Thanks

5 I thought it was win battles with yourself and don't be the natural man. I'm new to the channel, just thought that was important.

Thank you. Honestly, I wish youtubers would provide a list like this at the beginning of their video

@@modernmistyk4341 ikr!

The USMC has that effect on people. You learn that you have the ability to move mountains with sheer will and effort.

Well said Marine! As a retired Army grunt myself. The "terrian dictates" and "adapt and overcome" principles I found are adaptable to everyday life. Im only 47, and if someone had told me 5 years ago that men would start to become soup sandwiches, I wouldnt have believed it. If you see something wrong....do something, sound off like you've got a pair! Get along to get along, to each his own and I always reserve the right to agree to disagree. I still uphold the oath I took back in 91'. I applaud all of you gentlemen for maintaining your bearing and driving on! God Bless you all. God Bless America🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you for your service and for staying true! You are appreciated and loved! ❤️

Thank you for your services sir, I’ll keep that in mind

You and Jay are what I expect from our military. Good on you.

Hell yea!

Nice job brother, I just turned 45 last week and I need to start exercising more brother . I work a ton but jogging needs to start. Cheers Olympia WA

That's awesome

Respect. As corny as the saying "Age is just another number" might be, you can always better yourself regardless of age. I wish you strength to continue! All the best to you!

Good effort mate

Meditations is a fantastic book.

Thanks for the pointers old timer👍🏼

Completely agree, on reading the Bible as well as Aerelius. It took me a little bit longer than you to realize I need to take care of myself above all else, and I focused too much on "keeping up" with "friends" and women for years and years. The most valuable things I have learned in my 41 years so far are self care, leaving toxic situations and people immediately, and focusing completely on leaving the rat race as soon as humanly possible. Godspeed brother.

Forty in October big brother and I planed a real estate empire 25 years ago that's firing up now after buying the property's in 17 for pennies on the dollar like in the movies where the government has a little known about public land auction website. Developing a couple to sell this year. Make the plan then die with the plan, never have a Plan B that just brings up the conversation quitting could be a option.

@@zacharycarrpublicadjuster7298 good on ya! Absolutely correct, carry-on.

You are a very smart Man Danny, and do not worry about those who choose to be a Mule for her.

@@madhatter9001 thanks brother. I hope you're well.

Good goin Danny! You should do whatever makes you happy in life ❤️☀️🥰

@@1111om thanks, Heather. I hope you’re doing well.

Danny D you will live a long healthy life.

Same here bro.. It’s Time for the “nice guy” to have fun.

Same here!

Sabotaging self has been a thorn in my side. For the last 4 years, I'm sabotage self free.

Few things I did. I stopped smoking and drinking. Stopped dating toxic females. Love them, but they are not good for me. Stopped watching too much TV and working exessive hours. I workout more, more active and spend way more time with my kids. Good diet. Also take your vitamins (especially Vitamin D). Few things that have made a huge difference in my life. PS My kids live with me 70% of the time.

@@hjsegui I'm 42, divorced, and live with my two boys 100% of the time. Was scared as to how I was gonna raise them by myself. 2 years down the line my life is taking shape, my body as well. I no longer tolerate bullsh!t in any relationship. I come first.

It reminds me of something that George Carlin said

nice

Actually George Carlin was one of the great philosophers of our time. He just happened to also be funny 😀

@@omahajim45 It's funny how he predicted what's going on today's society

Well said 👍🏽

Sounds almost identical to what you been threw except I’m 10 years older starting over Keep up the good work!!!!!!

@@Jays0979 We got this, Jayson! Life is sweet on the other side! God is good!

I don’t know you, but I’m proud of you brother! Keep at it. You’ve got at least one new person rooting for you.

Thank you for sharing your story. It would seem, based on the broad strokes you shared about your life we have some trials in common. By recounting not just the "good parts" but a whole picture you've managed to communicate hope for better times to me if I continue the "grind" forward. Very encouraging.

Thank you for sharing... This is definitely inspiring

Thank you, wise brother

Me too. I’m waking up after going along with the bs

It's not the dark ages, 47 is young these days, you got decades to go bud, you're gonna crush it

It's never too late to turn things around. New day starts at midnight.

Me too brother

I heard that. I'm done with it. Looking forward to new beginnings.

I’m 5 years in and I am getting out. Not sure how you put up with the BS but it makes my head hurt.

Brother, it is a rough journey leaving the Army life. Find another mission immediately. Don't linger it is weird becoming a civilian. God bless you, and thank you for your service.

