    I love how our newer generations have redefined success. 50 years ago success was working a regular job, never missing a day of work, and always having to be “the hero”. I feel like were moving to a place where being happy and doing what you love is being successful.

      Spot on my friend. When you have a million dollars, you have a million responsibilities; this can easily result in endless stress. When you learn to live with less, you have less responsibility and more free time to actually live your life with far less stress.

      This is awesome. But i feel that the point of working hard is not just for self worth but it’s too build a community. This is really the first generation were we dont need community to live comfortable. But we always will need a society working together. We are so advanced that we can get away with not everyone working together

      @jesusisking3814 Před 3 lety

      If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven and He loves you?
      Through Him, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways,
      from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.
      Explanation:
      God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why
      we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
      there. (Matthew 12:30) ''Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not
      gather with me scatters.'' He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteouss, but
      rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
      sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we’ve all sinned.
      (Romans 3:23) and the law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). For
      someone to be justified before God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ.
      None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
      have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
      are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
      guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). ‘’For God so
      loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
      believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16) That’s why only Jesus can
      save us, because He lived a perfect and sinless life and is the only worthy
      sacrifice and died for our sins. We aren’t saved based on our good
      deeds/works, but only by the grace of God. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
      He said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30), which means He paid the fine for our sins
      (past, present, future) to be forgiven if we repent and trust in Him.
      ‘’Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that
      times of refreshing may come from the Lord.’’ (Acts 3:19) Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
      Repentance is a turning from sin, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8). While sorrow from sin is
      not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10). Do not play a hypocrite.
      (John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
      If you confess that Jesus is Lord (John 10:30) and believe that God raised Him from the dead, then you’ll be saved. (Romans 10:9)
      You are born again with the spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
      Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
      Bible is the Word of God. You may ask how so because it is written by men. Just like a letter is written by a pen,
      so is Bible written by God using men. Bible/God's Word was written over 1600 year period by 40 different authors and 66 books, all leading to
      the coming of God's Son - Jesus Christ. There is consistency of revelation throughout a long time of period, many prophecies being fulfilled.
      In the Book of Isaiah you see details about how Jesus Christ suffered even if it was written a long time before His coming.
      In the Book of Daniel 500 BC you can read about Alexander the great who lived 300 BC.
      Get right with God and start your relationship with Jesus Christ right now before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!. "But about that day
      or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
      You may start with a simple prayer from the bottom of your heart, TRULY believing that God listens and
      cares. (Jeremiah 29:13) ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
      Get to know Christ through His word. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!

It's just so comfortable to watch youtube videos to clutter your mind and be laying around all day, innit? It's my life, and I need a change. It's my responsibility to make that change for the better. I guess it's a matter of making the first corageous step and do what I know I need to do.

    SUCH good words of advice. If you try it and don't like, you can just go back to what you were doing before.

I moved into an RV for about a year, but decided it wasn't for me so I sold it and moved back into an apartment, and by farrrrr the most common feedback I get is "you had such courage to change your mind" NOT that I was so courageous for doing it in the first place.

Keeping a long story Short, last month I sold my house, left my 18 yr old son who legally chose to live with his father (2yrs ago, broke my heart, didn’t see that one coming) left an on and off again re8 yr relationship! Im writing this from my rented room back porch to tell you.... TEXAS IS THE NEW CALIFORNIA! I’m going back home to the slow pace of the Midwest. Am I happy I followed my dream. ABSOLUTELY , it’s straightened out my mind and made me eternally greatful for the ones back home who love me! There are no mistakes, only what happens!.....oh did I mention my first week in Texas some guy took the front of my car off, my roommates I was supposed to move in with got COVID, so I had to live in hotels for 14 days and my new roommates aren’t really the dog lovers they claimed to be!

I just graduated from Highschool in 2020(what a year 😅) but I'm stoked to see what photography and traveling brings me!! Your video skills are INSANE bro and honestly I would LOVE to meet up eventually when I get my van 🤞🏻

    I was thinking of leaving my previous job. I had the plan and everything seemed like it would essentially work out...but I was scared. 6 months ago, after watching this video, I got the push I needed to finally write and give my resignation letter. I remember writing it right after this video. I just wanted to go back to it to say thank you. I feel free and more at peace. I’ve grown a lot in the past 6 months away from that job. I honored the lifestyle I was seeking and needing, thanks to you. I get asked what motivated me and I always mention this exact video.
    I’m hoping that one day, all the things I have inside me to share with the world make a positive impact like that, too, in other people.
    Thank you.

