Not gonna lie, this video really helped me out. Keep grinding bro, you're helping the world!

[@niketuck9687]

As a Christian you just helped me identify how the devil is attacking me bro It isnt just some “resistance force” it’s the devil keeping me from who I need to be!

[@Skyelar111]

Your videos are helping me through my healing journey, thank you🤍

[@theabrahamdiop]

Glad i can help

[@mrbedhead24]

Bro you're so well spoken! I totally relate to almost all the ideas that you elaborate on in your vids and the way you can articulate all your thoughts into almost a step by step guide on ways to improve is such a useful and impressive skill. Really glad I discovered your channel

[@mwendesworld]

I just found your channel from another video & wanted to say it’s really refreshing to see people my age (I turn 20 at the end of the month) that I can relate to. I’ve unfortunately struggled with perfectionism for years like you mention in the video. I’ve watched a lot of self help videos and content on procrastination so I’ve heard a lot of these points but honestly just seeing you doing your thing and relating to you helped me in a different way if that makes sense. You have a really natural energy about you that grabbed my attention and I’m coming to realize more and more that I don’t have to be over the top or edit like crazy or even engage with other social media platforms in order to have an audience. I’m gonna be real I haven’t even finished the video I paused to comment because this inspired me and gave me a bunch of ideas on how to move forward lol. Keep up the good work!

[@youssefsui]

Found this yt channel randomly. And i love your videos bro fr. Your videos and thoughts are literally what i think of everyday as a17 yo teenager but im just so lazy and comfortable with procrastination to start and apply my ideas and goals. as you said i need them so bad but i still procrastinate those tasks. but after watching your videos i actually started to get my shi together a lil. The only thing i struggle with is social media, i just cant leave my phone sadly. But ill surely find my way to quitting that shit. Anyways love your work man your actually one of my favourite youtubers rn. Much love.

[@JamesFullelove]

really good video. one of the best on procrastination. it's easy to say 'just do it' but to go through and explain why we procrastinate and how to get through it is really cool

[@Kaymula]

Thank you for giving your resistance analogy. I feel like the word procrastination has been watered down.

[@theabrahamdiop]

i agree. wanted to give a different perspective

Thank you man deep down i really needed to hear this I appreciate it

[@renatomoraes2229]

I'm 24 years old and currently a journey so to say to try to cut off all external distractions such as social media and evolve in other aspects like getting better grades at college, read more, exercise, etc. It's hard but watching your videos on those topics are helping me with the process.

[@tyford4879]

BACK WITH ANOTHER GEM👏🏾

[@iheartkristal]

you’re 100% right! something that helped me get things done are attacking the most important tasks in the beginning of your day, so by that time your day ends, you’ll enjoy your time doing things that you love or feel less restrictive by (from his example: watching your fav netflix show) i promise you’ll feel much better knowing that you accomplished what you needed to do, and now you get to do the things you were looking forward to.

[@Dreagonn]

I love your videos bro it’s so nice to find someone with a similar mindset keep up the good work🔥🔥🔥

[@floortje_]

I only recently started watching your “self improvement” video’s and I really enjoy them :) your voice is so calm and relaxing and I like the way you organise your video’s, can’t wait to see more!! :)

[@theabrahamdiop]

Thank you! glad you’re liking the videos!

[@timeoutvisuals6137]

You gained my follow after this video.. your articulation and metaphors hit different.. and your description of resistance being the quote on quote procrastination hit home. Then you saying the first thing you thought of when you clicked this video is the thing you need to be doing right now or after you’re done watching … All spot on 🤝

[@yktfv3407]

this is genuinely inspiring bro, i’ve been really struggling for a while and recently trying to gain a true understanding to what’s holding me back and your perspective is truly eye-opening and this is only the second video i’ve seen from you. i have an idea now what i need to do and hope i follow through with it but anyways thanks for doing what you do man cause it really is impactful 🙏🏼

[@ordinarytony]

IK RT ITS ACUTALLY BEUTIFULL

[@Tes-ec1md]

Great video bro I have been in a lazy slacking faze in my life since I graduated hs. I got comfortable and let resistance beat me. I never knew what it was I just knew something was holding me back. After this video I’ve realized that I am resistant with a lot of things in my life talking to a cute girl or working on my clothing brand. Keep it up bro!

[@andrewcotter6807]

[@yungange2371]

Love your work

[@m11w888]

The thing I do is observe when I get in that lazy spot, then I'm like 'ight chill one thing at a time', and the next day I wake up eat a healthy breakfast and hop on my bike and ride round the city just to enjoy the moment but to get more fit. From then it's like the universe knows what I'm trynna to do and it keeps in store more fitness within my life, swear down this works fitness like running, cycling going to the gym is my addiction when I get addicted to the lazy spot on a phone playing too much games, love this video man speaking the truth and more kids, teenagers/ adults need to hear his more beacuse this is more common then we think, all the love man ❤

[@Stephh99]

4:50 you did NOT need to call me out like that!! Just discovered your channel and I love your approach to life. Looking forward to binging your videos and working on rewiring my brain lol

So much value in this video, well done

[@theabrahamdiop]

appreciate it!

[@Javiville.]

you seem very articulated with your words, excited to see where you take this channel!

[@theabrahamdiop]

thanks man

[@accountantbobqoq]

3:50 I struggle with this as well. I have bursts of motivation every so often that feels like it overwhelms that resistance within me. However, when I've got major assignments to work on (Essay, Study for exam), I tend to go for smaller, more easy tasks like organizing my To-Do list more efficiently, outlining/working on lesser assignments, sometimes even tiding up my desk or room. I am being productive by doing these things, but I'm still avoiding work towards the pressing responsibilities. I think it's that instant gratification you mentioned. Funny enough, this video popped up on my feed while procrastinating.

[@herbofwar]

you’re very cool! i’m glad you decided to start uploading on youtube :)

[@stacyalicia7081]

I'm 22. This is an amazing video. Thank you so much. Between this and the phone addiction video its changed my life.

[@incoopnito]

Cool to see this, writing my college essay rn and my topic is about that fear playing into resistance

[@aly8950]

Ironically this video has been sitting around on my watch later for a month. I'm definitely struggling with procrastination even with small tasks, but hopefully this year I will overcome this.

[@zainliftstheworld]

thank you Abraham.

[@bluehaven8472]

This was so real and chill

Buen video bro, tienes buen discurso, gracias a eso puedo entender tu inglés por completo.

[@sodab4805]

I enjoy listening to your videos, I find some videos (and just the general world at times) to be very overwhelming. I don’t realize how stimulating everywhere around me is until I get home, and when I don’t have the urge to do anything. But, what I absolutely love is cleaning when I’m home alone. I’m alone, with my thoughts, I don’t have to talk to anyone for a period of time, it’s just me myself and I. I make a list in the morning of what I need to do, and because I am home alone, I don’t have anyone to worry about (as in, talking to people, socializing, etc). I put lo fi music on the tv and I leave my phone in my room. I leave it under my pillow so if I ever go into my room for whatever reason I won’t see it, and I’m less likely to use something if I don’t see it. Maybe what I said makes sense but maybe it doesn’t. Sorry if my comment is long. Edit: I made the comment BEFORE finishing the video and I agree, out of sight, out of mind.