More changes than you can imagine. Hopefully you are debt free with savings. Keep active don't let yourself go. Try to find ajob you like. Seek the Lord Find a good church, the support of other godly men is really helpful. Will pray for you

@@chrishugs6173 There's b.s. even out here man. In my opinion, more than in the military. Thats life.

@@chrishugs6173 Time to join the salvation army.

I am 62. I am below 25 on the BMI scale. I am a better off-road motorcycle rider now than when I was 18. I could go on in this vein, but I won’t; you get the idea.

I'm 49, I'm feeling optimistic reading these comments.

65 here. Lifestyle of exercise, nothing stupid. Been told I’ve got the heart of a 18 yr old endurance athlete. We all have our bad days, up and downs, stay focused. It pays dividends when you get older. Getting ready to retire in a couple of months. Stay strong, men. Our country will be calling on us very soon.

Army 23 years. Thank you for your service

Good move stay focused on your carrier stay single learn to just talk to a couple of girls here and there but no attachment sex will come of it but move on and stay focused on your carrier

Look up for Corey Wayne On KZfaq, he'll help you get the girl you wish for.

Nice guys dont finish

@He IsLord actually the world isn't that a fine place after all, so though staying lonely might be difficult at 80 but it will be better than having a bitter taste all through out till 80

maybe she had other ideas of what a princess is guy...theres so many mistakes here i dont know where to start but for the good of all mankind, i will try: *slaps the sht out of you through the internet* tell me when you find something that makes us happy out here...we get a fleeting glimpse at best. suffering is the price of life. its unrealistic to expect having any kind of control over that. thats why love is worth the struggle. the helplessness, that unstoppable surrender, the uncertainty, its all normal. cant control that either. the joy when we find our worries had no merit? life changing. but rare. we lose faith and stop looking before we get there. we get hurt past any point of bearable and we shut it all down. we rationalize, stigmatize, ostracize our hearts away. it gets cold, we buckle up, double down. we get stiff. hard. and befre you know it *bink* big ole scary lookin block of ice, out on a glacier, sliding towards the water. and you start wishing you could feel anything agian. broken hearts included. how anything suppoise to spontaniously hapen in that. its rare because its hard to not fk it up almost immediately out of fear. but thats because nature wants the best of the best. love is the absence of fear. you can of course fix an unhealthy upbringing and a lot of relationships are these natural battlegrounds of the heart which lead to break down and failure. but then learning and growth. and eventually it whips you into shape, or it doesnt and you repeat lesson 1 over and over.

People say covid patients always have high c reactive protein and high fibrin(clots)??

If Jesus helps you I think that is great and awesome. But I ask this of you Brother.Turn to your Ancestors and talk to them ask them for Guidance in life. They will speak to you and come to you.

Great quote!

This is a fantastic statement, well done.

aye you got this yo

I felt the same way at 26. Now, at 46, I’ve accomplished everything I set out to do. My kids are raised. I built my own house. I’ve paid off all my self-sabotage(ing) debts. It takes time, sir. The days are long but the years are short. I hope this is helpful.

Any advice for a 19 year old?

@@michaeldalton8374 It's reading comments like this that makes me feel that humanity will be ok. This whole comment thread is refreshing

@@rasheemthebestfirstone3274 Invest in a few books about self-care. When you've established healthy eating, sleeping, and exercise/work routines and you become interested in forming a relationship with a woman, stop. And ask yourself how well you know yourself and your own mind. Or what you want to accomplish in life? Internalize your own locus of control-- this is the step that will allow you to continue to make truly independent choices and keep you from getting manipulated and caught up/used in other people's (a woman's) plans. Learn about attachment theory. It governs how past significant relationships have influenced another person's thinking and/or actions. Learn about boundaries in relationships that are the way to safeguard your own self-respect and helps define the differences between you and others. And, never surrender the good relationships you've formed with male friends to placate any woman you might be interested in getting to know better. That's how you build loyalty in your friendships.

Thanks brother

Im 40, Your comment just inspired me bro. I know Im not alone. My whole life has bee trauma and horrible choices and friends Ive had in life. I am fighting depression but if we dig deep, we will grow. Monk mode for me. No distractions. Salute.

@@teshmorrow605 the only way I'm going to stop trying as if I know today is my last day (even then I'm going to try all the way up until my last breath!) we can never give up! we have people that depend on us as men to provide for them and protect them. Somehow it has become socially acceptable to let your loved ones down (we have to change that) Keep fighting and find your purpose brother! once you find that purpose,everything else falls into place

True.