    God, I needed to hear this right now.
    I've been telling myself a lot of the same stuff you said, but it's encouraging to me to be reminded that I also have a MASSIVE community of people trying to make it, just like me, and the encouragement and advice of people all over the world is at my fingertips, like it NEVER has been in all of human history. I have you guys! *smiles through tears*
    I really easily feel overwhelmed by my choice to try vanlife (I'm finishing up research and pulling the trigger in the next few weeks), and I have also been calming my anxiety by telling myself that I am setting up my fallback right now. My emergency net. It may cost a chunk of cash right now, and it may feel like investing in this lifestyle means I can't go back to a "normal" one, but really, I can simply hold onto this minivan as my main car, and have a place to stay and the know-how to stay safe if I ever find myself in a bind. (Or, yknow, if the economy or government or both collapse, which seems increasingly likely after January 6 2021). Anyway, I have to remind myself that I can make it. And your video helped with that :D

    • @jesusisking3814
      @jesusisking3814 Před 3 lety +3

      If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven and He loves you?
      Through Him, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways,
      from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.
      Explanation:
      God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why
      we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
      there. (Matthew 12:30) ''Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not
      gather with me scatters.'' He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteouss, but
      rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
      sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we’ve all sinned.
      (Romans 3:23) and the law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). For
      someone to be justified before God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ.
      None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
      have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
      are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
      guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). ‘’For God so
      loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
      believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16) That’s why only Jesus can
      save us, because He lived a perfect and sinless life and is the only worthy
      sacrifice and died for our sins. We aren’t saved based on our good
      deeds/works, but only by the grace of God. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
      He said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30), which means He paid the fine for our sins
      (past, present, future) to be forgiven if we repent and trust in Him.
      ‘’Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that
      times of refreshing may come from the Lord.’’ (Acts 3:19) Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
      Repentance is a turning from sin, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8). While sorrow from sin is
      not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10). Do not play a hypocrite.
      (John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
      If you confess that Jesus is Lord (John 10:30) and believe that God raised Him from the dead, then you’ll be saved. (Romans 10:9)
      You are born again with the spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
      Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
      Bible is the Word of God. You may ask how so because it is written by men. Just like a letter is written by a pen,
      so is Bible written by God using men. Bible/God's Word was written over 1600 year period by 40 different authors and 66 books, all leading to
      the coming of God's Son - Jesus Christ. There is consistency of revelation throughout a long time of period, many prophecies being fulfilled.
      In the Book of Isaiah you see details about how Jesus Christ suffered even if it was written a long time before His coming.
      In the Book of Daniel 500 BC you can read about Alexander the great who lived 300 BC.
      Get right with God and start your relationship with Jesus Christ right now before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!. "But about that day
      or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
      You may start with a simple prayer from the bottom of your heart, TRULY believing that God listens and
      cares. (Jeremiah 29:13) ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
      Get to know Christ through His word. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!

    this is awesome Jake. Love it. Totally agree . I felt the exact same way working 9-5 for 13 years because it was safe, then some stuff happened that showed me there was another way to live, where you are responsible for your own future, where you don't rely on that "safety net". You take control, you make it work for you. It doesn't need to be huge, but it needs to be meaningful and fulfilling. Cliche as it is we only get one shot at living.

    A negative of change is.....instability , along with uncertainty.....I drink beer ,,,anytime I want...anywhere ,anytime I choose to ,I drink...but I have complete control over it to not indulge in it and I never overdo my drinking....I never ever get drunk or even reach a " buzz ",, nothing ,never......so I know I have complete control over it,its not even an issue......but one thing I did lose control of for 25 years was my attitude towards " CHANGE "... I loved it! I embraced it,,I chose it,,I pursued it..I wanted to feel everything,,touch everything,,always wanting to see what was over there for me to do,,jack of all trades ,master of none..I've lived in soo many places ,,made many friends ( though I have none right now ),,had soo many girlfriends and lovers that ive let go ,,,,all for my love of CHANGE.....I'm married now ,have a baby boy,,a house ,one ! Job,,and I am soooooo much happier this way... ( point I'm making is)
    I wish I wouldn't have pursued change with such curiosity and desire as I did,,,,yeah ,yeah I have alot of experience and stories to speak of...but,,.I should have chosen stability over adventure and change,,,,,a mistake I made.....

    hey (: i’m in my last year of school, and under a bit of pressure to choose a course for uni. My parents & I spoke about medicine some time ago, and it’s come up several more times recently. I don’t know if that’s what I want to do in life - become a doctor, a cardiologist, a gynecologist etc. I know for sure that I want to work with people! I have a couple other course ideas in mind, but with medicine, I’d have to do a special test that is in a month ... I’m so anxious about this whole situation - I’d love to try go for medicine, because if not, I feel that I may regret it! I think I’m just afraid of failure - that I will not succeed in the medicinal test as I feel that there’s so little time. I’m torn, and I feel lost.
