The School of Life since I went through a traumatic false accusation by an ex-girlfriend a year ago, your videos have taught me to do the little things that have all compiled in this video. Thank you so much :)

[@PurpleDingoPress]

Almost 3 years ago, the worst did come to the worst for me. I lost everything - my job, most of my friends, my partner, and much of my family; some to death, some because I finally understood that they were abusive, and that much of my unhappiness originated from them. I've spent the last 3 years piecing my life back together, which included moving to a new city and getting a couple of jobs doing what I love. Now, I'm more capable of happiness than I've ever been, and I owe it partly to having my life destroyed unfairly, and part to my own wisdom and determination in getting through it the right way, without burning out, relying on drugs and alcohol, or going down any other self-destructive path. I can confirm everything said in this video is true. Everything...because it's exactly what happened to me.

If the worst came to the worst , I would turn youtube on this channel , watch one of it's videos , listen to the calm narrative voice of Alain de button ,and realize that life is worth living after all ,and that I’m not alone in my suffering .

[@lloydwaycott8178]

If you can still access youtube, and find comfort in it, the worst hasn't really come to the worst.

[@AMomentousMori]

Reminds me of a Dostoyevsky quote: _"Man is a creature that can get accustomed to anything, and I think that is the best definition of him."_ So yeah, we probably can cope with the worst if we wished to. And another thing I tell myself when faced with a flurry of problems: Problems will never cease being problems, but over time those problems always seem less problematic. So as we keep living, even "the worst" would eventually lose its most bothersome effects.

[@valeriadasletras2406]

In 2007 my husband was diagnosed with a rare type of lung cancer, not very aggressive, but a big shock anyway. I was in the last week of pregnancy, 2nd child. He had surgery and survived. 3 ys. later our little girl was playing with me and “discovered” a lump in my right breast, aggressive cancer. I had all sorts of treatments 18 long months. It was incredibly hard to cope with many losses (body parts and strength, family members and friends who didn’t help, jobs and money), but I can say “if the worst comes to the worst” we’ll manage it again, we are still alive, we have each other and our wonderful kids, and that’s what counts for us! Hope telling about our experience can help someone in need, take a deep breath and fight!

[@layercakearts]

Becoming terminally ill has brought freedom and liberation and a release of chronic worrying. My only regret is that I didn't learn this years ago. If I had to do it over again I would have realized that fully enjoying our human embodiment is a great joy in this lifetime, and I wouldn't have become derailed by doing what was expected of me, I would have become the blissfully poor artist I am now, quite a bit earlier in life instead of the corporate slave I was at the peak of my earnings. Basically I wouldn't have taken life so seriously. I missed the point entirely.

[@KyanneSummer]

Layer Cake Arts its human nature with 10000% conditioning. Please don’t regret anything forgive yourself again and again. U deserve it. ❤️

[@Teffi_Club]

You are beautiful and enlightened! I'm very sorry to hear about your illness. I don't know if it gives you consolation, but many people die without this realization. I'm not sure if there's life after our phisical death, but it's better to be serene now and not to think about the waisted years of life. Namaste.

[@Alianemi]

Layer Cake Arts I'll treasure your words

[@TheBrainFlow]

Hey, I did the opposite. I INSISTED in having the life I dreamed of when I was young. A life in the arts. I had all the help to become the best in whatever I wanted as long as it wasn’t in the arts. Best universities, no need to work while attending it, every comfort one could ever hope for. I threw that all away in search of fulfillment in the arts. I find myself now without money, no career in the arts, not knowing what to do with my life as art was all I ever wanted and how I understand life, feeling like a failure, suicidal, and absolutely lost in how to move forward since I dropped out of university to pursue my art. I think life is unpredictable. To a few hundreds, art (in my case, acting) has worked out. Some through merit, most by nepotism and the possibility to exercise upscale ($$$) networking. I couldn’t know I was going to fail, I just knew the chances were high and I gambled my entire life and mental health on it. The other path would’ve made me feel less unfitting, odd, unworthy, but I’m very sure it wouldn’t have made me fulfilled or happy. It’s hard to measure and criticise our choices in life. We do what we feel we must do and all we can try is to learn to understand the answers these choices are giving to us. I hope you’re happier now. 🙏❤️

[@MzVixen05]

I’m deeply sorry that a terminal illness was the impetus for this change in your life, but I’m happy nonetheless that you stumbled upon this realisation. Much love and strength to you💛

[@thegossipswan009]

We are all suffering in our own way. Yet we manage to cope all of our sadness with a certain optimism or hope for a better tomorrow. That's how i understand the concept of cheerful despair. We carry our burden with a smile on our face.

