Oh I hear you loud and clear on this one! I am physically disabled ( not wheelchair bound) and the voice of my x-husband kept whispering, “you aren’t disabled. Go out and get a job like a decent American” ( he was a cop and very controlling and emotionally abusive). So I challenged myself and went back to school to become a paralegal (I was always interested in law and I couldn’t go back to being a nurse because of my physical limitations). I go my “dream job” in a DAs office and it ended up being my job from hell. I was miserable and depressed and my health got even worse. My personality did not jive with that environment. Needless to say I was fired ( cuz I refused to quit) . It was a hard blow but I took the time after to reflect on who I was at the job and why it didn’t work and then focused on what do I want to do . Long story but I took up painting and my current husband built me an art studio and now I enjoy every day. I actually go to bed looking forward to tomorrow.

One of your previous videos in which you touched on these topics changed my life. I changed my relationship with food, now eating three times per day when I'm working as my job is physical and I cycle 16 miles to and from work and then eating twice per day when I am off as I don't require more. I was obese and struggled daily now I feel healthier and fit. My car now moves once per week as I cycle to work. My wardrobe has two sets of work clothes, two sets of home clothes and I wear on rotation. All these things have simplified my life and made my mind much healthier in the process.

Sending gratitude. I am new to community and in my desperation to survive a divorce after 30 years and to find peace of mind. I was led to Venerable Nick. I learned to surrendered to the pain once I heard you speak. I also learned to do the thought work necessary to be still. Thank you!! I learned to sit in stillness to discover purpose; that I matter and I'm forgiven. I am learning to have a new relationship with self. Thank you. Thank you for sharing 💕

I studied the original Buddhist texts for two years. I am endlessly blessed to have known Buddhas teachings. It helped me to have a conscious direction for my mind. But I do believe that Buddhism is harmful in a sense that it pushes the idea that life is simply suffering and that you should leave it (with the desires that sustain it). Now I'm not a Buddhist an not interested in it but using some tools Buddha gave me is such a blessing. My message is that LIFE IS NOT SUFFERING. Life is such a bliss and when you leave the ignorance you don't suffer. You don't have to be a monk for that. Just my two cents that came spontaneously. May you be happy. Yes you who read this.

Hi Ven. Nick. I have been following your videos for the past 2-3 years and I had followed your advise particularly on this topic (How to Simplify Your Life). I honestly felt happier and felt more contented in my life. But at the same time, I felt sad and depressed because of how people looked at me. When I went to the mall to get my watch fixed, the salesperson was ignoring me and looked at me as if I was a homeless person. It was spring at that time and I was wearing my hoodie and I layered it with a puffer jacket, sweatpants, and a cap. For some reason, I felt disrespected and degraded just because I wasn't stylish or conformed with society's way of clothing themselves especially if you're a lady. My question is, how can I balance intentionality with society's expectations? Thank you so much and I wish you the best.

I know being true christian; Muslim; Budihist is a process which isn't linear or simple way; but I'm always impresed; interested & like those Budihist monks; their devotion & sacrefication for humanbeing to the better world & themsefes. They are my model to real life; specialy you & your community. GOD will render to them who by patient continounce in well doing seek for peace; glory; honour & imortality; enternal life.

I went through severe poverty in my childhood. So it is understood that such a life was without my will and guilt. It was a very difficult period that I barely survived. An easy life can make us sluggish, unmotivated, it can make us numb, but if we keep reality in our head, then it's okay to live comfortably, in the lull of civilization. For some, poverty brings enlightenment and frees them from the excess burden created by possessions, and for some it is just an additional burden that they should not carry. Thank you for sharing your experiences. I wish you success in finding all the grace you seek and spreading it to others.

It seem like she was the only person in my life that I felt truly loved me, but I also realize that no one else is able to love us like our Mother. I've tried to find friends that feel closer than friends because I feel very alone in life. Unfortunately, I have to work a lot and this eats up a lot of my time. How can someone find a virtuous friend?

