I wanto talk to u ...but dont knw how
I was contemplating whether or not I should go to my friend's birthday party last week. I made the effort to go, and she was over the moon that I showed up. It was at that moment that I realized I mattered in this world, to her and her guests, who I really enjoyed talking to. She was not only celebrating her birthday, but she had overcome stage 4 cancer. Sometimes we have to put ourselves out there for others. And watching this video confirms that. Thank you ❤
That’s huge - so happy to hear this
Your voice saves far more people than you would know. One life changed is already so much. I feel like I am home on this channel, despite having a social circle. I feel seen.
Bcs the social circle doesn t satisfie any of your basic needs. You are w ppl without first having 1,2 ppl who really see the real you. That s the problematic nowdays way of living. & we find solutions e.g a therapist, a coach but to be seen & be/exist in a way that we express our social/emotional/empathic nature should be the given thing. Imo we are all, one by one responsible for everything that happens in society.
What a wonderful Monday, I woke up at 6. First I prayed, then I went out and looked at the sky, what a view. The sky was incredibly beautiful, and I thanked God for giving me the opportunity for a new day. After that, I opened my phone and saw this beautiful video, and this humble man, who makes you feel valuable and love yourself through his words. I would like to thank you. Thank you so much Scott ❤
I just found out on my own I have PTSD let alone with depression n anxiety. Plus on top of that I have to go on a date tomorrow night. It's never a dull moment with this curse of mind.
I can’t even express how appreciative I am of you, your mission and the message you are conveying to those who follow you. You are truly an inspiration and have already helped me so much. I look forward to rewatching your videos and enjoying your new ones as well. Thank you so very much Scott ✨☺️
Thank You!! ❤
Learning to accept and love oneself instead of finding it other peoples eyes all the time is very liberating. Coming from an Indian Society where you're judged by people and their commercial standards of worthiness is draining and meaninless. Thanks for the beautiful video. You're an angel! ❤
You bring more value to the world than you know. When I am at my lowest, I come back to your videos and feel less alone. For that, I am grateful ❤❤
I started watching your channel to do something for my friend struggling with depression and anxiety. Thanks for sharing your story and tips that helped me understand him better.
This video felt like a sermon. It was so uplifting 😊
Scott I know that numbers in the age of social media is everything but I want to encourage you with all that I am that NOTHING you do is wasted. God sees your sacrifice. Your video that you did that was so attentive and right on point. I listen to it every time I cannot make head nor tell of this life. Im existing every day right now and that video is beyond a blessing. You are EVERYTHING definitely the salt on the earth. A light that is not hidden under the lamp stand. Thank you for all you do.🙏🏾
Thank you for this video. May you be happy and blessed in Jesus name Amen.
I think the ocean will be some drops dry without you! You inspire people in everywhere! 🖐🏽have one here! ❤
Omg Scott 🥹 your introduction touched me ,, I asked those questions every morning when am sad and depressed “whats the impact of me what my existence means ! ) ,after sometime of processing relying on God ,, you start noticing little details in your life and be very compassionate sensitively with yourself and people
Thank you Scott💜 you made me feel that we are not alone with this
This helped me tonight. Reminds me of the silly things I do that make people joyful and laugh. I pray we’re shining Jesus through all those moments and the hard ones.
Your video makes me feel so seen and understood. Always lifts me up. Thanks😌🙏🏼
Again, you are saving lives
Thank you for sharing information and your own experiences with beautiful explanation. It's very helpful.
When we start thinking on the lines of "Why bother?" that's where we need to remind ourselves of this video ❤️ Very well said. We must not leave anything undone and do what we can. We don't even need to think of the impact sometimes. The impact will take care of itself. Just because we see others being salt it doesn't make our salt any less valuable. God bless you too 🥰 Keep making a difference! You have always been a source of salt in my life. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
Scott, you are truly a positive influence to all of us! Have been watching your videos for a long time now! I am still suffering with depression and you always brighten my day! I do see therapists but you really understand! Thank you so much for being you! Keep up the wonderful work you do! Much love, Bill
A drop in the ocean still makes a difference. I have hard days and still like to think I’m making a difference in some way.
