The Principles that Changed my Life

[@melissan9199]

Wow the fact that you know these principles at an early age, is so valuable. The safety one is so crucial. I’m 55 and I am just living by some of these in the last few years. You go girl!

[@TaylorBell]

So kind of you, thank you!!! Most def to safety

[@therichbuddha3277]

Different gen, we gen X'ers lived more dangerously! We called it adventure lol

[@tmn8547]

Yep! Taylor is young with an old soul. 😊

[@humphrey]

the grass is greener where you water it... love it!

[@TaylorBell]

Thanks my guy!!!!

[@LDS-i4h]

two youtubers I follow.. :) Yes.. the quote is GREAT. Another video. Buy the #@x$ coffee, that was great advice.

[@MakingaStink]

This is the best advice I’ve seen on the internet. I think I’m a successful guy in nyc in banking and as somebody who is over a decade older than you my biggest regret in life is being too wound up when I was young and not having enough fun. Chill out, life is easier than you think, youth is fleeting. Buy the f*king coffee and eat those sardines!

[@elexabroder9027]

As a 34 y/o, I LOVE that you are focusing on valuing your youth - you never know what tomorrow brings - so important to be grateful for today

[@TaylorBell]

Couldn't agree more. Thank you smmmmm

[@chloeshih]

Aw I love these principles! I def agree with all of them - esp with the grass is 100% greener where you water it. I feel you live life thru such a positive lens. It’s so uplifting and grounding! ❤❤

[@TaylorBell]

My gorl!! Thank you sm for watching. You're such a positive force yourself 😊 Lots to learn from CS!!

[@Chrissyboi123]

You're so right with these principles, focussing on the bigger, wider, longer picture in situations is always smartest. It's all life experience in the long term.

[@Cupcakiiiii]

So one of my principles will from now on be "Be more like Taylor" because honestly your positive attitude to life in general is so inspiring!

[@TaylorBell]

You are so kind :')

[@Wildsobermama26]

I’ve just learned alot of the things your talking about at 45 years old & 3 years of AA. Your ahead of the game kid! Enjoy the shit out of this beautiful, short life❤️

[@Entername-md1ev]

For me it’s always to be grateful for what you have. Not saying don’t strive for better or don’t look for others for inspiration but it’s important not to lose sight of all the good things in your life no matter how big/small because human nature will always want something that they don’t have

[@TaylorBell]

Exactlyyyy. Practicing gratitude every day has been so impactful

[@nevaehcoco273]

'...being okay of letting go of other ones' love that!!

[@mansisanghani412]

Hey... Great insight. Thanks for sharing. Also yesterday I came across this quote - "Being Rich is having Money and Being Wealthy is having time"

[@etrain8885]

I’ve had to work really hard to zoom out a little and tell myself “you’ll land on your feet, you always have.” Makes the scary and stressful times feel less scary and stressful. Great video as always :)

[@ozatanvi]

Life's a wild ride with ever-changing rules, and attitude makes all the difference! Embracing gratitude while still seeking inspiration is key. Taylor your videos never disappoint, they're pure sunshine! ☀❤

[@TaylorBell]

You are so sweet! And you said it best

[@eavanmages9961]

You are so wise! I am 58 here. Cherish those years, like you said. Because they fly!!

[@rohankamath88]

I've been following your content since the beginning, Tay, and I can honestly say that this is the single best video you've posted till date. It's just so simple and authentic and thought provoking. I love such content that doesn't really prescribe thoughts but encourages the conversations and introspection. Keep up the awesomeness!

[@TaylorBell]

Such an appreciatd comment, thank you so so much. And thanks for sticking around with me through the years 😊

[@alfredoorozco2212]

Love your videos...and talking about principles....Surprise factor is one of them!!! An unplanned swim in Malibu.. Fabulous!!!!!!!!

[@judevictor7240]

What a wonderful perspective on stressful times, I've never pictured it like that. THANK YOU

[@TaylorBell]

you are so welcome!!

[@Hannah_Mehr8484]

Taylor you're like the wise older sister I've always wished I had. Thank you for changing my life! I learn so much from you and I really aspire to become more like you as I grow older (I'm 17 now). I hope I make it. Hope you have a great day/night and love you! you rock!