I recently came out of the psych ward after a second attempt at suicide with overdosing on pills including Klonopin and Effexor. This video articulates what I have been trying to remind myself since my last suicide attempt in 2016. I learned that if the worst came to the worst every single day of my life, I would still manage to keep going and begin again a grand adventure with a bemused smuggler's grin. I've been to the other side of the mountain top, and that's the truth I found

[@guilhermemarques4963]

My friend, could you please elaborate on how you felt an urge for a second attempt at suicide? I've heard that surviving a suicide attempt usually makes one realize how they actually want to live and can solve their painful problems, but it seems like it was not what happened to you.

[@YourLobsterSalad]

Whoever came up with the idea for this video, I'd like to thank you personally for doing so as this was exactly what I needed to cope with what I'm going through.

Likewise.. I lost my grandmother, a woman who was an integral part of my life, and I repressed the pain of her leave.

[@pashapetrosyan7336]

[@utubefreshie]

I feel you! This has been by far the worst year of my life health-wise. Got diagnosed w a chronic pain illness that only progressively gets worse, my partner left because he was afraid he'd have to take care of me, almost lost my job, and am far away from all the significant people in my life that matter. So I can relate in some way. I feel the same and feel it with you. Such is the human condition. Im surprised Im still standing but I am. I guess it's true what they say: What doesn't kill us will only make us stronger. And if I may add some dark humor...if whatever it is does end up killing us then at least that would be the end of our suffering in this world! So either way, I guess the point is to try not let anything get to you. It's easier said than done though.

[@Wizardley]

Imagine this, one day life is rolling along just great, lots of business and making people happy as I have in the music business for 40+ years.....Then, a virus comes in and next thing you know the government closes everyone of our 300+ clubs across China on January 23rd....Then imagine that X 30....Then think of all people supplying and servicing you.....gone, Taxis gone, deliveries....gone.

I have always thought about worst case scenarios as a way to protect myself from shock, disappointment, betrayal and overwhelming sadness. However, I had never contemplated past this point, I speculated how I would fall but not how to rise. This video not only listens to me, but also gives comforting answers,it help me move on. Thank you The School of Life for always being there to assure me that I am not going crazy, but I am just being a human who is both blessed, and cursed with a mind that wonders a lot.

[@chandrikav9197]

[@AndraRX]

In my opinion this is one of the best videos I've seen on youtube. First time I watched it I was so anxious about my grandma dying, and she did 6 days later, after a long illnes. All that anxiety did nothing to help me cope with this great loss, but I was so happy at her funeral, knowing that her suffering is over. And now, after more than a year, I can only be grateful for everything and everyone that touched my heart, one being your channel. Thank you.

[@ladabe4979]

My grandfather passed last year. My grandmother has dementia, and now can't eat solid foods and is on her way out as well. I have a large family. 10 aunts and uncles on my mom's side, the same on my father's. 80 cousins (mom's side) 43 (dad's side). 42 nephews and nieces (moms side), 39 (dad's side). We all live close, between 3 neighboring towns. When my grandpa died, which I understood and took as a natural part of life, the foundation that held our family together shattered. Infighting between the siblings has torn us all apart. What was once a strong family bond is now separation and everyone struggling to keep it together. I've had my trials and tribulations which I've been able to overcome but the last year and a half have been tough since I'm not the only one affected. I try to keep everyone together through diplomacy and relishing the good memories of the past in hopes that it'll work as glue to the family, but fail. I see my younger family members starting to lose that innocence and optimism I had when I was their age and feel helpless in preserving that all while trying to find my own path and purpose in this world. I'm 26, with the burden of responsibility of a family on my shoulder, 2 younger sisters and mother since my father walked out on us soon after I graduated high school. By no means am I complaining, nor am I calling out woe is me, instead just sharing my story in my neck of the woods. In the last year, I've had to counsel 3 of my cousins from committing suicide, all the while fighting away the demons that try to bring me to do the same, knowing the worst is yet to come. I'm blessed to make enough money to live slightly comfortable, but feel lost and without purpose due to my past dreams of what a successful life is, dulls away each day that passes. Death is an absolute, time waits for nobody. I'll continue to stay committed to being the rock that keeps us bounded to the foundation that once kept us strong and together. Thank you for this video, it couldn't have come at a better time for me. I'd like to hear your stories of triumph over tragedy in hopes of learning new lessons in overcoming obstacles, present and future. Peace 🤙

