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. 👩‍🎓

[@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)👌

[@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!

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!!!

[@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! 💡

[@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!

[@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.

[@StormStar5]

"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🤓

[@KingaGorski]

Really appreciate this mindset, wish everyone had it 💡

[@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!

[@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 🪴

[@KileyParker-gz5gc]

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!

[@Uncommony]

Discovering self-improvement, visionboards, discipline, and courage at the age of 32 after hitting rock bottom and stick to it for 8 years has given me financial freedom. Stay Uncommon!

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

[@Timi1111]

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

[@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.

[@npbedc]

Excellent video, Clark! Well articulated and the simple graphs have huge impact in supporting each path. Also, Obituary fan? Hell yeah! \m/

[@dominikh9526]

The Obituary cap is doing it for me.

[@macwildkat4917]

I'm really loving these newer videos. I've watched your channel off and on for several years now, and this newer stuff really comes off as authentic and speaks right to me. It's really great! I'm glad you do what you do. Thanks! 🙂

[@feromaog]

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

[@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

[@angelacacace3705]

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

[@SpikeValentine]

Shoutout to the fancy Obituary hat!🤘🏻

[@kevlartwinky]

Great video! Life is a school, you never stop learning(growing), because if you do you/your circle shrinks

[@krisztinabango2514]

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

[@redwave96734]

The title of this video was enough to shift my life perspective.

[@KingaGorski]

Sometimes it doesn't take much! 🚀

[@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

[@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.

[@freakuensea]

Massive respect for wearing an Obituary hat!

[@LorraineVirginie]

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

[@dawnd8687]

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

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.

[@user-gi5ez9io6s]

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. 🙏☮

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.

I quit my job 3 days ago to continue my KZbin journey. I have almost 800 subs, then yesterday I had a bunch of problems come up that made me feel like I made a mistake. Then today Ellen weir (a spiritual writer) got into my car (I drive Uber as well) and changed my whole week. But feeling like ya need to drink because of the uncertainty of running your own business....ya I feel that pain and struggle now.

What a croc of sh*t! I was poor and miserable. Started making money, happiness went up with it. I'm no longer stressed over bills. I get to eat what I want, travel, go to fancy restaurants, buy what's stupid gadgets and clothing I see fit. All of these have a compound effect on my daily happiness. Rich people are lying to you, if money didn't make them happier, they would have none.

[@angierox6964]

Did you watch the video? You may have missed the point. But congratulations on your wealth and I’m glad that you are happy! Not having enough money to pay your bills and eat is definitely a problem to overcome and it sounds like you did it!
