I'm 21 and I have learned Acceptance

Acceptance is one of the hardest lessons to learn especially for people. We all have bad times and good times in our lives and sometimes forget what it feels like to be fully aware. I talked about this because I felt that there was value that I could give by sharing my story. Maybe you are going through a rough time in your life, maybe you just came out of a dark place. Whatever the case I am here to give my life lessons because I feel I owe it to myself to do just that.
For too long have we kept away from telling the truth and lately I have seen more and more people give in to who they really are and provide value for those who need it.
Accepting can be difficult but we all must learn how to overcome it.

Accepting yourself and loving yourself is the most important thing anyone can do. When you learn to do that, you change your perspective on life and the troubles that life presents. You learn to reject negativity and take a more positive outlook. Everyone is capable of changing for the better and surrounding yourself with positive people who can help you when you need it. Your insights are helpful to others. Keep telling yourself every day that you are a good person and worthy of love and respect. When you help others, you also help yourself.

I appreciate you seeing my vision, I owe it to myself to serve a purpose bigger then me and that is this

Loved

[@BenjaminJWhittaker]

Thanks man

[@bg147]

Awwww, I am glad you are doing better. I have always thought that anyone, including myself, is one little circumstance away from being broke and homeless. Yet, I have always managed to find ways to make money through reinvention and hustling up work. My lifelong struggle has been acceptance.... self-acceptance. It is a tough one to conquer. Keep forging ahead and accepting each new challenge. You got it.

[@BenjaminJWhittaker]

You'e a legend, keep hustling 🔥

[@Picla_Peremohy]

[@markfrye9178]

You have a great message here. Also, the music you chose for the background helps back up the mood. Beyond that, I wish it possible to learn what got you into that dark place.

[@BenjaminJWhittaker]

Thanks heaps for the feedback, I’ll definitely tell that story in the next few days

[@Taraqell-sv4mz]

You did a beautiful job to talk openly about this subject man! I think this shall help a lot of people and even me as well. Because even though I know all these kinds of stuff you talked about, I'm still reflecting on myself. And yeah, it's so amazingly cool to see others of the same generation finally talking about this stuff, because it's pretty rare and we need to change that. So many thanks for this and nice to meet you Benjamin ;)

[@BenjaminJWhittaker]

Really appreciate it man, as I said the least I can do is talk about the things we don’t often mention. Much love ❤

[@stevec404]

Good thinking. You are at an age when such perspective can make substantive and positive changes in your life. You are totally correct with your understanding. It seems that you did not experience very early trauma, which did, for me, indelibly imprint failure to my mindset. Options were torn from my young mind. It took a full lifetime for me to come to terms with my situation; and finally begin to seek change. I wrestle daily with these issues...and win now more often than not. I have just subscribed to your channel to do two things. To give you momentum and support...and to give myself the benefit of connection to a fellow traveler. Strength and good things to us both!

[@BenjaminJWhittaker]

Thank you very much for the kind words, as a child I had lots of trauma, not on a level of say war torn countries but domestically lets say my early years weren’t very great. I would love to touch on the subject at some point because I feel by being open to the world I am open to myself, thank you❤

[@luisf.betancourth3111]

You are so young and I see the sadness in your face. You no are alone,God is with you all the time Call Him and asked for help. He is waiting for your call. I living in pain 24 hour a day and is not easy,by the lord give strength for resist all this difficult moments. Be strong,I can see in your eyes you are a good men, be positive, I will pray for you,for you find peace in your heart and soul. Take care ,and God Bless you !

[@BenjaminJWhittaker]

thank you friend, I am quite okay haha, I made a video explaining the dark place I was in, much better now!

[@gradywells4678]

Great message.

[@BenjaminJWhittaker]

Thank you friend 😊

[@user-ix4wn1th5m]

Hi. Im in my sixties. Sometimes its hard to know what is the right thing to do. There are no guarantees in life. I have often felt insecure in my life. I have navigated through my life on my own. No real support. We are all alone, even if you are in a good relationship you are your own person. Dont take life so seriously.

[@BenjaminJWhittaker]

Thanks for jumping on. Always love new perspectives. 🔥🔥

[@aosilva1032]

Muito bom o seu vídeo. Se você diz que sua conversa não é profunda... Eu realmente não sei o que ébprofundo :) Escutando você, lembrei-me de dois assuntos: SOLITUDE e ESTOICISMO. Mas cuidado e atenção se fizer pesquisas, estudos sobre isso; e também cuidado com as opiniões das outras pessoas. Na verdade sabemos nada ou muito pouco sobre o mundo e sobre a vida; e a filosofia, a teologia e a ciência - como nós -, também têm mais perguntas do que respostas. Você está no caminho certo !!!

[@BenjaminJWhittaker]

Thank you very much, i love that you were able to make a definition of my video 🎉🎉 I definitely want to keep doing these!

[@JCResDoc94]

*took me a long time to accept i had to live in a tunnel behind a construction site. but then i found jesus.* busted open, in the gutter - like one of those 6 ft collection boxes for an event? ate like a KING OF KINGS. this moment is all we have. there is no tomo. a hopeful msg. _JC

[@BenjaminJWhittaker]

Haha you are always so randomly detailed 😂

[@mrfacespace]

Good advice, but I’d like to know what you did to improve your situation. I feel that you are repeating the same thing when you could be providing more specific examples. I think one of the things you are saying is that when times are rough, we only see the four walks around us, and forget that there may be a door which we can open that will lead us out of the place we are in and into a better situation. So being open minded can help us too see things from a wider perspective, and we may find that we have more options than we initially realize

[@BenjaminJWhittaker]

Absolutely, I guess a major part was the realisation that something needed to change. That can motivate anyone to get to work. I explained this deeper on another video of mine called 'Im 21. I was nearly homeless" - hopefully that answers that question deeper for you :)
