Impossible Expectations

[@michelehood8837]

As one of your self-appointed, KZbin “slightly older sisters,” I am so proud of your attitude! 🙌 One thing I absolutely know is that we continue to grow and learn throughout our lives. It’s one of the blessings of being allowed to age. Things that bothered me at 30 or 40 don’t even register at 50. I love how you handled this minor setback - big hug to you!

[@NOTINTERCEPTER01]

Look at it as an way to push yourself to another level and an learning experience. The amount of times I failed my amateur radio exam but I passed in the end and never gave up.

[@hotdiggitydogs782]

I'm literally crying as I watch this. Why are we so hard on ourselves!?!? Thank you for reminding us that it's ok to be human and make mistakes and it's not the end of the world when we do. I needed this today, so thank you.

[@yadirab.c.615]

I needed that. I always push myself in trying to get a 90% or higher on my school work and it crushes me when I get an 83%. I mainly do this to myself because in high school I never got above a c. I am in college and saw that as a redemption for myself that I tend to forget I have come this far. First generation in my family to even enroll in college.

[@jamiemckenna3668]

I’m proud of you for not crumbling. I’m going to try to use this same logic on myself and learn from your wisdom. Love from New Orleans, Louisiana 💕

[@jgilmore9986]

Congratulations for accepting that sometimes stuff doesn’t work and thats ok. Your growing and this is a very healthy attitude. Be proud of yourself. As a side note your T-shirt designs are great and loved and maybe you should consider having your designs made for sale. People would buy them. You are very talented.

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

I adore these little videos you do so much. I like to think I've going better at going "well that was a fail moving on" rather than dwelling on things. Lovely to hear you're back out in disney! Hope you're taking care of yourself!

[@jamiegraham9378]

Hope you’re having loads of fun !!! Can’t wait to see the mischief the two of you get into this trip !!

[@ginajones963]

I have the 'Dare to Dream' artwork, one of my absolute favorite pieces!! So fun to see it on a t-shirt, I must have one ❤️

[@jennifercurry1631]

You are one of the most genuine uplifting souls I have ever see on utube. Thank you Gary C. Changing one life at a time.

[@las6766]

love your artwork on the shirts....I especially love that Christmas tree artwork. Love you Gary C - "sortie".

[@Stacy-pz9rr]

I agree 100%…planning and doing special things for your trip can be overwhelming even when they turn out nice …Thank You for being an inspiration to others who have anxiety … finding inter peace is the first step to overcome that anxiety and pressure we put n ourselves to get it right all the time …I can see you have that … I hear it in your message ….Thank You 🙏🏻

[@jaykayinmk]

I'm proud of you for remaining strong... and not letting things bring you down. I tried tshirt transfer paper... but I prefer using fabric paint. The paint I use doesn't need to be heat set. Enjoy Disney, have a wonderful time (both you and Adam) and I'm sending ya both hugs lol

[@Chrissyhappy]

I always try and think what I would say to a friend if this happened to them. You find you’re always kind when your friend has an upset. You empathise and you’re gentle with them. I have to try and remember to be like that with myself, because I too set very high standards. It’s all in the way you think. You’re doing an amazing job Gary. Disney!!! How exciting! Enjoy!

[@doreenpitre6472]

I am so happy that you and Adam are at Disney! I hope you both have the most wonderful vacation!!! About the t-shirts...I am so proud of you for not crumbling when they didn't turn out as you wanted them to. Sometimes it's a little thing that breaks us...the straw that breaks the camels back! I love your messages...it certainly makes me see thjngs differently.

[@suesims6538]

I think we begin to be less hard on ourselves as we get a bit older. Well done for acknowledging that it is only small stuff. Read a book many years ago “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff” and really try to do just that. Take care Gary

[@coricross682]

Hey Gary! You can only do the best you can with what you have. As my Dad says, “technology is great when it wants to work with you.” Hope you & Adam are having a splendid time! Love you both!

[@garyc]

So true!

[@kayatwood5183]

Honestly they didn't look that bad on screen. But you are so right. They will not matter in a few days or months. We get hung up on everything being perfect and the world is perfect. Love your attitude.

[@ashleighdavies54]

Gary we would NEVER be disappointed in you!! I know it might not look the same in person, but I think they look great, the designs are fantastic and I'm sorry they didn't work out how you wanted. Hope you have having a amazing time in Florida! We are re booked to go October 2022 x

[@juliewillis6782]

Well done Gary!!! Glad this wasn’t another stress in your life!!! Keep it up and keep de stressed!!!!👍🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@gomeyn]

Good for you Gary!! I know just how that feels like and being able to just say “hey, it is what it is” is awesome!! Hope you are living your best life in Disney! Much ♥️

[@patricianoyes2604]

The designs are awesome ! Love the Christmas tree design. We have also tried to make our own for Disney and they were really bad!

