So nice to not have it called adhd and for this perspective to be so positive

[@LivingItwitDrea]

This ‼️‼️

[@severinechantalou128]

Actually multiple passion is quite different than ADHD. It's more about being a polymath. I have discovered this book last year. Multiple passion with mastery isn't instability or lack of focus. It's natural.

[@aliciaburbank8297]

Goodness! I totally agree.

[@colleenreid2429]

Agreeeeeed❤

[@ladariaduffie9093]

As someone who has ADHD and multiple passions, this video is very helpful.

[@CaseyBowman7]

crochet, drawing, watercolor painting, sewing, ukulele, guitar, yoga, strength training, gardening, journaling, gaming, watching youtube and cartoons, researching, fashion. So many things interest me and that is a beautiful thing, but it can be so hard to spend time on all these skills and balance them. Edit: I didn't know there were so many people with oddly similar interests to me 😂

[@millietanner8023]

I agree I’m into quite a lot myself and I’m still trying to learn how to balance everything I’m way better at some things than the other it’s difficult at times but I try to be more more organized with it.

[@emdeevlogs7880]

Twinnnn. where have you beeeeen

[@user-lu5pp7jn7h]

Gurl ...are we the same person ❤😂😂

[@MorkyMuffin]

So glad to see at least two other people with the same interests as me

[@quejimenez]

This resonated on so many levels for me. Thank you for giving me language to better navigate and understand/accept my journey. ❤

[@DefinedByAlex]

When you said that the growth will be slower is such a true statement, I find myself to still want the instant gratification while pursuing multiple passions & interests

[@AdamaLorna]

It's understandable because I also struggle at times with the pace of progress but it get's easier over time!

[@julisabasak5180]

THIS 100% I think that instant gratification need is such a curse and it's propagated even more due to social media and seeing only the success stories

[@Lotuaoki]

That's understandable, we live in a world that pushes instant gratification and quick results so much but you just have to remind yourself REALLY good things take time.

[@mx.chi2]

“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes is better than a master of one.” Like you said in the video, with time and different seasons, I know we can master them all!!!

[@shonylclaudia7370]

"stop ignoring signs of passion or intrigue-" girl I HAD to pause the video because I know exactly what you're talking about and I need to be more serious about the cues my soul is giving me...thank you

[@artteacher5589]

Yes, that's the one ❤

[@marymills2849]

We are multidimensional souls having a human experience so it makes sense we want to try so many things in this lifetime

[@yadiraruda7062]

[@marshamartial9637]

@marymills2849 I always think this

[@iNekol]

[@mgcc9500]

HOW DID MY ALGORITHM KNOW 😭😭😭 this is my EXACT dilemma!

[@motlatsimabalani3397]

I only thought of this and then I come across this video😮

[@ExtraReagan]

I love this take. I love to say I am a Jane of all trades. Society wants you to feel that you only have one option when it comes to what you want to do with your life but life is about experience. Everything doesn’t have to be monetized either. Do it because it makes you FEEL.

[@raquelrodgers2865]

I call myself the same thing lol I was even going to make that my IG name. I have raquelofmanyhats but I haven't started creating content yet lol because I've been in paralysis. This video has been so encouraging.

[@iamnyoka]

Often times I feel like I don't know where to start. So I just brain dump all of my goals into my notion lol and take my time working through them.

[@AdamaLorna]

Same, I'm planning on doing a video around this next ☺️

[@StudioHannah]

Same here haha, I have a whole list

[@Annamipad]

This is a great idea!

[@tiki7501]

Yes there is so much I want to do, the question is where to start first and how to get unstuck.

[@rizzmaster5000]

One thing i’ve heard that changed the perspective on learning all my passions i’m interested in is this: You don’t have to be Da Vinci to pursue a craft. All of my hobbies lived and died in my head because I was so worried about not being the best at it. But that’s okay, you don’t have to be the best to find enjoyment out of something. Now i’m crocheting, gardening, etc. It was so freeing to take the perfectionism out of learning.