[@cokestealer5691]

LaDabe you're an amazing person. I hope I can be strong as you someday ☺

[@ladabe4979]

Anime Lover thanks bro that means a lot. I look up to others as well and wish the same. I try to do my part. I try to be a role model for the younger kids, I watch my words and actions around them to set an example. Take them places I never experienced when I was there age. And babysit my grown cousins around my age when they're drunk and rowdy. I go through a lot but keep my thoughts and feelings to myself, and express my emotions through KZbin comments in hopes that someone would compliment me just like you did, or share their experience to help me grow. As of now, I can't show weakness. I truly thank you for your kind words brutha.

[@cokestealer5691]

LaDabe No problem (I'm a girl btw) Since you poured your struggle, It's only fair i do the same.I've never worked well under pressure and I've had PTSD and anxiety issues for a long time. I've already finished my first year in university. I never had any role models in my life. I'm introverted and i struggle to put myself out there. I struggle to keep friends. I'm not someone who needs money (though it's important for stability) I just want to be happy.

[@rikzzr7664]

Anime Lover are you me in the parallel universe. My experience is just the same, word to word, except for PTSD. I am in my second year of University. I hope you get better soon and live your life to the fullest with all your desires turning to reality. Take therapy, if you need. It may help a great deal.

[@talkingthoughts7595]

The narrator sounds and feels like a sage to me. This video is infinitely full of wisdom. I am recovering from depression and this is so reassuring having had five years of digging and scratching. Friends and family failed at critical times, symptoms were taken as behavior and weakness despite vital and roles I have played in other's lives and still play. My recovery accelerated after I detached and distanced myself from most of my family members. Now I gratefully savor every day that passes without sad events or unpleasant memories. This video will validate and enrich my resolve to move forward in life in healthy and practical ways. I love that the video ended with prayer for PEACE.

[@peacewillow]

excellent video.... as someone who has endured the worst many times (death of my mom at 17, death of my only child in infancy, death of my husband/soul mate far too soon, homelessness, despair, the loss of everything dear to me), i can attest that most of this is true. as for how i've endured, well, i don't know. people call me strong but i don't always feel that way. having a reason to go on is important, as is the desire not to hurt anyone by simply copping out or giving up. if you are still alive, there is a reason. find it. 💕

[@TheWarkilla]

I didn't feel like catching the message of this video, until my depression got bad enough to make me attempt suicide and, after getting out luckily, attending Psychotherapy. It is my first proper therapy and I only realize now, how delusional I was and how much one can appreciate simple things in life like sleep or good food. I can relate to the video now more than ever, because I had my personal worst; and, with the things mentioned, my friends and family now give me the chance to show them how precious these things are, as I'm working on becoming my best! Thank you, School of Life

[@Tia-Marie]

I found my mum’s body in my house at age 16, and I think after that I’ve pretty much always felt I can cope. Any time I think of something existentially gripping, I already know what my unthinkable felt like and I got through it. When I die, I shall be dead the worst is never living without feeling a moment of real contentment. Suffering is necessary cause it made my life interesting.

