  • i guess God created us to create and this world tells you to be depressed

  • wow!!! my boyfriend just posted this on my page and i am so inspired right now!!! everything you said made total sense, and resonated with me!!! i am off to watch your other videos and have subscribed to your page!!!! :)

  • Man I think you know me better then I knew my self ... Real eye opener man cheers, keep making these vids !

  • 5 minutes in and already I feel ready to take on the fucking world.  Thanks for linking me to this, /r9k/, and thank you kylecease.

  • I have now watched a few of your videos. I have to thank you for articulating what I think we all have been starting to feel.... It's just below the surface. You are the face of and a great example of the crowd-sourced media structure which is forming.

    Decentralized, it can't be bought, bullied or negotiated with. We will see the establishment burn. Figuratively of course.

  • Wake Up: the short version

    ^here: myquestforgrowth.blogspot.com/­2012/01/wake-up.html

  • guys remember Ted Gunderson? youtube: /watch?v=b_Fl4v1GhwU&feature=r­elated

  • You reasonate with me so much! Thank you fo rmaking this video! When I 'woke up', I started reading about personal development, and eventually created my own personal development blog. Please everyone share this and help me deliver value to everyone!

    Its myquestforgrowth.blogspot (dot) com

  • All I can say - Thank u!!!

  • omg i just found you! LOVE this video!! and your a comedian :D wooohooo!

  • Complete yourself first, then find that other person. Golden words.

  • thank you.

  • Thank you so much for taking your time to post this for people to hear. You pretty much said everything that I have been thinking for going on a year now. As things get harder, people are starting to realize and wake up, they just need people like you to help push them in the right direction. Some people only need that little push, others might need you to hold their hand as you show them what you mean...but at least that person is will to have their hand held, compassion shown, and helped.

  • AMAZING!!! Just that!

  • true

  • I needed this so bad - today I was completely in a low, and I knew I could get out of it if I wanted to, but I was just wallowing in my own self pity... but now you've inspired me to do things! Thank you so much.

  • Wow... Thank you. This was really inspiering. Im having a very rough time right now and it's really hard to be positive, but I'll try! But I'm not going to "wake the fuck up". It's pretty late here in sweden so im going to fucking sleep! ;)

  • 'like' if cory (smpfilms) sent you here and you actually inspired!

  • Thankyou Kyle, i've been saying this to people for the past year. we've been having a bad year and i've been keeping positive and saying this. This year we've started our own design business .. yes we haven't gotten much yet.. but the fact is that we're doing it.. and we're having fun doing it.. and we don't care what other people think. so thankyou for making me feel good about this feeling and knowing i'm not the only one!

  • That was great, thanks for the inspiration :)

  • I wish I could put thoughts together like that. This is fantastic. And how about we just post this little video to facebook, shall we?

  • Comment removed

  • IF I still had my Adsense and YouTube Partnership, I would be more positive.

  • Thank you :)

  • seize the day!

  • Deviantart is a website that I'm addicted to. It was a fast addiction. :) Although, it makes me want to create! I WILL become a good artist! I WILL learn the piano! I WILL go to Japan!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This video made me smile! :)

  • To be afraid to be creative ... you have spoken out of my soul and showed my fear again. Thank you very mutch for this. Its hard to fight against this fear but I hope i can win.

  • How much time a day I spend on facebook: Probably like an hour a day, not consecutive :P

    I totally get what you're saying, to people who don't check out this video I found months ago, its beautiful! watch?v=Rk6_hdRtJOE

  • Cooooooooool!

    

  • I needed to hear this, I really wish more people could hear this.

  • @kylecease However, I'm a banana.

  • Excellent points Mr Cease:)

  • Why in the HELL would someone dislike this? They must be afraid of branching out and facing pure, raw reality...

  • I'm surprised that the haters haven't got to this videos yet. But more than being surprised, I am glad :)

  • 14 people didn't wake up

  • Kyle for president!!!!!

  • dude :) your too right ! i posted this on facebook just for the irony .. not just for that but i want pepole to see this thank you :)

  • I dont think that way maybe your getting old.

  • Whats yur facebook lol

  • So, how do you wake up, when you're one of those that is dead inside?

  • 14 people hit the snooze button.

  • You are a prophet.

  • This is amazing thank you so much

  • I'm affected. I noticed this about a year ago. I'm only 13. I know i'm young,but i want to do something about it. I've started not caring about othe people's opinions. I really dont care about normal teen worries.I know about all the conspiracies and i believe some of them.When i was small i looked up to MLK and loved MLK day in school.

