I have an important question for you…
Who’s got your back?
Remember this: there’s a lot of people who will come and go in your life but there is ONE person who will be with you till the end.
YOURSELF.
Watch my video below:
Make sure you got your own back. Support yourself when the going gets tough. Respect, encourage and look out for yourself — no matter what.
Peace,
Sean

Hi, all ,
i hold exactly joined here,.
and i am glad that i base account this forum..
looking support to learn something unexplored here...…..
Thanks..….…:)
sorry for my bad english, i m from russia.
Thanks Sean,
Thanks for having my back by telling me to look out for mine. I need to –I just lost my job-budget cuts. I am a teacher. I teach trouble youth in a juvenile corrections facility-always taking care of the kids I teach, always taking care of my family, but never taking care of me. I have not watched my back. I hope it is not too late for me. Thanks once again Sean you are wonderful.
Jose
some good thoughts Sean.. keep em coming and have a very good year in 2010
Hi Sean
Thanks so much for this video! I’m getting through the holiday season alone so your advice was very welcome — love the hat! Due to the situation I am in (out of work, needing to relocate and move towards new opportunities) I do feel the pressure of not knowing how things will work out but usually manage to keep positive.
I am very much looking forward to more videos from you — it’s great to have you in my home!
With gratitude
Diane
You´re a good man…look after yourself
Mind your back!
Thanks Sean.
Thanks, Sean. I needed to hear this today. Thanks for the work you do, it makes a difference!
Awesome use of anchoring!
And there is something special about that hat. Look at it! It’s an awesome looking hat, haha.
Thanks for the encouraging words, Sean. I always live every day with love, joy, and self encouragement. In turn, people want to be around me, and I encourage others. Who said you can’t give yourself the same resources that you give to others?
Thanks again!
Josh Lipovetsky.
Thank you sean.
This was very empowering, i was always thaught not to be selfish, to have others’ interests first. it’s not going to be easy to erase a lifetime of conditioning, but i’ll definitly try.
thanks again

Dear Sean,
Thank you for sharing this with the world.I have been thinking about you while I was meditating last night.I thank to internet as well for this kind of opportunity to share thoughts and vision with the the world.Christmas is my favorite time of the year and I love to celebrate Christmas for so many reasons.Last night I had chance to be alone with me and my soul heart to heart talk.I realize how important my health is.There is no one to take care of me but myself.If I’m happy, every one around me are happy.Since 2003, after an accident I broke my hand and shoulder which make me lost my job,my health and my family are not the same.I thought I’ve lost everything, not really. I found so much knowledge which I couldn’t find in any book or any course.I lost something and in return I found something which I cannot explain in any language.
Sean,You don’t know me and I don’t know you but we are connected with our soul.You will live in my heart as long as I live on this planet.I love you as my own son.Please don’t get me wrong.My first child would be 27,if he was still with me.Sean, many people don’t want to say Marry Christmas and I respect that. To me it is just my believe and I love to wish you Marry Christmas and have the most amazing,peaceful and remarkable New Year.You are an amazing child of God and I’m sure you have your duty and I wish you very successful in whatever you do.Love you from bottom of my heart and my love to your love ones.God bless you Sean.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
I agree, that you should take care of yourself.
If you are a Christian God always has your back
in everything you do.
Its always a joy to watch your videos. Sometimes i feel your presence hours later.
Thanks for a wonderful uplifting message. Where were you when I needed to hear this 50 years ago. Better late than never. Blessings to you and yours. Gaia
Hello Sean,
Thank You again.
I wish You a wonderful and happy holiday!
kind regards,
Sean,
Well said.
Kinda like the “oxygen mask theory” in an airplane emergency. You cant help others till you help yourself!
Love the tough guy hat!
Your friend,
Scott
sorry but it is not that easy
there are 3 possibilities — the first you said: me first — then the others
second: me together with others
third: others first — then me
its so easy with buddhism

