[@garrettley6353]

I adore this. There was a time in my life when I was 22/23 that I truly felt on top of the world and able to conquer anything. Now, I’m 28 and so fueled by fear. This video put me back in touch with the part of myself that could conquer anything 🥹 it’s truly amazing and almost brought me to tears. Thank you for this

[@TheAleksandros]

Lol same. I'm also 28 and it's insane how much I've turned into a fear-ridden anxious wreck since I was 21 :S

[@pkpknao.2604]

❤

[@jenac549]

Same here... 28, is excited but also a little bit of mix feelings

[@ZettoMedia]

Same here 😕 27

[@Ray-iz7tv]

You guys are really young still, just go out and do things you want to get done. Don't worry about failure.

[@gabrielgrassmayrtoo]

"say yes now, figure it out later" damn I'm gonna put that quote on my wall

[@calypsoelise]

same :)

[@ColtKirwan]

Glad to be a part of the Karizaverse 🤩

[@iam.friesen]

@ColtKirwan is that you min 2:46? wow

[@timelesssoul-inf1N87]

I love you both so much 😭🤧💗✨

[@TheSageSpartan]

I just lost my “safe” job as a video editor at 25 and still living at home, I’m now in a transitional period where I have to decide ultimately what the next few months(and years) are gonna look like for me especially now that I’m getting older and family expects certain things. I thank God for stumbling across this video you really inspired me and it feels nice to know that there are other people my age group not really knowing what they’re doing either but “figuring it out later” love that mentality and it’s something I’m definitely about to take with me moving forward

[@scarasmooches]

I'm also 25 and I'm in a somewhat similar situation. This transitional phase has been talking a toll on me too - I have figured out what I want to do to make the shift to the next phase of my life but there are a looot of uncertainties and it is a very risky decision so I have been very afraid to take the leap. This video inspired me to take that mindset and trust myself, trust that I am going to figure it out.. Anyway, I hope everything works out for the both of us 🙏✨️

[@ThatDrumerGuy]

What a coincidence, I'm also 25 and an aspiring filmmaker stuck in a transitional phase. It's comforting to know that there are other people out there too going through the same thing and I'm sure we'll all make it out together.

[@nasiflatheef2890]

Hope you figure it out in your own pace and style. That's what Ig I'm trying to do too.

[@itsaisha37]

Reading these comments really warms my heart. I'm 25 too, going on 26 in 4 days lol. I too am currently trying to navigate a transitional phase. I left a job to pursue my passion, but it's been a struggle to keep things afloat on the financial front as the upkeep takes a lot. And I do want to pursue my dream however, I know I'd have to get a stable side job to financially support myself. I'm grateful I recently got a nice opportunity to fulfill that, something that will also give me a bit of time to work on my own gig, so that's a relief. But ngl, I'm very scared to juggle these two responsibilities. I think I'm strong enough, but man I'm nervous. 😅 I feel, growing up, I put a lot of emphasis on having it "figured out" by a certain age, like, by 25. A job I liked, certain financial independence and well, idk, a life that makes me feel happy. And boy was I super wrong.😂 Life has a way of throwing many curveballs but over the course of the past few years, I've grown to embrace the changes, ride the wave, instead of fighting it. And It's honestly so freeing. I really hope we all never stop having this faith in ourselves, be it 25 or 85. So happy to have stumbled upon this video. Such a refreshing reminder. ❤

[@katharinaalf]

Same here! So many people seem to be in the same boat at 25. Definitely makes me feel less alone 🙈 I’m about to quit my ‘safe’ but stresssful job because it’s affecting my mental health and i want to do things in my own way rather than following a more traditional path. It is super super scary but long term I know it’s going to be the best for personal growth and happiness ❤

[@slay2081]

For the past 3 years I’ve been struggling with the feeling of stagnancy in my life, adapting myself to my routine and avoiding any little change that could possibly be risky. Living with the guilt of wasting my youth is really suffocating and I really hope I can draw inspiration from your mindset 💞

[@leah986]

same. I think this is happening to so many people rn since covid hit. but we have the power to change it up :)

[@jeurytavares33333]

I can totally relate. How old are you Slay? Sometimes we focus so much on what we have missed that we forget how much more ahead we have. And the exponential growth thanks to the experience factor.

