I am 50 and I realised that I don’t care about legacy. I spent my whole 47yrs trying to placate and please others and not rocking anyone boat but at the end of the day people don’t really care much because you can never ever please everyone. The best thing to do is to live your life true to yourself and then you will never be disappointed. I am 50 and retired and living my best life being a nomad.

The biggest challange for me is to find my way, to live more active and towards something. I feel sometimes in a loop of working, cooking, eating, sleeping, gaming, checking the phone, doing grocery shopping... Like there is no real purpose in my life, I just live and do the daily things and the years fly by. Ok, I can say I have a good job, a nice car, a lovely wife but still I do not feel fullfilled. I am also 40 now and to be healthy I need to do something, it is not just granted anymore, is it for the back because of sitting the whole day or in general to be moving more etc. The most I want is to feel physically fit again and mentally fit and sharp. And the older you get the more energy it costs you to be in this state. Anyways, thank you for the inspirational video.

What is more depressing is that in most Western countries, you spend 40+ years working 5-6 days a week, only to have the Government take 60-70% of you income in the form of taxes, fees etc. while inflating the remaining 30% away due to the impact of borrowing on the money supply and just plain printing money to fund budget deficits. Sad part is, most of the money is used to create an army of Government agencies to make your life more difficult and restrictive. It took me a while to understand that....now I work enough to fund my lifestyle in my own business. I don't need a Mercedes or Rolex to be happy, a Mazda or Casio works fine. I now spend more time in nature, traveling, working my classic car and riding my motorcycle.

Oh for god's sake, stop whining about paying taxes! You have opportunities to get an education, food, housing, and use roads and bridges because of 'the government.' The government responds to pandemics, wars, and natural disasters so that you can continue to criticize. Of course, all decisions are far from perfect. that is what democracy is. Just get some perspective and know that it is a privilege to pay taxes because it means that you made money!

Underrated video. I'm 30 and just had a kid, bought a beautiful home and was able to afford my dream car... had to sacrifice my childhood, because I thought this is what makes me truly happy... realized that money DOES solve problems, but it doesn't make one happy. Went down to my true self, understood concepts about consciousness, what life is really about and learnt more about god... today, I can tell that you're 100% spot on. Everything goes back to being present, being mindful and balance EVERYTHING in life, including the distractions, the fun, the happiness, the sadness, the tear, the sweat, the laughter... you have to balance everything, including how much you're conscious and unconcsious throughout.. ultimately, this will help you to master your mind, which brings true happiness as EVERYTHING makes click now... you understand literally everything, and everyone. Today, I'm not even mad on my worst enemy or if someone insults me... it's because I developed a deep understanding throughout the adversities i faced in my life. These 80 years are just a temporary phase, use it wisely and master your mind, defeat your ego, become happy, be happy, spread happiness...

I am 63 years old. My wife of 30 years passed away two years ago, even though she was a total alcoholic I think that shortened her life by many years. One of the many things that I wish she had should have done was get outside more less TVand put down the wine bottle. That was 2 1/2 years ago when she passed now I have a girlfriend I’m getting ready to get married and she loves being outside. She loves camping. She loves hiking. I think I met her for a reason. As a handyman, I’ve had 1400 customers and I was constantly working, so I think it’s time to hang up the toolbelt permanently.

Whether rightly or wrongly, I've come to sense that things enter into and pass out of our lives for a reason. That may sound a bit ethereal, but I've tried to open myself up to that possibility, and I try to be aware of what I perceive to be are signals that indicate incoming or outgoing change. The ability to be self-aware is huge in this, and I think it ties in with the message in this video. Like another comment here, I've shamefully and glibly taken much of the gift of life for granted. I've had bumps in life like everyone else, but as I'm about to turn 67 this year, I'm grateful and actually stunned by my incredible good fortune when I stop to assess the moment I'm in. I'm not rich, but I'm not poor. I'm not sick, but I'm not perfectly healthy. I'm not stupid, but I'm not as smart as I wish I was. I'm acutely aware of my mortality now, and that cloud on my horizon approaches ever faster. That being the case, ive decided to make one last attempt to create a business out of thin air based on something i think i have the skills to potentially succeed at. If i succeed at this then I'll be astonished, but I will also grade failure as a success because i know that i will have at least tried versus letting the last of my energies and abilities grow fallow in the final chapter of my life. Regret for sometuing jot tried would be unbearable to me. These changes are hard on my family because I'm upsetting everyone's comfort, but in a strange outcome I think I see them being subconsciously inspired to make changes in their own lives. I'll take the blame for forcing this change on my family, but I hope and dream it benefits them as well in some way. Change is often ugly, but it can manifest in better outcomes ultimately. Thank you for this inspiring video.

I am the awareness behind it all - the ever present consciousness that we all are. We cannot live in the past and we cannot live in the future - all we truely have is the now. It took extreme pain and suffering to have this realisation and one question I asked myself in meditation that changed everything. Who am I?

Outside of having my son, life has been very lonely. I hate the thought of leaving him and will let the universe decide when it’s my time, but I won’t fight it. I’m only good for service to others. I’ve never felt loved or wanted. No matter how much I succeed, no one claps. No matter how loving or of service I am, no one reciprocates. People say kind things and how important I am, but their words and actions don’t match. I have no one to go to. Not family, not the man I married, not friends. I’m surrounded by people and they don’t see me. I have been direct and honest about how I feel, no one cares. I get gaslit or ignored. I’m just working my life away so I can leave something to my child. That’s it

They put all their happiness on the line for their legacy and end up miserable. Too many people want to be remembered after they die, but I don’t care because I don’t think it really matters.I’ll be dead anyway so I will have no idea if people remember me!

