Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world

I loved it when he said, "I want to live life with all my emotions." Most of us just want to live life with positive emotion, not with negative emotion, but both are important. We need to feel it deeply
Wow, what a powerful testimony of a man who climbed out of the pit of emotional wounds and despair, to make a major course correction that required strength, courage, and transparency to overcome and live a life of restoration!
Right before he started reading Thoreau, he stated, "We're born with all these emotions, with all these feelings, and to me, letting yourself be fully involved with the way one can interact with the world, that's being human," and to me that was the most beautiful quote in the whole piece. Lovely line to keep with me. Thank you for sharing.

I had similar traumatic childhood. My father was a very angry man, verbally abusive and I swore to myself that he was a kind of person I wouldn't be like. My mom was passive aggressive, never giving us any compliment and full of sarcasm. I did become a furious and short-tempered myself when I turned adult and at some point I felt like I was like my parents. I have had mental struggling for decades due to my very low self-esteem. With all continual efforts, I've had some breakthroughs enough to be content with myself and my life. Bless to all who have gone through bad childhood. Please work on it and never give up, you will have yourself back one day.
Loved your video ,loved you. Im 74 and have spent the last 40 years unrapping the parcell of my unhappiness so listening to your video brought back so many memories and tears. Im a much happier man now than i have ever been although i still get some deeply sad days . I feel i have so much in common with you not the least that i believe that my emotions are the cornorstone of my existance. As someone once said ,life is wonderful or so i feel , my love and respect to you for being so brave to share your life with us. ❤️👍
Is it a coincidence that I feel about 20X calmer than before I watched this? I think not. 👏
I actually watched this man transform in front of my eyes from grief to beauty!
Down to earth and up towards the skies. That is life and these interviews reflect that beautifully.
I watch one of your videos every morning before I walk my dog. My morning walk is in a small forest. It's always calm there and it sets me up for the day. But since I've started watching your channel my walks are even more peaceful, my mind is more peaceful, and I tend to either meditate on the message I've just listened to or I clear my mind completely, and easily.
Wow...his mother saying that to him on his big day....Sometimes parents say rude things that stays in our hearts forever
Birds sing the music of heaven , that’s a nice quote, and he’s right , it’s not only the birds , it’s everywhere. Those videos are a pleasure to watch .
To overcome the past , let go and forgive.
I find it simply amazing how deep the trauma is hidden - always. This beautiful man remembers the deep truth his therapist told him more than forty years ago, and he gets emotional. The same happens to me so often. Thank you very much for these beautiful and uplifting videos.
"to be try be more and more vunerable......' I've spent my life trying NOT to feel vunerable and have often used anger as my shield. I think this man has the right attitude. To allow yourself to be vunerable, you become YOU and open yourself up to people. It's less lonely but it takes so much courage and strength, speaking as a man of 50yrs old.
I think, I understand this likeable man very well. Nature as a source of mental and physical health, of beauty and harmony is equally important to me - the more, the older I get. And I absolutely feel the earthquake of that therapist's remark: " You think, you are a failure, but I think, you are a big success. " Wonderful.
