    No need to apologize. Also this video will likely help more people than any vid you have ever posted. It takes way more courage to be vulnerable and speak the truth then to try and hide behind a ripped and aesthetic physique.
    So many people think that just because you look amazing or have a large following that your going to be happy but its simply not true.
    Also those of you who are Overweight and think that if you lose weight you’re gonna be happy it’s simply not true. As cliche as it sounds whats on the inside is way more important than whats on the outside. ⭕️

    Will,
    Hey man. I am a recent subscriber, and your content has already changed my life in a positive way. So, I would like to start off by saying that
    if you never made another video, your content will continue to help kings get shredded for a long, long,.. long time.
    Next, I remember hearing in many Buddhist lectures, that depression is when we are living in the past. Anxiety is when we are living in the future.
    As someone who went through major depression (hospitalized), and now I have gotten away from drugs, alcohol, pretty much every vice, I do not see any psychologists, I do not take any prescription drugs either.. I got shredded, mentally.
    I had some help, but I had to do the hard work myself, and you can too!
    I understand how we are your motivation, but I truly believe that you have already fulfilled your goal, and your body is trying to tell you, it is time to find the next step in your purpose.
    Also, very important. You DO NOT need to stay shredded to motivate us!
    Bro. I am 280lbs. You could gain 50 lbs, still be shredded compared to me, and I will still watch your content!
    I do work a lot, I just eat too much, and skip too much exercise. But, the motivation you give to keep trying, and
    keep reaching higher, is another reason why I refuse to give up.
    You mentioned feeling like a fake, and that you are letting us down.
    There are many leaders who experience the things you talk about, not feeling good enough, not feeling like your team is winning, like you are letting people down, or being a fraud.
    You are not.
    Many leaders feel like that a lot of the time, and it is ok to feel that way.
    That is the voice inside you that wants everyone to reach their peak.
    When you feel that isn't happening, brain might tell you that it's your fault.
    It is not!
    You are not a fraud, you are not an imposter.
    We kings want you to be happy, and healthy too.
    That includes being happy in your OWN body, and your mental health.
    If you want to relax on the v-shred, bro, we respect that! Do it!
    Your best appeal is your positive attitude, not your perfect shred!
    I would like to also, humbly, suggest the following. I hope it helps!
    1. Being alone is different from being lonely.
    IMO you are noticing that you are alone because you were focused on your work.
    Now that the focus is gone, you are noticing your environment more. It is OK to be alone!!
    2. Taking down time is ok. We may support you, but you do not have to run yourself into the ground for us!
    3. You have already left a complete legacy in the videos. I dare say, you completed this mission.
    Celebrate! Kings everywhere are getting shredded!
    4. You may also be burned out with dopamine. Take time away from social media. Take time away from all of the stimulation.
    Get back in touch with yourself, and just reflect positively on all your accomplishments for a while.
    5. Be stoic. This is a new beginning, a new challenge. There is something else you need to be doing now.
    When you are ready, find it!
    I remember one of your videos from a while back where you said something like
    'I think I want to start a family'
    Maybe that is part of it! Someone to share your life with!
    That does not mean give up on your goals, it just means add one more.
    I am sure there is more to say, but that is between you, and the future.
    I wish you all of the very best!
    P.S. Enjoy Thailand!!

    I don't think any one of us watch you just for "your veins". Honestly I don't think I've ever really paid attention to it. What's really gravitating is your demeanor and your personality. You are one of the most positive faces I have seen in this space and you are doing a lot of good out here. Not everyone is expected to be happy 24/7, or never struggle... A big realization I personally had was that life *never gets easier*... We just get better. And that's what makes it beautiful. Everyone has their ups and downs. Thank you for opening up about your experience, we are here for you

    • @emmahuynh7526
      @emmahuynh7526 Před rokem

      I would agree.. I'm watching this on a tiny 6 cm by 4 cm screen. I can't see veins. I watch it because of the explanations, and it's great watching a man motivate and care about others. Also you have the same name as this ted talk guy who talks about what to eat to cure cancer and you have some of his vibes. What would be sustainable way of looking after your health mental and physical? Do you have a mental health care plan? Do you stay connected with your friends? There is a self compassion quiz from Kirstin Neff to check and evaluate where your thinking could improve. What your going through is very normal. Just by posting this you've helped alot of men know it's okay to have and express feelings. You've helped others know they're not alone. What your feeling is part of the human experience, it's normal. Perhaps try going to a yoga meditation retreat whilst you're in Thailand? Get in touch with yourself, acknowledge the feelings and thoughts and find the ☮️ through it. Your made of star dust and you are not alone. Host a Thailand catch up with your fans!

      PTSD is a tough issue to deal with and frequently pairs with depression. I felt like life was empty for a long time and I called it the Grey Life. I got up everyday and told myself the usual 'should, need, ought, have to' stuff, but I realised I didn't give fuck and I had been that way for a long time. It's been so bad my mother has learned numerous therapies to help me. Of all of them BWRT is the best and most applicable. It just shuts off the issue I was suffering from. I hope other people seek help and find their best self. Good luck and thanks for sharing.