    I want to make a change,seriously. I seriously think we can do something. Thanks,man. I thought i was the only "crazy nut" on this Earth. :)

  • You are so right Kyle!! We are plan A there is NO PLAN B!! IT'S TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE. A RADICAL CHANGE. As in now!!! Together we CAN!

  • It is true that most people are capable of much more than they realise, and that lack of confidence is a huge obstacle. But it is important to have the right goals, not just any goals, and to realise that to make our individual lives better we need a better society. We can change society, but we have to do it together.

  • Also he is very individualistic – you can achieve this, you can achieve that – but most real achievements are a collective effort.

    His whole speech sounds like the Nike advert – Just Do It – fine, unless you are one of the people who earn a living by actually making Nike trainers, who cannot “just do it” on their own. Some people have aspirations, but they fail. They fail not because they have the wrong attitude, but because things are loaded against them, because things are tough.

  • On one level I agree with him - a positive attitude is better than a negative one. But I have some disagreements. It is not true that by really believing you can do something you will be able to do it. Some people face real material barriers that cannot be jumped over simply by having the right frame of mind, and I find it irritating that he shows no awareness of this.

  • Fuck, that was great.

  • I drew a caricature of you while I watched and listened because I wanted to. Thank you for this video, Kyle :)

  • 13 people work for the news.

    The best video ever made by the best cemedian ever and the best messag ever. PERFECTION

  • thank you man i really appreciate the time u took to make this vid an ill be honest b4 i clicked on it i was like "oh man another lecture about how were horrible people in the world" but it only took 1 minute in 4 my eyes to open wide an go oh dam thats so true!!! the biggest thing i got from it 2 was 2 stop living your life in a box and think an live outside of it. your quote "if go after something your no worse off then you would be if you hadnt gone after it" my new favorite quote thx!

  • As usual.... RIGHT ON! <3

  • I went and actually created an account to thank you for your advice kyle.....Thanks I needed this, and I'm not the only one.

  • There's always a voice in your head telling you to doubt yourself. That's a lie. 'Who you are' is what you feel deep down inside, and it's changing and emerging afresh all the time. You can't define yourself based on the collective opinions of people you know -- that's self-defeating. Life is a journey of self-discovery. Test yourself. Do things that scare you. Relax. Love. Laugh. And try the things that you've always loved to do. It's always better to take a chance and fail than to do nothing.

  • the part at the beginning was so true about facebook stuff. a month ago a friend of mine died in a car accident and some girl put something rude about it on facebook. everyone completely lost focus of him and started all this drama about the girl and it made a few of the papers. other than the story of the accident and the obituary, there were no stories in the papers of my friend. the media definately needs to make a change and i think we should all start.

  • Thank you, you having completely changed my perspective on everything I do.

  • I fucking love you man.

  • This honestly does wake you up. I feel like I've just been smacked in the face, and for once, i wont go into defense. thank you.

  • Wow, this is amazing. Thanks a lot and I will wake up.

  • I just want to say that Facebook IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT. It doesn't have to be all about wasting time. It can be a great communication tool...just like this video!

  • AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET US FREE

  • 12 people are asleep. 

  • thank you for saying this sir, everywhere I go I speak to people and try to change any injustices in the world, not until recently did I fully believe in myself and thats when I really felt I was making a difference, I have chosen the path of cooking, music, humor, and acting to show the world what everyone is capable of, and I know that if you go through life without helping people and trying to make a positive change you will only help to tear down the world. lets make this happen sir.

  • I had this thought a while back, but i slowly came to the realization that fear and ego rules all. You can't beat it, only embrace it.

  • Dude, you totally just affected 9,000 people already - this is great!

  • thanks for posting this

  • everytime I watch this I pick up something new.

  • The problem is ego. Let go of it and you have no problems

  • P.S I did favorite is video thand post it to my facebook wall. I'll listen to it every day even when I feel too scared to. Thanks again.

  • You are SO right. So many great things happen in world but the news doesn't cover that. Sex, scandal and war make the news. Positivity doesn't. The news does scare me..so much that I stopped watching it years ago and retreated into defense. I haven't been caring or creating. Lately I've been seeing signs everywhere that I need to come out of my fear and start caring again. Start writing and singing and dancing again. Your video has been another sign. I will stop being afraid. Thanks so much.

  • @Akosuaification thats awesome! what kind of dance do you like to do?

  • @thecomedyproject1 Thanks. :) I love Latin dance, African dance and bellydancing....I use to go out dancing a lot and I told myself that I would take classes one day, but it never happened. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship for years and I lost a lot of myself during that time. Basically I cut myself off from the outside world. I'm in the process of finding myself again and my place in the world. I love music, dancing, reading, art., helping people...I want my thirst for life back.