[@piikoi1650]

Literally just go outside, walk around, and talk to the strangers you meet. Anything. Hey did you happen to see the where the deodorant was? Oh my god I'm so glad I chose this line. How are you doing?

[@mostfrozenburrito]

This is advice I needed. I’ve been in my bubble and I feel guilty about it and I grow more restless and frustrated the longer I stay where I am. I’ve been working a job I hate for the last four years and I just need to jump into something new. I need more courage to say yes to life

[@gianz73]

Don't stay in your bubble, but keep going outside. Engage in social activities, sports, entertainment, nature, even learning (eventually take your books and tablet and go out). Do things and meet people. Think pragmatically. In your search for a new job, consider what you like and are good at, but then set goals (even "small" ones like writing a resume) and put them into practice. Overthinking doesn't make things happen. It just makes you stay stuck in an imaginary world of unfulfilled possibilities. Fear is human, but things won't turn out as bad as you imagine and will make you grow anyway. Everything you DO opens up new doors. But doing nothing only keeps you inside, both physically and mentally. So, again, get out of your trap-den. Good things WILL happen. Good luck!

[@itsfelipesanches]

@@gianz73 beautiful response - appreciate that Gian.

[@gianz73]

@@itsfelipesanches Glad it helps, Felipe. Out of experience: you mind will talk talk talk endlessly to "protect" itself and the status quo. Don't fall in the trap and keep living in reality, where things really happen and the growth is. And while at it, don't forget to also have fun! Best of luck

[@f9nineteen]

Ive been doing / engaging in this kind of mentality since I was in college so that’s more than 5 years now. It brought me the highest of highs as well as the lowest of lows (thus far) but I have zero regrets! ❤

[@michaelwaffle7393]

This is the way of life. There are always highs and lows

[@ElleOfTheMills]

period!!!

[@FernandoFajardoChannel]

Thank you so much for sharing this video! I'm at a point in my life where I don't feel like I'm "participating in life" because I work from home and study my degree online, and my big weekly outing is going to the supermarket for groceries or getting a haircut haha, but the truth is that I've wanted to do something different for a couple of months now that makes me feel alive again. I've been wanting to do a Eurotrip for years and finally have the financial resources to do so, so your video gave me the courage to go on a trip for a couple of months and do something that really forces me to break out of my routine. May you continue to seek out and find adventures that make you feel good about yourself! Meanwhile, we'll be here waiting for the next video:)

[@LifeOfRiza]

so glad to hear that Fernando!! :)

[@yeseniab6219]

loved this comment!!

[@NeedSpeed39]

Haha man, same situation here ✌️ have you made the trip yet and how have things changed?

[@maximuscosmos5545]

"I think that there's a time to say no to some things but there's also a time where like you don't want it to hinder your growth and I feel that is a season that I am in"

[@iamsassyb]

I'm currently the saddest and unhappiest version of my life. I want to quit my traineeship and get a higher degree so I can go to university to learn the skills I really wanna learn. But I do not live at home and I have rent and food to pay. I'm scared to quit. But I know it would be worth it.

[@DanielsBrew]

Beautiful video - it's a good reminder to all of us, to break away from the norms we've all grown up with and to challenge ourselves to truly go out there and explore all that life has to offer us. Thanks for sharing Riza!

[@maximejkb]

Unbelievably good storytelling. Beautiful message. Thanks for making this!

[@luizinbrzado]

I'm literally marathoning your channel and I'm loving it. It has helped me to solve some things in my life and awakened a motivation that disappeared last year... THANK YOU!!