[@davienstrong]

Everything is connected, and everything works together. I’ve always felt that all my interests and passions are within me for a reason, and tie together somehow. It’s like geometry, all points being connected.

[@zovinamaria]

This was a wonderful video. I do get overwhelmed with how many things I am interested in! I am a full time artist (oil painter and clay) but I am so interested in Physics and Chemistry, Spirituality & Quantum Physics, I want to learn the piano, learn languages, learn martial arts, I want to learn about Medicinal Plants... the list could go on and on! 😅 But I am only now at age 27 starting to see how this is actually so beautiful! I have such a zest for life and passion to discover and learn so many things about this existence! Even if it means having 8 different careers and 35 hobbies over my life span, what a colourful and vibrant life it will be! 😁

[@AdamaLorna]

Thank you! I recognise that- I went down a physics rabbit hole for a while after watching space time odyssey. It's a beautiful thing to be interested in the multitude of things life has to offer- you're so right. Do you share your art on instagram? I have an art page that I primarily use for following other artists and would love to connect if so ✨

[@karitthasun290]

Relate to this on a spiritual level: same!

Piano, yoga, bass guitar, graphic design, dancing, watching movies, trying new foods, meditating, travelling, learning new languages, hiking, weight lifting, reading, podcasts, witchcraft, baking, teaching, singing, cleaning, crafting, decorating, growing herbs, nurturing my cats and husband and plants. I have so many interests/hobbies and so little time and idk how any of those sync up and I’m trying to find a balance so I can do ALL those things. I just have to remind myself I can’t do them all every single day. But I can do a few everyday and switch them and incorporate multiples at the same time!

[@millietanner8023]

Drawing,painting,sewing,violin,piano,singing,songwriting,producing(still learning ), and dancing(I suck but I’m still learning), agriculture, running a business, gaming, yoga, cooking, and baking

[@angelglowstudios1454]

I can relate to this so much. Recently I started to prioritize my goals and really pay attention to what’s been fed the most and what’s gives the most value. And while I also need income, I put energy into what’s going to bring me income as well without chasing it. Happiness comes first.

[@spicychia410]

Omggggg sameeee!!!!

[@Cerisesoul]

This is so me😭 and sometimes I feel like I’m operating from a place of lack because I’m a master of none

[@l.taylor7953]

I love hearing another polymath speak about their interdisciplinary approach to life. I live and thrive this way despite the opinions and small-mindedness of others. It's very refreshing to hear perspectives which embrace broader, more nuanced thinking.

[@cheyennemyrie5347]

This was such a great video. I wrote my college essays about being a "Renaissance Woman" because of my seemingly varied experiences and I've come to love and accept that I'm most definitely the "Jack of All Trades" type who brings synergy between my interests, hobbies, passions, and aspirations. Currently finding my path between Philanthropy, Finance, and Nonprofit Arts & Culture. It's going swimmingly!

[@AdamaLorna]

What an interesting essay! That’s a super interesting combination too! Love this all for you 🙏🏾❤️

[@AriasAudios]

Oh my god, I needed this. I’ve been neglecting my channel, my health and fitness, my art. I’ve felt so overwhelmed while somehow doing nothing at all. This really helped me change my perspective. Thank you 💕

[@kat_n]

It is so true that you shouldn't ignore signs of passion or intrigue! I believe that our higher self / God / the Universe sends these wants and desires to us for our life path and purpose.

[@user-wm9rg6ty3k]

Very true, I believe so too. Ignoring these signs of interests /passion is similar to the servant who buried his talent in the bible ...

[@elizzyland]

This is the first time I've ever heard someone explain very well exactly what I've been trying to explain to myself and to my friends for years. I feel like we should all make friends and then we can all do all the things with other people who also like to do all the things! 😅

[@Theoracleyaya]

The isolation is real. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed by all the things I’m interested in that I just rot inside my room. I wanna start a channel on here to share all the thins im interested in but I just feel stuck. And scared. What if ppl thing I’m weird? Ik I’m weird but what if they think it in a bad way? But I guess I just have to be weird. Be weird or rot in my room forever.

