I Think I Just Stumbled Across the Secret to Life

[@andreac.6164]

One more thing, if you’re unable to travel, take a different route home from work, change the scenery and don’t be afraid to do things by yourself. Don’t make being solo stop you from doing something different or something you love.

[@KCtheSUNSHINE]

So true! Don't be limited by other people not being available to do fun stuff. I go alone often because schedules don't match up etc.

[@Desperate4Freedom.]

Its what i do. Try never go same road take different bus ect

[@hannathehappynomad]

Yes! I wanted to kayak but am limited with life responsibilities to travel and kayak as much as I want. So I bought an inflatable (don't even have the car to transport a plastic one) cheap kayak and went to try it on river 5 mins away. I have been in heaven every weekend in summer for 2 summers! I was scared and very uncomfortable the first time. I can't believe I haven't done it in 10 years I have lived here! And also, there are days on weekends I don't see anyone for 3-4 hours on the river! Ppl have no idea of this slice of heaven in the middle of a very populated suburb of a huge city! Mind blowing. But all the ppl I told what I do said or thought I was crazy.😂

[@DreamSurferRelaxation]

To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. ❤🧘‍♂

[@MsLightbender]

Thank you - I needed this :)

[@Athanasiospaschos2963]

Thank you for this😊

[@allybarnett4931]

This is so true! You have to REPROGRAM your mind and what “success” looks like to you. We are so conditioned to think success is a reflection of societal status, possessions etc. but that all means nothing if you don’t love what you are doing! Live for God’s will for your life, not man’s.

[@DeborahRose2885]

Amen and Amen!

Came upon this after a dark side of the moon expirence. Found my life path after. Thanks for your content.

[@realfreedom8932]

This is your expertise Tim, breaking down simple questions... this is your unique strength. This is your best format.

[@melissaguevara724]

I agree! I enjoy these videos the most!! So much wisdom!

[@osooutdoors]

I quit my full time job where I was drinking all the time and started working 5 hours a day at a fast food place that feeds me also, I live on the river in an r.v. park and take 3 to 5 mile walks twice a day and practice archery, I'm 20 days sober been watching your videos trying to get sober for two years thanks for the inspiration

[@newagequeen9454]

Congratulations! Sounds like you're on the right track 😊

[@osooutdoors]

Not drinking at work just right up until work then really hard after work, it was a toxic environment I'd get off and drown my sorrows

[@tonyh1345]

So relatable. I was working in sales the past couple years and having an entire bottle of Tito’s every single day. I nearly died. Just quit and I’m sober now. It’s a breath of fresh air. The golden handcuffs working a job you hate are never worth it.

[@ParteraQuisqueyana]

Reading this one year later. Hope you’ve been 1 year sober ❤

[@D_Ortiz23]

Love this! Was diagnosed with cancer in 2020 & I beat it. That changed my whole perspective & everything you said in this video is what I’m striving for. Being okay with saying that I don’t know what’s going to happen next & living anyway. Embracing the wonder & the mysteries of life instead of fighting them or stressing myself out trying to figure them out. Just living the best life I can live while hopefully adding value to the lives of those around me while I’m here. Keep bringing the inspiration Tim. It is much needed! Sending you love & light! 💛

[@silverer7]

I am still struggling with cancer but feel these concepts very inspiring. Thank you

[@apolloniusbeitsman5444]

I have a chronic illness.

[@loveordie4]

Congratulations 🎊

[@loveordie4]

@@silverer7 may you overcome it and be as healthy as you can be.

[@billh.1940]

The secret of life is breath in, breath out, do it again. Keep doing this, you can live forever.😊

[@kateleahmarie]

You are so right, life is a learning experience. I heard such a profound quote the other day, " if you're not happy with your morning cup of coffee, you wont be happy on a yacht", that absolutely blew me away. A second point i'd like to make is this: people don't live by their own intuition and dreams and 'gut feeling', they go with what they think society wants from them. This is the wrong way round, we have to have the courage to live our own truth. Then we will know true happiness. Great vid, as always :)

[@deborahk7667]

When you said "there are no comfort zones, there's only you stopping at a certain spot" it was a AHA moment for me. I get it you simply cannot stop. Thanks man.

[@breezluize3282]

He gets it. Thanks for sharing.

[@ronnyb9416]

Tim....love your talks. Please keep them 10 to 30 minutes, as most of us are busy and cannot listen for one to three hours.

[@Mimlou]

Yes, I love these 15-20 min videos. Easy to digest!