[@silentopedia]

I thought I was the only one suffering in my comfort zone. I have always wanted to get out of it yet couldn't gather the courage that it takes to get out. The risk is the word that scared me the most and till date I find myself living in the bubble. I won't totally blame myself for this, I believe all of the habits are because of the environment and beliefs that I grew up with. But this video today has helped me, even for a tiny percent I got a new perspective. I'm happy that I found this video today when I needed something like this the most. It's all about taking the risk or regretting later.

[@tylersales4057]

the moment I saw on the paper the "say yes... figure it out later" the biggest smile came across my face. I've been doing this as I've reached my senior year of high school and am wanting to make the most of it. Part of it to make it to college and succeed, the other to have fun and take the opportunities of youth. Its amazing.

[@leelylamp]

Yes! I love this mindset and I really resonate with it :) I'd like to believe that when we're in a position to say 'hell yes' to certain things, it already means that we have the things we need to be able to successfully ~figure it out~. So here's to figuring it out together and taking the plunge this 2023!

[@zactivitiesonly]

as a fellow creative, the thing that I envy about your films is how well you can organize these personal reflections into words and stories. I feel like I truly tend to want to create in a similar way or maybe just from a similar place. Anyways, great job being able to express a thought. I'm only just now taking action and taking myself seriously as a creative so i have to say thank you for your inspiration.

[@AndersonNguyen.Official]

I can’t believe I just found your channel yesterday. The cinematography and storytelling is unbelievable. Amazing stuff! ❤

[@alexander-xc5od]

I just graduated high school and I'm going to be a film student. I'm a little bit scared to begin to live life and to be on my own and this video just helped me so much to see life from another perspective and to be more confident about myself, about my future and the control I have in my life. Also, your cinematography and video editing is top tier, I've seen like ten videos of yours and I'm just stunned and amazed of your work I hope you go far in life and enjoy that talent that you have.

[@charvii8336]

something about the shots and music and her calming voice just hit home

[@lornaspencer4731]

Girrrl I am so happy I stumbled across your channel just now, the energy, the storytelling, the cinematic quality ✨ I've been hesitating so much putting off making my own short films but I'm feeling so pumped up for the day after watching this, can't wait to see more, new sub 💞

[@esharose17]

Thank you so much❤ This morning I cried and stressed out about my life. I tried to get out of my comfort zone and now I am scared. Thank you once again, it reminds me why I am here in this situation right now.

[@blueberrycheescake8738]

Your content is like a balm for the soul. Thank you for making this.

[@ProjectLM_]

This resonates so much with me, the past few years have been me relying on things to stay steady, stable, and routine. But then learning to just act first, think later just works out so well in so many situations, and in most worst cases just results in me learning how to make better decisions. Moving to a new city in a few weeks and just seeing what happens seems so exciting!

[@poffstarr5897]

I agree. I think routine is so important that we set times for ourselves, but also that we nurture our spontaneous side. That we live carefree, for me I have a dedicated morning and night routine because then I can show up like I need to as my best self. Hope you’re doing well!❤

[@JenlKirby]

I love your bravery! I am leaving teaching to go figure it out. I have moments when I wonder what I’ve done by resigning, but then I realize that there are many more options that will help you succeed than there are reasons your decision could destroy you. Best wishes!

[@LaytonObserves]

Absolutely beautiful video. The vibes, immaculate. The message, sensational.

[@matthewtorres8132]

Love the saying "say Yes now, figure it out later." This is the mindset I and other Rockers I know use for shows we want to go to. We buy the tickets without even knowing how to go to the show or where we're gonna stay lol but that's what makes it so much fun. Cause we'll figure it out on the way

[@King1CurtisLOLZBros]

Been letting life just show me its way, glad you've help me differentiate that it should be the other way around. Thank you!

