This guy understands life

[@shaneross7428]

Most definitely. All these other so called guru's try to make us have to do mental gymnastics, this guy shows life really is very simple. The information highway started bogging everyone down and made everyone think that the more complicated life is the better it is. Cases of massive depression and anxiety shows otherwise. Thank you for waking me up especially with this video.

He does. I’ve been following Tim’s journey for years and he hasn’t wavered on the message. He lives simply. And he’s happy (and realistic, he lets you know that things aren’t perfect.) and so down to earth.

[@natesamadhi33]

What? No, everybody knows the only way to live is to work 120 hours a week for Google/Microsoft until you're 85. Bill Gates is the Christ; he loves you & needs your labor.

Success in life is learning to silence the continuous conversation in our brain that makes every moment or situation more than it is...live in the moment.

[@markwhittaker6866]

I agree.

[@thriftyshirtpicker6449]

Ecclesiastes 7:29 "God made us plain and simple. We made ourselves very complicated." It's been one of my favorite Bible verses for a very long time.

People are tired of working in the same pkace for 20 50 years. Its probably a lot more fun working at different jobs and traveling the world than to work in one spot.

[@TimothyWard]

It definitely is!!!

[@heymisswest]

THIS!!!!!! That old way of working is dead!

[@ishabrown]

Totally agree 👍

[@myfriendjenonline7831]

I hate to be the one focusing on the negative, but I wonder who watches such spiritually positive video that doesn’t judge anyone and then hits the thumbs down button? Like how did they get here, why are they here?

[@CalmVibesVee]

Maybe they have unhealed wounds? They are discouraged? Some people are in a place of darkness still that when they are faced with the Light they run back to the dark and hit thumbs down on the way out. It is a spiritual blindness of sorts and they cant see just yet. They are in a painful place however maybe next time they will pick up a little more light. Hopefully baby steps. It is our kindness and patience with them that can point them to positive living. Let us keep encouraging others with giving our love. Love can heal others. Amen.

[@myfriendjenonline7831]

ForgiveAndLove09 definitely. I have suffered with depression and understand there is not a cure for it. There will always be highs and lows. I just have a hard time relating bc even in my lows tearing someone else down has never crossed my mind. Others thriving helps pull me out of my lows and gives me hope. I hope one day these people will come to that point bc it is such a relief. 🙏🏾

[@westboy52]

I don't know how I, a 23 year old guy from the Czech republic, have found your channel, but you're sharing real wisdom and dropping some truth-bombs on everyone. Thank you!

[@mumpygumboo8554]

so refreshing to listen to this VS the usual pep talk to become a workaholic

[@FLAC05]

The wisdom in this video is A+. This perspective can unlock a world of happiness, motivation, and tranquility. To live a simple life doesn’t mean you don’t have to pursue worthwhile goals. Keep at them, just don’t forget the base line simplicity.

[@jasondinh5603]

“I see people. I’m going the other way.” 😂

[@555fh]

Life is hard. We sometimes can become the product of our past and the human mind is hard to control and make peace with. Keeping peace and finding yourself and saying true to yourself is hard in it self. Humans do make life more complicated but we can also learn to make it more simple and uncomplicated. 💜

[@MsSassyMT]

I am definitely striving for the simpler life and realizing how little I actually need to survive and be happy. Great video.

[@alchristensen8121]

I saw a nature show a few years ago that really opened my mind. It was about gorillas. What did they do all day? They woke up, foraged for some food, napped, socialized, foraged for food, socialized, mated, napped, socialized, slept. It's what most animals do. But, as you say, we humans had to go and make things harder than necessary.

[@teametal11]

You are fearless and a real inspiration. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

[@leoserrano6032]

I agree with you in 2021. Things are shifting, COVID exposed the flaws in society and pushed us closer to that realization.

[@deidrethethreader]

Who would of thought that 2 years after this video, everything that Tim was talking about would come to pass. Prophetic

[@backroads82]

Basics are all we need and everything else is just icing on the cake. The thing to remember is sometimes too much icing can make you sick......

[@user-hliudpn]

And how you get too much icing with greed, envy and covetousness, is a problem.

