i only discovered your account like a week ago and i’d like to say, watching your videos have such a calming effect on me and i am genuinely inspired by you. i’ve already binge watched your entire channel and i’d just like to say thank you and keep it going and i hope you remember me at 1 mil
Again I’ve always loved how real this guy feels when he talks and shares experiences, like ya he isn’t some old timer that’s giving out old wisdom but he is like everyone else getting by, being aware of everything and sharing and learning as he goes, been here since 30k love that this community is growing
flowstate i just want you to know the impact you’ve had on me over the past couple months, you gave me the motivation i needed to drop my whole friend group (toxic people), helped me be more aware and help others more (not that i wasn’t considerate before but now i’ve found myself helping out old people at the train station and stuff like that), helped me prioritize my mental health before other useless stuff, there’s more which i’m not gonna post in a youtube comment section but i owe so much to you so thank you, thank you so much
Keep up the good work ❤ As long as you're seeing improvement that's a huge benefit on your mental health. I find myself remembering that every person I cross paths with in Toronto all live their own unique lives with their own experiences, etc - it reminds me we're all a person. Good for you for getting away from those negative friends, it can be hard to isolate yourself from something you're so familiar with in order to grow - but sometimes it's necessary. Way too long of a comment, but good luck and best wishes homie 🤘
This video actually made me get up and try animating for the first time. It wasn’t a great animation, it was just a small character walking, but I like it and I’m proud I was able to actually try it. Thank you for making this video, keep up the great work!!
Good job! I wanted to animate for years but never got around to it… kept telling myself I’d do it later. I only forced myself to do it when I took a class, lol! It’s a lot of work but it’s fun and seeing the finished result feels good :)
That’s the situation I’m kinda in right now too but I’m trying to get out of it and try animating more. It’s also very rewarding to see the outcome and it can be a fun sort of waiting to see it complete!!
I was once in your shoes ( a stick ) and one of my greatest motivators was asking myself, "What else would I be doing with this time?" Would I be playing video games? The thing I've done for days on end for years? What do I really lose by going to the gym for roughly an hour or longer? I am only gaining something. Something real. Applying that mindset to other things that actively improve me is an incredible driving force. Getting others to see that now is the true challenge, and I think you've hit the mark with this video. Thanks for bringing others up with you, keep killin in man.
@@realixx9375 Another thing I've grown to learn is that working on yourself and improving is a form of self love. So that if you love yourself you owe it to yourself to, and perhaps others you love, to continue to improve.
Just for the record, I really like your background music for your videos and I feel like they add a lot to the overall vibe. So even though you might feel like you are not improving as much as you perhaps could, it's important to recognize the impact of your work so far
I relate to this video so so much. It’s literally like you were speaking to me, the audio production, working out daily, bettering your life. All things I’ve been working on. Thank you for this. Also sick Minecraft world.
I love your channel. I've been subscribed to you for several months now and all I have to say is, "WOW". Your edits, music, lessons all tie together to make one fantastic video. I feel a bit sad every time you say, "Alright guys, I'll catch you later." It feels a bit lonely after your videos ends. You're the only youtuber to make me feel that way about a video ever. I check your channel every day just to make sure I don't miss one of your videos. Really, it's phenomenal. I would also love to see more of them world that you were in. It looks sick. Keep going man! 👍
I've been struggling with social anxiety for a while now, i've gotten increasingly annoyed at how it seems to stops me from forming bonds the way i'd want to. From what i've heard the most straight-forward fix seems to just face your fears as they become less and less threatening each time. This video motivates furhter me to try and put myself in those uncomfortable situations to help myself, Thank you
This is a thing that I'm sure has different solutions for different people, but one big factor that helped me overcome horrible anxiety was finding a hobby that is sort of communal but individual at the base. For example, I got extremely into rock climbing, like absolutely engulfed in it, but after a few months I realized how social I was being to the other people in the gym just because we're all doing the same things so it's relatable. I know it's hard at first, but if you're mutually interested in the topic you'll eventually become long term friends just doing fun shit together. Whether it's as niche as climbing or just normal weight lifting you get to meet people in a more relatable way while improving a skill or yourself is an incredible way to grow.
I really want to speak to a girl that is in the same block as me, i know that she has a crush on me and she plays volleyball outside the block every evening like 8pm or something like that, but i just cant overcome my anxiety or whatever i have, even tho i really want to...
@@Dafix best to take a chance while you have the opportunity, time is fleeting. I'm speaking from experience. If you don't try, you will regret it. If you try, it has the potential change the entirety of your future. But don't force anything to happen, let relationships evolve naturally, when you feel the time is right.
You've just randomly popped up in my recommendations. I was amazed by how relatable you were with the fitness part, and then the music came. You gave me literal chills, since gym and music were always in the priorities of my life. Thanks for the video, you gave me a huge boost in motivation, and made me realize that it really is time to fix my life.
Thanks man my life just felt like it was going downhill, one thing after the other, and it just happend to be that the first thing I saw when I opened youtube to distract myself from reality was your video and it just felt like a wake up call, genuinely needed those wise words for me to open my eyes and what I want, I want to fix my life and do things that will inspire others just like you have, much love to you may we all find peace and open our eyes to what needs fixing.
ive been up late scrolling for the past hour just trying to ignore the stress of everything but then i found this channel and ive been watching all the videos, then i found this one. i dont cry easily but this, this changed everything. it gave me the motivation i needed to start changing my life around for the better and i just want to say thank you, i have not wanted to do something like this in a long time but now i finally believe that i actually can, youre an amazing person man, keep going.
I am so glad I ran across this, I watched one of your modpack videos, and it was so good I actually still have it in another window, its been open for weeks now haha. I never realized you held this much wisdom, and its very inspiring, as an aspiring producer/musician myself, I can relate to you and this really honestly is helping me out. I really appreciate you as a person for putting the effort into making this. One of the few good videos I've seen a long long while. Thank you.
Thank you for making this. I have been accumulating many bad habits over the last few months(one of them being a bad sleep schedule. casually watching this vid at 4:30am -going straight to bed after writing this comment) and I genuinely think this 8 minute video will lead me in the direction to fix those issues with my life. The music, the cinematic shots and your voice are so calming and motivational I clicked this video because I saw minecraft but I came away, inspired, with a new mental state on life. ❤
i think its awesome how so many people have this as an internal monologue and for you to put it out and remind us that were not alone was something tons of folks definitely needed sm so thank you :] the cinematography is amazing btw!!
This very much so resonated within me, I appreciate your thoughts that you let out and how level minded you are, I love how you can think to aspire these things. I am in the same boat, its never ending excuses but there's degrees where I make my life more comfortable so in turn I can feel the motivation to once again work on the projects I am interested in. These concepts of how you deal with your time is just life, and that's how life works for anything to happen with your peace in mind. I really needed to see this, I am ever thankful I checked CZcams. Thank you for your words, and thank you ever so much for sharing it. That to me is valuable and its something I've wanted to do for a long time so maybe its time for me to help me help myself and loved ones. Much love to you.
