1. Set things up for tomorrow 2. Punch laziness in the face 3. Time is ticking 4. Don't wait until you feel ready 5. Visualize accomplishing the end goal I love your videos! So helpful! And the cute characters! Amazing. ❤️

[@naviecard5439]

Thanks^^

[@julsqqdesign]

Your characters with little plants on their heads are so cuuute!

[@BobbyChiu]

Thx!

[@NeroDeamon]

[@goodguybuy7961]

[@amyeliz919]

Omg the "Punch laziness in the face" animation made me laugh so hard haha

[@shinkamui]

years later it still gets me everytime. `The pallete and the pencils flying to the side are also a gem

[@earthdragonart9242]

I keep repeating that part over and over again.

[@CatherinePedersen]

Absolutely loved the part where your character smacked the lazy one, made me chuckle! These videos are really helpful in more ways than one.

When I was 6 years old my uncle had a litter of puppies. My uncle sat me in a chair, put a fluffy jellybean in my arms and said that he would be mine if my parents said yes. They said no and I got so angry that I yelled "I'm going to have my OWN puppies when I grow up!" and it's still there 23 years later. :) I have shaped my entire life around being a reputable dog breeder and I have set goals in what I want to achieve in my breeding program. I have asthma that worsened so I had to reconsider what breed I want to commit my life to so that was a bump in the road but it's solved. My tip to others are, if you keep your eyes on the finishline you will be motivated to find solutions to the roadblocks. And if you get lost or lose motivation you talk to your mentors. :) As for my breeding. I'm almost 30, I have 5 dogs and 3 which are old and 2 working dogs, so if the last senior lives to be 15 means that in 3 years I can look around for a puppy for breeding, raise her for 2 years, show her about 1 year so she has her first litter when she is 3. It gives us time to renovate the house to be able to handle the life of a dogbreeder. But the vision that drives me since childhood is that I'm walking into the room. Puppies tiredly makes hungry noises in the dark. I open the blinds and see the litter of puppies in full light the very first time, and the tired proud mama ❤ NOTHING else matters to me. That day will happen, I will not accept it not happening. Being disabled will not stop me. I am too determined that even if I lose an arm I will still make it happen. Nothing can stop me!

[@TheCivildecay]

as 30+ year old your speech around 4:00 did make me panic :D

[@BenTheDragon]

Maybe I shouldn't have watched this at night, my motivation is going to keep me up!!

[@martarogel5875]

You are like a zen art master. I wish I had found this channel earlier, but maybe the right time is now. Thank you for being so generous with your teachings.

[@solunnne]

This video is so helpful, thank you! I have been coming back to see it a lot!

[@vonritzenhoff9715]

I was tired when I started watching this but after those punches I really woke up. Holy hell I got startled.

[@dibujandocondelein1509]

I love this video, it is ideal for those days when doubt freezes me, thank you very much!

[@thecdnwanderer]

This is so great. Especially the reminders about imposter syndrome and the incredible potential we can have if we just start now and avoid wasting time.

[@Blackthornprod]

great video as usual ! :)

[@MsDaydream3r]

I love how you animated the little guy punching laziness, it made me LOL. It's how I feel about my own laziness sometimes.

[@GabyDomingos]

Still needed this 7 months later, thanks!

[@ninja.android]

I wish I could like this x1000 I always come back to these videos, super motivating, helpful and help me brighten up when I feel overwhelmed by work, personal work, personal life.... Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@BobbyChiu]

Wow, thank you for saying that! It's great to hear you keep finding these videos so helpful! :) Thanks for watching! ~S

[@marceleden3210]

Why are you being so helpful? I feel a bit like it isn't true; as though someone could not be this kind-hearted and open to helping others in such a way as...this. I could almost cry about the amount of help you've given me. Then at that, aside from these inspirational videos, there is Schoolism.com to still be explored. I am nearly ashamed to have not have known who you are, but feel blessed to know who you are now.

[@rasoulahmadi4819]

You made my day my Master....I didn't have any good expression today's morning when I woke up, but now It's diffrente.....Thank you so much....You are my HERO

[@sablewings2693]

You're awesome, Mr. Chiu. Thanks for the encouragement.

[@ghaethwardeh]

I watch this motivational video everyday

[@BobbyChiu]

That's so great to hear! Glad to hear it's so helpful to you :) ~S

[@radoslavtodorov9848]

Dude you are so real with your stuff, you help so many people, you probably don't even know :D i'm glad i can always come back to those videos, when i need them THANK YOU !

[@EevaNikunen]

Thank you for the inspiring video! I needed this today.

[@BobbyChiu]

Thx Eeva!

[@wirelesswisdom3006]

Thank you Bobby, you're a great human being, Much Much LOVE!

