Love how Frankl turned Maslow's pyramid upside down, do you see it that way too? Wonder if that is what made them actualise Maslow's theory to include self transcendence.

[@Lukearthwalker]

THIS kind of content is what the best of KZbin is all about. Gratitude that you chose this platform as a way of expressing yourself, thank you, fantastic video.

[@KingaGorski]

KZbin University is totally a thing haha. 👩‍🎓

[@LeahsLens]

Don’t worry about going too deep on social media. A lot of us are out here looking for this type of thing. Thanks for your work.

[@innocent-innergy1055]

I pay for a premium subscription for solely content such as this.

[@TheSolXP]

14:10 I used to have this mindset and it held me back for many years. I thought I was smart enough to figure out anything, my mantra was "If I knew what was wrong, I'd find a way to fix it."; that past self was afraid to be vulnerable and open to change. This video eloquently displays realistic values in perspective and proper expectations.

[@rubin-healmysocialanxiety702]

Powerful video brother, reminds me of Carl Jung's quote "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become"

[@KingaGorski]

Also love drawing on Jung's work (and his many relevant quotes)👌

[@Christoph_Walks]

How did I just find this channel? This is one of the best videos I’ve ever watched on this platform.

[@sugisugeetha]

It’s super weird. Today I had the same thought. My words, as I’ve written in my journal, “Go through your problems, be aware of how you are solving it, transform yourself through it, so that you will not face the same problem again. Probably not in the same intensity. Transcend the problem.” Or in other words, outgrow them, level up so that it doesn’t affect me anymore. I won’t have to firefight. It’s something I don’t even have to think about. That’s evolution.

[@KingaGorski]

Love the thought processes shared here in your moments of contemplation ✍ journalling is so powerful like that. Thanks for sharing!

[@Humble_Bee.]

Excellent!! 👏

[@thebutcher1018]

Congratulations! Each day is a day of success! Stay the course and enjoy!🎉🙌

[@jaimiejin7992]

I think we love movies and novels because we love it that the characters in fictions live a full life. I can totally relate to that. As I ask myself, I think I want to live a full life too. I would say overall I am a peaceful person, but I do desire to live a full life that's fulfilling. With that comes risk. I must be willing to take the risks, and I shall have no fear. I'll enjoy the high highs, but I'll also go through the low lows. But that's a life worth living, as I don't want to just go through life with my eyes closed and my brain shut off.

[@carrotsandrunning]

Only really learnt one thing from my father. He'd say it over and over again; "no-one said life had to be fair". That has taken me so far in life.

[@cierabennett8826]

This is actually a high quality video. Most people talk just to talk, this is great content!

[@KingaGorski]

Loved the charts in this one too, visuals always help to integrate the ideas shared! 💡

[@KingaGorski]

*"The unexamined life is not worth living."* - Socrates Great video and appreciate the effort put into those charts haha. Aces 👏

[@dig1272]

Love your chart! Awesome! Yes, "This should not be happening" is a thought that could have taken me out if I stayed there after losing 3 loved ones.

"my world is perfect" that's what I have written on my whiteboard. had it up for several months. it has helped me through though times and always yielded good results. never see yourself as a victim, and always take reasonability for everything in your life. because if you do you have the power to change it.

[@angierox6964]

Yes! Yes to your words, but also, yes to your whiteboard! I love my whiteboards! And it’s always great to find another board dude🤓

Your video hit me at the right timing. Been struggling at levels 2 and 3. What you've said about feeling just relieved after "acomplishments" is just so true and no one talks about it.Thank you

[@angelacacace3705]

This is one of the best videos you have made... 🙂 Very profound Sir. Thank you!

[@klesk0s]

Holy grail! Makes 95% of self improvmenet KZbin unnecessary. It is all about the true essence of BEING. Which incorporates all of the things you so clearly point out. BUT - uncomfortable truth for most people ;) It puts them - as well as me - in the position to truly and actively take responsibility. And ride the waves of life. Not a "nice, dreamy" fantasy but the biggest chance we all have to really grow and fully live! Thanks so much!

