Brave is not the one who is not afraid but the one who goes forward despite being afraid.

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful content…for putting it out there with the passion that many of us need and strive for. I'm starting to listen to you almost every morning. Your voice and words are calming, clarifying, uplifting and motivating. It feels real and genuine. I am grateful to have your channel as a source for having a better relationship with myself and the world around me.

By far “discipline” is the most important part of character. Never give up!

Hey, you. whoever’s reading this, this is your sign. everything’s gonna be okay. you did not come this far to give up. I believe in you ❤

Bro… Time Kennedy is such a great man. I really love his humility and compassion. So respectable.

The world needs more Tim Kennedys, the bloke is an absolute badass, his mentality is what more of this world needs

Needed this video so badly. Thank you. So true you are. You should tour the US high school with your message because our children don’t realize the sacrifices others make for them. My one son worked his butt off during the pandemic while his friends took the government handouts. He had to pay taxes for his hard work but he gained self respect which is priceless. Thank you for your service

America needs way more Tim Kennedys. Thank you and all that serve for everything you do. Stay blessed. 🙏🏼🇺🇸

Praying for our Patriot Veteran Brothers and Sisters who are struggling!

Never forget the hard times that is when you are shaped. Never waste the pain in your life . There is purpose in the pain . Never ever forget that .

Tim Kennedy is a true warrior and someone that represents the best of this generation.

Great wisdom - words man. I was explaining this in so many ways to my 19 yr old son right before he left for Parris Island last month...Army 12B 96-06 👊

Tim and I chose similar paths in life. I’m no longer in group or the military. I’m a cop now and I was speaking to other officers the other day about the importance of being a dangerous person and being in control of that. Being a good man is being dangerous and knowing when it’s time to be dangerous. Being a good man is recognizing failure, acceptance of that failure and learning then growing from that failure. Life is about valleys, hills and mountain tops and you will never appreciate one without the other. “De Oppresso Liber”

As a veteran of the IDF I absolutely agree with you!

The words in this video belong in basic training and in a book! These are so true and honest pieces of advice. I remember how hard it was going through ranger school and then on to Q course. I was discharged in 2002 after receiving my second purple heart. And it hurt to be let go. But if people would listen to the advice given in this video, it will make you so much stronger and a better person! I never had a d.i. cadre or any officer give half of good of advice as what is spoken in this video. Listening to this gave me back that fire I need to get through everyday with the ptsd and mental bs of what we went through. But it was WORTH IT! God bless all my vetren and active brothers fighting the good fight! And thank you for making this video. You put fresh air back into a broken down old msgt. God bless you all and God bless the U.S.A!

Going through the fire is not suffering. The suffering is the people that love the person going through the fire. They are powerless. Their task is much more deep. I never realized when I was deployed to Vietnam what my mother went through until my son deployed as a Ranger to both Iraq and Afghanistan. My Mother went through my Father going through WWII, me with Vietnam , then her grandson. Now Im 73 and going through treatment for cancer since 2015. I still workout as much as I can. When I first got sick I was doing 40 reps with 440 on leg presses and weighed 230. Now I do 160 12 reps and weigh 170. Its a balancing act. Chemo prevents cancer cells from growing, same with muscle. So you have to be careful to not overtrain, but if you don't train you loose weight fast. I don't fight cancer, I leave that to my Docs. I show up and try to answer their questions as honestly as I can. But being can do and suck it up can get you killed in chemo. I would tell my doc I could do another cycle and my wife blew up. She let the cat out of the bag that I couldn't walk 20 feet without looking like I ran a marathon. So my doc gave me a break and changed meds. I am now up from 158 to 170. That took a while. But the journey is different because of what Tim talks about having that guy to your left and to your right. You keep going forward. With our those beside you you can be fooled into thinking going forward regardless is the right thing to do. Im learning there is a balance to this cancer arena. My Infantry, SF and Aviation background is both a help and a burden. It's ok to not be the badass. Your doc can't make the right call if you don't have the word can't in your vocabulary. Your milage may vary.

Beautiful video. I remember these times

I wanna have a deep conversaiton with this man...

This is refreshing, I’m an immigrant to the US when I was 16, I’m 21 now and the huge difference in what men are pushed to be is a huge surprise to me. And my dad is exactly like you describe, a farmer, and a special forces man who has this duality of being an absolute unit, but his family never sees it, but knows it’s there, and I want that duality. Feeling like I SHOULD be non violent, not because I can’t, but because I’m capable and made a choice. I just got my citizenship and joining the military in 6 months to try to awaken that competitive, aggressive and primal part of myself that society doesn’t allow me to be. Your videos are a great help

Tim been watching you years you are the real deal. Natural born bad ass

AMEN BROTHER.....RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!

