Do you miss the past Elliott?

In this video, Elliott explores the folly of clinging to the past, even during moments of past glory, using his own life journey as an example. He discusses the stages of life, likening them to climbing hills and mountains, and emphasizes the importance of embracing change and growth. Elliott encourages viewers to acknowledge their current stage in life, be it as a warrior, king, or elder, and to understand that each phase offers valuable lessons and opportunities for personal development.

i still think you created the term "being/becoming the best version of yourself", heard it from you a decade + ago, time passed, today i hear it from everyone.

[@breatheeasily4013]

Facts

[@CrackedZac]

True. He may have gottan it from someone else in a book he read or something but he definitely popularized it.

[@MindfulBodybuilding]

Yeah he definitely popularized it after he did it heard people like infinite waters say it haha and I started shouting it into the void online after too😂

[@controlrod81]

This is true just reading this and I been out of work for over 10 years and I was watching his videos He did come up with the turm Be the best version of your self

My ex-fiance leaving me was the catalyst for God to bring me to the underworld and reveal His love to me in a profound way. The past 2 years, coming back to the faith, have been massively transformational and I do my very best to no longer live for myself. I seek to serve the Will of the Father, and in doing so, He's abundantly pouring out blessings and favour upon me and showing me my true calling in this life. Praise the Lord.

[@tylergates4075]

Amen

[@ryankapalczynski748]

I have very similar story. Ex fiance leaving. And God showing me the way once again. Amen brother stay on that path, there is no better path.

[@jaredbangerter8156]

Praise God

[@shakotlokman]

Wow. It was like I was reading a journal entry, brother. Bless you and lets go above and beyond to fulfil our potential.

[@mdguitar00]

Serious question: how do you go about serving him? How do you know his purpose for you? Thanks mate.

[@nicolasd8571]

You trade high views and popularity over inner peace and be the REAL you. That´s a win Elliott. Thanks for your videos. Saludos desde Argentina!

[@ke1tor]

Lost my job and not long after wife said she wanted to separate. As I'm in my 40's I can relate to that valley. So I'm in my katabasis on the way up that mountain to grab that crown. Lost a lot of weight, in better physical shape than I've been in years. Furthered my education, got a new job. Eyes on the prize.

[@bewater8417]

Classic woman. They are beautiful devils. But increasing age humbles them all.

[@emmanuelwolfmusic410]

Our nostalgia is deep with this channel, and it's a part of growing, but it's because we've grown with you on your journey and yearn to learn it all again.

[@Badkhela]

Elliott, well i used to watch a whole lot of your vids back in my "warrior" days as you call it. Im just so pleased to see a fellow brother thats truly found himself serving a greater purpose. I can resonate with you once again. Glad i found you again as well after all these years. Keep up the great work brother.

[@clinton2935]

GOAT🐐🐐. This man is an OG in this KZbin game. You've taught me alot through the years brother!! And im gracefully for it.

[@GoldenEraBookworm]

Dear Elliott, this has been a channel that I have always considered a go to for any man. I have been watching it since you began in the early 2000s. I have always considered you as an older brother, the older brother I never had, "who just told it as it is", and it has been wonderful to watch you change and evolve as a human being, regardless of what some people think or would want you to be. This video is truly eye opening, as it summarises your whole life, its "ups and downs". In many ways, it parallels what has happened to me recently. Over the last two years I had faced a wall that I refused to see, and it affected me in such a way, that the more I refused, the more it destroyed my body. The wall manifested itself into a physical one, so that the more I clashed with it, the more it broke me down, to a point where my doctors were literally begging me to leave this "place" I had put myself in. I was in a wheel chair at one point, with incredible pain, IBS, blind in one eye, asthmatic, with signs of autoimmune disease and almost died at one point. It was life telling me to let go, to let go of the past. Like you I had reached the top in my field of medical science, but I fell into Katabasis, and I refused to reinvent myself. Only now that I have learnt to let go and healed, have I finally seen my acceptance turn into a new and exciting chapter in my life, one in which I look forward to. I am climbing this new peak, a giant one, and like you, using my experiences and knowledge I have gained in the past, I plan to conquer it, and become KING. God Speed my Brother. Sincerely, Carlos

[@user-lh4hv3tx8b]

I remember first watching you when I was 17 or 18 and listened to you all the way through college. It's crazy how much time has passed, but you somehow provide a sense of clarity whenever these videos come around.