[@TaylorBell]

You are the best!!!! You got this, rooting for you

[@Joy-hu6ow]

Wow great principles! Already 30 and still in the way learning and adopting these principles, esp. recently I got stuck in something and feel stressful. "Take a step back and ask myself will this matter in 1 year? 5 years? "Then there is the answer. Love U❤

[@crashboat01]

Good advice and a solid basis for navigating the up and downs we all face. Hope folks take these to heart and put them to good use! Have to say Tayolr that I continue to be impressed with how mature you are for your age! Gives me hope!

[@TaylorBell]

Thanks a ton Lou!!!! Appreciate the kind words always

[@MichaelPingree]

Always amazed at how wise your are for only being 26!. I really wish I had followed Principal 2 more in my youth. I spent my first decade post college absorbed in work and never really enjoying my youth. That's one regret I'll always have.

[@happyhoundsdogtraining]

This video showed up on my home feed, so it was my first intro to your channel. I LOVED it! Your principles were great, and you're incredible on camera. Awesome work! 🙂

[@MD-fr4xt]

You are awesome! And absolutely, happiness, living in present and with gratitude are invaluable attitudes. Some of the things you said may sound cliched but they become far more relevant and important as one ages, especially in your 30s to 50s.

[@TaylorBell]

Thank you so much!! And yesss I think so too

[@redskyz4426]

I stumbled upon one of Taylor’s videos on my fyp like two days ago as i’ve been looking at a lot of things nyc lately and oml she’s already on of my favorite youtubers. She’s so funny and helpful and just overall fun to watch. Plus i adore NYC. Keep up the amazing work!

[@pinkpanther0001]

That's so real. I spend so much money for food and coffee and many people told me to not! They always told me eating home and drinking coffee at home. But once they started go out eating they started to thank me because they woke up and realised that saving tons of money cannot give you fun and new experience. 😮❤

[@BeamAnak]

Taylor putting out her video (top-tier as always I might add!) on the same day as 1989 TV...this has been a fun day!

[@cellcamp5028]

C’mon Taylor, you’re blessed. Born with great looks into a loving family. Can travel anywhere in world you want to at anytime. Curated or not, some people got it made in the shade 😅

[@happinesss2]

The key here is really truly the loving supportive family… sooooo many people don’t have that and it’s so obvious when you see the ones who do how much better life is for them. Of course everyone has their problems so not diminishing that but that’s such a blessing, truly…

[@cellcamp5028]

@@happinesss2 🙏🏼 Amen

[@Caramel_Nedra]

I’m 38 years old and my ex fiancé died from cancer. I sat in my depression coma for a really long time and he’d be upset about that but oh well. I’m child free and have no attachments. I’m going back to school for a bs in business administration with a concentration in entrepreneurship If I can get a routine down so I can finish college and not have my ADHD ruin it, I’m moving to NYC. It was my dream as a 19 year old and is still giving me that itch at 38 so that really means I have to go.

[@courtneyswart8216]

Never put the "boooo" over yourself ever again!!! You bring me so much joy and i hate to see you beat yourself up. I hope to meet you one day!!!!❤

[@TaylorBell]

HAHAAH I'm sorry I couldn't help it. It's all in jest 😂 Thank you soooo much for watching 💜

[@kexunye3950]

Thanks Taylor for creating high quality videos as always!!

[@TaylorBell]

Thank YOU for watching!!

[@jamesbrackiniv]

Love these principles, would love to hear others you live by. I always try and live these!!

[@jurgendelahaye8413]

Great video as always and yeah make it a series I'd watch it all and I'm sure I'm wouldn't be the only one

[@sterlingmarshel6299]

Spending less time on social media will make you happier. Spend more in-person time with friends and meet new people. Trying new things, sports, hobbies, small concert venues, and walking in new neighborhoods (especially if you live in the city). Ignore "gurus", it will exhaust you. Spend on what makes you happy now - tomorrow is not guaranteed.

[@duncanidaho6151]

I love this. Enjoy your life. Have fun. Spend your money on things that make you happy. Being young is the best.

[@sarahecho]

I absolutely agree with these, and you're lucky to have these convictions at such a young age. I wish I'd had this outlook when I was your age. ❤

[@Phyrogenacious]

Being present and mindful is super important and I've certainly put far more effort into it over the past couple of years. Still room for improvement though. Really like the appreciating your youth point, I need to do more of that. Great vid!

