U can't decid to let go it comes naturally life isn't a swiming pool

Once my dad noticed how scared I was to experience the roller coaster. Then he gave an idea to overcome it. We are afraid only when we hold on the stuff that gives us the safe feeling. If we allow to experience it and without the dependency on the given safety feelings (our mindset), we will be enjoying instead of getting scared.

I'm an actor and I was obsessive a year ago because I couldn't book from any self tape, even community theatre (which is my roots) I couldn't book. I became obsessive because I thought it all meant that I wasn't meant to do this because I was trying so hard and having nothing come from it. I got an audition that I didn't care about and it was A COMMERCIAL WITH DREW BARRYMORE. I booked the next one after too because I felt confident in myself and let go. I've been starting to spiral and this video showed up to remind me to let go again, thank you :)

setting this as my alarm thank u

Thank you 💙🙏

Wu Wei!

I got everything I want by understanding the rules of the universe. Please take the time to understand this. Stay Uncommon!

The dog analogy is really cool!

I agree with this your inverted curve!

It's rational!

he's a real turn off, whereas the AH quote is interesting. Which tells he's trying too hard to appear like he doesn't care. So until you genuinely let go any pretence at i'm chill/cool etc. won't work.

this is sooooooooo boring.

But why did you rotate the graph?

A lot of love to you from the Beautiful Islands of Trinidad and Tobago 💞. Great content.

Osho said it before it was cool

"to teach it (mind) to achieve what it desires by giving up what it desires"

"you do this by relinquishing control, not because you feel powerless, but because you are powerful. Because you have decided to let go of things that are beyond your control"

"you decide to accept most of the things you do in your life will result in failure. And not only is that okay, it's the only way to get back to the surface to breathe. to do it again"

That’s how I fixed my game. I used to try so hard to make the opposite sex like me till I stopped and started allowing myself to be single. I started not wanting relationships anymore and suddenly I became this magnet lolll

Taking it easy can be the hardest thing. Thank you for breaking down the mechanics of why seeking meaningful romantic love has left me less happy than before. I wonder if doing nothing will lead to even more loneliness vs trying?

Holy shitballs! Im gonna order that book right now! Wow!

I've seen a version of this play out in several sports, where my first relaxed and low expectations provide surprisingly good initial results. Then, later when trying to improve those results by applying detailed techniques, things fell apart for awhile during a transition phase towards a visioned technical mastery. But that mastery was rarely achieved, because it was too easy in the beginning to feel like an actual accomplishment, so I lost interest.

This hit me in the face so fucking hard! Basically I have been trying too damn hard for years!!! That’s why I never let me desires come to me. People watch this video more than once.

I disagree. At least with the way he’s explaining it. Certainly allowing negative thoughts in the mind have a negative effect, but there is a pursuit. It take specific work towards a goal. It’s clear.

Too many adverts!

Sex, alcohol and traveling has NEVER had diminishing returns for me... Idk what to tell you.

Man I gotta listen to this everyday but then what if I want to let go too much?!?! lol

The myth of Sisyphus, basically.

amazing man.

This is the best thing I've received in my life

5 minutes? That’s a good start for freediving…

This is why I don't give a fuck anymore. 😎

Well I'm going to give it a try. See if she falls in love with me when I stop trying haha

This is Daoism.

I had a very dark last couple of days and this was a great video to watch. I need to repeat this in my brain daily because it sure seems true.

Actually the easier secret to drownproofing is to relax completely and maintain a certain volume of air in the lungs. You can then float just enough to keep your face out of the water. I have floated this way with hands and feet clasped for 10 minutes easily.

For me letting go of the desire to be loved seems to be an example.

I have this person i really like and before i kept worrying about what she thought of me and legit couldnt look at her. I started avoiding her out of fear and at one point i realized this was killing me inside.

So in my mind i accepted that i can not predict the future and that all i can really do is hope. I accepted the fact that i could litterly be told to "Get Lost" and focused purely on doing the right thing which was to apologize.

I apologized and was forgiven like its no big deal. She told me to take it easy and that i didnt need to apologize for that.

Needless to say ive fallen more in love with this women and its like i simply feel like i want to make her happy.

Paradoxically its making me happier and more postive.

I realized that thinking about yourself and your own selfish desires actually makes you less likely to get it.

But if your motivation is self trancending than it feels really relaxing and like the stakes arent that high and you feel better and more motivated.

Ive started living to make others live better and i am feeling more motivated and have better connections

Does this apply to people with adhd lol! If I let go, I’m not going to get anything done

Leagues ahead of other Channels. 👍🏻

This is Islam's philosophy. Islam means literally "surrendering" or "resignation". It's all about surrendering oneself to the reality. And God is the reality of all realities.
Took me 25 years to understand this even though i was born muslim.

Mark Manson! I feel like this has direct applications to me quitting smoking but maybe I'm just not pin pointing how...any thoughts? Please help I've been trying for months.

It's a really good video, and I agree with almost everything. However, when you said that acting confident makes you insecure, I have to disagree with you. For me, acting confident has somehow turned me into a more confident person. The reason for that is that the longer you try to become someone, the more you will turn into that person. This also goes greatly along with the saying "fake it till you make it".

this is eye opening

Who else thought of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the scene where Harry, Ron and Hermione have to pass that crazy-growing plant (don't remember the name of it) that will grow faster the more you try to fight against it?