[@jzen1455]

I’m 40 and have been bitch slapped a few times in my 30s. Those were great learning experiences that helped me to adjust, adapt, and change course as best as I can. Slowing down in old age sucks, but it’s just part of life. No sense in lamenting it and bitterly longing for something that will never be. I don’t long for the “gold ol’ days” and just keep comparing current myself to my potential self as I keep maximizing my potential. Everyone has their unique journeys with some thriving more than others. If I keep comparing myself to others, I will never ever be content with who I am because there will always be someone ahead in every aspect of life I can imagine. I’m currently the strongest and most muscular I’ve ever been (I was a late bloomer) with more room for lifting PRs and muscle development. I’ve regressed socially a tad during the pandemic, but I’m making gradual inroads on that.

[@SkazwalkerMusic]

It's better to focus on the present and future, but our past is always part of who we are. Just "Breath into your balls". Thank you for your years of valuable content Elliot.

[@soioioioioioio34]

Yeah don't pay attention to the past so that it can repeat itself. 😂

[@sandmancesar]

I’m crying and laughing man, this is your best video yet. I saw you through it all, and that you can stand there and say what you just said while representing exactly that, having that image in my head of all your previous stages. It’s beautiful, it’s a piece of art. You did it man, that’s true wisdom. Deeper than anything you would’ve been able to say in your golden KZbin years.

[@jondragon8991]

Elliott, the friend I've needed over and over again .. Thank you brother.

[@publicalias8172]

Better than ever Elliott. Thanks for being you, and sharing your journey.

[@ProdicleSon.]

Elliot I have watched your channel since 2017 and have always enjoyed your videos from the “past”. I’ve also been watching your channel through your seasons of ups and downs, and comparing your experiences with mine I can definitely say I agree with everything you say on this video. Life is constant ups and down, seasons of pain and suffering to seasons of love and joy. There’s no point getting stuck on one certain time in your life where everything was going well, because that was just part of a season and you’ve got many more to experience. If you’re always looking back at the past you’re not living enough in the present.

[@maxwillson]

I use to miss the past but now that I've changed carriers, I look forward to the future. I don't dread Mondays anymore. It's never too late to change jobs and do something totally different and new.

[@patbrown463]

I grew up with you bro. It isn't natural to stay the same.

[@jzen1455]

We can’t be the high-revving young buck forever. Age slows and tames us. To try in vain to hold onto the glory days is a fools errand that will lead to extreme resentment and disappointment. I’ve learned long ago to accept the cycles of life as a long-time reader of Stoicism and other philosophies that talk about accepting reality for what it is and not for what it ought to be but will never be. I know people who claim they “still got it” in their 40s to 60s while they live in a world of delusion and emptiness.

[@shakotlokman]

I felt so much resonance and love in my heart as I watched this, I almost cried. Thank you for creating such relatable and valuable content, brother.

[@neverl8630]

I can relate to this. I used to watch Elliot 10 years ago and prior. He always seemed relatable and gave great advice. I still fall back on some of the things he used to say. I just stumbled onto his videos today after years of not seeing any from him. It always seemed like a better time back then. And im glad Elliot aged like i did. Sometimes you feel like the only one getting older.

[@wannabe_crotchety363]

I haven't been keeping up with your videos over the past few years. I found myself watching some YO Elliott videos for 9-10yrs ago last week which landed me here today. Watching your videos years ago inspired me. I competed in powerlifting and strongman, took up mountaineering, bought multiple properties, had a daughter..my highest grossing years...then I tore my meniscus in 2020 (31yrs old)... took off for surgery and before I could go back to work received a call that I lost my job of 10yrs. I floundered for the last couple years (self employed and not in the physical shape I once was)wishing for my late 20s...but this year I've felt that I've begun to find footing and confidence in my businesses. I have the desire to get in better shape...this video really hit all the key notes for me. I feel like I did watching your videos when I was in my mid 20s... inspired and ready to achieve.