    William there are times when I do feel lonely and times that I cry at night wishing I could have someone to lay next to and just talk to. Someone I can share moments with and I have no one. But you're the reason I started to workout and gain weight as a skinny person. Your videos inspired me to become a better person physically and I thank you for that. It's helped with my own loneliness and depression at times and although I still get those lonely moments a lot it has helped and I can't thank you enough. I sincerely hope that life treats you better and everything goes well for you and for all of us. We all need a way to vent and we all deserve to be heard.
    I was originally going to end it there but I feel that I need to rant even if it's on a youtube comment section. Many times it feels like I'm not appreciated or even cared for. I usually am the one to text people to check up on them first. I ask them how they are but when it comes to me I feel like that same treatment is never returned. And it's the small things that really bother me. If I ask my friends to hang out they will and I try to invite others that I can. When my friends plan things I'm usually not invited until quite a while after. It all adds up and it's really gets to me. I want to try and find some different people to hang out with but it's hard trying to even find new people that even want to communicate. Again it''s the little things like not checking up or not being invited or feeling like I'm alone that just feels like I don't belong. Like I'm forcing myself to be in a place where I just don't fit

      This is exactly how I feel, days after I've done nothing are just the worst.
      Somehow William motivates me far better than anyone else.
      Not having anyone to talk to is just the worst, it's scary how true the joke about going to the gym to replace emotional pain with physical pain is. Idk what to do and I always stress whenever I'm not doing smth "productive" (school,work,working out or smth) I feel terrible about myself if I haven't gotten things done or smth. So I just force myself to work out even if I don't enjoy it. If I don't do smth even for a day, I feel like sh*t.
      I just idk, being alone is much scarier for me than when I was overweight. I just idk, it sucks. Back then I didn't find flaws with every part of my body, despite being in far worse shape than what I am now. Now it's just terrible, I don't feel good at all, even though I'm in better shape, so idk, it's tough

      i feel you man. i had that problem but just went from introverted to really outgoing in a matter of months.
      you cant let yourself rot and do nothing about it, you have to take initiative. chat someone up, someone you know or even dont know that well. maybe ask if they wanna talk it out with coffee or something. coffee dates(platonic dates) are great because they can last all the way from 30 minutes to hours, which means that if youre not digging the vibe, you can just dip immediately and if you are, you can chill for awhile.
      nobody can do anything for you other than wish you luck or give advice that will be meaningless without your action. trust me, i know how hard it is to start socializing because, how the fuck do you even start? its really just about going to an event of some sort, like a concert or a small gig where you can easily find people to talk to, chatting them up, and getting their contact. it took me about 2.5 years to learn to practice this despite me having known this the entire time.
      good luck champ!

  • @I_am_guilty_of_manslaughter

    William Li I know you probably won't see this, but four months ago back in may when I first stumbled upon one of your videos I was genuinely so captivated. Because of you I gained 7 kg of muscle mass in these past few months. And I have only you to thank, no other fitness CZcamsr has ever given me the motivation, inspiration and information as you have. Please take as much time as you need to think it all over, me and thousands of others will always be here waiting for you. Also, I cried like a baby throughout the video.

    Its truly remarkable how much dedication you have put into all of this, staying shredded all year round, moving to other places just to motivate us more to get shredded. You are an inspiration for all of us, its competely ok to take a break for yourself. I myself have tried taking photos and videos and I never truly posted anything yet because of how insecure I am of my phsyique.
    Thank you for all of your dedication its truly an inspiration. Whatever you feel is best follow it, stay positive king 👑 you got this!

I'm sure you know that you have already helped so many people work towards/achieve their dream physique, and so even if you took a small break from being shredded, those number won't diminish. If anything, they'll keep going up. Onwards, King!

    I suffer through depression too, and sometimes the feelings come and go or they come and stay with you, it’s like an unwanted entity that does the best at making you miserable, mine does a great job and it kills me inside, digs a hole in my soul making me feel empty and dull, no one should never have to deal with these feelings and I genuinely feel sorry and bad for you, and I hope this passes and is limited to coming back as much as possible, and thanks for the amazing inspiring videos to make and telling us to get shredded it always cheers me up! God bless you.

You've helped me so much reaching my own goals and I'm so grateful for that. You probably won't see this but if you do, I want to sincerely thank you. You will always be goated no matter how many of your veins pop in a video AND you will always be a person that I look up to! Just thank you so much.

I'm sure if you don't feel like being shredded you can make other sorts of content that I believe most of us would watch, End of the do what makes you happy and we will be happy for you.

Worry about your own well-being first, because in our hearts your throne isn’t going anywhere.

Put a towel over the mirror and stop analyzing everything about yourself. That will help you put things into perspective. The more important things will come to the surface and I think you will feel better. I hope you feel better.❤ This is coming from a queen.

    Hey man, I started working out 2 years ago, I'd seen a few of your videos before and you had helped me gain muscle and abs. Over the years I grew in strength but as I got better and started looking better for myself I kept thinking I looked terrible and became so self conscious! My phone was and is filled with countess images of myself trying to see what lighting looks better and what images appear better but in the end I became very depressed and everybody I tried to tell seemed to ignore me because they thought I was self obsessed so I became very alone.
    In truth, watching your video today has made me feel so much better. I realise now we are l the same and you are NOT ALONE!! Trust me my freind, you look physically brilliant! And as a person yiu are incredibly you motivated me and countless others! God bless you my freind! I pray you will feel better soon! You are not alone...