I can really relate to that feeling you mentioned in regards to the whole music production stuff. Trying to find the right frequencies, the right mix for drums and all that. It is really a journey that you go through and every little step you take to discover something new is just the best feeling you can have during your projects. Btw thanks for the video man :)
Thank you man, this video has changed so much for me. And helped direct me to making more music and making it better and more seriously. Also, The track at the end and throughout the video (especially the end part) is insane, I thought you wouldn't be that good but holy shit you could easily get millions of streams if you keep it up man. Thank you
thanks for this man. im a uni student just gone into 2nd year and ive been going gym every now and again with my room mates, going out for walks or bike rides, working on either my side hustle or uni work, but eventually putting all that aside to either play games or watch stuff. being really unproductive basically. first year was a let off because it was just a practice year preparing everyone for the next 2 which will count for our final grades, so now i really need to get my act together. ive been going gym more in the past couple months, getting my side hustles sorted and running in prep for the new year of uni, and going a real routine going. this video has ticked it over for me. thank you.
Wow. This is truly the video I needed. I'm in a little bit of a rough patch right now in my life, kind of putting every thing in perspective. Thank you man for this video. Really makes me feel like I can get a grip of my life finally. For anyone that feels alone, scared, or lost, I'm telling you, it does get better. You can do it.
i always seem to listen to your videos when i am almost at my lowest point mentally and i’m glad i have this kind of content to listen to. At least i understand i’m not alone. Even when i feel alone.
I love your videos man the backgrounds always just chill and then the messages you give are always real and inspiring. truly happy i found your channel :) I was here when you had 4k subs ❤
This video spoke to me, so i’m hoping to speak back. “fixing” your life does take a lot of time. It’s going to be a long and difficult process, but it does get easier. If you add to much to your “plate” because it feels empty or you’re wasting away, it can crush you and you’ll be back to where you are. Keep in mind, you have time. I don’t know your situation, but i can relate. I’m 19, didn’t go to college, and have been working out of my parents house since highschool. I’m planning on moving in with my girlfriend at the start of next year. (i’m also tall and skinny and can’t put on weight either) The point i’m trying to make is, take your time and enjoy the process. Fixing my life at 2am after a random burst of self improvement hits, won’t last because you set the expectations too high. This video was definitely a great way to open people’s eyes to the fact we could be doing more and feeling better, and i thank you for spreading that message. TLDR take your time with everything, we have our whole lives ahead of us. and don’t feel like you need to “fix” anything, because nothing is broken. we’re just chugging along and it feels weird not doing anything.
Been here in and out for a couple of months with your channel and just wanted to mention how grateful I am for your advice. It brings me a lot of peace to sit down and just listen from time to time, I hope your channel continues to grow so more people can experience this.
i found your channel earlier today and man... thank you. i am going trough some hard times right now and your videos are a huge help. thank you for giving so much motivation to me and everybody who needs it. keep it up man!
Only came across this channel a few months back and this channel has helped me as a person The vid format you use is so relaxing but informative and relatable Recently I’ve been struggling with social anxiety and your vids have been helping me so keep up the amazing vids!
Love the content. This came at a time I am starting to work out at the gym and I have so many pressures put upon myself at 18 to learn how to drive and get a better job because my current one isn’t paying and I wanna move out with my girlfriend someday. It’s all a lot. As someone who really struggles with procrastination in the same way, where I was never taught discipline and only am moved by motivation. It’s a huge struggle. But I’m motivated as a whole to change my life, and develop discipline in the specific nuances of what I’m doing whether that be working out or driving. Thank you for the small little boost for today to make it easier to get out of bed Flow. Really enjoying season 2 - SlaySoup
I didn't know I had to watch this! Thank you! I've been trying a lot of things, what to do, how to do it, but for a lot of them I just gave up because it wasn't giving me what I've expected when I started... The thing is, it's not about the goal, but about the process, and I've been learning that these past couple years. I hope you can actually start your music career and get what you want and expect for that! Big hug!
I can relate to this in a huge way. I started a class for home inspection in early 2021. It probably should have taken me 6 months to a year max to finish and get going. A lot has happened since then, but I only just got my license this year and I still haven't gotten started. I've been trying to learn more about why it's so hard for me to get going at this. It doesn't make sense how someone can desire something better but have such a hard time making it happen. I listened to one of Mel Robbins podcasts and one of the people she was talking to said that it was almost like feeling shitty had become comfortable. We get too comfortable in life I believe. Even knowing that I won't get better unless I challenge myself and make myself uncomfortable, it's still hard to make myself do hard things. I try to remind myself that I've done hard things before, but it doesn't always work. They say procrastination is a trauma response. A little tip I learned is that when you catch yourself procrastinating, try doing what you should be focused on for 5 minutes and chances are you'll keep doing it. Thanks for uploading this! I'm probably going to procrastinate by watching all your videos now! lol
CZcams music or both would be amazing for Flowstate and his fans. Just remember not to over extend yourself so much you lose the passion for whatever you choose in life. Discipline and drive are needed but fruitless without the joy of works complete. Man music from Flowstate would be so impactful for so many people as this channel has been. Best of luck my friend and those fans of his taking on their passions as well.
Dude you know whats crazy, ive also been slacking in gym lately, and ive also recently been trying to learn how to make music just like you mentioned , and im being lazy on that too when i could be unlocking my full potential. So I can heavily relate to this vid because of both those points, and as some other comments say, every time I find myself drifting from my path and goals I see one of your vids that are always super relatable that happen to drop at the perfect time & pinpoint exactly where im going wrong and that always gets me back on track
Hey! I just came across your video here on CZcams; the vibration that you send off with the things you are speaking of is phenomenal. I'd love to chat with you. Keep doing what you are doing, this type of thinking is what is going to get you to your dreams 💪🏼
It's been two months since I found your channel and I am so glad that I did. Your videos are so inspiring and I hope that you keep up the grind and soon get to 1 mil!.
Damn I didn't expect to relate to you as much as I did. I'm somehow who is trying to make music, was an art major, and struggle so much with my gym routine. Thanks for the video, it's theme is something I've come to realize already but hearing it again from someone else is something that is really motivating.
I really like these videos, I've seen a couple before but for some reason I wasn't subscribed... I'm in a situation where I don't really know what to do with my time, and I end up basically wasting it. It's really nice to know there's someone who's actually trying and succeeding in proceeding to do things that they enjoy, hopefully I'm going in that direction too. Also yay another fan of ODESZA!
rlly glad that u are so activly thinking about yourself. I have been doing it for some time and it really works. It makes me motivated and most of all happy. Please man take care and enjoy live. Glad that you succesfully moved.Keep it giing man and live life to the best u can❤❤
I've been pretty lazy this days, i really wanted to do something at my home, but i couldn't, watching this video is making me want to do something about my life and not waste my free days on only videogames, you are literally my psychologist. Thank you so much!
Your videos are just out of this world calming A TRUE combination of experience and soothing musical background I have binge watched your entire channel and is looking forward for new ones Hope you get the success you deserve
your content is just always a blessing and gives yourself a lot to think about and perhaps, like you said, even change something to the positive thanks a lot, seriously
i really love this channel, i only just discovered it but it's so calm and soothing to watch and really makes me think about everything more positively and in a different way.