[@janish3059]

This is true, however you can always go back to it at another time

[@ucbx]

You don't have to listen to a long broadcast all at one time. You can listen to small parts of it at a time. It can be spread across days or weeks if you want.

[@jaleesa00]

Those are lives you are talking about. They are nice places to hang out and chat. This form video are not lives.

[@sariahlace5944]

You can listen at your leisure 🤷‍♀️.

[@w1ldthin9]

i like your idea that when were not really living a full life, its when we question the meaning of it. simple but powerful. thanks tim.

[@vidallares8055]

Great message Tim! You're a wise man.

[@UncoolPeak125]

It's not about the destination, it's the journey. The journey is really internal. You cannot defeat nature, as it is just a reflection of yourself. Sounds a lot like surfing too.

[@solarhydrowind]

Life is, for me, turning 60 and arriving to a place inside where I can read the bulletin board of my past and present, covered with messages of the wisdom I felt so strongly about everything tthat I wouldn't let myself accept previously in my life, requiring silence and calm to be able to finally feel.

[@twistinacolina9160]

I really needed to hear this!. Ever since I was a child. I remember thinking "what is this life for?. Why am I hear?" And have been coasting through just hoping to find this "meaning" but the truth is the meaning is to enjoy being alive & live life & enjoy every step of the journey.

[@rockabilly3333]

The reason why the flies bother us is because we smell clean. From the shower makes no sense I know but it's true.

[@melaniegriesemer]

“Life is like a perpetual treasure hunt.” I love this! Little treasures all along the way ✨ but too often we just stop. So true. Who wants an easy treasure hunt? I so needed to hear all of this!!

[@TimothyWard]

Glad you enjoyed the video Melanie 🙂

[@jackiegerarde9938]

Yes. Lack of choices can impede our self efficacy. I lost this when I was burned out and felt stuck. Everything you talk about circles back to this. Love your facial expressions.

[@DavidDavisDH]

I'm working on my debt, that's my goal for this year, but after that get into investing and traveling. I'm definitely looking at my life in a different way thanks to you Tim!

[@mimishush7529]

My best life would be traveling the entire world seeing everywhere! 😃

[@Livefree902]

Let’s go😊😌

[@Hyper_Driven]

Everytime you look for a destination and it’s not like what you imagined, you just end up disappointing yourself more often than not. And not only because it may not be what you anticipated but also because life still keeps going on as it always had and always will. You end up disappointed because you didn’t enjoy the journey. So you just keep on going till you figure that out.

[@jowillowcat6044]

Wow, this really spoke to me. I've lived through some pretty awful abuse and the only thing I thought I had going for me is my refusal to lay down and die. It's not that I didn't feel like it but something inside me kept pushing me to get back up! Three decades on and I walked right out of that whole mess, including some years with PTSD, and life became my friend again. Thanks for putting it so succinctly Tim, love and peace to you.

[@Ascending-Transcending]

I'm so happy that your channel found me. These are things I have been thinking a lot about over the past few years. You have a unique way of illustrating your points which really resonates and makes total sense. Thanks man.

[@GlennHogan-uf8uo]

Yes! Live life to the fullest!

[@Brads-strung-out]

'a rich life' So I'll rule out the money side of that term......then we have a subjective term. I was chasing keeping up with the Jones, lost everything, so now 'rich' has already had two totally different effects on me. One rich I always previously wanted, is now my enemy, and my new rich in life is a life I would have never previously wanted. From taking things for granted to being very quickly humbled by reality. Things I've changed, no social media apart from YT, I hike, long dog walks, changed my career path and keep things as simple as I possible can. No more chasing.

[@marielux7372]

Overcoming obstacles helps give people meaning and pride in life

[@hammersaw3135]

Life is like a busy road in the city. Lots of people doing dangerous maneuvers and road raging around town, speeding so they can stop at the same light as the 'slow' person they passed. I always refer back to the favorite childhood story of the tortoise and the hare. The tortoise had a better adventure, and still beat the hare without stressing it.

[@yadnom918]

I'm there right now! Bought myself a hotel room for a couple days and felt invisible but it made me realize I have a lot of living to do

[@travellingcats1047]

You're so right and you're one handsome man. ;)

[@IntrustGames]

Do what you want and live simple.

[@expensivenoodle]

This is why I enjoy your videos, Tim! You’re just the most present person on Earth, something that I have difficulty doing. I’m such an overthinker and worry too much about my future that watching you relaxes me. I admire your brain. Thank you so much.