[@stephanieclaudio_]

and being “weird” is okay because then a “weird” person like me finds you and then supports you! It’s vice versa ✨☺️ We find our community and support!

[@flyaiselatus]

Go ahead and make that channel! I love to watch people share the many things that they do. I am very far away from home and the people that get me are at home so I understand the isolation, the friends I have here do not get how I think even after I explain it so I end up doing things alone which is fine because I am also an introvert but it would be so nice to sometimes talk about things with like-minded people.

[@elizabethallardyce]

people are desperate for realness. being weird and free and yourself is precisely what it takes to make good, worthwhile, personal content. give yourself the chance to find fulfillment for no one's approval but your own, wishing the best of luck to you

[@LAIDOCKS]

you said nothing under the sun is new but connections and personal experiences are and i think about that all the time! my old english teacher once told me that nothing we will ever do or say is original because it’s “already been done” but ive always thought she was wrong because every person is SO INSANELY COMPLEX. nobody is the same.

[@yadiraruda7062]

these are my thoughts lol

[@beautyandbeyond000]

I relate to this a lot! I’ve been like that since I was young. I love weight lifting & Pilates, making KZbin videos, writing books & studying advertising & graphic design. I used to play sims too! I still would if I had enough memory because I can only play with mods 😂

[@AdamaLorna]

Listen, the memory issue is the only reason it's not still installed on my machine and now I cba to reinstall the base and all the expansion/game packs. It's probably for the best atm 😂. Love your combination of interests too ✨

[@aweirdlife]

I enjoy learning about the advertising and graphic design world. My career path I chose is commercial photography. I also have a keen eye for branding (such as studying logos, colors, etc.). Are you currently studying this in school or are you learning on your own?

[@beautyandbeyond000]

[@jupiterShoezR4Me]

It amazes me everyday how the right videos show up in feed at the right time. I'm currently trying to figure out what I want to do with my career while balancing all of my hobbies and interests (running, pottery, making floral arrangements, learning Chinese, and hiking). I graduated with a degree in architecture but Im also interested in learning and development. During the pandemic, I started teaching ESL online (and took the certification process very seriously since it's outside of my level of expertise) and I've found myself absolutely hooked on lesson planning and text reading lessons. I've also been dabbling in learning more about instructional design. So now I'm at a point where I feel like I need to choose between these 3 professions: architecture, teaching, and instructional design. I feel like Im getting closer and closer to somehow meshing these fields together but I just cant see it yet.

[@books6000]

It seems to me that you would be a great professor. If not an instructor at a school like trade school that you combine all your talents and skills. I think everything you are doing now really are in the same family. you are using both sides of your brain for analytical and creative. Step back you will see it; it’s all woven together like 12:30 in video. You could develop a course online via skill share website or something. I think it would be cool. Congratulations you are doing great keep going.

[@jupiterShoezR4Me]

@@books6000 Wow, I never thought about it like that. Thank you so much for the insight! Becoming a professor was also on my list of possible career paths too. I took a strengths assessment test a few years ago and found out that my top strength is "love of learning". One of the jobs that were recommended was professor/teacher. I've always wanted to create a course, but I just have no idea what I would make. 😅

[@books6000]

@@jupiterShoezR4Me I am glad to point it out to you. Please don’t limit yourself and take action the worst thing is to overthink and end up not doing anything. I know from experience. Create a course for people about architecture, intro course or maybe a test/course for would be students to take to see if they would like that subject or not. You have accomplished a lot keep going. Make money off your knowledge so you can keep learning. You can work your way up to being a professor by continuing to teach at different levels and your own courses. Take care, I am praying for the very best for you. Blessings & Light ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

[@YouNeverKnowWhoIsWatching]