I have been having a hard time lately and my heart rate tend to increase when I get nervous and angry. But just 2weeks ago, I found your channel and I'd like to say that you have helped me stay sane during this time. Thank you
First video seeing from you and its hitting home really hard. I am 25, been working full time for 5 years now, no college, manual labor, etc etc, and just this week I start my first 3 day work week at my 9-5. The other 4 days (thursday through sunday) I plan on going to yard sales and thrift stores then reselling the stuff I find there, as well as working on website development and music production. I am so excited to take this step, I am so ready for it, and I want to encourage anyone else looking to make a jump like this to do it! (if you can afford it and make it happen of course!)
Wooooow !! Keep creating wonderful videos with a deep message. Thank you for this words ! I'm moving this week to keep my job & it will be a whole new adventure being by my own with neighbours. Your voice is so relaxing to hear. I wish you the best with your missions !
as a new artist that just started making music not too long ago, i released my first single a few days ago and im very happy with the way it came out. i have always procrasinated music because part of me felt like i wouldn't be good enough but i never really tried until recently and i love it. i've come to realize that music is an art and like you said everyone is a noob at the beginning including me lol but i'm happy that i actually took action on making music and releasing my first song was a big acomplishment to me, especially with how hard i am on myself i really liked the way it came out. this video randomly popped into my reccomended and honestly im glad it did because i needed this. you earned a sub man and i'm glad your getting the recognition you deserve and as with your music, i took the time to listen to a few of your songs and they sounded really good your very talented and have a lot of potential. i wish you nothing but the best man.
i can relate to the music thing. I've been pondering on little tidbits/progressions in my room for the last few years to the point where I've become very knowledgeable about jazz and music and all that. But now is the time to acquire the skills connected to publishing polished pieces of music. I find it hard, developing a new skill and sticking to it. Thanks for the video.
I'm so glad the algorithm sent me your channel my way. It's such a nice change to just have a chill and wholesome channel. It feels like we just chillin talking. Wish you the best with your channel and music homie and thanks for the content
I really like your ideas and the calm way in which you project them. Unlike the rest of generical "self-improvement" youtubers (not saying that you are one but it's the label I'd choose for the topic), you can really tell you put some effort in your channel/videos, and not trying to make an easy, attention-grabbing cashcow like everyone else. Really appreciate it !!
"I'm sorry about the length of my comment, it is me expressing my feelings after the video" When I was 13 I noticed I was too skinny, and too short. When I was 14 I realized school was going to get harder if I wasn't social. At 15 I learned the world is harder than I gave it credit for, and learned there is a darkness that as a child you are blessed to not understand. At 16 I didn't want to be social, I couldn't cope with the workload and the stress of home became a pit. So I tried to take shelter in school and my friend's houses. I had been used to being in different peoples houses since I was 9 or 10. Having had to restart somewhere else and have it taken away after getting established. Yet being in comfort that being taken from the new home and state, sent me back to my original state in the same home. Having matured from when I was last at home. When I became 17, the stress of my two parents fell unto me. Forced to deal with money, to take care of my home, for the last few years my first dog which my parents hate to deal with. Forced to rush life and get my own sh*t together. Progressively through everything, trying to stick to working out, having gone through multiple life changing events, becoming immune to empathy then struggling to build it again, wanting to not be seen after being seen for wrong reasons, portraying myself wrong everytime I try to do right. Noticing how much funnier I am to others the more I suffer without saying anything. Getting stuck in dreams for seeminglessly infinite time, reliving horrific moments, briefly seeing futures that i want to see. Understanding life was one of my first goals to achieve, I discovered the whole point, was the Quest you took to make the best of your life, to find out the meaning, the answer has always been in the question. From sleeping soundly to discovering mental issues. From being scared of the dark, to being safe in it, to being paranoid from anything, to letting my guard down due to not caring anymore about what happens. When I become 18, or When I see fit, or When I'm happy with myself. I want to change. I want to improve. I have such high goals, everyone has such high standards, such high hopes. I've listened to music my whole life trying to understand how I can make others happy by making it myself. I can't even find where to start half of my goals. To protect myself, to constantly find new ways to add useful tools in my arsenal, whether its a phone app to help me learn, or a notebook to track what i fixate my brain on every month. My attention span is ridiculous, my morales are nonexistent, but equally stronger than anything else. Loss, Confusion, and the fear of Death, among a multitude of reasonings- have caused me to mature myself as fast as I can, to learn and soak up as much as I can. I went from not talking, to talking, to becoming a listener in everyday life, soaking up knowledge while constantly using my Brain to think and analyze every situation I'll ever be in. The regret of not being there for those I've lost. And the regret of those I've helped that turn onto me. And the pain of trusting myself, just to turn my back on everything I loved and knew once. At some point, I realized that there's more to comprehend than one person can learn. Alone, that is. And once I figured that out, I already realized I had been alone for all that I had ever known. I may be funny to others, and sometimes I help them stick to each other. And them all become happy. But what good is glue, without anything to be used for. But what good is a therapist, without any more patients to help. But what good is a kid with potential, without stability or self esteem. Or the will to keep going when all you get is nowhere, and constant negativity. I thought I was positive once. Some people I won't let see a negative side of myself, and others have only seen that. I can't make my own decisions quick enough, but I can change my life constantly over the course of 10 years, just to realize I hadn't even began my Journey yet. Yes I have dreamed of going to M.I.T since I was only in elementary school. And yes it started with a fascination of technology, plenty of years of research, classes, and apps, and books, and programs. But they've gotten me nowhere, I can't even take standardized tests correctly. I ace them when I think I'm failing them and I can only turn in assignments that are 100% right or else I never will turn it in. Bad habits are the story of my life, it's worse than spending years working out just to discover you were never close to a perfect form. The amount of unlearning I've had to do in life already is daunting. But I don't want to give up, even though I have goals to go to a perfect college, to make music, to save people, to reach a dream physique of not a twig, to master calisthenics, to make beats, music, songs, animations, to make computer hardware, to take up swordsmanship, to learn languages, to master techniques, to learn my own body, to protect my life, and live for others. To find love in someone who won't lie when they tell me they Truly Loved Me as they walked away. ____________________________ I'm sorry if you read all of this. But the slim chance that you did means I was heard. That's all I've ever wanted... This is my story, These are my truths.
I can really relate to the 1st topic you spoke about with being on the skinnier side. You’ve inspired me a lot recently, so let’s get BIG TOGETHER BRO! Also thank you, I love watching your videos every time they come out!
Really relatable. The worst part is I’ve certainly shown glimpses of excellence - I’m an all-American in 2 sports and finishing up my masters but I’m 27 now working a really boring, decent paying job and barely getting by after contributing to retirement and laziness is really holding me back from my full potential. It’s frustrating knowing what kind of person you CAN be and comparing it to the person you are currently. Side note, ODESZA is my favorite and I have dreams of producing music too :) Did you produce that outro song? I definitely see inspiration from ODESZA there… sounds great!
flow I just want to say thank you for what you do. everytime i feel lost and dont know how to handle things, i watch your videos and each one does wonders. best of luck for the channel
This is the first video I've watched of you and the section about you talking about making music hit me really hard. I've been a composer as a side passion for many years with very little to show that. Mainly cuz I doubt my ability to compose awesome cinematic compositions for movies and games. And working 40 hours a week and coming home tired as hell doesn't help either. I know I definitely have to put more work into my craft but resistance is always there to stop me and question my abilities to go after what I really want and succeed at it. I wish I had the same drive as you and a lot of other musicians have, but I know I'm not the only one that feels stuck as well. I wish you the best of luck in your journey in creating music and hope you make it big someday! I'm hoping that for myself too, but of course I am my own worst critic and says otherwise. Regardless, we all deserve to go after what we really want and we are worthy of it! Go out there and make it happen!!!
