  1. Two generations after you die, no one will ever remember you existed, and everything you ever were and did will be completely forgotten.

  2. I'm 58 and worked 26 years in nursing homes. I can PROMISE you money and material possessions is not the answer. I would always try and make the older folks laugh, smile, and pick their brains about the past. Nothing better than coming into work and seeing older folk's face light up when they see you cuz they know you care about them and listen when they talk. Love is the answer, simple as that

  3. When you start worrying that you're wasting your life, you're wasting your time.

  4. One of my favorite quotes has become, "Time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time."

  5. "If you've got problems, help other folks solve theirs and yours will seem rather small" Very deep!

  6. I am turning 43 this month. One thing for sure is, you let go and lose of a lot of friends and family. All you really have is yourself. Take care of yourself ladies and gentlemen.

  7. Hay Jim, I am 53, my wife of 31 years separated from me on the first of Jan this year, I was totally blindsided had no idea we had any issues. She wants to explore her spiritual side outside of the family unit, she also now thinks she may be gay. We have four older children one still at home 16 and I have had to leave my home to heal, I am spending my days, at the beach, walking in the city, going to botanical gardens and art galleries. The excruciating pain and trauma has left now and I wouldn't wish the pain I felt on anyone. Though she hurt me so deeply I still love her and probably always will. One thing I know for sure the only way forward for me is to love my self and be in the moment as much as I can. The pain may never go away but over time it will be lighter to carry. My life has changed forever and so have I. I look forward to the unknown at what love I can give and what love I receive. Thank you for your time.

  8. Heard a great quote from Kurt Vonnegut. He asked his son what the meaning of life is, his son replied "we are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is."

  9. My hubby passed away recently at the age of 40 and i realized how we are not promised tomorrow, we are not promised the next hour. Not everyone who leave the house today will get back home. My hubby and i never really traveled he would always say next year. When that year came then its again next year because he was so consumed with work. Its always work! Time is so precious, and i wish I had more time with my hubby to just be at his feet and enjoy his presence even if it was at the parking lot of walmart💔

  10. Thank you, Jim . I'm 52 twice divorced a single dad.. I spent my adult life looking for love. Instead, I found heartbreak. what a waste of my years.

  11. Cold harsh true.

  12. "It doesn't matter what you do. Who you are Matters more." - what a Quote!
    328
  13. At over 70, I believe life is about the experience, that's all. Enjoy! Time doesn't matter.

  14. Unless you have kids, grandkids, descendants? They'll probably remember

  15. I set my life goals at age 15 - retirement by age 50! I married as a teen, got to work, finished college and started a business. We raised 5 kids, lived way beneath our means, remained debt free and saved/invested money. In my 30's, we bought a house with a mortgage that was paid off in 10 years. By age 50, we were ready to retire but worked another 5 years just to sharpen the saw. It's been 6 years, and life is wonderful! Most of our peers who lived on credit have zero net worth with no viable plans for retirement. Today, my only stress in life is pickleball.

  16. Most men live lives of quiet desperation. ❤

  17. l thought I had read every mindset book out there, but Mind Decoding by Keezano is on a different level. This isn’t just about motivation—it literally renews your mind, showing how your beliefs, rooted in faith, shape your reality. Took me forever to track it down, but after applying its methods, I started noticing shifts in my mindset, my habits, and even the doors God was opening in my life. If you find it, don’t sleep on it—this knowledge is meant to transform you

  18.  @BrittneyHutchesonBandaid-qn8so  this might shock you, some people don't even care about their own parents or children
    164
  19. But that won’t matter, it’s while you’re here living and learning, impacting others in positive ways that count. If you’re lucky, at least the first generation or two will, depending on how many lives you touched. I still remember people long gone by just one word or kind gesture that happened 40+ yrs ago…even a complete kind stranger.

  20. My grandpa once told me this “give a man everything he wants and it breaks him”
    118
  21. absolutely correct. As my late husband lay dying from terminal cancer, he says every day I need to find purpose, because when you lose purpose you die, and that was exactly what he didn’t want for his life! Reach out to the Lord and let the Lord be your guider, seek refuge in him 🙏 through Jesus Christ!
    112
  22.  @huynh75  damn never thought some people don't care about their grandparents 😕
    74
  23. My father is seventy nine years old, with dementia. He is in a care home in NSW Australia. I visit him and spend as much time as possible with him, so I've noticed how important, people, such as yourself are. I'm not spiritual or religious, however, I truly believe, you are doing god's work! Thankyou, Seamus
    68
  24. Something that's hard for me to get my head around is that it's not always apparent when you're wasting your life. You'd think this would be obvious but actually it's not at all.
    67
  25. I’m 37 and I have realized I’ve been chasing relatives who don’t give a damn about me , it was always me who wanted a connection a sense of a family. I’ve chased people because I wanted to be friends with them now I don’t want shit 💩 whoever is the naturally because it clicks is welcome. I’m done living in illusion that if I make effort people will appreciate it
    64
  26. I’m 24, so no where near as versed in life as most of the people commenting. I’ve run into what I would call my first real rock bottom situation financially and mentally. I’ve come to realise I’ve been wasting my first half of my 20’s trying to live up to other peoples expectations thinking I’ll achieve self worth from it and am slowly shifting my perspective. Also wasted a lot of time drunk trying to run from things. I’m grateful to live in a time where I can access videos like this and learn from older people with similar but much more mature opinions 😊
    58
  27. You are absolutely right my friend, "love yourself" is the most wise advice that every people should learn and feel.
    50
  28. A thought provoking video. I've learned that life is like a theme park, each ride being an experience. I've learned that everything is temporary. Relationships, jobs and friends all temporary. You go from ride to ride to ride, having fun and good experiences on the way. If you read the comments under this video you will see the common thread is that everyone is experiencing the temporary nature of the theme park ride. Never ever believe that what you have today you will still have tomorrow. So enjoy it while it lasts.
    48
  29. The Holy Spirit is the key to filling that “void” if you ask me. Thanks Jim for sharing
    47
  30. Time wasted is never wasted. Been my motto forever. I'm one of the happiest people I know. Except when my wife catches me on the couch.
    44
  31. Thanks for the message Jim! I'm 32 and have jumped around a dozen jobs and went to school for different things. I think I realized that no matter what I do, I always wanna keep learning, I always wanna give back to humanity.
    44
  32. If you enjoy every day, you are not wasting time. Embrace each day with gratitude and humility. Live in a state of joy and take pleasure with everything you do. Each day is a blessing.
    43
  33. What you’re looking for is Jesus Christ. Everything else then makes sense. Everything. He is the way the truth and the life. Call upon him today!
    34
  34. I retired at age 53, so I am in my early 60s. Many of them resisted me because they couldn't understand the idea of not working if it wasn't necessary. I considered the phases of my life. I worked very hard to achieve what I have now, but in my last years, I owe it to myself to "stop and smell the roses." In my instance, I departed the nation after retiring and currently reside in Latin America. It made it possible for me to appreciate my new surroundings while escaping all the bad things that were going on in America. Nobody that I know of regrets retiring has yet to come to me.
    29
  35. Yes, loving yourself and being able to say “no” is highly important.
    27
  36. @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  I appreciate you 🙏. All things will work for good according to God's purpose. Keep on dropping videos
    26
  37. This really hit home for me. I just turned 55 a few days ago, have graduated from high school over 37 years ago, and of those 37 years I spent almost 18 of them being a caregiver to my mom until she passed away last year. I was amazed at how quickly life had flown by and questioned if I should've been a little more selfish instead of selfless. Just as I was starting to try to find my footing, I suddenly had to deal with damage to my home with an insurance claim, and a minor health issue. As the claim is coming to a close and my health has improved, I am still questioning how to move forward with my life and find some purpose. But if I can give one sliver of advice to the younger generations watching this video, like Jim said, DO NOT WASTE ANY PRECIOUS TIME. Time flies by quickly and you can't get it back!

  38. Im 41 now.. And losing interest in having a big car, big house, just want to roam around the world, travel more & more... Nothing makes me happier than travelling, seeing new places, everyone has different happiness buttons, some are just happy with their family, ofcourse, good food, and happy family , no sickness is all what I want.. still figuring out, definition might chnage bubthe time im 50
    25
  39. We just had our 40 year HS reunion; of our graduating class of about 380, so far 42 have passed away, none of them reaching 60 years old and few made it into their 50s Life flies. As I stood there looking at the memorial table with all their pictures, I thank God that I was blessed to know these beautiful souls and thanked Him for sustaining me all these years and beyond 🙏🏼
    23
  40. Hi Jim, I don’t usually leave comments on videos but this one really hit home. I’m addicted to the internet and have wasted away most of my 20’s and early 30’s laying in bed scrolling my phone and partying in clubs. Never had a girlfriend. This video really helped me reflect on what I spend my time doing. I went through an absolute mess of a depressive psychotic episode in 2013 and I’ve made strides in improving my situation- starting to create a career for myself of which I am proud of. However, I need to better establish what I do with my time and I definitely need to talk more positively about myself. Thanks again.
    22
  41. I am 66, have been married to my first wife for 43 years, have two wonderfully stable children, and feel uniquely blessed. I recently retired from a job that I held for 38 years. I have many pleasant memories of work, colleagues, and accomplishments. With that said, I was growing up, but not living. In retirement now, I do have the opportunity to start again. I can do what I want, when I want. I have taken on two jobs, one just to have pocket money, the other to give back. Yet, I am a product of my upbringing, when I do feel time to rest and regroup, it is around family. Throughout my years on this planet, I would say the most important thing one will ever be privileged and humbled to have, next to the Almighty Himself, is a relationship with family. Never lose that would be my counsel.
    21
  42. I'm retired at 40, went from Grass to Grace. This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, honest wife, $175k biweekly and a good son full of love🤍🤍
    21
  43. You’re right! In a blink of your eye 20 more years will pass and now live in present that is gift that will serve your purpose.
    20
  44. Stop looking.. just be ❤
    20
  45. I just turned 56 and agree 100%. The one thing in life you can't get more of, or replace is time.
    20
  46. Most importantly, make sure you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. The wrong eternity makes chasing a dollar seem trivial.

  48. The 2 most important days of our lives are the day you are born and the day you figure out why...
    16
  49. I got lucky by discovering this in my early 40's and it changed my life. We all feed off of each others energy, if you don't believe me try spending a day handing out compliments or helping others even with simple tasks rather than only focusing on yourself and see how much more fulfilled you feel at the end of your day. Even when they don't thank you or reciprocate you'll still feel better about you and you will sleep like a baby. I'm now 54 and the happiest I've been since childhood and all it cost me was a little kindness.
    15
  50. Well buddy….closing in on a half a million now I’m sure you’ve seen. Congratulations. That’s what happens when it comes from the heart. Much love brother Jim.
    14
  51. Good morning, Sir 👋 I’m 16, and your words really made me reflect on my life and how things are. Sometimes, I take life for granted. I look into the mirror and subconsciously believe my hair will never turn gray, and that I have all the time in the world. That makes me procrastinate and feel miserable because I tell myself I have time to feel happier. Thank you for this amazing video, and I hope you have a great day. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
    14
  52. Yes, life must not have been easy living a counterculture lifestyle without huge debt and overspending. But now, you won! Congratulations!
    14
  53. I am happy, $42,000 every month! Now I can give back to the people in my community and also support the works of God and the church.
    14
  54. Clock only goes in one direction. Better to be alone than to wish you were.
    14
  55. I’m 46. Man, you have a way with words! Everything you said is exactly how I would articulate it in eight minutes… if I were as articulate as you. Wishing you all the best. Bless you!
    14
  56. Iam 54 with 35 years at a power company..I truly could wake up and go to my high school locker in the morning as if no years have passed...so YES the years go by so fast that you some times are in disbelief..no internet back then to see these kind of videos but nevertheless iam thankful I watched yours
    13
  57. I'm 46. Purpose is something I think about a lot. Currently not working so I have time, it's using it wisely. I also realized how important the good people in your life are, they are hard to replace.
    13
  58. Yup some of my classmates never made it too 25. One died on a highway equivalent to a interstate trying to help someone and another drowned I think he didn't make it out of highschool. Our life is a Candle. Some candles never even get lit. (Stillborn) Some get blown out in accidents and others burn all the way till there's nothing left. All of us have a limited amount of time. Use it wisely.
    13
  59. Great video. I’m 35 and going through the process of divorce. My wife was unwilling to work on things and was with another man within days of leaving the house before papers were even filed. Spurs questions of self value, purpose, fulfillment, etc. I know her decisions are not a reflection of me, and I’ll continue to work on myself through therapy, the gym, volunteering, and staying close with friends and family, but it does get me feeling like life is passing by too fast. I hope I have not lost my chance to have a family.
    13
  60. Maybe because we are all human going thrue similar experience. The guy doesnt even have 1000 follower. He just does that out of sharing is experience...
    12
  61. Playing video games is the ultimate waste of time
    12
  62. Jim, I once remembered an old man saying that happiness is: I woke up, the sun is shining, nothing hurts (he means: physical pain). To be happy is to be able to be content with simple things.
    12
  63. Just turned 59. During my 20's, 30's and 40's, I was looking to have fun with friend's doing whatever was popular at the time. All the decades were different. Lost more and more friends along the way and now I don 't have any friends left except for my wife. Life is so different now and I feel there is nothing left to do and just waiting for the end to come.
    11
  64. 100%. 27 years of age, at my lowest lows, girl of 8 yrs. left me, laid off no employment, and out of shape. I have stopped showing up for myself awhile ago. It’s time for that again and with consistency. Need to get my life back together. Thank you.
    11
  65. At 52 years old, I have realized the only thing important is in life is your health and your family and if you are extraordinary lucky, one or two friends
    11
  66. I have no regrets! I always choose to do stuff that scared me. So many are locked in a comfortable life and afraid to leap. Go, leap, take that step. Leave your family and friends, don’t be afraid. You don’t want to be this dude who is still lost and regretting he never took the leap. I have accomplished everything I wanted. Now I have freedom which is the ultimate life control.
    11
  67. Totally agree with what you are saying. I have not been eating healthy because I didnt love myself enough. Come 11 of April im going to Japan for 17 days and I will eat all healthy foods there. Love from Denmark 🇩🇰
    11
  68. ​ @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  be cautious about comments that recommend books. There are a lot of these comments on videos now and they are actually scammers.
    10
  69. Well... well deserved Mr. Jim, the message in the video should go viral, hopefully reaching more of these youngsters! Have a great day!😎

  71. When we look for something we rarely, if ever, find it. Think of all the times you searched for a misplaced item, and in the process, found something else you'd looked for previously, couldn't find, and gave up. Whatever appears in life does so at the time it is meant to. But when we don't expect something fabulous and then get it----well, I think those are the most wonderful surprises of all and make life so sweet.

  72. I've learned one thing above all else, starting with my cancer diagnosis at 4 years of age, onward through all my health complications. And that is, just walk away!

  73. When people see me running every morning , usually in snow ❄️ below 0 temperatures this time of year in montana 🥶 I've been told multiple times I inspire them ❤ it makes me proud ..!💯

  74. everybody needs a sharp saw !

  75. As someone in my later 20's and starting a family while trying to accomplish career goals, I appreciate your perspective. I hope you share more of your wisdom in future videos--I subscribed.

  76. Hey Jim, thank you for your message. I’m 23 years old about to turn 24, and you’re right about time being the most precious commodity. I used to be wasteful with my time, doing unproductive things that never really mean much in the end other than satisfying my own personal wants, however I’ve learned over the past few years that things happen for a reason, and time and time again life has taught me that we need patience with the time we have, or else we won’t appreciate it for what it’s worth.

  77. We do not "have time " ... Time " has us " ... / Time do not exist. It is human construct. Time is not passing ... WE ARE PASSING.
    8
  78. Same age, same situation...
    8
  79. Same here, used to looking for love. I longer looking for it and surprisingly all the stress is uplifted. Loving life again ❤
    8
  80. Thanks for sharing this wisdom. Just turned 40 and I’m wondering where the last 20 went. I will use your words here in my ethos moving forward. God bless
    8
  81. The systems in America are meant to divide us and take our time away from us. Love takes energy and most people don't have energy left after a long day of barely get by. I left the country and found love again because I have time and energy again.
    8
  82. Well done Jim.. when you are authentic and speak from your heart and give without expecting anything back so that’s why! 😊🥰
    8
  83. In my life, this is the first time someone has been motivated to get uncomfortable, and I am surprised to say I understand. nothing grows in your comfort zone.
    8
  84. Yup, memento mori. There's one non renewable resource we all share...time.
    8
  85. The world would be a better place if there were more honest and helpful people like you ❤
    8
  86. You’re a good man! Takes one to know one! Please do not stop helping people as that is your inner Angel! I am 61 yo myself, gave 20 years as a volunteer cop & sergeant out of New York City in lower Manhattan. My precinct was attacked on 9/11/01 and went from my working day job right to Ground Zero for 3 days and nights. Manage your time wisely and be very selective with whom you help, but remain that Angel on Earth.
    8
  87. Time is worth way more than money. But they are both illusions.
    7
  88. I love the idea of creating community in the YouTube comments :) Cheers Jim!
    7
  89. I love the noise surrounding you. It is so calming, soothing. I wish I had such noise around my house.
    7
  90. when I listen to you, it feels as if I am listening to a loving father figure. Please keep on uploading videos Jim.
    7
  91. Amen. 41 now and I got way calmer and accepted way more things without to resignate, but do more things that were not leading to a better career for example, but were better for my mind and as a side effect, my free time and thoughts in my head have more to do with self developing things that give me inner peace and joy and likeminded people.
    7
  92. Thanks i’m 24 and i agree with everything you said in this video really brings confirmation to a lot of my thoughts 💯🙏 Thanks for the advice
    7
  93. I'm with you 100%. No time to waste at all. From another senior dude.
    7
  94. Finding this video in a random feed of carpentry subscriptions only confirms to me the big man has plans for me. Jim, i thank you for your time. The message has come home loud and clear. Thank you.
    7
  95. People are responding to real experience and authenticity!! 🔥
    7
  96. Today I decided for myself that the purpose of life is creating. Whether it's gardening, painting, a chalet, or something you need creativity for to look back and feel a sense of pride and accomplishment.
    7
  97. You know, given how precious our limited time is, one thing I started doing 6 months ago is logging all the activities I did everyday in a small notebook, even some of the more mundane stuff. Its incredible how much we forget what we did even a day ago.. doing this makes time feel slower, you have all kinds of memories you can recall now and it makes you appreciate just how much happens in your life..that feeling of time suddenly disappearing doesnt feel as prominent. Its not a perfect solution but it certainly helps. At the end of the month I go back and read everything I did in that month and read some random pages from a few months back to trigger memories I would have totally forgotten about. Its also a great utility to have for recalling certain events when needed. I highly recommend people give it a try.
    6
  98. I've just re-watched your viral video... Well done, over 1 million views in two weeks... That'll be hard to replicate 🙂
    6
  99. wise words of wisdom to the younger generation. We share a lot of similar lessons in life. I just survived cancer in my early 50s, and nothing makes you evaluate how you spend / spent your time more than coming face to face to the fact that you are not guaranteed tomorrow.
    6
  100. Life is never really appreciated until it is close to being taken away. Keep death close to you and see the beauty in the most ordinary of things or events.
    6
  101. I’m sure if people are chasing something, they mean it because they’re doing it for a reason Sometimes you may get there and realize it’s not for you, but sometimes it takes getting there to actually realize it once you get into it Yes, you can have plans and motivations, but sometimes when you actually reach that thing you were chasing, sometimes it fits, sometimes not, and that’s OK The one thing we really need more than anything is Jesus in our lives
    6
  102. About 2 years ago I decided to knock off some pounds and my wife and I did something simiilar. with a more Keto diet type of approach. I ended up losing about 60 pounds. Congrats on your success.
    6
  103. I’m 60 in 2 months; I look 15 years younger and feel better than I did in my 30s and 40s. I was always into fitness and at 44 decided to become a personal trainer, did that for 4 years but I still continue training and running at least 4-5 days a week. I use to tell my clients, get an accountability partner, someone you can train with.

