From Dorset myself, just about to start my engineering degree at the OU. If you like accounting and helping with money as much as you say, get qualified and use your platform on KZbin to help others maybe.

hey no worries, it inspires me. God bless!

Ive been taking time partially off its been great. Touching grass is great for the soul. ❤

bro i have a question Does the study have to be at a specific time specified by them or can you study at any time you want? And can you, for example, finish 60 units in less than a year? And is there an option to finish the module in a period of time less than years if you can, for example, two or three years?

Hey buddy, Thanks for this video. Really appreciate it.

You not wrong u call them to they say to the same things to me. the open university tall me when apply for students finance for full time but am doing part time on started on February and the other on is October is confusing you know and they don't send letter for confirmation you registration am going to study psychology . Am single parents but am not work at the moment so i got time to study .you think is best to do part time or full time please.thank you that is very helpful

Hey man I was wondering because I'm considering applying but I'm wondering like is this degree we are gonna get recognized world wide? Or at least in the EU? And also like how are the classes exactly? Do you open your camera and stuff? And also thank you for the video it did help me a lot!

I am sorry that the ghosts of tushima video didn't work out the way you expected mate... If I had any kind of honest feedback is that I looked at it, and then saw it was a 2 hour video and just felt overwhelmed by it, which in turn meant I didn't watch all of it. I want to say that's the same for most people, a lot of people have full time jobs, families to look after and like me, have very little time on their hands, so a 2 hour commitment is hard for a movie, let alone a KZbin video. I think the sweet spot is like 15-20 minutes for me personally, but occasionally I will watch a 30 minute video if it keeps me captured. On the other hand I bet there are a lot of fans that will find and appreciate the treasure trove that is your video. I hope this feedback helps, and I love the idea of just working on things that you're passionate about.

Never touched a music instrument in my life, and don't even know how to read it, i am 34 years old waiter and i am a failure of a person, my salvation is become master in one of the instruments i love, like that if i get to 50 and still am a waiter on minimum wage at least i can play the blues

I appreciate your vulnerability. God bless friend ❤

Thanks for this video. 😊 What is the book you're reading ? (21:35)

You have improved so much in the quality of your videos since you first started this channel! And continuing and improving your way of life to the best of your abilities. So proud of you xx

Fundamentally keeping it real. Thanks for the TED talk Adam! Great to have some grounded perspective out here on the messy web in a cozy approachable format.

Thank you for making this, I understand that overwhelming feeling of having too many things on the mind and just feeling numb and sad after thinking about them all and what to do. Keep making great art! You’re helping us way more than you know! 💚

Listened to this while working, it’s quite relaxing to listen to in the background. Love hearing the personal development journey. Have a great week mate 👍

Relaxing listen while I have my morning coffee and start work on editing a video. Good morning from the Pacific Northwest, USA!

Love your content! These videos feel like a cozy chat with a friend with a mug of tea haha. Keep it up!

Also I like Tom Hollands podcast and I will add that book to my reading list

You have grown so much as a person, I’m so proud Adam! :)

Enjoyed the video my friend! I think doing this sort of personal vlog type video is really cool, it's almost like journaling, it's therapeutic and good for the soul! It's a way to get some feedback from viewers while also doing self reflection. You're young, you've got a lot of time to work on life, keep it up and keep doing what YOU love to do, what makes you happy. Looking forward to the next Exiled video if/when you make another one! Cheers from Washington State, PNW, USA!

oh how i wish i had as big of a dream like the one you have 🥹 i have no idea what i'd like to pursue or go towards, i just turned 25 and i'd like to get things figured out atleast in some level 😭

Nice way to recollect your past. I will turn 21 in around 2 weeks, this year was a quite stressful as I completed 3rd year of my university CS degree. Didn't do much extras this year as I had to work on finding an internship, improving skills for finding job etc (especially in this market with all the layoffs in tech). Managed to land an internship which I am about to complete (May get a return offer). Still working on improving my skills to find that sweet dream job. I started following you some time back because of your video game essays. It feels really odd, slowly transitioning to this adult life.

