[@ajcollins623]

Your message came at the perfect time for me, thank you for being a force of good

Really means a lot to hear that. And so glad I could help. Hope you're doing well.

"Be nice to people who are not nice to you" - Incredibly valuable message. People, there is a reason why people are mean. Maybe you just met them of a bad day. You have bad days too. Why would you waste a chance to meet an interesting human being, just because of a temporary state. Sometimes you find your best friend in somebody who had bad start with you. Your positivity is amazing! Thank you for this post!

[@teej_dv]

thanks :) really happy you enjoyed it!

[@MatthiasBloch]

I am thankful for this video. Big value Imo

[@edwinlau834]

Watch a couple of your videos. Awesome stuff. This video reminds me to be thankful in all circumstances. God bless you and your family.

[@mdost4963]

Tank you for beeing thankful. That cannot be mentioned enough. All the best wishes for your baby.

[@teej_dv]

Thanks :) :)

[@ChristopherSalisburySalz]

I think that one of the great aspects of religion/sincere prayer is the practice of stating your thanks for all the good things in your life. It really changes your attitude. I still take time to think about and list all the things I am grateful for now that I don't pray. We, in the US, are especially fortunate because of where we live. I am blown away by all the people in the US that belittle and take for granted our great country. The US isn't perfect but it's still a great place to live.

What a fantastic video! It aligns very much with my view on life. I had a very hard life growing up (poverty, violence etc.), I appreciate every little thing in my life, that God has given me. My family, my friends, my work, food on the table, a car, being able to help my mother and my grandparents, and many more things. Keep up the good work, brother!

[@alekseiabakumkin9557]

How good to find another believer working in tech! Thanks, your words are really helpful! And thanks for the reminder to be grateful to God for everything I have now.

[@teej_dv]

"In everything, give thanks" :)

[@Givmiakis]

Wonderful!!! An absolutely wonderful message. Love this.

[@marshallformula]

Fantastic Advice. Perfect timing for me right now. Thanks for doing this. Congrats on the new addition!

[@metatronicx]

Thanks so much TJ for this. Be blessed

[@patriciourrutia2297]

Congratulations for your new baby! And of course, I'm thankful for your videos, you're a very good teacher.

[@nilsgg]

All my best wishes on your new arrival!

[@dereklomax161]

That is a very healthy attitude. Thanks!

[@luissolanodev]

Thanks TJ, really needed this. God's been talking to me in many different ways and this hits just right in my heart❤

[@teej_dv]

Super happy to hear that it helped you :)

[@wadecodez]

had a former employer who always put pressure on the way people worded things which really limited my choices when making decisions to respond. in hind sight, the workplace was toxic. Turns out there are people who understand time is limited, and don't fixate on tiny details like the order of words. My antidote to burnout was finding a new job.

[@hhhnnn9195]

So thankful for your contributions in telescope!

[@justinhj1]

Thanks for the positive message and happy thanksgiving

[@ChrisPatti]

This REALLY resonates with me! I actually had my therapist (Yes I see a therapist, amazingly helpful :) suggest something similar when I had asked about finding balance and keeping stress in check during a job search. You're SO right. My father shoveled snow or sand off of runways for a living, and my mother pressed buttons at a plastic factory. The work we do and all the privileges a career in tech can confer are nothing short of miraculous!

[@me-heer]

I added this to my Watch Later a month ago and I forgot to watch. I watched this today when I needed it the most. This helped me, man! :) Thanks, TJ. I'm *thankful* for this. :D Hope you had a great thanksgiving.

[@vibrantneon.]

Still working on having this kind of point of view.. but it's finally starting to get easier years later (wish I was joking..). Helped me remind some of the stuff I could be doing better on that journey. Thank you!

[@nickbanderson]

Neovim backdrop, classic. I am thankful for RRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSST

[@mvargasmoran]

I can't believe I'm just now watching this video. how did it fly under my radar.

[@Mario-vt2ss]

[@gamer-tantrik]

Congratulations on the addition of your daughter! Also, congrats on the haircut, looks great. And thank you for this video and all the others. I'm pretty stoked to go to work on monday's, and am super thankful for the opportunity that I have to work in a field that I'm in love with. i'm hoping to get back on the train of doing some dev work, outside of work, and learning how to better balance life (serious struggle, but all of the things that i'm 'balancing' are pretty awesome, so it always feels like a win win). It's great to see ya!

[@WilliamWelsh]

Off topic but what's your Discord link? The Twitch widget doesn't let me join

[@teej_dv]

discord.gg/h2yeg4wrSK Thanks for joining :)

[@snoopy8870]

NeoVim and Rust btw... 🤣

[@teej_dv]

What can I say, I'm thankful for them 😂

[@ChristopherSalisburySalz]

Are you a Mormon? If not, what religion? Tech world is sorta assumed to be mostly atheist liberal types. I'm atheist but still conservative (modern conservative, I believe in gay rights). I use to be Mormon which is why I am so curious. I respect people's right to believe as long as they respect my right to not believe.

[@teej_dv]

I'm a Christian -- denomination is Baptist, but there's a huge range so it's hard to say exactly what that would mean to people on the internet haha. Glad to have you watching :)

[@karimdjemai5386]

Sorry I don't want to be rude but this is so stupid that its dangerous. To anyone reading this: Pleease don't expect to dodge burnout with this bs.

[@tobias-edwards]

Thank you for cutting your hair

[@teej_dv]

hahaha you're welcome!

[@frydac]

Great message, actively seeking out things you can feel grateful for is definitely a good technique to combat negative feelings. I'm pretty sure I heard this before on a podcast named: Hidden Brain My sister (phd in psychology) recommended me this podcast, and I listen to it since. Check it out!