  104.  @papillonpromise  that's really well said
    6
  105. Unconditional love is the way... to yourself and to others. This is a great video. thank you for recording it.
    6
  106. So sad. Too many people gone too soon. I lost a fiance to breast cancer who was only 33 years old at the time and recently came across my own battle with cancer. Thanks for sharing. Stop the procratinating and live life to the fullest.
    6
  107. Love, Grow & Serve are a pretty great summary.  That reminds me of the simple instructions found in the book of Micah (from the Hebrew Bible) The instructions go something like this:   "But he’s already made it plain how to live, and what God is looking for in people. It’s quite simple:  Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don’t take yourself too seriously—take God seriously."

  108. I'm glad you made this video it reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, $34k monthly and a good daughter full of love..

  109. Thanks for sharing your story with the rest of us.

  110. Purpose: 1. Well educated with ivy degrees. 2. Generational wealth. 3. Embrace beauty of the universe and nature. 4. Avoid evil and negative people. 5. Build successful family and animals as companions. 6. Embrace god to why we are here. 7. Take care of yourself of great health 8. Give back to the world
    6
  111. Well spoken, 5am is my time to reflect and check out a few like-minded videos. I am happy to come across this one. Time is valuable, absolute truth. Take care of yourself man. Thanks for this.
    6
  112. Subbed. I’m 30 next month and already feel this way about life / time. I know my purpose is to be the best dad I can possibly be to my daughter. That’s not just about providing material things. It’s providing her with valuable perspectives and unconditional love.
    6
  113. my wife left after 11yrs of marriage unexpectedly and she left me with all the bills etc and I lost everything! Still blaming me like nothing was her fault now wanting me to see if i want her back
    6
  114. Never give in never give up it's never too late to improve your physical & mental strength!

  115. Came at the right time I start a new job this week. Great message.
    6
  116. I can't put into words my feelings yet, but I needed this. Thank you. One of these days I'll put my thought here.
    6
  117. Thank you for having the courage to express yourself on camera. I agree 100% with everything you said. The older I become the calmer I become. I slowly care less about the external push and pull of life. And I care more about repeating the things that give my life a sense of meaning and joy.

  118. Robert Maxwell, motivation author, famously quoted “Life is an eternal toll, never ending. It’s important to celebrate the milestones as you achieve them. Otherwise, when you reach your goal, you will never be fulfilled or happy!” I view your 8 different careers as a resilient warrior doing what it took to survive. Your health is great, your attitude is spot on, your giving spirit is admirable, and your life lessons invaluable! Good to share about you and not just platitudes and guidance for others. You LIVED it and are sharing! Major kudos!

  120. I watched your previous video and returning to this one makes me happy for you. At any age, anything is possible. Congrats Jim !

  121. Ah Resiliency! My middle name (figuratively)! Facing adversity builds character! Going through the ups and downs while learning from your experiences that will make you stronger!

  122. Congrats you've reached switzerland 😂

  123. I live in Uzbekistan. I experienced so many things that you had. I think people can be from different cultures, but the core nature is not that different. I am happy I have encountered this video. Accidentally. And this is so cool. Thank you very much.
    5
  124. Have self respect. I'm searching for self respect, not purpose. That will be the most important lesson I will have learned this month.
    5
  125. Thanks sir for this good video. But can I criticise you here. Your approach is wrong. Changing things to make other things change will bring a combination of changes that may be the one big change. It is not a mathmatical formula or a strategy otherwise I could have made the big change and got this done with. After I have done and failed everything possible to change my financial circumstances I now realised that calibration with others will give the power to myself and others to make the change. Its not about me or you, it's about WE put our hands together... it is about we not about the I.

  126. Totally agree helping others is a great way to make you help yourself/love yourself more …I always find when I help someone out (and I’m not looking for anything in return )then it makes me feel good and life seems clear …appreciate your video and I will definetely try and appreciate my time more after watching this 🙏👍

  127. Sorry to hear this. 52 is still young. You got this man.

  129. Haters are a sad bunch! They love to bitch at others when in fact it is themselves that they hate! They hate people who have done well or are content with their lot. They have no inner peace and that makes them angry at the world. They usually die full of regrets and coulda, woulda shouda is their epitaph. Peace out😊
    5
  130. Congrats on your success so far. I went back to college (graduate school) at 36 and am now 40. I considered starting a YouTube channel to encourage other mid-life learners. Maybe I should...

  131. Male, 58. I loved myself up until puberty, then my face changed and I believed I was unattractive. Well, it didn't help when others, even my own mother, made negative comments about my appearance. Even though my body was rock hard and muscular, I still didn't feel attractive, always shy, and introverted. I did end up having plastic surgery which improved my confidence significantly. Sadly, many don't love themselves due to being ridiculed, this leaves scars often leading to self hatred and the inability to love oneself.

  132. I will tell you what is another lie.. that retaining muscle mass is depending on the quality of food you eat. this might shock you, but it is the truth. I have been training for 15 years now and i took a loooong time to figure this out. In reality, retaining muscle mass is almost entirely depending on strengh training and overall caloric intake (considering your total protein is sufficient, which almost always is the case with western diat). "Eating clean" and high protein is waaaay less important. You lost your love handles due to strength training and caloric deficit, not due to "eating clean". Oh, and dot get me wrong, the quality and kind of food is sure relevant to your health. Just dont mix those two things up, health and body composition are two different things.
    5
  133. It's healthy.

  134. I wish I had access to resources/wisdom like this when I was younger. I tried chasing things and still feel the sting of a long past crush that I chased, but realize I was not ready for because I was looking for love outside myself.
    5
  135. You know what? it is not that uncommon, don't be fooled by instagram rich kids moving to maldives, that's not reality. Also, as men, we grow up slowly but surely, you just realizing that you want to change things is enough to feel proud of it man, many people wake up in their 60s!! believe me you are super young, little by little and without punishment, get better and inspire others with your example

  136. Couldn't agree more with everything you said here 🙏🏻 Such a great message

  137. When i opened this video. I was arranging some flowers to take for my Dad's grave. . Right on brother

  138. Hey Jim, Thanks for the inspiration. I am 66 and am doing the same thing. I just ate a T-bone steak for lunch. I go to the grocery store and see our peers with stomachs and cannot move. Lifting weights has been a great friend. I just discovered you today. I got a lot from another video of yours on already having everything we need and the preciousness of time. I will subscribe today. Good stuff.

  141. This video is gold. It shows that with age comes wisdom. I'm in my 40s and I feel better than ever, physically and spirituality because I now understand what life is about and I do things more intentionally.

  142. I have you beat.. I had at least 10-12 different jobs, and two were 10 years stints each, so 10 other jobs in 17 years. Retired last year at 59 and I’m loving it
    5
  143. Had similar situation. Fixed diet, stopped drinking alcohol and added testosterone to body. I am built like a 40 year old now and can out lift and outrun most 30 year olds at 57. I Diet and nutrition is everything. Helps your mental outlook too.

  149. Yes, thats very true, treat your body well and eat good healty food - that is the key, stay away from that junk food which is glorified on every billboard.

  150. Jim! I just had to pop in and say a big congratulations on your growth! I’m so glad other people are responding to you and your channel! I love the insight you share and your authenticity and I’m so glad to see your channel doing so well. 👏🙌

  151. More views more haters is normal. Trump had %48 haters but he won

  152. 8.45 am uk time Jim and made my double shot of coffee and came across your video . Wow i resonate with it 100% , i am nearly 64 physical fitness coach and workout everyday but my body is slowing up , my 5k time went down by 3 minutes within the space of 12 months . I am 20 years sobriety and still yearn for maybe 1 drink for old times sake , but i never do because i know that i wont be putting my running shoes on anymore. I counted how many friends i have lost in the last few years .....all of sudden my 5k time is irrelevant and i will continue to remain sober . Thank you for your wonderful videos Jim x
    5
  153. This is a kind of message we all need to hear, over and over again. Because we forget what is important, the world has a way of blinding us. "Watch how you spend your time" so true. God bless
    5
  154. I think I wasted 38 years of life, I grew up with a narcissist parents. I used to be a people pleaser Now im 38 and a professional. Thanks for this video. It changed my perspective.

  155. Stop being too nice, just say no if you don't want to. Good post!
    4
  156. I have 40 more lbs or so to lose. This is good motivation. I got in great shape three years ago, but then I started eating carelessly again and gained the weight back. I’m down about 15 pounds so far and I am absolutely determined to get back into shape again. I won’t settle for less.
    4
  157. I have learned a lot of advice from you and also I'm learning some English words too, so I'm very very thankful for sharing your knowledge with us!
    4
  158. No matter what your dreams and aspirations are, people, events and demons whether real or personal will let you down. I spend my time on living, experiencing and watching life, there are always lessons to be learnt. For those younger than 40, once you pass 50, you're supposed to take your foot off the gas, become an observor a spectator on life, leave the youngsters to be participants. I think that's why politicians and the rich try to leave legacies through statues, buildings or other memorials so they aren't forgotten.
    4
  159. Great videos! Thank you for sharing.
    4
  160. I’ve had a very similar career path as you. I’ve been a researcher, analytical chemist, environmental engineer/ scientist, health care professional and now a high school teacher. I’m curious, what are you teaching now? You have so much life experiences to share with your students. Take the time to share your insights with your students, friends and family. Yes, life flies by. We really need to make the best of it.
    4
  161. A truism: When you stop growing, you die! Brain and body! Giving is a major key to the soul nourishment. I recommend the book “The Go-Giver” by Bob Burg and John David Mann. You will realize how giving will come back to you TEN FOLD. We are here on Earth by our choice through our never ending spirit. We chose to have our energy force FEEL and experience the human condition. Our life force (soul) NEVER dies, as long as our soul is GOOD. You are given FREE will and being judged by your soul’s character during this free will as a human. When you pass on the water meat suit, you will get the opportunity to go wherever you want in the galaxy with another form of life or come back again as a human. Be a GOOD soul and rewards ABOUND!
    4
  162. Jim, this is superb advice. I lived my life, until 53, as a victim of things that happened 40 years earlier. For two years I've been trying to turn this thinking around. I need to hear these words of yours.
    4
  163. cool mate, the algorithm is crazy how one Video would get half million View and others just a few thousands. Greets from Germany
    4
  164. absolutely people forget to put themselves first, people-pleasing personality develops and then it's a roller coaster of all wrongs. I have told my story too. if you got time do check that please and let me know am I right or I have to change more. thank you
    4
  165. If you’re not growing, you’re dying. SO true! Growth is huge for me. I put a lot of effort into learning from other people and their experiences. It’s amazing what we can learn when we just listen to other people. (It’s sad though, when we start outgrowing the friends and family around us. Would love your thoughts on how to handle this if you need a video idea. 😅) Gratitude is also super important for me to practice. I’m a recovering alcoholic (celebrating 10 years this year!). When you almost lose everything but choose to put in the hard work to get better and come out the other end healthy, loved and supported - nothing has made me feel more gratitude than that. Today, I have an amazing family and a life I could have never dreamed of and I believe that genuinely practicing gratitude has played a big part in that. Loved this video so much Jim! 🫶

  167. Yes, the days and weeks go faster and faster, the older one gets. It’s hard to keep up but I do the best I can.
    4
  168. You are indeed speaking true fatherly wisdom to generations starving for it. I have had problems procrasrinating as a part of aspergers. I feel like i already know you man, and im sure we could talk for hours. I am rearing up myself to cut loose on my channel as well, it started with songs but there is so much important subject matter to share and you adress so much, so well. You are genuine man. I would love to chat with you. Message me any time bro. Maybe our visions can overlap.
    4
  169. That must feel great. As a 59 year old new Youtuber, I hope that happens to me at some point. But, to echo a previous comment.... be and Stay authentic. Nice job and best of luck.

  170. Will get that book. I’m 56, but I’m sure it can still guide me also 👌🏻

  171. You deserve all the blessings coming your way 🫡

  172. Thank you for your videos. Much appreciated! I'm in my early 60s, and I need to hear them. Going through some of the things you m entioned. Plus trying to do them. Have a fantastic day.
    4
  173. i just turned 39 and now i have learned a lot and now have started youtube. and I will keep continuing. i am sitting in the office and its over two hours ago but I have to give time to youtube as well so have to do it. it was hard to convince myself and changing mindset.
    4
  174. wow that's a cool trick making those quick transitions like you have on this video
    4
  175. Liked and subscribed great video. A simple way anyone can help the world as if you go to a big store like Walmart just pick up a piece or two of trash in the parking lot and throw it away especially plastic. I'm 43 I have severe OCD my life is pretty much a disaster right now but I definitely agree with you there is tremendous brevity to life.. time is a precious commodity for us all that I took for granted a lot more when I was younger but I still need to watch myself and be more appreciative of the time that I have. Have a great day everyone and I totally agree you must try to love yourself even if it's difficult for some of us to do that.
    4
  176. YES to all of it!!! Facing and owning up to the choices we’ve made. Understanding and getting clarity on what was good or bad. Doing the work and changing the mindset to do something about what you don’t like. The consistent steps forward to change your path. I am responsible for me and what I allow to me. Good video Jim!
    4
  177. Love the natural pace of this video. You helped me and potentially 1.2 million other people. Thank you
    4
  178. If in good health, thats pretty young. You can spend next decades looking for joy and/or God with a relationship coming of not coming. At least that would be a good option imo.
    4
  179. New sub here. As we enter the age of AI, thanks for keeping it real. Watched several of your videos now...looking forward to more.

  180. I think it was Michael J Fox that said “with gratitude optimism is sustainable”. Makes sense
    4
  181. Thank you for this talk Jim, I really needed to hear this. Procrastination, self doubt, and the opinion of other, these are some of the things that can waste your time away.❤
    4
  182. early 50s and still feel lost and wonder what the hell im doing, i know this isnt it but i keep going because its all i know and its keeping me above water. but like a hamster in a wheel i dont really feel like my efforts get me anywhere

  183. You hadn’t lost muscle mass. You just didn’t have any to begin with and once the fat was stripped off, the lack of muscle became obvious. Then you built your muscle up.
    4
  184. Mr. Burrows hello! I found you through the viral video you speak of! I loved every second of it, you’re such a brilliant character and I’m grateful that you do what you do, and that I’m able to come along for the ride. The nerves will calm but see it this way, we’re not tuning in looking for you to perform, we’re there for you to drop in on us like if you were having a conversation round the table with your friends, of course we excitedly await the vids but don’t stack any unnecessary weight upon your shoulders, we’re happy going on your time! Also I think it’s excellent that you dedicate so much effort to staying in shape at your age, as evidently, a lot of the population don’t, but through you I can see to such an extent, the benefits of it!!
    4
  185. I am 47 years....i tell you why you are here...to love and be humble...love yourself ,forgive yourself ....you are here to understand who god really is...thats why you are here

  186. I don't recall my circumstances ever lining up in an ideal way. We set goals and take action, and guess what? We make mistakes, and I have made plenty, and so one learns, gathers energy and moves ahead anyway. I remember that very day I reached my ultimate goal of retirement and felt a rush of relief and gratitude. All the sacrifice was worth the reward. Life is to be lived, and potential is there to be harvested. Keep Punching - All is Possible!

  187. Will be 60 this coming April. Really feeling the clock ticking more than ever.. Missing family long gone,, kids grown and moved away.. I have an overwhelming sense of urgency... I think having a little dog and getting out and about, walking.. might help. Thank you for your videos and messages.. Subbed. Thank you. This is real.

  190. Yeah I completely agree. I'm currently trying to be more present, especially with my wife and girls. I find social media and phones in general very addictive so I'm trying to be in it less and being in the moment, enjoying, appreciating the world we live in, it's a lovely feeling

  191. I'm 52 from Germany still learning. Thankyou for your Videos 😊

  192. I am so so happy for you Jim! Such a great video to go viral too with a great message. The haters always come with viral videos. I hope you take in all the love and support and ignore the bad comments. You’re amazing! So glad other people found you over here 🫶

  193. Are you on TRT?

  194. Hey there! Unfortunately today, I had bad “ideations” for you know what. I went outside, saw my girlfriend at the bookstore, swam in the cold lake. I had a good day. Being alive is nice. At the end of the day, we have our breath, our heartbeat, and our love.

  195. Congrats man, your message helps me out a ton right now, I'm 27 and going back to school and your video was what I needed to hear

  200. Thank you, sir. Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. I took a walk for about 1 hour. Refreshing my heart, I go on a pilgrimage on the earth. Peace be to thee.

  202. That's the beauty of YouTube man. The algorithm works in the most mysterious ways. It's brought creators like you to my homepage, and it's cool that I get relate in some way with strangers online. Much love from this Gen Z youtuber 🤟

  203. Can't agree more.We need to be more kind and graceful to ourselves.
    4
  204. i always put myself into difficult situations to grow such as trying new things! in the process of making it comfortable for me, i find it hard, challenging, and sometimes i want to run away from it and seek for something easier and feeling at home. but after getting over the challenge, i can see my growth clearly. that feeling is amazing so i can’t stop putting myself into difficult situations. now my new challenge is to become a carpenter and it’s been one month!!
    4
  205. I love this message and I realized the value of love when my life came crashing down years ago. It feels truly amazing to wake up every day with love and to smile and give from the heart when I see people. You wouldn't believe how many people's mood change when you smile and genuinely focus on them to give love. It is better than any drug or thing people are chasing in life.

  211. Hey man, congrats on 30 days in row that’s ace. I’ve really enjoyed the videos of yours that I’ve seen and look forward to seeing more. One tiny bit of very friendly advice (not as a YouTube expert, just a videographer), reduce the jump cuts in the edit. I think this video jumps around too quickly between each word/line. Not sure if you’ve used ai to do this one, I’ve not noticed it on prior videos. But we don’t mind little pauses between each line. Anyway keep it going. You’re smashing it 👍
    4
  212. Wow, really great man it's really inspirational thank you so much
    4
  213. I really love this type of content. Calm, collected and conscious. And I agree time is the only universal currency that matters. Thanks Jim! My hypothesis is that if we all mastered our emotions, the world would be a better place. Took me many years to understand that emotions create behavior, and ultimately what you spend your precious energy on. So energy and time is all that we got in life.
    4
  214. Lifting weights and fasting produce stem cells, make you look younger, fix problems in your body naturally. It does so much more than people give it credit for.
    4
  215. I remember the happiness when I got 20k views per day. 40M views later, it is quite usual feeling. Youtube has the best/supportive community for sure. I have never recieved so much love from strangers than here. Congrats!

  216. I was looking for mySelf :) Thank you very much for sharing this!!!!

  217. "Life is short but if you live it well, it is long enough". The key is to "get wise" in your 20's so it doesn't take 40 years to learn crap. If you would repeat your life over and over again, just exactly as it was before, being content with your life, then you learned enough when you were young to have almost no regrets. That is pretty darn good!

  225. Most of us finally wake up to what's important in life in our 50s....I myself went through a complete re-birth 2 years ago at 55. So all this resonates. Keep them coming.

  226. Great video. The saddest day of my life was the day it hit me that I’d achieved and attained everything I thought I’d ever wanted or that I thought was possible for someone like me. So weird. The darkness I felt in that realization was as dark and black as black can possibly be. I realized everything including my perception of the world and reality was, at best, mostly inaccurate if not a total lie, total delusion. That was nine years ago and I’m sixty two now. Quite a wake-up call and thank god I paid attention. Looking back it was also the most important day of my life.

  227. Awesome! That sucks about the speech you should ask around and see if anyone ells recorded it

  233. 57 here. I grew up in a crazy family. Seen a lot of misery. Have had success in career and made a lot of money. I've realized a couple of key things- The most important thing has to be a relationship with Jesus Christ. HE heals all the hurt, fills the void. Money and things will never. Love and Care for others. More rewarding then trying to please self. Make a choice every day to be happy, content, grateful. You got this!

  242. I’m 39 and agree with everything you said sir. Loving yourself is key. I know another 20-30 years from now I will remember I watched your video today when I’m wondering where the time went❤

  243. Hi Jim , sorry about you losses! 😢 My father died at 46 in 1963 I was there with him with my bother 3 years older than me. I was 10 years old . We were at an ice skating rink first night it was open! In Ft Lauderdale, FL. Quite a shock. My oldest Brother died at 61 and my middle brother died at 64 ! I’m 72 Now and think I must have a purpose because I still kicking! But what is it ? Hopefully they will let me know, so I can fulfill it! Take take Steve

  248. I have been watching your videos from the Texas coast. Small town of Palacios. They are giving me food for thought. I've watched a couple of others , but not much on talking about me. I like the way you are putting it, much-needed.

