A very important message. Don’t be in your old age and have a lifetime of regrets. It’s why I quit my job and employer of 24 years to work remotely and travel. Stuck in the comfort zone I was. No regrets. One of my favourite videos from you Ben. Going to grab my cam tomorrow and create, has been a while.
It would be fantastic if you do a video about how to talk positively about ourselves? a lot of people talk about it (toxic self talk) but how we practice it? I also think it's connected to self-love. It's almost like a mind hiccups!
I have seen and realized that everything is design to distract you. “Distractions aren’t the distraction, your attention to them is” I think the only way to contribute to this world is by working on ourselves and that means feeling good, at peace like you said, centered. Otherwise we are just creating more chaos. The world needs you working on you❤️
Thank you Ben! This message was seriously divinely received. I’ve been in and out of loops and catching myself, but this video just woke me up. What helps me come back into alignment is journaling, eating nourishing whole foods, sunlight, breath work, exercising, creating, and consuming content like this. I really appreciate you for sharing your light ❤️
I was watching you when I think I was like 16 or something, I remember being in college, you Louis and Dave. Ya'll was my savior's throughout my depression. Crazy you still here bro, glad that your healthy and doing well, thanks for supporting me even without knowledge of it!
Thanks Ben. Your videos help me stay calm, peaceful and reasonable. They help not to be overwhelmed by aggression and hatred. I am sure that your words that reach people make the world a better place, open their eyes to the simple truths of life.
Agreed my friend. The irony is that by living authentically and truthfully to who we are, we bring so much light to the world and it changes the dynamic. But if we remain as passive observers who absorb all the negativity, we can never change anything. Much love
Love the hold the cup still metaphor! Looking forward ro more Cape Town vlogs, that's what introduced me to you many years ago. Ex-Capetonian living in Cusco, Peru here 😊 Looking forward ro a trio back with my family next year.
Hi Ben!! Long time follower here, think I started watching you in 2018? Anyway I just wanted to thank you so much for sharing your journey of life online. I think of you as a catalyst for my own soul journey. I remember when you messed up your arm from a motorbike accident and how that set things off for you and I had a similar experience at a similar time (in terms of how it brought things up, not a crash!) Watching you grow has had a profound positive impact on my life. For example, just today this video popped up on my timeline right when I needed it. Watched it once then again with my notebook, grabbing some notes. “Don’t get to the end of your life with deathbed regrets” is going to be with me for a while.
Powerful energy felt through your words Ben. I am currently in Vanuatu filming a project for Vanuatu and the amount of gratitude for life that I have gained while being here is a huge amount. There was a calling to watch this video especially and every single word was taken in like a meditation. I hope one day the universe guides us to meet someday. ❤️
Ben, I’ve honestly watched your journey so closely whilst taking as much as I can from it and I’ve learned that doing what you love whilst benefiting other people is a huge thing! Even down to your Arctic series that you did with Tim. That series does something to me which is unmatched, I can fully understand what is important about filmmaking throughout watching those episodes! I respect everything about what you do. And overall I’ve learned that whatever fulfils me will fulfils other people too! Sorry if this made no sense but it did to me so thank you
hey brother. what happened to ‘remember to work hard, be nice to people, and try not to get lost or killed’🤧 loved that shit. appreciate the message of this video none the less. peace x
Thank you Ben, you have always been a great inspiration to me from the beginning. I see you, I hear you, I luv you Bro! May our metaphysical cups runneth over. cheers from Aus. Paul
Ben your a ducking genius. I found you in my early teens, my pfp was my desk were I would watch you. You got me through some of my darkest times as a teen and then I stopped watching you and CZcams by taking your advice of going out there and living life. I always felt like you were an older brother with solid advice but it’s so bizzare how now that im going through another gray period of my life as a grown man you’ve reappeared and to my amazement even our spiritual thoughts align! Watching you talk to me was like a breath of fresh air. All the reminders were wonderful and I felt like you were telling me everything I needed to hear. Thank you 🙏
Go Ben! 🐬But also realize that you are safe, live in abundance and well established on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. All the people who are not, can’t survive on spiritual fluffiness. They must handle everyday *reality* (or 'shit' as you called it).
