The world is your oyster if you think it is.... LOL 世の中、思いどおりだと思えばそうなりますよね笑

"Treat life like a party, arrive, enjoy, and depart." Perfect way of describing life. ❤

"I would like to treat life like a party- arrive, enjoy and depart"...YOU ROCK! Thank you!! :D

I never understood the obsession with success, wealth, purpose, or even meaning!? the fact that you are part of creation and society, that alone makes you worthy! everything in life has meaning. Just because you are better off financially, emotionally, and health wise then others, it doesn't mean you are spiritually!! spiritual wealth in my humble opinion is the key to the universal door of life.

This is so relatable. Before minimalism, I was a wreck. I feel like I am a much kinder person, because I am not reaching for the perfection anymore. Since this journey is definitely helped me become content within myself.

For me, the meaning of life is to simply live it. I heard a quote once that said, "Consciousness is the Universe acknowledging its self." We are simply consciousness in physical form. So just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I am a 63year old European Lady trying to live more and more minimalistic. To tell the truth , it isn’t easy all the times and a lot of times I fail. But what you are talking about is exactly what I am thinking. Often I have that feeling when talking to young people they don’t understand me. I will share this video to all those. Thank You so much.

Sena, I think most of us feel this when we are youngsters, I always believed something amazing would happen as I grew older, something wonderful was waiting for me just around the corner. I’m now 58 years old & I realise my time that I thought this phenomenon would happen has come & gone. I feel a little disappointed, almost cheated out of my dream for the future but what was it that I expected? I still don’t know & probably never will, I think it’s just how a young person thinks & feels in their youth. To me now the only things that do matter are being as healthy as you can be & living to your own best potential. My only true regret that I have is veering off my own ideal path many times in my life to please others people, friends or family..I often wonder what my life would’ve been like if I had stuck to my original chosen path & not allowed myself to be side- tracked, now that might have been wonderful. You are right though nothing really matters, it is for the moment & then we move on.

As I get older, Stoicism speaks louder, thanks Sena.

I'm much, much older than you, but young people like you give me such hope in a troubled world. Your interest in gender inequality makes my heart sing, and your general wisdom is refreshing. I've just discovered your channel but I'll keep watching. Good luck and all the best to you.

Everything matters in Life, no matter how big or small. Everything we do affects no just ourselves but those around us.

Well said…. ‘ Treat life like a party, arrive, enjoy, depart… i do enjoy all your topics and interesting to watch and listen to. That’s where I am now… and very happy now on my own and with myself… Keep doing what you are doing…👍♥️

Hey man I’m so happy that you came to the realization the money and ambition doesn’t bring true happiness, purpose or fulfillment! But on the other hand life and the things we do are not meaningless! We truly can change the world even by reaching out and impacting one person’s life in a positive way! I don’t know if you’re religious or not but I believe that loving God and having fellowship with Christ Jesus as well as loving one another is our true purpose in life! Just like “Cupcakes Viola” commented! That’s what we were made for, contrary to what we society tells us to strive after wealth and fame! But this couldn’t be more further from the truth! We weren’t created just to live for ourselves and care only about ourselves and our own happiness. That doesn’t mean we d as shouldn’t enjoy life and this beautiful world God has made! But we should always love one another and place others before ourselves! God bless you all.

Born, school, work, accumulating, discarding, retirement, slowing down dying! Period. The stuff in between is chasing the wind.

Minimalism with simplicity is an unburdened life. The less stuff you have the less worries you also have. Peace of mind cannot be bought, that is what minimalism provides.

Thank you for reminding me that life is indeed short and that there is great pleasure to be had in small things. I don't always remember to be nice to myself but I am getting better at not being judgmental.

Thank you for your sharing, Sena. Appreciate that. I am pondering “what happened in life doesn’t really matter”!