Thank you Sean!
One of the best advices I ever got!
Hey Sean, great, great video. Great advice. How can you get us tearing up and smiling in…4.06 minutes? Thanks a lot.
So very true! And thank you, thank you so much! I really needed to hear this right now!I so enjoy your words of intelligent common sense and true kindness. Perfect!! You’re a wise soul.
Good Advice Sean! I know personally when I’m having a bad moment with something seemingly out of my control if I “remember to remember” I have total control of how I react to it. If I react badly then there are now two things that suck, and so on. Thanks for the reminder.
Hi Sean, I like Your Have Your Own Back Theory. I’ve Actually Used It Before Without Giving It That Name. But What about When Both Your Head And Your Heart Are Going Crazy? What Would You Do Then?
Thanks for calling my attention to who my
most important back watcher is…good to be
reminded.
Very useful video.
If the problem is in your head, the answer is usually in your heart.
If the problem is in your heart, the answer is usually in your head.
Nicely put man. Applied directly to my life right now. I like that.
Peace
hi sean thanks so much for sharing!lots of time i really take other back that make me feel emotion and un secure, tension. but after aLLyour sharing make me realize that the person who take the thing is only myself. thanks
Thanks a lot Man. For raising up such an Interesting & thought-provoking question!
The Answer was pretty much surprising too Bro!
Although it was a short simple answer! To tell U the thruth the masses of Us go about our daily lives ignoring that simple but so Powerful thruth!
Even though I don’t see the Video! Still the short answer U gave & reinforced was enough 2 make Me or any1 else think deeply & keenly!
Once more thanks a lot Bro! Keep on Ur great Work
Hi Sean,
You are such an inspiration, have a happy and holy Christmas and may you continue to send inspiration and blessings to all in the year to come
Thank you for caring for and counseling people. I truly look forward to your insights because I have not looked at the subjects you have talked about that way. Thank you again.
Hi Sean,
For sure one has to support ones back as noone will be willing to be with you all the way.
Thanks Sean for that encouragement.
Tomah
Hey Sean! I just wanted to let you know that your inspiring words are reaching a little corner in my heart.… down south in Brazil, I have connected with your thoughts and ways of perceiving life and relationships many times in this past semester. Thanks for your courage and lightness of being! You makes us feel that we can do anything! And in fact, I am learning that we can!! Love and peace.
Happy Holidays Sean!
May you enjoy the blessings of the season.
Forgiveness, a recipe for sharing.
These ingredients, and the directions for use, may vary with the
strength of your imagination.
Select a container, such as a plastic spice bottle.
Label it: Forgiveness
Add some cornstarch or cocoa to your container, or you may want
to make up something … like scented powdered sidewalk chalk.
You may find it helpful to add some, “Directions for Use”, such as:
1 Accidents do happen, and sometimes we break things, or hearts,
unintentionally.
2 It can be much easier to make mistakes, than it is to admit and
correct our mistakes. Are you the first one to make this mistake;
would you want to be the last one?
3 When you make, or find your mistake, sprinkle just enough of
this “Forgiveness” on it to mark it plainly as yours, and prevent
the cat, or anyone else from being blamed.
4 Leave the mistake in plain view until everyone sees you prefer to
deal with it honestly; and honorably accept the responsibility for it.
5 Mistakes may pay for themselves more fairly through exposure;
we waste a potential benefit of our mistakes by hiding them.
6 By sharing the gift of our mistakes with others, we may help some
to make better and more uplifting choices.
7 Concealing a mistake may cause many other mistakes, perhaps
ones even more difficult to live with, or to correct.
8 The value of mistakes is in understanding the lessons they are
trying to teach us.
9 Genuinely participate in discussing how to avoid making this
mistake again. Ask for, and get, all the help you need.
10 Forgiving ourselves, may prove to be the most difficult part of
making a mistake.
11 We may find forgiving our own mistakes easier after some
practice, in forgiving the mistakes made by others.
12 Forgiveness feels good, whenever it is given, observed, or received.
13 The unforgivable; fail to ask, accept, or give their Forgiveness.
“Forgiveness is one of, “The best things in life [that] are free”
Enjoy all the best, of health, happiness, and laughter. — Jae.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
May The Rest Of Your Life Be The Best Of Your Life, ( I like it )
Have a nice 24 hours !
Life has dealt me a number of blows since 2000 and I sometimes wonder how I will cope with them. When I lost my wife I truly thought that the end had come. Sean’s words are very comforting to me and show me the way to cope. He is an inspiration.
Hi Sean,
Hey I wear a hat like that, and its tends to be only when its cold out.
I can relate to “Get your own back” and I for one will try it out and see it through.
I will get back to you and tell you how I got on getting my own back.
All the best for Christmas Sean and a happy new year in 2010
Wow, man. Thank you. This particular video couldn’t have come at a batter time for me. I’ve just realized that I DON’T have my own back. At all. And that is something I am going to work on, but I have questions.
How do you ‘get your back’? And what do you do when you are beset by problem(s) and both your mind AND your heart are all in a mess about it? where do you go for the answer in those situations?
Thank you so much for posting this, I can’t wait to see the next one.
Peace, Health and Merry Christmas!
–Cody–
You are my favorite teacher…Each of your words is precious to me..
Now…
You are taking care only of the mind
but I in my humble opinion you cant take care of the mind without the right Nutrition..( just for the sake of having a bright mind and for our maximal potential)
Think..
You are what you eat… and we have to make some choices,spiritually first and intelligently …
You should go deeper in investigating this field..
If l can comeout and be counted as one of the team that watches the back of others.
Happy Holidays, Sean!