[@litawi7869]

I can’t even tell you how certain I am, that you uploaded this for me to see ON THIS DAY! This is day one of me outgrowing this shit

I truly believe that you were put here to help the masses find true happiness, because the way you put things and even down to your appearance you are able to take these "hippy concepts" and package them in a way that is palatable to the general public to be able to understand and want to go deeper. You have helped me immensely I want to thank you for that ❤ don't worry about going to deep the way you put it makes so much sense!

[@jen_11003]

My jaw was dropped at the end omg- didn’t expect to get this impacted by a self improvement video!! I absolutely love the idea of “why the f*ck not me,” great video!!!

[@KingaGorski]

[@KingaGorski]

@indukumar1798 Agreed it was a great one 🙌

[@LeahsLens]

“The root of all suffering is ‘this should not be happening’”

[@Savvynomad225]

The root of that approach is comparison to others, aka the thief of joy/contentment. What sets the “should not” standard?

[@Timi1111]

Wow.. this is really good!!! This is the best video of yours I've seen

[@angierox6964]

Excellent! Perfect timing, I needed this reminder. I think that self-help and empowerment books, speakers, etc. should all come with a disclaimer… ‘Living in chronic bliss and happiness is an unrealistic goal. Part of being human and learning lessons and self growth and improvement, all develop from errors, mistakes, sadness, anger, pain, betrayal, etc.. Mother Theresa and Ghandi had some bad days too!’ Thank you!

[@KingaGorski]

It's primarily through challenge, pressure, discomfort, and hard times that we truly learn and grow 🪴

[@jenniferwebre6328]

When you showed the last state of being I wanted to cry and hug you. It’s so important to hear that for me, as going through the first two stages of your video. Thank you for wanting to help people evolve and out grow the habits that don’t evolve us to our higher selves. Especially as a woman that wants better views of men my age that inspire me. Thank you. 😊

[@jaimiejin7992]

This video is absolutely incredible. I love it that you outlined that it's impossible to stay in that euphoric state forever, that always staying high is impossible, but it's possible to stay in low vibe forever. I feel that was me, and I definitely had hedonic adaptation, because eventually things that make you happy don't make you happy anymore. Sex, food, exotic experiences etc. etc.

[@SatyrGrey]

Hey Clark! Congratulations on 1000 days sobriety! Love your videos.

[@a.d.b535]

I'm getting enlightened with this content and seeing the benefit of recent 'traumas and losses' as an opportunity for stratospheric growth. The content is so different from the usual, and truth has a certain 'ring'. I'm freed from prior limitations. Awesome, thanks!

[@krisztinabango2514]

Clark! Thanks so much that was one of the best video on KZbin I’ve ever watched!!! Be blessed!!!❤

Clark, you're my SUPERMAN! Love your videos and examples, very relatable. Just watched 3, and I'm ready to conquer ME! Gratitude & Blessings ❤

Mhmm this was so good. I am thinking about lot of things lately. Feeling stuck and my inner child is startong to scream inside of me. Dude I am telling you this is crazy what is happening. I am depressed and feeling like some breakthrkught is closer than anything before. Especially when I feel stuck, lost, not fulfield , angry, sad, can sleep 24/7 it is like something is turning inside out can not explain it. But this is for sure great video very resonate and very helpful 😊

Thank you for sharing. Yes, I strive to live in that 4th path so I can thrive and not just survive. This video came at a good time for me. Thanks for the reinforcement.

Comfort is not about ignorance. It's about getting rid of all the toxic people in your life and it's the greatest feeling in the world.

[@tomvanbossche1981]

Comfort creates mediocrity and there's nothing great about that.