All you are talking about is so absolutely true in my mind !!! We should make every single day a special one in our own way. Love from Scotland :)

Im an introvert in NZ and you are an absolute gem. Thanks for bringing such insight into these topics, don't know how i even came across your channel but it's so relative.

Such a great communicator and thoughtful, intelligent and honest. Always a pleasure to watch Sena’s wise videos.

I always believe I'm doing a good job at work, but I was never promoted. I thought something was wrong with me, that I don't have 'visibility'. Being an introvert at the back of my head, I know that was not me. Then one time I heard an applicant said truthfully, she genuinely doesn't want to get promoted which caught me by surprise at that time. I came to realized promotion is not for everyone and it may not be for me. it's happy to hear others also think the same way.

Amazing video man. It really helped guide me out of a dark place. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing this perspective. I feel like I really needed it at this moment. ☁️💕

Hi, thanks for sharing your thoughts, I've already heard about "what happens to oneself is not good ir bad but how we take it", and your way of explaining it is pretty clear, even beautiful.

You're so wise. Thanks for your videos. They remind me of what really matters in life.

Thank you for providing content that is thought provoking and transformational. Btw, the shirt and medallion combo is great together. I want one. :)

The thumbnail gives me the curiousness and never doubted playing this topic,all in all your opinions are on point and great reminder for everyday basis that life is too short,so never too harsh give time and breathe* thank you 🙏🏿 New subscriber here i want more of this

This is a great perspective to have. The way you explained it shows that you don't just know what your saying, but that you are able to truly believe it. We all might live on the same planet, however we have different realities. The things you spoke of in this video are about taking the reigns to shape your own reality. And like you mentioned, there's influences from every direction that would be happy to do that for you. But they still need your approval in the end. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your journey with us.

Your channel popped up on my KZfaq and I like what you are saying because it's true. Nothing matters in the end because we all die except in my opinion, the only thing that matters is helping people out and inspiring them in a good way. It's best to just live life to the fullest everyday because you only live once. Keep up the videos because I relate to you in some things such as minimalist and I'll never get married.

Just found your channel and I have been thinking the same way, finding purposes and stuffs, they don’t matter anymore to me now and I am at peace more than ever

So glad I found you! Everything you say is so meaningful and something I need to hear! I appreciate you saying that the only limitation we have is within ourselves. It was Ghandi who said. "Become the change you want to see." You speak about that so eloquently in your video. Most of all I appreciate the truth that we are the ones that decide whether what we are doing or feeling is meaningful and not everyone else around us. We arrive, enjoy, and depart as you say, and as I reach my senior years I am trying to appreciate every little moment knowing that once it's over it's over and only I can decide how to live this one and only life I've been given. I so look forward to seeing your other videos!

This is so inspiring! Thank You!

Great ideas to think about, thank you!

Hi! Your content is really having an Impact on me, it consolidates my own thought process. Thank you

You are such a breath of fresh air, truly living what I wish my soul needs

Very well said. I agree on every words you said.

I love this reflection, totally agree with you, keep this great job of inspiring us! Blessings!

You are a very refreshing young man. I enjoyed listening to you and hearing how you are maturing.

This video is very on point, relatable, and inspiring!

This is the best video, thank you Sena

Thank you for providing me with this portion of nourishing food for thought. You're such an inspirational person. 👍👍👍

Yours r the most calming videos. Your messages should b widespread, thank u.

Thank you so much for this video! It is a great encouragement to me. 🙂

It just is....yes, exactly. Very nice video. This one convinced me to subscribe.

Your perspective on life resonated with me.

I absolutely love the way you think about your life, Sena!

Thank you sir, you have opened my eyes.

I love the messaging in your videos. More power to you!

Thanks for this. I live in Japan and majority of what happened to me are losses up until now. But at the same time, I had my most unforgettable and liberating experiences this past years and also met great people. I would say, try things and discover what can make you feel important and focus on that. We dont have to care what others (including your family) say. At the end of the day, Its just you and yourself alone who will answer to your conscience if what you have done is worthwhile.

