When your book comes out, please do an audiobook version with YOU reading it. You've got the voice for it. Can't wait!

Heyy man, I sincerely enjoy your content you've been putting up, I'm a 17 year old guy out of South Africa and your videos have really helped me mature into a young man, love from South Africa ❤

"Things don't get better because of a new year, they get better because of a new you" Powerful 💯

Большой привет из России! Мне 19 лет, и для меня вы как дедушка повидавший уже многое в этой жизни. Спасибо что помогаете всем нам! Ваши слова действительно правильные и по факту!

My mom says “when my head, heart, and hands are aligned I know I’m doing the right thing.” Prayer is a great way to get aligned with your purpose. Another great video Dewayne! God bless ❤

I never make New Year's resolutions because I feel like it's changing for the wrong reason. I make an effort to change something when it's important enough for me to change. I like your alcohol example, replacing bad habits with something not as bad, working up to something good.

I just wanted to say that you are the example of a heroic, hard working, down-to-earth man that everyone needs to see in this world and try to emulate! Several of your videos had helped me. I’d definitely like to meet you in person one day!

Simplified lesson: "If you want to change a negative behavior, replace it with something you really want to do it, and keep choosing that with consistency, until you become it". Thanks for spreading wisdom.

If every boy had a father this wise, the world would be such a better place.

Thank you to Dwayne for being the hero that we need and always knowing what to say. I sincerely appreciate you. 🙏

My 15 yr old son Trent Loves your Channel, your content and your message. We are frozen in down here in Texas watching you all day! God Bless

Thank you for these talks. They mean a lot to me.

I'm 29 days sober, no weed and no beer. I didn't do it as a new year resolution. I have goals in mind and I just had a strong feeling that I was gonna have tough challenges this year. I wanted to have a clear mind. No amount of days in mind, nothing. Like I predicted, 7 days ago, I learned that I was let go from my contract. After almost 2 years there, it's like my co-workers are turning against me for my final weeks. I'm tired of corporate. I'm really trying to quit the office world this year. I had a good high paying job that I hated but I was going to reach my goals faster. I just want to live quietly in nature, I'm emotionally dead inside.

My first book of 2024 is The Power of Habit and it is quite good. Basically says what Dwayne said in that you can't get rid of habits but you can replace the response to what is cueing your habits and thus changing the reward/outcome. Great read for anyone looking to better themselves.

"Experience leads to self-confidence, self-confidence leads to calmness & it is calmness that leads to safety" - Awesome & so true in all areas of life 🙂 Plus replacing bad habits with good ones 😉

You’re the first person who has ever explained what Jesus meant about the person getting rid of the demon and ending up having seven more in a way that made sensed to me! Thanks for your videos ❤️

Yes. Replace it, be consistent, be patient, get up when you fall, and don’t quit. Thank you.

Mine is more focused on how I treat my neighbours.

I'm 57 years old and still learning new things everyday , I thought I knew it all but maybe not so much . The wisdom of old men is like Gold , invaluable !

Just a dang good message. It's s like listening to the book of Proverbs cowboy style.

Americas favorite cowboy! Love your videos! Especially from a grounded perspective and someone who has had allot of experiences most folk wouldn’t have had.

I'm diggin the ball cap!! Great pow wow sir 🫡

Yes sir, it will be same unless we become new. Let's let ourselves change. I wish you best 2024 to all of you guys, you are absolutely special ones out there on this channel

As a middle to older man, ( though I like to think of myself as the latter), who has traveled to 3 continents, 27 countries, and 48 states of the U.S. serving in my countries military, and trying to LEARN from all and every experience I have to finally recognize someone that not only can instruct but make things understandable. Thank you DCWS . This is one of my morning necessities, just as much as my meditations, prayers, coffee and reflection. " Ain't a bronc that can't be rode, Ain't a cowboy that can't be throwed."

Big love to you from Helotes, Tx. Blessings for 2024

Couldn't have listened to something like this at a better time. Thank you Dwayne

Surfing through and see DeWayne in a ball cap . That's new . Wonder what has changed ? Same old Dewayne , and thank God for that . Same old wine , just a different bottle . Keep on keepin' on Goldtimer . We all need to know that the way we live , the way we work , the way we think ; are normal . And sometimes WE need to just refine them a little to "stay on track" . Keep up the good work . Can't wait to read your book .😊

Love this man and the message he brings!!!

Thank you, Dwayne awesome video👍👍👍

Psalm 32:8,9 So much wisdom 🫶🏻

Words of wisdom Dwayne always enjoys and appreciate your opinion and way of living.

Every time I watch your videos, I feel like I'm there sitting with you, we're smoking a cigar, and your looking directly at me giving me this advice. You always make me soul search. I greatly appreciate your videos! May you and Mama and the rest of the Family have Very Blessed 2024!

Good stuff, Dewayne! Very well stated!

