I ❤ these: "If you grasp at any state of existence and attempt to make it permanent you will experience chaos" - Dan koe Dont fight with reality,flow with it

[@Marketwithv]

What an amazing comment reminds me of stoicism

[@kenny.bender]

Nietzsche wrote about how people must always have the next "goal" or "purpose" for their "will to power." People tend to default to "I just need to get to that point then I'll be fulfilled." When the true fulfillment is "the constant overcoming of one's self." Playing the infinite game.

[@vunguyentr5561]

Lol bro I'm speechless, this is next level bromance, would you pay 1k to have a coffee with Dan

[@user-sg9ye6cb4d]

I live in Russia. And im 23 y.o. I cannot do many things. I cannot move to another country. I cannot properly do my own business, the government can just take it away some day. The conscription military service is searching for me and if they find me, i'll go to the jail. Just because i dont want to die in war and dont want to kill people. I have girlfriend and we want to be family. But this annoying situation brokes me. Thank you for your videos. I hope some day I can use your advices. ps soory for my english

[@alexmckenzie9978]

"Make a conscious effort to expose yourself to experience." - This is what I've been struggling with over the past 9 months or so. Thank you for the reminder.

“My life’s work is to become friends with Dan” 😂 (sometimes that’s how I feel)

[@devenherbert3579]

Just by reading the title I can say I needed this. This is my hump 🐫 that I am now getting over.

[@DanKoeTalks]

Safe journeys my friend

[@winstonthomas4576]

“struggle is a part of life.” So true! Tell that to my wife. She is a Christian and believes that she is cursed and forsaken when difficulties arise. She even gets depressed because of this idea she has. Even Jesus says that there will be troubles and you will overcome. She doesn’t get that. I’m beginning to think she has a serious mental problem. I got very sick last year, but I recovered in an amazing way and is even fitter and healthier than I ever was. She says it was witchcraft and I am cursed, but she does not see the miracle in me recovering with stellar health now… Her mind and ideas are dangerous and I can’t let her into my mind. Lol I will leave her when my kids are old enough and have strong minds to not be infected by her ideas.

[@Jha9124]

Take her to a therapist man! That sounds dangerous. (Or tell someone to brainwash her, jk)

[@Cookies205]

Nutritional deficiencies (Vitamin C, B Vitamins, the fat soluble vitamins, etc.), mineral depletion, and heavy metal accumulation (mercury, aluminum, iron, lead, cadmium, etc.) can cause severe symptoms of mental "illness" such as: anxiety, depression, fear, paranoia, etc. Would invite you to explore those areas if interested for they might offer potential alleviation of the experiences you are facing together. And stress (aka intense negative thinking) can cause & exacerbate said deficiencies and facilitate toxic metal accumulation as well. It becomes self perpetuating

[@edheldude]

Whatever she is she's no Christian.

[@mr.increediblle7964]

She sounds like she is a surface level Christian. Try to help her as much as you can. At the end of the day, it is for better or worst. Have you tried counselling or point out to her how her thinking doesnt align with her beliefs ? I take it you are not Christian ? I deal with constant depressing and struggle with suffering hence why i watch these self improvement videos because i am tired of the way i am. Plus i am staying away from dating too

[@insanoibro6331]

Try to help the sick. It's the duty of the strong to care for the weak.

[@TAHA666]

''This too shall pass''- and in every new phase (high and low) there is another layer of clarity. Thank you for making this one, Dan.

[@horriblesnakeyes]

This is just mindblowing! Every word, every concept, every quote is gold here. After watching this video, I have realized that I am in the lost phase. For several days I had no motivation to work on anything. Then yesterday, I accepted that I need to do something to get out of this rut. Today, this video popped up in my feed! And I'm so glad it did. I am feeling much better about myself. I can actually visualize all the times I have gone through these phases in my life, and everything is making sense now. This too shall pass, and I'll be working towards the next phase. Thank you Dan for sharing your immense wisdom🙏 You have truly cracked the code!

[@ThisIsTheWayy]

Right on time brother! Thank you for this!

