A Story About Finding Your Purpose in Life

This is the story about how I found my purpose in life thus far. Although I'm still very young, I think this is a good starting point to build off of, and I'm excited to begin this journey with you all!

brother i can safely say i have never watched a full youtube video for about 2 years. maybe its all the short form stuff ruining attention spans these days. man you created something real here. i cant really explain - something that really inspired me just the raw thoughts, and emotions and even your realisation, youre thoughts were the glass ceiling. and damn. i mean this video is proof that you were right there. this was amazing bro. youre a very talented guy. i watched and enjoyed every second.

[@aidansimonian]

That means so much man, thank you❤

[@MaxReisinger]

Hell of a story. Proud of you my friend!

[@afsa_3]

I'm glad you introduced him to us

[@joseperez-ig5yu]

Hey Max, hopefully he'll get as good as you with his storytelling!😊

[@aidansimonian]

Thank you brother! 🫶

Oh😮, KZbin legend is here 😊

[@sophiathephirst]

“just do something” is honestly the best advice. sitting in your bed thinking about which homework assignment to do first? just pick one. your roommate making loud noises at 8am, and considering going to the gym versus sleep vs go on your phone? pick one with resolve. want to start a business, or do research at college, or join a club sport? don’t overthink- just pick one, and have your next thought be one as you’re actually taking an action.

[@aidansimonian]

Hi Sophia, thank you so much for your comment. I agree, doing something is infinitely better than doing nothing, and is a much more streamlined path to finding what you truly love.

[@NiharikaGuptasings]

Exactly what i needed as a 25 year old who is extremely lost but aware

[@hejniol]

i agree, it is most important to just do something, i waited a long long time since i posted something (i did a few videos in the past, just like travel diaries but i was always to afraid to actually go into it and share it) and i decided that i has been enough time wasted on being scared and that i just have to do it, it was the most terrifying thing in my life to post something and share it to people but then it started being less scary every time and i can actually begin to see what i like and what i want to post, find my style or niche after i begin to feel less scared to actually do it, i still feel that a bit but less, and no one cares in the end

[@LizaSchizas]

Good on you! Im 42 and still trying to find my life purpose, although i think this year will be my main focus.

[@KevinNguyen1312]

I loved the honesty in this video. The journey from starting out to finding your passion is relatable. The emphasis on taking risks and experimenting is inspiring. Looking forward to more content on your channel!

[@aidansimonian]

Thank you so much!

Hi Brittany, thanks so much for your comment. I agree, that's also why I love it so much as a platform; so many different niches and endless possibilities for creation.

[@danielordonezjr]

I saw Max’s shoutout he gave you and I decided to watch. Your video was so good man I love your story telling, keep up the great work!

Life is not a problem to be solved, it's a mystery to be lived...... keep going on love from India ❤❤

[@miathinkstoomuch]

I keep coming back to this video, it embodies exactly how I’ve been feeling and probably everything I need to do next. Keep it up!

[@aidansimonian]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that :)

[@aayonijaadixit8424]

I really felt it when you said something along the lines of try everything and you'll eventually figure out what you like. I started my college a couple month ago and I think somewhere along these months I've lost the reason/purpose of why I opted for the course I'm doing. In class, I just feel like other people know a lot more about the subjects that are being taught, and what they wanna do with their lives than me. I, on the other hand, feel a little lost. But hearing you say those word made me realise that I guess sometimes it's ok to be lost. As long as you eventually find yourself back again. I just think I'll have to try new things in college and just figure out my interests again. And I think I'll eventually feel okay again. So thanks, lol, and sorry for the long paragraph.

[@aidansimonian]

Hi Aayonijaa, thank you for taking the time to write such an insightful comment. I can definitely relate; being around people who already have a set path can be very difficult at times, especially when you feel lost yourself. I'm glad that you got the message I was trying to send, though, which was that it is okay to be lost, as long as you're actively seeking a way out of it. Trying new things is really important, and will lead to the most personal growth in the long run.

[@checreates]

Wow Aidan, I applaud your authenticity so much. I’m a new creator myself facing the hump of “what’s next?” I resonate so deeply with you that we try to scour OUT THERE for our next move, when our potential is paved by how WE make the moves. More of this authentic content on your thought process please… you’re like a hybrid of tiktok humor, plus the thoughtfulness of KZbin, which is so rare! So keep being you!

[@aidansimonian]

Hi Ché, thank you so much for the thoughtful comment and the kind words! Much more content to come!

[@mrdooks2000]

wish you have a great life man this video inspired me so much

[@aidansimonian]

[@theogillan5510]

one thing to remember is that there is no rush! Most channels take YEARS to grow and to be honest that's the best way to do it. You want to make videos so do that but when you have a video blow up you want it to be when you already have a wealth of videos out there for people to watch more of, and then they'll subscribe.

[@farihajoyeeta1997]

you have no idea how much inspiring this video was to some of us. I'm so happy for you and wish u all the besttt!! I hope we all are gonna live our dream lives one day. Thank you for making these videos and please keep making them.

[@aidansimonian]

Hey Fariha, thank you, that means so much to me. More coming soon!

[@soundoushbb]

this video made me want to go back to posting on youtube. thnks man! i really needed that.

[@bellawood5821]

Man. Thank you for this. I relate to feeling lost and looking to define your personal creative style. It’s a difficult challenge, and comparison can get in the way if you let it. Love your story and message here. Especially the inner thoughts and realism, so refreshing and exactly what i’m going through as well! Best of luck!!! Excited for your journey

man, I know It's been a long time since you have posted it, but if you read this - I hope you will discover your path (or mix it with different exciting paths) You always will have thoughts like that, and I think It is good for you, because realizing it force you to open your mind. To change something, try something - do something. I am also glad you haven't forgot about being yourself in your videos and.. Remember, no matter what you are doing "just do something" haha if youtube makes you happy, then that's great! but if something also stole your heart, take advantage of it good luck :D

dude, I watched the video and I can relate to most of the things , I have recorded videos sice I was seven i made a lot of videos , one of them was just a fake podcast talking to myself about a cartoon called samurai jack, but i didnt share it with any one , in the last few months i started making videos on youtube but unfortunately my first vid got a copyright strike, but i will continue to make videos , at least i am making what i always loved to do

[@aidansimonian]

​@@zrzolako1047 Always follow your heart bro. And make things for yourself, not others. I think that's a really important part of the creative process that often gets overlooked. It's something that I always try to remember when making these videos. I'm really glad you enjoyed!