Oh, and I do enjoy listening to Scott…if you make a difference to ONE person, it’s worth it.
What a wonderful message! I needed to hear that, and yes, you are the salt for so many of us. Thank you!
Thank you
Yeeyy!! Finally found someone who had the holistic vision of spirituality (God) and psychology. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much for this! I needed this
Wow, very refreshing. Being subconsciously looking for your video. Thank you!!!! Keep it up!!!! Salty Man❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think we all offer value, but it's just hard to see when the days don't reflect (my) worth. When we take to heart the actions of others than influence our thought process that we don't have "salt" to offer to the world, it just feels like a kick in the teeth. I believe I have worth because I'm not dead yet. Because my maker is keeping me here for some reason. I just struggle to figure it out on many days as of late. Hey, my cat (usually) appreciates me! Thanks, Scott. I appreciate what you have to offer. We all need to be reminded we're salty. You are, too! Thank you for your sprinkles of wisdom and reminders that seem to come at just the right time. Peace, brother.
I feel that Jennifer. I don't feel the "internal" saltiness at times, and Spirit is completely silent. We keep going in trust. You made my day!
Wow Scott, your videos really lift me up truly. Thank you for sharing your life and messages with us all. This really encouraged me to keep trying and to ignore that voice that makes me question what difference I’m making by being here.
Thank you ☺️
Hi Scott, thanks for the video! I could feel your emotions through the screen. Hope you are doing well my friend 😊 It's nice to have someone to relate to.
Wow🥺. This was such a powerful message. Thank you for sharing it. It really does make an impact✨💖
Thank you for reminding me that I matter, Scott!
You’re salty 🎁, you matter Scott!! Your channel helps many! Great video thanks!! I always enjoy coming here especially if I feel down because I know you’ll make me feel better and remind me of self compassion in my mind and emotions. You’re an inspiration always! Thank you for sharing your life energy with us here it is greatly appreciated!
Do you know that your impact travelled all over the world reaching the country where I am from, Egypt?
I LOVEEE listening to your podcast and I always get excited when I get notified of your new episodes... you're the salt to my life man, keep it up!!💗
thank YOU - would love to go to Egypt one day :)
I'm so tired of always trying to be better, happier, more successful.I'm even more tired of always trying to live up to my mother's expectations. And wht rips me apart inside is that nothing is changing...i'm just getting exhausted. Idk am i exaggerating ?? My mom always says that i'm exaggerating and that i'm so dramatic. I feel like a failure, I'm really good at nothing and I'm always scared of ppl cus i just got an opportunity to work my dream jod but i just ran away cus i'm scared to fail and wht would others think !!!! I hate myself for that
gosh I just wrote random things that make no sense cus i really have no one to talk to
Your words are not random …. At all! I get it .. I hear you ❤
So much respect Scott. ❤I recognize the pain in your eyes. It is the same pain I see when I look at myself in the mirror. I have been struggling with depression and anxiety since childhood. Faked my way through life because of cultural stigma. It has gotten worse. I am 56. I have a huge extended family but no support - none. Each day I feel physically sick and closer to death. 🙏
I'm watching your videos for the first time this morning and they've greatly relieved by anxiety and depression. Thank you for being here!