To hear this warriors insight is amazing. He basically told you how to be a man without labeling it, How to Be a Man....

Thank you God for helping and guiding my friend. Thank you for everything now she found you ❣ I'm crying right now, we are blessed co'z we have you God🥺 I love you God. I love you so much🥺😭😭 Thank you father God❤

America 🇺🇸 will be a great country if we get a good soldiers like you. God bless you for your service to our country ❤❤🙏🇺🇸

Never ever give up fightING for a TRUE

What you’re saying can’t be said any better. Without going through THE FIRE 🔥 we’re worthless. I so miss the ARMY, yes there’s parts I don’t miss “GARRISON” but the hard training with Weapons and Demo and Physical Training, that’s what made me a Man. SAPPERS CLEAR THE WAY HOOAH 😤

I like that. If you're not an athletically gifted super badass you're just a bag of blood.

Complacency is the most dangerous threat to the one who has it.

There is no shame in getting back up brother 1st or 2nd and going at it again...always looking to improve from the last test, scenario or event. These platforms we share on somehow makes us show the worst or best yet the reality is " we missed 1 training session, and not 3 months" . I like what im seeing keep the iron hot.!!

Thank you for this video it means the world to me. Truth is that Kennedy’s words resonates 💯 it’s all me. Hearing it from another makes it even more meaningful especially when my injuries don’t heal. Every morning is a battle, the pain keeps me from sleeping… but I will keep moving even if it means I have to crawl.

Greetings all the way from Sweden 🇸🇪 Brother You lead the Way 👏💪👊

Only Tim can pull off those shorts. RLTW🤙

The Root in '83. Ground Zero NYC on the morning of 9-11-01. I was not alone then, I am not alone now, and neither are you my friend, my Brother, my Sister. We are still here for a reason. Know that in your heart and your mind will follow. We will get through together, like we always have. I am a good listener if you need me. -Patrick.

"you fall to the level of your traing" - an absolutely sobering reminder.

It’s hard to sit here being challenged as a veteran to be training. Yet I am waiting for a surgery in September to repair my rotator cuff and torn bicep. I hope and pray I can rehab before the shit hits the fan... ugh.

What if Tim came out of retirement for ONE more run!

I remember how homesick I was. Aside from the fear, I remember how much I missed my Mom & Dad.

*MUST READ FOR EVERYONE* I started this channel 2020 but it got to a point i got tired and quit because I thought growing Channel would be so easy but now i realized i need to keep onto it and to create a very good CONTENT that you will benefited from and i also realized that *SUCCESS TAKE TIME and to NEVER GIVER UP ON THE PURSUIT OF ONES DREAM* so am back fully now with high determination, persistence and relentlessness. So my aim of telling you this story is to let you know that *SUCCESS TAKE TIME AND TO NEVER GIVE UP ON THE PURSUIT OF YOUR DREAM* I Love You 💗 💕 ❤️

🔥❤

Dig that

I like how he bears his thinning hair with pride lol. Then i can too lol. Nice shorts btw 🤪

He not bullshitting at all. USS Kitty Hawk (CVA-63), Thank you for Shar this as well as your service Tim to our nation. Salute!

I'm a Vet...and have NEVER forgotten, and as I keep training, privately...I consider myself lucky...

Tim is a living Saint, in my opinion. He would say no but I believe he is a modern saint...

I train hard, in the gym and on my mountain bike. 7-10 hours hard at it per week. I regulate my food intake, eating only actual food like beans, beef, oats, honey, coconut oil, salt, brown rice, organic bread, eggs. My knives are sharp. My gear is prepared, in place, loaded up and ready. I read and study the manuals and topics I need to know, and I watch the enemy positioning. Push will come to shove and like a boxing match - that bell is going to ring and when it does, if you are not ready you are going to get your butt handed to you in a bucket. It's not a fantasy any more. Its tomorrow.

Oorah Brother.. thank you for your service and Sacrifices.. Your words are truth and inspiration, thank you for trying too help us sheep. Keep it up. Once more into the fray, too continue that Good fight. I am scared, and i am trying too regain my bearing, my health and my mind. Fuck life is Hard, but all we can do is either move forward or die and i Dont want too die, so i keep moving one foot in front of the other no matter the suffering or pain, for pain is weakness leaving the body and only temporary. Stay frosty with your head on a swivel, brother.. i Love Yal, be safe America

I used to preach move forward like you are already dead, I think now I would teach move forward to keep your team alive.

