i love the quote too, gets me fired up every time lol

[@dheeraj-santhosh]

But even here, the importance is given to walking further than the walk, which beats the purpose of the quote I think.

[@Nox342]

Journey before destination! ✨

[@liamzgb]

good take. honestly as nice as all these quotes are, you can always interpret them in different ways that might even contradict one another. i still like the general principle of enjoying the journey vs the destination regardless lol

[@ribztercabz2222]

as someone who likes walking but sometimes doubt with what's even the point of doing it, this quote comforts me in a way, so I'll remember this quote. I'll keep walking not because I'm going somewhere or I have to do it for fitness, but because I like doing it, that's the only reason that matters to me.

Normal is just average. Why would anybody aspire to be average?

[@liamzgb]

i shit on the idea of mediocrity all the time because i think people settle for worse lives than they deserve, but it’s also all about perspective. a mediocre life in canada where i live for example is a pretty good one when you compare it to what the average person is going through in some other places. everything is relative.

Being the outcast used to be the weakness In modern times with crazed out societies, it’s the strength.

[@liamzgb]

haha that’s a good point, i just wonder if there’s ever been a time when people *didn’t* think their society was crazy. honestly though, being different for the sake of being different is no better than conforming for the sake of conforming. the type of ‘outcasts’ i admire are those who critically think about everything/everyone they allow into their lives. the whole point is not to let societal pressure stop you from being your authentic self. easier said than done though lol

"The reward for conformity was that everyone liked you except for yourself". Learn to define, to content yourself with some specific thing and some definite work; dare to be what you really are, and to learn to accept with good grace all that you are not.

[@liamzgb]

i wrote those ones down, thank you bro. real shit haha

[@ckdraws410]

So true. I think we should acknowledge that everyone liking you is a significant reward which greatly enforces conformity, especially for those of us who have been consistently rejected for failing to be “normal.” Human connection is a need, and isolation is problematic, but obtaining acceptance by pretending to be someone you’re not doesn’t work out so well over time either. The trick is finding people who appreciate your true self

[@liamzgb]

important point. damn every one of these comments is giving me new ideas for things i wish i mentioned in this vid haha

[@Wrench-Monkey24]

yeah how about the kids who got socially abused their entire school period?

[@liamzgb]

it fucking sucks & it creates a real type of lonely, helpless pain that most people can’t relate to. all i can say is that school is pretty much the only time in your life that you’re forced to spend all day every day with the same 20-30 people. after, when you enter the ‘real world’ (i hate that expression but school really is a bubble), you’ll be much stronger for it. keep being you, & remember that people who put others down are the very last people worth listening to. stay true to yourself and the right people will come - you already found 1 :)

What do you mean by "no one can disrespect your boundries"? Can't people always disrespect your boundries? Bullying is still a thing especially for outcasts and you can try to ignore it and pretend it doesn't hurt you. But trust me it doesn't work like that. I am just curious what you mean by this comment, and am genuinely interested in your opinion, this is by no means criticism.

[@disraelidemon]

At 58, I've lived this without ever really meaning to. At school I was always the weird misfit kid, but I think I was genuinely misfit enough to understand that trying to fit in wouldn't work for me - I could either waste my time being a poorly done inauthentic copy of what my peers found acceptable, or I could just stop worrying that people laughed at me and enjoy being myself. College was pretty tough - no unkindness or bullying, it was just very lonely - but I eventually found a bunch of friends and something I loved to do and my life has just got better as I've got older. I never did so many things people think essential - never learned to drive, never got married, never had kids - but if I fell under a bus tomorrow I could genuinely say that I've lived the life I wanted, one where I prioritised the quality of existence over long-term goals. So thanks for putting this idea into words. Can't wait to see what my sixties are like.

[@liamzgb]

this is an awesome comment to read, especially hearing it from somebody who’s clearly walked the talk your whole life. it’s so relatable, the realization that you can either be a shittier version of everybody else or the best version of you. i think the sooner that lesson is learned, the happier life is. i also think that true happiness comes from finding genuine peace with things as they are, and it sounds like you’ve achieved that. wishing you all the best!

[@Ek70R]

You are awesome and wish more people would listen to that and actually act like you did earlier in life. I was the missfit that tried to fit in all of my adolescence and 20s. I am 30 now and believe me that shits you up. I wish I would have been myself longer and enjoyed my company more instead of worrying so much about what others think of me, I still do to a lesser extent. I am 32 now and trying to improve on that, so hard tho

[@liamzgb]

[@Mystic_Paths]

Being outside of social circles can sometimes mean avoiding the conflicts and drama that come with group dynamics. You might find peace in solitude or in smaller, more meaningful interactions.