  • @Akosuaification Sounds like you got some thirst back already =) Have you tried the Parks and Recreation in your area? The teachers are usually pretty good. Meetup.com is great too ;-) Bellydance is amazing! Check out Raqia Hassan...one of my favorites. I have been Bellydancing for six years...great for healing, esp the Root Chakra. Message me anytime I sweets!

  • My friend made a Hip Hop poetry video about media brainwashing. Apollo Poetry. here is the link, pretty cool stuff...Deep =) his other poems are quite amazing also.

  • Holy cow, he talks with his hands a lot!

    Good stuff though.

  • You're my idol. Couldn't agree more with everything you said.

  • Please please take a second a re-post this. Or create a similar message if you understand this. Or both! I know its scary to say that, but if you feel this, a simple repost will keep this shifting and create a tipping point. This is a big deal and the one second decision of "Should I repost this?" Will add up dramatically. It will also add confidence to you, because your heart will beat your ego. Could you imagine if the doubters became the minority? It's possible. Thank you! Kyle

  • @kylecease I made a video response, but the sound did not come through, so here is my message: "Find the Blessing". In any negative there is a hidden positive: find it or create it. We have the power to transform negativity into positive blessings, simply by taking the experience to Love. I know a couple who lost their only son in a car accident; he was texting & driving. Although they were completely devastated by the loss, they took the situation to Love & transformed the tragedy into...(cont)

  • @kylecease something with purpose. They started an organization encouraging youth to keep phone out of sight &focus on the road while driving. They transformed the energy& Love took them there. Love & Intention. They are a perfect example how to transform Negative Experience. We can do the same, simply by finding the blessing, especially in the current world situation. (personal situations2) the Earth is cleansing herself using every Element because she is healing. we can assist her...(cont)

  • @kylecease healing by supportive to her during the process; spend time outside, say "i love you" to Earth, love yourself (become your BFF)& eachother. There is much shifting. healing, &cleansing of current systems(which no longer serve) if throughout that process our Relationships w: eachother, ourselves& Earth are strengthened, then, that is beautiful thing. Is it not? Behind the illusion of chaos is the most amazing blessing, We simply need to "find it". Create it. take it to Love &Gratitude

  • I am going to somehow set this as my alarm clock and listen to it every morning.

  • like a vagina?

  • I've decided that i want to create something. :D

  • All I can say is. . Thanks.

    This was amazingly true.

  • Kyle, are you an Empath?

  • THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER THANKS KYLE !!!!!

  • :)

  • I could listen to Kyle all day!

  • /watch?v=IFq9cjtrWlQ

  • /watch?v=wQzw-5noKio

  • You know your voice is nice:)

  • You are really interesting to listen to!! :)

  • Why did someone remove my comment??

  • Every Single day Kyle..Life's getting better..More Positivity production and creating

  • The negative impact of the news may not be limited to television. A Yahoo! article about eating disorders said that there are those out there that consider Orthorexia a disorder which may consist only of 'limiting oneself to raw foods.' I happened to think that your promotion of raw foods was among the most significant messages you've made and its perception as a 'disorder' by something as big as Yahoo! seems to be a concern. I did it for 2 days and felt great, and others should try it.

  • thank you

  • Hey Kyle! I left this comment on your contest page but I figure I'll post it again here as these people are also probably interested:

    Last year you posted a blog that affected me even more than this video. It was what I REALLY needed to hear at the time and it was a huge part of how I’ve made so much progress towards my goals today. I wanted to share it with someone but I couldn’t find it on your site. Is there an archive somewhere?

    Thanks

  • :)

  • wow...never really thought about that before...

  • Ironic that I was led to this video by facebook?

    Ironic that I'm now going to watch Kyle Ceases other videos because this video recommended them?

    Love me some Kyle Cease! Very wise man.

  • Passing this on as much as possible!

  • i like it-

  • <3

  • Waking up!

  • ahh i love this. i already commented but i really hope this vid gets like 1 million views

  • He was about to have an epiphany.

  • i swear to god that you're a motivational speaker. if only i could bring you to my school ..

    okay, i know what you said when you can really start NOW. but .. what happens if you're still as young as me? i know i can still do something & start, but there's parents & teachers to approve. who is it out there that i could do to start?

    & oh yes, while i was watching this video, i had only one question: what is IT that you are talking about? is it specifically something? does it have to be specific

  • keep on rocking man!!