To see some of your honest thoughts and philosophy has been very interesting and valuable. I find the struggle with exercise, music, and other personal projects very relatable.
Most people-myself included-watch motivational videos, read up on how they could improve, maybe even go as far as to make plans for an "improvement journey", but I bet most people never ever act upon these tips, just getting the dopamine hit from watching these and leaving it as is. The key really is to just "act upon it".
I would just like to send a MASSIVE thanks your way, over the months ur channel has actually helped me and motivated me, to continue to try to live my best life. I'm actually starting to think about my future, and I gotta say-IM EXCITED FOR IT. Thanks flowstate ❤
This was a very delightful watch. I'm going through the same thing with the weight situation. During senior year of high school i decided I was going to gain weight and i did gain some weight but when freshman year of college came around I kind of just plateued. Finally, during the summer right now I've been really getting my act together and have managed to gain 15 pounds in 2 months. So almost 2 pounds a week. Even though that is alright, I know I could do better, and plan on trying to make it 20 pounds a month. I think thats a good healthy goal. Going to the gym has pretty much been very consistent, but you can only get so far with bad nutrituion. Thanks again for making a great and relatable video.
Only just discovered your channel and wow what a video this was, beautiful calming affect yet very inspiring keep it up not down I always say. Hope to see more.
Just found this video on my recommended vids. I normally don't write a lot of comments on videos, but I feel like I should on this. What I want to adress is first of all: I can totally relate to your speaking. I am also a small music producer who is for now just trying to stay consistent with weekly uploads of remixes, but I want to do more original stuff and put it out there. Such as you I am still using a lot of samples here and there which is by any means not very good for any aspiring original music. To get to the point, I am inspired to change things up and work on small things but stay consistent. I love the way you put this into this video!
First of all Great Video man the scenes were amazing. Story time: I am finally starting college soon my life consisted of guidance I always expected someone to guide me and basically tell me what to do. WELP you can't, there were times i was alone and realize that i was actually "alone" only for that brief moment (i have good people around me), it hit so hard on my self that i need to make choices soon. Managed to get to a school/university that i wasn't expecting on passing and finally here I am, InfoTech trying to learn coding while school days aren't here yet. I am yearning to be a future programmer but damn every time i sit down and watch some form of coding tutorial i end up not finishing the video and end up doing something else basically procastinating i really need to put in effort, one of your lines hit me "Stop being so lazy, stop making excuses, if you put in mediocre effort you're gonna get mediocre results" -flowstate i'll try my best hopefully, goodluck to everyone else
I feel like i am at the exact same place as you, as a 15 year old teen i am surely not at the exact same place, but i feel a lot of press on me that i need to change my life. I will try my best, i know that much but the hard thing is knowing what is hard enough, when can i relax, when do i go all out. good luck to any other person in the world who feels like something is missing or like they need to change.
Thank u for the videos i kinda love them. As a german student I like ur videos based on the content and ur voice bc it makes me feel my english is getting better
Meantime me watching this video while laying in bed and eating chips 😂 tho i have to say your content is really wise and beneficial, and knowing you do it out of passion and ambition is just so awesome
great video man. i've been feeling like this for a long time. i want to break some of the bad habits that i have, but i usually just end up procrastinating and being lazy about it
Bro made me cry 😭. Like tear up. I lost my mom this year in February and I been just wrestling with myself lately. I can relate with what you said. Like man we get so caught up in life we end up loosing ourselves in pieces. Thank you man. Thank you.
It’s actually scary how everything in this video applied to me. I’m still in high school but I really want to make it in the world as a music artist. I was making boring content on CZcams but I want to come back to that too and try a new approach to make things that are more enjoyable for people to watch. I just keep cheating myself though. At the beginning of summer I said I’d start going to the gym (not completely my fault there’s transportation prob.), but gym aside I started slacking on home work outs too. I even stopped running every day. As I’m writing this my first day back at school is like 3 days. I’ve been living my life really sluggish and I truly want to see and feel the change. I want new experiences and truly having the comfort I desire. I’m really gonna do it. Starting that first day of school I’m not slipping up once I am a changed person and I’m only going up now no matter what. It was a nice watch so thanks and have a good day
there's nothing i can say that nobody else has, but firstly the thumbnail is gorgeous dude. masterpiece video, touched my soul at every point you made. i just graduated high school and ive struggled with finding a creative path to stick to for forever but right now I'm juggling starting a youtube channel and producing music seriously. point being, it felt like this video was posted by some future version of myself. hope this video trends.
Thanks flow to have this channel and telling us your messages, for me you are always a "source d'inspiration" and now that i know that you are a beatmaker you give me even more motivation to make music and post it on my youtube channel, i can't wait to see your music and if i can help you to improve your beat I'd be happy to help you keep going!👍👏 You should make a another ytb channel to post your beat and having feedback in return !
A line i randomly read online really stuck with me is "all this time travel media about how the tiniest actions in the past can have massive effects. And yet people barely ever talk about how tiny steps they take to make a possitive change in the present, could have massive effects into the future when watching/reading about these stories". It was something along those lines, tho not exactly. It was phrased more succinctly in the actual post I read.
i only discovered your account like a week ago and i’d like to say, watching your videos have such a calming effect on me and i am genuinely inspired by you. i’ve already binge watched your entire channel and i’d just like to say thank you and keep it going and i hope you remember me at 1 mil
that’s cringey i apologise

It's scary how every time I drift from my path you release a video that puts me back on track. Love your videos, and this channel is the best :)
Have you watched one piece, all of it?
@@liambailey3578 Yea I've watched all of it twice. I'm also up to date on the mange, I read the spoilers for 1090, have you? :)
Thank you so much!
Again I’ve always loved how real this guy feels when he talks and shares experiences, like ya he isn’t some old timer that’s giving out old wisdom but he is like everyone else getting by, being aware of everything and sharing and learning as he goes, been here since 30k love that this community is growing

Why does Minecraft always create the most, relaxed, down to Earth, and wise people, or am I just making that up as a die hard Minecraft fan
flowstate i just want you to know the impact you’ve had on me over the past couple months, you gave me the motivation i needed to drop my whole friend group (toxic people), helped me be more aware and help others more (not that i wasn’t considerate before but now i’ve found myself helping out old people at the train station and stuff like that), helped me prioritize my mental health before other useless stuff, there’s more which i’m not gonna post in a youtube comment section but i owe so much to you so thank you, thank you so much
Keep up the good work ❤ As long as you're seeing improvement that's a huge benefit on your mental health. I find myself remembering that every person I cross paths with in Toronto all live their own unique lives with their own experiences, etc - it reminds me we're all a person.
Good for you for getting away from those negative friends, it can be hard to isolate yourself from something you're so familiar with in order to grow - but sometimes it's necessary.