I left my job 2 years ago to become a writer. I have tons of material that I had started but never had time to finish over the years. Over the past year though, I've been doing odd jobs including personal assistant and animal care. Working with clients animals made me start doing dog walking as a serious side hustle. And last month for no apparent reason, I decided to dress up as a clown on my birthday. I am now a 46-year-old woman 46 year old woman who is dabbling in writing, companion care, dog walking, and clowning. On any given day any of these jobs bring me joy and seemed like the perfect thing for me to be doing with my life. I've always wanted to have multiple sources of income, but I do realize that I am stretching myself in all different directions to make this happen. My daughter recently asked me if I am going through midlife crisis. It doesn't feel like it. It just feels like I'm discovering all the wonderful things in the world that are possible and I want to do them all. From 2:18 to 2020 I was doing KZbin and thought it would take off, but it never did. But I still have a notebook full of content ideas that I am genuinely interested in producing. *Sigh*

[@connectropy]

I love that you dressed as a clown on your birthday, that's like something I would do 💓😍🤩

[@AdamaLorna]

This comment was an emotional roller coaster- I literally could not predict the next line 😂. I love this all for you though! Yes, without some directed focus it's hard to achieve anything including financial goals like diversified income streams. The balance between exploration and focus takes time to form. KZbin is hard. I've been doing it for almost 4.5 years. My advice is if you enjoy it continue- make the content and share. If i had given up because in year one a few hundred people watched I'd never have made it to this video and the community of people who have formed from it ❤️

[@cristianaalexis]

Omg.. reading this comment section was so relieving.. to know there are so many people with multiple interests… it’s often mistaken of not knowing myself (I know myself perfectly fine), or that I can’t master one (and it’s not that)… or as adhd like it was something bad. 😭😭😭 this video found me at a really good time.

[@lilacfields]

literally same 😭 i think one barrier to me is actually finances. like with sewing and crochet, the only way to learn is by doing! but you have to pay for yarn and fabric and if you mess it up, that’s money wasted

Can I just say that there's nothing wrong with liking things like the Sims into adulthood? Just as long as it doesn't become toxic, having less "common" or "normal" interests are perfectly fine.

Sometimes the issue is that we are viewing our many talents and interests in the guise of capitalism. Without capitalism, we’d just explore and explore and maybe never think about the need to compound that interest upon itself to make it a good or service.

[@aweirdlife]

God knows what He is doing! For weeks (probably months), I've been thinking about my other interests outside of photography and how to pursue them. I fell off my road to my commercial photography path because of fear. I didn't think I was good enough. Most recently, God has called me back to this passion along with other desires. I miss painting, dancing, and traveling. I want to plant herbs, take singing lessons to perfect my voice, and to study Spanish (again for the umpteenth time). I've been ignoring these signs because of fear, time, and finance. I didn't think I was good enough or capable of learning how to master these interests because of my learning disability. These desires aren't random!!! God has placed them on my heart but I never knew how to balance them all because of my 9-5 job. I knew I wasn't meant to commit to just one thing! God is going to make a way and trust Him with this. Thank you for sharing this video because God has been laying this on my heart for a while. P.S. You're very beautiful 💗.

Me and my girlfriend recently tried clay sculpting for the first time. About 40 minutes in, we were each immersed in our own process. For a while, I wondered how exactly we developed our own way of sculpting the clay so fast, and what you’ve said made me realize that it was everything else we’ve done coming together in this new practice we were learning. She was sculpting like a nurse-crocheter-painter would. I was sculpting like a programmer-artist-writer would.

I really resonated with what you said about seasons. I just quit my job because I'm moving to a new country to start my MBA in September and I wanted to take some time to rest, startup life almost took my life 🙃. Not even a week after, I was already stacking up personal projects I wanted to work on, I was so excited to not have all my time sucked in by capitalism. But I had to remind myself that this was supposed to be a season of rest. I've tried to outline all the things i can do that contribute to this season, things that can feed creative rest, sensory rest, mental rest and physical rest and sticking to doing just those things for this season. My ideal life is 9 months of work and 3 months off to just explore all the different things I'm interested in and I'm actively working towards that. There is just not enough time within full-blown capitalism to explore all the things I'm interested in 😭 Amazing video, thank you so much!