[@phoenixprivate2977]

I had twins at a pound and a half twenty years ago. My son is multiply disabled but has lived in a private residential community since he was nine. My daughter has struggled with her own issues. My piece of shit husband left when they were four and tried to interfere and lash out for over a decade. I do volunteer work , changed the type of cases I work on and did music lessons and dinner every week with my daughter. Now that I’m empty nesting I have much more time for self care and reflection. Your perspective changes for the better and is a little warped. I seek joy in the moments and the peace I can build around me. My life wasn’t what I dreamed hoped or envisioned but I did my best. Music , a sunset , the ballet , the lakefront , friends , these are things that bring me peace. Nothing is worse than watching your children suffer.

[@haidengeary8277]

I am not sure when people started to become so open about how they feel. Maybe they always have been, and I am just noticing. Well, I noticed back in 2015 or so. It is amazing how willing some are to not fearing having such talks about their own problems, when they hear you first. The idea of being physically ill absolutely terrifies me. Somehow I managed to not end my life when I was so deeply depressed. Tho, most turned their back on me, I no longer communicate with family, save for my mother. If/when I get physically ill, I am not sure I would have the strength to go on, or even the desire. Having never been really physically ill, just mentally, makes me feel guilty. But then I did not want to be depressed, or have panic attacks as often as I did, but still....

[@RednBlack-m5q]

[@madelynsmith2265]

1 and 30 minutes ago my grandmother passed away in hospital. That was the worst coming to the worst,I guess... My way to cope with it is to live the moment. In the moment there is no pain and defenility now I don't want to think what will come next because is too overwhelming. Enjoy every moment how do you prefer guys because you never know what will come next; maybe something good,maybe something bad. For me definetely something bad.

[@disgusttt4087]

Yeah, it's actually really good to realize that we become ourselves when we have nothing to loose (like when we are alone). We are purely ourselves when we are alone because no one's going to judge us and to know that makes me understand my goals in life (because I can tell my family don't like my goals and I'm never really "me" around them, so when I''m alone, I can reflect about me instead of trying to impress someone) Anyway, thanks for the video, ya made me think :)

I can finally say a School of Life video came into my life exactly when I needed it.

[@PolishBehemoth]

This video speaks so much truth. Inofyen do find myself worrying about the worst. Then I work out at the gym, and talk toy gf and realize things are ok in life. This video makes me think no matter what things will be ok.

[@iu.lia.na.]

I've been really stressed lately. Needed this. Thank you!

[@Austin-ch5cj]

I didn't realize ALL of these until I checked into inpatient. Only for three days but that was plenty of time to realize and accept all of them so I could start moving forward from my seemingly endless depression.

[@ht-oo5xc]

I wish I didn't have to sleep so I could watch the school of Life forever.

[@paradoxpride8718]

I cant even describe how happy seeing this made me you guts pumped it out right when the realization that I've hit my worst of worst with outside factors and my own internal problems and recent diagnoses really had me thinking back on the one of the greatest question of life. Thank you thank you so much.

[@Mariadelabahia]

This channel has taught me so much - this time, that there is so much to be learned from adversity and thus it mustn’t be feared. Thank you

[@bigMACDavey]

OMG! "Cheerful Despair" What kind of a message is that?!! It feels like Grandpa just drifted off and started talking to little Johnny about being buried alive.

[@bigMACDavey]

'maybe I'll hit the propeller as I fall off the stern and tumble toward the freezing dark water' I cheerfully thought aloud. Little Johnny's eyes froze and his jaw hung lifelessly as though he was already being dragged from the icy water.

[@bigMACDavey]

But don't despair! What other little boy is allowed to go swimming right after dinner?!!!

[@bigMACDavey]

'The riots are like a huge street party where everyone is having as much fun as possible' said Grandpa to little Johnny.

[@bigMACDavey]

'It's just a badge we're sewing on your jacket because we are all stars. And how often do you get to ride on trains?' Grandpa asked little Johnny. 'Things were getting boring around here anyway!'

[@tracesprite6078]

That's a wonderful meditation on survival and well-being in a crisis.

[@Pixel1962]

One of the best things about KZbin, are videos like this...