Way too long of a comment, but good luck and best wishes homie 🤘
This video actually made me get up and try animating for the first time. It wasn’t a great animation, it was just a small character walking, but I like it and I’m proud I was able to actually try it. Thank you for making this video, keep up the great work!!
Good job! I wanted to animate for years but never got around to it… kept telling myself I’d do it later. I only forced myself to do it when I took a class, lol! It’s a lot of work but it’s fun and seeing the finished result feels good :)
That’s the situation I’m kinda in right now too but I’m trying to get out of it and try animating more. It’s also very rewarding to see the outcome and it can be a fun sort of waiting to see it complete!!
I was once in your shoes ( a stick ) and one of my greatest motivators was asking myself, "What else would I be doing with this time?" Would I be playing video games? The thing I've done for days on end for years? What do I really lose by going to the gym for roughly an hour or longer? I am only gaining something. Something real. Applying that mindset to other things that actively improve me is an incredible driving force. Getting others to see that now is the true challenge, and I think you've hit the mark with this video. Thanks for bringing others up with you, keep killin in man.
That's a great way of thinking about it, thank you
Sure it makes logical sense but despite wanting to badly, I don't have the motivation to actually do shit
@@realixx9375 Another thing I've grown to learn is that working on yourself and improving is a form of self love. So that if you love yourself you owe it to yourself to, and perhaps others you love, to continue to improve.
@@MrJokes_ don't have the motivation or energy to not hate myself. I've tried but can't keep it up for more than 3 days regardless of how small it is
I'm happy you're fixing your life!
Just for the record, I really like your background music for your videos and I feel like they add a lot to the overall vibe. So even though you might feel like you are not improving as much as you perhaps could, it's important to recognize the impact of your work so far
I relate to this video so so much. It’s literally like you were speaking to me, the audio production, working out daily, bettering your life. All things I’ve been working on. Thank you for this. Also sick Minecraft world.
I love your channel. I've been subscribed to you for several months now and all I have to say is, "WOW". Your edits, music, lessons all tie together to make one fantastic video. I feel a bit sad every time you say, "Alright guys, I'll catch you later." It feels a bit lonely after your videos ends. You're the only youtuber to make me feel that way about a video ever. I check your channel every day just to make sure I don't miss one of your videos. Really, it's phenomenal. I would also love to see more of them world that you were in. It looks sick. Keep going man! 👍
I've been struggling with social anxiety for a while now, i've gotten increasingly annoyed at how it seems to stops me from forming bonds the way i'd want to. From what i've heard the most straight-forward fix seems to just face your fears as they become less and less threatening each time. This video motivates furhter me to try and put myself in those uncomfortable situations to help myself, Thank you
This is a thing that I'm sure has different solutions for different people, but one big factor that helped me overcome horrible anxiety was finding a hobby that is sort of communal but individual at the base. For example, I got extremely into rock climbing, like absolutely engulfed in it, but after a few months I realized how social I was being to the other people in the gym just because we're all doing the same things so it's relatable. I know it's hard at first, but if you're mutually interested in the topic you'll eventually become long term friends just doing fun shit together. Whether it's as niche as climbing or just normal weight lifting you get to meet people in a more relatable way while improving a skill or yourself is an incredible way to grow.
I really want to speak to a girl that is in the same block as me, i know that she has a crush on me and she plays volleyball outside the block every evening like 8pm or something like that, but i just cant overcome my anxiety or whatever i have, even tho i really want to...
@@Dafix best to take a chance while you have the opportunity, time is fleeting. I'm speaking from experience. If you don't try, you will regret it. If you try, it has the potential change the entirety of your future.
But don't force anything to happen, let relationships evolve naturally, when you feel the time is right.
You've just randomly popped up in my recommendations. I was amazed by how relatable you were with the fitness part, and then the music came. You gave me literal chills, since gym and music were always in the priorities of my life. Thanks for the video, you gave me a huge boost in motivation, and made me realize that it really is time to fix my life.
Thanks man my life just felt like it was going downhill, one thing after the other, and it just happend to be that the first thing I saw when I opened youtube to distract myself from reality was your video and it just felt like a wake up call, genuinely needed those wise words for me to open my eyes and what I want, I want to fix my life and do things that will inspire others just like you have, much love to you may we all find peace and open our eyes to what needs fixing.
"The music is right in front of you as you listen to it, so listen to why it sounds good and try to apply those principles to your own project„
At the beginning of the video: "This is new and funny. I love it!"
At the end: "I'm in tears of equal happiness and sadness."
ive been up late scrolling for the past hour just trying to ignore the stress of everything but then i found this channel and ive been watching all the videos, then i found this one. i dont cry easily but this, this changed everything. it gave me the motivation i needed to start changing my life around for the better and i just want to say thank you, i have not wanted to do something like this in a long time but now i finally believe that i actually can, youre an amazing person man, keep going.
I am so glad I ran across this, I watched one of your modpack videos, and it was so good I actually still have it in another window, its been open for weeks now haha. I never realized you held this much wisdom, and its very inspiring, as an aspiring producer/musician myself, I can relate to you and this really honestly is helping me out. I really appreciate you as a person for putting the effort into making this. One of the few good videos I've seen a long long while. Thank you.
Thank you for making this. I have been accumulating many bad habits over the last few months(one of them being a bad sleep schedule. casually watching this vid at 4:30am -going straight to bed after writing this comment) and I genuinely think this 8 minute video will lead me in the direction to fix those issues with my life.
The music, the cinematic shots and your voice are so calming and motivational
I clicked this video because I saw minecraft but I came away, inspired, with a new mental state on life. ❤
i think its awesome how so many people have this as an internal monologue and for you to put it out and remind us that were not alone was something tons of folks definitely needed sm so thank you :]
the cinematography is amazing btw!!
This very much so resonated within me, I appreciate your thoughts that you let out and how level minded you are, I love how you can think to aspire these things. I am in the same boat, its never ending excuses but there's degrees where I make my life more comfortable so in turn I can feel the motivation to once again work on the projects I am interested in. These concepts of how you deal with your time is just life, and that's how life works for anything to happen with your peace in mind. I really needed to see this, I am ever thankful I checked CZcams. Thank you for your words, and thank you ever so much for sharing it. That to me is valuable and its something I've wanted to do for a long time so maybe its time for me to help me help myself and loved ones. Much love to you.
I can really relate to that feeling you mentioned in regards to the whole music production stuff. Trying to find the right frequencies, the right mix for drums and all that. It is really a journey that you go through and every little step you take to discover something new is just the best feeling you can have during your projects.
Btw thanks for the video man :)
Thank you man, this video has changed so much for me. And helped direct me to making more music and making it better and more seriously. Also, The track at the end and throughout the video (especially the end part) is insane, I thought you wouldn't be that good but holy shit you could easily get millions of streams if you keep it up man. Thank you
thanks for this man. im a uni student just gone into 2nd year and ive been going gym every now and again with my room mates, going out for walks or bike rides, working on either my side hustle or uni work, but eventually putting all that aside to either play games or watch stuff. being really unproductive basically. first year was a let off because it was just a practice year preparing everyone for the next 2 which will count for our final grades, so now i really need to get my act together. ive been going gym more in the past couple months, getting my side hustles sorted and running in prep for the new year of uni, and going a real routine going. this video has ticked it over for me. thank you.