But sometimes the loneliness is too much. It hurts like broken bones, trying to understand why everybody leaves, or why you're the last pick for anything. Hurts too much.

[@liamzgb]

no doubt. we’re social creatures & loneliness is one of the hardest things to cope with. but you have at least 1 more person to talk to now :) keep your head up & don’t ever be scared of talking to new people. start with giving simple compliments (ex. ‘i like that shirt’) & you’ll be surprised by how many people light up. it makes my day every time i can make someone else smile.

[@ckdraws410]

You need to find people who appreciate your true self. Much easier said than done, I know. I only had one real friend until I went to college, and I would even pretend to her a lot of the time as well. I had learned that if I didn’t pretend to be someone I’m not, someone who was more “normal” and palatable to most people, I would face severe rejection. But gaining connection with people by putting on an act isn’t really gaining connection. Your real self will still be just as lonely, so you might as well be authentic since it might help you find people who will truly accept you and appreciate you. Once I left home, I realized that the problem wasn’t that I was unpalatable, but that the people around me had narrow palates. I hope you have a similar finding Side note: a big part of this journey was realizing that I’m probably autistic, and finding people who are also likely autistic, or who at least understand that different is not a synonym for bad and who will work to meet me in the middle in terms of communication differences and don’t get upset with me for mostly talking about my few passionate interests

[@liamzgb]

“gaining connection with people by putting on an act isn’t really gaining connection.” 1000000% agree. if you don’t already have a platform you post your thoughts on, please find one and do it! your comments are thoughtful and will help people like your younger self.

i think one difference between people who love & hate it is the motivation behind it. being different for the sake of being different is backwards & only makes you more dependent on the norms (so you can always do the opposite). being true to yourself & not caring whether it makes you fit in or be an outcast is where the real freedom is.

“you are under no obligation to be the same person you were just a moment ago.” - alan watts you didn’t lose any of your individuality, you probably just stopped doing the things that made you feel like you ‘had it.’ that’s a good problem to have, because the solution is easy - just start doing it again, one little step at a time :)

Being an outcast can be liberating. As Kierkegaard noted, 'Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.' Embrace your unique perspective; it often grants clarity and freedom from societal constraints. Your path is your own to shape.

I sometimes think that nowadays people don't do stuff purely for fun, out of interest or for themselves. Everything has to be documented and shown around, every little thing. It's easy to forget that to achieving something great is a process and that process can even take years. That's why intrinsic motivation is so important, if you rely on anything outside of you to continue for years to come you are set up for failure. But if you yourself are the motivation then you can accomplish great things. Remember, nothing worth having in life comes easy. Motivation isn't everything, you also need discipline.

[@liamzgb]

absolutely true. i’ve definitely been working to find the right balance between documenting and creating - this video is the first one on my channel that felt right. you just reminded me of a quote i heard: “you won’t rise to the level of your motivation. you’ll fall to the level of your discipline.” thanks for the comment :)

"EASY CHOICE, HARD LIFE" I recently made a pretty major decision within my life that curated a thought similar to this.

I'll choose to take a challenge, if it means I'll thank myself later on for it.

i think that’s one of the beautiful paradoxes of life - ‘easier’ choices often end up creating harder problems in the future, which means that the ‘harder’ choices are technically the easy ones. i’m glad you’ve figured it out too, makes me feel a bit less crazy for thinking it lol. thanks for the comment :)

Nice. "The person who enjoys walking will always walk further, than the person who enjoys the destination". I love that quote. I've been playing volleyball for 2 years, and about half a year ago I had the chance to play for a club. A few weeks ago I had my first match (I, of course, started on the bench). When I got subbed in, my heart started racing, and I was so nervous because I didn't want to mess up and disappoint my coach. I messed up the first two serve recieves... Then it hit me. I was nervous because I wanted to show everyone, that I was good. In that team, I played volleyball for the shortest time (2 years), and almost everyone else had at least twice as much experience as me (some even up to 6 years). I started thinking. I'm one of the youngest team members, and I have nothing to lose. It just clicked in a second, and after that, I wasn't focused on not messing up. I focused on what I love. Volleyball. From the moment, that I started to enjoy playing on the field I was much better. This crucial thing in sports is something that you can't teach a player they have to experience it themself. I love how you discussed this in the best possible way!