[@KatyLouRaRa]

Well done Gary for giving yourself the time to be okay with this! I needed this at the moment - have had to get a 2 month extension on my masters study because I can’t cope with it alongside work and moving into a new house. I feel like I failed but you’re helping me to think differently..thank you 💕 hope you’re having a wonderful time in Disney 😍

[@garyc]

Good luck with it all x

[@KatyLouRaRa]

@@garyc thank you! X

[@katherinemohr2833]

What a great way to handle an unexpected outcome and disappointment. I will use your words of wisdom when things don't go as planned. 🥰

[@tryingmomma]

You did a great job with them and things just happen sometimes. You can still wear them around the house or to bed. Glad you didn't get upset with yourself. Things happen and we just have to move on from it.

[@shirleyz7400]

I see you getting stronger with every video. Your encouragement is always awesome. I hope you have tons of fun. Looking forward to watching your adventures. Much love! ❤💚💜💙💛💖✌👍🤓

[@HHLoveYouMore]

So happy to hear that you are currently at WDW! Can't wait to see your vlogs with Adam!! ♥️♥️ Thank you for sharing your life lessons with us. We all need a little reminder every now and then. 🫂

[@evapearson7541]

Thank you for sharing!! That was a message I definitely needed to hear!!!

[@christinaallen6114]

I just discovered you and Adams vlogs. This is a great message that this 50 yr old needed reminding of! Growth mindset! You’ve learned and moving on. Can’t wait for your next trip to follow!

[@RachRocksDisney]

I am so proud of you for not crumbling! You are amazing! Sometimes its easy to just be down on ourselves or let something really get to us. You showed your true strength when it came to those shirts and your expectations for them. Very proud of you and I love this message. And your shirts, I think are amazing and I love the designs!!! Your message will stay with me.

[@614supercool]

Thanks for sharing. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to stay positive. Have the best trip ever.

[@janetovens756]

Great news about the trip, I am re-watching the recent UK Disney Cruise vlogs. I have been watching you and Adams vlogs for a few years now, and you have really changed in the way you handled the T-Shirt printing. Good for you, be proud.

[@ajruel1]

I understand about being a perfectionist with anxiety. When I had my own cake business I was always hard on myself. I only wanted to makes cakes that I would be proud of and would buy myself. I was actually pretty good at decorating them but of course something always went wrong.Its just the nature of making and decorating cakes. But I think when I started giving myself room to not be so perfect I enjoyed it a lot more. Peoples reactions were always positive even though I could see the flaws they didn't. Their smiles and happiness made it all worth it. I think the T shirts are awesome and I would gladly wear them. Cheers 🍻

[@tanyamassey9438]

We are hardest on ourselves. You are still the best.

[@cyndiellis9645]

I love your outlook on things Gary, it’s an amazing message that we all need to hear at times. Especially when we struggle with severe anxiety. Thank you for sharing this moment with us.

[@debra333]

Hi, sweet Gary! I'm so proud of you for working through this. That tree design is so fantastic! You're so talented and those designs are amazing, which is something to take from this!! Love you! 🫂

[@sophielea6107]

A beautiful message from a beautiful person! 💕

[@bethpiper2438]

Such a wonderful reminder to not worry about all of the little things, that in the end don’t matter. Hope that you are having the best time in Disneyworld.🥰

[@TheRebeccaMcD]

Love this Gary! What a great attitude you have and thanks for sharing the wisdom. Honestly there is enough pressure in life, sometimes you have to be kind to yourself and let it go...lol. Have a fabulous trip to WDW! xxx

[@kikky811]

Have a wonderful trip! Yes these are just THINGS and you are now having wonderful EXPERIENCES!

[@paulajayne444]

I love the designs you came up with, so unique, hope you and Adam are having the most fun back at your Happy Place, looking forward to seeing your photos and watching Adam's vlogs XX

[@shelfj]

You are such a wonderful person! My son got his mickey picture on the weekend. He is in the disney college program and your picture now hangs in his apartment on Disney property! Thank you so much, Gary.

[@garyc]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@margaretalletson84]

Love the new Christmas tree design,sorry it didn’t work out.As you say,not the end of the world,getting mad doesn’t solve anything ( although sometimes letting out a big scream does make you feel better).Can’t wait to see the new vlogs!!

[@cammycanfield9235]

Way to go Gary if you never try anything for fear of failure you will never accomplish anything. Wonderful attitude 👍 Have a terrific time at Disney world.🎄

[@lesliesmith5586]

I'm so excited you are at Disney, can't wait for the videos. Your shirts looked great to me. Have a safe wonderful trip.