I absolutely am hooked on your videos. Every year I say this is the year I’m not going to be broke. So last year I wanted to study AWS sysops and become a junior cloud engineer. Well I failed and I’m still broke. It’s like I feel like I don’t know how to succeed in this life. I have been playing music for 20 years and feel like a failure in that to bc I have never played live. Anyways just thought I would give my new years story and this year I am done saying I’m doing anything(I’m also 35 and getting scared I’m getting older with no career)

Been struggling through the holiday season and really needed the wise words

The issue I had was removing but not replacing, and what do ya know the problems came back worse. Replacement is KEY and I was able to learn that today. Thank you

Praise God for you. You inspire me.

Happy New Year! I hope it brings you and your close ones many good memories and fortunes!

I feel like your words and wisdom are so simple yet overlooked. What I mean to say is that it's not a new discovery! It's obvious, but somehow, I don't think about these words myself when I find that I am struggling. I hope that makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to do what you do: share your wisdom with everyone here.

I am looking forward to your book, Dwayne. I have fallen back in love with reading. It was frustrating at first. I'd clear about 10 pages given an hour. I've only gotten incrementally better these past few months, but with every page I absorb, I become that much more formidable. For any guy struggling in the age of instant gratification and short-form content, I believe in you. Start now.

Always a pleasure to hear you 💪

Thanks I needed to hear this, yesterday I realized I need to move from where I am as its doing nothing for me and if I move I can advance my life substantially.

Thanks Dwane, very good message .....reminds me that Shakespeare in his famous "Richard the third" puts the horse in the center of the story ...where Richard III had to chose between the kingdom and the horse , he chose the horse

Sir, I know nothing about horses. I am an IT manager in mid 40s who follows your content since couple of months. Not too many people has a gift to share wisdom in simple form. Thank You! Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱.

You handled that Brad Lea interview beautifully. Calm, cool, and collected. Your explanation of the trinity was fantastic. Most importantly, you shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a whole new audience. Praise God.

Thank you for your help. Your talks are very beneficial to me.

Thank you Dewayne! Mighty fine advice for the New Year! Health and happiness to you & the family!

Great haircut D money. Appreciate you

If you feel like like running-- instead of removing yourself from the situation, offer yourself something calm. Replace fear with wisdom, knowledge and experience which supplies self-confidence. Self confidence leads to calmness and calmness leads to safety. This is pure wisdom. Dewayne, I am applying this wisdom and knowledge to my innate feeling to shut down in my relationship. Everytime he says or does something I feel I wrong (due to his ill behavior and bad mouth against me in our history) I immediately tell him to get away from me. I tell him to leave me alone and to go away. It's been a long journey with him and I do feel like giving up because I feel like it's time for HIM to change. I feel that ive been ever changing for 13 years and for him, he just gets to be stiff. I don't get it most days and I've developed such a deep anger with him and his chosen ways. I can bend if he can bend. I just want him to see the light.

Happy new year and thanks for the wisdom 👍 always something I need to hear when I need to hear it

hey thanks for teaching me a lot of motivation hope you are doing well in life I plan on owning several businesses, but I have objects in my way such as distractions and addictions and you teach me how to avoid it.

Very good word, thank you 🙏☦️

Thank you, Dewayne. I wish all the best for you and your family

I am training myself now to replace my people pleasing tendencies with new skill of setting boundaries or talking my truth (for example that I don’t like something instead of pretending I do). This is a fascinating process of transformation! It’s very similar to training dogs: the dog won’t stop to like chasing cats, for example, but if you teach her recall and reward generously, it will come to you instead of a cat. Reward yourself for making better choices 😊 Thank you, Dewayne!

Mine remains the same every year: Grow in the Lord, and read the Bible thru every year.

The tack shed (outside of my saddle shop) is my 2nd favorite place to hang out in. Calming and comforting.

Thank you sir maybe I can use this to help fight off some of my anxiety issues I’m a new subscriber I’m not the most knowledgeable or even that into horses but I am into good advice and good people thanks for the helpful tips

Dewayne, your advice is amazing and inspiring. God bless your heart. I’d like to add to your advice a little. You talked about taking away the bad and replacing with the good. And for those who may see fit to just simply add something good to their life this year. Here’s a little advice: Start small, don’t start big. Wanna become a reader? Ok, simply read 2 minutes a day of a book, a month later increase it to a page a day, and keep growing like that until you reach your goal.

Very well put, as ever. It took me to my late forties until I managed to sort myself out. The big sneeze closed down my business, and it was the best thing that ever happened, led me on a path to happiness and a self awareness that I'd always managed to avoid. And honestly, the best thing about it was that my current situation is all the more valuable because I understand the alternative is somewhere I never want to go to again. I think the 'path' is a slope, I'm on wheels, and if I don't keep pushing forward, I might roll back.

your video's really help me overcome my demons you are helping me become a better version of me!