I always have such worthiness issues… all day long guilt and feeling of inferiority, feeling to do more and push more…. Then they might dissapear. I always think of myself as someone who is kinda invisible, like no one thinks about me. Not my previous dates, friends, classmates, the people i spoke to and gave compliments. I had a heartbreak today aswell. Ahahahahah, 6th one since i was 14. 17 right now. Just alot on my shoulders, just know that you do matter, and you helped me! and im sure you have for numerous other people too
I wonder what would happen if you spoke to yourself with compassion and understanding, like a friend would. 🙏
Here for you Scott, you're the salt of my life❤
Thank youuuu soo much for making these videos. I watch CZcams becasue of your channel
☺️☺️☺️
Good way to think of the value of our life/lives. I was thinking out loud to friends the other day who asked me when you are depressed, doesn’t it help to play music? I said sometimes yes, but other times it’s so bad that even music can’t touch the darkness, and in those moments I can start losing hope because the one thing that used to bring some joy can’t pierce the dark. But what keeps me through those times is the divine spark within-that must be what Jesus meant by salt of the earth. That flavor, that sustainer of life, that spark of divinity-it’s so powerful that it keeps us alive even in the darkest times when we can no longer feel joy or feel God’s presence. ❤
Love You Scott take care ❤❤
Enjoyed this one mate, appreciate you, and thanks for adding your salt today!
Always!
On a different note,
I’m trap in my old job and not liking my new job because I am constantly thinking about my old job cause I want to go back so I got Depressed 😢
You’re amazing man thanks for this great content.
Scott, how long have you been dealing with depression and anxiety? Do you know what the cause(s) are for yours? Maybe you have covered that in another video/podcast. I’m new here.
Anyway, thank you. I appreciate you and your work.
I agree that the smallest gesture can literally save a life. I struggle too and I received a really amazing gesture today and haven’t had anyone to tell about it yet, but I’m thankful to God for it, and I do appreciate it. It was totally out of the blue and unexpected.
May God bless you with healing for your depression and anxiety so that you can share that hope of healing with others. ❤
Thank you so much Scott!! I`m always looking forward to watch your content. Sometimes multiple times. You`ve made a huge impact in my life and you`re an amazing human being! Much love from Germany. =)
I love your videos! Thank you so muchhhhhh!✨🫶🏽
Powerful sir. Thank you 🙏🏽
Let’s gooooooooooo 🔥
Scott, I just wonder how you see the value in learning the same lessons again and again and again... I'm tired man... I've been through anxiety, through a lot of lows, been to therapy, started my spiritual journey, I'd like to think I'm more in contact with God and my heart and I have the courage to sit with my emotions and observe what's going on there... yet exactly when I think I have it all together, that I know what I need to do, what to focus on, and just how to surf the waves of life... I fall.. badly.. and it feels like I don't know shit, and I have to learn it all again. To start small, because I'm overwhelmed and I can only focus on the very next step... Why????? I was doing so well.. opportunities,good experiences, growth, love, I felt like a magnet for good things, flow state and manifestation baby, positive feedback loop of loving life and life loving you back...
and then suddenly I don't know what's true anymore and everyone's opinions on how to live life feel bigger, more powerful, more important than my truth and I try my best to make sense of it all but I just become more and more lost and confused.. and through it all I am a big SHOULD: I should know more clearly what I want and my direction, should do more of this and that, should be balanced, should do all of these million things but also smoothly and enjoy doing them...
And a strooong, intense feeling that I am not enough underlying everything I do...
I know it'll pass.. I know I'll be back on the high at some point... but why is this necessary??? when I could be having a greater impact if I felt happy, like my best self, and I put more energy into productive and fun things instead of... figuring shit out, the same shit I figured out a million times before... Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
i love you, bro
I love your videos, Scott , how you feel everything you say and your deep, meaningful eyes . I also have depression, it has been 4 years part of it is gone but at times it is repeated and you know how hard it is, as I am smily person everybody looks at my happy face but nobody sees what I am going through at nights. I feel so bad at times that I just fight with my own body. I just wait till the next morning will come. Thank you for all your videos, I am really grateful to be part of your channel.