  252. Hey Jim, you sound like a really great guy and thanks for sharing. I would like to share something with you. Approaching 68 years old and can certainly relate to the passage of time. Do you think there's an afterlife and what does that look like to you?

  253. We’re not just beings we’re becomings the question is what am I becoming? We’re all servants of servants. We’re here to help each other get our needs met. Virtue is its own reward you have to be good to feel good.

  255. Experiecnce is the most valuable thing someone can give. I feel like my purpose is in encouraging others. I feel more called to that because of this video. Thank you.

  256. I subsribe about 30 min ago. And its just extremley useful to hear these things. Not obly whats in the videos. But it helps open our own minds to other aspects of life not talked about

  257. Your stories are uniquely YOU! I have put up my very FIRST video on my new YT channel to help generational respect to those with amazing life experiences. I will provide you the channel name, if you like, as I would not presume to announce. Also, I have credited you on my first video, with some others, who inspired me to share. At 60, you renew your exact Chinese zodiac through all the elements. I am a reborn wood dragon. This only happens ONCE in your life unless you are blessed to live to 120. With this rebirth is a mission. You’ve started yours 4 years in advance. Keep on keeping on!

  258. I’ve had my channel since 2011 but quit posting videos for over 10 years. What a BIG mistake. So I decided this year I would post 30 videos straight. I just completed 32 in a row!

  260. Another video full of FACTS! 💯We got to keep pouring into the lives of the younger generation and let them know what it really takes to succeed. Congrats on your growth.

  261. Appreciate the video. I think what resonated with me the most is the part where you mentioned that when we love ourselves we share that love. Rather than loving others for some sense of return. I'm a therapist, I participate in my own therapy. One thing I've been wrestling with at 37 is maintaining a sense of identity. I'm always authentic. But the authenticity lacks substance if that makes sense. I told my therapist when he asked, I have had moments when I liked myself. But I've never loved myself. I've managed to achieve some success in academics at this later stage of my life and I've managed to have some good jobs. But I think it may have been for an ego push. To show myself and others I could do it. But now what? I'm a therapist and I'm actually expected to help people, and a lot of days I feel inadequate. My love for being social has turned to anxiety. I dread having to interact with folks and as a social worker, that's a problem lmao. I've been thinking, do I like therapy or do I like the idea of therapy? Meaning, do I like to actually deal with drama or do I like the idea of storytelling, creating the drama, sharing how folks can heal from their struggles, and raising awareness on certain issues? I've always wanted to be a creative. Work in film and writing. I'm just at a point where, I want to say my educational journey was for a reason. But maybe I'm neglecting a huge part of it and maybe that's why I feel out of sorts?

  265. Great video, thanks for that. Thanks for the recommendation of the Outlive book and your experience of losing weight and putting muscle mass on. I first heard about this book on the 2% podcast that Michael Easter - who wrote 'The Comfort Crisis - mentioned - great book for motivation and getting people outside of their usual routines. I am in the UK and started Rucking with weight 5 years ago - I am now 55 and I lost all the weight I had put on during the previous 10 years. Now, I don't seem to be be able to put weight on even during the Christmas holidays, and I eat healthily and I am always mentally counting calories until it became second nature. However, I now need to start some sort of weight fitness regime - as you mentioned - as I noticed I am becoming skinny fat, with my arms quite skinny as well as my legs - even after all the Rucking I have done.

  266. Thank you for the video. I am 48 years old and have been down more paths than I would like to admit. I am now starting on another journey and I was considering documenting the process. I am scared I will just look foolish but I guess thats in my head. Everything you said hits home. Thanks! Keep on doing it! Cheers!

  267. Hello Mr. Jim, I've seen this video randomly today and I think I needed it today. I'm unemployed for a full year, I don't have any work and I HATE myself because I have a 1.9 (almost 2) year old kid and a wife and I can't even afford to pay bills now. I can't take care of my child like I want to, I don't know what to do. People say that I'm 30 years old now and I don't have an income setup, I don't have savings, I don't have my own home, car...etc, even my own brother says this. Which is enough to demotivate me. I've been thinking of taking my own life because I hate my life. Like you said in the video "You must love yourself". I want to do that. I used to love myself I used to play video games and go for a bike ride, I used to do things I love and like. Now my priority is my wife and my kid and for that I've sold my bike, I've sold my ps5 & steam deck, I've spent my savings because of 1 whole year of unemployment. I don't know what to do.. Any advice, any words, anything you have for me please let me know. I'm dead broke, hard to even buy my baby's diapers and milk, no one to help me, I've taken many loans... I want to live for my kid because I love him so much and my wife.

  269. 10 yrs ago I left NYC rat race life at age 42 and went in Vietnam to teach English. Im now married with a lovely, caring lady. I play soccer twice a week, i teach kids and i travel 4 month/year. Happy. Happy. So many Americans like Jim are depressed.

  271. Actually, what you said at the end (If you're not growing, you're dying) isn't true. To grow IS to die, die to self. If the grain dies, it bears much fruit. Unity of opposites. Growth happens when we die to our selfishness.

  276. This is authentic. Im 44 and want to be alive as long as I can. Mainly for my children. Good message. Positivity is contagious.
    3
  277. My 2 cents. 1. Time - Telling people time is the most important thing - only makes people anxious to be productive. 2. Making a lasting impression on folks. Why even care about what others think. Again - this does nothing but create anziety. 3. i think we are divided becuase the people in control have purchase the two party system. And have created reasons for both sides to hate each other and stay divided. I know I don't think the other side is like me... 4. I think the word is energy - not time? My recommendation - live life like your on your own island. Be social - but most importanly, be yourself.

  279. This is how we imagine a normal American in Germany: heavily in debt with several credit cards, married for the third time in an unhappy marriage, more debts that can never be paid off and working until death. Not really desirable, your free country.

  281. Great one Jim! I really appreciated your video. The way you talked about critics and why we should ignore them really hit the nail on the head. I’m leaving my job soon because the constant criticism has become unbearable. They’re always giving feedback, but the issue is, they don’t even know where to start. I’ve been juggling five different roles at once, and somehow, I’m still “not the right fit.” It’s frustrating, and honestly, I’m tired of the passive-aggressive comments. Like, this one colleague who, just before I’m about to leave, will sarcastically say, “Nice one, man! One more project to go!” with a fake laugh. I’ve had enough of that. The first time, I didn’t say anything, but later in a meeting, he said it again, and I finally asked, “What’s so funny? Want me to laugh along?” Suddenly, there was complete silence. The thing is, critics like this aren’t helpful. They rarely look at themselves and just throw out their opinions without any real understanding of the situation. I’ve always been confident—never insecure—but for a long time, I’d hold back, afraid of upsetting people. What did I get in return? Nothing. I was seen as weak, someone with no backbone. But over the last few weeks, I’ve started speaking up, every single time. I respect others’ opinions, but if I’m not 100% okay with something, I’ll voice it. Like this coworker who always waits until I’m about to leave at 5 to ask me questions, but then completely ignores me the rest of the day. So, I told him, “I’ll take a look tomorrow. I’m heading home now and food’s ready.” Firm, but respectful. I’ve got five days left, and I’m not looking back. Critics like this just don’t matter. I’ve learned that standing up for myself and ignoring these pointless criticisms is the only way forward. Thanks again for the video, Jim. It really helped me put things into perspective.

  286. was watching (listening) to yt while doing other stuff, one of your vids showed in the suggested bar to the right so i watched it. then watched about 5 others and subbed. my fav part was where you mentioned how you felt/how it affected you when you was a coach to a young bloke who wanted to do cross country, got his shit together in life then suddenly passed at 25. as a 50+ genX'er it resonated with me about how there seems to be a lack of empathy and grattitude in the world these days.

  289. Yes. I am a similar age and I am prioritising my life the good people I have in my life, what I need and what I want to achieve. Jim is right. The world's population is divisive I and they seek division to find meaning and are wasting their time. Stay away from the haters in the world, they come in many forms. From religious righteousness to narcissistic people and others.

  293.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  Im from Europe, my hobby is my job, Sometimes I try to be helpful, the greatest happiness is helping others without profit, even if they do not appreciate it. You do it for others and myrself and you will feel that your existence has meaning. It is almost a mystical experience. Good luck my brother.:)
    3
  294. Yeah, thinking people hopefully learn this stuff by your age. But then it gets better, potentially: Summon the courage to be your true self. And tell the child within that it’s ok, really, but shut up. Because the adult is in control now, and isn’t afraid anymore. That’s a game-changer.

  295. Worth watch video 🙏🏼, Please make a video on the do's and don'ts based on your 57 years of life experience. It will be very helpful for us.

  296. I'm 40 and my main obstacle is finances and work life. I created an urban art company, which has provided me with (and continues to provide) an income that no other job has provided me with to date. However, I'm faced with the physical and mental exhaustion that this activity causes me, not to mention the uncertainty of being an artist. There are SO many obstacles to completing the work and receiving payment, and this really discourages me from continuing. Then there's the fact that life, even the simplest one, is very expensive, especially for those who have children like me. I feel completely trapped and have difficulty finding peace and connecting with the activities I love. I fight hard to be free, but sometimes I feel like following a normal life, getting one or two jobs and living like a zombie. I feel like I have no options.

  301. Thats not right, he lost both fat and muscle mass. If you are in a calorie deficit unless you continue to resistance train and switch macros to make sure protein is sufficient then you will lose both fat and muscle. As he was just a runner, this is not anerobic training so would inevitably lose muscle.

  316. Great to have a sense of purpose and self love but when you’re surviving day to day just to eat and you live in an absolute shit hole, I do think you’d arrive at a different perspective. Count your blessings for being born in a family and country that has given you a privileged life right off the bat. There is no 1 size fits all when it comes to the meaning of life or life advice. But there are some guidelines - do the right thing as much as you can, live honestly and don’t hurt good ppl. Find your faith and belief in life, make peace with your place in existence and reality.

  329. Hello, what a struggle, trying to find purpose in life without inquiring to the creator. King Solomon had it all and concluded his life by saying: Ecclesiastes 12: "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear God and keep His commandments: For this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgement, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil." God to the deepest part of your soul and spirit. Hebrews 4: "For the Word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder the soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight, but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do" Find a Bible friend, open it and read.

  330. Hey Jim, I really liked the video and the way it was presented. It felt as if you were speaking from the bottom of your heart .This video will make also make young people take a step back and think how they probably should live their lives. But I have a small query, would creating a memory provide me/others with happiness that would last forever.

  331. Lovely video, Jim. As a 56-yo, I second your remarks. 👍🦘

  332. Good video! Yes, I have felt that way a few times in my life. I really like your ideas of your belief folder, take action instead of fear, and become service focused instead of center focused. Those were my favorite thoughts to ponder on for me. Thank you!

  338. Nice going Jim. What is truly most important?; Mere survival? Strength and Health? Wealth? Sexual conquests? Relationships? Power and Influence? Without what are all such things meaningless? Air? Certainly, but Perception, Awareness is key. Without that 'nothing', actually is permanent. Beliefs vanish in the absence of awareness. Does it matter if one knows the heart of their awareness? Does it truly make any difference? Many swear it does, and is the foundation of real life. But most like dominoes move in a loop of programmed habits, fears, desires, and struggles. Freedom from such things is equal to what? In an absolute sense, there can be only one. Or perhaps that resides in or as the indiscernible essence perceiving this.

  339. I use a wheelchair to get around,and I always have ppl put me down, say ignorant things. Most of the time, I can ignore it but sometimes it just gets to me. Negative ppl will always have something to say because they themselves have no life...pay no mind and keep doing you

  343. Jim with that silky voice if you ever give up the teaching you could defs make it as a radio host! Ha! Brilliant message in this vid btw, I remember Will Smith saying something similar. That the only difference between him and any other guy is his relentless work ethic, that if he competes on a treadmill either the other guys getting off first or he (Will) is gonna die trying. Love your vids friend 🙏🏻

  344. This video really resonated with me. About two+ years past a hernia surgery, physical therapy, and ongoing challenges with brain fog & memory challenges after tapering two medications that I wish I never took to assist the process. Losing that time in my 20's with a few more years to go before 30 has put perspective into my life with how valuable time is. I reevaluate how it is being spent and try to prioritize my internal goals/well being before others now. Still trying to go to grad school which has been sidetracked from my head not being as spry as it used to be, I find that the most enjoyment that I feel these days is from helping others and spending time with the people that truly matter in my life. Thanks for your advice and for sharing this video.
    3
  345. YES! Ive been telling myself lately that im TIRED of losing,i already know what its like to quit,i have to see what happens if i TRY MY BEST AND KEEP GOING no matter how tough it is! A small win is still a win!Thanks for the wise words Jim!👍
    3
  346. I really appreciate you for making this video. It's raw, vulnerable and makes you think about our shared human experience and the ways we choose to spend it. I'm 29 at the moment and it's an interesting time of life. People around me are getting married, breaking up, and others are also just living an over indulgent lifestyle. We're all trying our best to make a living, support each other and thrive. One of the areas that feels like a growth blocker for me is finding moments to pause and reflect more on purpose and introspective thoughts given the fast nature of work. Between work, family and friends it can seem like every week is another blur to make it through. A nightmare I may have is waking up and having another 10 years past without being mindful and intentional of life. So thank you for this reminder to love yourself, be in the moment, and pursue purpose.

  367. 51 here Jim... You really hit the nail on the head here for me. I'm as lost as I've ever been but I know this isn't my last hurrah. I've made it this far. I need to start treating myself better. Thank you for giving me clarity.

  368. I pray that you grow with this channel. They world has humbled you and you have gained so much knowledge. Keep teaching

  369. Thank you, sir. I came to think of this poem, "A Psalm of Life" by H. W. Longfellow. In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife! May peace of Christ be with you all. Gratias ago vobis.

  370. Your content won’t disappoint us I can guarantee it! Hey, I’m your new subscriber. I subscribed to your channel right after watching your "40 Years of Lessons in 8 Minutes" video. I also shared it with four of my friends, and they loved it! They said it was really helpful for them too. #KEEPGROWING

  374. Congratulations Jim. In one of your videos you gave me inspiration for my weekly fitness videos; every Monday I’m posting them up, hopefully the advice I’ll share will help others in the fitness journey

  375. Dude i really admire your attitude , really clear and clean ! I really hope to reach 57 and be strong and healthy like you !

  376. you are right, i think if you are consistent in posting and learning there is no stoping you from success. i think so, as you said you learned a lot on the way.

  377. Hello there, I was wondering, if I can share with you the most important thing ever. God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. Then He was put into a tomb for 3 days, after that Abba Father raised Jesus to life.He appeared to people, and went back to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" Will you today genuinely by faith receive Jesus into your life for salvation?

  378. I came across your video by chance. It's great to listen to you and benefit from your experience. You look very strong, vigorous, fit. Greetings from Turkiye, İstanbul.

  380. It's the magical formula I lived my whole life by. Don't be perfectionist, try something out, work with it and then adjust. It's better to instantly start with the perfect knowledge or approach, sure. But life is equality rewarding if you just pick something and adjust for what you want along the way. Just don't let people tell you what questions to ask. Ask them all. Ask "why did nobody actually try to <insert unconventional method you found here>?"

  381. Family is EVERYTHING for me. Sad that it took the passing of 2 brothers (65 & 70), father passing at 71, nephew passing , and my husband passing from cancer at 65 a few years ago for me to really listen to the universe telling me this. (Your 3 simple words are spot on, too).
    3
  382. Love this one Jim - my girls are 7 and 10. It really isn’t easy. It is the HARDEST job, especially emotionally, but I literally can’t imagine my life without them now. They saved me in so many ways. Like you said, it’s worth every moment ❤ And huge respect to you and your wife! It sounds like you’re both doing an amazing job with yours. That’s amazing of your friend to take a minute to recognize that
    3
  383. "Waiting for Happiness? Stop! It's already here." That's so cool. Your words gave me mental satisfaction. Thank you

  384.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  No problem, I'm new on the channel I enjoy this types of videos I'm gonna subscribe.
    3
  385. @ I bet it’s overwhelming! And I saw you had some videos go viral. I hope you don’t feel pressure to respond to every comment on those videos lol. I meant the smaller ones ☺️ Either way I’m just so happy for you and that people are getting to hear your knowledge and your story. Excited to follow along!

  386. Action action action great motivation love 💕 it 😊😮🎉❤🙏

  388. Good for you, Jim!!!

  389. You are right, but like i am 39 and we have seen the transition period from Flopy disk to VCD, we have seen VCR and casates, we have seen a lot of things this generation does not have, we have a lot of things to tell. We had relationships, real ones, not on social media. we have friends that are included physically on our celebrations and sorrows. I think we are blessed this way and the kids of today have new software and AI to help but so far us too.

  393. Thank you for sharing this as a 19 YO i needed to hear this
    3
  394. thank you for that....wow...knocked me out...
    3
  395. Well your age demo is like the largest in the population so it all makes sense. People are bored but would prefer to listen to a total stranger ramble than someone they know rambling. Because if its someone you know you have to seem to care. No bueno. So good job. Turn on the camera, talk, walk and some people will find you interesting. Its awesome i mean it sincerely.
    3
  396. Well done! 😀

  397. Taking responsibility and ownership puts one’s self into the driver’s seat. Unfortunately, when you see the leader of the free world, never taking responsibility or ownership it causes major major issues, which includes a hemorrhaging lack of responsibility. So you have to fight what you see on the TV set on a daily basis knowing that that is the wrong way to be. Respect those who take responsibility and you should not respect those who never do!
    3
  398. More similarities: My wife, like yours, is the ying to your yang. I am ADHD with dyslexia and my wife is ODD. How perfect! We are lucky and fortunate to have such partners. Forever grateful! Keep on keeping on! Your messages are spot on!
    3
  399. I can second that. I'm the ADHD guy and my wife keeps everything together. Very fortunate.

  400. Why did you have to wait 2 months for a paycheck? That doesn’t make any sense, you should have gotten a paycheck after one month

  401. Thank you, Jim. I do wish my younger self had heard these words of wisdom.

  402. Thank you so much ☺️

  403. I am 43. Cheers man, loves this video, I am still trying to figure this out in my life

  404. It is my first video of today. I am happy starting my day with such positive talks.❤

  405. Greetings from Poland , Europe fan is here

  406. If you are wrong then I don’t want to know what is right. Spot on for the most part. What do you think is the hardest one.
    3
  407. This is an amazing video! Thanks for posting; I enjoyed the video very much.
    3
  408. I appreciate you 😊 My inner critic is the worst. My partner though, it's her biological family. Oh my gosh, they're horrible. Especially her mother! I don't understand her. The pain she's given her is unmeasurable. My honey is a lovely, beautiful and funny person and daughter, sister, cousin and aunt. I think she needs to hear what you have to say ❤
    3
  409. Great suggestions, definitely worth a try. A little off topic, but I like the lamp you have behind you. I’d like to get one for myself.
    3
  410. This was spot on, I will add, in loving yourself, retrain your brain and self talk to what you desire rather than what was programmed to believe.
    3
  411. We are socially created creatures by design and need one another to fight depression, and i've learned to live at the moment, work is only a vehicle as mentioned, i'm as happy on Monday morning (to see my coworkers) as i am Fridays, don't matter, in all things be happy to be alive, because one day we will be bedridden and think about those days that we're wasted and the chasing the wind, God Bless.
    3
  412.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  Do you not like me or the comment I said?! How come I didn't get a heart from you just because I learned what you said in your video at an earlier age.
    3
  413. Start out small I agree 😊🎉❤
    3
  414. A friend of mine told me his doctor told him for men in their 50's its known as sniper's alley. A lot of men get taken in their 50s. I'm 54 myself. Well done for starting the channel. Very inspirational and gives food for thought. Good luck.

