The one thing that demotivates me the most is the voice in my head that tells me "even when you get there, you still won't be happy, so why bother putting in the effort anyway"

[@ryanbryancyan]

I learned this from Dr. Scott Eilers here on KZbin… If you don’t feel happy either way, why not just do the healthier option?

[@ColdBaltBlue]

Happiness is different from contentment. Happiness is a temporary and fleeting feeling we get from accomplishing a short term goal, whereas contentment is being able to live with the choices you’ve made and feel fulfilled going down the path you’re going down. The ticking of life’s clock makes you feel like you have to do everything all at once, but that impossible in a lifetime.

i'm 21 and i've always wanted to be an artist and a musician. i didnt go to college. right after high school, during the pandemic, my dad started getting sick due to parkinson's. i was at home working and saving money, and 3 1/2 years of this went by. during this time i watched my parents' dynamic more closely and realized my dad was very controlling and manipulative. in the middle of it we moved states and i was hundreds of miles away from my friends that were helping me through it. i just watched him get worse and watched my parents make each other miserable, and had no hope for myself or my family. now my parents are divorced and my dad's in an assisted living home with professional carers, and it's just me, my mom, and my little sister at home. i feel like my head's still spinning from all of it and i compare myself to my friends graduating college and i feel so behind. i'm also just now learning how to drive and that's been challenging. i feel like every day's just a stumble in the dark. it's nice to read your comment and remember that i'm not the only one feeling this way, and i admire your resolve to make a change. i wish you the best, this will be a better year for both of us :)

They will contact you and see if you are interested when they become available. Depending on your age, it might take a year or 2 to find one. That Gov site is very good though.

This is the whole idea of being comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you make sure to step out your comfort zone every day, doing so will give you satisfaction and in the end build a resilience towards the uncomfortableness, often times small things can translate to some of the biggest moves in the future. If you get used to stepping out your comfort zone and you get used to failing it will only make doing new things that much easier and that much more beneficial for you. I try to tell my ‘anti social’ friends that its possible no matter who or what you claim you are , go out and step out your comfort zone even if its just saying hi to a crush.

I'm 27 in an Eastern European homeless shelter. I'm lucky to have internet and a phone. At 22 I was an intern in a tech company as a frontend dev. It doesn't work out for everybody. I tried and grinded for 3 years to make it, ended up addicted on amphetamine and MDMA to be able to study as much as I can to catch up to the real programmers and it ruined my life. I'm not that guy who study every stack and uni sh!t, grit isn't enough, this is the truth. You are talented and an entrepenuer inside. I could never record my face giving advice or start a company. I suck at business and wages here are so low you just can't make ends meet alone by yourself. I lost my passion after realizing the soul sucking reality of the corporate cubicle work, paired with their greed to manipulate you into doing 3 positions for the wage for 1. I wish others to achieve their IT dream, but I'm one of those self made devs who silently failed.

I’m 23, gonna be finishing university by the end of the year & sometimes I wish I had dropped out around 19 to start pursuing something I was more passionate about. I’m confident able to land a decent job with my BA. Look into product management & quality assurance, super lucrative fields that you get into it with cheap course certifications / self-taught KZbin knowledge instead of a degree. They work in the software field too

I'd had a lot of struggles early in university because I was so directionless. Job hopping around led me back to university after I really got passionate about software engineering. It does suck because I had full scholarships originally for college and could have gotten my degree pretty much debt free, but I blew my chance and had to get student loans anyway after going back. The loans suck, but I was able to get through it and it's better than working some of the crappy jobs I used to work before my degree.

Thank you for this. Sometimes I am my worst enemy.

25. Im just gonna do this here because I know I'll just forget or give an excuse later. I'd like to better figure out how to unite my various friend groups and aquaintces. Id like to better my language skills in spanish and Portuguese. Speaking of study I like to learn a trade I thought I cared which but now not so much. And I love music and drawing and like to better incorporate them in my daily life because I'll draw or play my guitar just whenever. It feels like a lot to me all these things i feel are a result of me giving more excuses rather than drive to do or just do. I know I can with my better relationship with exercise so all this is possible. I appreciate this video. Subbed.

I’m 23, and I’m just starting my journey. I, like a lot of you I assume, am highly competitive which also means I compare myself and base my success on everyone around me, which I believe is a bad thing (comparison is the thief of joy). But, if you think how I do and are always comparing yourself to others, think of it this way: me watching this video gives me miles in front of alot of other 23 yo. Same if you’re 25, 26, 28, the point is the fact that you are CONSCIOUS that you don’t have much time even tho in reality we have more than most, already puts you in a much better place compared to if you WEREN’T aware of your time. Keep grinding and take it one day at a time, be present and don’t overthink it 🙏

I needed this. I broke down crying earlier since I’ve been unemployed for about 2 months and for the 2nd time since I got fired from my last job. I’ve been 2 years out of college and lot of things I tried they didn’t work and I still have no idea what to do as a career. But I’m still trying though.

[@kevinvelasquez6442]

Thank you jonnhy! Just turned 26 yesterday, I’m ready to crush this life ! See ya when I’m 28

30 years old here and still rent, no wife or girlfriend, no kids, no degree (but have 3 certificates from community college in IT), and don't have a job at the moment. Hoping that by 38 I finished my degree, have a girlfriend/fiance/wife, have a good job, and own a house. Also, I've worked a bunch of minimum-wage jobs between 17 and now. In Colorado, luckily, the minimum wage went up to $13 an hour, but not everywhere has that luxury.

[@lj9970]

Hello, Do you still live in Colorado do you like the state still do you live there?

[@BenJohnston21]

@@lj9970 yes i still live here though the jacked up prices of literally everything here is making me consider moving to another state. i love the views here but not the people really.

[@tajzhlawi7680]

I’m 32 years of age and I just started going back to school to study for Cyber Security and get my bachelor’s. I’ve been stuck truck driving for 10 years jumping companies. It’s enough to pay my bills and live on my own in a small apartment.

I’m in my 40s. My 20s were confused and poor. Of course now I’m wishing I had started investing in the S&P. I would have retired by now.

Everything you were talking about reminds me of ‘Antifragile’ by Nassim Taleb

One thing I heard from a mail lady when I went to the post office that stuck with me “you have to be young and dumb so you can become old and wise” like he said you aren’t failing if you learned something