This is literally so me ! So many interests and often feeling stagnant and looked at as someone who jumps from one thing to another but I see it as exploring and immersing in my interests- thank you for this video ❤️

[@MedicoreMacaroni]

When my friends say they have so many "unfinished" projects, I kindly remind them they have many projects "IN PROGRESS." Because in reality they are, for example, for a painting in order for some mediums to dry you literally would need to wait a week or more inbetween sections. For some reason the world has a weird perspective that linear = progress and anything else is a failure, mistake, unfinished. Then they imprint that perspective onto us at a young age. When in reality for many of us, doing things the right way means going steady, taking breaks, reflecting, and bouncing beteeen other projects in between. It is not unfinished, it is in progress. Steady is smooth, smooth is fast. That's how many of us operate and it is just as valid as any other mode of thinking. Thank you for bringing this point to light and thoroughly explaining this concept down to its core!

[@JuliBom]

I feel less alone when I see videos like this, thank you! Sometimes I have to also self-analyze and see if my yearning to go for multiple interests comes from lack (a feeling of inefficiency or not meeting self-expectations if I 'don't' do many things), or from a place of love and curiosity. If it's latter, then I have to see what I can fit in between work, adulting, fitness, socializing etc, but most importantly, recognize if it's an interest I'm willing to learn/fail/keep at/slow down when need to, with time and patience OR if I'm just looking for instant gratification. Often times it's a mental battle, especially with that feeling of paralysis, fears and frustrations of not meeting the expectations you want, dealing with external conflicts, feeling isolated when it's a singular activity like writing, feeling overwhelmed when it's a social activity like dancing, etc. The slow growth is so real too. Regardless, that's all to say, managing multiple interests really do reveal a lot about ourselves and our capabilities.

[@kristlecasey9506]

I highly related to this video. I wrote all my interests on little pieces of paper and put it in a jar. Every week i pull out one or two to focus on. I think this is a good technique but maybe i should focus on them for longer than a week bc with work and school sometimes i dont have time. Like you said, i do struggle with sharing my work and progress bc I feel like other ppl wont relate or support me. Ive also heard the sentiment of staying private so that people dont have the chance to sabotage you. To balance between this, i share my progress wayy later so that by the time ppl are aware of it, im on a different level

I can say one con of being a jack of all trades is it is hard to put my head down and grind bc all of my grinding feels divided. I think being organized and mastering one at a time is a good balance.

[@AdamaLorna]

I agree, there are trade offs associated with both. It depends on ones goals, the time frame they have and what kind of life one is trying to live!

[@sevmone]

I am so so so glad I found you. I'm technically a Full Stack Web Developer, but I'm mainly focusing on SRE and Back End Development. I love painting, crocheting, baking, pilates, so I'm also spread out across multiple domains. This video really spoke to me, thank you (:

[@Kuroqueeni]

I’m working on being a coder working with games lol

[@buse_ekmen]

This video spoke to me on such a deep level. I'm a 3rd year Computer Science student and over the past couple of years I've discovered my true passions for music, art, and creation. Throughout my academic journey, I've felt so stuck and held back like I'm not where I'm supposed to be. I've learned that I'm not on the wrong path, I've learned that coding/tech IS art. Seeing where tech and art intersect and connect has allowed me to transform my passion that I thought I lost for coding into a new, greater passion. Thank you for showing me it's possible to balance what I felt were two different lives, showing me it's possible to bring them together. Everything is connected, and harnessing this fact is what will allow us to nourish our multidimensional souls

Relatable last year I was doing everything I love what I realize is I didn't see any proper result. This year I decided to focus on one thing and guess what I have seen massive results in those areas.My KZbin channel and TikTok growth amaze me.

[@AdamaLorna]

It takes time to work out the optimal set up for growth but that's part of the journey too. All the best with your KZbin and TikTok too ✨

[@ocrawing_d9993]

growth will be slower is such an important point. especially when we constantly fall prey to comparison. this was such a refreshing point of view and as someone who branches out in many hobbies, it was so amazing to hear thoughts that have clouded my mind before be explained in such an eloquent and caring manner. thank you, sincerely.

