Stop Waiting. Honda Civic Type R Therapy Drive (POV Binaural Audio)

[@oak_lef8408]

I'm only 20, but I work at a small company as a mechanical engineer and this honestly made me think pretty deep about how I want to plan my future around my happiness. Thanks man the wise words as always!

[@DB-sd3cw]

You should go into lesbian dance theory instead honestly a much more lucrative career path

[@ruskeee]

How are you a mechanical engineer at 20 if you graduate high school at 18 and it takes at least 4 years to get an engineering degree

[@anthonyantoine9232]

@@ruskeee You don't have to already have a degree to be an engineer. I worked as an engineer in essentially an apprenticeship while I finished engineering school starting when I was 20.

[@ibeentossinaunties]

@@ruskeee bro all a degree gon do is make you look more “appealing” then someone without one, at the end of the day if anything if someone with a degree applies at the same time as you only they might get picked over you😂

[@hhaste]

@@ruskeee You can graduate high school before 18, if you're smarter than everyone else etc.

[@FHamedFH]

Your sincerity here is so madly appreciated.

[@ryankenyon5010]

You are wise beyond your years. It took me 50 years to figure that out. You're killing it.

[@Tonyk24]

I’m currently waiting for my class to start and definitely needed to watch this. I’ve been been feeling pretty miserable for quite sometime. Definitely need some change in my life. Thanks Tedward, appreciate this video more than you know it!!

[@wr1ght939]

Reach for the stars bro. Take the hard right, you got this!

[@MilichOppenheimer]

I was having a really bummy day recently, got my ass up and drove around for a couple hours and got photos along the way. Can't even express the way it instantly made me feel so much better. Definitely recommend it if you have the chance, even if you don't have a car hit up your friends, they might be needing that quick escape too.

[@tactical9897]

Man I loved hearing this. Buying a ‘23 si this year and the financials have been stressing me out but it’s something I’ve been dreaming of this for years. This is a great reminder to pursue what I love

[@dawsonjohannes613]

Josh, you’re beautiful and I love you.

[@chrome_hectic]

This video gave exactly what you intended it to be so beautifully. As someone who some of us see as a "successful guy", you became real with us and gave genuine heartfelt advise as to the reality of our everyday lives. It's always about the "One day i'm going to make it" mindset because we're so used to seeing the "zero to hero" trope being played out in the world around us via KZbin, TikTok, Insta, etc. Which doesn't account for the fact that the vast majority of us will not have that story to played for ourselves. 0:40 was visceral. I felt how raw you were in the most casual way that you are when you said you're just starting to figure out how to make yourself happy. It hurts to know that these dreams of not having to work 9-5 sitting in an office just to keep the paychecks going will be a big portion of my life and that I myself will always keep chasing something bigger. It felt like someone talked to me about a shared relation even though we are nothing alike. Thanks for this video, need it :,)

[@mcnbns]

Four months ago I finally bought my first car, a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder Kia Morning, MANUAL. I have had my driver's licence for just over ten years, but I'd been putting off actually owning a vehicle, continually thinking exactly what you said--that I should have just a little more money saved before I take the plunge. Now I have learned to drive stick, and am enjoying ripping around in my very own car instead of just dreaming about it while watching KZbin. Carpe the drive!

[@adamek9750]

Ditto got myself a first car, 3 cyl 1.0 litre Peugeot 107 (rebadged toyota aygo). Finally getting the confidence to drive now.

[@ryanmichaelpower]

Got me a 1.0T 3 cylinder Civic 👍👍👍

[@mikkokivisto4414]

Safe travels.

[@danielmembrillo6472]

Beautiful message. At the end of the day, everyone has to find "their happy". And that is why I take my GT350 out any day the sun is shining. Appreciate your videos.

[@EddieFly00]

This summer my life changes. I’m starting an aviation maintenance internship and I’m overwhelmingly excited! I’m so excited for the future that my life holds. This is a huge step to working my dream job!

[@alpacamybags118]

This seriously resonates with me. I have a good job, pretty financially secure but feel miserable all the time. What you are saying is what I've been starting to realize over the past year or two as major life events have happened. It's good to hear validation of what's been on my mind for awhile. Thank you.