[@HartStreet4Ever]

Love your creativity Gary. Enjoy immensely the wdw adventures that Adam & yourself have. waiting for Vlog Day 2.. (your Northern Ontario Canada follower)

[@debragundlach1749]

Growth Gary! Your art is just beautiful! Be proud. You teach a great lesson. Love ya. Deb🎄

[@karenstanislaw8912]

Don't you know, Gary C, that when looked at from the perspective of Venus - we're ALL goof-balls ?! -Doesn't matter level of formal education, monetary means, degree of earthly talent - we're all "negotiating ," doing the best we can in what is an essential mystery. A sense of humor, and a healthy dose of irony is a wisdom. Looking forward to seeing on the screen the blast you must be having presently at the Disney park.

[@Allison_Forte]

Well said Gary. You’re right, at the end of the day they are just things. Wear ‘em and don’t fret about it. You’re in Walt Disney World, having a blast with Adam right now. Can’t wait to see the vlogs. ❤️

[@amandamctyre8390]

There ya go Gary.... it’s part of business. Totally so proud of you ❤️👍🏿💃🏿

[@melheery6156]

Thank you Gary, I can relate! Have fun at WDW!!

[@leehamilton8344]

Another awesome nugget of advice. So happy you are enjoying the magic! Can't wait to see what adventures await. Sad that I won't have the chance to see you in the parks. So treat yourself and have a wonderful moo moo sharoo in Central Florida.

[@anne-marievr5710]

Wow you are at Disney! I cannot wait to see your videos. Hope you having the best time and you are treating yourselves! I travel for the first time this Friday and we are staying at the Pop Century for 2 days before a cruise,

So happy that you are back in WDW. Can’t wait to see the vlogs. Also great that you have such a positive mindset.

Looking forward to new Disney Vlogs. We go in a week and a half. Your’s and Adams are my favourite as they are long and detailed and take the viewer with you as a result.

I appreciate you so much thank you for being honest and sharing your life with us

Gary u are such a lovely man .... u have a lovely character .... I used to get stressed over little things .. but the past 4 years I don't any more ... its not worth it . Keep being u . 🥰

[@garyc]

Thanks Emma, take care of yourself x

[@dulcevaldes7769]

Gary the t-shirts are not that bad. I know you had higher expectations but they don't look bad. Your art and sketches are amazing. Find another company that does a better job with the printing on the shirts but they're really not that bad.

[@katielemos8590]

You didn’t crumble! YOU DIDN’T CRUMBLE!! When my first book was published (it’s a trashy romance novel 😉) I hated the cover. In my mind it didn’t look the way it was supposed to. My publisher gave me some advice that has stuck with me to this day, only you know what it’s supposed to look like. Everybody else is seeing the cover with zero expectation. I think the shirts look great. I can see what you mean when you say you can see the white of the transfer, but the designs look professionally done. You could sell those shirts and make some coins.

[@peterandrew270580]

What's the book called? X

[@katielemos8590]

@@peterandrew270580 Never Say Just by Katie Harper. I honestly don’t know if it’s still available on Amazon anymore. 😂😂

Such an inspiration my friend. I really needed to hear that today! Thanks!

[@barrychambers4872]

Always love seeing your different talents Gary C. A couple of ideas for ya. Make your still a pumpkin shirts and also some with your catch phrases you & Adam say together as well. LoL. I bet the people would love seeing those and purchase them both as well. Anxiously awaiting yours & Adams video together at Walt Disney World . Stay safe and much love to you both. 👍❤️😀

[@hailsfox2135]

They are so great! You should be making and selling them through red bubble or something, that way you can get yourself you own screen printed ones. The world is so ready for 'Gary C' brand tees.

Thank you x

[@sueb2515]

Can’t wait to see the videos Gary. You look great no matter what you are wearing. Enjoying your Instagram posts so far. Happy to know you are in Disney World. Love your Mickey Mouse T-shirt. Looks awesome on you. Enjoy your time with Mickey and friends.

[@leighannlambert6930]

Hello Gary…I have experienced exactly what happened to you. It was not my fault the transfer didn’t work well.But turned it to a positive. The tees are now used for sleep tees. But that Christmas Tree tee…. It’s perfect for Halloween time. The first thing I thought of was a Christmas Tree Skeleton. 😝😂😝. . Saw the notice about the Walt Disney World Vlogs starting soon - can’t wait. Hugs from Southern California.

They still look good though. I just subscribed to you, been watching Adam's for a couple of weeks. Went into his older vlogs can't afford a real vacay so I watch other people instead. Adam's best vlogs in my opinion are the ones with you. So thank you for making my fake vacations fun. I would buy some of the shirts I have seen you wear in the vlogs that you designed.

Don't forget we live and, hopefully, learn Gary. Also one person's dislike is another's love. I bet if you auctioned those t-shirts on your channel that they'd sell really well. Why? Because people have faith in you, genuinely like you and support you. Much better someone likes you than a t-shirt. X