[@msvladyslavap]

I found that in spiritual work the reason behind this multiplicity of interests nowadays is in fact the many unborn souls(abortions, still births etc) from your parents, ancestors are trying to finally live their lives/gifts through you. In previous generations most were in survival mode and today we have more freedom to self express. Meditations on quieting all them voices and passions inside helped me, acknowledging which ones are my own and prioritising them over others is the next step. When you do it all, the progress is slow but you eventually get there ❤

[@domithepotato]

I’ve been thinking for a while that I’ve been a “jack of all trades” with all of the things I want to do as a half joke, because I despise the idea of just picking one thing to do (especially since I’m an artist and creative person) but I felt bad about being so mediocre or just inexperienced with all of them. It was just funny because I wanted to find a way to do it anyway and this is it! I felt like I was just being indecisive with what I want to learn and was kinda just like “ok I guess I have to do one thing, fine” and I kept pushing away my interests until recently thinking about my summer plans and realizing there is a loooot of different things I want to learn, like from comp. sci to gymnastics, I just need to write everything down again and make a plan without getting too overwhelmed before I even start. And when you mentioned that your community inspires you, AND you inspire them by sharing your work as well I realized that is really important because I almost completely stopped interacting with people and communities my senior year of high school just cause I’m used to doing things by myself and never sharing unless it’s a really close friend, yet I’m always so ready to listen to my friends blab about stuff they like.. but then I think it’s awkward when I do it! And the end of this year was probably the most burnt out I felt because I didn’t have much inspiration for my fleeting motivation, and stressing about that on its own didn’t help at all with my art and I really didn’t make as much progress as I hoped for. That made me glad again that I’m going to pursue art because I will be around like minded people and none of us will shut up about our interests (including me) and it’s perfectly fine because we love it! And I learned about the renaissance in art history! So I’m already interested and get the idea! Thanks for making this video!

[@musealot9161]

Thank you so much for this video! I've felt like this my whole life. I'm an architect by training, I write, I paint, I consult for projects, I'm getting my yoga teacher training, Into agriculture, voice overs. There are times i've felt paralysed but over the last 5 years, I've been working on getting better at each of these areas and its made me learn so much about myself and my body, and even transferred skills. Thanks so much for helping me put it into perspective!❤

[@sajidabenmbarek]

1:42 I so appreciate the emphasis on computer based skills because so often that's what we are told we "should" master as a generation since it is the "future" instead of other skills that "will not be useful anymore" lt is so refreshing to find other people that also struggle with being scattered all around the place!! I don't have ADHD but I am interested in painting, drawing, photography, digital design, writing novels, reading fiction, fashion, study tube!!! Just this week I wanted to create 4 different social media accounts to share all of my 4 ideas that could become side hustles and I got so confused as to which one I should do first 😭

[@ProgressiveYoruba]

Fashion design, filmmaking, Cultural art, Content creating and working in Tech 😅…This video came when I literally needed to hear it! My creative energy gets burnt out so quickly. I have learnt to find a central theme and this helps me perfectly juggle two interests.

[@aishakandel9893]

You speak so eloquently and elegantly, something I believe needs a lot of patience and self awareness. Goes to proof that the only way you can manage a different interests is PATIENCE, SELF AWARD AND FOCUS

[@AdamaLorna]

What a kind comment! Thank you ❤️

[@Karlisa]

Every time you post, you open my eyes to things I haven’t thought about & you remind us that everything we want is possible! Loved this❤

[@AdamaLorna]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@adeebahmuhammad7727]

literally SUCH a great video and i happened to find this at the perfect time. just started my 20s and figuring out what path i want to go down, but found that i have sooo many interests. it becomes really difficult trying to balance and grow them all continuously and it made me feel burnt out and almost paralyzed to do anything like you described. im going to use this video as a reference for the future and my journey and balancing my passions. thanks so much for this video :')

[@AdamaLorna]

You're so long and have so much ahead of you! Focus is important but use this time to explore and grow too ❤️

[@aggroangel4478]

I think this is absolutely beautiful to know there’s so many of us that want to do so many things. I don’t feel crazy anymore lol

[@NalaBalenciaga]

I have about a dozen passions/interests no lie lol I have no idea how imma manage them all and be come good in them all but I am!!!! I’m gonna make sure I set an attainable schedule that is to overwhelming and realistic.