[@JohnnyRushh]

Just found your channel and this video has brought me so much hope. Use to think my life was at a dead-end recently but just going for the unknown seems to have worked even if it's not something that works for me. I'm just grateful to learn and continue on living a life that I don't want to regret. Live, Laugh & Love to the fullest.

[@Carlinisms]

thank you for sharing this video. i recently lost hope in many things in my life after a few events with family members, heartbreak, moving to a new place, loss of life, health scares and COVID specifically transformed my reality. i know we've all had a difficult last few years but these ones felt extra tough. it felt like everything in my life was slowly being voided until i watched this video. it gives me hope in my own dreams and has also reignited the aspiration to continue learning more about myself every single day. i'm very excited for this new journey and again, i sincerely, greatly appreciate this video. wishing you all the best. ❤

[@allceg]

Riza I quit my job not long ago to go into my own venture and I just stumbled across your video. What you said really resonated with me and I really thank you for this beautiful video. It was exactly what I needed to hear today and it reminded me why I am doing what I’m doing. You’ve got yourself a lifelong supporter & subscriber! ❤

[@erlendveras2994]

It's really interesting to see your ability to put into words what many experience. The biggest change for me, is not that there's no more risks, but that the risks/choices seem to mean more. Sometimes I've stumbled, but you at least always stumble in a direction. We figure out as we go. Superb video!

[@leoarlequin11]

Your videos are so refreshing, inspiring, I'm currently changing my mindset and your approach is pretty similar so I'm happy other people can learn that from you. Keep going, you're amazing !!

[@danifuent]

I think your videos are what I've really been needing lately. Thank you.

[@itsjohnsantana]

Ever since elle shouted you out on her stream I’ve loved seeing your videos. Wonderful cinematography and editing. Also there’s so much heart and good advice in it all!

[@mustafaabdulla5622]

I cried a lot after watching ur video, it’s really hits my feelings, brings up nostalgia, show me that I’ve been through a lot in order to be who I’m , I will always take risks in order to seek my dreams and passions, thanks a lot, ur video inspires me up ❤️❤️

[@loverofstarz]

Life has been passing me by. I’m 28 turning 29 and I just feel empty and alone. I want to take risks but I’m scared. I hope i find the courage to chance

[@Sandeep_kaur007]

Hey stop focusing on age and start working on your goals. Journaling and meditation will also help u with emptiness.

[@darkbluedragoon1059]

I'm going through this now - I feel confident in myself but stagnant in my life. I just quit my 9-5 today in my home city and am moving to the UK at 30. I'm not worried about how it will go, I'm just excited to put myself in the ebbs and flows of life again.

[@aislycarrillo]

i just had a mental breakdown at work because i felt overwhelmed by all the responsibilities i have and still pursue my dreams and have a life but youtube recommended me this video and now i feel kinda better, thank you so much for this, it helped lots💕

[@las_lucas]

There's no words to described it, your videos are just breathtaking, literally. Thanks for it!

[@daphne2185]

Just found your channel, your videos are so well filmed and edited - I’m shocked you don’t have more subs. As for the message, thank you I really needed to hear it

[@mojoro24]

A beautiful movie. Thanks for making it. I've had a wild few years, and I've allowed fear and hesitation to take over. I needed to hear this today. 🙏❤️

[@uunzillaishaq6522]

you're such a free soul!! so inspiring

[@lilyannepham]

Hi, I just wanted to say I love your videos, the wisdom behind them, and the positivity for just going for it. ❤ An instant inspiration to me, for sure :)

[@xuanngocho879]

I love your positivity and peace you brought in your video, hope you meet a great journey in the next, as well as with the people who are facing stress, and vagueness in life

[@marvingproductions]

Out here making me cry tears of inspiration. Thank you for this.

[@touchofperu]

Can't stretch enough how much I love love love this video in particular. I'm going through so much stuff atm and this is exactly the type of video I needed to watch. Thank you Riza! 🤩

[@lyvieyra]

It's so good to know you're not alone in this

[@jamiemcdonald5647]

"Say yes now figure it out later" 🤍 so true love the video!

