[@arenbajamir5785]

Dear brother I have been watching your videos everyday and I have been encourage more and more. So I would like to ask you can you help me find a way for a side hustle.

[@Medevicerep]

Outstanding suggestions. Very well thought out.

[@brucewalters8635]

I'm 70. I only had 2 friends but both were toxic so I cut them loose. No regrets. My life is more peaceful with no friends. I have my daughter, granddaughter and my cat, Punky. I need nothing. Peace

[@Yasminescookingshow]

Hello and thank you for that . I needed it.

[@annew.1]

It is interesting that not everyone grows wiser with age. Agreed that ties need to be severed when it causes more irritation and anger than happiness.

[@connieboylan9159]

I find as I get older that I am just more peaceful with my own company and the company of my dogs..no drama..just peace

[@SandraGarcia-lj3bd]

Exactly peace . I agree I am 53 .

[@brucewalters8635]

[@classactracing]

I would add these to the list as well. Unrealistic expectations, regrets, grudges and resentment, fear of change, youthful insecurities, rigid habits, worrying about the future, pleasing everyone, perfectionism and overcommitment. Remember, letting go of certain things is a personal and ongoing process. It's about creating a mindset that promotes well-being, fulfillment, and positive growth as you navigate the different stages of life.

[@RetireandGo]

Great added list Good job This video was right on point

[@mae-zk9xu]

I absolutely agree 👍

[@jniz595]

Damn you must be going through it lol

[@noelavila]

Well said young man.

[@isagoldfield7393]

💝

[@eoinMB3949]

I'd add.............Let go of the desire to be loved, accepted, appreciated by others. Detachment is the gift that keeps on giving and when you expect nothing from other people you'll realise the amazing power inherent in this way of being. No matter anyone says or does, no matter what they dont do or dont say, none of it matters, nothing can throw you when you practice detachment. Trust me this saves so much trouble and drama in your life, its peace, equilibrium and tranquility.

[@edtaylor7816]

"Detachment is the gift that keeps on giving". Great quote!

[@Yasminescookingshow]

Amazing! Thank you

[@connieboylan9159]

Buddhist say..the source of all sorrow is attachment..check out van Morrisons song about detachment

[@Quality_Culture]

That he mentioned as no.13: The need to be liked.

[@Yasminescookingshow]

The comments add so much value to this wonderful video. I’m 45, no children, never married and I’m the happiest person I know. Sure I would love a couple of great friends but finding quality and solid people like myself has proven to be very difficult. I’m going to be ok. Thanks everyone.

[@carolinasoulshine8949]

You rock:) same only i say I'm ageless but yes if someone isn't in their hearts and genuinely a good human, im out

[@sew_gal7340]

I am happily married, when people ask me what is my secret to a happy marriage i tell them...dont get married. 😂..Marriage is incredibly hard and it takes a certain kind of old school thinking to make it long lasting and fulfilling. You need to be incredibly selfless and patient to have a happy marriage, if my wonderful husband dies tomorrow i will never ever marry again. Heck if i could go back in time to my younger self i would also say do not marry....maybe...unless if i meet my husband again i would marry him again. But no one else. =]

[@germancamacho3944]

I am 77 y/o and l have apply all of your wise recommendations all my life, l feel bless to have a wonderful old aged , I don’t know what’s to have chronic pain, diabetes , over weight, I eat only to satisfy my hunger, but never to be full , sleep 7 hours, don’t smoke and drink only on special occasions, use pot for relaxation and meditation, walk when whether permitted,otherwise I’m a good walker, never though that age ‘ll make me to look back in my youthful years , and I still enjoying my memories dated back to my childhood , And memories are the windows of our past and storages for the future

[@penguingobrrbrr353]

Another thing ! - do not care about how much others make and make sure you are doing fine and you are doing better than the last 10 years. Never compare your money/net worth/ salary or anything. You are... you vs you.

[@goodmorningfrommt]

Probably one of the best advice especially in today’s open salary conversations.. there are more reasons why someone in your same position earns more & it shouldn’t make you feel less than

[@CharleneCong]

Getting older, I've started to let go of that fear of missing out and found joy in it instead. It's freeing! Now, I focus more on what I really want to do, not just scrolling through what everyone else is doing online. I make time to unplug and do things I love, like outdoors and creating content. It's all about enjoying the moment and feeling at peace with where I am. Your video really reminded me to appreciate my own path, without worrying about everyone else's. Loved it!

[@jangriffin-fi1yx]

You sound like me 😊 I say you can do whatever you like in life as long as you don't hurt anyone along the way ❤

[@coolsheatingacservices7375]

Amen. Everyday is a special day!!!