You're videos really help motivate me to make my own content, love them so much!
Wow. This is truly the video I needed. I'm in a little bit of a rough patch right now in my life, kind of putting every thing in perspective. Thank you man for this video. Really makes me feel like I can get a grip of my life finally. For anyone that feels alone, scared, or lost, I'm telling you, it does get better. You can do it.
i always seem to listen to your videos when i am almost at my lowest point mentally and i’m glad i have this kind of content to listen to. At least i understand i’m not alone. Even when i feel alone.
I love your videos man the backgrounds always just chill and then the messages you give are always real and inspiring. truly happy i found your channel :) I was here when you had 4k subs ❤
This video spoke to me, so i’m hoping to speak back. “fixing” your life does take a lot of time. It’s going to be a long and difficult process, but it does get easier. If you add to much to your “plate” because it feels empty or you’re wasting away, it can crush you and you’ll be back to where you are. Keep in mind, you have time. I don’t know your situation, but i can relate. I’m 19, didn’t go to college, and have been working out of my parents house since highschool. I’m planning on moving in with my girlfriend at the start of next year. (i’m also tall and skinny and can’t put on weight either) The point i’m trying to make is, take your time and enjoy the process. Fixing my life at 2am after a random burst of self improvement hits, won’t last because you set the expectations too high. This video was definitely a great way to open people’s eyes to the fact we could be doing more and feeling better, and i thank you for spreading that message. TLDR take your time with everything, we have our whole lives ahead of us. and don’t feel like you need to “fix” anything, because nothing is broken. we’re just chugging along and it feels weird not doing anything.
Been here in and out for a couple of months with your channel and just wanted to mention how grateful I am for your advice. It brings me a lot of peace to sit down and just listen from time to time, I hope your channel continues to grow so more people can experience this.
i found your channel earlier today and man... thank you. i am going trough some hard times right now and your videos are a huge help. thank you for giving so much motivation to me and everybody who needs it. keep it up man!
Only came across this channel a few months back and this channel has helped me as a person
The vid format you use is so relaxing but informative and relatable
Recently I’ve been struggling with social anxiety and your vids have been helping me so keep up the amazing vids!
Love the content. This came at a time I am starting to work out at the gym and I have so many pressures put upon myself at 18 to learn how to drive and get a better job because my current one isn’t paying and I wanna move out with my girlfriend someday. It’s all a lot. As someone who really struggles with procrastination in the same way, where I was never taught discipline and only am moved by motivation. It’s a huge struggle. But I’m motivated as a whole to change my life, and develop discipline in the specific nuances of what I’m doing whether that be working out or driving. Thank you for the small little boost for today to make it easier to get out of bed Flow. Really enjoying season 2 - SlaySoup
Atta boy keep it up Soup
I didn't know I had to watch this! Thank you! I've been trying a lot of things, what to do, how to do it, but for a lot of them I just gave up because it wasn't giving me what I've expected when I started... The thing is, it's not about the goal, but about the process, and I've been learning that these past couple years. I hope you can actually start your music career and get what you want and expect for that! Big hug!
I can relate to this in a huge way. I started a class for home inspection in early 2021. It probably should have taken me 6 months to a year max to finish and get going. A lot has happened since then, but I only just got my license this year and I still haven't gotten started. I've been trying to learn more about why it's so hard for me to get going at this. It doesn't make sense how someone can desire something better but have such a hard time making it happen. I listened to one of Mel Robbins podcasts and one of the people she was talking to said that it was almost like feeling shitty had become comfortable. We get too comfortable in life I believe. Even knowing that I won't get better unless I challenge myself and make myself uncomfortable, it's still hard to make myself do hard things. I try to remind myself that I've done hard things before, but it doesn't always work. They say procrastination is a trauma response. A little tip I learned is that when you catch yourself procrastinating, try doing what you should be focused on for 5 minutes and chances are you'll keep doing it.
Thanks for uploading this! I'm probably going to procrastinate by watching all your videos now! lol
thanks you so much , I really enjoy your content , its makes me relax and all suddenly everything becomes alright
CZcams music or both would be amazing for Flowstate and his fans. Just remember not to over extend yourself so much you lose the passion for whatever you choose in life. Discipline and drive are needed but fruitless without the joy of works complete. Man music from Flowstate would be so impactful for so many people as this channel has been. Best of luck my friend and those fans of his taking on their passions as well.
Dude you know whats crazy, ive also been slacking in gym lately, and ive also recently been trying to learn how to make music just like you mentioned , and im being lazy on that too when i could be unlocking my full potential. So I can heavily relate to this vid because of both those points, and as some other comments say, every time I find myself drifting from my path and goals I see one of your vids that are always super relatable that happen to drop at the perfect time & pinpoint exactly where im going wrong and that always gets me back on track
I discovered your channel through your Minecraft modpack but now I realize how much more there is to your content than just that. Thank you man.
just found this channel and i really love your unique take on this type of commentary video. good shit!
love your vids bro they always hit so deep
Hey! I just came across your video here on CZcams; the vibration that you send off with the things you are speaking of is phenomenal. I'd love to chat with you. Keep doing what you are doing, this type of thinking is what is going to get you to your dreams 💪🏼
It's been two months since I found your channel and I am so glad that I did. Your videos are so inspiring and I hope that you keep up the grind and soon get to 1 mil!.
Damn I didn't expect to relate to you as much as I did. I'm somehow who is trying to make music, was an art major, and struggle so much with my gym routine. Thanks for the video, it's theme is something I've come to realize already but hearing it again from someone else is something that is really motivating.
I really like these videos, I've seen a couple before but for some reason I wasn't subscribed... I'm in a situation where I don't really know what to do with my time, and I end up basically wasting it.
It's really nice to know there's someone who's actually trying and succeeding in proceeding to do things that they enjoy, hopefully I'm going in that direction too.
Also yay another fan of ODESZA!
Hey, I was binging your videos and it actually made me feel alive. Thanks man!
You know I think finding these videos during the worst times in my life was the best thing that could've happened to me
Thank you, I needed to hear that today:)
love you man. thanks for the motivational content!
rlly glad that u are so activly thinking about yourself. I have been doing it for some time and it really works. It makes me motivated and most of all happy. Please man take care and enjoy live. Glad that you succesfully moved.Keep it giing man and live life to the best u can❤❤
I've been pretty lazy this days, i really wanted to do something at my home, but i couldn't, watching this video is making me want to do something about my life and not waste my free days on only videogames, you are literally my psychologist.
Thank you so much!
Your videos are just out of this world calming
A TRUE combination of experience and soothing musical background
I have binge watched your entire channel and is looking forward for new ones
Hope you get the success you deserve
Thank you!
your content is just always a blessing and gives yourself a lot to think about and perhaps, like you said, even change something to the positive
thanks a lot, seriously
I absolutely love how your videos are made. A combination of anecdotes, minecraft, and inspiration. Lovely vibes.
This is so meditational and really helpful. Thank you so much for making these videos
i really love this channel, i only just discovered it but it's so calm and soothing to watch and really makes me think about everything more positively and in a different way.
