What I Know Now | Life Lessons To My Younger Self

[@shesyen]

Your message to your son is so beautiful it actually spoke to me ( a stranger on the internet). Thank you!

[@jameschandler_]

Agreed :))

[@HaveAGoodOne]

This makes my heart full. Thank you!

[@robyn8221]

I needed that. Lennon is lucky to have such great parents. ❤

[@vickyt529]

Thank you Ben for sharing this. I have watched this so many times to really listen to what you're saying. Lennon is a lucky boy to have such great parents.

[@HaveAGoodOne]

Appreciate you, Vicky!

[@linhbaby__]

Dear Ben, I’ve been missing your content so much 🥹 It is always full of gratitude, motivation of being yourself, being happy and being present. Lennon will be definitely grateful for having you as a father ♥️

[@R0CK0Nbaby]

Incredible message and wisdom Ben! If you and Jenn made a podcast together, or even if you just made one on your own, it would be so full of gold

[@szszszsz95395]

Miss your content on the the tube! Please come back and post more!!

[@fairyferfer3118]

Such a nice video about a father's heart-to-heart talk, I can imagine that when Lennon will be big enough to understand what to be himself means, I think he will definitely watch that over and over again! And I really like your editing skills, very nice!

[@sunepapong1089]

Lennon is blessed with amazing loving parents ❤

[@owlsgurl]

This is absolutely beautiful video of a father to son 😍🤧🤧🤧🥺

[@rewatithapa1089]

Such a beautiful thoughts❤ thank you for sharing its means a lot n Lennon is so lucky to have you both as parents. Jen and you will best days of Lennon life.amen. God bless you n your family…have a happy n blessed life ahead❤

The wisdom you already have at such a relatively early stage of adulthood is so impressive. I've come across some people well into their 50s and 60s who are seemingly still learning some of these life lessons. Bravo! Was there a particular event or tipping point that made you become more introspective and emotionally mature? Any suggestions of how a wife could encourage their husband to look more inward?

[@HaveAGoodOne]

Thanks for these kind words! I think the two main moments for me was moving to L.A and Covid. Two chapter changes that forced me to enhance my perspective in life. Reading Eckhart Tolle's 'A new earth' + 'The power of now' and Michael singers 'Untethered soul' were all life changing.

[@linhbaby__]

@@HaveAGoodOneAww all these books are my favourite! (from your’s & Jenn’s recommendation of course)

[@olivedubz957]

@@HaveAGoodOnewould you recommend reading the power of now or new earth first? Or can you get away with just reading one and not the other?

[@plethoraria]

@@HaveAGoodOne It'd be interesting to hear more about those experiences and what you learned from them in a video perhaps? Thanks for the book recs! Eckhart Tolle's been on my list since you and Jen have both talked about him. Since you're interested in breath work, have you heard of Breath by James Nestor? Haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I've heard great things about it!

[@jenniferrcote]

Ben is back!!🎉 Beautiful words of wisdom, thank you for this

[@buicamtu4]

Such a sweet video. I'm sure Lennon will love having this video and all those snippets of your childhood to look back on. May he continue to grow in love and strength.

[@asfiyaazizah1307]

This is definitely the best advice i can find in the internet. Thank you Ben! You and Jenn is my ultimate role model.

[@sandrairo]

Omg, I'm crying! This was beautiful, Ben ❤

[@Hahadot]

Thank you for spreading positivity to us

[@nourafarih9822]

I love this. Sharing with my husband, we are new parents 😊

[@georgiejanee]

This is so beautiful Ben, so happy you have shared this with us and how time has flown for Lennon to be 2! parenthood is so special and really brings out a whole different person as to who you were before. Sending love!

[@eileenchang2173]

What an amazing 🎁 gift ! The actual collage of snippets of videos , photos and text is beautiful and technically well done! 🎉❤️🇨🇦

[@essmaxwell]

Unbelievable timing on this one - going through an intense acute anxiety period and have been feeling lost about it. This was beautiful and will be so helpful for your son.