[@lupe103344522]

Damn this changed my whole perspective. You still got bro. You’re a legend

[@stevecobain5479]

I remember these old videos, and The past elliot has such a commending voice and presence, it intimidates me and made me want to fight him just to prove myself that im no b1tch.

[@jzen1455]

Yo Elliot, I think it’s awesome you have realistic expectations about the passage of time. Instead of trying in vain to hold onto the glory days, you have set realistic expectations and goals that allow you to experience eudaemonia into old age. I know too many people trying in vain grasping at their youth as their resentments and bitterness grows in their shallow empty lives.

[@ManTalk93]

I wouldn't say I miss the ol' E per se. I appreciate what younger Elliot brought to the world and it got me through some tough times. What I do miss are these style of videos!!!! I'm glad to see em back. YO, ELLIOT! You da man 🤘💪

[@z3nxxx]

It’s still surreal how we will end up becoming old and eventually gone. We must appreciate life while we can.

[@JerZeyFiveOh]

Hey Elliot, long-time subscriber here, I've been watching you on/off since you started when I was in college. My valley was sickness a few years after I got married, lost a ton of weight and muscle mass, it was an eye-opening experience knowing that I can't fix everything in my own strength. Now that I am married with young son I feel that I am in the King stage. I am a believer in Jesus and He impressed in my spirit that I have to trust him through thick and thin. God Bless brother, good to see you still going hard on this platform in different ways.

[@MyS0ngList]

Nothing like coming home from work, booting up the desktop, and watching hours of yo Elliott and open gym and going and trying new workouts the next morning. Your channel inspired me in many ways

[@metapatriot]

Thanks Elliott , I will be 65 in a couple of months I feel I am right on track although according to your chart a late bloomer. I must say in my case your chart is perfectly accurate and I actually enjoyed my "katabasis" like an informative challenge. physically, materially it seems I am half way up from the katabasis but mentally, spiritually I am feeling all stages at once right now , perhaps the very process is evolving in this age we are living in.

[@BerserkNBA]

I havent even finished the video but the accuracy of what you said is pinpoint. Very relatable for me atm, thanks for the wisdom coach

[@immigrationadviser4711]

Elliot is referring to “dark night of soul” where you encounter the hidden/repressed aspects of your phycology which you either denied or were pushed back in your childhood or early teens. You need to face, accept and integrate with your dark side in order to transition from Warrior to King.

[@stuartsmith4677]

Awesome video man. The most important thing is that you keep learning, keep growing & prevent yourself from stagnating. It's hard, it's a struggle but ultimately it's a life-long journey to growth & wisdom.

[@serj6316]

Damn Elliott that was one of the best video's you've put out in a while. You have been blessed with the ability to seek the truth and being able to look deep inside yourself asking yourself who you are and who you really want to be and become. This life is a wild roller coaster...

[@Guilherme-ms3ub]

Thank you Eliot for your channel. You are a source of wisdom.I would like to have friends like you here in Brazil.

[@Brofessorben1017]

Another amazingly valuable masterpiece. ❤️‍🔥

[@Chowderchefu]

Love the new lectures man, would love more on bioenergetics/jungian concepts, if possible since you briefly touched upon the shadow aspect in this video, thanks for providing the daily content. Amazing Quality stuff man, love this new wave you're on 👍

[@rickynunez3109]

Elliott i remember year ago in a video you said that life is like a river going down stream and we are in a canoe and we are having life experiences going down the river flow. sometimes we meet people or end up in nice areas we enjoy and we want to hang on to that we tend to get attached and the more we try to go against the river flow in the past the more we suffer in the present. we have to learn to let go and trust that we will end up where we are meant to be.

[@lewishorsewell8852]

I was on top of the world at 35. Making 30k a month, beautiful wife, new baby, big house and 2 cars. At 40, I lost my job, my wife left me and I was living alone in a tiny house. Best thing that ever happened to me. I got in shape and started flipping houses. Im now 47, I am still single - by choice. Own 4 houses, great relationship with my kids, I am currently within the top 5% in my world (in my age group) at the Crossfit Open. Never give up men. Use the darkness and rebuid. Good luck brothers

[@NBl-qw8cg]

This is so accurate for my life. You're a legend king Elliot

[@stonewietsma4939]

It feels like you were talking to me great video currently in the katabiss phase

[@A1Avishek]

Very insightful Ellitott and gives me a lot of perspective. I am increasingly becoming aware of the parts that I am casting off to fit into what the world is telling me I should be. This video is a great message that I must account for all of it some day and take them back

[@NikolaTeslaEE]

I bought your Lean Hybrid Muscle program right when it came out. That was so long ago. You and Mike Westerdal created it. I started flipping tires and doing farmers carries because of you. Peace.

[@Soul-my1sk]

Love you Elliott! With ya always!

[@Wukuy]

Found you in my early 20s, you gave solid advice then. Now Im in my 30s and I needed this talk. Thanks a lot.

[@MikeMasondo1632]

This is very imformative , speak to my current situation .im glad i came across this video

[@malik32345]

I like the graph you drew at the beginning. I've been through several different phases in life. And I just realized having a full life, a purpose, positive mindset, healthy finances, healthy body and healthy relationships as well as a good spirit is what is important. The women, cars, and all that really don't care about to much. Only because for the cars I'm not fitting in luxury cars due to my height, and as for women just found that having a pure likeminded mentally mature lady brings peace which is what love produces rather then just letting your lust control you. And when you have kids, family, and your community looking up to you it feels good to be an example of something other then what is easy. Also keeps you humble with a healthy ego that leads to you having a healthy self image that is connected to something that's bigger then you. Because even if your body is wounded or your mind. Your self image won't take a hit if its intertwined in helping others win, or whatever your purpose is.

[@ollieewin4757]

This is some what where I’m at, I’m embarking on the same journey again, but this time with more wisdom, I’ve had to drop my ego on being all these exciting sides of me I found for now because I was simply skipping steps and couldn’t even take full advantage of what I had when I got it

[@SpontaneityJD]

You still got it indeed... You are a legend❤

[@JeremyNoelJohnson]

Great video and very accurate to the journey of a man in life.

[@WisdomIsPrecious]

I really appreciate you doing this talk, I needed that. Oh, and I totally agree with you on not just going to popularity. As a rap conossieur I’ve learned long ago that the most popular people are NOT necessarily the best . Plus, I’m an awesome person and I’m not that popular. Everyone likes me when I was a football star but I never really identified with that now that I myself nobody gives a shit about me and I like it that way.

[@catalin8818]

Thank you for this!

[@wp699]

While I loved your og Yo elliot and Strength camp videos, I also love your evolution into a strong catholic patriarch who pioneers morals in a corrupt world. Sometimes in your more recent advice videos- I feel as though you are speaking directly to me almost. Thank you for your contributions to youtube and helping young men.

[@adamjar]

I'm happy to see you again Elliot

[@nomo4u886]

Dope video you’re a seasoned vet now

[@JPR22]

I feel like im in a katabasis midway through the warrior phase the whole of my mid 20s without finding the top of that moutain yet. I experienced that death of ego and the lower self at the end of the knight phase before I even attempted to direct the warrior so its always given me existential issues of how or where to put my awareness into, to ground myself while seeing through the physical plane but now im at my lowest point still holding that higher self spiritual awareness. Very challenging when I dont feel like I've lived yet

[@sorrysirmygunisoneba]

Fantastic video, love this kind of content. Very valuable

[@Samsaraindo]

At 40, I am in that valley and have been for the last 3 years almost. 22-36 was an incredible time of growth and achievement, but since about 2021 my life has been full of stumbling blocks.
