You must transmutation. save the seed make her orgasm but keep yours!!!! Peniel gland 33 segments up your spine towards your connection with God. Above u get your crown. Your purpose. Gods purpose for you. I tell u friends swinging at me for the last three days cause I got a gift. I never punch first.
Perfect video for me. A Khoi San South African bushman born 1990 into South Africa’s fake freedom because Madela died in prison1985. I’m playing guitar 🎸 here in Addis Ababa Ethiopia the new Jerusalem. No friends right now. Just me, my bible, my ganja and my guitar 🎸.
How come few are famous? Because there's only so much time we can spend, and no reasonable human can spend that on every single one of all the billions of humans inhabiting this planet, much less the billions yet to come. Though that's a much more concrete, tangible, and Mathematical answer to the direction of this video.
Ironically, isolation is my comfort zone. Also I don't fear greatness; I fear the constant pestering and decrying that'll come as a direct result of greatness.
Partially disagree on the part about why people settle. Could be, lack of opportunity, lack of interest from particularly empowered parties…maybe "The End of All Jobs" is coming. Could be from striving repeatedly for greatness, and only finding nothing but disappointment for a lifetime.
But what I DO agree on, is being in between humility and arrogance. I call it "being grounded", sometimes worded as "pragmatic" or even (gasp) "realistic".
Thank you very much for these words you've spoken my friend, I really needed to hear this. I honestly felt my soul spark a light, telling me to become great!
It comes down to testosterone
The message of this video is build on the premise that everyone wants or should want to be rich, successful, influential or famous. If you try to strive to reach those goals (driven very much on outside stimuli and essentially turning you into an unfulfilled addict), you will never find true, generic happiness. Look inside for happiness, not outside.
You're telling my self confidence obstruct people of disliking my vids?
Cool, but I don't get it. Never thought of myself as confident, rather as careless.
After school = Marjiuana time!!!
I hope Fiona Witaba gets to watch this some day in her life!
Our Deepest Fear
By Marianne Williamson
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
Ive never understood fear of greatness. Mine jumps between fear of conformity and fear of failure and the massive amount of courage itd take to withstand it WHEN it happens rather than the greatness itself
I disagree. First time I have ever unliked a video on YouTube. Crazy.
Wow, Just go ahead and explain the last 6 years of my life….. Thinking, Thinking, Thinking, but never doing.
Being great requires WORK. Most people don’t want to work that hard. They make excuses so that they won’t have to work hard. I think the only fear is fear of failure so why try? It always goes back to “ too much work.”
Define 'Greatness'.

Sounds impossible.
What a beautiful video!
Why are richness, influence and fame the only things that define greatness? Very questionable… There is so much more to life. Mo money mo problems.
40 years later I need to watch after school specials again. ☹️🤔🤗
I very much appreciate and find this information truly interesting and enlightening. Keep it coming.! 😊👂👍🇨🇦
But how u can feel alone when u r celebrity or respectful person?
What if you are trying to be more than you’re capable of?
This is by far one of the best videos I've ever seen, thank you!!!;)
I love this channel! Do you recommend showing this to my 1st grader?
Humans fear fundemental change, change is only embraced on small levels a new button on a phone, or new colour on products, new car, new.job, etc. But fundamental change freaks people out and anybody whos ideas suggests this will be ostricized
Also never fuck with anything that is not afraid to be alone.
I fear the ladder of success because the higher I climb, the more the fall will hurt if I fail and let myself go. Struggling with depression and anxiety as well, I get worried that these diseases in my life will only contribute to my fall in the future if I do manage to summon the courage to do more than I thought I could, only for my demons to bring me back down, so why bother trying?
I fell 7 stories, was in a coma for 3 weeks, and lived. I walk now and I am completely grateful. After my fall, I was in a band and we played many shows and almost got signed. I had such a fear of making it big, that it bothered me to the core. I ended up quitting the band only to move back with my girlfriend and closer to my family. I felt it was the safer route, so that's why I chose it. I'm married now with kids and have a house, but I think alot sometimes if I wouldve stayed in the band. I think of how I'm 39 now unemployed, and where I'm going to go from here, what job will I have? I took the conformity route and am still pestered about my profession. Should it even be a big deal, when i lived through falling 7 stories, got to live out my dream of being a rock star, and having a wife and kids?
Balancing life here. For you.
Absolutely true Awesome
But, isn’t the joy of life exploration? Isn’t the best part of life exploring the different places of the world and finding treasure only to give it away?
I get this
People are afraid to live and afraid to die, socially and otherwise.
Very good video, very thankful for your content man
yeah, I call bullshit. In the case of Maslow talking to his students, they didn't fear greatness, they feared being socially criticized for being arrogant when they hadn't proved themselves to be great. We're fighting against the uncomfortable process of self actualization not a "fear of being great".
Now more than ever, it's dangerous to stick out. Everyone is just waiting for your one slip up or sifting through your past to find something to destroy you with.
Most people..? but not all..
Just be confident bro
I must be great as I am a non-conformist and I stand alone.

I'm asking this question probably far to late but I would love to read some responses 🙂
Have you guys been taught to be humble and "not to brag" etc? Because I feel like standing out could be seen as some form of bragging in a way. Like showing of etc…Probably depends on your attitude, but I'm not sure if a lot of people would care to take a closer look at your attitude while you are standing out or performing well at a task etc.
Thoughts 🙂 ?
I think the fear of failure prevents most from even trying. We fear we may never live up to our greatness and be rejected therefore alone. I think it's important to put this video in that context as well. I would love to be Hollywood actress but the likelihood that I'll fail is much stronger than my desire to conform.
Achieving greatness is another task entirely.
so ur telling me Chester Bennington(Singer and the legend of Linkin Park) felt lonely at the top. thats just sad cuz he helped millions but millions couldnt
People want to reach “success” to prove their self-worth.
Subscribed! I actually wrote this comment then subscribed…lol!
Unfortunately, many others do strive for greatness and end up becoming overachievers, refusing to believe anything they do can ever be enough. We may idolize success but we're 10 times more likely to become depressed or suicidal when we fail. Individualism is a sickness, especially because it doesn't stress the importance of family and community, so that not standing out from the crowd makes you mediocre and unworthy of existence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvgfucVF5cU
Distractions are the comforts of the conformist.
I just want to be a part of my community, and I don't hate their HOA, it's not mine. However my community is stronger because we work together. This is America, We coined the concept of HollyWoood, We Knocked down the wall, We exposed the Tienanmen Massacre, We are the watchers, we are everybody and you can't stop us