[@fosci978]

I live in Poland where winters are cold and summers are really beatiful. I somehow find that i and generally other people are way more happy when it is sunny and warm day like in your video. Can't wait for spring to come :)

[@thegecko7582]

9:47 I love your offhand comment/reactions to what’s happening around you 😂 I too talk to other drivers and people when I am driving places

[@GrindhousePerformance]

Knowing you, this therapy drive hits hard. Dead on the money start to finish. For you to take the time to record this with everything you're working on in CA, this had to be burning deep

[@ers1027]

What a great Ted(ward) Talk! Smell the roses and never settle. So proud of you man!

[@adammarkowitz7944]

Here's what's happening to Tedward: he's from the miserable northeast where the sun shines four minutes a day and he's in beautiful Southern California and the sun is filling him with enthusiasm, joy, and love for his fellow man(and dog). Enjoy your trip, sir, and try to remember these sentiments when you're back east.

[@maxnewts]

I’ve been needing this. I have wanted to start my own company for a while now building my own bicycles and expanding on the world of micro-mobility, but I’ve always said “oh, maybe after I get my degree”, or “oh, maybe after I find a stable job and get some disposable income it could become my side-hustle” - but that’s unsustainable. The ethos in that isn’t capable of allowing for human joy, and it’s time I started to listen to myself and go and live a more fulfilling lifestyle. Finding the romance in everyday life is quite hard, though, I will admit…

[@pascutia]

I really enjoy watching these drives where you talk about life. Feels like I’m being mentored😂

[@NBPT428]

Take your vacations!!! I always did and my corporate buddies didn't always get it. and don't check your work phone, email, etc. until you get back. YOU EARNED IT!

[@GARR0N]

Amazinng video Tom! I'm glad you're startining to see more of a emotional payoff for all your work! Your videos always cheer me up whilst I'm eating before motervating me back into my work. Love you big guy! :))

[@TedwardDrives]

Thank you!

[@rekt_n_line]

Great video man, I really needed it today. I've been struggling lately because I've been living my life for someone else for years. Now that I've helped them get where they want to be, I realized that I'm not happy where I am. I kinda lost my identity along the way and put all my goals to the side for someone else. This is definitely the motivation I need to make some positive changes in my life. Thanks Tedward.

[@ItsOleg]

At that point rn too and I agree this video definitely helped motivate me to take a step back and start to think of making some positive changes.

[@austinobambino1360]

Nice tC

[@quang_le]

This, and the video where you rant about the speed limit in America, are my all time favorites from this channel. Yeah, the cars you drive and review are great and all, but as a person who's just becoming an adult, these videos with insight and you expressing your opinion about life is priceless. Thank you Tedward.

[@khedamilesalemane5971]

I am obsessed with this car

[@rescuedandrestoredgarage]

The wife and I started a KZbin channel and started to work on our project cars. we have a few, lol. Love working together, and we both love classic rides.

[@ConeDodger240]

Along the same lines I think the biggest lesson I learned into my mid 30s, is that it's ok for the definition of your dreams to change. Sometimes that idea of your perfect trajectory changes as you grow older and your perspective on life changes. Trying to fit the current you to old you's ideal mold can be exhausting and demoralizing.

[@blakejohnson9455]

I really appreciate these types of videos because its been hard to get the ball rolling on some things in my life, and also hard to relate to many people at the moment. Videos like these always make my day a little better

Well said man, I went full time on KZbin at 29k subs. It was a massive risk but it paid off and I am happy. I totally understand what you mean about filming cars and it wearing you out sometimes you have to take a step back!

[@shadtography]

This video and this channel is the absolute truth. I'm sure this hit hard for all engineers and corporate workers out there cranking out their 9-5's who are also car enthusiasts. Cali vibes are also unmatched, gotta love it! This channel will be even more successful in the upcoming years, this is only the beginning!

[@koroshiyashinigami]

Totally agree with the 6:20 mindset thing. Vai to! Stop waiting for "till I have this or that". The thing is time's running out LIFE'S running out! Just enjoy life while you're alive, we think like we're gonna live tomorrow, we just might not, so just live while you can! 🫡

[@bobbykhan5787]

Never thought I’d hear you say you’ve been to Bangladesh (my parents are from there)…that puts into perspective for me how much you were flying

[@ecaam]

love these ted talk videos

[@Crypticdragon1]

This was very nice to watch. You're basically doing what I loved doing in my old protege5, just cruising along whatever roads are closest to the Beach. It's great sometimes just to get out of the house, take a drive with the windows down, grab a coffee and vibe to some tunes.