  415. the big question is what is time well spent!
    3
  416. Do you know Jesus? Jesus knows you ❤
    3
  417. it is truly amazing after watching such an impressionable video- of all infinite thins you could comment you asked about a nose? damn you are an idiot lol.
    3
  418. @ Just curious if you had skin cancer. It was very prominent in your video. I clicked on your video because I thought you may have been ill, or had a terminal ending disease.
    3
  419.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  don’t waste your time on these internet people. many were raised on iPads without parents and have to wipe the Cheetoh dust off their fingers to type these outrageous comments. Loved the video - amazing message. I’ll catch you on your next upload ❤️

  420. Thanks for the ‘timely’ reminder 🙏🏼
    3
  421. I have a full time job, and I am a YouTuber... I trust... it will come... I show up, I'm being consistent, I'm patient, I trust the process.... it's hard and I'm still showing up 👍 I'm worth it... I'm not giving up.. I'm not stopping!
    3
  422. Thank for the video Jim! I’m only 39, and I’ve got a lot to learn, but I come watch these videos as a reminder of what I know deep down but many of us suppress. It was well said and I took a lot away from this.
    3
  423. Great video my biggest problem is soda I dream about it lol
    3
  424. lol do I qualify? ...sit for longer than 10mins my legs stiffen up 😅
    3
  425. With a bigger audience comes a GREAT responsibility to INFLUENCE others either positively or negatively. We’ve had our discussion and we SEE each other! I see the white wings with tips of black. That makes you knowledgeable to both and your natural choice is to do good! That is the correct path that will reward not only you but all those you influence. Just remember this as you grow!
    3
  426. I am 77 and on the same path, but I have a hard time resisting the crap my wife continues to bring home. She is pre-diabetic and resistant to changing her habits. She seems to resent my suggestions but does go along. When I was young, I was a bull strong weight lifting surfer who had a steak and vegetables every night for dinner. I had complete control over what and when I ate. I have the will to lean out and have been lifting, but it is exponentially more difficult when you live with opposing forces that you are trying to get along with and stay married.
    3
  427. Thanks for the reminder Jim, I need to keep hearing this, I'm taking action! 🔥
    3
  428. ❤❤❤Great parents drive Society’s evolution! I commend, salute & admire the parenting job that you and your LOVEly wife have done. 🙏🙏🙏👊🏽🔥❤️
    3
  429. Yes sir, you are beyond correct. I learned as I’ve gotten older (currently 38) that if you don’t believe in what you are doing, go out and learn to fail. If you’re not failing, you’re not trying hard enough. Because when you succeed, man that koolaid taste good. Thank you Sir!

  430. Yes. I can relate too ! I felt UNWORTHY of fitting in with other more experienced musicians than myself when I participated in a music contest a few years ago !! Alot of them think I am as good as them, and Im like Wow !! Its a Pretty huge compliment to be accepted by them because many of them are professional level !! I play and sing pretty good, but never considered myself a professional by any means ... but like you said I can turn it around and just accept their praise they give me and allow myself to fit in with them and keep growing and playing my music as a musician and artist !!

  431. Im from indonesia jim I always watching your video every morning to motivate my self to be better tanks for your advices.

  432. Good suggestions

  433. Nice job Jim!! I'm 58, been training since I was 20. I trained hardcore from 20 to 35. From 36 to 55 it was off and on. (I had a high stress corporate job/family) I retired at 56 and I realized my body had become so weak and out of shape. I turned it around at 57. It was NOT easy!!! Now I'm back to my old self and loving life again! I enjoy your content.
    3
  434. This video is so inspiring! "Adapt or FREEZE" really drives home the importance of embracing change and pushing forward. The message is powerful and motivating – a great reminder that we have the choice to grow or stay stagnant. The delivery is engaging and thought-provoking. Definitely something everyone should watch to spark their own personal growth journey!
    3
  435. Congratulations Jim! Just discovered your channel & so inspired by your wise words and insights. Thank you for sharing!

  436. I´ve heard this bs for the last 30 years....But I am 44 and fit as an army private. Good food and regular workout makes wonders.
    3
  437. totally agree NO is powerful, but sometimes it closes doors we didn't even know existed. saying YES can be scary, but who knows what amazing places it could lead us to? have you ever said YES even when you were nervous? I think saying YES is more challenging than a NO, and remember, some people won't like it when you say NO, it's human nature. too many NOs can leave you isolated, completely alone. in my opinion balance is key
    3
  438. When you're younger, you can't have this perspective because you have way more time.

  442. Jim? I am 25 years and I really love physiotherapy and I was really afraid to go to medicine but now I feel I am really old to start studying medicine ... I want to be orthopedics surgeon instead (I really like this thing) what is your opininon? I feel like I am wasting time to not studying medicine....I dont know why but I feel like NOT STUDYING MEDICINE IS WASTING MY LIFE (FOR ME) But I am scared to start in this age
    2
  443. I didn't think I would watch this entire video. I did and I am so thankful. I am so appreciative of how honest and real you are. Your words of wisdom, your story, your insights will change my life from this day forward for the better. God bless you, man! I truly appreciate you!

  444. Exaclty! You got it. Just do the thing and chances are that you will get better at the thing.

  449. i had complicated childhood, nowadays i love my job (self employment) but some childhood's fears... no better say: F.E.A.R.S. remain and almost each day is a struggle; i remember a slogan: victories today - buttles tomorrow; not so easy, not each day, easy say than done but thanks God - i keep up keep up..

  450. ​ @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  they live deeply inside of me and in some situations appear very quickly & heavily; there are 2 ways: avoid such situations or deep into them; i choose 2nd and must fight on daily or weekly basis; i don't need any distractions, because when i return to normal - they quickly disappear; it's like when you hold your breath and dive into the water, wait until you can (and endure), emerge and breath normally
    2
  451. It's not the length, it's the depth of your life that matters. We rise by lifting others. You don't need a reason to be kind to others.

  454. Whatever you do - don't spend your life on regrets.
    2
  455. Such truth! Love this framework - everything is temporary. Helps deal with the eventual end of things like relationships.
    2
  456. I'm 45 and life is a balance of everything. You GOTTA spend time with family and you GOTTA pay attention to your career/money too. You don't want to be broke in old age and have to work whatever menial job you can get because social security isn't enough. I do meaningful work and make very good money. I also make time for family. Life isn't choosing between the two. You CAN have both. You're choosing not to have both. Establish boundaries and separate the two and tend to the two.
    2
  457. Wow, this video has hit hard. I was overweight all my adult life (am now 61 years old) but 7 years ago I decided to do something about it and over a year I lost 110lbs through diet and exercise. Exercise wise I concentrated on cardio only. However, what you just described in this video is me. I am now so much happier with how I look and feel. But I have lost so much muscle. I am what I call puny. I know I need to increase muscle but not sure how to go about it. But watching this makes me realise I need to address this.
    2
  458. Very wise. - 100% agreed. 1.Corinthian 13 & 1.Timothy 1.5 😇
    2
  459. I like this video because it’s timeless but yet again it addresses the nature of time so it’s very meta in its own way.
    2
  460. Good onya mate 👍
    2
  461. You’re on the right track. You figured out what needs improvement and started the solution. Stay sober, stay strong. One last thing, money doesn’t make you happy. I know from experience.
    2
  462. All those drop in the bucket is what fills the bucket, or did i miss the mark in the first 20 seconds of the video?
    2
  463. Prepare for eternity. Love God, neighbor, and yourself. Without a relationship with God, you are wasting your life and what your purpose is.
    2
  464. Hey, can you make a video for people aged 19-27? They really help out a lot!
    2
  465. I’m only 44 but life is passing me by way too fast since I hit 40. The midwife crises has truly hit I’m presuming as I’m constantly in search for pastures new. I’ve started working out for the last 9 months and feel so much better. I don’t go mad I just do 25 to 30 minutes of weights and stomach crunches after work at local gym. I’m now looking to sell up and move to another country as the people around me don’t value my time much since have children and working a full time job. All I need is my wife and kids and some new places in nature to visit that put my mind a peace.
    2
  466. This is absolutely the facts!!! I grew up with that character and mindset of showing up and doing the work. I’m not always 15 minutes ahead of schedule, but I am dependable! Thank you for showing up and speaking what needs to be heard across this country! ❤
    2
  467. My kinda content. Cheers for this Jim, it is something I’m still learning. Many thanks

    2
  475. I am 35, and I feel exactly what you say! Thanks for sharing your wisdom! I agree that we should love more ourselves so that we can also love more the others, very wise message! This capitalistic and over pressuring/performance world is not allowing us focusing on what really matter, which is love and peace!
    2
  476. I watch the entire thing cause its really what everyone needs to hear right now!!🙏🙏
    2
  477. Great advice

  478. I like the way you think and about time and life in general. When you have this thoughts it means you are in first step toward the truth . I recommend you to read the Quran .
    2
  479. Great points Jim. Subscribed! What do you do these days to keep engaged? Family, work, hobbies? Tick Tok. Time waits for no man.
    2
  480.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  Nice. Ever thought of picking up an instrument? I play 4. It really helps keep ones mind sharp. It also helped me recover after a mTBI. My hobbies are basically Nutrition/Fitness and music. Cheers!
    2
  481. Start with considering myself as my friend. Would I speak to or think of my friend in such a manor? How would I treat them? It sounds easy but I've had many years of self hate 😢
    2
  482. Then there's imposter syndrome 2.0. When you start to realize that you have imposter syndrome, but feel that you don't have REAL imposter syndrome like other people who ACTUALLY have imposter syndrome. You just feel like an imposter syndrome imposter.

  483. Thank you, wise man! I really needed this today🙏🙏 Greetings from Budapest - Hungary😊

  484. Thank you! Good video and thoughts people need to hear. When I can’t do something or plan ahead, I reach out to others, learn, and do the work to make it thru the storms of life. I am sorry about the loss of your student. Maybe others that need to hear the lessons of life will be open to these.

  488. Thanks to you I feel way better now. Thank you very much

  489. Wow fantastic! I just watched 'that video' before clicking on this one. I have been thinking about setting up a YouTube in order to share my feelings and get a few things off my chest. The idea alone sounds quite therapeutic. These first two videos are inspiring. Looking forward to following your journey.

  490. The world needs love, it needs God.

  494. I'm 46, Got rid of 95% of friends years ago. I prefer my own company, have no social media besides YouTube. I no longer care what people think of me, I don't care for status either. I have 5 kids and they are all i need. Besides my wife parents and brother also. I lost my job because of my back and recently had a spinal fusion. I don't care about gossip, whos doing what or going where. I just don't care at all. I don't watch the news either. I stay home with the family, visit my parents and brother, i go fishing, camping, do gardening, cars, electronics. One thing I'd really love is to be able to by my family a home. Thats all other than that i have all i need. Death doesn't bother me, I'm glad life is short because i really don't want to be here for to long. Life is always hard no matter what you have or how healthy you are.
    2
  495. Well said! Thank you for sharing! TIME is the most important resource there is!
    2
  496. I take it that you've probably achieved and raised a family in that 40 years of which you speak, Jim? This is not done overnight, and is incredibly hard work if done right; certainly not wasted, I'm sure. Also provides that sense of purpose that you mention. I believe that what changes is the 50+ years outlook, and the realisation of one's own mortality. We can't help but start to reflect on the time you have left! Good health and best wishes to you all. 😊
    2
  497. Hey that sounds great! Do you use any sunscreen or some washing liquid on top of that?
    2
  498. Awesome 😎
    2
  499. I absolutely agree that time is the most precious commodity. I used to go about life with pride, this is where I gained so much in my career. But I was burnt out, miserable, no time or energy for anything.... I became a terrible person, which led to the loss the love of my life where we agreed to separate... I realized that I need to let go of what made me get there: my pride and ego. Now I'm slowly transitioning to go about life with love. Love for myself, love for my time, love for each opportunity that comes everyday. I became happier than I've been in years. I wish I could go back in time with what I know and understand now. But I can't and it breaks me to pieces when I dwell on it. In an alternate universe or the past reliving itself with a better me and her maybe. But I'll be okay with where I am and where I'm going, as long as I live life with love. Unburdened and free.

  500. Very good advice to love yourself because this world 🌍 doesn't love or care about anyone

  502. all that you think you are and have done will be forgotten at some point...in 200 years who will remember you? it will be like you never existed and reality is you don't exist...say some words now and where are they? gone disappeared in the ether so if words mean nothing after being spoken what do they mean while being spoken? same...nothing... if life is pointless and meaningless after some period of time what is life while it is being lived? life is utterly pointless and meaningless which is what hermits and yogis and monks have been telling people for thousands of years...basically life is a piss in the wind and a game for nought and the highest understanding is nothing is happening and nothing exists
    2
  503. That imposter syndrome silence was sooo relatable haha! Day 65-70 felt a little weird when coming towards the finish of 75 hard, thanks for sharing your thoughts with us all! Keep up the good work!

  509. I agree with everything you are saying. My problem is I have not held these words of wisdom through the last 40 years in my awareness as much as I should have done ..sometimes not doing the things or going to the places I would have done if I was aware of your words back then …I was living in a semi unaware world and most of the time not going outside of my comfort zone has meant not all my time has been wisely spent ..thank you for your words . My advice would be listen to your intuition and that voice inside when opportunity comes up to avoid regret which then comes knocking on your door later in life

  510. THANK YOU!!
    2
  511. I’m listening to this as I am a few year away from being 40 and I say that with a lot of delight. Thanks for sharing your heart and experience. I thinking about leaving this world and recognize all I will take is my experience which connects perfectly it into how the time we have is precious and this is a limited time opportunity.
    2
  512. Thank you for this. I really enjoyed it. Think you summarized really well. I’m going to be 60 next month and loving myself seems like something I’ve not done a good job with. Seeking purpose is true. Gratitude is also true and important- thanking God for everything.

  513. Hey man, you are very inspirational. I hope the kids and wife are okay...Enjoy life brother!

  514. Jesus Chist is the meaning once you get what he said everything changes ❤

  515. No technical advises here from Jim, just live good dont live bad, lots of wisdom👍
    2
  516. Saying No is especially important when dealing with a narcissist.
    2
  517. I dont fully agree. Greed, comparing yourselves to others, insecurity etc is the problems. Chase YOUR dreams and be content once you have them. Yes be kind its far better than the alternative.
    2
  518. Thanks Jim, you deserve the best!
    2
  519. You're just paraphrasing Jesus, Buddha, Seneca, and Ghandi, among others
    2
  520. We All Need God and Jesus!
    2
  521. I am just 42 but I have to agree with him. Very deep and correct point of view of how to live
    2
  522. What would you say to someone that’s almost never struggled always knew what to do is really smart. Always knew his path and has learnt heaps from wisdom. But all of a sudden lost his perception of time all together. Feels incredibly lost all of a sudden not like a person. And has lost the desire to live.
    2
  523. Protect your genuine self, Love life and yourself, Learn to recognize red flags and Toxic behavior in people, And learn to set boundaries, YouTube is full of info on all this, Contemplative prayer is a powerful life tool learn it!!! 🙏❤️

  525. Yes. Thanks for this video. Great bottom line thoughts here.
    2
  526. You got it, keep rollin!
    2
  527. I disagree about Time being the most important thing we have , I thing Health Is the most important thing , physical AND mental health. You could be younger , even a kid but with a fatal disease so Time doesn't mater too much in those situations. We should be grateful to have enough Health to continue enjoying this ride. We are alive.

  528. You are right about ask your self, are you feel pride about what you are? What you do? We sabotage ourselfs

  533. Like my Aunt told me ... your 50 years old, go to bed and wake up your 75 ! You can't buy back time. It's not for sale.
    2
  534. Live With No Regrets The Only Time Wasted is When We Die Young or Old Age
    2
  535. I listened to you and agree with you on everything!.. But I live in a cold country where it's dark 8 months of the year and you have to have money to live.. and move to a warmer country because just cozying up costs money.. So time is money, money gives you quality and what you talk about.. applies if you have money..
    2
  536. i’m still here

  537. You have stated nothing that has not been said millions of times by utopian seekers. It has its natural allure but humanity is its road block, always was since the beginning of time.

  549. I spent my life mostly alone, driving 18 wheels xcountry. I've seen every inch of the USA. I loved it... no regrets. Happy life, no wife. I loved women, but was still happy when the white lines called...
    2
  550. Well my name is Jim (Jimmy) and I’m pushing 40… felt like you were talking directly to me lol. Man, that’s exactly how I feel at the moment. I read this somewhere… talking about laundry and how to stay organized. You gotta keep things moving. Same can be said for life; don’t let the clothes pile up. You gotta keep moving! Also the bit about helping others is spot on. External actions. Great video, Jim! 🙌🏻

  551. Beautiful man. Thks to be you.

  552. Whatever you could say to your younger self, that person would not listen - or at least not understand. The only way to wisdom is to first experience.

  554. thank you so much for sharing, I am 26 years old and just recently broke up with my GF, right now I am building myself again brick by brick.. I started to love myself more, giving time and effort for myself, taking care of myself.. as a 26 year old from Philippines 🇵🇭 I really appreciate you guys❤️ I love you all brothers! Cheers, we got this! let's surrender everything to God and sooner he'll give peace of mind that we always wanted ❤️ at the end of the day, nothing last forever, we have to take care ourselves, brothers!

  556. Good video, lotta heart. Good message about enjoying life. I appreciate the refresher. My opinions below about the trend kf videos lately. It amazes me how a usual rich person can give advice to a poor person that money or material possessions wont solve problems. Not specifically you, but i digress to my point. The problem is that all lf that would solve problems. It's not the fact that anyone was incapable of finding happiness, they just didnt find it responsibly. There's a path and a trail that everyone follows. What you deem as ineffective is highly effective for someone else. The fact is that the enemy doesnt want the flock happy so it flip flops the problems and keeps those under the thumb, remaining under the thumb for better control. Where someone lke you learned better control, someone else suffering more will learn your lessons that you failed to learn but not have the answers you were privileged to have. Thus where you'd be able to solve the problem but couldn't because you did not know, that other person could have but can't because they do not have the means.
    2
  557. I invite trolls to post their comments. On my channel because it makes me look better.❤ Perhaps I can induce a little intelligence and love for Them to elevate themselves and evolve.❤
    2
  558. I'm in the same boat as you. I'm 61 and retiring now. I want to make videos for my grandchildren on life lessons and general positive encouragement. You are so right, the most difficult part is just getting started talking to the camera and understanding this method of editing to make something watchable and entertaining. Liked and followed. now off to watch more of your videos. please don't be upset if I make videos using the same method as you. my most comfortable time is when walking.

  563. When you realise to stop wasting time. That’s the time you start successful
    2
  564. You 💯 correct. TIME is so precious that when we’re young you don’t think too much about. But as you get older. You just want TIME to slow down. Kids make you see how fast TIME passes as they grow up.😔

  565. awesome

  570. 😊 every time I look back at this channel I see it getting bigger it's awesome.
    2
  571. Start praying ask god to reveal himself
    2
  572. My biggest challenge has been overcoming my insecurity of being a bit on the shorter size as a man. At times it has made me feel less of a man. Thanks for the powerful message!
    2
  573. Let's GO! The journey starts with the first step.
    2
  574. Great advice. Thank you for sharing!! Very grateful!
    2
  575. Wawo, well explained, sir. I feel this with respect to my job. That's why maybe I started YouTube. I didn't want to continue like this. I am trying to change how I think. thanks for identifying.
    2
  576. Thank you ❤
    2
  577. Hi Jim, you're not far from Heaven! It seems to me that you learned about the vanity of this world, but you need Jesus, you need to find purpose in God alone. He's the only One that can give you a purpose, none of the tings this world has to offer will satisfy you because it'll all pass way, it'll all be gone in the blink of the eye. Taste the Lord and see how good He is, God bless, I prayed for you!

  578. Creating things, craving to love not to be loved, those are the 2 things i live by.

  581. Having knowledge and discipline! Strong-will and having patience! Patience is hard for alot of people including myself!
    2
  582. @ Doing great. I’ve been documenting my weight loss journey. Lost 30 pounds in about 30 days. That’s what I’ve been doing on my YouTube channel to show people it’s possible! Thanks for asking!
    2
  583. Thanks for the motivation
    2
  584. Every day I wonder.
    2
  585. I'm 58 myself, it took most of my life to connect with a higher power to the point where my goal in life was revealed to me. It feels unfair that these revelations do not come to us (or perhaps we're not ready to accept them) in our youth, what you speak of should save someone a headache but chances are everyone else has to go through exactly what we went through, too.
    2
  586. As much as I respect this kind of advice there is always a part of me that thinks people that have found this happiness within would not be making YouTube videos asking for likes, it doesn’t sit right with me.
    2
  587. He's just spreading wisdom . That's a lovely thing to do, take it or leave it. Up to you.