Man it is incredible how much I learn with you Noel. Sincerely each one of your videos is better than the last one. Keep up the great work of yours, it is very inspiring! Also, I'm very excited for that book of yours, keep us tracked!

I'm 30 years old been following you for about a year now and Thank you for sharing your advice at anytime

This is something that very few tend to understand about overcoming bad habits (or even behavioral addictions). I appreciate you for bringing it to light. I look up to you, and hearing it coming from you directly really helps me overcome my own battles. Thank you sir

This video felt like it was exactly what I needed to hear right now. Thank you, Dwayne!

Thank you Dewayne. Needed this message so much tonight.

You always give us such good advice in ways that are easy to understand. Thank you! You are such a good teacher.

Special moods you have making every one of your videos. God be with you, your family and mama. Beautiful job!

Thank you so much for this video. These were words I absolutely needed to hear.

Can't say enough, you have brought me though some tuff days thank you Dwayne

Sir. YOU are spot on . Cheers.

Happy new year Dwayne, looking forward to more of your videos throughout 2024.

Words of wisdom God bless , see you down the trail.

Thanks for your insight! Godspeed

Thank you. I really needed this advice.

Thanks uncle Dwayne. You always seem to give me the right tools to handle my problems. I know I don’t need to do what you say to a T but it gives me a different perspective on what I should be doin which seems to be just enough each time.

Started reading Meditations, just ordered several of the classics from Thrift books. timely advice as always thank you for sharing. Myself is my main project for the new year. Take care Sir.

Hey Dewayne, been away a bit, good message and a ton of truth and wisdom! Beard is looking good and the blonde pipe is nice! God bless y'all real good! ❤

Exactly what I needed to hear. I feel encouraged and reaffirmed at the same time. Thank you

Good talk man and you are 100% right. Happy New Year

This video was a great source of encouragement for me. Thank you!

Interesting how these things fall into place more easily as we progress through our lives.

Thank you man, your videos are like an extra push that leads me to make an even bigger effort in being better and better everyday

Thank you for these videos, you are the best.

I always noticed that whenever I gained something positive, something negative about my life(that's in my control) would seem to fade away. I guess I chalked it up to a rare instance of something good happening to me, keep in mind my origins weren't the most loving or optimistic. However with this video, you actually explained those instances. The bad things didn't just leave because of goodluck, it was because I gained something new to replace that horrible coping mechanism I had. Thanks for the small revelation, hope I can use this information to better my work habits, I definitely shrunk into a little videogame addiction as a form of escapism over the holiday break. Can't wait to get back to work and happy new years everyone! - From Illinois

Always wise words. I have little to no knowledge or application for horses, but this content extends to life lessons. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and pouring into others! This is so beneficial.

Thanks Dwayne, I really NEED this today and your wisdom always gets on time for it. I'm still keep grinding myself, but I'm thankful for all things god have gave and put me through to make me stronger and wiser. God bless your knowledge and your family. Keep it up!

Have a blessed New Year! Dewayne! You will change and touch many lives! Take care!

The best message I heard to help my change of path, thanks Dewayne

I really enjoy your videos and just listening to your wisdom. By listening to you for these last couple weeks it’s made me want to change me and take your advice and be a better person. Thank you

Hey! First of all, I’m glad I have subscribed to your channel. There is an enlightenment in your messages and I think they are wonderful. It’s great how you talk to people and encourage folks rather than talk down to them. Please keep up the good work Mr. Duane. I grow with your wisdom and words of encouragement✊🏾☺️✊🏾☺️✊🏾

Thanks for putting things into perspective- really makes it easy to visualize the meaning! 29. years old here and i'll say your videos are a golden nugget hah and happy new year ;-)

Many thanks and love from Azerbaijan! Happy New Year!

I agree with your overall sentiment. Positive change requires positive, determined decisions over the long term. Jocko Willink would endorse this advice--do what is right and maintain your discipline. Happy New Year to you and the family, Dewayne.

Thank you for the wisdom, God Bless you for this.

Thanks Dwayne. Very wise words as always. Appreciated

This is the best channel on KZfaq. Always appreciate the wisdom and virtues shared here. Have a great year, D’Wayne.

I'm not a person that comments a lot on yt, but I've gotta say that this is a great video,, just like all of your videos. They always make me think deeply about my life and how I can develop it to make it better. Also, it's incredibly interesting how you can correlate your experiences with overall life experiences.

I stumbled across your channel when I was a younger man, and through your words of wisdom; I have become a better and stronger man in mind and body. There are many more young men, who may be unsure of their role in life. Your channel gives the many a positive direction for the many you have helped. Sending you abundant gratitude and thanks from South Texas, U.S.A.

Thanks for your words, I really needed to hear this message. I need to change a lot of bad habits.