My sincere love to you and your love ones.Marry Christmas Sean.
Once again you are like a cold drink of water on a hot day.It is amazing to me that what you just said in 4 minutes takes some “experts“4 hours to say.What a wonderful and simple but very powerful truth.Thank You Sean Happy Holidays to You
You áre INCREDIBLE!!!!! I ADMIRE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!! This video is really interesting! I am thinking in your words again and again! You are RIGHT! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
Sean this is great who has my back it was inspiring and so heart warming
When I first saw your question, I said allowed — ‘Me.’ So I understand the question, and I understand the answer. As I am a Spiritual Atheist, I must rely on myself…
Spot on and so timely this morning Sean.
You are an inspiration and a blessed one
Very warm and blessed wishes for this Christmas and New Year. Love Rose
Hey There Sean, You doing aright? Yea buddy, I do agree. The only person who will look over me , is me. I have my own back. It took me a long time to get done, but I do have my own back. I have been around many blocks. Yes, I fell down, but I got right back up and keep on going. I just wanted to introduce myself, and say… your alright. They call me Cruise here in Kentucky. I would like to hear from you back. Let me know what’s going on with yourself. thank you, Cruise
Good Day Sean, your encouragements and advise always amaze me, you just hit this right to the point, Thank you, there is not to many people out there doing what you are doing, inspiring, we all need words of encouragement, thank you.
God bless you
Happy Holidays
Andres Amador
You are amazing, Sean.
You are truly our role model and hero.
Have a happy holiday and happy new year 2010!
Warmest regards
Ana
i was starting to wonder about you. thanks for keeping in touch.
SEAN
We have to stop meeting this way. Just kidding.
You are the master of the blog. I learn so much from you every time you open your heart to us.
Today I learned how to communicate better. You have a gift of perfect timing.
Great blog and it’s also sort of funny but I wear that same hat all the time and while I was listening and watching I put it on.
I definitely got my back all the time and yes, for some reason my hat helps.
Hope you are well, things are super exciting here. See you soon.