Great video, man. Honest, heartfelt and super insightful and inspirational. “What one can be, one must be” love that Emerson quote. Your content is great man! Great quality and not selly or markety at all. It exudes confidence in your material and abilities. Keep up the great work 👏

I'm so inspired by what you're doing here. I have a similar gift of articulating humans to themselves and teaching it with drawings and my own models. I must say, you're moving me closer to doing exactly THIS ❤ and I knew you had a recovery background the moment you mentioned humility in your last video. It takes us to next level service based on effective self awareness 🎉 thank you

Thanks for creating and sharing. Cue The Clash “Im not down” **smiles and shakes shoulders** I would add serving in some way to that last life path- anything that makes you feel you are giving back in some way without expecting a reward in return. I think thats also important for a well rounded life. 🌸

[@EvieSaintAnn]

Love the transparency of this. Thanks so much. Been following you for a while and you’re always inspiring!

[@realonebusinessschool]

Problems don't end, you outgrow your problems through self improvement. ~ Identify your problem ~ Seek help from people and learn from those who had similar issues. ~ Find solutions in their responses ~ Start implementing the solutions ~ Remain focused and allow nature to deliver its course.

[@TheYoutubeMethod]

Are we all going through this at the same time? Yet it feels like you cant relate and you are alone

[@elzaocean]

It’s called evergreen content for a reason :)

[@KingaGorski]

It only *feels* isolating because our emotions run so deep and we're so close to our own situation. On top of that, most people don't feel as deeply as we might (or at least, they don't allow themselves/don't know how to access those deeper emotions) and so the interactions we have with others may come off like they don't get what we're going through, leading to that sense of isolation and like we're going through things alone. But we're never truly alone on a planet of 8 billion+ people, countless of whom are also going through their own well of life experiences. Hang in there and persevere ✨

[@TheYoutubeMethod]

@@KingaGorski idk how. It feels like I wont make it and I cant talk to anyone cause I don’t want anyone to feel the way I do.

[@samerbahgat]

"The greatest and most important problems of life are all in a certain sense insoluble…. They can never be solved, but only outgrown. This ‘outgrowing’, as I formerly called it, on further experience was seen to consist in a new level of consciousness. Some higher or wider interest arose on the person’s horizon, and through this widening of view, the insoluble problem lost its urgency. It was not solved logically in its own terms but faded out when confronted with a new and stronger life-tendency.” Karl Jung

[@bluerays95]

Fantastic video!! The depth and honesty is refreshing.

[@AbhinavMogili-wj4ks]

I think a good point of clarity that Clark might've also been trying to say is that these paths are all visions of your life in your mind, not necessarily the life you are actually living. By embracing the mindset of the last path, you attain a life that is objectively more similar to the third one. You embrace the mindset of the third path, you actually lead a life like the first one. These are WAYS OF APPROACHING YOUR LIFE (and its problems), not the ACTUAL LIFE YOU ARE ACTIVELY LIVING

[@LorraineVirginie]

This is an incredibly insightful video, thank you so much! 😊

Best video on the channel… always proud of you ❤️

[@HealthandBeautyAP]

I came across your videos recently. I will say this and maybe you cannot relate. Everyone was 1000% supportive of my dreams and aspirations (mostly because they didn't think I would amount to anything anyway) until I had children. At that moment, I became self centered for not wanting to just be a mother and not have a career. I had NO IDEA how strong people's opinions are about what good mothering looks like. Notice I didn't say good parenting. Good mothering.

Omg! the best and easy way to understand the stages of life. I see why divine guidance brought me here today. I'm getting dreams & synchronicities, to step into "the unknown" because is part of my healing journey. I'm in the threshold of virtue & fantasy, avoiding relationships, which are key to my path. I still uneasy to meet guys but now I know where I need to work more (boundaries and trust). Thank you for your honesty and authenticity and wishing you the best in your path. 🙏☮

Clark you ARE AMAZING and I appreciate you so much. Short story, somehow someone let me in your 6-week course within Skool for a day and I was able to take week one and download your workshops 1.0 and 2.0 before someone realized I shouldn't have been admitted. I called that a gift from God! I answered both workshops and am actively pursuing my version 2.0 and following you here. So my question is, when is the next 6-week course and / or where can I find information about the next course.