[@liamzgb]

there’s that corny ass quote that “if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.” i think your story is a good example of that. it’s ‘work’ in the sense that it’s hard and takes effort, but if you learn to enjoy the effort, i think you become really hard to beat. that ‘nothing to lose’ mentality has felt like a cheat code for me haha

[@naalex132]

I don't know if I should be commenting like this or just some witty joke or throw a compliment...but anyway: I think the process of analyzing video's and media 4:30 is apart of the fun. Its like when you analyze a games mechanics to find exploits, its satisfying to see it in action and working. The important part is making sure that you still stick to what you enjoy, you **should** understand what makes the best video's then incorporate aspects of it into what you enjoy, that way you can have fun and be rewarded for it. Also one major reason why most don't profit from learning new information is cause they never apply it. If you spend all your time analyzing how to make a good video, then you wont have enough time to actually put the knowledge to use, often time making you forget it or doing it poorly. You have to apply as you learn to get the most out of it. Good vid, I hope this helps people, but for some reason I doubt it will. Not because its a bad video, but because I don't think this experience of rejecting social conformity is something that you can understand from a video. As you said "Once you finally stop playing that game, you realize how stupid it all is", it falls on deaf ears for anyone who doesn't already understand. At least...I currently don't know how someone goes about realizing stuff like this without it occurring naturally over years, and even then some end up going the wrong route becoming worse off than they started. (don't take this comment too seriously, it's just my random opinion 😄)

thank you for the comment! i love hearing honest insights like this. you’re very right about the idea that most information pretty much goes out the window unless you do something with it. aristotle has a simple quote about that idea that i always remind myself of: “the purpose of knowledge is action, not knowledge.” in a weird way, these videos are a great way for me to act on the new insights i get, whether they’re my own or from others. reading & replying to comments like yours is also a huge part of my learning process, so thank you again :)

Best piece of self improvement media. Just be yourself! Being authentic is always #1, and that means to stop worrying about what people want from you, or want you to say.

I like to think that I mainly live my life in intrinsic motivation, but the things that frustrate me most are when I’m forced into extrinsic motivation. This video was really helpful for helping put all this kind of stuff into words.

ik what you mean. honestly journalling & making these videos helps me put it into words for myself as well haha. thanks for the comment :)

thank you bro! i still have so much to learn but this is my favourite vid i’ve made so far. glad you liked it too :)

[@henswolo]

thanks, it made me feel good about myself, i did actually get called an outcast by my classmates, dont like em, but if thats what they consider normal, im glad to be an outcast

[@liamzgb]

i’m glad you could relate, well said too. if it helps, school is probably the last time in your life that your social circle is gonna be limited to like the 20-30 people you’re stuck being around each day. the more people you get to know, the more likely you are to find others like you :)

[@henswolo]

​​@@liamzgbi dont think my social circle is that large, besides they dont like me, nor do i want to be near them, i dont think any of them are like me

[@liamzgb]

i meant it more as the 20-30 people in your class/grade who are the only real options you have to choose friends from. either way, i think the important thing is that you know yourself and live your life for *you*. the right people will follow.

'There are no rules. We just impose these guidelines upon ourselves because its how we all convince eachother that we should stay in the rat race with everybody else.' Thats a very original thing to say. Very inspiring

[@liminalandrei]

So many motivational quotes in this video lol. Everything you said is true though, and I can especially relate to "the person who enjoys walking will walk further than the person who enjoys the destination" you couldn´t have said it much better.

[@liamzgb]

i think those quotes are just how i hype myself up in every journal entry haha. i’m glad you liked it though - thanks for the kind words :)

Thank you for putting in time for the little things, like the billards table clip and even naming the folder next to the trash can to make the clip even more interesting.

