    Brilliant video! I am 69 and in better shape than I was in my 50's. I know you are focussed on 25-30 year olds but your truth works for old guys like me too. While I have my own personal style, I enjoy watching you take care of yourself. You are an inspiration! Thank you!
  • @stevengo7576
    It's really comforting and inspiring to hear these lessons from someone you look up to. I was a subscriber ever since you published those videos on white shirts, and I'm glad to see the success you have now. Thanks for the video Tim!
  • @renpengxing5614
    This has to be one of the most important videos I’ve ever watched. It deserves to be watched over and over when I am feeling demotivated and lost. Thank you so much!
  • Hey Tim, thank you so much for this video! I am in a transforming stage of my life right now. I luckily crossed the line from doing what others want to doing what I want. Your honesty and openess are cheering me up that it was okay to have been going some detours. I wish everyone to find themself, their purpose and the courage to live their truth. Sending a lot of love from Germany ♥
  • @thedude4491
    Thanks you so much man for these advices, i can tell it was a genuine and from then heart talk. Im a 24yo guy who has suffered a lot from depression, ocd, anxiety and other stuff, and right now im at the point where im taking my life into my own hands so your vid couldnt be any more helpful. Stay healthy, happy and strong.
  • Just recently finished my finals this semester and now heading towards summer break. Will do my best to stick and follow the advices you've provided. I'm 20 years old now and this video is excellent for guiding me in life as I kind of have a hard time surviving college especially when I don't have a clear focused goal on my mind.
  • @nickd6451
    I was always really bad with #7, I always hated how I looked, my mindset etc and I realized that I was the only person who got me to that spot. Freeing myself from that mentality made me so much better and brought my life to a positive, outward focus instead of a narrow inward view. It was really tough, for me it was totally the hardest for me on this list but it has done wonders. I love these videos!
  • @metanoia6033
    man, Tim! Thank you for sharing these! Totally agree on all points! Took me 30 years and a great loss before I started changing my life and became more aware, intentional, and accountable. I guess what I need to work on right now is point number 3, Massive action taking. I feel that I'm still in the safe zone and not pushing myself to failure because of fear of burnout, but there will always be a way. I just need to figure it out
  • @CookiezSama
    Holy shit, never thought this channel would drop a self-improvement bomb as hard as this! Awesome video, I have been implementing some of these myself in the past year, and my self esteem, living standards and general happiness with my life has shot through the roof.
  • @caltelevision
    I'm 21 right now and I feel like I consistently do most of what you talked about in this video. I'm still kind of in an in between stage in my life right now as I'm going to school and working towards finding a career to have after I graduate, but for the most part, I feel successful. Thank you Tim, for giving me reassurance that doing the right thing for myself does in fact pay off. I know that my hard work won't go to nothing
  • @timondaffarn
    You are the most real, down to earth, realistic YouTuber I have watched who actually gives relatable personal scenarios and does not act like they just above everyone else but you actually share how you improved personally and then simply share that with viewers. 90% of all these self help gurus on YouTube portray themselves to be the exception, like their lives are now perfect yet that isn’t the case for sure
  • @Drawsler
    Super interesting video. I'm 26 and have been working full time for almost two years after finishing university. All those thoughts and topics in this video are what I am currently seeing as they are drastically changing in my life. Love that you shared your experience.
  • @willhayes9789
    Thank you for being so genuine. Love the extreme accountability mindset 💪🏼
  • @Oliwolf78
    This is a fantastic video. I am 21, and have already noticed myself slowly learning a few of these tips and applying my experience to them. But there are definitely some on here that I have not been acting on yet, and need to improve on, especially delaying gratification and massive action taking. Thanks Tim.
  • I love this video. He speaks about things that most of us can relate to or are sttruglling with. He's real and not fake about the subjects he talks about. I'm 22 and I've had my ups and downs since turning 18. I was doing engineering at 18 and a paralegal program, but I kept having so many issues with my PC and money. I didn't get a job until I was 20 and I couldn't drive until I was 20. I come from a poor famliy and it's been hard these past years. I'm currently working on my paralegal degree and then going back to engineering, finally. When I was a teen got trapped in some of these things that he has talked about and I'm still working on some of them, but I've learned a lot and have grown up. I think most of us who watched this video can relate to it and I hope that everyone has grown or is growing to become a better version of themselves. From what I've learned so far is that you need goals and you need to be commited to them. Porn is nothing but a bottomless pit that will steal your life and happiness away if you don't get some help. Honestly, it's very hard to get away from it but I think that one of the main reasons a lot of people get trapped in it is beacuse it they're bored or thye're not doing anyting. Get out and excersise and learn something new, even if you have a degree already. Also, don't waste your time and energy on fake people and people who just want to use you. Also, stay away from social media as that is another trap and is just a waste of your time. In the end, set goals, keep 1 or 2 close friends (real friends), stay away from social media, and if you're addiceted to porn, get some help. I know it's embarrasing to talk about but it will feel amazing once you get away from it and see how much time you have and energy.
  • @bubblellama7238
    This was a fantastic video, well thought out and planned, good focus and flow between habits. Honestly it was also very relatable, and i was proud that i already follow some of these habits
  • @HendrikSince1908
    I never commented on your videos before, but point number 7 with the extreme accountability is one of my main tricks to get my focus back. Nobody ever said the same or agreed with me on that, so glad somebody thinks the same. Maybe great minds think alike. It got me from getting rejected from my dream company with 19 to getting an internship there that's beyond everything I could imagine there 4 years later, absolut murderous trick. Keep up the good work.
  • @francisgabriel15
    I know tim won't see this, but I just wanted to say this video is just amazing. I am literally in a period of my life where sometimes I feel like i'm where i'm supposed to be then suddenly I fall into a pit. People like Tim are those deserving of being called an "influencer". Thank you for motivating me Tim. All the best for you.