I have been having a hard time lately and my heart rate tend to increase when I get nervous and angry. But just 2weeks ago, I found your channel and I'd like to say that you have helped me stay sane during this time. Thank you
First video seeing from you and its hitting home really hard. I am 25, been working full time for 5 years now, no college, manual labor, etc etc, and just this week I start my first 3 day work week at my 9-5. The other 4 days (thursday through sunday) I plan on going to yard sales and thrift stores then reselling the stuff I find there, as well as working on website development and music production. I am so excited to take this step, I am so ready for it, and I want to encourage anyone else looking to make a jump like this to do it! (if you can afford it and make it happen of course!)
Wooooow !! Keep creating wonderful videos with a deep message. Thank you for this words ! I'm moving this week to keep my job & it will be a whole new adventure being by my own with neighbours. Your voice is so relaxing to hear. I wish you the best with your missions !
as a new artist that just started making music not too long ago, i released my first single a few days ago and im very happy with the way it came out. i have always procrasinated music because part of me felt like i wouldn't be good enough but i never really tried until recently and i love it. i've come to realize that music is an art and like you said everyone is a noob at the beginning including me lol but i'm happy that i actually took action on making music and releasing my first song was a big acomplishment to me, especially with how hard i am on myself i really liked the way it came out. this video randomly popped into my reccomended and honestly im glad it did because i needed this. you earned a sub man and i'm glad your getting the recognition you deserve and as with your music, i took the time to listen to a few of your songs and they sounded really good your very talented and have a lot of potential. i wish you nothing but the best man.
this is such a great video dude! very chill and inspirational! cool to hear you're also into music!
Thank you man I really needed this
i can relate to the music thing. I've been pondering on little tidbits/progressions in my room for the last few years to the point where I've become very knowledgeable about jazz and music and all that. But now is the time to acquire the skills connected to publishing polished pieces of music. I find it hard, developing a new skill and sticking to it. Thanks for the video.
I'm so glad the algorithm sent me your channel my way. It's such a nice change to just have a chill and wholesome channel. It feels like we just chillin talking. Wish you the best with your channel and music homie and thanks for the content
I really like your ideas and the calm way in which you project them. Unlike the rest of generical "self-improvement" youtubers (not saying that you are one but it's the label I'd choose for the topic), you can really tell you put some effort in your channel/videos, and not trying to make an easy, attention-grabbing cashcow like everyone else. Really appreciate it !!
"I'm sorry about the length of my comment, it is me expressing my feelings after the video"
When I was 13 I noticed I was too skinny, and too short.
When I was 14 I realized school was going to get harder if I wasn't social.
At 15 I learned the world is harder than I gave it credit for, and learned there is a darkness that as a child you are blessed to not understand.
At 16 I didn't want to be social, I couldn't cope with the workload and the stress of home became a pit. So I tried to take shelter in school and my friend's houses. I had been used to being in different peoples houses since I was 9 or 10. Having had to restart somewhere else and have it taken away after getting established. Yet being in comfort that being taken from the new home and state, sent me back to my original state in the same home. Having matured from when I was last at home.
When I became 17, the stress of my two parents fell unto me. Forced to deal with money, to take care of my home, for the last few years my first dog which my parents hate to deal with. Forced to rush life and get my own sh*t together.
Progressively through everything, trying to stick to working out, having gone through multiple life changing events, becoming immune to empathy then struggling to build it again, wanting to not be seen after being seen for wrong reasons, portraying myself wrong everytime I try to do right. Noticing how much funnier I am to others the more I suffer without saying anything. Getting stuck in dreams for seeminglessly infinite time, reliving horrific moments, briefly seeing futures that i want to see. Understanding life was one of my first goals to achieve, I discovered the whole point, was the Quest you took to make the best of your life, to find out the meaning, the answer has always been in the question. From sleeping soundly to discovering mental issues. From being scared of the dark, to being safe in it, to being paranoid from anything, to letting my guard down due to not caring anymore about what happens.
When I become 18, or
When I see fit, or
When I'm happy with myself.
I want to change. I want to improve. I have such high goals, everyone has such high standards, such high hopes.
I've listened to music my whole life trying to understand how I can make others happy by making it myself. I can't even find where to start half of my goals.
To protect myself, to constantly find new ways to add useful tools in my arsenal, whether its a phone app to help me learn, or a notebook to track what i fixate my brain on every month. My attention span is ridiculous, my morales are nonexistent, but equally stronger than anything else.
Loss, Confusion, and the fear of Death, among a multitude of reasonings- have caused me to mature myself as fast as I can, to learn and soak up as much as I can. I went from not talking, to talking, to becoming a listener in everyday life, soaking up knowledge while constantly using my Brain to think and analyze every situation I'll ever be in.
The regret of not being there for those I've lost. And the regret of those I've helped that turn onto me. And the pain of trusting myself, just to turn my back on everything I loved and knew once.
At some point, I realized that there's more to comprehend than one person can learn.
Alone, that is. And once I figured that out, I already realized I had been alone for all that I had ever known.
I may be funny to others, and sometimes I help them stick to each other. And them all become happy.
But what good is glue, without anything to be used for.
But what good is a therapist, without any more patients to help.
But what good is a kid with potential, without stability or self esteem. Or the will to keep going when all you get is nowhere, and constant negativity.
I thought I was positive once. Some people I won't let see a negative side of myself, and others have only seen that.
I can't make my own decisions quick enough, but I can change my life constantly over the course of 10 years, just to realize I hadn't even began my Journey yet.
Yes I have dreamed of going to M.I.T since I was only in elementary school. And yes it started with a fascination of technology, plenty of years of research, classes, and apps, and books, and programs.
But they've gotten me nowhere, I can't even take standardized tests correctly. I ace them when I think I'm failing them and I can only turn in assignments that are 100% right or else I never will turn it in.
Bad habits are the story of my life, it's worse than spending years working out just to discover you were never close to a perfect form. The amount of unlearning I've had to do in life already is daunting.
But I don't want to give up, even though I have goals to go to a perfect college, to make music, to save people, to reach a dream physique of not a twig, to master calisthenics, to make beats, music, songs, animations, to make computer hardware, to take up swordsmanship, to learn languages, to master techniques, to learn my own body, to protect my life, and live for others.
To find love in someone who won't lie when they tell me they Truly Loved Me as they walked away.

I'm sorry if you read all of this. But the slim chance that you did means I was heard. That's all I've ever wanted...
This is my story,
These are my truths.
I can really relate to the 1st topic you spoke about with being on the skinnier side. You’ve inspired me a lot recently, so let’s get BIG TOGETHER BRO!
Also thank you, I love watching your videos every time they come out!
Really relatable. The worst part is I’ve certainly shown glimpses of excellence - I’m an all-American in 2 sports and finishing up my masters but I’m 27 now working a really boring, decent paying job and barely getting by after contributing to retirement and laziness is really holding me back from my full potential. It’s frustrating knowing what kind of person you CAN be and comparing it to the person you are currently.
Side note, ODESZA is my favorite and I have dreams of producing music too :) Did you produce that outro song? I definitely see inspiration from ODESZA there… sounds great!