Tomorrow is my birthday. And this was/is a fantastic precent before I turn another year over…2:20 minutes from now. This is a wonderful solid message. This might be one of Ben’s best videos since I began following/watching for the past-shit-what? Could it be 8 or 10 years now-I’ll have to check. I bet Ben is a damn good life coach. Thanks for the video man. Hit me right in that very important place where my heart and soul merge. Thanks man
So beautifully said and really inspiring. Touched me in the heart. I see the experience in you and how this is really important to you to share, which made me connected to you even more and generally thankful for how we can work and make our own sense in the world as humans. Thank you ❤️
Thank you so much for making this content! It really touches me...does something with me... I feel your words. And they are so precious. Please continue sharing. It helpes me a lot. I really go well on your video's. It's like a precious friend who talks to me. Always makes me grow. So much gratitude. Waw.
I’m fully aware that I am a toxic, negative person. I don’t want to be like that but just cannot make myself change. There is too much needed to fix me that it so overwhelming. 😢
I'm celebrating your awareness! This is a really tough thing, I have experienced this too, and now as I discover more of my shadow I'm getting better at being forgiving and kind to myself, knowing that we cannot change what we can't see. You will change, and it'll likely be when you let yourself feel the pain that is created by the negativity. YOU are not a toxic person, YOU are LOVE. Your ESSENCE can only be love, it's the mind that distorts the expression of your loving essence, creating an experience of separation from others, and then the behaviour that follows is not loving. You are discovering who you are, by the painful and confronting journey of discovering who you are NOT. You know when something is not you because it feels off, you suffer so that you notice that you're not being yourself, your true loving nature. Time to let go of who you think you are, and make space for who you truly are; LOVE. Let it overwhelm you, let it take you, let the tears fall, grieve, scream, shout and express all the wild emotions, this is who you create space for the new, this is alchemy. I belive in you. 🤍
Ben, thank you so much for this. This might sound strange but I know that I'm special. The universe has put me on this planet to serve others, yet I'm not doing it fully. Maybe I am by just being myself and impacting those around me, but I know I can do more. I know what I should do and if I had all the time in the world I would...I'm sturggling with fulfilling the balance of doing work to survive and pay bills and also being able to serve my life purpose of serving others. I'm not too sure why I'm telling you this, but perhaps it may offer some insight into what some of your audience struggles with. Anyways, lots of love to you Ben. Love you!
Reflecting on myself I mean, if I really love my service to others I would make time for it and do everything possible...so that's where the issue really is...time to go deep inside myself *plunges*
I feel with you. I also struggle with paying bills etc and balance making space for my purpose on earth. I feel it is for me about my beliefs about myself, money,... if I am able to change them, my mind will support me to create my dream life even better ❤
" Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. " Matthew 11: 28-29 I was living for myself for 22 years, but thankfully Jesus then saved me. I now no longer want to live for my own dreams but rather want to do what God wants. I just stumbled upon your video as I used to watch a lot of your video when I was younger. Jesus can save you too Ben!
The simplest things always seem to be the most mind-blowing! For whatever reason this seriously resonated with me, just wow @1:11 "... is offer the things we are good at to other people...". Its such a simplistic and genius mindset to side step the anxiety of putting yourself out there; in my mind at least. This has been the toughest year of my adult life - a lot has happened - I had become reactionary which lead to trying new things which is good, but do those things serve me properly? I resonated with this b/c the idea of simply offering up your art/photography/videos is what got me to post on IG, but this call to simply add to the positivity on the internet really struck another cord where you don't have to be perfect getting the best angles and shots but the content alone sharing positive experience can be enough. Going on a trip soon may be I can stitch something together out of it. Thanks for sharing and posting these videos - to think 13 years ago the travel vlogger on YT would be resonating so much with these new experiences in my own life is incredible. Thank you for being you!
Sadly the life I'm trying to live doesn't bring enough money to even survive each month so at some point very soon I'm going to have to turn my back on my passion and go back into the system.
99% of artists have a job that supports their art, similar to me with coaching, I trust you'll find a job that also brings out the best in you brother Sean :)
Different Ben... I am a random person who used to be a regular viewer of Ben. There are no videos for a couple of months.. unsubsribed... Subscribed again .... For me, Artic adventure is still a gem of video.... Thank you Ben...