  588.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  thanks Jim - good man 👌🏻

  590. @ I'm living in Lisbon/Portugal, and I'm almost 53 yrs old. Found this vid as an algorithm suggestion from YT. I was listening to you, and fully identifying myself with your perspective. It was very pleasant to hear you. Thank you for sharing your own thoughts and life experience.

  591. Thank you Jim

  592. Great video big dog 💪
    2
  593. Thank you for sharing your insight into your experiences and life adventures!
    2
  594. How do you measure to know which way is the best to value every second of your life! No matter how you live, you will always think that there was something better out there that you missed…. In other words, there is no end for this in my opinion!
    2
  595. The purpose of life is to do the will of God. I have a special testimony on how God told me that. This was also a question that King Solomon ask the Lord . I also asked the Lord what the purpose is of life is and got answered by God Himself....
    2
  596. Love to see thid for you. Truly an enourgement for me and my journey and I am sure to many others as well. Going to give you a shot in my Day 7 recap video if you don't mind.

  597.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  Awesome. that video is scheduled to drop tomorrow morning.

  602.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  The society became way to soft

  603.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  because hard times make strong men and strong men make good times and good times makes weak men which makes hard times which makes strong men which makes good times which makes weak men which makes hard times

  604. It’s life Jim, but not as we know it..
    2
  605. So many people - young people especially - get stuck with a crappy friendship circle. It can be hard to get away from them and make new friends with the right people but like you said so so important. Any outside influences shape who we are. The good news is we have things like YouTube, great teachers and motivators and it's free! Really helped me a lot back in the day. Forget Tik Tok though, that stuff's worse than crack cocaine 😅
    2
  606. Your first forty had the purpose of making money. The second half of your life is about learning who you really are.
    2
  607. You got 23 years old viewer from Türkiye. And “the second did you spend is not coming back” is truly right. Actually we can not think how the time is very special and we can not get that time with anything. Even with money. The time and the death is only thing must happen 100% in life and of course for us. We must spend our time more carefully. Doing what we want, without anyone hurt for sure, and focus ourselves. Not for anyone. Because we only once in this life, and somethings won’t come back. Just looking ourselves, are we happy in life situation or not. Thanks for the video. 😇

  608. Thank you!!!!!!

  612. Purpose?

  613. What camera are you using ??
    2
  614. Just love your videos Jim. Your words resonates with Bible I read. Keep uploading great content. ❤. Much love and peace.
    2
  615. Thanks for sharing, when we get this far we really grow when we reflect on time that has passed by and what may be remaining. Life is precious and time is a big commodity.
    2
  616. How could you be truly free,if you had a purpose or even a reason for being,your here being this for no reason whatsoever,and no reason is needed for anything whatsoever?
    2
  617. Thank you 🙂

  618. ❤Thank you

  619. our self confidence come from experience. We all have shortcomings but strengths also. Some people have a quiet confidence that is stronger than those with the outward confidence.

  621. Women dont like the dad bod, but the vibe, someone who is taken, have something going on in his life.
    2
  622. We are here for our God our Father in Heaven and to spread our Fathers word. Live how God would want us to live. We are all one as we all came from our creator our Heavenly Father and we will all become one in his kingdom after we pass on with eternal life. God is the meaning of life and how we live our lives knowing that fact. Thank Jesus Christ for saving us of our sins so we get this chance.

  623. There's a lot of mental issues With the population of the united States. one of the reasons is people are unhappy. They don't Socialize, and always Working. I understand why life expectancy It's much higher in spain. I thank God I made that move 10 years a go We are living happy in barcelona spain❤
    2
  624. I disagree. I've learned the "I'll show you" to someone is a someone you don't need in your life. Cheerleaders are supposed to be on your team through wins and losses and not something you need to "prove yourself" too. As a widow these past few years 'I've found out who my true friends and family members who truly care are and purged the rest and believe my circle shrunk! Too old for drama and going to travel my own path and don't care how well I'm liked. I'm a much different person and no longer a people pleaser.
    2
  625. @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  Thanks ALOT for reply and for kind words. I will try to follow the advice I will not give up for my kid, I'll keep moving forward. Thank you so very much. By just this reply you don't even know how much you've helped... Thanks and prayers for you Jim. 💛
    2
  626.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  I will sir, thanks for kind words. I'm crying while typing this. Thanks and have a healthy & long life sir. 💛

  627. nice

  628. Every living thing on this earth has been created with a purpose. Every human has a purpose. we need to live purposeful lives to become successful. To discover what is your purpose, ask your creator, who created you. That is God. If we follow his instructions and do good deeds, we will neither have fear nor grieve. The absence of fear and grief in your life is called Peace.

  629. Busy in life forgetting to be greatful thank you sir

  631. No amount of money ever bought a second of time
    2
  632. I’m always early to work and it drives me crazy when coworkers are constantly late! They are always sorry. Yes they are sorry, they have no respect for anyone else’s time! 😡
    2
  633. Nice way to retire. For me, I believe retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My wife and I both spent same number of years in the civil service, she invested through a wealth manager and myself through the 401k. We both still earning after our retirement fund has grown way more than it would have with just the 401(k). Haha
    2
  634. Jim i love your channel,i a woman and this channel are just great!!!❤
    2
  635.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  yeah no problem it takes time to build up viewers so I hope it helps.
    2
  636. hahaha, i swear it feels like i wish i have heard this a few years back, i have suffered a lot just because of not able to say no. Oh may be one day we will do a colab and ill tell you what this video means to me. It vital to say no on right time. I lost myself in between.
    2
  637.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  best one, Its very Important that people are learning aswell. I hope it helps more people.

  639. Love u❤❤❤❤❤❤
    2
  640. Another banger of a video, I am so impressed by how well you speak. Are you using a Gimbal on this walk and talk ? If so which one ?
    2
  641. i heard this kind of talks on youtube quite a few times now. But each time, I noticed one thing is always missing in these talks. it’s quite ironic, but the most important thing in life apart from all that you’ve just said, is still missing.
    2
  642. I'm 35 years but the older I got I became very future focused and think about death or the the fact that everything has an end a lot. I am not dumb and have a good job (IT) but I struggle to connect with other people and lack purpose. I love life and know time is our most precious resource. But what's the best way to use out time? What is my purpose?
    2
  643. Teach me your way master
    2
  644. why people choose to live only "mechanically" is beyond me
    2
  645. So simple and honest. Lots of Love.

  648. Thanks Jim. I’m 36 years old, and I’ve been adapting and taking this mindset to heart. It has transformed my life dramatically.

  649. Great advice and thanks for your wisdom sir 🙏 stay blessed 🙌

  650. Well if you make it and whole 75 days you can say you accomplished your goal! 👍
    2
  651. Hey I came across ur video about after 40 years, and then I came across this ladies shortly after powerful, and appreciate the perspective and advice. https://youtu.be/piidErez4NA?si=0rTbONWyikEwJWgf
    2
  652. A good video that ties in with lobsters’ lives! ❤ This one came at a good time to report how I got uncomfortable yesterday. I attended a pickelball group to possibly join and learn how to play. Everyone was welcoming and shared information like I belonged. I’m looking forward to next week when I go again. I feel these folks will be a good group to learn from and maybe build friendships beyond pickelball. I could have easily talked myself out of attending. The stories we tell ourselves to put the stops to a new experience could stunt our growth, unless we do it anyway. A thought that helps me step forward—I have failed already if I fail to try.
    2
  653. Serve Jesus. It is eternal.
    2
  654. I'm 60 and think of how time has passed, it's a blur. That thing inside us that makes us want to be good is God. If you love God, you will love others and yourself.
    2
  655. Thanks for this reminder! My inner critic doesn’t bother me as much anymore but the close and anonymous critics have been bugging me lately since I started making videos again.I always have to remind myself that at least I’m trying,instead being content and always wondering “what if.”Keep sharing your wisdom Jim 😁👍!
    2
  656. We are eternal beings. So many people are laden and downtrodden because they feel they ought to have done so much more of whatever their ego envisages as important, but this is a dual mindset of war against themselves. Maybe many of us would actually feel deeper connection to life and inner truth if we just entered deep rest and actually gave up any pursuit of fixing things or remedy the world. We might find that we humans would love each other's company if we allowed us to be 'failures' from our ego's viewpoint and never ever accept linear time and memories - good or bad - to rule over the holy instant of this very breath.
    2
  657. This is another good one that hits home! I’m giving myself “needs improvement” in these areas. I have a gratitude journal that needs daily entries to boost my happiness state of mind. I’ll be watching this again and taking notes. ❤
    2
  658. You made me CALM DOWN , thank you Jim
    2
  659. Unc just spit the realest truth
    2
  660. Time my time given an doing for others an in worst place right now
    2
  661. 100% agree, wise words many need to listen to, not just only the young who starts independent life...
    2
  662.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives I’ll wait till they respond 😂 other people change only when they want to and you better not let anyone slow down your momentum 😮‍💨
    2
  663. I wish you were my teacher I would have payed a lot more attention
    2
  664. thanks!
    2
  665.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  Today - people are not living longer, they are dying longer. With the right energy, we can change this. By managing energy, our time is more valuable.
    2
  666. Excellent message! Thanks
    2
  667. 😊
    2
  668. Truthfully, I have NEVER felt imposter syndrome for two main reasons: 1) know who I am and my abilities and limitations. 2) And I am okay with that! We watch Jim because Jim is REAL. Your intentions are to help. Your mission is noble. Just as I am telling you this, this is how I feel about myself. Earth Angels do amazing things! Keep on!
    2
  669. Jesus saves us

  670. Good observations and reflections

  671. When your young you think you have all the time in the world When your old you realize that you didn't..very sad

  676. Amazing talk Jim. It puts life in a whole new perspective. Keep making content please! I am 45 and I am on a road currently to get better everyday

  677. “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.“ - Jesus Christ
    2
  678. Also be careful feeding self hatred demon throughout your life about fearing loss of time or whatever else. "love yourself" triggers the urge to puke to be honest when I hear it. When people say this I always want to clarify what they are actually talking about and to ensure its not confused with something else. Self acceptance and respect? Sure that would be 1000% improvement here

  679.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  yes I just (personally) wish a different word was used than love. I had a malignant narcissist of the highest order who used the term, a lot. My issue is that I am over aware of how much time I have wasted, but I don't even know who or what I am anymore to do anything that seems "useful" to me with it. Anhedonia is nasty.

  680. It’s true.

  681. no AI video self-help shit gonna be better than this.. that's the real thing, eye to eye, punch in the stomach, go foward, nice videos Jim, keep going, people need this.. Congrats , let's go!

  682. Very interesting. I think the inner critic is one of the archetypes.
    2
  683. Appreciate it, love yourself led to love others
    2
  684. Changing your mindset to positive thinking and to surround yourself with goal oriented people that are pursuing same positive vibes is the only way you can change. You have to become a completely different person to truly achieve higher expectations of yourself. Anyone can do it, just go after it now! Thanks , Jim . This thinking really does work you just have to want it !

  687. A great message that I really did need to hear after a rough day, thank you.

  688. Great sir.. TRUE....🎉

  689. don't take yourself serious

  690. Wow the background is amazing ❤

  691. I love your thought and have appreciated it. I think that the best way to find meaning and purpose in one person’s life when a person comes to a point to know his Creator and to Him known and it makes more sense why we are doing what we are doing. Loving oneself is good but I think loving God would be first in the equation and the rest will follow by doing good deeds. I hope and pray you knew about the goodnews of Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior. We can learn many wisdom from Him. God bless John 15:11-13 (NKJV) 11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and [that] your joy may be full. 12 “This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins and that is greatest display of love of God towards us. Blessed be the name of the Lord
    2
  692. What you say is true. And you are complete and brave. Because you know what happaened and you know what will happen also. Your fourty years, your life. Just a teardrop in the rain. I think the same.
    2
  693. You nailed it, brother! Love is the fulfillment of the Law! And nothing shall pass until it is accomplished.
    2
  694. What advice do you have when people take being inquisitive as being nosy or not minding your business?
    2
  695. I love your insight. However, it is hard for people to change. Most of us are change-resistant. Even if the status-quo sucks, even if deep down inside, you know you are miserable, you are just scrambling, emotionally, to make it to the next day. But you don't change, because for most of us, change requires moving our arses and trying to figure out what went wrong, and that requires change. And boy, change is scarier than the most miserable constant in our lives. So what we do is continue to sleep-walk through our lives, lying to yourselves that one day, when we get that promotion, when the kids grow up, when we retire, then suddenly life will change by itself for the better, sweep us off our feet and carry us to a fulfilling paradise. As if life somehow owes us something. I always hear the phrase, oh, time flies so fast, this and that which happened years ago felt like it happened yesterday. Of course it did, if we were on auto-pilot all this time.

  696. You need Jesus

  707. I really understand what you are telling , from being a young 17 year old and now a 52 year old man and time has gone fast which the speed I’m fine with it’s the quality that matters to go to my resting place happy knowing the percentage of my life everyday was happy n fun , to me Jim is a thought that gives me purpose and drive in my life. I have always thought hobbies and keeping bizzy was the answer but I found that didn’t make me feel purpose, man your so wright time is the most important thing to focus on and make the most of even if it’s short. Thanks for making a video reminding people about time and love and the important of having nice people around you and not the negative ones and lastly and this is not my quote but I love it and goes like this , one of the important we possess is how we react to things. Have cool day Jim n thanks again

  710. What I'm looking for is not being part of this world, but I'm stuck here anyway. I hate what humans have become, their way of being, circular reasoning, religious groups full of hypocrisy, gurus living double lives telling us they have gone through things when they are far from heroic. So I go alone most of the time, waiting for that day when I go home, but even that isn't assured because the answers I seek can't be answered by humans that are finite.
    2
  711. I Thank you
    2
  712. You still haven’t found the answer because you never mentioned Jesus Christ. He will give you your value. He is who loves you and tells you to love yourself as you love him and others. I wish you the best sir
    2
  713. I’m loving your channel so far Jim. I stumbled across your channel earlier today on your viral video. I’m sure you know the one. Keep up the great work. Your channel will certainly go a long way. Loving your life journey and I’m looking forward to what you bring to the channel. I’m 44 from Liverpool in the UK where life here is getting a lot of society down. Masses of illegals coming across the channel and lots of wasted public funding on corruption that we are all sick and tired of. Sorry I digress. Keep up the great work Jim. Just wants to show my appreciation for your content and share a bit about me.
    2
  714. I appreciate you too & 40 yes of life which One wasn't wasted no matter where you are in your life. It has prepared you for this moment to do your growing audience YouTube inspirational Channel.
    2
  715. Hi Jim, great content. I especially appreciate your thoughts on self-love. I'm 41 years old, seems like I'm going through your steps even though I live in a different part of the world.
    2
  716. Hey Jim...thanks for the kind and very wise words. I'm in my late sixties and you're right. What the heck happened to the time that slipped right on by? From now on, I'm going to spend the rest of it as wisely as I can! Thanks, again, Jim!!!
    2
  717. Jim you are doing great. I am 44 in numbers and 16 in spirit 💓🙋🏻‍♀️
    2
  718. A good video!
    2
  719. This is so true,it all boils down to not to be selfish and spend your time wisely,think what legacy you will be leaving behind. Genuinely care ,acknowledge other people, and make the difference each day. Look at yourself in the mirror and say: today I'm going to make a difference. You see all these lessons we learn originates from somewhere,all successful leaders and persons,got this from somewhere,I don't care if you are religious or non religious, but if you really take time and study scripture in the bible and apply it,you will realise all systems came from scripture,all success and other religions who wants to do good comes from the bible.
    2
  720. Jim, maybe it’s the YouTube algorithm or maybe it’s YouTube listening to my conversations, but I’ve been considering stating my own “longevity” brand online. Interesting timing. I DID enjoy your message. Thanks!
    2
  721. Thank you for giving solid advice that ISN’T ideologically based. We need more of that
    2
  722. Thank you for insight. Powerful words
    2
  723. Pray incessantly and get close to God. He will give you the wisdom on how to face any situation. God bless you 🙏🏻🤞🏻
    2
  724. Yeah if you ask my wife, I'm 20 years old mentally. 50 physically. One thing I found that helps is just getting a little exercise, not a lot, just a little each day. Then watching what I eat. But I really need work on the social/spiritual side of things.

  725. This was said 1400Yrs ago - "The Hour shall not be established until time is constricted, and the year is like a month, a month is like the week, and the week is like the day, and the day is like the hour, and the hour is like the flare of the fire.". This hadith indicates that as the Day of Judgement approaches, time will feel increasingly fleeting. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). @Know-ISLAM @Know-QURAN, @Know-Mohammed
    2
  726. I wasted it working my fingers to the bone.
    2
  727. Thanks for sharing Jim. And to be real candid, must of us who are post 40, we heard at least at one point or another, someone, our senior, tell or urge us "NOT TO WASTE TIME", " MAKE IT ALL COUNT FOR GOOD", but young vitality tends to fool folk into believing that you have all the time in the world. And that's simply NOT true. I say seize the time we now have and use it wisely. Help the younger generations to focus on what truly ought to matter to them in life and give them, reasonably, an ear to listen and help guide them...all IS NOT LOST, but time; it's going even now as I type this and you read it...

  728. Hey Jim, its wonderful that you are where you are - Big Love to you :)

  732. Im grateful that I realized it within 30 years. Now its time to live with that wisdom and choose wine over water. You dont have to teach others, you just have to be an good example.

  733. What a great hairline! You rock Jim!
    2
  734. @ one of them would be: after the wedding last year I decided I never want to get back to the weight I gained. That was related to no time for myself, stress, our newborn and when I kind of made myself comfortable in this situation I feel fine but that make me lazy a bit. I let it be as it was waiting for something.. Didn’t do much about it because I didn’t have time, didn’t make it priority, didn’t eat that healthy (I mean healthy but didn’t count calories and didn’t care much), lot of comfort food because I was exhausted and haven’t time, and so on. But I started taking responsibility of that and I made it priority to be healthier and lose some weight. And so I did. And I continue with a goal not to reach some final weight (I know how much I would like to weight) but my goal reach past that and I want to stay healthy and in a good form, not only lose weight. So that is a lifetime goal and defines who I want to be. Besides that I have few hobby that I want to dedicate more time on with no end goal. These hobby also let me grow but in different areas.

  747. Matthew 22:37-39: Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

  758. I’m turning 56 mar 3 so we are close to same age. Been asking myself some of the same questions you talk about and agree with much of what you say

  759. @ your welcome and I look forward to hearing your videos
    2
  760. im 30 feel so good to be 30... I often try to remember that im the man I was trying to be when I was 12.. and I really enjoy that... I make sure im aware that this will pass and one day I'll be 50-60-7-80-90 and die.... So I enjoy knowing that make some happyyyyy that I living my very best years... makes me proud
    2
  761. Good message. I've learned to thank God for any challenge in my life, instead of saying, 'Why me?' If your faith in God is tested and your faith remains strong, God knows you can be trusted and you lay up treasures in heaven. My purpose is to embrace whatever life presents, have unwavering faith in God and be amazed on how He brings me through!
    2
  762. I recently moved out of the family home and split from my partner—we’re still good friends—but now, everything I do feels like it truly matters. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the importance of being true to yourself and not letting others dictate who you should be or what you should do. The downside is that my sleep patterns are completely wrecked, likely due to some deeper anxiety. It feels like my subconscious is on high alert, almost as if it’s trying to protect me—like a defense mechanism keeping me awake, even though I logically know there’s nothing to fear.