[@AshishKumar-le1cm]

This is the way

[@bapbirb]

I've watched alot of self help videos for at least a decade. Professionals, psychologist, Buddhist, bunch of philosophy, ideology etc.. You are actually the first person I've come across that helped me to put my thoughts in order and prioritize actions. I've had so much going on in my mind, but your words really helped me to push myself to think about what the next step should be. There's alot of contents out there that talks about the disadvantage of having mental illness, traumas etc, and its good to learn about things like that because it allows you to better analyze your life/situation. But contents like yours are mandatory because you actually give practical advice for action. You're also very different from the generic motivational speakers that tell people to 'just do it and man up'. I wanted to express my appreciation for your contents, and although I have a long way to go, Im hoping that I'll actually change my life for the better through practical actions.

[@hjuuhjhkjyf5597]

Thank you man i needed this. I probably need to rewatch this a dozen times to fully get it but this is solid wisdom thank you!

[@jackiek4159]

Love all of the practical advice you provide Dan! These videos are life changing! Thank you! 🙏🏻💞✨

[@lilshake139]

Everything grows, it's destined to change. I guess all we can do is be grateful for what comes.

[@Diego.Talks.]

Let’s goo. Another upload. You’ve changed my life man. Thanks Dan

[@ChuTheCreator]

Thank you; hyped for your book too

[@SaifanTaruc]

Embrace impermanence. As someone going through the lost phase, thank you so much for making this video. 🙏

Love listening to this channel. Thanks for the inspiration. Getting ready for my week.

[@user-ih4hp9vc4c]

Dan, I realy need to thank you. I was kind of lost for a while and you took me back to feel good about myself and chase my dreams again!

[@ShredTraining]

This is gold. Just what I needed to hear today. Thank you!

[@abhishekdarnal]

Dan, you are the only youtuber i have subscribed for the newsletter. And I haven't regretted since.

[@RevvS1k]

By far, one of the most surreal, compendious and relevant young men I've come know on this entire platform. May your efforts never cease Dan....🏆

[@Mia-ei4mh]

Hey Dan I got the letter from you last weekend & I can't tell you enough how amazing I felt. I was literally sad & lost but the letter opened my eyes ✉️ wishing you happiness 💐

[@wandererrrrrr]

I'm glad I learned English to be able to understand this priceless content

[@INTELLIGENCE_Revolution]

I feel lost (work wise) so this is timely 🎉

[@DuclosDocuments]

Dan you really are the big brother I never had. Every word out of your mouth just rings so much truth that it stings with experience. I said it back in November when you only had 20K but you really are going to be one of the goats of my generation.

[@Sravan.Allopi]

Dan thank god for this video! I've been on a pretty good pathway towards my own goals. I aim to be similar to you in terms of having my own business and having complete control over my mind, discipline and focused on building my business in self development and fitness. The one thing I've struggled with is that lately I've hit this wall where I noticed a dip in my Instagram engagement, my home situation has been stressful this week and I started to feel panic and anger building within my mind and body. I had no idea how to get out of this rut even though I've been getting myself out of ruts before but as I watch this video I will take this in to recovering and correcting my trajectory.

[@macioluko9484]

You are the best at verbalizing succinctly that which is resistance to action. There are really no excuses to act.

[@HabitLabPodcast]

Thank you Dan! I am in the Intensity phase and this perfectly explains everything I have been through so far 😎

[@arran_elliott]

that was a good one brother. Awesome work. `Flow with chaos’ that’s powerful.

[@maplause293]

Excellent video, my friend!I have recently experienced this phase in my life for the first time, reaching a big goal then being lost. Your explanations brought me perfect clarity, Thanks!

[@mindshiftershub.]

