[@antoniolucas2965]

thanks for sharing this video man. I'm 35 and One thing I learnt in life is that no matter how little, no matter the age it's never too late to get started and having the mindset that every day of your life you're evolving. Life becomes unpleasurable when you add too much pressure. I started my path to reinventing myself a year ago, I’m now living healthier, confident, stronger, making 6 figures, having leisure to enjoy family &friends. I feel happier and living my life for myself . This is to encourage someone “you can start anytime to have a reset it’s worth it! I’m striving to continue growing cus it’s a journey 💗

[@marcosalvatore673]

Congratulations ! Thanks for encouraging others with your story, I will love to get tips from you too❤

[@antoniolucas2965]

Change your mindset, read self-help books, expand knowledge, budget and don't spend on impulse, save, take your finances seriously, eat healthy, exercise your body, meditate; the list goes on... I hope it is useful to you.

[@stevestone8740]

Congratulations to you that's a great accomplishment keep it going 👍

[@antoniolucas2965]

I learnt to be frugal, minimal on spending, saving and paying myself first through Investing, made Plans, growing passive income, Read a lot of books on finance, followed my plan consistently.

"Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor." - Alexis Carrel I had to save that one. Thanks Dan, your videos are straight inspiration and tremendous value to so many.

Me too it really hit me hard this saying and it's true what you do with you're time is the chiseling process!!having balance is really important

[@infinitelogicmachine8587]

Rebuke: marble cannot move on it’s own, so it cannot chisel itself… unless it’s not really marble and it’s alive and it has some kind of control

[@ithinkthereforeitalk935]

@@infinitelogicmachine8587 Where's your logic? Or you can only add numbers together but are unable to think creatively? The marble is your identity and the sculptor is your mind. You can influence your identity by taking control of your mind, that is, by detachedly observing your thought patterns and making a concious desicion to change yourself.

[@sidneytouch]

Love this video. ♥️ I was a Buddhist Nun for nearly 2 years and still on going study. It is a lifetime journey. My first language is Khmer (Cambodian), second is English. I study many languages that’s part of my roots Sanskrit, Khmer Boran, and Pali is a Buddhist language that I must say it is very deep and in depth meaning. Sometime I struggle to find the correct English word for Khmer and in Pali. English translation in Dukkha is not just suffering. I wouldn’t called it suffer. That is why so many words comes up for Dukkha meanings in English. I can say Buddhist (Buddhism is not entirely about suffering in a bad way). The meaning of it, like Dan said people take it wrong the word “suffer”. You take that lessons you learn along the way that’s good and/or bad from your journey the pain, the sadness, unsatisfied, failure, accomplishment, joyful….ALL and you fix it to better yourself in the next chapter on your path. Dukkha results is not suffering as translation or whomever is delivering the lesson. For anyone who’s interest to learn more about Buddhism I do encourage for you to study Pali and Sanskrit. Thank you so much Dan! All of your videos I’ve seen so far is exactly what I have come across in my business journey. I will be 43 years old soon and I pray there’s many more will turn to you and others for guidance. 10-20 years ago there wasn’t much but now there are. Thank you and may the universe continue to bless you and give to others 🤍🙏🏽

[@JoeiDee]

i love that you bring "metaphysical" ideas into your video messages. one of the only creators I know that ventures in that territory in a practical and relatable way

[@ryanfrank4299]

This video does make me feel better about my failed website, failed video game, failed KZbin 😅 What I also never realized when I began is that each step would take years of my life. I'll admit that these days when people question whether I can commit to something for the rest of my life I tell them of course not and I hope the current project ends sooner than later because it's already getting a bit boring. The difference now that I've got some experience is that I actually finish what I start.

I was on the fence about KZbin Premium for so long, and I finally got it in 2020. Within 2 minutes, I was like dude this is so worth it. Being able to put your phone in your pocket and still listen was a gamechanger. My life has changed so much, and I’ve learned so much from YT Premium that I would cancel every single streaming service before YT Premium now.