@@FaithfulandTrue777 Yes, finding & living your Truth--aligning with who you authentically are--is not selfish; it is, as I say, Self-ful (capital-S). Selflessness, in a door-mat-y way, is extoled in our society, yet it entails Self-betrayal at every turn. That's just too high a price to pay. So I really don't care "what will people say" about the life I live(d). We are each responsible for our own happiness whether the sum of our (ideally Self-aligning) choices yield a tangible legacy or not. Of what value is your legacy, if in the course of cultivating it, I discover you've suppressed or denied your true Self for even a day, let alone for decades?

It's hard to bear whether where my path should go or the responsibility that I took for myself to be something greater. I haven't done that. It doesnt matter if I'm successful or not, or having the materialistic life I've dream off since I was a kid.

That's what matters to me. Where I am in life would not impress other people but, knowing what I've been through, to me, it's quite an achievement.

Aiming to "leave a legacy" seems to be associated with unnecessary pressure. By living an authentic life that truly resonates with us and that is aligned with who we Truly are, is the best way to spend our time here wisely. Interestingly enough, people will naturally resonate and gravitate to authentic people without giving much priority on "leaving a legacy", it becomes a natural by-product.

@@simonalexandero Thanks, but I feel that my 'insights' simply constitute common sense even though I can appreciate how the terms in which I've been thinking (since elementary school) aren't so common at all. Have you ever tried engaging certain (religion-hijacked) groups of people in a discussion about Self-alignment? All I ever elicited from them were blank stares or expressions of fear or assurances of understanding me whilst simultaneously blatantly contradicting themselves! It's both funny & sad. But we can deduce why the caged bird sings.....can't we? In university (Sociology class), I met 'mature' students (45+) who expressed disappointment, even anger, when they were offered an array of essay topics & were instructed to choose one. One woman was especially chagrined. I was then 22, genuinely shocked for the 1st & only time in my life. I suddenly realized that some (or most) people experience the freedom of choice AS the burden of choice. They want to be told what to do, to think, to believe. I really didn't know, until then, that such peeps existed! (I was penalized by the prof for selecting a topic that wasn't even on the list but I subsequently settled it with the dean). But no matter, all roads in life ultimately lead Home to one's true Self in every context, sooner or later.

When I think back to my happiest moments, it’s always been them. I struggle so much to live in the present moment because I’m constantly weighed down by my fears for the future. I’m inadvertently perpetuating a self-fulfilling by letting myself believe that who I am now is all I’ll ever be for the rest of my life, even when I know that isn’t true.

But also keep in mind that “wasted time” looks very different for each person. Some may feel that if they worked too much and didn’t get to spend time with family that they wasted time, were as others may feel the same about not traveling much, or experiencing different things. For me my family has sucked so much of my time away that my career goals had been put to the side, and I mentally suffered greatly for that. It prevented me from being able to meet dynamic business and financial goals that would have changed not just my life, but my family’s life as a whole. My grandmother, uncle, and 6yo old niece would still be here if I could have been financially stable to help them. Im now in my early 30s and 10yrs married and we still don’t have kids (😢) and I’m trying to recover everyday from the emotional and psychological trauma I have endured over these last 8yrs. The pandemic didn’t help at all (it just sucked away 3yrs like it was nothing) It’s hard but very doable, but it takes time.

Thank you for this video. I’m 36 and I’m going through a difficult moment and I’m experiencing anxiety and a little bit of depression, and I’m doing everything that is in my power to change my life because this period had cost me a lot of beautiful moments with my family, my daughter and my friends. I know that everything will change for the best and I can’t wait to enjoy my new life filled with love and freedom. Send you a lot of love and positive thoughts (I apologize if my english is not perfect ☺️). A big hug from Italy ❤️

I’m currently 19, just finished freshman year of college and this year I’ve learned so much about life well as much as I can for my age, bought my first car last year by myself that’s a classic car and man it’s just peaceful and fulfilling to just work and restore something with your hands, and I started to care less about what other people think, I always used to care what others think about me, but now I don’t I listen to music that I like, I do what I like for the most part when I want to, working out having a body that just feels like I can really do anything it’s such a amazing feeling, but I’m on my phone for a good chunk of the day, but I really wanna start taking risk, and just starting to fail and deal with failure and moving on this motivated me to make a choice I’ve never done before so I hope it turns out well ☺️

I was shown those yearly circles sometime back whist enjoying a pint. A year later I semi retired and travel the world working no more than 20hrs a week if that. Best decision of my life. People forget that you really only have about 60 year's if lucky of relative youth and health. High probability that past 60 you might not have the energy or health to do everything you want. If you can afford to do so start cutting down your working week and schedule life into your diary.

@@simonalexandero The most important thing is be willing to give up all the stuff you don't need in life. I got rid of my big commitments such as an expensive apartment in Hong Kong, a pricy place to live and simplified all aspects of my life, drastically reducing my outgoings. I then went part time and started a small business but treated it as a vehicle: building it around my lifestyle with no crazy growth plans hence removing ego out of the equation. You quickly learn that you don't need anywhere near as much money as most people think to live a great life providing you remove all unnecessary commitments.

Every minute someone leaves this world behind. We're all in "the queue" without knowing it. We will never know how many people are ahead of US. We can't move to the bottom of the row. We can't get out of line. We can't avoid the queue. So while we wait in line. Make the moments count! Make priorities. Make the time. Let your qualities be known. Make people feel important. Make your voice heard. Make big things out of small things. Make someone smile. Make the change. Make love. Make Peace. Get it together. Make sure you tell your people you love them. Make sure you have no regrets. Make sure you're ready. Very true. Live life and let live, enjoy, be grateful, don't waste time arguing, fighting in doing bad things life is short, live it, be humble, love yourself and be happy with what you have. Have a awesome life.