There are lots of ways to make friends, but while you are making them, be clear as who you are and your boundaries. People think I have become a recluse but I am not, I just enjoy my space and quiet times. All the very best in finding genuine caring friends. ❤

Just smile and say hello to people and you will be surprised how that will break the ice and get a conversation going. I also made a pledge that if I’m invited somewhere I will go and finally I prayed and asked God to bring people into my life who respect and treat me well and whom I can learn from and guide me on the right path. Grief takes time to heal be gentle with yourself. 😉

I love your explanation of telling everyone how to simplify living Nick. And I think the explanation of the intended purposes of things in life is beautiful. I would love to share the following with you and others who might read this comment: always think positive, have priorities, exercise is walking, cycling and running, rest when tired, listen to your body's signs, have a routine, put your spiritual life before the material world pleasures as you are only a human for about 100 years and a spiritual being forever, do what you love doing, share chores, personal hygiene, let bygones be bygones. It is a new day. Make sure your past doesn't haunt you in the present. Do not let your yesterday ruin your today. Always forgive. Don't hold grudges. Express gratitude. Life is given by God. So put your health first. Self care is very important. Eat less, talk less, sleep less. Funnily, when you eat less, you naturally speak less. You want to preserve your energy. You also naturally sleep less. You sleep more when you eat more and you only speak a lot when your stomach is full. If you eat less, there will be fewer problems. Not to mention, when you eat less, you have to relieve yourself of waste less. It is a proven fact that if you eat less, you are actually utilising your body and your organs less. The more you make your body work the faster the process of ageing will become. Eat only 3 meals or 2. Never snack in between. You should know what to eat and what not to eat. When you eat, make sure a portion of your meal is green vegetables and green leaves. If you eat green vegetables, it will detoxify your liver. If you drink a lot of water, it will detoxify your kidneys. When you do not eat the right food, you are actually putting your vital organs in jeopardy. Some people cannot sleep unless their stomach is full. To go to sleep immediately after eating is literally a sin against your body. Life is all about practice. When you are given knowledge, you need to put that knowledge into practice. If you don't do that, you will be lowering yourself in esteem, spirituality and character. According to great mystics of all religions, if you have knowledge and you don't practise it, it brings calamity upon you. Whatever knowledge you have, you are bound to practise it. If you don't practise it, you put yourself in trouble. n order to have a comfortable lifestyle, a peaceful lifestyle, you have to make sure that people around you are not hurt by you. Have a very healthy relationship with everybody, a relationship in which you have this principle law of give and take, forgive and forget. Support others when they need your support - and when you need their support, you don’t have to ask for it. It will come by itself. Our happiness is not in keeping ourselves happy; rather, it is related to the happiness of other people as well. You cannot afford to be reckless in your utterances. Speak gently. Because when you speak, what is hidden in your heart comes out through your words. Do not discuss others. Whatever so-and-so is doing is none of my business. Why should I discuss anybody? If you have a problem with somebody, then the right thing is to take the matter up with the concerned person. IT is generally believed by everybody that elders are wiser. You become wise with age. Getting grey doesn't mean getting wiser but this is what people generally believe. Accept the fact that you have made a mistake. The only way to rectify what you have done is not to repeat it. Say "I am sorry". Be determined not to do it again, but do not verbalise it. When you verbalise it, half of your determination will be gone. Dedicate your life to something. There is probably much more. This is what I come up with for now. Much love. xx

I have a problem with packing a lot of projects into my day and even week to where I burn out. I do a lot of chores around the house and when I see things need to be done, I try to do them right away. I am learning to let things go until later. Right now, the yard needs mowing, but that can wait until I take care of other things first like going to the dentist and picking up my mom's medication. I am learning to slow down.

Thank you soo much. I love watching your videos. 🙏

I just cannot thank you enough for making these videos this is one of the best so far I mean I love all of them but this one is really incredible because it’s so appropriately true and I’m going to listen probably more than one time and I’m going to share it with others thank you

You're welcome ray :) thank you.

Homemade vegetable soup and rice for breakfast, a mid-morning snack of fruit, a small bowl of bean soup (chick peas or mung beans) for lunch, fruit in the evening if I feel hungry, and a cup of warm almond milk with nutmeg and honey to help me sleep. That's basically my diet.

Greetings from Florida. Found this channel during a very distressful terrible time last March 2021. This channel was very helpful and it stuck!!! Still a work in progress. But I've stayed open to learn new daily habits for a better more mindful life. Thank you Nick!!! Your work in these videos is really helping people. BTW... I'm still shaving my head even though I'm not in pandemic lockdown anymore haha. So simple and too easy. I love it!

I just adore these videos Venerable Nick. I get so happy when I see ones like this pop up. There is just too much of everything in this world. Being a highly sensitive person, it feels even heavier. I look forward to loving with more intention with my wardrobe. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart ❤💙💜 for these much needed messages.

Thank you so much Jane. Yes there is definitely a lot going on at the moment. That's why it's so important for us to develop our mindfulness practice and foundation daily. Stay safe my friend :)

Another great video! I have been learning so much from you and have been trying to implement these things into my life. I have social anxiety so I don't have friends, especially friends who I could share my spiritual path with, so it's really nice to have these videos to turn to. Thank you!