  766. I run weekly 10-30 miles average, eat relatively healthy food. I just struggle with constant snacking/sweets. Which just adds up every time even with exercise.
    2
  767. All sounds like BS to me humans suck get a dog. 🇺🇸
    2
  768. I like the topic very much, I do say Yes more then No out of politeness but then things go they are in control or I am the weak one, I understood your video cause it does happen to me❤❤❤
    2
  769. Ok, hear me out. The purpose is the eternal life. If you don't make the eternal life your purpose then your life here and now has no meaning. Your struggles, your sorrows, your joy, your pain, your opinions etc. have no meaning because it all ends the moment you die. And then what? If you don't desire the eternal life then what's the point of all of this? Please, please, PLEASE (and I can't stress it enough!) accept Jesus and invite Him into your life and heart. It will be the best decision you will EVER make! Time here in this life is given to you to get to know Jesus, to have a true, personal relationship with Him and to follow Him. Please, please don't ignore this! This is the only real purpose - the eternal life with God in heaven. Turn to Jesus today!
    2
  770. Your video has made me reflect on how I've been spending my time and has reminded me how valuable time is. I'm 38 and I've experienced the last 20 years pass by in the blink of an eye so your words really hit home. Over the last year, I've been seriously re-evaluating my priorities and I'm in the process of going through some major life changes and this video helps. I find your genuineness very refreshing and I'm sure others do as well. Please keep making videos.
    2
  771. I had to speed this video up to 1.75 speed to save some of my time.
    2
  772. Thanks for making the video, I do have to time to watch as I made the decision to early retire many years ago.

  773. good content. careful w your nose under the sun bro

  774. YouTube is promoting your videos. Good luck with your channel
    2
  775. Great advice through ur own journey. Thanks.
    2
  776. Time ain’t worth a thing if you are not doing fine. It’s the opposite, you hope that time will fly by faster. The only thing that is worth striving for is peace imo. And a huge part of it comes from being on the same side as God.
    2
  777. Do you believe in Jesus
    2
  778. Thank you JIM for your thoughts. This is one of the most valuable videos in YouTube, because automatically we’ll all be in the same position one day, and it matters how do we manage to get there. Most of our lives time we spend it waiting, hoping and working for things. And the stuff that really matters takes time to realise. So waiting is inevitable, however loving the person we become in the process is a better way of walking that road. Also we can’t love others if we don’t love ourselves first. You are right about everything. Hope more young people see this video and get the message.
    2
  779. Jesus Christ is all about time. Know Jesus Christ and realize real joy. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the father except through me." Seek Jesus and fill the void in your soul that can not be filled with anything else. Our soul does not die when we pass but it may not go to heaven. Only Jesus Christ can ensure you have a heavenly direction. Love the Lord and fill that void in your soul.
    2
  780. It was great to listen to you share. May we each make the most of the time we’ve been given without scrambling an stressing about it, but enjoying and learning

  783. Do NOT go looking for happiness, it will find you.

  784. Where did you cone from? You were sent from God , I will be 56 in 3 days, and I promise you I was thinking the same thoughts out loud. This was confirmation.
    2
  785. You look amazing dude 👍🏾
    2
  786. In my experience, you have to be discerning in how you give your time when helping others. I am hoping others can not relate to this but there are some who feign needing help in order to control you and others who will actively work to undo any help you are trying to give others. It is so strange, I know. I don't get it. But there are people out there who, to your point, do not love themselves and therefore do not want others to be fulfilled or happy too. My life lesson, just be discerning...don't just lead with the heart.
    2
  787. ​ @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  Thank you for posting this video. My mother passed away 6 years ago a few days after her 85th birthday on February 25th. Your shared thoughts meant more than you may realize and your advice something I will strive to achieve myself this year.

  789. respect, bro

  790. Turning 36 in 2 days. Thank you for your video. I feel anxious but also happy about becoming a father in a few weeks. Your message about love is really something. I love my wife like nothing else in the world. I love my dog, too. I'm anxious about if I will be enough for my coming baby. But your message is helping me to look from a different perspective. I will have another person to love, which makes my time spent even more valuable than now. If I love myself enough, I will love everyone who is important to me. Thank you.

  791. Hi Jim Like yourself I bounced around the sales world and hit a wall last year and am going through the same process, great post I look forward to seeing more 👍🏼

  794. Jesus came to save the lost and until you receive him humbly, you will never fill the hole in your heart or find real purpose for your mortal life. God bless you with the gift of faith.

  816. 30 years and and realized I had a lot of bad programming from my upbringing. Starting the journey of rewiring and becoming a better husband, friend and man
    2
  817. And the Wisest and Richest man who has ever lived sums it up in about 30 seconds. "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, For this is man's all. For God will bring every work into judgement, including every secret thing, whether good or evil." Ecclesiastes 12:13,14
    2
  818. exactly so, i heard this too and tobe honest i changed my life from there on , I was stuck in a job that was hurting my mental health and I was not leaving it. it was like the dog. but now things are changing and continue to change. as I have start practicing treating myself better.
    2
  819. Thank you for this great content Sir! I am a 36-year-old man, and I consider myself below average in terms of height and facial attractiveness. Perhaps it's presumptuous, but my goal is to marry a beautiful woman and start a family. I have worked as an insurance planner, and although I didn’t earn much money, that experience has made me want to succeed as a financial consultant. That’s why, despite my age, I have decided to become a CPA and am studying hard. However, lately, I’ve been wondering if even becoming a CPA would be enough for me to meet such a woman. When I was 26, I had relationships and occasionally had the chance to date attractive women. But now, I feel that my age and limitations are becoming more apparent, making me lose confidence and feel hopeless. The silver lining is that I am healthy, debt-free, and not experiencing hair loss. Do you have any advice for me?
    2
  820. WOW, that was just amazing, I mean the three finger thing ,vwow , that was something else, WOW, really, I'm speechless, WOW , you must be a profit
    2
  821. Hey there! Just found your channel and really like the raw talk! I’m from Germany and just turned 29 last week. Bit lost now in life cause I wanna do my own thing in e commerce but I lack in discipline. Your words helped me for sure! I will go to the gym 15th when it opens and wanna spend my last year in 20s productive and don’t wanna waste it like I did before. Grandpa also passed away in October so yes we should appreciate every day. Keep up the good work and you gained a new subscriber 🤛😊
    2
  822. @ 🙏. Absolutely agree! step by step. I told him I love you on his deathbed so I was lucky afterwards I said that days before. He lived his life and was a good example! Thanks man excited for new videos! Probably I will also start a yt channel for my journey

  823. I am pretty shocked that you didn't realize it earlier. Maybe that is an American thing, Americans tend to realize the purpose of life much later than the rest of the world. It is literally all that Jesus said. It is in every religious text, in every philosophical text. Good, that normally each 18-year-old knows that already. I am happy that you eventually realized it, late but better than never.

  824. Having the integrity to stick to your word is a rare thing these days. Good for you having the determination to do what you'll say you're gonna do. Very inspirational 🙏🏻

  825. I’m turning 43 in a couple weeks. I’ve worked at the same place for 23 years so far but it feels like my time there is nearing its end. (Cutbacks, layoffs). Funny I thought that maybe I’d be able to do what my parents and grandparents did and have one single career for life! Guess those days are over. Early on in my career I worked outside and made house calls. I met so many people getting a glimpse of how they lived, how they kept their home. I learned that when it comes down to it, beneath the facade, most people want and care about the same things. The other lesson learned; being filthy rich does not equal happiness.

  827. We all have our sad story but we are where we are because of the decisions we made. You want a different outcome, change your decisions. You need to take a long hard look at yourself.
    2
  828. “Spend your time wisely.”... "Love yourself" - Okay, how exactly do we do that? What should we spend our time on? What exactly do you do to love someone you hate? Anxiety is created when things are vague and abstract. These vague and abstract ideals create a kind of "purpose" perfectionism. People start obsessing and worrying about their time and whether they are spending it on the right thing. They beat themselves up for not loving themselves, and then beat themselves up even more for beating themselves up! Or they start seeing EVERYTHING in life as a waste of time unless they are achieving something, being productive, or helping others. But this productivity and achievement addiction is only fueling their misery. People start tying their life purpose and worth to helping others. When they are not capable of helping others, then they deem themselves as useless, worthless, failures, or that they are wasting their time. Or they begin resenting the demands of always trying to help others. This is all part of the perfectionist's trap.

  833. People feel that you are one of them and they have sympathy for that. This is why they comments. They tryna create a connection towards you. Sometimes a Music Video that is a bedroom project gets more views than a Super Hollywood style one as people feel more connected to a simple mortal than a celebrity. So I started to shoot both. And you know... It was not my dream to become a famous singer. I just wanted a normal life, but women in my country were not willing to even date with me, so I tried to find other goals in my life.

  834. good

  835. People don't usually appreciate time until they reach the age of 50!!! When you are young time go by slowly and you feel you have all the time in the world, but as you get older and the closer you get to the age of 80 that's when you realize time is getting close to the end for you!!!!
    2
  836.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  I really like how you emphasize taking ownership, as it empowers us to pursue anything we want in life. Blaming others only destroys dreams and creates consequences far greater than we ever expect.
    2
  837. We have no choice but to "waste our lives." Most of us have to work for someone to pay the bills. We do that for 40 years and then we're too sick and old to enjoy the time we have left. The end. Oh i forgot about the weekends and our big two weeks per year "vacation." 😂 And our only option here in the land of the fee and home of the slave is to live in a garbage can if you opt out. It's a wonderful life 😂
    2
  838.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  -30 years out of high school, a babies momma and two kids later has brought me to this conclusion. In reality if we're honest with ourselves our best years are long gone at this point. Now is just more of the same only it gets more difficult as we age. Just my perspective. I refer to myself as a realist but most people call me negative when i express myself.

  839. Great video I am sorry about your student thats very sad. I do practical things like buy insurance for tough times but emotionaly I don't know if I handle that stuff very well I just keep going when something bad happens because thats what your supposed to do don't have time to stop and think about being sad about it don't seem very healthy but I don't know what ells to do all the healthy minded people I know that break things down have depression.

  840. If somebody would like to become strong is sense of character - is sometimes necessery to loose almost everyhing first ... Job + friends + health ... Than - if you are " lucky " and survive "drop deep down " - there starts a possibility to become something else ... To rise on another level - to " upgrade " himself ... // The most important in life is : health + real friends + ability to do whatever you like to do the most - no matter what other people think or say ... :face-blue-smiling: To BE FREE / not tomorrow. Today. HERE + NOW.

  846. Thank you for these facts, the honesty, and the words that need to be heard. We all have stories and believe things that are not the facts which allow us to be stuck. We need to be the Buffalo and go thru the storms. It’s not easy, like you stated, but worth it. Keep these videos coming! Thank you!

  848. Bringing people to Jesus. That's why we are here. Go read Ecclesiastes in the Bible. Ecclesiastes is about how life is meaningless without GOD!

  849. Excellent video. Absolutely on point. I am just grappling with this as a new senior. Wish i would have been enlightened to this decades ago

  850. I will not drop a comment, sorry NO.

  852. The two most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you figure out why.
    2
  853. Thank you for your advice. I am much younger from you, in my mid 20s and I start to think that finding purpose in job isn't possible (unless you're a doctor, artist). There is famous saying that if you "find job you love you won't work for a day in your life". I think searching for this best job, best fit for oneself can be a waste of time. I also think that jobs in these days keep getting more complicated and confusing, mostly because of oncoming AI revolution in economies worldwide.

  854. Getting 500 views?😂😂😂😂😂
    2
  855. Yes, you are right, but in case of War, this doesn’t make much sence
    2
  856. Another solid video Jim 🤝 and even though it’s not by much, this upload with your face being the thumbnail already has acquired the most views since your “I’m going viral at 57” video so id say it’s def working 😎👍
    2
  857. It is philosophical, and yes love is something I am sticking for now, but that doesn't mean growth is not important, as for a person like me I am grabbing to love to recover and growth will come slow but will be there, and may be ill get the purpose for my life .

    2
  860. What i was chasing was ABSOLUTELY what i wanted. What i didn't know, because its totally counterintuitive, is that i could have gotten everything i wanted by doing LESS! I didn't need an MBA, i didn't need to start businesses, i didn't need to work 100 hours a week. I could have been SWIMMING in cash, and all i had to do was sit on my butt in a 40 hour a week IT job and do the bare minimum. What kinda sense does that make?!

  867. My high school carpentry teacher was awesome. Your students will reflect on these lessons on discipline someday. Cool to see you really leaning into your channel still. Keep it up!

  868. Act retired now! Take the day off and go surround yourself with nature. Watch out for snakes in the grass disguised as friends that take or consume to excess. Most importantly have children, get the cat or the dog and hug your children. Tell them you love them more than anything in this world. ♥️ My purpose isn’t monetary it’s sharing experiences with folks.

  872. Graduated Highschool, even after 40 years, did I hear that correctly? Teacher, you said at the end. That's gonna make a lasting impression on the future (generations). I had a reason for taking 8 minutes to watch your video, because everyone has some contribution. You were gonna cry when you said "right here, inside of me" why? Because through time and one's owns struggles, one learns what is valuable. Big Bear Hug Jim. Great Day always!!

  876. Being a “textbook” sigma male, I have the luxury of processing input information in my mind, thus, before I need to respond in a yes or no manner…

  877. Self discovery can be brutal, for most of us life happens early, bills, marriage, family and we don't get that opportunity to seek out your purpose in life, and we meander our way through life, with that constant burning desire to find ourselves that we after 50 years old really look back at the dots see the mistakes we made on life's road, and realize far too late we needed the road least taken and we took the road most taken IMHO 🤦🤦🙋🙋
    2
  878. The best decision I ever made was to put my trust in Jesus Christ, my Savior. I have peace knowing that one day I will be with Him forever. Unspeakable joy as He helps me navigate my trials (all things work for good for those who love Him). I have strength because when I am weak He is strong. I trust the Lord because he has never and will never fail to deliver on his promises. His Word is Truth that sets the captives free and he fills the hole that we all have inside. He renews my wings as the eagle. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
    2
  879. Really starting to like your videos and similar guys like you, speaking 100% truth. Very helpful on our journey. Btw, love the nature setting for most of your videos. Can I ask Your general location? South/ Texas ? West coast? I plan to get some land within 10 years

  893. Great Video I have shared this with my friends. Once apon a time I was really heavy and I got healthy went into the USAF. I got hurt while I was in, and I let myself go because I could not do the same things anymore. I have been working on getting healther but not doing the things I know I need to so I am just writeing to let you know to keep going because this video is very insperational.
    2
  894. The 40 years has taught you well, it brought you to this video. Nice job Jim, some people never get it , you did. It is not how we start out in life that matters, it is how we end up in the end that matters most !!
    2
  895. Worth watching video 👏🙏🏼
    2
  896. I agree with you 100%. You should look at life like a movie, and we are all the stars of our movie, and we are not only the stars of our movie, but also the writer, director, and producer. So you need to always be aware of what part are you writing for yourself? Is it fulfilling, worthwhile, exciting, compassionate ? That’s how I’ve always looked at life. And tried to live by.

  897. Mr jim, what if nobody is worth my time? What do i do? Be alone and wait for someone that is?

  904. Been watching all of your videos just discovered you a couple days ago, wise words! Are you doing a cold plunge in this video? If so id like to know your routine for it✌🏻
    2
  905. I got news for everyone....and Kobe Bryant said it best: "It ain't about you!" We were all misled to believe in individualism - everything for me, me, me! That is why we are not fulfilled. As Physicist and Consciousness Researcher, Tom Campbell said, we are part of the Larger Consciousness System (LCS). Our job is to raise the quality of our consciousness so that the LCS can collectively raise its level of consciousness. Pull up Tom Campbell's "My Big TOE" (Theory of Everything) to learn indepth of how he arrived at this conclusion.

  906. The only video I finish watching without skipping one second.

  907. Exactly, thanks, time and love is everything...

  908. Your 100 percent right on ! Ive had to fight back all my life with basically no Support System from family members, and Trust me there is nothing worse or Harder than that !! In addition to losing my Real Mother at a few years old , and being stuck with a Unsupportive Father and unsupportive step mother was never easy !!! But, like you i told myself every day i would rise above all of them and thier Negativity one day !! and That Determination is what's kept me going all my life and Im doing pretty well for myself now !!! I Appreciate your helpful and inspiring videos too !!

  909. Wow. What a valuable video. Wise words my friend. Subscribed and liked 👍

  910. Jim, I just this video and I have not see Frankie 2's video, you have inspired me to start this challenge. I started my channel at end of December. It has been slow but fun and I, just like you am trying to script less and just talk. I'll be watching your jouney!

  916. Beautiful message! Have a wonderful day!
    2
  917. Fellow "girl dad" and default Swifty - thanks for your content and I am glad I stumbled across your channel. I think I also, generally, ignore or dismiss critics, but the hardest one is my inner critic, which I find interesting. I try to ignore, but I find myself trying to correct that inner one and prove it wrong. I'm not saying that it's right or good for me, but definitely one of my battles. Thanks again!
    2
  918. I at 48 live by the words of Jesus Christ! My God and my Saviour! Jesus once said! : I will set you FREE!: must admit it took me years to understand. Free from what? Free from the rat race of this crazy life! Free from being sad and overthinking for eventually Nothing! Free from worry about Death itself! Most people I watch and see have got the wealth to live 10 more LIVES and they still keep building their Sand Castles!! If we are just passers by on this land and Jesus has ACCOMPLISHED ALL for us to cross over to Eternity then so it is and let it be! Who wants to live in this stupid world anyway! Faith is The Key! For those who haven't got Faith ask The Father for it as it is the Only Prayer that must ALWAYS be delivered! God bless all :)
    2
  919. Have a good day! 👍🏻

  920. That’s tough. Cancer so young. I’m glad to hear your thriving. We’ve just come through our third cancer - my husband. Just so thankful to be on the other side and have him with me. Praise God. Sending love to you ❤
    2
  921. If you listen to people who have near death experiences, they all say it’s about love, helping others, and growing to become a good person. Pretty much in line with what this video is about.
    2
  922. I'm 44 and ever so often, thoughts of "not being good enough" creep into my mind. When that happens, I have found it useful to shift my thoughts to "what can I do today to make it a little better", focusing on progress, rather than perfection. Picture this, you are in a basketball game and you are down 20 points at half time. You could either A) think about how badly your team played in the first half or B) focus on scoring the next point with a goal to win the second half. Which approach do you think produces a better outcome?
    2
  923. Appreciate you!
    2
  924. Jim … SO appreciate the content of your video - value your openness. Gratitude, Cléone