[@GMan-sb7mc]

If only I could smash the like button 💯 times on this!! Keep dropping the gems!🙌🏾

[@laurainrevison1162]

It applies to all living things. You attempt to survive. Humans think too much cause of their big noggins and egos....so we need to think too much. We are here to connect. We are all energy and meant to keep going. Clues are tapping into what you should be conscious of. I believe we are here to create and love. Some do so in a negative way and some positive. Most sway more in the middle or back and forth. Namaste.

[@philby6617]

I normally start off my morning with a Timothy Ward video (old or new). I like his thinking.

[@MirzaAyaanBaig690]

Wow your thoughts are so relieving and peace-giving it soothes my emotional wounds I acquired due to life stresses…. Good to Know you Mr. Timothy . Live life to its fullest 😊.

[@Kingkongthugpassion2667]

Tim you got a point because as long as we're alive and occupying a space we're gonna have some kind of bill or expense. So we might as well have some f**k it moments and do what we wanna do sometimes

[@pla4825]

Thank You I really needed to hear this 😊

[@MODELBODYINTL]

So true - life is like a treasure hunt 😊

[@razbliss3367]

Wow!!!!! I know that we need to Reprogram our minds to what we do about our life and success.

[@manflynil9751]

Great presentation, Tim. I totally agree with you. Good morning from Australia.

[@rosstravels.official]

The man of wisdom!! Thanks Tim!! Very much needed but also just informative all around! It’s nice to see this perspective of things because I get caught up in the narrative of life and I need to step back and just enjoy it! And not be so focused on everything else BUT happiness. 🤟🏽

[@denise3432]

Gosh Tim is speaking directly to me!!tears 🙌🏾

[@chrissy4244]

Be here now!

[@andreac.6164]

Tiiiiimmm!!! Right on!! At 48 I discovered I love snowshoeing and today at 53 I discovered I love kayaking and I can’t believe it took this long but glad I figured it out. Everyone should try new things, if you don’t learn you don’t grow if you don’t grow you don’t change and if you don’t change you die.

[@pearlrim]

You’ve just said things that gave me a clarity I thought I couldn’t have. So good man love your channel it’s so helpful.

[@TimothyWard]

Glad to hear it!

[@lisalamphier1410]

It's amazing how you say exactly what I need to hear at exactly the time that I need to hear it.

[@michellethelen6153]

[@RRODKKEN]

Hey Tim, You really hit the nail on the head- Awesome prospective on this journey of life. Thank You.

[@TheeBethakneeJ]

I promise I've been following Tim for a couple of years now and I almost never see his videos pop up on my feet but just here in this new stretch of life I'm in, his videos have been all over my timeline. I guess I needed this message now. Out here saving lives bro

[@timward3116]

OMG, I thought I would type in my own name just to see what turned up, and YOU turned up. Spooky. I even have the same middle initial and the same philosophical interests! Godspeed, my friend!

[@imanjones3807]

You're correct the secret to life is to live n worship the Creator

[@Amber24426]

I feel called out by what you say around 10:30, but in a good way! I’ve really needed to hear that.

[@lifelessons2606]

@Tim Ward, I agree! Life is too short to worry about the things that really don't matter. Tomorrow is not promised at all, so its better to spend your life living and creating experiences rather than living a life of misery. There is this old Honda commercial...and it says, "Failure is the key to success". Some of the best advice I've followed to this date. No longer afraid to fail.

[@ms.rivera7898]

Great video. Thanks.

Yesss👏🏽 my friend 🦋 I agree...The secret to life is living 🌻#thankyouforthisvideo😊#mayweenjoy!✨

[@simpleuser0001]

I had recently come back home for a short lived vanlife experience for personal reasons. I find myself happier and more grateful for what I have since I've returned. I will certainly try again later on when I'm more prepared and have nothing else to lose. My clues have been about timing and taking care of those who need me. However the experience I just had gave me a confirmation that I can do it and that I can keep going!

[@SamMorgan95]

I agree with a lot of the sentiments in this video. Moreover, I think we all have the voice in the back of our head encouraging us to do what we think we should do. However, I also think it’s important to ask yourself why you want to do it. More specifically, if your internal dialogue goes something like, “I want to do this thing because everyone will be stoked on me and think I’m super awesome.” you should stop immediately because the harsh reality is that nobody else really cares. Because of our programming, the line between ego and our true desires is blurred and I have a really hard time telling the difference. That’s what I’m currently working on.

[@timelessrealms]

I sometimes think about what I want the masthead photo on my social media profile to be at the end of my life, so people who wanted to could look me up and see what I achieved. But then I remembered, before the internet, when you moved away you just disappeared! You didn't care about people finding you or seeing what you're doing.