What you're saying is very egocentric and individualistic. What you're calling distraction is actually awareness of reality on a Global level. And by being aware of the reality we can chose how to participate into changing important political situations. There's a lot to be done in this reality to come to a better collective life. It's not always, me, me, I, I....
Some people are here to be focused on what they birth into the world and that ends up benefiting the collective. Pretty sure Ben’s purpose here is Transpersonal Karma of Informing (human design) and so this message makes so much sense to hear from him. His gift is communicating what he’s learnt. Who knows the positive ripple effects that will come of him following his true calling. Who he will be able to help and who he may inspire to change the world and tackle those problems you listed.
Maybe! It sure feels good to say it and the information flows with a lot of energy and passion, so it must be said! The main message, to be sure I’m communicating simply; mainstream media is divisive and fear driven in their communication, to even have a change of getting quite and still enough to really learn what life’s all about, one must disconnect from those vibrations. Then, reconnect and FEEL how distorted they are from truth. Then, stay clear and you’ll be guided.
A very important message. Don’t be in your old age and have a lifetime of regrets. It’s why I quit my job and employer of 24 years to work remotely and travel. Stuck in the comfort zone I was. No regrets. One of my favourite videos from you Ben. Going to grab my cam tomorrow and create, has been a while.
The thing we all love about your videos is the authenticity! Stay authentic Ben and enjoy the process and we'll always love you for it!
Thanknyou Ben..this was incredibly helpful
The true OG youtuber. Love seeing you transform into your true self. Your vibe is beautiful.
It would be fantastic if you do a video about how to talk positively about ourselves? a lot of people talk about it (toxic self talk) but how we practice it? I also think it's connected to self-love. It's almost like a mind hiccups!

Thank you!
Thanks for the words ben❤
Love you Ben,wish you the best.
Much love to you too, thank you for being here :)
thank you Ben!
My pleasure! 🫶🏼
Feels good to see you back Ben
Full circle lets GO!
thank you for this
Really needed this video. Thank you so much dude.
Thank you Ben
Thank you Ben! This message was seriously divinely received. I’ve been in and out of loops and catching myself, but this video just woke me up.
What helps me come back into alignment is journaling, eating nourishing whole foods, sunlight, breath work, exercising, creating, and consuming content like this.
I really appreciate you for sharing your light ❤️
I was watching you when I think I was like 16 or something, I remember being in college, you Louis and Dave. Ya'll was my savior's throughout my depression. Crazy you still here bro, glad that your healthy and doing well, thanks for supporting me even without knowledge of it!
Really needed to hear this message Ben. Thanks for making me feel so good

Sorry...looking forward to a trip back...😁
Locked into an intense staring contest with Ben Brown while he's punching some truth into me. Gotta sit down for a sec.
haha! Who won?! Was it a staring contest or were we eye gazing 😏

Great video Ben, much needed ✨
that was amazing!
Go Ben! I may have been a critic but have always looked forward to new content! So Thank you!
Thanks Ben! This was exactly what I needed today. It truly helped me feel more grounded and energised 🌞🌞 sending love to anyone who needs it🫶🏼
Such a nice calming vibe to the start of this vid :) Nice way to start my Saturday
Thank you Ben my goodness eveyone needs to hear this shit!!!!
Ben, I’ve honestly watched your journey so closely whilst taking as much as I can from it and I’ve learned that doing what you love whilst benefiting other people is a huge thing! Even down to your Arctic series that you did with Tim. That series does something to me which is unmatched, I can fully understand what is important about filmmaking throughout watching those episodes! I respect everything about what you do. And overall I’ve learned that whatever fulfils me will fulfils other people too! Sorry if this made no sense but it did to me so thank you
I agree, the arctic trip was so inspirational to me
Definitely made sense! Also checking in from way back with Ben. Some years I don't follow as close, but I'm always back to really catch up.
Thank you Ben, you can be proud of yourself for doing so many good things 🙌 I am glad we crossed paths on Bali 🌺
hey brother. what happened to ‘remember to work hard, be nice to people, and try not to get lost or killed’🤧 loved that shit. appreciate the message of this video none the less. peace x

I’m fully aware that I am a toxic, negative person. I don’t want to be like that but just cannot make myself change. There is too much needed to fix me that it so overwhelming. 😢
I believe in you! You can't fix a problem that hasn't been seen, so you're already a step closer to comfort and peace
I'm celebrating your awareness!