[@annasingankutti5832]

Wow thank you so much for this video. I took a lot from it! 💚 you’re a great video maker and deserve more views Bennnn!

[@valerielow4572]

[@sooyonkim321]

This video is healing me, needed it now more than ever. Thank you

[@mada7660]

Happy to see you again Ben! Beautiful video as always

[@ClaireGenius]

I seldom comment and seldom find myself relating to the male youtubers’ videos, but this one of Ben’s is literally so beautifully written! It reminded me much of my childhood memories especially those with British cultures

[@gobunny8268]

so happy to see a video from you in my feed! i totally understand needing a break and of course i want you to post only in the capacity that works for you...but selfishly i want you to post more lol! in all honesty though, i truly love your videos and resonate a lot with your values and the words you shared in this video.

[@Juj324]

Ben is back and this what i needed and wanted to hear, thank you so much Ben. You and Jenn are really amazing😍 Lennon is so lucky to have you both ❤❤❤❤

[@Maiseevang]

What a beautiful video Ben. Beautiful and meaningful.

[@imsocorkyy]

So glad to see you back! Missed your incredible videos. Love this one and its message. 🙏🏾

[@StephanyByDesign]

Crying because I needed to hear these words for myself 😭

[@CookieFridays]

Some very poignant and timely words of advice in here, this is helpful even for grown adults such as myself. Thank you, and beautiful editing~

[@mollscadman]

This was so inspiring ❤

[@smokubo]

[@rewatithapa1089]

Beautiful thoughts❤

[@jameschandler_]

Love this Ben!

[@saamay1]

I was thinking yesterday about how I missed your YT videos, then this appeared :)

[@Wra8h]

Tearing up

[@Wra8h]

Never saw young Ben and now I realize how much Lennon looks like you!

[@sophiaywc]

This was beautiful ❤❤❤

[@xtinriver143]

Hi Ben, any chance we can learn breathwork from you? 🙏🏻Would love to learn about it and if you can please teach us basic breathing exercises that we can do? It’ll be so helpful for us who are not aware on how to do it and the benefits of it. Thank you so much!

[@neta193]

This is amazing ben thank you for your wisdom❤ Really needed to hear these words:) +The editing in this video is just 🤌🏼

[@awesomesheen]

I totally get it but I wasn’t expecting an ad in a video addressed to his son 😳

[@sabrinahsu9567]

I cannot wait for lennon to see this

[@pstt10]

Love everything bout this but the sponsorship bit lol😂

[@도종선-v7h]

벤 안녕

[@Helloshyy]

I’m crying in the club

[@shreyanagar]

You must be a librian.. libra sunsign 🙂 because all you said about yourself seems valid for me too. I am exactly the same 🤭

[@scrapingskies]

imagine watching a thoughtful video from your father and getting an ad for betterhelp in the middle of it lol. The overall message was lovely, but it feels quite dystopian to have put a sponsor on a video addressed to your child

[@jupiterbean]

I feel like a lot of his advice is contradictory with the fact that they put their son out there to strangers on the internet before he even knows who he is or can consent himself if he wants to be online like that. Idk just kinda puts a bad taste in my mouth

[@Inziagold]

What I learned is do not marry, the moment you find out you are pregnant leave him . Some may think this is cold but they didn't witness the beatings I went through and the two years of stalking when I tried to get away with my child. The marriage laws , having family in the justice he got MY child despite the multiple reports of abuse

[@Chicago2329]

This is so sad to watch now.

[@isolamar]

The house in the background feels so cold to me, no proper colours but only the neutrals.

[@Playsch00l]

did he just say 'hello my love' to a random woman

[@mintchoco1849]

That’s a pretty common way for people, especially people from the UK, to address strangers.

[@Chaucer129]

Loved this! Thank you Ben!

[@micacuyco]

I can't believe Lennon is turning 2 🥹 time really flies by so fast

[@storiesforscience9437]

This is so profound and beautiful. 🥰🥹