You’re not alone. The wait for the sunrise is beyond difficult. But it will rise, hang in there
I love salt ❤ thank you for this analogy, this inspired me. Lately I feel myself useless and the life pointless, because after my breakup life turned out radically different than I’ve expected it to be. Back than I felt like my life was near to perfect, we moved abroad, I met so many interesting people, we had business together. And now everything changed. Now I’m back to my country, living with parents and sick grandma, that I just can’t stand, low finances and lack of knowing how to get back on track. I’m 28 but feeling myself like an infant child. But it’s embarrassing cause I’m and adult and I should be independent and have my shit together. Your video makes me feel hope and reasons to have self worth
Hey Katherine, what a knock back you have had.
Please give yourself time and compassion to heal.
And remember to be the salt of the Earth to those around you too =)
Life is a journey and sometimes we retrace our steps and that is ok. Listen to Scott again =)
@@freescot8035 thank you so much ❤️
Praise Jesus Christ ♥️
Thank u
The Salt of the Earth 💫
Yes I have literally moved mountains. It feels so. And I can’t anymore. I’m dead.
If you have done it in the past, you can do it again ❤ don’t overwhelm yourself too, you are human you need rest too, however you can, maybe rest is just being sad for a little bit and feeling sorry for yourself. You don’t have to always to be so strong and unhurt
Wow, what Denis said =)
What if that one person that you made their life easier and better completely ignores your support and takes advantage? Here is the curve ball, you cant separate from that individual!
Did you suffer from depression in the past. I do too it all started when I entered high school I still do but now am doing therapy and doing exercises to help. Last year it was worst now I see that am improving a little. Watching your videos and other videos makes me and reminds me of what am capable of doing and who I was made to be. I need like compliments everyday something motivating that makes me feel good about my self and not to quit and to remind me of who I am.
I did, and still do. Proud of you buddy!
@@depressiontoexpression Yeah you too.
❤
🫂HUGZ🫂
❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks Scott!! Talk to Jesus more. He luhs you ;)
😊
U matter
I LOVE your videos! I enjoyed this one, but opposite to you Scott, my mother put salt in everything! So I never use it.
🤣🤣🤣
Ummmm... I don't know... am still taking the ocean. Every time. 😅
And that is a truly lovely place to be =)
Yet you will pass folk on your way there and that is when a little sprinkle of salt from you could make such a difference for them. I bet you do that all ready =)
Every smile could land like gold =) And then watching the beauty of the ocean on your own won't really be so on your own because you are touching lives on your way there .
Listen to Scott again and let his offering land with you Lisa.
@freescot8035 let me explain where I am coming from. I started listening to Scott years ago. At the time, I suffered from depression and loneliness. I used hundreds of resources, including Scott, to rise above and transcend the depression and loneliness. Not to say that I don't need human connection, but I realized that my longing for human connection was one of the major causes for the depression in the first place. You know what they say. You can't always get what you want. I had to learn to be okay with that. Not always having that human connection that I craved.
And it all began with self-love. Not the cheesy superficial kind that they are always talking about on social media. I mean really finding out who you are, on the inside, connecting with that, and loving that, your true self. Traditional yoga and meditation helped me with this. Once I was there, the fear of being alone went away. I still connect with people, but I practice detachment. Meaning, I enjoy watching the Ocean with other beings, but I mostly enjoy watching it alone, so that I can truly meditate on its vastness, its beauty, its majesty, without interuption or commentary. There is a beauty in being able to enjoy things on your own without needing to tell someone all the time, or pulling out a camera to share on social media. Just sit and be present. This also makes connecting with people deeper. I can sit and listen and watch the person as though they were the ocean. Appreciating them as they are, really trying to understand them, and not grabbing my phone while they talk.
So, I agree with Scott. I have listened to him numerous times, and his words have helped me.... a lot. My comment was not a refutation of his words. It was just an expression of my experience. I love connecting with people, but I also love connecting with myself.... maybe a lot more than I love connecting with people. I don't believe there is anything wrong with that. :)

I don't feel any hope anymore
Hey there Michelle =)
Then I will hope for you.
I hope you feel better today and that however you are feeling that you know that you are loved. Always.
This too shall pass.