  • real true facts!

  • I love how connected you are with your fans!

  • fucking. marry. me.

    this was absolutely brilliant.

  • Well I say Kyle...what a tremendous revelation you have chosen to impart to us! Seriously though I love that you're not a corny piece of work! You just let what you think and what you feel speak to us. Keep doin you man because you're changing peoples' lives! Thank you!

  • In our existence as a human species we have given constant focus to that which we dont like in the world, and what we are against. Now it is time to change the way we see EVERYTHING! Including Drama, Obstacles& negative situations. Focus on the positive blessings within everything. The shift happens when you shift your perspective. Shift to What you Are For. What do you support? The words Ani-anything(war, drugs) are pointless. Be a Supporter of Peace. Support Love. Support Life and Eachother.

  • Dr. Wayne Dyer gives the best advice when he says to, make a list of everything in your life that you do not like, such as crime, hate, hunger, negative media, drama, and then go back and create an opposite list of the things that you support: peace, love, abundance, positivity, healthy relationships, good communication so forth. Because what we focus on is what we will attract into our lives by the Law of Attaction, &what we give our energy to. Give ALL of your energy to that which you support!

  • I must think about this stuff everyday, but felt like I was the only. There was so much truth in what you said in this video, I'm now going to try and change. Thanks for letting me know that I wasn't the only person thinking like this.

  • PS wasn't this guy a comedian or something once?

  • KYLE! YOU DID ALL THE COKE? DAMN YOU, KYLE!

  • I dont want to sound stupid but this made me feel so different.In a good way

  • SWEET

  • Love what you have to say here - shared it on FB before the contest... hope the message spreads!!

  • Thanks bro. Got stuff to think about now!

  • well put!

  • Thank you so much for this:)

  • Wow, this video is legit, I was thinking so vivid after listening to this I started brainstorming what was going on with the world and everything, I don't know, it was great, I think I will start talking when I wake up see what type of subjects with come to me. Thank You!

  • Thanks for this :)

  • god i have such a short attention span

  • wow. I agree with this 100 %. Thanks so much for sharing.

    I will change.

  • SERIOUSLY! This is the most motivating video on youtube !!!

    and how on earth can you dislike this ?! I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT!

  • This is crazy true. I am amazed...

  • your an angel sent from above, this opened my eyes

  • Hey Kyle, I just wanted to let you know how much this video has affected me. I know you have probably gotten tons of comments like this. But it's especially affected me because I'm going through a sort of spiritual awakening right now. I've just "converted" to Buddhism and a lot of what you said here is fitting into my new life perspective so perfectly. Being still in high school, my life is easily shaped by what I hear and see on the Internet, TV, in movies, etc. Cont'd.

  • @paulmccartneyrocks I'm so glad that I was able to be influenced by you before I was able to influenced by the negative news and media. I used to want to be a writer - it's always been a passion of mine. But people told me that it was near impossible to make it as a professional writer; my parents told me I needed to choose a more stable career with more money involved, my English teachers left me unceasing comments on my papers about how my work was "undeveloped" and other stuff like that.Contd

  • @paulmccartneyrocks Maybe that was true, but in any case it put me down and made me feel like I wasn't really as great of a writer as I thought I was. And I stopped really writing like I used to for quite a while. I want you to know that you, almost as the sole influence on me in this situation, have inspired me to start writing again and to not give up on childhood dreams because of what other people have said. Thank you, Kyle, I can't express my gratitude enough.

  • Amen man. Amen.

  • i dont watch the news for that reason

  • this is so true, so many people around me are so convinced with the mentality of "omg im gonna be concidered a loser if i do this or if i think about that" all because of what they see on tv or what their friends do or say. so true.. so true

  • The only time i paused this video was to delete my facebook .

    I loved this, thank you (:

  • awesome.. i needed this :)

  • you're freaking amazing, mr. cease

  • joey :)

  • People have an innate tendency to allow people to tell them what to do and there's really no figure or PSA or whatever that would try and correct that because it's not in the best interest of a business or interest group to do that and as a result people mistake something common or prominent for something normal and acceptable, like most people would have told me to break this up into more than one sentence, which I guess at some point just makes me stubborn.

  • so awesome!

  • I love to having this playing while i surf the interwebs listening to it in the background:)

  • i just watched this twice in a row for the first time... thanks. this is big. almost as big as ICP's Miracles... im serious.

  • What a day!

  • Perfect timing...

  • great!

  • I swear I saw this video EXACTLY when I needed to. God bless you, Kyle.

  • NEWS: Kenya offer condolences to Japan.