I never comment on anyone's channel but wow, your words ring more true that 90% of the KZbinrs out there. It's relieving to hear what you have to say about the ups and downs in life and that both sides will always be changing. Thank you for being honest and not giving bs content

[@user-ec6me3rz4e]

recently found you (im currently entering my entrepreneurial journey) and you have been soooo helpful. i absolutely love your mind, content and especially how you deliver your messages. truthfully in ways you’re acting as a mentor for me and i genuinely appreciate it. anyway, i’m thinking all of this… then you mention you’re in arizona tooooo!!! somehow having this in common felt like an odd but comforting confirmation that i’m where i’m meant to be. thank you for your hard work and authenticity 🌼🌵💛

[@sandyf1632]

Your philosophies Dan, provoke thought and give “will” to humanity. I am so grateful to you. The biggest challenge I have had on my spiritual enlightenment journey has been “taking action.” You have taught me that the experiences of loss, failure, or error are the most motivating experiences to take action, learn something, and kill procrastination as they create the human urgency and will to survive. You really got me off my ass! Shine your light forever brother! 💖🙏💖

[@sandyf1632]

@Dannkoe I’m currently busy taking relevant courses for my online side hustle, which will be the smaller learning platform for something bigger. I am a kinesthetic learner, so the experience works for me. I work FT so I’m up @5am for alternating spiritual time/cycling/yoga, then courses, then work! For now, Twitter is still just a read for me, but it will grow along side everything else. Thank you for your amazing courses, and empowerment! 🙏

[@jbchannel88]

"You're changing people's lives by changing your own." That is a powerful statement!

the point on spirituality is so resonant. I loathed the idea of actually doing the physical things for so long but realized it was getting me nowhere at all so now I actually do stuff and unsurprisingly, it's going quite well.

Thank you my man!

[@pawelkapica5363]

I made the mistake of pursuing spirituality way too early. While the concepts and ideas still hold value, I realized I was using it as a form of escapism. This held me back in so many ways. Only recently I started to develop a balanced view of reality, where neither materialism nor spirituality are the single answer, but both must be mastered in order to grow.

[@kevinchisango1629]

Really excited for your book! I've been on the youtube space for years now looking for an a creator that I really resonate with and the way you always tie your spiritual journey to your entrepreneurship is golden. Resonares deeply with me.

It's just a pleasure listening to you...few years ago I used to get energized by such intellectual lectures and discussions but didn't have any mentor from the west who would talk about these topics in depth. Also, I got in rut and forgot my top inclination. And now again I am reviving my lost passion and listening to you gives me mental depth.

[@jesseburgardtart]

Brilliant. Love it. Love it. I was just writing about this topic. But, YOUR explanations are impeccable!

I also live in AZ. I was born and raised in Phoenix. I now live in the mountains. Much cooler. I also walk every day. I haven't had a vehicle for years. I would like one day. Even if I do not need to go anywhere, I still walk. It's now a strong habit. I listen to Alen Watts every night before bed. Listen to audio books, KZbin Premium and podcasts while I walk. So much in common except the financial success part. That is my fault for the reasons you stated here. However, I am now pushing myself to do the hard things to make life better. Great content Dan.

I work as a psychedelic therapist, and I help people grow out of this conformism you described, and go through the necessary spiritual crises to grow up to be their authentic selves. I have developed a systemized process throughout the years and it's something I want to share with everyone as an online business. I'm hoping your course will help me crystallize it into a service.

This kind of mindset and perspective is what I need! I am going to implement it as I can, and test, explore and see what comes out. It is true that I have been so lost trying to get to the core of the core, going as deep as possible but having faced not that mamy real challenges. It's a game changer for me to start understanding what other possible dynamics lie under reality. This process of going for just a challenge, moving externally and exploring internally... Just picking something. Even if it's not trascendental yet. I like it. Well, I don't, I'm afraid of what comes out but excited so let's do this