Thank you so much for making these!
flow I just want to say thank you for what you do. everytime i feel lost and dont know how to handle things, i watch your videos and each one does wonders. best of luck for the channel
This is the first video I've watched of you and the section about you talking about making music hit me really hard. I've been a composer as a side passion for many years with very little to show that. Mainly cuz I doubt my ability to compose awesome cinematic compositions for movies and games. And working 40 hours a week and coming home tired as hell doesn't help either.
I know I definitely have to put more work into my craft but resistance is always there to stop me and question my abilities to go after what I really want and succeed at it. I wish I had the same drive as you and a lot of other musicians have, but I know I'm not the only one that feels stuck as well.
I wish you the best of luck in your journey in creating music and hope you make it big someday! I'm hoping that for myself too, but of course I am my own worst critic and says otherwise.
Regardless, we all deserve to go after what we really want and we are worthy of it! Go out there and make it happen!!!
This is some deep shit to talk about while having minecraft in the background,its beautiful honestly
To see some of your honest thoughts and philosophy has been very interesting and valuable. I find the struggle with exercise, music, and other personal projects very relatable.
Most people-myself included-watch motivational videos, read up on how they could improve, maybe even go as far as to make plans for an "improvement journey", but I bet most people never ever act upon these tips, just getting the dopamine hit from watching these and leaving it as is. The key really is to just "act upon it".
Bro stop calling me out 😭
@@youtubewatcher4955 I've called out myself too. Even whilst writing this I still actively choose not to act upon it, it's wild.
@@youtubewatcher4955lets call you out again. Did you go act upon it?
I would just like to send a MASSIVE thanks your way, over the months ur channel has actually helped me and motivated me, to continue to try to live my best life. I'm actually starting to think about my future, and I gotta say-IM EXCITED FOR IT.
Thanks flowstate ❤
Ngl this is exactly what I actually needed.Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Dude! This was so helpful. I make music and started lifting too but the only thing holding me back was my own laziness. Thank you man
This was a very delightful watch. I'm going through the same thing with the weight situation. During senior year of high school i decided I was going to gain weight and i did gain some weight but when freshman year of college came around I kind of just plateued. Finally, during the summer right now I've been really getting my act together and have managed to gain 15 pounds in 2 months. So almost 2 pounds a week. Even though that is alright, I know I could do better, and plan on trying to make it 20 pounds a month. I think thats a good healthy goal. Going to the gym has pretty much been very consistent, but you can only get so far with bad nutrituion. Thanks again for making a great and relatable video.
Only just discovered your channel and wow what a video this was, beautiful calming affect yet very inspiring keep it up not down I always say. Hope to see more.
Just found this video on my recommended vids. I normally don't write a lot of comments on videos, but I feel like I should on this. What I want to adress is first of all: I can totally relate to your speaking. I am also a small music producer who is for now just trying to stay consistent with weekly uploads of remixes, but I want to do more original stuff and put it out there. Such as you I am still using a lot of samples here and there which is by any means not very good for any aspiring original music. To get to the point, I am inspired to change things up and work on small things but stay consistent. I love the way you put this into this video!
First of all Great Video man the scenes were amazing.
Story time: I am finally starting college soon my life consisted of guidance I always expected someone to guide me and basically tell me what to do. WELP you can't, there were times i was alone and realize that i was actually "alone" only for that brief moment (i have good people around me), it hit so hard on my self that i need to make choices soon. Managed to get to a school/university that i wasn't expecting on passing and finally here I am, InfoTech trying to learn coding while school days aren't here yet. I am yearning to be a future programmer but damn every time i sit down and watch some form of coding tutorial i end up not finishing the video and end up doing something else basically procastinating i really need to put in effort, one of your lines hit me
"Stop being so lazy, stop making excuses, if you put in mediocre effort you're gonna get mediocre results" -flowstate
i'll try my best hopefully, goodluck to everyone else
I feel like i am at the exact same place as you, as a 15 year old teen i am surely not at the exact same place, but i feel a lot of press on me that i need to change my life. I will try my best, i know that much but the hard thing is knowing what is hard enough, when can i relax, when do i go all out. good luck to any other person in the world who feels like something is missing or like they need to change.
one thing i love is the music its so calming along with your words its so relaxing but inspiring
you're videos are so inspiring, it's crazy how a guy talking with Minecraft in the background can affect people so deeply.
Thank u for the videos i kinda love them.
As a german student I like ur videos based on the content and ur voice bc it makes me feel my english is getting better
The way you tackled this topic is honestly masterful
Meantime me watching this video while laying in bed and eating chips 😂 tho i have to say your content is really wise and beneficial, and knowing you do it out of passion and ambition is just so awesome
great video man. i've been feeling like this for a long time. i want to break some of the bad habits that i have, but i usually just end up procrastinating and being lazy about it
Bro made me cry 😭. Like tear up. I lost my mom this year in February and I been just wrestling with myself lately. I can relate with what you said. Like man we get so caught up in life we end up loosing ourselves in pieces. Thank you man. Thank you.
I know this comment is old but I'm sorry to hear that, I hope the past several months have been better for you
It’s actually scary how everything in this video applied to me. I’m still in high school but I really want to make it in the world as a music artist. I was making boring content on CZcams but I want to come back to that too and try a new approach to make things that are more enjoyable for people to watch. I just keep cheating myself though. At the beginning of summer I said I’d start going to the gym (not completely my fault there’s transportation prob.), but gym aside I started slacking on home work outs too. I even stopped running every day. As I’m writing this my first day back at school is like 3 days. I’ve been living my life really sluggish and I truly want to see and feel the change. I want new experiences and truly having the comfort I desire. I’m really gonna do it. Starting that first day of school I’m not slipping up once I am a changed person and I’m only going up now no matter what. It was a nice watch so thanks and have a good day
Best encouraging advice ive gotten in a long time, i really needed that
there's nothing i can say that nobody else has, but firstly the thumbnail is gorgeous dude.
masterpiece video, touched my soul at every point you made. i just graduated high school and ive struggled with finding a creative path to stick to for forever but right now I'm juggling starting a youtube channel and producing music seriously. point being, it felt like this video was posted by some future version of myself. hope this video trends.
Thanks flow to have this channel and telling us your messages, for me you are always a "source d'inspiration" and now that i know that you are a beatmaker you give me even more motivation to make music and post it on my youtube channel, i can't wait to see your music and if i can help you to improve your beat I'd be happy to help you keep going!👍👏 You should make a another ytb channel to post your beat and having feedback in return !
A line i randomly read online really stuck with me is "all this time travel media about how the tiniest actions in the past can have massive effects. And yet people barely ever talk about how tiny steps they take to make a possitive change in the present, could have massive effects into the future when watching/reading about these stories". It was something along those lines, tho not exactly. It was phrased more succinctly in the actual post I read.
Im going into my high school senior year and I just wanted to say that you channel is really comforting. I wish we were friends.
as a young guy who has a big dream of making it in a music production this hit home
to be honest this has motivated me so much
thx for this and continue the good for man
Those shaders and cinematics.. Wants me to start doing this again. Maybe something more relaxing to watch. Thank you flowstate!
better then therapy, I honestly feel like you understand our problems! subscribed
amazing channel, keep up the grind man! ✌️