[@cerellebarnes3971]

Amen!! Well said! I think some of us are slowly seeing this and moving back to the simple life. We’re getting tired of the rat race, materialism, consumerism and the dependency on money. Its getting ridiculous that money is attached to everything.

[@ROEVOSS]

14:33 "You can get rid of all your social media account. You don't have to have them. We think is this great advancement that allows us to communicate so much quicker but guess what, we still got the same problems we've always had, now we just hear about them quicker because we tell them on Facebook."

[@BlackButterfly78]

Your walks always look peaceful. Just watching you take them calms my nerves.

[@brianc6218]

Amen to that. It’s always a struggle for me to try to meet societies expectations versus just living life for me on my terms.

[@life5161]

It's crazy how similar we view life. You Sir are a SMART man. You see through all the horse shit like I do

Very glad I decided to click on this video. Gonna be binge watching all your videos whenever I need some peace of mind. Thank you

[@gregoriomendoza2190]

Hello Tim! I just found out about your YT channel a few days ago. I listen to your talks while taking my long walks and hikes in nature every day, I find them enlightening and convey lots of peace which is awesome. Keep up the good work! :) Cheers from Spain!

[@user-or6yn8pm3c]

This is true. The more I go to quiet areas the more happy I am and the quality of relationships I make in small towns is much better than in big cities.

[@marmotuprising7510]

I found you a couple days ago and cannot stop watching your videos. I've been in a depressive funk and your messages are really helping me to rethink my mindset right now. LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing your beautiful hiking locations too. I'm always so happy when I get to hike near streams. I love watching the water and how it sounds. Pure bliss.

Ive longed to live a simple life. Actually been forced to due to ill health. Although i dont want to have illnesses... Im having more freedom. Watching your videos made me realise that my thoughts about down sizing really works... Your mind feels more free. And being around happier people really helps us. Also trying to not be around negative people puts diamonds in your life. 😍💎😊

So much truth, brother.

[@SAMEntalhealth]

You and me would be a match made in best friend heaven the way you see things. Same exact way as me. I'm just a few steps behind you suffering a relapse and afraid of opiate withdrawal even though i have resources to make it more comfortable and durable including suboxone, a short taper, I'm tired of suffering the pain. The pain is what traumatizes me and causes post Acute symptoms as well. If im not traumatized throughout detox i will succeed. I'm just afraid right now Tim :((((

[@coolbreez773]

Timothy is 100% correct. I'm one of those people who could complicate a game of snap!

[@mr.fixdaplate]

[@ThePioneeringPixel]

This is so true. Every word. Our society is lost.

[@Reed5016]

This is a really good message. 4 years after this video, and the perfect storm you mentioned seems to be getting closer every day. So many people are still in denial, but there are also a lot of people who seem like they understand. I’m glad I found this channel.

“ It’s an ice skating rink Tim, you know nothing” I laughed harder than I should have on that 😂 another great video Tim!!! 👍🏾

[@taridean]

7:38 You don't even need to go far back as ancestors to see this today. I noticed this visiting villages in my home country of Zimbabwe. The people were just more noticeably happy, yet had less material stuff we covert here in first world countries. A lot of them live off the crops they grow and livestock they rare.

[@OluwaShagoon]

most ppl have a limited definition of success , this is why ppl give up on their dreams because they dont live up to the standards of ppl who have a robot mentality , u are right life is simple but we make our life to complex because we are constantly chasing something that we dont really want

[@Santaheckler]

This aged well!

[@laserfocus6178]

I think every life-form has this yearning for eternity. We, being humans with our complicated brains, are always trying to shape our environment to somehow bring us closer to this "ever-lasting paradise". I guess that's why we always strive for the idea of "success/money/fame/wealth/etc". But because all the things we do involve sacrifices either directly or indirectly, people have vastly different opinions on everything. Imagine that we have all these advancement, cultures and languages around us, I guess it just makes us perceive life as highly complex. Just my thought... But, I really like your perspective of trying to simplify things, which I'm currently working on. Cheers!

[@TimothyWard]

You make some really good points here Laser.

[@HeatherSt.Therese]

I've always been a simple liver. But now I've realized the most happy life is a simple life.