[@sofiamatos1246]

Bobby.... you are the main reason I just can't give up on my dreams. I really wish I had just a little tiny Bobby Chiu in my pocket so that whenever I feel lack of motivation or sad, I could just take it out and say "please, just say something, anything!" Everything you say just brightens my brain, it goes like "why did I not think like this before??" or "what the hell I am doing? I should be doing *whatever*..." And while wasting 8 h a day on a job that I see no future in it, whenever I come across your videos, I just don't care, I have to stop what I'm doing, because your words are gold for me and my life right now. These few words I just heard from you made my day, because now I just know that today I'll do exactly as you say and tomorrow it will be even greater. You are amazing. I'm going to the Comicon event in Portugal, and I really wished so bad that I could see you, it's a shame that in Portugal we have so few amazing worldwide artist coming. Even so I'm just happy to attend your courses in scholism. It also helps me a lot! You have no idea how much your words can change somene's day routine or prespective in life. Or maybe you actually do know, and you should. =) It would be my dream to be someone as inspiring as you, not only as an artist but as a human being. I better shut up now x''D Thank you so much for just being you! I'm 24 years old and I'm not giving up anytime soon

[@BobbyChiu]

Thanks so much for sharing those kind words, Sofia! Best of luck to you!

[@sofiamatos1246]

the fact that you took the time to respond to my coment proves my point ;) It's my pleasure

[@alicekawa6263]

These videos motivate me so much. They have helped me with my anxiety and also have helped me to move on and keep creating. Thank you

[@sophieholt9619]

You're such a great motivational speaker! I wish I had a Bobby bobble head alarm that says motivational speeches in the morning ^^ thank you for free videos :)

[@brushmechanic_CTS]

I truly hope you know how helpful you are to so many artists around you. These videos are very reassuring. I have a great support system, but it's different coming from another creative brain. Please continue making them. They are a creative anti-depressant!

[@olgad5476]

thank you, Bobby, I am crying. you are an amazing hard working human being and your smile is super beautiful!

[@BobbyChiu]

Aw thx Valery

[@CrunchySnacks]

I love this so much! Why doesnt this have more thumbs up? Let's smack our lazy selves up! Woo! Currently in the process of simply having the habit of this activation energy. These type of videos truly help as I feel like I'm surrounded by lower energy people with no passion. Thank you for making this, Bobby. Hope to see you soon when I have a better portfolio. Going back to ground zero.

[@CapMartin7]

Im super late to the party! Watching these videos is such a motivator to keep working hard and believing in myself as an artist

[@AverusMuto]

mmmm those punches.

[@nsj58]

Ah yes, giving the brain a good 'ole smack down every day now. Thanks Bobby for the continuous motivation and support on here!

[@JulyRuliia]

This advice to start prior to when you're suppose to start is really wroking really well ! It's something I sometimes do like "I have to work on that in like 2h but I'll do a quick sketch now" and it helps tremendously because you loose the pressure to fail it.

[@BobbyChiu]

Yes!!! So great to hear that this advice has been working for you and you've been enjoying doing little sketches here and there when you have the chance! :) ~S

[@OlgaProzorova-eg8ji]

I should watch this every morning, thank you Bobby!

[@BobbyChiu]

That's a great way to start your morning! :) ~ Ashley

[@Shaun.is.typing]

You’re motivating 🙏 Thank you

[@tatyanacaffeine285]

Thanks Bobby! You are the best!

[@MAX_KOMAKO]

It's very hard to get ready to work in the morning. Especially during the whole day keep in a good mood in front of the monitor. After 4 hours you feel already squeezed lemon)))) Interesting video with the drawn little men)) Thanks Bobby!

[@AnimeStudioMotion]

Thanks bobby this is actually what I really wanted to hear. Laziness is my worst enemy.

[@kaneforster8539]

I've literally binge watched about 5 of these in a row and their fantastic. It really puts me in a positive and ambitious mood. Also the cute images really keep up the light feeling in what can sometimes feel like daunting topics. I will definitely be watching and sharing these thoughts and philosophy's.! Thank you ! and i finished some work this evening so it was a good kind of binge.

[@kurodax6649]

"you are my servant, I am your master" I choked so hard on this LOLOL

[@NikhitaPrabhudesai]

Thanks Bobby, you're the best!

[@augustine.c8204]

gosh you are amazing. I would love it if you could tell us a bit about how you maintain such an optimistic attitude towards everything, how you got yourself to where you are... like a draw-my-life video, or maybe a brief story-time. Greatly appreciate all that you do.

Thank you

[@tuliocmendes]

Thank you Bobby. it was rough until today...

[@elizabeth-8]

Best video about motivation I've watched. Thank you!

[@Kitesune]

Am I the only one getting all emotional watching this realizing these videos are the ONLY thing telling me to keep going and trying to dream/strive for a better future? 'Asking' the internet about what to do with my life because no one else helps out. Oh man.. This is all so true but seems SO far, far away. ty.

[@rachelsloane2795]

thank you! a great start to the morning.

[@luyuanzhang409]

i should watch this video everyday when i feel unmotivated..

[@spaceforthesoul6286]

Luyuan Or start working every time you are demotivated?