[@Dragonmedia06]

I’m currently waiting for class to end this helped pass the time I really needed this thx Tedward as a high school student I really appreciate the advice

[@javianjohnson8746]

Listen, you are absolutely SPOT ON about taking advantage of your time-off from your jobs and how these corporations will literally fire you and replace you like you're nothing if it ever came to that. You said a lot of things here that definitely resonates with me. Btw, can we all take a moment and just adore the amazing view at 6:18? My goodness thats angelic!

[@jlabaugh]

This takes me back. Was stationed at Camp Pendleton, there in Oceanside, from 1995- 2006 and drove those exact streets countless times! Great perspective and great car!

[@justwingingit1]

Words of Wisdom Tedward!!!👍👍👍 Since you’re out in Calif…just a suggestion for you…perhaps a drive to Carmel. Laguna Seca,Beautiful drive back to Southern California on Highway 1,etc. Clint Eastwood owns a hotel in Carmel that allows you to dine overlooking a meadow of his PET sheep and a view of the coast beyond. It’s raining this coming week but maybe the week following? Having said that…as you said…everyone needs to find their happy place and a lot of times they’re free! A sunrise,sunset,a drive anywhere,etc. I’ll close with Carroll Shelby’s thoughts regarding watching his cars being trailered around…used to piss him off because he built them to be driven! So…if you own a performance car…no matter how collectible/rare…get out and enjoy it every chance you get!!! Tomorrow is promised to no one…

[@_IMNNO]

I was in Downtown Los Angeles today for jury duty on a murder trial. This video turned my mood around and made my day.

I also live in MA and I used to love doing solo road trips in Maine. A tank of gas can be all you need for a vacation, great advice.

[@shirt9913]

Recently I've been very introspective about this type of stuff, getting to the point in college where I am thinking about how I want my future to look. I enjoyed listening to your takes, it gave me some more perspective about the very things I'm worried about.

[@misterhat6395]

Only thing harder to find than a Type R is that parking space

[@MattPhillipsTheFirst]

This was a great, grounded view on how to pursue the important things in life. The fact that it's being delivered in a Type-R in Cali is that perfect icing on the cake. Great vid brother.

[@ARentz07]

I needed to watch this. Work has been a load of barnacles lately. I have been feeling tired first thing in the morning. I need to make a change!

[@jwynn11]

Great video Tedward, definitely needed to hear this in the morning. What I’ve learned over the years is learn to be happy with what you have now rather than waiting to find happiness in things that’ll come in the future. Glad to hear where you came from and seeing where you are now, it’s inspiring!

[@NathanRofail]

I love when you make these kinds of vids Tom! Just driving around and chatting about life. Keep up the great work :D

[@gcsi2477]

thank you so much for this video i’ve been putting off so many things and i was just waiting for the moment to hit me and i felt like this was that moment to start i have been looking at life in such a negative way since starting my job but i want change and i think it’s time

[@trappart9209]

I see it like that: it is good to both validate your struggles and to see positive things in our lives. This video was really helpful to bring up some important questions and ideas. Thank you and stay happy!

[@catboyroxas474]

This is honestly great. I just booked a hotel last night to go on my first solo trip in April using the mindset of "I just want to go" instead of putting it off for one reason or another. ^^

[@lttsr]

Love these types of videos. Last November I got hired in a software job that pays me well enough that I can just go enjoy myself without having to put too much thought into it. Leaving my last job was risky since this is an entirely new venture in a startup company but I just decided to just “do it.” Before I was stuck in the constant cycle of “no I don’t have enough money to do this or go here” but now I can now take 2 trips per year instead of 0. My dream of exploring the country and the world is slowly coming into fruition. And now I have a car I can mod to my heart’s content so I’m truly grateful

[@Paynos]

Needed this, thanks man

[@mefiii6725]

[@Stranger--]

I really appreciate your wise words as I enjoyed the iconic views in your video! Being a car lover, I aspire to do what you're doing one day, but I understand how much effort it takes to deliver the high-quality videos that we watch and enjoy. Though I may pursue my own path, the car community will always hold a special place in my heart and I'll continue to enjoy going for drives.

