Hey guys, in this vlog, I share a thought I've had recently, which is to enjoy every moment and not take people and moments for granted. This comes in the wake of hearing someone I knew from college died in a hiking accident and a friend of mine calling and saying one of their family members had been diagnosed with a stage 4 cancer.

A lot of us go through breakups that can be messy. In this vlog, I talk about my opinions on how to cordially breakup with someone. __ For more context, this was the message I received: "I’ve been through a couple of breakups and neither ended well. In many ways, when I look back, it took me some time to get over those relationships not because of the person I was dating and it was taking a long time to get over the person but more because of the way the breakups went down. Ending a relationship with someone you had good times and shared love in such negative manners made me be a lot more careful to letting someone in, more guarded and hesitant to opening up to people, and overall left a negative taste about relationships. I am planning to end my current relationship, she’s a great person and I don’t want to end in a toxic manner or angry manner like my last breakups so I was wondering if there is a good way to handle the breakup?__ Grateful Living Info: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Bo0LHtRJJNJBUYIceg27w Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Hn4ttttmbWfVqAhWh4Jhi Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1503185956 My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aroy81547/?hl=en Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/gratefulliving4 Medium: https://gratefulliving4.medium.com/

A lot of people can seemingly accelerate their relationship quickly and get married quicker than most people find appropriate. In this vlog, I answer the question, is it too fast to get married to someone within a year of knowing them? -- For more context, this was the situation a friend recently messaged me about: A friend of mine has been dating this person for 4 months. They’ve decided to move in together and he’s talking about getting engaged within the next 6 months to this person and possibly getting married 6 months later. Theoretically, that means he would get engaged 10 months into knowing the person and married 1 year and 4 months. To me, as a friend, I think that they have accelerated very fast and I want to have a conversation with him about the situation. Do you have any thoughts on this and how to handle a conversation like this? -- Grateful Living Info: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Bo0LHtRJJNJBUYIceg27w Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Hn4ttttmbWfVqAhWh4Jhi Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1503185956 My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aroy81547/?hl=en Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/gratefulliving4 Medium: https://gratefulliving4.medium.com/

A friend recently sent me this message: "I've been out of school and a working professional for several years now. Recently, life has been feeling like a hamster wheel.

Hey guys, hope everyone’s been well. I have something somewhat exciting to announce - I’m open to interviewing people again! 

Last year, a couple times, people reached out to me and said they had someone that they thought would be great on the podcast. At that time, I just didn’t feel right interviewing anyone knowing I wasn’t consistently putting out content and declined those. 

In reflection, I realize - I think that came from this culture we have internally of either being all in or all out when in reality any positive act in the world is a positive act and is good. 

I share my thoughts on the all in/all out culture and my belief that we need to create healthier relationships with being in the middle. 

Again, to be clear, I don’t have the bandwidth to reach out like I used and schedule 52 guests a year, but if anyone out there is watching and knows somebody that would be a great fit (have a unique life story, especially related to mental health, and/or is someone who has found success in their career and can share life lessons/wisdoms from their journey), please feel free to message me, I’m happy to have them on.

Last week, I talked about why I've been posting less on social media, especially in regards to my personal life because in reflection, I often felt the personal posts had selfish intent and less value add (i.e. there were certain years I posted on my birthday to show a good picture of me and see how many max likes I could get). And overall, lately I've been feeling I want to go more towards posting things of value add. Someone followed up with me on the video and asked me the following: "I really appreciated you sharing why you’ve been posting less overall on social media, especially with regards to your personal life. I have a question though - you talk about only wanting to post stuff that comes out of pure intent and joy. That’s quite a high bar to set for your relationship with posting on social media. I’m curious, do you think we should all be holding ourselves to that standard? And how do we define what is deemed pure positive intent and unselfish? Aren’t those terms individually defined?" In this vlog, I answer these questions and I also talk more about selfish vs. selfless action.

The specific message and question I received was:
