The way George delves into Eastern philosophy and applies it to modern relationships is so insightful. I love how he shares his personal experiences and ties them into actionable principles we can all apply in our own lives. It's like taking a journey through self-discovery and growth together. Thanks for this video

Even there is a way to find moderation humility compassion to yourself as I just figured those ideas. 💡

You are doing a great job dude , good luck for future ..😄👍

Thank you!!

[@mariac5942]

Wow! I'm so pleased to see you recommend nvc :) it's a peaceful way that keeps us both true and connected. It has been my passion in the last years... I have been following your work in the past and it's good to come back to your channel and listening to your sharing

Growing together in a relationship is important as well as celebrating our differences and learning from each other.

[@lexluong8155]

Learning of Tao is that things are ever changing try not to cling to things. Everything changs our parents, spouse and kids. Learn to accept and go with the flow.

[@fishschtick8985]

Wonderful video! Thank you, George, for the work you put in to bring these Taoist lessons to people. I discovered Taoism 4 years ago during a difficult time in my life and I’ve been trying to grow with the Tao ever since. You’re an awesome and helpful resource!

[@George-Thompson]

You're awesome!

[@ElunearaStarsong]

Great video! Thank you. Made me pick up my Tao The Ching again :) Bless!

[@aislinmorgan1582]

Thx a lot...this video resonates with me very strongly. At the first principle "I meet myself there, where I am right now. I allow the people to meet me there, where I am right now". This light me up and definetly a motivation to integrate this principle into my life. Very deep. The others inspirates me so much as well I want to work with them more again. The universe leads me again to the ancient east philosophies, which I can understand better, where I am standing right now. Thanks a lot, dear George...this video was an eye-opener again.

Great person, great video!

[@marinac5255]

Great video George. Even if you were not funny, you would still be an awsome person. You have a lovely and authentic presence and it's only a matter of time before that right person finds you!

[@George-Thompson]

thanks Marinac!

[@kevgoes]

I do believe that meeting everyone with kindness is a good practice. One I can be better at for sure. In case of a romantic interest, some like it when we are different to them. It shows them that they are special and that we think they are worth raising our game for. Sometimes they even like it when they can see you trying and you make silly mistakes in the process. It lets them know that you think they are worth trying for and that their not just another person in your eyes. At least this is what I have found in my experience. Thanks for another enlightening video!

[@George-Thompson]

Thanks for your thoughts Kev!

[@MartinKPettersson]

Interesting insights and fun concept to combine present-day relationships with ancient wisdom :)

[@George-Thompson]

So glad you enjoyed!

[@andybalogh2252]

This video inspired me to color code warrior father and sage. The warrior is forest green because they are the element of wood if anyone knows the element of wood. Fathers are olive green because a father is a man that can say o'lve you and it's a shade closer to sage. You're wearing all three! 😁💚💚💚 i love you, George!

[@George-Thompson]

haha much love - olive green is one of my favourites ;)

[@peterpaulparker]

I love this. I use integrity, which is why I am careful with what I promise. I use diligence, because it is important to be aware of all of your actions. I am courteous, because it is important to be kind to everyone I meet. And I try to release the negative aspects of security, recognition and control. I trained with Korean masters and they see the same things but teach it with slightly different words. I feel the most important thing about all of this is to be you, because there is nothing in this world that has enough money or technology to actually create you, or be able to share your own personal experiences. Thanks for sharing George. I am in a relationship for 25 years now, and have forgotten what it is like to be single. But I am sure your life is so full of love. Big respect to you. :)

Beautiful words Peter thank you!

Thank you!

[@hiyeena3365]

I am grateful for your advice and will do my best to improve my relationship with my little brother. I got angry at him and I couldn’t help but feel as if what he did was wrong or unfair - my ego or chimp brain was taking over. I don’t like to be this way and so told my brother of the pain I felt. I think I will choose compassion from now on but recognise the journey that ahead of me - the path of which I will deviate from, from time to time. Ahh life 😂

[@George-Thompson]

hehe this human incarnation is full of challenge

Hi George nothing to do with the video but I’m trying to learn more about Taoism gods and religions Taoism any help on where I can? 🙏

[@trillium9992]

I very much enjoy your content. It has been very helpful for me. I’d like to pass on a recommendation for something else that’s been helpful for me, which has been the Enneagram. I relate to a lot of your same struggles and am a type 1. Maybe that could be a place to start if you wanted to explore it further. Cheers.

[@George-Thompson]

I've heard a lot about the Enneagram but haven't explored yet!

[@A.T._FIELD]

2:00 i dont understand, my TTC says so different: Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu - chapter 44 "Which means more to you - Health or wealth? What matters more - Fame or your true name? Which gives more pain - Loss or gain? The more we love something, The more it will cost. The bigger the treasure, The more will be lost. Contentment keeps disgrace away, Knowing when to stop keeps danger at bay"

[@anavs2008]

Many translations of the same book. Each translator worked from their own understanding of the meaning, of the symbolism in the language and just their different personalities, so we get different results for the same source

[@George-Thompson]

This chapter was the Stephen Mitchell interpretation :)

Stop it! You're completely loveable! What am I hearing? You're going to find her, or vice versa, she will find you George! You're such a beautiful, bright soul! That girl, whoever she is, I hope she feels it is an honor to marry you bc it would be!!! You are amazing, don't worry so much. Effortless action? 11:23 is was my dad's birthday and that's when you really made a lot of sense to me. Much needed. Thanks friend!

[@jreadswell904]

I don’t think it’s him. There appears to be a large dating crisis, particularly impacting his age group. Chris Williamson works hard on his podcast Modern Wisdom to get behind the causes and what can be done. Some researches believe Social Media has created to many options. If George dates a cute girl she will probably be aware that there are multiple guys approaching her daily.

[@liz090833]

@@jreadswell904 I feel like social media really comes down to the user. It can amplify the wrong message sometimes. But with George, I think it's going to come down to finding someone as committed to learning and a life well lived as he is, someone who shares that same excitement and passion for the knowledge he's been gifted with Master Gu. There's a lot of things intersecting culturally too, like you mentioned that there are imbalances in available partners and I am certain we have all heard about the birth rate trending down too.. I am not saying that the dating world via social media is not without major issues. I'm just saying that George stands a pretty good chance of finding a great girl if that's what he wants. He's well read, empathetic, curious, a gentleman, cute too. He's going to be alright out here, I have no doubt. ❤️😀