As for me, my first 60 years of childhood were the most difficult ... Yet I still deploy via OGA/NGO contracts ... TOML

im 20 and i realise this, ig some learn later than others

@@jotarozee9548 you think you're better than chris ?

@@TheSAD999 im not better than nobody im just saying i realized what he was saying

i never cared what anyone thought of me, not in high school in 1991, not now. NEVER

I thought the very same thing when I was reading the comments. I see you Xuan, I see you.

Wow so your only give a shit about yourself what if they have a mental illness you going to teach your son about the way you think

Sounds about rite Romeo , thumbs up brother.

@@the_professor_70 thanks my man. You must be a parent too!

Being a good father to your son is very important

@@elmalanmalan2175 thank you, my friend. Exactly

55? So you got at least another 30 years, sounds like enough time to conquer the world

Ive heard and believe: we have no heros...we as Americans have no age for Rights of passage . Heard Columbine may of happened simply because nobody told him any better. I believe Good people are out there and we need to surround ourselves with them. Good luck! Have a great day

Amen

Boom! Truth.

Amen brother! When you go to get a job or whatever and it doesn't go through is because GOD'S got a better door for you.

@Swat Im loving this comment bro! ive heard this before, but you brought it back to memory. Im dealing with rejection from this woman I'd been dealing with for sometime and your comment rlly helped relieve a little bit of that pain... thanks bro🙌🏾

Amen

Absolutely agree....For some reason nowadays we are taught to feel almost ashamed for being a strong Alpha (or not ) Male.

Go read 3% man, no more mr later nice guy, way of the superior man and Jordan Peterson books.

@@nathantinsley07 Thanks NT

I could almost copy and paste this comment, because I'm the same age and feel exactly like that. Also this is the first ever video I've seen on this channel.

Hey bro, it's all up to you.

Read the book he mentioned ... Wild at Heart

Congratulations to you! I wish you strength for the future. Become the example and role model that your son needs to succeed in life. All the best to you!

Congrats brother. You're on track to make a great dad if this is what you listen to for entertainment.

Congrats

One month to go my friend, raise him strong and proud

Suggest juicing and whole food vitamins. I just hit 50 and am still improving,

Had stage 3 cancer 4 years ago at51 came back now fully clear and the best physical condition of my life at 55 you can do both

cannot speak to time in the ring, and of course, The Decline is inevitable for ALL our physical bodies. but it does not have to happen at fifty. as these other two commenters point out: you CAN rejuvenate; tho yes, you'll have to be deliberately consistently focused on it (54 since last week)

@@Numantino312 I wish it hadn’t happened at fifty but it has. Im not healing from workouts as fast and it’s kind of snowballed from there.

almost forgot: look up and study Charles Atlas and Jack LaLanne. not just about how long they lived, but the shape they were in til their last days on earth

Chin up...................Blessings...................

Read the book he quoted.... Wild at Heart

@@ghhm2705 I will!! Thanks

If you can't find one make one. Woman need encouragement too. I find it sad there's so few role models for women.

I was thinking this exact same thing while reading comments.

Honestly, femininity can easily be learned right here in the manosphere simply by reading between the lines. Woman tend to be quite good at that?😜 A few examples to start you off on the right foot. Paul Elam has a few designed to help woman improve themselves in order to become more attractive to a man. Here is the problem though, they are geared toward men, and few woman have the ability to simply turn the talk 180 degrees in order to apply to them. Karen Straughan has many similar videos, again, geared toward men, but useful for woman with introspective.yan Alexander Grace, Courtney Ryan, Dianna Davison, there are literally thousands of MGTOW videos that would be a gold mine for woman, if they could just learn to let their feels at the door.

Between finding this video and your comment it reminds me of what men were like when my father was alive (38 years ago) I’ve been wondering (and missing) a lot lately what happened to those kinds of men?

💯

Self-narrative is the most important.

im 16 and i read it and i listen to their podcast, its amazing, also jocko willink has good books

@@Robbiedoesitbest Keep at it, bro! Focus on learning from mentors from a young age and you'll have a bright future 🙃.

Let’s get it! Don’t have a kid but I work long hours and force myself to make time for fitness. No excuses 💪🙏

Hat that dumb saying we ad humans need sleep

Ha! Warren Zevon! Theme song for me Have a great day!
