    I love this message. The relationship with ourselves will be our longest one, we're the one person that we have to live 100% of our days with, so yes - choose you. Listen to your heart and your feelings, live life to its fullest. Surround yourself with those who make your life feel brighter. Love you Mr C! ❤️

    Well thats the best message delivered over 6 minutes and 43 seconds, that hits the spot! A great message to everyone, mirrors are not just for the vain, but are a true reflection of the person you are on the outside. Your message is about that and the inner you and it really hits home. A true growth message. Thank you Gary for your words, your thoughts, and for simply being you. Take care, stay safe thanks for posting.

    I today uploaded my first ever video... it has taken me so long to gain the confidence, and I can honestly say it's down to watching you (and Adam of course). Your videos are therapeutic and a personal inspiration. I'm about the same age as you and only now getting to know the true me, what I like, who I like and more importantly who I don't! Thank you for the motivation Gary 😁

  • @charlottesreadsthings211

    I recently had the obvious realisation that ourselves are the only people we have to be with 100% of the time. Made me think a lot more and work on just being kinder to myself and taking myself out on little solo trips. Hope you're do it well, Gary!

    I'm glad I found this video. I really needed this. Thank you for this. It's so easy to get caught up in the ones we idolize and look up to, but we tend to suffer due to losing sight of our inner champion.

  • @MrLourie
    @MrLourie Před 2 lety

    Hello Gary, I agree completely. Personally, I was never a fan of reality tv, and celebrities don't excite me much, except for Barbra Streisand whom I've admired and followed since I discovered her music when I was just 13. Anyway, you've offered us another wise and kind message and I wish you continued peace.

    Hi Gary, Someone told me I should look at myself in the mirror every morning and say out loud “I love myself just the way I am” because you need to love yourself before anyone else, self acceptance is difficult 😔🤗❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    Hi, sweet Gary! I'm so glad you sent out this message. I had any sense of self-love, self-care, or self-confidence drilled out of me by controlling parents. Only now, while I'm in my 60s, have I been able to see the harm in that, and truly start putting some weight behind ... me! Ugh... It's so hard, but worth it. Love you! 🫂

  • @liamwoz1861
    @liamwoz1861 Před 2 lety

    Don’t see what anyone could say was bad about you Gary. Keep choosing you because I think you’re definitely worth it. Old video so you won’t see it but thought I’d say it anyway. A few months ago I was done! With everything, couldn’t see a way forward I’m also 41 and think I was probably having a midlife crisis or something but then it was like a lightbulb moment, I walked out on my job and started over with my happiness at the centre of everything so now if I’m not happy I remove myself from it and I’m much happier for it. I’m rambling but yes keep choosing you Gary

  • @KB-kp8dv
    @KB-kp8dv Před rokem

    Thank you Gary. Because of this video I walked away from my emotionally abusive (now ex) partner. A few weeks ago, I was in floods of tears and logged on to youtube. I was looking to escape the nightmare I was in for a little bit and this video just popped up on my recommended. It was like a sign telling me, 'its ok to choose you.' I was so scared to walk away because I thought I was selfish to put my own mental health above someone else's. But your words helped to give me the courage to leave and I've never felt so free. So thank you lovely Gary, you are a wonderful person.

    Your spot on Gary...I have experienced that more so during the pandemic. By nature Iam a giving person and I feel like its taken me along time to realise that I really haven't given to myself. I don't know of its out fear of being hated or what. I mean I would always give up my seat for someone else, I have never been one not to, a lot of people don't. It's the only analogy I can think of that describes how I feel. There are definitely times in my life I should have not got up and give my seat away. Take care 🙂

    Hopefully we all reach an age where we do what works for us. Follow your passions, enjoy the things that bring you happiness and also not to give a damn about what others think about the way you live your life. I’m also in the forties club and I think a lot of us realize that what we’ve been through doesn’t define us and we do change and that’s a good thing - it’s called evolution.

You are a so called CRUTCH for me. You as well as Adam are what my family calls "MY HAPPY PLACE". When I needed boosted up or I want to escape the real world I watch your videos and I get through. I believe we all have that THING that we go to. I dont ever want you to turn away from your reflection anymore. It is beautiful and you are a beautiful person.

We so busy making sure are friends and family or doing well and happy that we forget to stop and ask ourselves “Am I okay?” “Do I feel uncomfortable/anxious?” We deserve the happiness we give to others.

I’m in my forties as well and there comes a point where you just get tired of playing the game. If you don’t want to go somewhere don’t go even if it makes you look bad, don’t be afraid to be yourself. There’s only one you and like you said, you may have to live with your self for a very long time, enjoy it, love yourself for who you are. ♥️

    It's so easy to think kindly of others, but it is often difficult to extend the same kindness to ourselves. Thank you for this beautiful message! Sending hugs from the US!

    A fantastic video Gary. I only wish my granddaughter came to this realization. No matter when anyone tried to help and tell her she was worth something it didn't matter, she left this world in her 23rd year. I miss her so badly, Your videos help me a lot.

    Gary, it took me many years to learn to "Choose Me." We all have the little nitches we get lost inside of throughout our lives. Mine was different than yours, but yet somewhat the same. My earlier years were filled with heartbreaks of all sorts because of things I chose and situations with people who did nothing but pull me down. I grew up in the country and we were very poor and when I moved to the big city, I somehow needed to find another ME to fit in. I did nothing bad or against the law, but things I did not really like and people I really did not enjoy being around. My life continued like this for years. I then began to realize that I was not doing myself any favors by doing what I thought was expected of me and ignoring the things that simply made me happy and content with myself and MY life. It was so good to see you so happy and content and I hope this continues for you. 😥😁🧡