Love hearing his experience and knowledge

Needed that one ! Thanks Tim

i wanna be a demon a monster and i am currently trying to be that demon

🙏🏻🙏🏻

I remember the suffering. I remember the good times. I remember most of it. Going through all that then made me tougher. And more appropriative of the good things in life

Thank you sir

I signed up for the Dutch Green berets, best decision I have made.

Pain is temporary. Suffering is a choice. Live with pain and not in pain.

I think for many it’s more about doing so much trying to do good in the world and realizing it doesn’t mean anything.

Love Tim 💜

Well said 🦾

Realize you are created in the image of the most High and overcome the demons.

Thank You

I needed this today

Lets goooo TIM!!!!!

Thank you. This video is very inspiring.

Awesome stuff brothers 🙏🏼

😊 the warrior ethos

I wish that Ted Kennedy live closer to the school were I work as JROTC instructor. I know my cadets would love to see him.

great man

Everyone is scared but we go anyway.

I'm blessed, God has given me A gorgeous Wife that loves me, 2 sons and 2 daughters a great job. Making a good living. But I have never felt like I was worth anything with all that I'm blessed with. Only when I was a MARINE 0331 and Swine in STA. As miserable and hard as it could be. I was worth something to my self. I spent 16 years in. And all that I am on the other side is worthless. I'm ashamed that I can't do it anymore. Because I feel like even there at my ABSOLUTE WORST then, I was better than I could ever be here, now. I just feel as though I'm supposed to be the guy I was, and thats the guy I am.......................... And literally no one outside my marine brothers get that.

Great man thankyou.

Average Civilians: do bare minimum, cut any corner possible, set up anyone holding them accountable, show up late and leave early

Love these short films keep it up

I'm still procrastinating, full of fear, selfdoubt, etc... KNOWING what i CAN be & do.... even after watching thousands of videos, 2-10 a day... doing my job, but only for others.... HELP ??? how can I do it for ME ... ???

Survival and propagation of traits that promote survival.

Tim glowing like a fedboi

Thank you Tim I needed to hear that..... God save you. Spc Fricke Us Army.

You gotta be a baddass to wear shorts like that. These dudes are truly the best representation of the U.S.A.

1:47 zayum zaddy

All who walk the Spec Ops path have a deep sense of responsibility and are far more effective in ANY battle scenario. Creativity and their ethos make them, truly, the tip of the spear. Give me 100 operators who've gone through the CRT and I can take any ground, face any larger force and control the situation. To all who walk that path, I honor you dedicated few.

We are the next generation of warriors. We must fix our country. American pride. The power is in the ppl. Honor those that died by being better and growing.

Attention! Hand Salute!

Iron sharpens iron

Many SOF community members don't like sheepdog Tim but they don't say it to his face. 🇺🇲🙏🏿🙏🏿♥️

Wow just wow

Love you Tim Kennedy! I wont quit. Your feeling the life force and you are divinely protected. If you knew how many of the prayers of the faithful and righteousness pray specifically for our military and the good people that protect democracy..... Maybe really you do feel the prayers you havent fully put that into context that it was divine assistance. Tim, my prayer is that you will futher the light and knowledge that you have been given to be enhanced unto the limitlessness of your spirit that is with in you. Our flag, our cause is one of divine appointment. I too, am another type of warrior on the home front who is anointed to fight the battles of addiction, alcoholism, and temptations of all kind. You have been gifted in the literal art of war. You are protected because your love for God (as you understand Him), family, and country that permeates through and shines brightly in all your countenances. I know you know what I am talking about. What your doing is so passionate and resognates so strongly, your actions speak so loudly we cannot hear what you are saying. I know hurt and pain, but in different ways of staying clean and sober for almost 13 years. I almost died of alcholism. After time and time again of going to jail and burning my hand on the proverbial stove....... I have dedicated my life to Jesus Christ. The Lord has a plan even for even a stubborn Ranger qualified Green Beret. Brother, you are on your mission now, and you have not even seen your best work. None of us have because the best days are ahead of us. As you said to we must continue to go through the refiners fire, again, again, and again, as we transform and our nature's are changed through Christ's power. “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, “Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, “That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, “May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; “And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God” (Ephesians 3:14-19). Patience with the process “Ye are little children and ye cannot bear all things now; ye must grow in grace and in the knowledge of the truth. “Fear not, little children, for you are mine, and I have overcome the world, … “And none of them that my Father hath given me shall be lost” (D&C 50:40-42). One of the best descriptions of this process can be found in these words of President Ezra Taft Benson: “The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature. … “May we be convinced that Jesus is the Christ, choose to follow Him, be changed for Him, captained by Him, consumed in Him, and born again” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1985, 5-6; or Ensign, Nov. 1985, 6-7). On behalf of Tim Kennedy, his family , all the special forces community, and all the rest of the veterans, please feel our love for you and for your families to protect this great nation upon its ancient history that was for-ordained before the world was. That is why most if the world cannot explain something's happening to them within that they cannot put a finger on just yet. I bear my full witness and can testify of the truthfulness of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ on the American continent. That is why the Declaration of Independence was for- ordained on this continent and no where else. That is why we are free to worship and our faith increases and enhances our resolve. Tim you know deep down in your soul you feel what I'm saying. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Saints and I believe and I am a fierce patriot as well. Thank you for helping all of us prepare more confidently and enthusiastially about " This freedom thing, (deep pause) once you get a taste of it, its a drink you can't get enough of" - Tim Kennedy. Don't put a limiting belief (or a spiritual cap) on what you may think you know about the mysteries of the universe or of God. Jesus says "come, follow me". Take up His cross and have faith to believe Him and in Him, and he will take you to transcendence and past it into the eternities with things our human frame cannot fathom. 🌞🌝🌚🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌜🌛🌙🌍🌎🌏🌌🌠⭐☀⛅ P.S if you have questions the missionaries can help. Via con Dios mi hermano Paz