[@isuq8791]

Amazing video! I'm genuinely gonna take this to heart and I think I speak for a lot of your viewers when I say I am really grateful that I have your videos to watch in my spare time. Thank Tedward going to stop waiting and make the best of what I've got amazing video as always.

[@RyanRoadReaper]

This is just what the doc ordered after getting laid off today. Thanks, Tom!

[@TedwardDrives]

Ahh damn! Make the most of your time between jobs. It’s frustrating if you don’t know what’s next but once you have the next job, you’ll wish you did something when you weren’t an employee

[@RyanRoadReaper]

@Tedward I'm probably going to head for Key West tomorrow. Gotta do it while gas is still relatively cheap!

[@sweetwea]

As a girl starting college I haven’t given too much thought about what I want to do, but what I’m expected to do. I started driving in a 9th gen slowvic and I know it’s more than what most people start in but it’s given me a taste for driving. I was attracted to your videos when I was learning how to drive a manual. Had to go through about ten different people to find a car to practice with. It’s impossible to get what I want when I’m just starting out in life, but I’m beginning to get familiar with the process on my free time, making connections and that’s what makes me happy. I definitely wanna see some stuff before the world goes to shit and I wanna do it in a nice reliable car.

[@PhilSterBoy]

You should do more of these!

[@josephiousbrosif]

This video was so surreal due to the amount of times I've cruised down that exact road

[@AdamKlingenberger]

Just moved from US to Finland for many of the reasons you stated. Part of being happy is also investing in your everyday and not saving up for vacation or big purchases. Many people put up with long commutes or worse communities to chase a bigger paycheck or larger house. A smaller home in a better (hopefully walkable) community, with a shorter commute will do more to increase happiness than an extra week of paid vacation per year. That's just one example to make a larger point: the need for a vacation (read: de-stressing) is directly proportional to the stress you experience each day. So make sure to have your everyday in order, even if it means a pay cut or fewer material possessions.

[@fhiey3200]

Ted, this video was incredible. Great advice, great mindset, you’re a very down to earth guy. Life is short and risk taking is scary but a huge part of life and success. I’m glad you took the risk and you deserve all the success you’ve found. Cheers from Colorado:)

[@sn4rl277]

Actually your driving the car I want to buy in the near future. Please remember you are very blessed to be doing what you do. I know it is still work, but I hope you enjoy it. Because you are 100% correct about layoff's. I went through my share in 2009, and I am afraid there will be more this year or early next year for some folks. Keep up the good work.

[@ConnSoIo]

This video is what I needed. I have been kind of down lately and I always find enjoyment in your videos, specifically the FL5 ones recently. As an owner of an Sti hatch, that thing makes me super happy but I always feel like I need more in life. I want to travel, I want to explore the country, I want to be able to do what I want to do whenever and like you said, just make the time for it. It always comes back to money though, it's tough to do what I wanna do and make the most out of life even though my life motto is "Live in the now". One day I hope to be able to live my life to 100%

[@caffeinefix2751]

Man, ive ben putting off buying a type r for awhile im working towards it, but I still have the same excuse everytime i get close to being able to do it. But after watching your video it made me realize how fast life goes by, the type r is my dream car, ive wanted one since I was young, but couldnt afford it till now, just never pulled the trigger because im always worrying about the "what if's" so im just gonna do it and not look back. Thank you ted 🙏

[@Fordguy1997]

Sage Tedward. This is what separates you from the rest.

[@ruthlessracing973]

Wow i didn't no how much i needed to here this thanks

[@hyper_channel]

What are the odds, this type of conversation I have with myself almost everyday and I even applied some of it to my life. Life is tricky man, and depends a lot on your interpretation of it, most of the time chasing your dreams and making progress towards them is 10 times better than the actual dreams fulfilled. A lot of the nice things that are present in your life right now you are taking them for granted and one day you will miss them if for some reason they are taken from you. Be proactive about finding joy, take steps, planning is fine but you have to act on it, even if it's not a perfect plan it beats doing nothing.

[@BentoLiang]

Hello Tedward! I've been watching your video for a long time, and this is my first comment. I definately agree with you, most of us will not be a millionare, all we need to do is get a tank of gas, take several days and run away to wherever we haven't been to before. And this is what I'm now planning to do.