[@liamzgb]

i’m so glad you noticed! little things like that feel so extra when i’m working on them, but i think making a good video is kinda like making a good painting - takes a ton of little tiny brushstrokes to bring it to life. (that’s some bs i just thought of but it sounds artistic so we’ll run with it lol)

ah yeah, life as an outcast. constantly being made fun of, never making any real friends, never being able to let my guard down, adults not doing their jobs to care for me, growing up to be incapable of taking care of myself because of my crippling self worth issues and depression. so easy

[@liamzgb]

i can hear the pain in your words man. it sucks & you don’t deserve to feel that way - especially with adults contributing to it. we can debate the words i used but honestly i have no interest in trying to prove you wrong, & i couldn’t do it anyways because your experience is real. all i can say is that if there’s one thing you’ve got going for you rn, it’s that things can only get better from here. all the best man :)

[@Vite_Roy]

I have been watching this video nearly everyday since I first saw it, that was 2 weeks ago. I really like how motivate people to be different but mainly, “redefined” potential. I was seen as an high potential athlete from of a very young aged and was trained as one. “Reach my potential” was all I knew after a while and I tried to live up to those expectations, which inevitably caught up with me. I had to stop for mental reasons and sulked for a very long time about not reaching my “potential”. This video truly changed my perspective and helps me a lot to get over it all and reminds me that this life is our own, not others. It should be lived the way we want to. It’s your process and your choices to make, do not let others take it away from you.

[@liamzgb]

well said bro. i’m sorry you had to deal with that bs. i feel like with sports it’s way too common & all it does is give young athletes that fucked up complex of guilt & not feeling like ‘enough,’ whatever that means. i’m glad it seems like you’re getting past it bro. i think a good life is one that’s lived on your own terms. rooting for you to keep doing it :)

[@nzeu725]

I've never been able to fit in the norm but instead of idealizing those who do it just seems like such a pain. Just do what you feel like.

[@leomajdak1788]

These quotes sounds like things that would a kid do because kid will always chase nothing but adults will always chase something and teach their children to chase something for success

[@liamzgb]

lol we both got different messages out of this but honestly that’s not a bad thing. the idea i was getting at is more along the lines of ‘don’t chase things just because everybody else says you should.’ as someone who lives their life trying to be ‘better,’ i’ve had to learn the hard way that the most important part of that equation is being able to define what ‘better’ is for you. i appreciate you calling that out though man, thanks for the comment

[@cuteandamazingpikachu4431]

This is genuinely an amazing video, something I’ve needed to hear recently. You sound so authentic and your filmmaking skills are amazing. I can most certainly relate to what you’ve said in this video. There are no rules, it all bs, but it’s hard to break free and be who you are today, but this video gives me hope.

[@liamzgb]

i’m really glad you enjoyed it! idk if everyone is reading eachother’s comments or what but the fact that ‘authentic’ is the word you $ a few others chose means so much to me. i respect authenticity in a person more than almost anything, so i try to make everything i do and say as real/honest as i can. keep pushing forward! thanks for the comment :)

[@esteerutten1727]

what I would add to this (beautiful message btw!), is stop looking at other people so much, stop being so concerned with how other people are living their lives, and focus on what's right in front of you, the things that make up your own day and be present, you will feel like time goes slower when you are actually paying attention to the things that you are doing. I have found that brings me so much more fulfillment and joy!

I clicked this video thinking it would be like every other inspirational KZbinr, but in a way it wasn’t , in a weird way there was a twist this video made me realize things I would’ve never before, I am a once in a lifetime person but I’ve spent my whole life trying to be everyone else, not trying to be that 1 in a million but rather the other 999 thousand and I can stop before it’s to late, this video makes me want to pursue my dreams.

thanks bro! authenticity is the goal of everything i do, so i’m glad it showed in this video. funny you mention the shitty video quality, i just record in 1080p because it’s the only footage my 2015 macbook pro can handle haha. i figured it would create a cool vibe regardless, & this comment was nice confirmation of that :)

When I was in primary school I was a smart as little kid so I was English enrichment class. Now on the wall of that classroom we had a quote “why fit in when you where born to stand out” now being a young impressionable little kid and reading that everyday (mainly the reading it everyday bit) it caused me to believe it yeah? That’s why you all should make it routine to do something excess, make it routine to break the routine

hey bro i really loved the video and the message it delivered....i FELT it it. sometimes its just hard being an outcast but once you get the perspective you just start realizing you are in such a better place. also you just start getting real friends, partner overall real true genuine ppl when you dont fit in uk . but just in my opinion can you slow down the pace a little bit it was a lil hard to keep up....keep up the work bro

The last part really spoke to me, its hard to enjoy life when you are always being told you are enjoying it the "wrong" way, so the last quote "in order to be exceptional, you must be the exception" to me just means to do things your own way even when it comes to the littlest of things if it truly brings you joy, its nice to know that the idea of "not fitting in" is finally getting normalize especially with teenagers who are told that not fitting in is not normal. Great work, i am sure this video helped someone out there more then you can think.