  925. Oh you nailed it brother, where did the time go, im 57 now and the last 30 years went by so fast like the blink of an eye, ik a carer now for my 85 year old mother, Ireland use to be such a vibrant little country now its a strange place.
    2
  926. How a great to watch like these videos and reading comments at the same time. I learnt so much today❤
    2
  927. I found the video helpful! even very much. But unfortunately your comment is very nonsensical.
    2
  928. I spent my childhood day dreaming. I spent my teens in fear of the nightmare unknown. I spent my twenties on selfish decadent behaviors that ended up in sorrow and pain. In my thirties i decided to be married and have children. I unfortunately distracted myself with the lessons I didn't learn in my twenties. At 40 I felt like I was finally starting to find my purpose. Im 44 now. I have 10 children and hope to have more. My wife is the adult in my life now besides myself and God. I give myself to her and my children and the more I let go of myself and attach my effort to them, the happier I am. Charity is the pure love of Christ. Time spent on giving of myself to God and family is the happiest time.
    2
  929. @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  Im grateful for it. I liked your message and I'll subscribe and tune in for more.
    2
  930. Thx man. Today i saw a frowning bartender. Clearly he was a having a bad day. When he finally came to attend me, i paused a bit, and then i smile. The bartender smiled back. I felt good and satisfied. I hope i can do this everyday and make someone’s day! 😊
    2
  931. At 38 yo, I agree with the "loving one self" part, however, growing up in a war torn environment will leave little to nothing within a person to realize loving self is something one should pursue. Thank you for sharing Jim.
    2
  932. Turning 29 this year. I've been a dad now for a little over a year and just in the past day have been called back into contemplation of life. This video provides more synchronicity that time is my most valuable asset. Not the future time, but the present moment.
    2
  933. GO GO GO!! FOR ANOTHER 40 MORE!!! NICE VIDEO MATE!!!!!
    2
  934. Read video! Two things. What chemicals did you sell? And what subject do you teach now? I subscribed. I like the authenticity.
    2
  935.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  I used to sell industrial chemicals. Now I'm a maple farmer and I love it! Looking at teaching myself. I would like to teach business to college students. Not enough time is spent teaching people how to own and operate a business.....just to teach people how to work for someone else.
    2
  936. Thanks for this. Great perspective
    2
  937. Yeah, I focused on being the best in my field and for years focused on my goals like I had a drill Sargent in my head pushing me. I managed to do things that I Never thought possible but it would turn out that I was only "chasing the carrot" like a donkey. I tried everything and anything to get ahead and I only got further behind. We are told to work hard and our dreams will come true (the carrot) and those who were smart enough to see that are the ones that got ahead. Focus on yourself, your own financial situation, and resist trying to get ahead by working 24/7 (you won't have time to focus on your own problems) and you wake up one day and realize that you put 30 years of your life into working and have nothing to show for it. Live Each Day, and see at the end of the Day where you are headed. It's a lot easier to correct the path you're on .
    2
  938. A good man
    2
  939. Love it . Good one mate. Put god first and love will spread smooth around
    2
  940. thank you!
    2
  941. You mentioned it took you a long time, and I see that it's already taken me about four years to get some wheels turning. But how do you reach that point where you no longer have to struggle with yourself? As a father of five daughters, I understand that building discipline is one thing, but managing over-expectation is another.
    2
  942. I’m 72 and trying to figure out what I can do for income..when I can’t stand behind the chair cutting hair anymore? Another thing I don’t watch the news anymore it isn’t real journalism, it is opinion’s not fact. Fact check everything!
    2
  943. I think you are talking to individuals only, this talk is not for individuals with partners and children, please make distinction. What you say works for individuals only, other than that it just doesn't work because people with partners and children are governed with responsibilities beyond themselves and have too on there plate, little there is to make big changes, thus life is non changing. I've been married, single again. What you say works for me well now, but never worked when I was married, just couldn't have the mental capacity to think and had very little savings plus no freedom to do things...
    2
  944. 40 years is very impactful!
    2
  945. Sniff-ari. 😂 Congratulations on sharing your voice, your heart & your wisdom. I would say you are a born teacher.
    2
  946. The thing is these simple things they'll be able to understand only in 40 years
    2
  947. I respect you Jim but for some of us, like 20 plus year tradesmen, our trade is our life. My job is who I am and honestly, it's one of the most rewarding things about my life because I can help others. I'm very good at it. I wish everyone could find their thing at 18 years old and stick with it. It's not easy but it is good.
    2
  948. For some people this is doable but our modern society and the way of life aka comfort made us weak and sometimes life hits so hard without your knowlege that one day you wake up and youre trapped inside a cage were you cannot get out by yourselfe anymore.
    2
  949. Always a pleasure learning more about life from YOU
    2
  950. Three great words! You are so right! I think our purpose is to love one another . Not to hate just because some people look or act different, hell we might be able to learn something! Yes the world is very scary right now! My family Mother, father and both brothers have passed on I pray to them watch over us in these crazy times! ❤
    2
  951. Thank you and I really appreciated this talk from you

  952. I can't think of his name now but one of Youtubes very first, original stars was an 80 years old from England. but yes, its a good repository for what we can call 'Memoirs'.

  953. How to deal with the office critique? If management says, you are talking like child, you don’t have leadership skills etc.

  956. Men are built by nature to wake up each day and learn skills, apply skills and take responsibility. Any man just sitting around shooting the breeze is not living. Doing something constructive every day is happiness. It can be anything you want….in the end it all turns to dust anyway…the point is just be doing something and do it well. As for women, they are entirely different but want men to bend to their ways….which is why so many relationships are a disaster.

  964. Hi Jim, I appreciate what you are saying and often reflect on my 73 years on Earth. In my opinion, the best way to deal with many life issues is to take stock of the person you have become. It's a great video. Thanks for sharing.

  965. Now the day of the 24 inches I wasn’t prepared. We were only supposed to get 3 inches. I had a dachshund at the time and thinking what am I going to do? I pick him up walked to a tree and stomped around it and said go ! And he did! lol

  967. 41. No debt and have some money saved. Own my home. Yet the money i have is not enough to last me for retirement. I am totally lost as to what to do with my life. Never married, no kids. Never wanted kids so most relati9nships ended cos of that and the marriage laws in current times make me not want to risk a marriage and lose what i have. I dont know what to do with my life going forward. Need to make money to retire but dont want to go back to my soul suckong corporate job.

  970. Im 19, from Switzerland and im finishing my apprantice as sparky(electrician). Really overwhelming feeling thinking about my future, knowing i havent found passion in said Work. Its exciting to have it all infront of me but its also very draining and unclear what the future will bring. What ive learned for now is that i will be really thoughtful about the way i go about my next steps. Really want to find a way to live life that i can enjoy rather then chase. Thanks for the vid👍

  974. Watching from a completely different part of the world (Pakistan to be exact). Thanks for uploading this, this was exactly what I needed to hear at this point in my life. I'm 25 and sometimes it seems like time is passing away so fast and that I haven't really accomplished anything, I might fail but I'm still moving with all I have.

  979. Just found your channel. Thank you! Was wondering if you could share how you deal with fear, anxiety. Also could you think about doing a video on your fitness routine. Thanks again!

  980. I appreciate you sir thanks 😊
    2
  981. What if I don't know what to do or what goals to pursue because my life feels like a mess? I'm in my early 30s, and the goals I once had were left unmet. I failed, gave up, and even my closest circle didn't support me back then. That’s why I’m unsure whether that goal is still worth pursuing or if I should set a new one that makes more sense for my future. I just feel lost.

  982. great! Goodluck with learning English!

  983. Appreciate the wise words it was great to hear that perspective. Keep me and you.

  984. All great points Jim, keep these uploads coming! And maybe use screen shots of your face from the video for the thumbnail. I think it will give you a slighter better chance to continue having your vids pushed by the algorithm! Your most viral video right now has that raw appeal with the thumbnail 🤝😎

  987.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  My goal is to live to 105, a month, and a day! There HAS to be a punchline there! You will reach your goals, and more, as you help others. No better reward, my new friend!

  988. Thanks Jim, 42 turning 43. Still figuring it out. Currently in a job I never liked and trying my best to transition out. All I really want is to help others. It took awhile but finally got the guts to go back to school and it feels great! I actually look forward to it! As a poor kid it's really hard for me not to think about money but I am realizing that the pursuit of it is slowly killing me. Thanks for sharing how you had many jobs. It's making me not feel so bad about myself. Thanks again. This video will be a reminder of what's important

  991. Who would prefer that ? Nobody. I'm just wondering how Jim was running with the extra weight, as far as his knees. That would be alot of added stress there.

  1001. It's interesting that I too finished High School about 40 years ago. I keep thinking about how much lost time slipped by me. Till I got saved about 7 years ago. The big part of the whole equation is where are you going to spend eternity? Just like you lived out your life by choice in similar, but in a more profound manner your eternity is 100% your choice. People often brush me off as religious but we must understand that religion is just a varied arrangement of man made philosophy and tradition. Religion is grounded in false beliefs with dash of truth for flavor. I'm referring to the ultimate truth here. The truth that Christ is letting you live right now largely because patiently he is waiting for you to believe that he died on the cross for your sins according to the scriptures, was buried and rose again the third day so that you can receive the free gift of eternal life. Talk about not wasting any time. Your eternity is forever and you should seriously consider how you would like to spend that time. Either in eternal condemnation and fire or eternal peace, love and joy? No need to go to a church building all dressed up or donate anyone any money to qualify for salvation, there's nothing like that in the 1611 King James Version of the Holy Scriptures. This is not some phoney religious scam it's about you having a personal and eternal intimate relationship with the Creator of the universe, the one God who came as a humble man and shed his blood so you can have your sins eternally forgiven. If you believe this without reservation or exception. Then ask him to save you. That is THE most important decision of your life beyond a shadow of a doubt. Romans 10:9-13 King James Version 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved
    2
  1002. @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  Nice to hear an appreciative response. Jim, time is precious. I started reading the scriptures in about 2008. I self declared myself as a "Christian" in 2009. I figured that's what it took. Talk about wasting time because that was a false conversion. My life didnt really change until I truly got born again in early 2019. Jim make sure if you really want to spend the eternity of time in joy and never having regrets ultimately that your conversion is true. Most conversions are false, usually based on good works, Calvinist predestination, the charismatic movement and whole host of false beliefs. A true believer fights with sin and is not comfortable with sin, it vexes him and he perpetually seeks to weed it out of his life, often seeking help from the Lord to do so The other acid test is that do you know beyond a shadow of a doubt where you are going after you die regardless of whatever may happen. So you should be at war with sin and at peace knowing God has reserved a mansion for you in his house for eternity. Read this one over carefully, You should be fully confident in what verse 13 says; 1 John 5 KJV 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God;*** that ye may know that ye have eternal life,*** and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him

  1003. I want to travel ❤

  1004. Didn't mind listening all the way through cause Im almost there too, also with similar feelings of mediocritry (perhaps when I shouldn't). We have made it this far in what seems like our "1st world country" doing all those nonsense jobs. And later most of our time as a mature adult is spent surviving and maintaining our current lifestyle understandably. If, somehow, you were able to make in roads to self -improvement and self-realization during the struggle to make a living, then you truly are special! So get back to work! As for the rest of us, we continue to chew on Jim's platitudes....

  1005. I found a career that I had a passion for and stayed with it for 40 years. That provided me with a pension that allows me to have a lot of free time in my mid 60's.

  1011. Love the video!, it makes me realize how hard i been trying to find myself without any success, because i been looking in my mind and not my heart I guess?, thanks anyways ✌️✨
    2
  1012. You’re a good man. Time is all that matters. It’s just takes most people most of there life to realize it. We worry about insignificant things instead of what really matters. Love and happiness. The precious present moment. I can’t believe I’m turning 40 this year, lol. A wise man once told me, “There is no right time, just do it now”. I didn’t get it then when I was in my twenties but now I get it. We can plan all we want but life will happen, good or bad. Enjoy every single moment. God bless you.

  1013. I am 42 year old. Single mother. No job ,no icome . I don't worry for myself but i do worry for my little girl. And we live in country that under coup . I don't know how to work things out but pray and have faith in God.

  1017. Just ask yourself how many Summers you have left. It hit me when I really thought about it

  1018. Thanks Jim. Time is really the greatest luxury we have. It goes so quickly and we should choose wisely how we spend it. Wise words!!

  1019. Your new subscriber... I'm in my early 30's and really needed some advises by a wise man like you...

  1022. There is a reason preflight instruction in the event of cabin depressurization is the put the oxygen mask on yourself first. You must take care of yourself first! Of course, had I known this, I would have to think long and hard as to whether I’d put the oxygen mask on my ex-wife - just sayin!!!

  1023. The concept of chasing your dream is pushed by Western media and movies. It is all rubbish, you can live socially if you do the work you get with sincerety and gain experience. Live a fulfulling life and dreams will get accomplished by themselves.

  1030. You're welcome! I'm in my early 20s, and I'm eager to learn valuable lessons from older people. You're providing a wonderful opportunity for me to do so, and it's an honor to be here on your channel. Just don't forget me whenever you become a star😊. GOD bless you.

  1034. Very succinct and a very intersting view on life ................ 11
    2
  1035. When I was 18 I was floundering. No ambition. Just wanted to party and mourn since my best friend died in a car accident. I left my comfort zone, moved to a new city and went back to school. It was a very lonely time. I couldn't get a gf and felt invisible. At some point I started to enjoy solitude. Got straight A's and got into doing art. Now at age 49 I'm convinced that was my spiritual awakening. I knew I wanted to be an artist, and here I am. Thriving in solitude is a superpower. Good stuff Jim looking forward to more.
    2
  1036. Thank you Jim!! In a time where I’m in search of that significance you speak of, your video gives me sort of a solace and knowingness that I’m on the right path, even though I’ve not arrived yet. Keep speaking!!!

  1039. @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  now that makes sense! Even tho technically, it's not carpentry related video. Your video filled me with optimism and reset the narrative of my story. I'm certainly headed back to the drawing board.. Thanks again, sir.

  1040. The "big man" that you are referring to is Jesus Christ! That's true identity!❤

  1041. 👍😄

  1042. Hi Jim, how do you determine when to say yes or no? Do you listen to your instincts? Or are you more rational about it
    2
  1043. I often times have to say no to new clients so that I don’t have to fire them later. A no today prevents a disaster later.

  1044. Heck yeah my man, I needed to hear this. The subtle look of certainty on your face, as you say the things you say, makes me know its from the heart.

    2
  1053. Beautiful place

  1054. Enjoyed your talk about time being the most precious commodity. I believe it, but I think the Lord wanted me to stop and listen to what you had to say to remind me of that

  1055. Good and bad things happen , we always try to live happy though . But we shouldn’t regret our past .watch the life don’t be it , then only we l be happy . Isnt it
    2
  1056. And yesterday, I ordered a camera worth half of my salary which is 45k, almost 150 dollars, but the guy took my money and then blocked me completely. Now feeling overwhelmed as how long will I have to wait to save that much money again and then buy another camera and start working on my dream. A week ago, I was given 20k prize by my school for my services but it's gone. I am feeling shattered 😮

  1066. Jim, I remember the exact same thing back in the late 80’s! I remover thinking I’ll be 30 in the year 2000… I’ll be old. The days and weeks are slow but the years and decades go fast.

  1067. Judging by his Bible Study Voice, thought this was going to devolve into a Jesus Pitch

  1068. If you received your life wages at 18yrs old You could retire there & then!
    2
  1069. Thank you for this insight! Yes, working on a long-term goal that is out of my skill, ability, and comfort zone, but it’s what I want to achieve. I’m going to work hard to complete. Thank you for the motivation to keep going!
    2
  1070. Oh My god Jim.. where to start ? I am currently in a nasty divorce, thank God I don't have any child with that man but I feel like he owes me 7 years of my life, I know I am still young(I'll be 30 in 4 months) but still I am resentful and living a sad period. I hope it'll all work out.
    2
  1071. You are extremely young. I’m 63 and still feel young, so plenty of time to do a million things with others.
    2
  1072. A lot people don’t ’ love themselves’..it’s easy to say but to do it is harder..Esp if there is trauma. It’s best to go deep, resolve that trauma and only then after healing can we truly love ourselves. We won’t need anyone or anything else after that🎉

  1075. Like your videos. I am guessing you are around 70 and your advice is spot on. Time and health is what it will all come down to. So hard to keep those two in front of everything as the day is thrown at you. Good luck to you in your journey!

  1076. amazing

  1077. Your content is inspiring, your shared life experiences are much appreciated, and the challenges you set out for us to consider—later in this life journey—are helping us to stretch ourselves which is what we need. Very good points you stated. I’m working on another type of goal—will be awhile, will report when done. Thank you so much!

  1085. Wow! 🎉 Congrats
    2
  1086. Thank you. I am the same age(58) and at the same point. I have decided to retire to a different life experience. I have served my country for 20 years and given corporate America another 26 years. Hopefully I am able to be at peace with this decision. I am a little saddened by the time I wasted along the way. Because of my faith I know better days are ahead. Again thank you for being so candid and thought provoking..
    2
  1087. Definitely try to enjoy every moment. Go to visit different countries and places if you want to add the feeling of time to your life. Seeing new things adds new memories creating the feeling of time. I would also say stay in shape. Nothing worse than old, ugly and fat 😂😂

  1089. You come up to high school graduation. It is the first time for most people to understand that now no one will make them go to school, do home chores, get up at a certain time, or drive them every where. Scary. So most people turn away from making choices or give that power to some one else or an institution. One of my goals was to celebrate my 30th birthday in Kabul, Afghanistan. I did that on my 31st birthday in 1977. I walked in from Iran with my late wife. We started walking the Khyber Pass to Pakistan the next day. One day, I was up at 10,000 feet with a friend near the High Sierra trail from Mexico to Canada. I asked if he wanted to see two of the toughest people in the world. I pointed to two boys walking the trail. On my home office wall, there are no plaques or medals, only a charcoal drawing of a cowboy scenes - round up and calf branding. A great drawing. The message is hidden. The artist was a quadriplegic who held the charcoal between his teeth. Guys and gals - what you do is up to you.

  1093. Social media definitely has effects on ones mentality.. Its been a source of a lot of envy and make someone self pity.

  1094. If you're up for it, I would appreciate a little direction in this. I'm still young, but that'll be a waste if I don't start making better decisions, myself.

  1108. Life is meaningless and you get to make whatever meaning you want out of your life. I truly love myself because there is no other person who lived the life I have lived and no one else can tell my stories, but me. I always try to see the best in others even if they don't see it themselves.

  1109. Hi Jim! I really enjoyed your video—it was a great watch, and I appreciate you sharing your perspective on self-respect and inner happiness. I’m a bit younger than you, but I’ve been struggling with something similar. I used to be quite assertive, sometimes too much, and I ended up hurting people. As a result, I’ve become very passive, almost to the point where I feel stuck in a crisis I can’t seem to get out of. I’m caught between these two extremes—if I try to be more assertive and practice setting boundaries, people think I’m rude or disrespectful. That’s been a real challenge for me. The thing is, I have a lot of self-love, I’m confident, and I genuinely respect others. I’m polite, but I’m not weak. Unfortunately, many people seem to mistake kindness for weakness, which makes navigating this balance even harder. Thanks again for the video—it was really insightful!

  1110. When you love Jesus you can completely give the love of the Holy Spirit to others. It's a powerful thing, that only God can give. John 3:16. Jesus died for us as the ultimate sacrifice.

  1111. Always knew this, time is the most valuable thing you “own”.. money comes and goes but time.. that just never comes back.
    2
  1112. This echoes the timeless wisdom of the Mahabharata, reminding us that true fulfillment is found in pursuing our dharma rather than chasing fleeting worldly rewards. The insights on time, purpose, and self-respect resonate with Krishna’s guidance to Arjuna, urging us to act with duty and clarity in the face of life's challenges.

  1113. I just turn 47 and though about the same stuff lately. It went by so fast. Our dreams fade away little by little. Maybe they don’t matter anymore . But time suddently became more precious.

  1114. Thanks for sharing!

  1115. Hi Jim, thanks for sharing. I totally get it, I feel the same, but I'd add one big thing... Jesus in our hearts. Put Him ahead, and your heart will beat stronger ❤️‍🔥✝️

  1118. Im 42 almost 43 and I have learned dont try to be liked. It took a long time to learn to be myself, no ego, no pretense, say what I felt even if its not the thing people expect of you. Think of others, and most importantly let things and people go, life is a lot of loss you cant hold on to those who dont want to give you the time of day.

  1119. Thank You for Sharing! 🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️ Have a Blessed Day!

  1120. Through his 40-year journey, the speaker demonstrated that true success comes from self-love and self-discovery, not merely from external achievements. His story of bouncing between various careers and seeking life purpose has inspired me to realize that happiness comes from within. I wholeheartedly wish that everyone feeling lost soon discovers their true worth and finds a path to joy, confidence, and lasting success!

  1122. I’m fortunate enough to be able to read & listen to a lot of podcasts, books etc most days on nutrition & health! & the majority of experts agree that we should be eating more plant based. Vegetables, fruit, lentils, beans etc… 90% of meals I cook , quit alcohol, soft drinks,minimal processed foods. Also focus on 7-8 sleep 😴, daily movement/ exercise 😊 some podcasts I recommend! Feel better, live more Dr Rangan Chatterjee The Proof, Simon Hill The Rich Roll podcast Plant strong Rip Esselstyn Chris beat cancer

  1123. Time aside but Learning what is important to you is the key peeps. At age 45 to retirement there should be less than 5-8 things that really matter to you. Once you retire there should be less than 5 things that should really matter to you. Once you focus your energies in this, this man’s speech will make more sense meaning you will be able to apply what he is saying.

  1132. The key to happiness is balance. Is it easy no, is it achievable yes. We’re living in a society that gives us so much stress, responsibility to pay your mortgage, taking care of your children, paying off your debts (car,house….), instead of living you are lived. And when all your problems are solved you are old, tired and maybe even have bad health. The problem is this vicious circle begins again with your children. You need to get out of this Matrix to feel true happiness.