Wild Pidgeot! Mugs! Vibes! Good stuff. It's always interesting to see your surroundings out and about. A bit foreign, yet very familiar compared to my situation on the other side of Europe. Had the same with a French horror movie set at the countryside a couple years back. Not quite Hungary but compared to US / Japanese media I consume most of the time it has a nice feeling of extended home with Europe as a whole. Books sound interesting... Atomic Habits is on my backlog for a while now. Here is a weird fluff of mine: I prefer to refer to them as rituals or protocols instead of habits. Gives that nerdy umpf to the whole thing. "little... not little" That was just adorable AF. Using the word to refer to cozy vibes but contradicting the literal meaning. Absolute moment :D

Subbed. Had fun hanging out and the lesson was 🤌🏼

awesome got a new sub g don't give up ;)

thanks for the video Adam 😁😁

Actively multithreadding viddeo successfully achieved! Round1: title just gave that walk vibe, so I went on a stroll, and literally touched grass at part in early sunset... smiling like an idiot in the park not caring about the bypassers. Round2: before commenting past some chores had to do a 1.75x speedrun to catch my thoughts again... and damn, you really have a cozy scenery around there. Careful with the water! ^^ And here is how I personally like to shatter the "journey over destination" stuff, which aside from cliché is also pretty copium and you explained nicely where that casual usage of it leads. Examine the destination part more closely, separate it into inner and outside destination... and instead of the lofty external goals of the ratrace, focus on the inner destination. But here is the kicker, that's a never ending battle, an ideal never to be truly reached, sometimes progress hard to maintain, but all the more worthwhile. Enjoying the journey for it's own sake is mostly cope and drifting with a smile, but enjoying the journey in service to the inner journey/destination... as it's hardly separable if you really take it seriously is a real adventure. Discovering and acting in accordance with both your own and the world's nature. And after some roughly stoics derived word salad, I'm gonna hit you with manga cringe too: " THE BLADE IS ME " Chapter 542 of Bleach and the most important lesson in the story. Pretty badass IMO as is, but it's an urban fantasy story, where the main faction, soul reapers have special swords that are essentially a part if their soul and thus each have unique abilities and a soul reapers relationship with their sword and thus understanding an aspect of their own personality and therefore facilitating character development is a pretty neat ide IMO.

I've read a manga called 'vagabond' which is directed towards young adults. Its about a samurai called miyamoto musashi and if your interested in philosophical ideologies and perspectives on ones life and goals id highly recommend it. A quote within this masterpiece, 'Preoccupied with a single leaf you wont see the tree. Preoccupied with a single tree, you'll miss the entire forest'. over 350 chapters. i dont find this stuff 'cringy' since its all about improving life with perspective and happiness.

Love these videos. they give me a refreshing perspective on life. I do need to leave the goon cave sometime haha. It's been 2 weeks yikes.

keep pushing and keep growing. You are not competing with everyone, you are competing with oneself. when planting a seed, you need to nurture it and care for it and years down the road will turn into a beautiful flower. Time is key

Not applicable just for self improvement but generally for life I think. Especially with how everything is so instant nowadays.

Great quality video for a smaller channel! Looking forward to more

Taking small steps helps a lot when try to self improve or working towards achieving your goals.

Reach for more of what brings you peace! More power to you!

Some things that have helped me - 15k steps a day, resistance training, calories in less that calories out (track it for a few weeks). The physical and the mental seem really linked, for me at least, the more I started to move my body the better I felt in my mind as well. Outdoor activities sound great too! Best of luck

Thank you for this. I've also had my latest realisation just this week that I've neglected my physical health for way too long and it's time to do something about it. My baby steps are getting to walk outside more and Pokemon Go has been my way of doing that for now. That's just a stepping stone to getting back into working out since I already bought all of my equipment over the last 3 years. I just need to start. And starting is the hardest thing to do. I was in a groove this time last year, was on a 3 month streak working out and seeing results - then I got sick for nearly a month and after trying to work out when I was just about ready to get back in - I couldn't handle it and it killed my momentum completely. I couldn't recover until this week came.

You and I are in similar situations. -Fighting mental health mainly anxiety and depression -Making videos about games -Taking control of physical health -Going to college/ university Its kind of comforting to know I am not alone, you aren't too. Take it one step at a time that's what works me just thought I could share that advice with you.

Indeed, I am in fact procrastinating right now 😅

Smooth fire! Not needlessly bombastic hollow motivation. Calm enough for real deep attention, yet there is that energy in both your delivery and the music choice to me want to build it. And while nothing necessarily new info, the way you broke down how relying solely on motivation can backfire really hit home. Same as diversifying investments for safety in volatile times, or a stable power grid: wind, solar, geothermal, gas, petrol and mah boi NUCLEAR all have their role to play in the team. Nicely done!

First

Jackpot! Though I almost died because of you two now XD Sitting on the couch, just finishing dinner... you are at the 27min mark, toxic masculinity, the values and pitfalls of feminism. Thought about recommending/referencing the Chris Williams episode with Konstantin. And like in 2 minutes you are there. Jumped a bit with a 'hell yeah!'... and as great as it felt... wasn't the smartest choice mid-dinner 😂😅