[@issasecret2365]

This video is so refreshing! It’s amazing to see multifaceted women articulate their interests and share tips for the soft life approach to it

[@Jess-yp9fo]

Like i literally manifested this video and it comfirmed so much. I was told most of these things but this gave me even more of a better understanding. Woooow

[@msagameuponedayatatime3551]

Multi-passionite ?? Absolutely beautiful, that is when I knew I needed to subscribe you stated that word so eloquently❤😂😊

[@AdamaLorna]

Idk why it's not a "real" world tbh 😂

[@laurenpetersen6233]

I loved this video. It's so true and felt so validating to say that you will have different seasons of your life that you focus on your passions. I like to paint with acrylic, paint markers, draw with alcohol markers, make bracelets with beads, make earrings out of clay and also small sculptures, along with doing some commission window painting and murals locally. So juggling it all can feel like a lot at times and that I'm not doing enough but really I just have a lot of different passions and interests I like to explore.. thank you for this perspective 🙏🏼I felt very seen.

[@darkacademiavanessa]

this channel just popped up on my recommended. WHAT A GOLD MINE. not just a woman of color about self improvement, but also one in tech, with a bunch of other interests like me! it's like your channel was made for me

[@aggroangel4478]

When you said the sims i literally was like my sims are great at a lot of things why can’t I in real life and I never wanted to do just one thing. People think I’m crazy when I say I do hair, im going to school for cybersecurity, I knit, etc I love doing things I don’t want to be stagnant

[@iNekol]

Love finding people like me, thank you for this video! Finding balance and connection within your passions is key! I am a painter, active wear designer, podcaster, Content creator and the list goes on. I also work a 9-5 😩 and am a mom. There are times where I have to dedicate to a few things at a time and find balance.

[@amermaidstudio]

pet sitting, I wanted to do weeding and yard work during the day but realized thats too much, so now im just doing, house sit, drop ins and walking, and I dont have that then I do, all my other interests, dollhouse and miniature market vendor, honor system farm stand, Twitch and TikTok Live, one on one sessions, all my cozy crafting hobbies, gaming and nature out door hobbies, its a lot trying to manage me lol

[@ofuchi]

My university studies were in computer science and spanish with a minor in Studio Art. Every time a professor would ask me why, I told them it just made sense. I couldn't explain it then, but they seamlessly complimented one another. Having graduated, I am so grateful for not staying in one field because life is so much fuller this way. I just discovered you and from switching out of being a medical doctor to being in tech and loving oil paint, I finally understand it is possible. So thank you for being you

[@Mona-LisaDi-Maccio]

I never usually write comments on KZbin videos but I just have to say this is a beautiful video Adama, I feel so seen! Also, the way you speak is so full of wisdom - very intelligent. Thank you💗

[@AdamaLorna]

Thank you so much! 🙏🏾

[@sydneyparker883]

Never would I have thought in a million years that I would come across, not only just the video, but a content creator that shares similar interests as me...from being an engineer... loving art...to Sims guru lol. The algorithm knew what it was doing because I am, as we speak, overwhelmed by all my passions and interests to the point that I choose to just work, sleep, repeat. Definitely loved this video!

[@ZoeJoiel]

This is my first time coming across you. This video is so well put together. Absolutely lovely!