[@xcaret-ns3pb]

👍👍🙏🙏

[@chandie5298]

The value in letting go of the need to be liked cannot be overstated. Currently, people are compromising their personal value system due to the pressure of social media. Trying to fit in or be liked by people they don't even know.... this ethereal crowd. Group-think pressure. Breaking free of that is a matter of self-respect.

[@connieboylan9159]

Great insight

[@thestoiccoach]

Your videos are definitely not junk content. Huge fan! Thanks for producing these.

[@iamkerenlouise]

You are spot on; his content is so solid and helpful.

[@roadkingjp]

I just subscribed and so far, enjoy your wisdom. I've pretty much lived my life as you suggested. No debt, married 50 years to my sweetheart, great family, no debt (don't believe in it, never did) always lived in my means. Still learning, working and investing. And not because I have to but because I want to. I love life, it's a gift, every minuet and every hour. There are no promises for a tomorrow, I can attest to that. I'm a walking miracle! I can count on one hand who my good friends are and my family are the best people I could ever wish for. I'm fortunate and I thank God every night for it!!

[@jangriffin-fi1yx]

❤ all you wrote I feel the same way. I believe in our Great Creator "God" not worried what others think say everyone to their own. I thank God for everything & more & truly believe "appreciation" is the true key to life as if you appreciate you don't destroy...your life, others or the world. Have it all if you have love. Family to me is everything. I am not worried about who is my friend or not I do what I like 😂 I say mix with positive good beings stay away from toxic their problem. Love life it's great like you say & true gift...we have to run with it make most if it every day & count our blessings 🌟

[@debbytakahashi6632]

It’s 82 and this was Life Confirming. Have to share it with younger relatives.

[@ronmortimer252]

It's comforting to realise we have the power to let go of things that used to keep us in a kind of bondage. I have to admit though that I do still eat french fries like a savage. :)

[@BIOHAZARD_V2]

Love that you jump right into the list!

[@cisium1184]

I would state "Special Days" differently. Don't wait for special days to celebrate, but creating more special days is a way of celebrating. I observe all kinds of little holidays in little ways now. For example, today is the Feast of St. Bridget, one of Ireland's lesser known patron saints, and it's the day I plant vegetable seeds indoors that I'll transplant to the garden on St. Patrick's Day.

[@edtaylor7816]

Thanks Tae. at 67, I needed to be reminded of several of these. Especially the first one.

[@Mileko-fv5pb]

As a gay man, people try to change me. Whether to be straight and have a family vs just being happy with who I am. I’d rather be alone. I’m not trying to please anyone anymore. I’m 53 and happy with who I am.

[@jangriffin-fi1yx]

Good on you keep living the way you want as your life. I am 72 soon & I believe you can have go see do as long as you don't hurt anyone along the way. I fully believe we should all respect each other & just do unto others as we want to be treated. We are all God's children in my books he loves us all & doesn't discriminate ❤ To me love is love 🤗❤️

[@sarahwashington00]

I randomly clicked on one of your video this morning and I spend half of the day watching your content ! You give some much precious advices ! If only I knew this 10 years ago I would be in a much better state right now 😆 thank you for sharing all of this with us

[@roseleen314]

"There's so much in life that is out of our control " ...that summarizes it all

[@lunaazul3000]

Wow, Special days, that advice is golden!!! People get so hung up in that to the point that if they receive a gift out of that context, it's almost like it's not special, so yes!! Loved that advice thanks for putting out there!

[@nicolechen6769]

well said. I'm gonna watch it once a month to remind Myself

[@pammitchell3098]

So well done! And very compassionately presented. I love this.

[@stephaniedegange2737]

I love your lessons. I must work harder to be mindful. I am 68.

[@lourdesgomez5221]

Fantastic advice! Thank you.

[@coreyfletcher4806]

Your videos are so well edited! So much time goes into each video and the quality is recognized.

[@matthiasv6608]

every day you are healthy is a day you could celebrate - that is correct!

[@jangriffin-fi1yx]

Keep up the good thinking. Be happy & proud of yourself ❤

[@olgamelo676]

You are correct!! I am 55 y and now i am very selective with my relations, family, friends,.. Reuming, less then a hand. I am happy!

[@karencrecco2922]

This was invaluable. I am 74, and have embraced ever one of these points. Especially hate “ labeling”.

[@williamschoemann4209]

Well, thank you. You sound pretty thoughtful and wise for what appears to be only about forty years. Stay the course.

[@fredswartley9778]

Great list. We need to let go of these things to move forward and live an abundant life. People pleasing and perfectionism have always been hard for me to give up, but I am learning. I would also add comparing ourselves to others. We should not try to keep up with in others, but should live the unique life that God has called us to.