[@LuciaLanderRodriguez]

This is so true... Actually there are plenty of practices part of what is called "the perennial philosophy" that train the initiated into facing the worst that comes go the worst in order to overvome their fears, access to altered states of mind and move forward into the path of realization

[@vvvbingsu]

on of my favorite videos so far. simple and truthful

[@georgiana1754]

Gloriously uplifting

[@Mindseas]

What a stunning video, though here one might grow accustomed to it. Indeed, life is but a blip, and what truly matters is we make the most out of it, with love, and empathy, both towards ourselves and towards others. Thank you The School of Life

[@rnnrmsc]

Thank you so much for this. I always have low self esteem. It has been hard to see my self worth from time to time. This really gave me another prospective of how to cope and think whenever something bad happens

[@sharonthe]

Much more important then talking about happiness! It even made me feel optimistic. (hello from Israel)

[@radhikaravikumar9349]

Love this so much! Turns out, thinking about the worst that could happen is calming. Thank you for this perspective.

[@iloveyoufor10000years]

I just remind myself that bad things already happened to me and what is happening or what is going to happen is just repetition and i’ve already conquered whatever it is i’m going against in the past and nothing can stop me from conquering it again 💪

[@sofiaalbarran7213]

This one brought me to tears. Thank you for your beautiful work

[@purplewave9492]

Loads of things have happened, have gone from 1-12, its beautiful and purifying, I'll turn 19 in 7 months, and I hope life has more roller coaster rides for me

[@talkingthoughts7595]

Dear purple wave, you're so young. Though your words are few, they suggest strength and courage. You have a whole life ahead of you and I encourage you to embrace and face life with zest and wisdom. You watching this video says a lot about your seriousness. I am 46, so I want you to know that you've started well.

[@dr.lecter8818]

If the worst came to the worst...I would still watch School of Life videos ❤️ I love all the content you guys do. I find myself waiting for the next video!! 😊

[@hatimelias7465]

Timing couldn't be better.. thanks

[@jpandt0]

It's not just the worst I fear it's after the worst I fear loosing. The Love that softened me from the hardened mess of a human that years of war and dissociation from the human race by watching things through a scope and living an apathetic exitance and she is taken how will I stay strong yet hopeful enough to raise well balanced children. I have no. Other family to fall back on and do failure is not an. Option so my greatest fear is not for me but. For my family's joy and belief that the world can be good

[@bc_iamme]

It's as if School Of Life Knows what is going on in my life at this very moment. Today I took the MCAT and had a huge breakdown afterwards. I cried way too much. Thank you for reminding me that everything is still okay

[@billkalivas9750]

For the last year or so I've been dealing with cancer, treatments, and recovery. Facing some ridiculous medical bills. But on the other hand I'm finding out what really matters. Who my true friends are. Getting closer to my wife and kids. I'm not the man I was a year ago, eaten up with fear, resentment, and regret. On one hand I'm curious to see what lies ahead but I'm not quite ready to cash in this life just yet.

[@boogs939]

🙌🏻by far 1 of the most moving, authentic & meaningful School Of Life videos...& all wiv humour! Also, of course both basic Buddhist Practices 101 & Jungian Psychoanalysis process. Thank u🙏🏻💖

[@muhammedscholl7417]

i felt this video is talking to me at the right time. thank you people for making such things to educate people and help them understand themselves better.

[@coltinyancey3671]

If worst comes to worst then smile, it can only get better from there. If you are too hurt to smile then simply know that pain is proof of how honestly you care and nobody can ever take that from you.

[@JapanJohnny2012]

this one didn't really do it for me. i'm not thumbsing it down or anything and it's nice to see others find it a comfort, but 'if the worst comes to the worst' became repetitive and i switched off from what was being said and started trying to guess which films and shows the accompanying video snippets came from - i got about six.

[@davidbranco9394]

Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Thank you School of Life for this amazing and inspiring video.

[@aname4931]

Worried I'm about to get sacked. This is exactly the medicine I needed.

this is nice

Wouldn't you get dizzy?

[@touchheartyoga]

When I think about what you must think about I am mightily impressed, thank you

[@def_nope]

I just want to say that TSOL has always been my niche here. And their videos are my go-to source of meditation and self-help since they dont ask me to do super big steps but rather plausible small steps that i really appreciate.

[@mondraymondo]

This channel truly has some of the most interesting topics, necessary in life
