"If you make friends with yourself, you will never be alone." -Maxwell Maltz

I think one of the hardest things for me was OTHER PEOPLE telling me whats best for me. Most people will just be going to their jobs for the rest of their life without taking a leap. I want something more than spending 80% of my life doing things i dont like.

Tim!!!! I’m moving into my 1989 Toyota Dolphin Winnebago on Sunday!! Stationary for a bit while I set myself up with solar and get the animals acclimated to the new home on wheels! So excited!!

Facts! Quit my job and moving to a new state in 2022 with a new career goal!

nice!!! Which state you got in mind

That was awesome Tim! Simply Awesome! I've taken the leap! I'm a 53yo Black Woman who became a truck driver (18 wheeler) 8 yrs ago. I started a trucking business operating leased trucks for the past 5 years. I've hauled in all but 1 state of lower 48. But, it wasn't my passion. I was proud of myself that I overcame my fear of trucks, started a business doing it and actually was able to visit Canada. I've traveled internationally but Canada was particularly interesting. I was in an abusive marriage and I retaliated and ended up catching a felony case. I'd always wanted to see Niagara Falls. I delivered to N.F., NY, after delivering I was able to visit the US side of NF, but the Canada side appeared to be nicer. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to visit because of my felony status (20 yrs now) I brought my passport just in case. To my delight, the next morning I decided I wanted to go for a walk along the falls in Canada. I prayed, walked across the Rainbow bridge, handed my passport to the Canadian Custom Officer and the words that came out of his mouth were like sweet music to my ears: " Welcome to Canada, and enjoy your stay". Words cannot describe the feeling I had when I took my 1st step across the border! And the walk was Misty Amazing! I had read that there's a lengthy process for felons to visit Canada. I had already been to Europe and other countries but I just wasn't sure about Canada. I was nervous but I did it anyway. I've been twice.😊 Anyway, I'm on a new journey. I will be starting a new KZread channel documenting my Van life Journey TODAY! 12/20/21. I terminated my truck lease contract early on October 18th, lossed over $10k doing that, but I felt so free to do what I've been dreaming of doing for years. I purchased my minivan in August and did a no build camper conversion. I'm SUPER excited and like you, despite challenges I've chosen Team Happiness. I look forward to your videos. Thank you for reading this long testimony 😜 Peace & Blessings ✨🙏🏾Namaste

"But this is not the life I want" powerful statement!

Just in time for the new year yall. He's right. I took his advice 4 years ago and never in a million years thought I'd be living the wonderful life I'm living now. That first leap is scarier than a mf but it's worth it. I have no regrets. If I stayed with the life I had before I would definitely be depressed, broke and feeling stuck. Literally just start somewhere and the rest will follow.

Hey Tim. I've literally been binge watching your old videos on seasonal work for the past couple hours. I found out about seasonal work 3 yrs ago after stumbling across your channel. Been dreaming about doing this ever since. I couldn't take the leap back then because I was still in grad school but I have no excuses now. 2022 has to be the year. This video is confirmation that the universe is saying "just do it already!"

Thank you for this motivation! So needed this today. I want to move to Florida. My husband is not on board. We moved there in 2018 but got scared and ran back to Delaware after 8 weeks. We said we would go back to Florida once our daughter graduates. She will graduate in June 2022. I’m preparing and planning to make the move but husband keeps fighting me. We’ve been married for 22 years. I have moments I keep saying to myself, why can’t I just be happy here? We have a good life here, but I can’t keep my focus off the life I want in Florida. We live in Delaware. I need sun and warmth year round. I think I will keep watching this video over and over to keep the passion alive and fight for my dream. Thanks Tim.

I can relate so much. I’ve been married 30 yrs. Our youngest graduated last year. Hubbie and I moved to Ga in 2017 and came back in 2019. I can’t shake Georgia I enjoyed our life there. Hubbie said we would go back but I can tell buy the way things are going he is content staying in NY. The quality of life isn’t the same. I sat him down yesterday and said listen time is our most precious resource and this isn’t it. We are wasting time here on this hamster wheel. It’s time to take the leap for good and I said I don’t want you resenting me later are you on board to go for good and he said yes. I said we won’t be running back to NYC only to visit. I’m more the adventurous one and even if I’m scared I will try it especially if I can’t shake the feeling we are supposed to live there. He thinks I’m crazy to want to change up our lives for good but that’s ok ill be crazy as long as I am crazy in Georgia. Lol