[@braxxian]

He is certainly right about the age thing. When I hit 55 my body went out on strike, it’s still on strike🤨

[@77magicbus]

All true and reminds me of the book : "The Road Less Traveled."

[@Jupiter_Crash]

Love your practicality and HUMOR!

[@init3]

This video is a gold mine of great advice. Loved it!

[@Fundaground]

Top tier talk, here. Bravo!🎉

[@steverichdrummr]

Tae, you are very wise. I enjoyed your video. Thankfully, I've let go of all of these things except your very first. Thanks

[@beastoftalvar]

Love your content. Keep being you and shining your light on the world!❤

[@mariarooney6262]

You are so wise. I’m so happy you figured some important life lessons early. Mostly wanting to be liked. We will always struggle a little with that, but hopefully not enough to destroy our lives. Thank you.

[@SasukeFan21]

Thank you! Wow there are a lot of things I’ve been happening in life time for me to REALLY REALLY let it go!!! Or let anyone go too!

[@chris_sotura]

This was a great video! So many helpful things to think about.

[@andrewprzybylowicz7370]

He is so right. I never use an alarm clock and can work part time as an RNA, or artist, with more skills. I have 5-6 psych meds and a lot of medical complications. I'll never get a BA at Illinois Tech in Art and Design. I'll have to adjust. I had a 4.69 in high school and won't realize my dreams. I've been mentally and physically ill for over 50 years and can at least survive

[@xcaret-ns3pb]

👍👍🙏🙏💙

[@jangriffin-fi1yx]

You are brilliant have a wonderful brain please do not pull yourself down as I can tell that you are a special human being with all you write & way yoy expressed yourself. We all have special gifts don't have to have fancy degrees after our names. Tell yourself "all's well" everything in my life is working out for my (our) highest good, out of this situation only good can come for me (us), I am (we are) safe ❤🤗 Don't feel anyone is above you in anyway you're great. Love yourself, look after yourself. Rise above it all. You could gradually wean yourself off medications I believe if you want to. I feel (have witnessed) some meds given can be detrimental to life especially if they are anti-psychotic ones, even a Counsellor years ago told me this herself. Mind over matter powerful can heal your entire body life yourself. You are stronger than you think. 🙏 💜

[@darrenruzzi361]

Holy crap i stumbled across this video, and am blown away with the information, its simple, but how true, and the messages are invaluable. I will be a follower for life!! THANK you for this!!

Awesome words of wisdom🌻

[@chocolattegal]

So true . So true . I am an immigrant and o worked hard to get to where I am . I was getting brainwashed in the past couple of years thinking being made to think Iby social media that I am a looser because I don’t make money the smart way etc .. I make money and I like what I do . Your short video reverberated with my inner thoughts . Thank you. Turtle tortoise has been my spirit animal.

Great video with a lot of valuable lessons, thank you !! Even though we probably know a lot of these, it's equally important to remind ourselves.

[@rubikscube6722]

Love this video!❤

[@Whatorwellsaid21]

I often imagine looking down at humanity (observing) and seeing how people worry about a special drinking cup or some clothing piece someone decided to wear. How silly! We are all vulnerable, mortal creatures. Only 3-4 generations down the line we will be forgotten. Do you know or remember your great grandmother or her grandparents? We are insignificant beings. Don’t take yourself or others so seriously. Focus on making life easier, helping, living…

[@jjberg83]

I've noticed at 40, finally, that not everyone is your friend or looking out for your best interest. I've been burned by lots of new people I thought were new friends but are just out for a quick buck or can even set you up in a big lie to take you down. Trust but verify!

[@luisasterioquerubin6829]

This is a transformative video. 12:02

[@sableann4255]

These are wonderful tips! But, Getting older I realized this very thing # 1 topic: 2023 I cut loose 3 toxic so called "friends" , 2 of these so called friends were Bridesmaids I knew for 30+ years. I feel no regrets for letting them go out of my life. They all were negative, toxic, one was jealous, made nasty comments & had become insulting towards me & my family. I took too much of their garbage for too many years!

[@rosemarybanner]

So true…everything!

[@timprussell]

I'm in early 50's and letting go is so important. Realizing possessions don't define you is huge and will save you a lot of money. Great content Tae, I always find a good take away from every video.

So TRUE ❤

Dude, I really appreciated this video! I get overwhelmed so easy after a weekend trip and then it just sits in the computer and a 🎉 vid might get edited. 😂😂

Just let go. 90% of what's out there is not worth worrying about. Fighting reality, fighting others, whatever it is just let it go.