[@MiaTlustos]

perfect, i'm watching in the morning :D

[@ivanjankov2709]

thank you

[@alexeygarmash5819]

Thanks man! Have a good day too!

[@ariyantozulkifli8082]

awesome.. just... AWESOME.. the best part is that animated punching laziness scene.. hahaha. Really love those character though. Thanks Bobby.

[@EsjiSG]

Just what I needed to hear. Thank you so much Bobby !

[@Blue-bn3ze]

Im still working on an art doll, its been 3 days so far, ive worked on him for 3 days straight, and his neck and wrist keep breaking right now im working on his little mushroom pillow, then will fix his wrist, but, yesterday i almost gave up on fixing him.... but i didnt! Dont quit practicing or working on something you think isnt good enough, because it takes practice for it to look like something that a pro would make, and guess what? Pros still practice, and they keep improving, if you dont feel motivated to push on then listen to your favorite music, look at your favorite drawing or art by someone else, set yourself a goal to reach by the end of the day, and tell yourself, you can do this!

[@mitrasu5918]

This dude... never blink...

[@junghoseok1411]

You are such an Inspiration! Thank you so much for what you're doing, it's amazing!

[@Kurayami231]

Hi I know this is an old video, but I wanted to really point out about using "time as motivation". while for some people time may be something that will push people to start learning, for others, the concept of less time may create opposite results such as just shooting down. So, I really don't even think about time when it comes to motivation. but , I 'm excited that you brought the "punching that "voice" and I also related to the other topics which has help me a lot, Thanks for sharing this!

[@macacocachorro3069]

i should see this video every day, keep doing your great work!!!!

[@wiixdful]

Thank you Bobby, I listened to this video everyone morning :D

[@sharikabenny5998]

Thank you so much! You're videos have been so inspiring and I'm loving them all! I hope you keep posting for a long time to come!

[@wextercg]

Thanks again Bobby! Very inspirational!

[@naviecard5439]

[@BobbyChiu]

[@sharongrove729]

thank you bobby, you are such a great inspiration

[@gayaanimation8685]

that little animation was so good! Great message as usual

[@ricardojost715]

Thank you Bobby!

[@rubenslp]

Just the best advices I listened today. Thank you

[@MayaAsakura]

thanks so inspiring to listen everytime.

[@ImaLittleDove]

I feel balancing life and art is extremely difficult. I make time for drawing, but then don't draw because I feel bad that I'm takign time away from other things- and then nothing gets done. I hate school especially because it's the biggest limbo for me. I just want to paint/sketch/practice but then all these other things get in the way and I'm upset I can't draw and upset that I have to do stuff I hate doing (that is hardly benefitting me at all). I just don't know what to do at this point and it makes me scared for the future. Like, what am I supposed to do? Am I not getting enough practice? If I prioritize art over school what if I end up with neither?

[@MiyukiYuki]

Are you in highschool at the moment? Do you want to go to an art uni? Like bobby has said before in other videos, try bringing a sketchbook with you everywhere. If you have time between classes, at lunch, on transit, etc. try to draw when you can.

[@oxanalim8819]

I don’t know how you’re doing at this current moment... but gosh, what you’re experiencing is exactly my life right now... I’m so frustrated and want with all my soul to do art, but Im in school and I hate it... the thought of all the school work I have to do drains me

[@pawboo4100]

I just love how much this was universal. Well yeah you kept talking about art, but for a really long time I couldn't motivate myself to start studying for a big competition. I always kept telling myself that I won't manage anyway, that I'm lazy and it's pointless, but when I watched this I just fell happier and happier hearing that you believe in us because you know we CAN. I just wanted you to know how grateful I am for your words. Thank you!

[@firesoul1941]

You great!Cheers from Poland and thank you.

[@charisfishter7594]

Your videos are so encouraging! Thank you!

[@Cati.Colours]

Hi Bobby, thank you for this video, I really needed it today. It made me cry and made want to go on with my art.

[@kingcrow5623]

All of these videos have been great motivation for me Bobby! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and inspirations and working habits. Healthy habits make all the difference. You are a great coach! Great job sir!

[@ruitingsong6935]

my tears are hanging....

[@santoshoommen9209]

That is awesome. Love the pep talk. Now when my brain gets lazy. I'll see some strange character with a mushroom head slap the side of my head. Or maybe I'll see you and I'll get the heck back to work. Thanks Bobby! These tips are gold!

[@krsextonart]

giggled so hard at the punching laziness in the face part.

Thx for the motivation. It really made my day. I'm glad I found u and I just watched a few of your videos and u had inspired me cuz I was reaching my limit and people are contently telling me "why an artist" and "u can't do it" and only very few had helped me in fact the people that I admire are the one saying this even my family and people that I don't know at all are the one encouraging me to continue. And u encouraged me. And also I want to share my drawing but the problem is I got over protective parent and well I know the rest but I do my best to share that man