[@TaylorBell]

Heck yeah! We're in it together

[@Phyrogenacious]

@@TaylorBell Appreciate the reply, keep it up!

[@sallyphillips9175]

I just turned 56 on the 7th, so I'm 30 years older than you! You are *NOT* old! Definitely enjoy your youth while you can, cos honey it'll be gone before you know it. I don't know how the hell I got this old. I just graduated high school like 10 years ago ... or that's what it seems like! "The grass is greener where you water it." I LOVE THAT!! **Your hair looks GORGEOUS!!

[@sitrakaforler8696]

Really love the The grass is greener where you water it. ;) Life and faith are like waves of the sea (and light) aka with lows and highs :)

[@federicopersia]

So I guess today must be Taylor’s day! First the new TayTay 1989 TV and now a brand new Tay🐢 video! Loved the content, as usual!

[@stefanmarcu1969]

Just discovered your channel and I can tell you have a consultant language and style of structuring your videos. Clear, neat, smart

[@eerinoneil]

i loved this!! can totally relate to all of these - especially when it comes to guilt free spending. At the end of the day, the $3 coffee that I grab most mornings gets me outside and out of my 600 sq ft apartment and it's one of the best parts of my day! i love visiting the people at my local coffee shop and sipping on something warm during a morning walk😊 a little spark of joy that gets you in a great headspace for the day is worth a little spending!

[@TaylorBell]

UGH even the way you described it-- $3 sooooo well spent. Love it

[@soniamoraleschemistry]

Thanks for always sharing great advice! Regardless of what type of video you do, you always prepare very well to give good content.

[@TaylorBell]

thank YOU for watching!

[@edwardtakenaka5647]

….this is the only video I’ve looked at twice (besides music)…congrats on 375k 🎉

[@steveeuphrates-river7342]

That's a great perspective- to enjoy life while you're young, realizing where you are on your life timeline. You'll get old, body parts will start falling off but you'll have all these great memories to look back on. :)

[@NorseMan633]

Just another gem of a video Taylor ! You are indeed wise beyond your years. All of your stated LIFE principles are very true. Everything that you purchase is a value proposition in your head, beyond something that's an absolute necessity of course, (i.e. rent, cell phone, etc.) I love no.#2, "Buy the f**kin coffee" ! Lol ! Very well said ! P.S. Love the new view from your upstairs room. NIce! Question, have you done a walking tour of your new neighborhood yet ? Would be kool to see! Thanks for posting ! Peace !

[@TaylorBell]

aw thank you so much!!! And def more NYC tours/vlogs to come very soon

[@chappym2]

Life according to Taylor :) This is one of your best videos yet. I'm happy to see someone fairly young who is remarkably mature. Carry on.

[@iju_an2484]

Taylor…. Thank you for these principles! YoU ArE AwEsOmE!!!❤

[@MD79247]

Watched your videos before you had so many subscribers and knew you would succeed... you are an awesome unique soul... really making the most of your "present incarnation" ... truly helping raise the vibration of the USA 🇺🇸 and planet Earth 🌏... 👍 🙏 😊

[@ryaninmtv]

The booing during the self promotional intro was classic Taylor. Hilarious and well done 😂

[@TaylorBell]

hahahahaha thank you thank you 😅

[@nathanyoder4509]

Apparently besides being a business consultant, amazing content creator, and comedian, you can also be a life coach Taylor!!😂 But seriously great video and awesome principles!! I will say as someone who is almost 30 and contemplated mortality a lot in the past couple years I do think life can remain as fun or get even better as we age😊 I agree with you point though!!

[@TaylorBell]

Couldn't agree more!! And aw thank you x1000 for the nice words hehe

[@edwardtakenaka5647]

I love love Taylor Bell….she’s real….she’s a genuine human being….she loves to laugh ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@varvaraobolonchykova1607]

I really love your videos. They are comforting, cheerful and very down-to-earth, even though you are doing great job orchestrating the mood for videos vs usual life, obviously. Principles mentioned are worthwhile, no doubt. But, unfortunately, there come periods… and suddenly your country is at war, your friends are dying, and there is no fluctuation on this mood, it’s endless black hole sucking you from inside wherever you are and whatever you do. Honestly, I was such in a good place 600 days ago, that now it seems surreal. The only principle that survived with me these days - adjustability is all you need. Do small steps and don’t think about tomorrow.