[@davidimpens4699]

I like your way of approching life! It's a breather to see u do your thing and you come over as happy and fulfilled. I agree life seems so difficult and confusing but its Not if you dont look at it that way.. thanks for this video :D

[@daisymaedog]

You are a very smart man. I'm so glad I found your channel!!

[@cherd5343]

I agree with these points for the most part, however, comparisons to lives in the past from the standpoint that they were "simple" or "easy" is problematic. What we would call a "simple, happy life" today is only possible because of the technological and cultural advancements that we have made as a species. If any of us were suddenly plopped into lives 200, 1K, or 10K years ago, we would soon realize that things were stressful, difficult, and dangerous as compared to modern standards. Yes, people today can hop in an RV, drive around, get jobs here and there, and live simple and happy lives. But, that is only possible because there are such things as RVs, jobs, grocery stores, and a society with laws and culture that almost ensure that nobody will kill you and take your stuff.

[@lisalamphier1410]

A major cause of death, until not very long ago, was drowning. Imagine that you had to risk your life every time you went to get water or did the laundry.

Great video! Great scenery! Great words spoken! Peace and Blessings Timothy:)

[@PHDinMeTV]

We have been enjoying unseasonably warm weather also! Life is not always simple foe everyone everywhere but many times we humans definitely make things harder than they need to be.

[@joankelly1277]

I love your videos. Thank you ❤

[@TheMidnightBandit]

When my life is so amazingly boring is when I choose to look at it as if it's challenging. I choose to look for problems. I choose to look for reasons to invalidate myself due to not having the stresses of others being productive. I really just want to make music and drive my car. Maybe snuggle my cat. I'm already making tons of music on my own, 473 beats on SoundCloud in 3 years. I really just want to maintain that. If I could travel and meet some of these people I know online that'd be beautiful. That's about it. My long term goal is to play my music on the regular at a music lounge, where people can appreciate my stuff. Like an art gallery, but for beats. That would be amazing.

[@westboy52]

Díky!

[@westboy52]

It's barely even a dollar, but thank you for sharing this.

[@Moshographeroriginal]

I like your message, but life is simpler for me being able to go out and pick a way to earn money, so I can pay for my needs rather than building my own home, growing my own food, making my own textiles. I get what you're trying to convey though, and in the bigger picture we have made things harder on ourselves.

[@billygoat9381]

I see people, Ima cut this way. 😆 That's the way I hike too.

[@markwhittaker6866]

Very true.

[@mattahlschwede4810]

I like your outlook. Keeping it simple makes life a lot easier, but, I hear a lot of people conflate a complicated life with civilization and technology. These two are easy scapegoats, but what's really at issue (IMHO) is how you determine your self-worth. What makes you say, "I did good today"? If you come out of the day alive, with your necessities, and feel that you have made the world a better place, (honestly, just getting somebody to smile or something like that), you win. This is even possible in the middle of the city, with modern technology permeating your life. Just remember that the technology and the city are there to serve you, not the other way around.

[@jeremytorgersen]

Excellent video! The simple life is where it's at, I love it! Also a huge fan of Bob Wells/CheapRVliving. This video reminded me about the book called "Civilized To Death: The Price of Progress" by Christopher Ryan.

Remember the scene in the movie Pulp Fiction where John Travolta character is talking to Samuel L Jackson character and one says "Im just going walk the Earth, and see where the universe takes me" and the other responds back accross the coffee table for breakfast "so you're going to become a Bum, you mean?" No....Im just going to walk the earth wherever it takes me( live the simple life/be a simple liver)...lol.

[@Simon-je7ko]

I think that everything is going way too fast for my taste. So I had to change things. I don't want to work anymore during the day. I work during the night. It's so much easier on the highway, it's so peaceful, it's quiet and calm. For years I did work for a lot of companies. But I was never offered a better status, a promotion etc So today if they would offer it to me I would say no. Why? Because I have the perfect balance between my life, family, job and happiness. So why change anything? To have more responsabilities and more pay? To completly destroy what I have right now? Stay at work during hours more just to fulfill the needs of my boss? No way. I prefer to create several sources of income. I think pretty much like Tim. All of this is not necessary for me. It's not what I want. One thing I would like to have. Be able to retire really soon. Do just seasonal jobs. Just like you are doing.