Who’s Got Me Back???
I think it must be the other part of me that confronts against me and hold me back until the time is determined and ready to justify the chaos, rebellion and confusion inside me with harmony, peace and wisdom
Alex Gabriel V.
Hi Sean, you are so right, I have spent many times being too hard on myself rather than giving myself the support you talk about. I will remember the tip and make sure I have my own back from now on. Seasons greetings to you and a peaceful New Year.
Great message Sean.
I loved the summary: “Whenever there’s a problem in the head, the answers usually in the heart. Whenever there’s a problem in the heart, the answers usually in the head.”
It’s simple and holds truth.
Also, nice of you to mention what was up with your hat. With the hat and black clothes I was wondering if you were about to go on a heist or something.
Sean,
GREAT ideas…and I love the message.
what about when you watch yourself doing something you KNOW is not good for you? GET YOUR OWN BACK, and remind the YOU you worry about, that it’s better to choose something better?? Something as simple as eating the wrong things, saying the wrong comment, or yelling at someone you know you shouldn’t …good teachings sir!
Dear Sean, with the highest respect to You and many thanks! It’s true! But Your message is more for a man! For us — women it is very hard (what to do?) — we are using our intuition…
Thanks Sean, I love you! (no not in that way mate) Happy holidays
Thank you so much Sean. Without my Higher Power and the Heart of Power and someone like you to remind me I could easily forget that if I dont remember myself No Matter What, that I couldnt continue assisting others to the best of my ability No Matter What! My respect for your compassion and sharing of wisdom unto All inspires me more than you know. Blessed you be…
Sean,
thanks for sharing this with us.
It allowed to realize that I had not my back since a long time and obviously, it’s time to change that.
Much light,
Jean
Thanks for the wise tips, Sean. They resonate with my past experiences. Love the tough-guy cap, too! (I use my own talismans.)
Best,
John
Thank you Sean! I have recently started a more self confident journey and your words with relations to the head and heart, are truly something I will remember forever, so thank you very much! I am slowly learning to be more confident in myself and I was always relaly hard on myself, but not anymore. I am finding patience in learning and reading and being inspired by amazing people like yourself! I wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and an amazing, love-filled New Year!
Great!
Sean, be bleesed on Christmas time and in all 2010. Thank You very much.
This is a really good question, and I am so happy to say that I got my own back! I really trust myself and care for myself! I learned to love myself as I am, I treat myself with patience and understanding ( just as I would treat a little baby starting to learn how to walk), and this is the best thing I could do for me. I am the only responsible for my own life!
Good questioning, and I love what you say in the video! Thank you
I recommend it very much
Sean, Thank YOU for this blog post update, I LOVE it!
Great Advise. All the world plays in our little brains. It’s all imaginary and under our control.
The most powerful thing is that NOW is REAL, but our minds wallops out of this precious moment — into the despair of the past and the fear of the future.
Hi Sean,
I enjoyed your video a lot.
One way that I remember that I’m not alone is to pat myself on my back whenever I do something I should be proud of.
I also talk to myself (my subconscious) in the mirror, reinforcing myself.
I notice much greater confidence from doing this.
Glenn
Hi Sean,
First, I’d like to say you are an amazing inspiration. I’ve been facing a very challenging obstacle since 1999 and it’s only getting worse but when I watch your videos, I start to feel that there is hope and I can get past this.
My question to you right now is this: I subscribed to the BIO Channel but when I looked for your program, there was no listing for it. I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and am hoping you can shed some light on this problem I’m having with the channel you are on.
Thank you for everything,
Melanie
Hello Sean
Thank you for being my friend and Thank you for all inspirational videos. Happy Holiday

Help! The video is set to private and I want to watch it. My YouTube user name is XSOBBS for eXciting Systems Online BBS (online since 1994). I am always inspired by these videos and don’t want to miss a single one!
Sir

This is so true, and i always try too have my own back rather than live within others or for others. I can’t seem to get the video of ya up, Sean. But anyhow great point, I heard a little.
I was unable to view your view
Hi Sean when I click on the video, only the following message appears:
“This is a private video, if you have been sent this video please make sure you accept the sender’s friend’s request. ”
I got your back *wink*
Happy holidays.