[@animerage1862]

This is really nice to hear, I've been so caught up in the "I am proficient in a lot but not good enough to make any of this a career and its all too stressful" that its been hindering and blindsiding me. When in actuality I have a lot of great skills to offer and I want to always dive into new things and that is ok, even if I live the "starving artist" lifestyle cause of it for a while, at least I get to have the wonderful experiences of learning a bunch of different passions and explore life in all it has to offer

[@lovelydeedlight1448]

I am so happy I found someone like me❤ I am a candlemaker with special designs such as ice cream, frappe ect, health provider, and make homemade meals for cats and dogs. I forgot homemaker. I have to set my alarm at 4 a.m. and usually don't get to sleep until 11:00 at night. A lot of things I am not mentioning it makes me dizzy lol. I look at us as gifted people but at the same time a little overwhelming. I really thank the most high. I am grateful that you came to my page, I just subscribed and I will go back and look at other videos I think this will be good for me.❤

[@TamiaDWade]

This blessed me ❗️❗️❗️🙌🏾Girl deeper than you probably even know. I grew up being told Al of the time “You’re all over the place” because I truly couldn’t pick one thing at a time I was passionate about my gifts.

[@secretscarlet8249]

I love your diction and clarity of way of speaking, makes the already-inspiring message even better!

[@AdamaLorna]

That’s very kind- thank you!

[@raya4ya204]

When i say I dont think i have ever needed avideo more especially at this time!!! I am exactly the same, I have so many interests and passions that i am currently and always pursuing and I have been trying to find balance

[@mkpetros]

Loved this! I’ve been feeling overwhelmed by my goals but recently came to the conclusion that I need to focus on one or two and understand progress won’t be as quick for the others. This video provided the perfect affirmation and encouragement as a multi passionate creative 🫶🏾✨

[@Swayla]

This video healed something in me. From the message to the relaxing jazz, I have never felt more calm and inspired. Thank you

[@8notes_]

No fancy editing needed but i listened through it all. Just an intelligent and informed lady speaking fluently. Love it!

[@missfabidia]

Love the idea of working with seasons ! Last season, I really focused my creativity on cooking with spices and perfume collection. This new season : I want to focus on fiction writing and jewellery design. And you are right, I can totally make the synergies and connections ❤

[@crvstal2666]

i’ll be a junior in high school in the fall and i probably should figure my life out soon. i’ve had similar thoughts to this but it was just so overwhelming and i couldn’t really make sense of it, but this video genuinely helped me clear my mind and see things from a long term perspective, and not just choosing one path to take through life. thank you for this. (also you are STUNNING❤️)

[@catharinemartins4830]

I work all day long and I don't have enough time to spend on my interests but there is one thing I did that might help others on the same situation: 1. I wrote almost EVERYTHING I was interested in at the moment 2. I separeted 4 of them I was most interested in 3. I put in a order of the least interested and the most interested (I know... This is difficult) 4. I planned a schedule in wich I would do all of those 4 every week For exemplo, I got piano, singing, learning idioms and exercising I have 1 hour in the mornig, 3 hours at night and my Sundays. I can exercise in the morning, at night I can Play the piano for 2 hours and a Half and Sing for 30 minutes. Also I can write at my journal about my day in the targed language and whatch something at the target language at the weekeend (English is one pf my target languages so I'm kind of studying now) Of course I wish I had more time to spend equally on all my hobbies, but I know it is not possible so I had to do this 21:19 Edit: If English is your first language, please feel at ease to correct my mistakes 😉

[@user-wm9rg6ty3k]

Great tip , thank you

[@lilacfields]

sewing, crochet, gaming, art, writing, dance, language, skating, fashion, cooking, piano, singing. interested in all but i hate being bad at things so i don’t see through any of them. i’ve def attempted to do each of these things! but i always feel like i suck too bad and i just put it down and never continue.

[@theofficialzuzi]

The way you think is not a hindrance is such an affirmation 🔥🔥 Stunningly put and so validating.

[@only1dwill]

I had to pause at 1:08! Girllll, I was addicted to “The Sims” all the way through my early 20’s as well! I think about how that life is like that game all the time!

[@AdamaLorna]

I was looking for my sims family with that one 😂

[@sunshineysideoflife]

I appreciate this video. Thank you for the efforts you've put into it.