[@leslieledezmasalazar8523]

Thank you destiny for sending me here at the moment I needed it most. Blessed are the possibilities that the universe gives us to growth❤❤❤

[@ransoph]

ur videos have been a great comfort to me. glad i stumbled across your channel. thank you

[@xTenshiAi]

I feel like this video perfectly summarises how I've been feeling this past year. I've taken huge leaps of faith by saying yes to things even when I wasn't ready. But eventually things did work out because I believed in myself and tried so hard. I think that's something I need to continue doing. Saying yes to things and embracing uncertainty.. I'm so glad that I stumbled upon your channel Riza. I really needed to hear this. I'm also reaching my late-twenties and I think a lot of us in the comments are going through similar transition stages.

[@rashinidilthara5798]

Just found your channel and checked out a few vids. Totally vibing with it - like, this is exactly what I've been searching for. Thanks a bunch! Your videos really boost positivity and self-confidence. Keep rocking it, girl

[@haileyjennelle]

Thank you so much for putting out this video, I've been trying to change my mind set in this direction as well and this video is really inspiring to see. It makes me excited for life and what it holds!

[@sliceofpie1741]

I love the idea of figuring it out. Of course it's not something I haven't heard before but you said it when I needed it the most. So thank you love. Have a beautiful day

[@lovelee_zhi]

oh god .. your video is so calming yet the words you say are so powerful. I get moved by it for real. You never know how i feel so lost lately. I convinced myself to affirm that getting lost's okay and figuring it out later. But still, i feel so anxious day by day. I can get rid of it; sometimes it's getting hard to handle and become so stressful. I think i need to take some time for myself. Thankyou for making this video

[@danahrosecollantes1471]

your videos truly healed my soul. ❤❤ your channel feels like my safe space where i can snuggle with my warm blanket.

[@marjoleintjev]

Suddenly stumbled upon this video again and I totally forgot that I got the quote “say yes now, figure it out later” from here. It’s been written on a sticky note which I stuck on my mirror earlier this year and now we’re in december and things have changed so much for me this year. Some for the better some for the worse but also some of the best things came along this year. Things I’ve never expected I’d be able to do. But I said yes and figured it out. Normally I don’t have much with quotes nor do they stick but this one? Yes. This is it. I’ll be taking it with me into 2024. 2023 was the year of doing the groundwork. 2024 is the year of getting out there in the world and live. Thank you so much for making this video, it helped❤️✨

[@n.lately]

I love this! It's a mindset that I'm hoping to apply this year too - last year I spent too much time being afraid to take risks. Your storytelling and cinematography are so inspiring and I can't wait to see what you create in 2023.

[@LifeOfRiza]

Thank you! You got this 🫶🏼

[@imwne_3421]

so? may we have an update ? :)

[@Vvictormendoza]

Dude, you’re an inspiration. Love from Sacramento, CA.

[@Megg028]

Thank your Riza for your art; this video, although thematically possibly not as profound as some of your other videos, hit a nerve with me and touched me deeply. Thank you

[@smilingalpaca1025]

I love this! Growth is done outside of our comfort zone. I needed this ;")

[@collinmills2362]

Thank you for making this. Many blessings to you.

[@iansimon4791]

It’s always so refreshing and grounding to watch your videos!! Really puts me back into perspective and this video really reassured me to where I’m currently at in life.

[@YokaiGyaru]

I’m bawling 😭 thank you so much for the reminder 🙏❤ ‘say yes now, figure it out later’

[@me-metanoia]

I think we all are brave, energetic, fearless and bold but in every one's life there comes a phase when we doubt ourself and filled us with different fears. In this weak times, we need ourself the most for ourself.

[@anjanamohanofficial]

Thank you so much for this! ❤ this feels like a pivoting point for me..

[@TheComfyBagel]

I feel you! live life now.our life is happening and we have options to explore! :)