I had a dream to move to the beach in Gulf Shores. I nursed it for 5 years. 2 years prior to the move, I packed up all our stuff but essentials. I did this as a message to myself that it's not a dream, it is going to happen. I lived those 5 years as if my move was already planned and in stone. I even printed off the floor plan for an apartment and drew in with a pencil where our stuff would go. I really didn't know what I was waiting on other than the right time. One day my husband (who really didn't care about the move) said we should move to Texas instead. I stood up in that moment and said "I'm going to the beach with or without you." I told him that he knew I had that dream for years. I secured a place that day, and moved on a hope and prayer. He moved too, and let me tell you it was worth everything. We LOVE it and our kids are thriving here. Best decision ever. Make the move!

Just up and moved to San Diego from New York this video makes me appreciate my decision

it's not the leap. its just we worry about the funding.

what you fear you attract, what you look at disappears. it means don't run from fear face it head on, your heat will always gravitate towards that witch it loves and that witch you fears. love concords all fears is just an illusion, a tool for survival meditate discipline your mind and body to move in the right direction manifest a good life. what you want wants you back fear, doubts, shame, worries and insecurity's don't have a place where love and joy exist.

Ok how do you physically make the leap? Decide where you are going, do you have a job lined or other income? Next where to live? It will be a hotel, preferably an extended stay while you look for an apartment or other arrangement… yes you need cash, car and basic items, but most of that is a day trip to a Wal mart or a thrift store, now just convert to lease ASAP get on with new life and be happy! Also you can move by “ pod” where your stuff is moved and stored til you find your new home …

Algorithm comment. You deserve it.

Loved this video, timothy. Very good insights. Thank you.

This is what I needed to hear today, my friend. Especially the part where you talk about how sometimes a good life isn't a fulfilling life. I'm at the point of "I'm doing it!" not because I'm miserable but because I know that there is so much more I need to be doing, a life I need to be living that isn't this safe, boring prison. I am definitely scared, but January 3rd is the date I've set for taking that big step out into the wilds, so to speak. Thanks, Tim. 💗

love that hoodie

A leap is a big thing whereas one foot in front of the other is the smallest amount then repeat with the other foot. There is a saying "The climb up that mountain starts with the first step." Beyond that mountain are other mountains to conquer. It's has a similarity to life itself. The fun is in the path itself, not waiting 'til death closes in.

This hits home in a real way. Needed to hear this. Thank you man!

John Deere swag in that green hoodie and TAKIN THAT LEAP listening to Tim and his hometown grin. You look blessed and LIVING the Dream of Joy!🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🆙🆙🆙 Got me grinnin ear to ear of how simple the hard things. are to start. Dont Look Back.💪💪💪

I love this!! This is exactly what I'm doing in my life now too. I've just come to the realization that I'm not going to be stuck or refuse to take action on my life... Just like your classic video "Just Buy The Ticket!". I watch it every so often still to this day! Thanks Tim so much!

You are on fire Tim !!! Loving these recent videos and content. You are hitting the nail on the head. I am stuck in a rut, been taking steps toward my dreams (traveling), but the closer I get....fear is kicking my butt. Second guessing....kicking my butt. I really ..... really .... appreciate your videos. They help. They are helping me put one foot in front of the other. It is hilarious about the hiking trail. I have been nose to the grind stone.....getting out of debt.....and unfortunately lost the things I love. One of which was hiking. Out of shape now. Hiking intimidates, but when I put one foot forward and get on that trail....I feel alive again. I will slowly get back in shape (I am 53....yep...older we get you don't use it you loose it for sure). But little by little, going to keep moving forward, and appreciate your channel so much to give me a nudge when I need it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This is is an aaaamazing Video! Great Job thank you for sharing this. Seriously I think it's so well put I can't even put into words how perfect I think it is!

A dream without action is a fantasy What most people think is “ what if it goes wrong rather than what if it goes right “? Elon Musk said Tesla had a 10% chance of success! He was one week from losing it all ! Ok it’s not easy for anyone I’d like to add that many have their dream life and don’t realize it, I live near Clearwater beach FL, a real dream vacation for most, was there this morning, guess how many were out in perfect weather? Yep near zero…and many there looking at their phone!