I am commenting just so I can help the algorithm to keep showing this as much as possible! The last few viseos are really deeper and have so much food for thought, that I will need to rewatch them few times. Thank you, Dan, for everything you do for us (hopefully) future creators. :)

[@zapytaj_andrzeja]

Thank you for a new video! 💚

[@eltonsilveira101]

This is amazing! "When feeling lost, judgement increases" this is exactly what I've been noticing the past few days after completing a MAJOR goal and was puzzled by it. Thanks for putting chaotic thoughts into clear and concise words

[@nadjadavidson411]

That was a great video at the right time. I’m feeling like I have currently entered that feeling of “lostness” after working my current business for the last four years. I totally know it’s because I’m evolving but instead feel “flaky”. I’ll shift my mind, embrace it and take more walks on our wonderful beaches 😀🏖️

[@Redline6ix]

“Don’t fight with reality, flow with it”

[@fynnjackson2298]

Its a dance between the polarities of plus and minus. Its a breathing in and out of cosmic energy from the quantum into the third dimension. We see and experience it as seasons. Spring and summer (positive ) autum winter( negative) Its what the Heroes journey is, its the same simple pattern that is expressed everywhere. The spiralling of spiritual energy upwards against itself the force of entropy, each growing each learning more who they are as everything. Think in terms of magnetics.

“Until you make the subconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate”

It almost reminds me of Dead Poets Society. When Robin Williams talked about how Desiring something was more powerful than actually obtaining the desire.

It blows me how smart you are mashallah! I honestly think everything you say resonates with the Quran, Hadith. Have a look a Al Ghazili tafseer & Ibn Jawzi discipling the soul, they talk about this so well! You’re helping the modern generation very well! Hope you continue to do that and open more of your perceptive from the books❤ keep it up bro

[@doctorofdegrees]

I've experienced and worked through these things myself and I hope this overview can help others. I've found ways to do this better especially alone and with additional barriers I want to share but I don't have much audience and my current network most everyone is working through this from very precarious and challenging situations. First I think it's important to note that although lack of money or resources, safe and stable housing or place to be, connectivity and working devices, and/or people willing and able to understand and help work through things, can be an "excuse", figuring out how to access these in addition to the psychological learning/reflection/anticipation/discovery aspects can be significant challenges in themselves. With the economy in the state it's in, basically globally, and a trend of many people setting boundaries against negativity including people experiencing distress, talking through past experience and brainstorming options, and material need, and/or interpreted with labels like narcissist or borderline or depressed or experiencing psychosis or "being too idealistic" or "caring too much" and so on, the challenge takes on additional dimensions. I've found music and lyrics and a variety of content I'm working to distill helpful, and there's more and more of this that's relevant being created. Still it's worth noting this poses an informational overload and time constraint challenge especially these days. Formal education established in the 20th century and before, and likewise "mental health" and a lot of other formal services including a lot of religion based advice, doesn't tend to cover these topics well and in fact tends to convey that this figuring out, beyond whatever is considered normal by "elders", isn't "realistic" and in fact can lead to the kind of labels I outlined above, whether or not they're valid at all, and even where they might be, I see widespread assumption there's not much one can do or bad advice on how to transform the problems. Meanwhile I've found a variety of content, concepts, insights and expertise relevant to transforming all the problems leading to these categorizations, but it's scattered and figuring things out often requires piecing together insights from varied sources, in my experience. I've done a lot of this workshopping with the goal of offering more streamlined content and assistance to people and sets of people struggling with these dilemmas, however like I said I don't have much audience and I don't have access to borrowing and I'm triaging my income trying to keep a few friends/collaborators with marginally survivable circumstances while we work to figure this out from different angles. Generally, contacting people even who understand a lot based on what they've shared goes nowhere because people are busy and few people are taking as much of a meta and epistemic (study of knowledge and knowing including drawing on all these insights and understanding individual differences) approach. So even here in comments trying to sum up key aspects of this adapted to the current ways of seeing and needs of the range of people who may be reading is challenging, and the same with producing video and published text starting with close to zero audience. So much content already exists, people widely don't know what to trust beyond what they already do or what's worth giving time to dive into, and I've also experienced that as I continue to keep up on new developments and discover new people with insights and keep up with their content updates. Meanwhile I know many people dealing with these kinds of figuring out also in situations of precarity like having nowhere safe to go or only temporarily, or connected with "help" that doesn't recognize this pursuit of life beyond the mundane 20th century "getting by" which is working and worth it for fewer and fewer people. I'm interested to dialogue about these problems and opportunities further and find people to workshop content relevant to all this with. Anyone seeing similar and/or wanting to collaborate on it as so many are fleeing the 20th century paradigms?