Yeah I will

Absolutely

You get what everyone else gets, you get a lifetime.

Dear - जो लोग इस वक्त मेरे कॉमेंट को पढ़ रहे है हम सभी एक दूसरे से अनजान है फिर भी मैं भगवान से प्रार्थना करती हूँ कि आपके जीवन मे कोई टेंशन ना रहे और आप हमेशा खुश रहे 💔❤❤

1:49 gah DAMN

If we don't suffer for Freedom then we give to Evil our younger generation... When you try and help people you don't do it to get something in return...you don't do it to be a Hero... or for medals or recognition.. you do it because if you dont those people can't & wont.. they cant do it or keep themselves free or just... You do it because ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO... like what would this world be without Strong mens Humanity and Upholding Freedom? What are WE leaving for the Young Americans and others of the free world... Its free right now in most places because Good Men are prepared to go fight for it and do if needed to keep the world FREE & JUST

🙏🏼👊🏼💯

Brother I love to hear your Stories, I wasn’t in the Services but was a Fireman for 23 Years at a very Busy Department running many calls a Day, Unfortunately I have seen Death from the very Youngest to the Oldest. Still to this day I make Bed the very first thing when I get out of Bed, my Wife asked me one day and I explained to her the thing is when you start your day with that simple little task it always puts my mindset that my day will consist of Starting and Completing every Task I start. Also it starts my mind off that I completed something from the very start of my day. Tim I Honestly believe Sir that You are and will go on to do so many Great Things way past your Trainings, Business’s and Schools. I believe what ever you do which will be Great will Be a Part of Our Great American Love Story, I am not referring to your Wife I am Speaking on Your Greatness. P.S. No Sire I Don’t have a Man Crush I just know People.

American people love and pray for our Soldiers. They protect Our Rights our freedom.

Gentlemen, I was only a wrench-turner in the military so go ahead and dismiss what I'm about to say if you want. Even though we see a GREAT Darkness on the Horizon, just remember that eventually the sun always rises. I need, WE need as many of you Veterans and Patriots as possible to survive until the sun rises because THAT IS WHEN the real work begins. Re-building our nation into the Light on the Hill Meritocracy that God intended it to be from the beginning. God Bless, and please stay alive my Countrymen.

#254 LOVE THIS GUY.

GOD the GREAT SPIRIT please !!!! Help humanity.🙏

words of wisdom....and fight for the right reasons.m Kennedy....I like the the way you think...I'm over the hill,... remember the bed .....only some do.....yepper.👊👊👆💥 funny I learned how to swim the same way....then I became a manfish.... joking but I loved swimming..... weird circumstances we get into and overcome.no rant 2day.

Are You asking Me what's the Problem?? ... Gutting it, that's the real Death of a Soldier, when the become Complacent. When they are walking through the course, not with the intent to Build Themselves Or Others!! It's a Posine, in a group.. and it takes a Honest Man taking his Life into consciousness and considering Are the Being A + to the Team? Because YOU SAVE yourself If you take the steps out...

He is correct.