Some very wise words in there mate! Great perspective.

You're a good man acknowledging your past self delusions to the public. That is your impact.

Such an enlightening video :) I love your channel a new subbie!

You rock, bro! Liked the vlog and already subscribed!

The universe doesn't run on meaning, only on action.

Thank you for your contribution truly opened my eyes

Absolutely agree;) Nothing really matters

Thanks for sharing your great thoughts. I’m always impressed with your video. Still I obsessed with the meaning of my life lol

great video Sena!

Thank you for sharing. 😍

Great video! Your thoughts are very insightful and interesting, and reminded me of a few things as well. Thank you!

Uncertainty of the future is what's exciting about the future. We are often unhappy because most of us carry the heavy baggage of the future rather than enjoying the present moment. If you have a state of mind that can accept what happens, you can stop being unhappy. Find happiness within yourself not outside world that we dont have control over.

Such a peaceful video. U r much younger than me but you r so matured about life. Love to watch all of ur videos. Thanks Sena. Best of luck from India.

One of my life experience recently was taking care of my mom. I did it for 8 years, i knew before i took on this duty was to transform my life into simplest form. I think that is why i enjoyed and managed to be able to look after my mom for 8 years. That experienced made me such a better person and i could never think or imagined being a minimalist is such an important factor in life. I learned to appreciate little things in life and being happy within. That way it will reflect on my mom. ☺️🙏 she is now in heaven with my dad. I know my dad taught me well. When you finally find a purpose in life… then you know in your heart that life is to be celebrated☺️❤️

american high schools and college competition is so unnecessarily stressful fml,, i just wanna live in the country and take care of my animals until i die omg

this helped put things into perspective

I am very different from you but for some reason i really enjoy this channel. Its very relaxing.

Interest in your words and thoughts makes me feel I have a teacher, you are well thought of thank you master, I will meditate on your words.peace be with you.

i agree. we have to seize the day as it comes.

I look forward to your videos thank you for all of your hard work

I like the way you think. I was encouraged! Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing. ❤️

Amzing work and understanding life and living it Sena

Look forward to your vids on how minimalism changed your life and how this one small trick change your life forever.

You are helping to change the world

Not caring about others is extreme pessimism... You only live for your own benefit without realizing we are all connected in society, to turn our backs on the suffering of others is just being extremely selfish.

A true hero

I love you Sena.

The meaning and purpose of your life are defined by what you do every day to shape it. YOU decide and define your purpose, it does not define you. Your life is not devoid of meaning, you have just framed that meaning in a smaller, more manageable space.

Awesome message

Just subbed. Excellent message here!

Great video, thanks!

Because everyday we get a new day and also new experiences. 🌠

great stuff thank you for sharing. simply awesome

Shimotsuma Sena, thank you for sharing your thoughts and vulnerability. Obrigada! =)

I find a lot of meaning in any action that I can take that will improve the lives of others and reduce suffering of myself and others. Outside of that, so much of the things we worry about are meaningless. I have only discovered your channel but I would be interest to hear your thoughts of having a family and if it's ok to choose to not have children.

If you help 1 person you are saving the world

Wise words.

You have a great opinion about life. Enjoyed every bit of it from India. Thanks.

英語を使う仕事がしたくて企業通訳の面接を受けました。面接の際の試験はボロボロでしたが何とか受かりました、、が想像より難易度が高く自信が持てず辞退しようかと思うくらい不安でいっぱいでしたが、このビデオを見て肩の力が抜けるような気持ちになれました。ありがとうございました！

You are a wise man 😊👍

Great topic! And thanks for caring about reducing inequality.

Yo handsome, personally i feel what happens in life impact & reflect how one lives in the past and future .. so to me, its important to live a life with direction & purposes .. All the best! : )

great video!!

Although your outlook on life is nihilistic. I see it and understand it. I also live it.