  1133. I’m into self love! Nice video
    2
  1134. Thank you, Jim! This video is truly inspiring! I'm thrilled to share my key takeaways from this video: it's never too late for anything in life, happiness is within us, and we need to change our outlook on life. We have to make the most of the time we have left. With a shift in mindset, we can achieve anything! Greetings from Ankara, Turkiye.

  1137. My dear brother, These words are one hundred percent correct. You have discovered the reality of materialistic world. But what our soul is looking for is needs to be discovered. Can I suggest a book called Philosophy of the teaching of Islam by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Please don't take this comment ordinary. Peace and blessings

  1138. Failing Forward is the key! If you learn from the mistakes and make corrections accordingly, you are failing forward to achievement of your goal(s). Failing backward is bad if you do not make course corrections to failing forward to your absolute goal(s).

  1148. OOO i wish i had heard this before, yes thats harsh but thats the reality, No One is coming. I also say this now, that You are the one who is going to walk that door no one else will walk with you, people may push you or give you hope but you have to unlock it and walk and face whatever comes through that door.

  1152. Beautiful message Jim. Thank you!

  1153. Would be a better place, but it isn't.
    2
  1154. It's a good message, but it's too much to expect an 18-year-old person to take it to heart. They need to live another 40 years to understand your advice ironically.
    2
  1155. How did you tap into it?
    2
  1156. WOW...every word you spoke has been my life.! At 62 yrs old , You are 100% correct in everything you said!...I tell my step son who I raised since 9 yrs old & he's now 25 ..TIME is the most important element of your life. It goes so fast & as someone who's built a lot of wealth after a lot of trial & error , you can't buy it no matter how much money you have. making another persons day better far exceeds money ...Thank you my friend
    2
  1157. So powerful bro. My girlfriend left me, in the meantime I've been broke and now I've just started becoming a new me using that to strengthen me and I'm pushing forward. ever give up, never surrender. God have a plan for all of us, signs don't lie 🙏🏻
    2
  1158. I agree with everything except I don’t think the majority of people feel that way. Unfortunately most people only care about themselves and what they can get out of any given situation.
    2
  1159. How to avoid/practice not criticizing myself? Its really hard to be perfectionist and its hard to stay happy when everything is not yet perfect. I feel like im always waiting for the perfect time. But i think perfection doesnt really exist.
    2
  1160. Most people are chasing paying their bills and that is exactly what they are looking for because it's all they can see. People are like those horses with blinders because the burden of costs and taxes rising. They just try to put up with everything else in the meantime. That's most people.

  1170. Hello! It's a pleasure to be able to see and hear from you again. "Thank you!" for continuing to attempt to make this world a better place in which to live (by sharing your thoughts, feelings, and perceptions of your life experiences). We are so fortunate to have each other to "lean on" (Thank you Mr. Withers!)! Wishing for you, yours, and all; enduring: wellness, security, and happiness! Take care and enjoy!

  1173. Seems you did most things right. Imagine you had not left your comfortzone to find out what's you purpose in life, instead stayed and never left your home for 10 oder 20 years or whoever the comfortzone is...then you cannot make mistakes to thrive and find out what's not working for you, what is noch you purpose. You can fail a hundred thousand times in life and know one hundred thousand ways which may not work for you, which is amost hundred thousand times better that never tried, never did, never failed, never found out...and also...never lived. I would says...many people would envy what you experienced and thrived. Do you know the last words of most people on their deathbed? It's something like, i wished i had loved more, i wish i had tried this or did that, wish i had more courage to live my life etc.
    2
  1174. If God loves us, we should do the same.
    2
  1175. That was a great video! Thank you!! I struggle with how to get past the fear of asking questions. In my mind, the worry of what someone will think of my question keeps me quiet. Writing this is uncomfortable. What can be done to help get out of that mindset?
    2
  1176.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  I didn’t think of it as benefiting everyone, just the fear of asking kept me stuck. Thank you for that insight. So many years of letting the made up fear block me. Time to turn the page and take small steps forward. My question may lead to another from someone else which may benefit everyone again. That’s powerful. I took a screenshot of your reply so I have it handy, when that dread sets in, I’ll have reinforcement. Thank you for your feedback. It is appreciated!
    2
  1177. Jim, I just wanted to thank you for this video. There's a lot of wisdom in it, and what you say truly makes sense. It definitely opens eyes to many things. Greetings!
    2
  1178. Hello Jim , you did good, you are loved. You dont know yet some answers to your questions. Confucius said: "We have two lives, the second one begins when we realise we only have one. " I believe this is the answer to your question. Am I right? Regards. Daniel
    2
  1179. Jim, just to share some insights in your words of wisdom, I share my motto, "A Smart Man learns from his mistakes in Life, whereas a Wise Man learns from the mistakes of others." Enough said!

  1183. Feeling this a lot in the last year, sometimes I feel like I don't deserve success. I look at others lives and try not to compare but geez I know I do.
    2
  1184. I’m right there with you brother! Almost at my 40 year class reunion and don’t know where the time went. Well I do and I don’t think I wasted too much of it. I wish I probably had not had as much alcohol as I did, but I was living large and at that time I was living!Thanks for a great video. I think I’ll get my 16-year-old son to watch it.

  1185. Great talk
    2
  1186. Questioning everything is impossible. It is just silly idea. Because you don't have enough time and resources to do that. Questioning everything doesn't make you smarter than others. It just makes you more skeptical. If you can find provable answers, then yes, this makes you smarter than others. Questioning is just a zero point from where you start. In reality we must accept what others have found before us. They often paid the highest price for that knowledge.
    2
  1187.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  In that sense I agree, that we all have responsibilty to find the truth. It is one of the lifes meaning. It also requires a humility to admit that maybe you have been wrong the whole time. Most people don't wanna do it.
    2
  1188. But still, what is your purpose? I have been struggling with that for a while. I have always tried to do right. I have really tried to get others on the right trac these last few years. Somehow, I have got in financial distress in the last 4 years or so and that makes it all worse. I still help others even more.
    2
  1189. @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  thank u sir even though I'm a teacher i teach 100s of students a week but when relapse, i become my worst enemy
    2
  1190. Caffeine!! We are capable of adapting and adjusting our habits. I used to eat fast food a few times a week, drink alcohol and zyn nicotine pouches. My life revolved around vices and I was miserable. I have now quit all of them except caffeine but because I was able to stop the others I know it’s possible when I am ready. Our minds are powerful things and with the combination of surrounding yourself with healthy people you can do anything!
    2
  1191. My mate says, "love is the answer". She is correct!
    2
  1192. "That's a pessimistic and shallow way to look at life. The impact we have isn't just about being remembered—it's about how we shape the world, the values we pass down, and the lives we touch. Even if your name fades, your influence remains. By this logic, why do anything at all if it will be 'forgotten'? Should parents not raise children with love? Should artists not create? Should scientists not innovate? This mindset is the kind that leads to a meaningless existence rather than a fulfilling one. If you think nothing matters after two generations, maybe you're the one who's failing to leave a lasting impact. Thoughts?"
    2
  1193. Aside from more Love, the world will be much better when there is much more: ACCOUNTABILITY: Certain leaders , politicians and all positions of authority held publicly accountable for all crimes. When this doesn't happen, people grow desensitized, confused, depressed, resentful and uncaring. More PATIENCE More GIVING & COMPASSIONATE and less focus on receiving.
    2
  1194.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  Sure. I have noticed over the years that many people's bad attitudes, outlooks or views of other people and life in general stem directly/indirectly from all the bad, criminal/unethical things our (so-called) authority figures and (Leaders) do without any perceived consequences/punishment. Consequently, this very important consideration shapes belief systems & attitudes that NOTHING MATTERS, LIFE IS NOT FAIR, THEY CAN COMMIT CRIMES W/O PUNISHMENT, BUT I CAN'T.... ultimately having an enormous impact on how some individuals show lesser respect or compassion for others. You change this dilemma, and we would have a much better world, improved attitudes and much more respect for others circulating world-wide.
    2
  1195.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives  I'm just glad I found your YouTube channel 🙂👍
    2
  1196. I feel for you man, your life honestly sounded so rough. All those jobs you mentioned, idk how anyone could be happy or live a life of purpose and impact. Unless there’s some major perks of the job like the ability to live anywhere you choose. And actually have a decent salary with a sense of job security. It’s tough being in a position where you’ve gotta compete with everyone and their brother on a personal level to get any form of leverage in the job market. You wanna put yourself in a position where you can literally say fine, find someone else. Not live some life of fear where you can’t even come home to your wife at night and act like everything is okay.

  1197. I am 63 and I m going to retire in tour months and I want to follow your advices

  1198. Thank you for making this video.
    2
  1199. I can relate to this true story. Back in 2014 I lived on a family owned piece of property in a travel trailer. I had a Generator solar panels and air conditioner. First 2 years was great. Then my health started get bad. The third year was a literal hell. Family members showed up when I was almost dead. The generator quit the no air conditioning in August equals. Dehydration. I started having seizures. I had to crawl to the road 400 feet. They took me to the hospital. It took me 6 months to recover. Only then did my family begin to realize the seriousness of my situation. So I'm predominantly and very self. Sufficient, very independent and I am happy that way. However, I do not alienate myself from my family. And 1 or 2 friends I might have.❤
    2
  1200. Yes so true sir wise words may God bless you stay Blessed
    2
  1201.  @Jim_Burrows_Thrives so what is the purpose of existing?
    2
  1202. Im assuming most that watch this video are 40+. I was in a huge rut for 10-11yrs. Until a few months ago I found out my Testosterone level was 292. Doc gave me a script for 150ml of test per week. Crazy how much energy and my mood went to straight positive at end of the 2nd week. Started working out again and lost 19lbs in 3 weeks. For you guys out there struggling I encourage you took check it out. Just order a blood test and take it from there. I promise you'll feel best youve ever felt.
    2
  1203. Thanks pal appreciate it. Would be really nice not to hear about subscribtion in the end. It really doesn't fit in with those honest words.
    2
  1204. Subscribed I am currently working as a lawyer for 6 years, but not quite feeling it deep inside. I know what's wrong but i'm still 'avoiding' it and have hard time breaking through it. Would love to know what happens next though Cheers
    2
  1205. I think if 40 years "flew by" you didn't waste it... And you gained a lot of wisdom... Think of someone sitting in prison.... Time CRAWLS... When it's being wasted... For the most part I think...
    2
  1206. I learnt the hard way If I'm not saying he'll yes! I'm answering fuck no. And if u need an answer right now or pressure me it's an instant no.

  1207. Nice!! It’s fun sharing what we have learned over the years with those who have the ears to listen and the capacity to assimilate some of it! I’m doing what you do as well. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions 👍

  1214. brother im 29 Can you tell what more time i should spend on؟
    2
  1215. A few weeks ago I had a mini stroke...a TIA they call it. Realizing my own mortality at 51, I went thru a quick analysis of who, exactly, would care if I died. After the usual mom, dad, brothers and other family members, I came to the realization that memories of me would die when they died...whenever that happens. After that? Absolutely nobody would remember me. Friends you say? Same thing...their memories of me end with them too. The living remember artists, presidents, and folk heroes...I'm just a guy. Bottomline? Be good. Being good prevents suffering....be it your own or your family's. Help whoever you can with what you can. Be simple. Be at peace.
    2
  1216. Great introspective video, Jim and a great reminder to value time more.
    2
  1217. Thats true mate. Thank you very much for your opinion. I do want to reach all those "low" achievements to be free of them.... in order to set myself free i do need to reach them first. God and love is what everybody is looking for!!!!

  1218. Good message Jim. Subbed. I will be 57 in March and time flies. Time is the most precious resource. You are correct.

  1222. Covid and the government literally robbed us of 4 solid years.
    2
  1223. Jim, first I read some cynical comments down below by people who complain that shortly after they die they won't be remembered -- but so what! That's their ego speaking and perhaps their justification to live a totally self-centered life. THE reason to make your life count while you're taking up space on the planet is so that you make a difference for others. Whether or not we have family if we pay attention to our surroundings and get off our phones it's easy to identify folks who could use our help. I purposely moved to the Old Town section of a western city so that I can be surrounded by lots of people, many of them students in this university town, a few of them homeless. Every day I go out there's someone I can "gift" with company or (as yesterday) a chocolate cookie from a bakery (the best), or a book on fly fishing for a 20-year old guy who works in the coffee shop I frequent. I have no family so I decided to make the 20 young employees of the coffee shop I go to my adopted surrogate grandchildren -- I gift them with all kinds of goodies and I find it very rewarding -- meaning and purchase! I know how to create it. And in the 50 years I lived in Manhattan I found all kinds of ways to make a difference for not just the folks in my apartment building (I'd invite them in for holiday parties) but I also cleaned my entire block. It's not so that I'll be remembered but so that I could be sure that I made a difference for others in my time on the planet.
    2
  1224. Wish I had enough money and resources in this world to be able to not "waste it". These days, depending on the circumstance, "purpose" comes between survival, if you're lucky. I completely agree with your take on self respect, and what youre saying is true. Unfortunately, the nature of things makes that important expression and connection more difficult than ever. Thank you for sharing your perspective and sending a reminder.
    2
  1225. This is the kind of mess or life crisis that happens when you don't follow your parent's advice of becoming a doctor, lawyer or engineer (from a prestigious university). By the time you are his age, you should be financially independent from investing in real estate and index funds.

  1226. 42 the meaning of life is 42

  1227. I spent a few months during the late winter In north carolina at a retreat And completed my Wimhof Cold training. So suddenly being thrown into water that is sub-freezing It's a joy to me.❤ I'm so happy. I found your channel. You are inspiring and encouraging love. You guy happiness to you and your family.❤

  1228. Hey Jim, you touched my heart with your speech. I am your age and like you I worked hard all my life and now I am a life Coach from Ireland and I would love to give you and others on here some free sessions, I promise to bring some beautiful love into you life, just reach out to me and I will guide you. God bless Patrich Hayden
    2
  1229. I can’t agree with you more when you say time is the most precious commodity. I will live my every single second fully. I am 42.
    2
  1230. Today I listened to an episode of the "telepathy tapes" (if you don't know what that is then you ought to seek it out) A young girl named Lily summed everything up for me. She said that we are all on this earth to experience nothing else but love and once everyone understands this then the whole world will change in a heartbeat. Love yourself and by default those around you will change. Easier said than done for a great many.

  1232. Keep going till get there... Be patient and don't give up! Thank you for your precious words. I exceedingly agree with you. It really is. It's boring and common idea, but it's truly true.

  1233. You have achieved something wholesome, Jim. A sense of finding purpose and a paycheck drove you on, from job to job or career to career. You have enjoyed a great dignified life and found contentment and happiness. You have you savoured and lived your true essence. The happiness shines through your soul.

  1247. Wow, sometimes you think you are the only one going through difficulties and then you read these stories. At 45 I had built a company that was worth about five million dollars. I spent 10 years, starting in 1998, with a plan to build it up and sell it in 2008. Well, we all know what happened in 2008! Not only did I lose the company but my house as well. I'm 61 now and still haven't fully recovered. Bad economic times had me from job to job, one of them working for $20 per hour. The only way to survive is to just keep moving forward. The future is bright for this country now and, even though I feel like I'm starting over at 61, I can actually see a future. When you are drowning in your own sorrow and think you are the only one, you realize you are not! Things could be much worse! Putting your faith in God that it's his plan for you, regardless of how hard things are, is how I've survived this. Thanks for the great video because everything you say is so true! I have no clue where the last 40 years have gone!!

  1253. I understand but sometimes it’s hard to simply live. Life is a private choice
    2
  1254. Makes sense but unfortunately, people have to do what they need to do to stay afloat. One is not going to enjoy their time if they have a crappy job with low pay and maybe have to have two jobs. Then there is stress to pay bills, and that can put stress on your marriage and so on and so on. Time may be all we have but we must sell,our time away to survive. Most people will never realize a purpose other than to work and pay bills. That leaves no time to enjoy your life. There is no good answer to this.

  1261. 😊 thanks for sharing I have heard of this before but never felt it sounds awful. My problem is just being to shy. Maybe if I had a video blow up it be different I'll let you know if that happens.
    2
  1262. Outstanding! Well done! For me, my “inner critic” is often looking for perfection from myself in an imperfect human. I have to remind myself “cut myself some breaks” and go with the best I can do without over scrutinizing myself. I am enjoying your channel and your success is inevitable!

  1263. Dear Jim Burrows I hope God always bless ye with His peace. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Matthew 6:33~34 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. God is the source of Life. After we are born again, we live on the earth and later will be translated into Heaven, which John Donne expressed in his meditation 17. Thank you, sir.

  1266. this is kind of nonsense, everyone knows time goes fast, even kids. We don’t choose how we where we spend our time, money does our access to it. Money is a tool, and that tool allows us to be where we want to be

  1269. Making the most of one’s life is an interesting concept. Why the urge ? Why is everyone worried about doing everything, going everywhere ? The end remains the same, you won’t be burried with your Rolex, Ferrari and "body count". The difference between someone worried and someone who is not is the ability to enjoy the little things. Being alive first. No one enjoys that.
    2
  1270. Alright, Jim, I’m going to take you up on your offer to ask you a few questions. After wholeheartedly agreeing with all the wisdom in this video and now watching several after being served the viral one, I have to ask: (1) What questions did you ask yourself when you were thinking of launching a YouTube channel? (2) Have you asked yourself any additional questions after your subscriber count started inflecting higher? (3) What have you found to be the most effective structure of questions to generate the most insightful answers or conversation, either from yourself or others?
    2
  1271. Perseverance and grit- pastor talked about this at church a few weeks back! Through pain … and failure 😅 alot of tough & successful people go through alot in life! Always stay humble and have gratitude! Help the next one that needs help! No one left behind!

  1278. What is normal and taught from youth in other cultures is not in our culture. We are a selfish, greedy , backward culture that takes 40 years to recognize in ourselves. You beat the "system" of illusory corporate manipulation. Congratulations Jim, welcome to being fully human.

  1279. Good Video...

  1280. Being comfortable leads to complacency. Complacency leads to stagnation. Stagnation leads to nowhere.Growth only is found on the other side of action. Getting out of your comfort zone may be difficult, but with out these obstacles in our lives , we essentially cease to exist. Learning to be comfortable in an uncomfortable situation is one of the ingredients to success. 💪

  1295. I feel so bad when I see that people believe that money, friends, family or, as here, time is the most precious thing in life. In my opinion, you miss the point of life if you don't realize that this was given to you by God and ask him what is the most important thing... The inner being remains unsatisfied until you ask your creator.

  1297. I’m 30 and retired. Life is pretty simple. Save money from your slave job and then do your homework on how to invest it. If you can’t invest money be prepared to be life’s bitch. Money is everything because money = my time back. Time is the goal. 99% of people are not in control of their own time.

  1336. If I could talk to my 18 old self, I would say: "Get control of your addictive personality and your sexual narcissism, NOW! Otherwise, you'll alienate your future wife, who will distance herself from you when she finds out what's motivating you... and you'll live the final 30 to 40 years of your life in a distant, unfulfilling 'relationship' that's more like that with a room mate, than a wife".

  1346. I like my strawberries acid, when they get too sweet I feel like they taste rotten. Same with bananas, I like them almost green. Modern food is a pleasure trap, it's impossible to avoid for most people because it's too good and we're designed to love fat and sweet and eat a ton of it. Personaly, I've eaten WFPB for the last 10 years with some cheating. My problem is that I like to eat too much, could probably do competitive eating. So even if it's roasted zucchini without oil, I'll just eat non stop. Raw carrots, I'll eat non stop. It's like I'm always looking to eat more and it's hard to put these thoughts away. All of these are healthy and not fattening, but I feel we're living our life just to eat, at least a big part of our life is dedicated to this. And to be clear, I'm not hungry, I just crave eating and I think most people are, but they're eating things that make them fat.

  1351. To me, the purpose of life is having a whole life commitment and relationship with Jesus Christ. He will set you free from all of those struggles or anything you deal with, life, addictions, losses, etc. Jesus is the meaning of my life, Jesus wants a relationship with every man and woman on this earth because he loves us so much. There is a heaven and a hell out there, If you trust in Jesus and have faith you will inherit eternal life, or if you dont, eternal damnation. Very good video Jim, God bless!
