statement , "If you 're wishing, you're not living". How do we set goals for ourselves? We first wish them to be true. Now I get it, if you only wish and envy, that is not living. And, the price can be too high when attaining some wishes (materialism is damaging). I suppose that is what you are saying here? I believe most people are of "average "intelligence and those with "average" intelligence can do very well for themselves, in the trades like plumbing , etc I don't believe there are many people who are below average in intelligence. I believe what you are describing , is simply ignorance (the under-educated). And yeah, most people (despite their IQ), can do better for themselves, if they work hard and are frugal. Great discussion! Thank you.

I like what I read about No one knows enough . Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.

Do you maybe have some book recommendations on this topic? I would like to read more, but I don't know where to start. Love the advice 😊

Nice chat with your follower ... ❤️

It's inspiring to embrace the stoic perspective that there's no inherent good or bad, only our subjective judgments. From this vantage point, even the most challenging situations offer opportunities if we choose to see them that way. When someone internalizes this outlook and actively applies it in their life, it becomes something truly admirable. It's like mastering the art of alchemy, transforming hardships into stepping stones for growth and success. So, striving for that level of awareness and resilience is indeed a worthy pursuit, a beacon of wisdom in a world often clouded by judgments and preconception :)

Thank you, again, another video that has been so helpful. I’d love to know your name, and more about your education.

Speaking from the wishing money side… I have billionaire relatives. They are very overloaded with responsibilities. They are greedy as F. They don’t care about the wellbeing of others. They have to put on an appearance in public. . In my own understanding. I tell people to be very careful. So say they want a mansion when they “win the lotto”. Well they never understood that you need two pool boys on tap. 2 house cleaners. A chef. A chauffeur. Personal assistant. It’s not peaceful anymore. It’s like being in a hotel 🏨

didn't knew that soldier boy could give me such wise advice

I can give you an example of this that doesn't hold up. Autism. Spiky neurological profile. Having gifts in one area leaves gaps in other areas. A lot of people think spectrum is one dial turned up high or low; it's not, it's like 16 dials turned up and down. I promise you the gifts don't make up for the social gaps. It cost me my entire career and ostracized me from family, friends, spouse. Didn't matter how amazingly talented I was in my role, people didn't like me because they sensed something different about me and couldn't control me so it's always adversarial.

Stay in the moment and progress.

I wished for something and my wish was granted. I was happy at the time and it changed my life perhaps in some good ways but in hindsight it was not in my best interest.

I love your videos. Can you make a video talking about dealing with bullies or people who give you a hard time for no reason? Like at a workplace or a uni etc. I have been in such a situation and if I react I'm the bad person. Your perspective would really help. I know I could find similar videos on KZread but would really like to hear your thoughts on that. By the way, I'm in thirties, a male, working in a place where all the collogues are 10 years younger than me.