[@TristanSharman]

'The grass being greener where you water it' is such a good one and puts into words some experiences I've been having recently! Awesome video, I'd love to see the mini series idea come to light 👀

[@TaylorBell]

Sooo glad to hear you resonated!

[@iguana9173]

Just the video I needed for my Friday. I really enjoyed this video. 6:57 that dress looks pretty on you.

[@edwardtakenaka5647]

Yes! Yes! Yes! More principles please! You must’ve studied philosophy also as you speak so elegantly. This is truly valuable to everyone your age & older. Look forward to hearing from you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@360.Tapestry]

awesome to see how much this channel has grown

*Wow it's a good day when you post taylor , also i remember you once said that in the past you did modeling, I'm not surprised because you are so beautiful and gorgeous and perfect ❤you are so pretty it's insane, i especially love the color of your eyes* 👀.

[@TaylorBell]

So kind, thank you!!!!

[@SManSte]

I'm your age Taylor and this video really resonated with me since I'm in a not so good spot right now. Don't have my future figured out, still living with my parents, albeit am earning money for myself. Your principal #1 in my case is 'that fucking PS5 on Black Friday', so I am definitely going to buy it and (try to) not feel bad about it. I don't know what the future holds but I am confident things will sort out. Cheers for the awesome video and definitely looking forward to more!

[@alexandershubert573]

I just wanted to say what an enormous inspiration you are for me and my friends 🙏

[@TaylorBell]

Can't thank you all enough 💜

[@anthonyalvarez124]

I'm still here, been busy on my Social Media! Awesome video, & great advice! Looking forward to your next knowledgeable, and entertaining video! 😎👍

[@Heellooo_]

I like your attitude towards life! Im also 26 years old and, like you, I still haven't figured out life (that's a tough problem 😅), but Im pretty sure your approach to life is working for you, you radieate happiness and good vibes. I love people that try to focus on the bright side of life!! Best wishes from Spain!!

[@TaylorBell]

Such kind words!!! I don't think anyone has life totally figured out, but that's sort of the beauty of it I guess 😅 Thanks a bunch for being here!

Happy Birthday Taylor! Good advice :)

[@TaylorBell]

Thanks my friend!! 😊

[@Andrew-p7q]

Hey Taylor! I enjoyed this video you should make it a mini-series! 😊

[@miggyhidalgo5056]

I swear when Taylor Swift released her 1989 TV album today, I immediately started listening to it because I'm a Swiftie. Then when you released a new video just a couple hours later, I immediately started watching it because I love to be a part of the turtle gang (I was gonna say because I'm a Bell...ly? 😂). Anyways, by far, I think this is truly the most informative and pretty motivational video (I would say) you posted. All these life principles that you have may just help me change my life too. I guess it all boils down to just making the right decisions, work hard, be patient, trust the process, and at the same time, enjoy life. Sorry for the long comment. I guess there are now 2 Taylors motivating me now! 😅 Love your vids, Tay! 😊

[@MartynaBoss]

Thanks God for Taylor 💝 Love your videos Girl! Learning from you

[@VIM731]

4:30 Momento Mori...directly translates to "remember death" it was/is a principle of Stoic philosophy. Hey I love your latest KZbin video. This is the type of content I think many, if not most, would love to see more of from creators like yourself. I have been unsubscribing from many channels I've subscribed to but your channel is not going to be one of them. Thanks for great content!

[@starvingbymidnight]

3:00 that is highly true however every convenience all adds up at the end of the month. So any justification made might cost you extra $3k a month for conveniences. But keep it to minimal like Uber late at nights etc. All good. Can't put a price on your safety.

[@questions6366]

I am writing from Turkey, I turned 32 and it saddens me that time goes by and youth goes away. Of course, what matters is after death. To be able to go well to the place where there is eternal life. The other world where there is heaven and hell. Unfortunately, my English is poor. I'm trying to improve my English by watching your videos. happy lives

[@peterpapastafidas5584]
