These are actually great points that I don't think I've heard of from other KZbinrs before. I thought you were going to say invest in real estate, do intermittent fasting, or meditate. 😂

[@Designalily]

I need to evolve into my next form lol

[@PatriciaMasioni]

Thanks Lily, your contents lately have been really thoughtful and less « polarized ». I found myself being more consistent on clicking on them 😅

[@jeffcharles9545]

Such a great video, really enjoyed it!

[@itsgivingkyle]

i really appreciate and look forward to these every week! great reminder to keep up my mental resilience especially with this current job market

[@Designalily]

Thank you!! We are in this together 🫡

[@alisonsalbum]

this is such a great video. thank you for sharing your learnings lily!

[@Designalily]

Thank you for watching!

[@lowfatdarkchocolate]

really great perspective! "Everything you want is outside of your comfort zone"

[@shesoldmychicken7241]

This has really put things into perspective. Definitely watching this every week to remind myself.

[@PatriciaMasioni]

6:50 I’d also add other fields that have complex/ambiguous problems to be solved can often be found in B2B. It can not be an innovative field though can have similar problems that are well compensated. I’m in the b2b part of finance and dang there’s real impact to have 😅

[@aportionofpie]

Very insightful!

[@StevenCodeCraft]

Great video

[@GS-xs3we]

Agree with all of these!

[@dialac1]

I hope you’ve been more successful in finding a replacement job. I love these short and impactful videos

[@MostcallmeTim]

I should have become an electrical engineer instead of a designer. 😢 Someone has to repair the robots until they learn how to do it.

[@kelsosworld]

Super well said! I relistened

[@Designalily]

Thank you, this is was a "self-note" that seems to be resonating with a lot more people than I expected.

[@kelsosworld]

@@Designalilyits because it resonates well with people who want to grow and succeed. We all know the journey will be annoying and hard but having discipline to keep going and building your skills will always be worth the pain and effort. we need alot of patience and and to have an adaptable and positive mindset. What you said was really real unlike alot of successful youtubers who play it off like things are 2dimensional and easy

Marriage in general reduces a woman’s lifespan it doesn’t matter if the man is rich or poor 😂😂😂

[@Malekfahad420]

Hey Designalily, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos better than your Editor with good pricing and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?

[@juliefeng]

Your videos are always so valuable 🥹 I wish this one was a bit longer

[@Designalily]

It was much longer but I cut a lot of it out. I want to make sure every minute is valuable so I haven't broken 10 minutes for a while. I'll keep this feedback in mind though. 🤞🏻
