The vocabulary you used around your dating interactions was interesting. Have you had your ego death and found humanity yet?

[@oxydoxxo]

Why did this remind me of runescape?

[@NeoTrader_FZ1]

Hi. I live in Russia. I really like your channel, but Russia does not understand what you are talking about on the channel. Can I translate your videos and post them on the KZbin channel. So that many people who speak Russian can become a little more human than they are now?

[@HalfJapMarine]

The insight that you are missing is humanity. Emotional awareness is something you only think you are tapped into. It goes way deeper. Your lack of empathy is the telltale sign. This isn't "cancel culture". It is an acknowledgment of shame based upbringings and social conditioning. Feeling like you are superior. As a deconstructed Christian Nationalist. Didn't take you for a conservative till you had Jordan Peterson on.

Green has a pure intellectual gift. With him it’s always “listen and learn”. Pure joy.

I did a course correction at 53. I borrowed a million dollars and started an importing company which was a huge success then sold the company which led me to something even more successful.

Vusi thembekwayo said it here on impact theory.. “excuses are valid but they don't get you progress” 🤯

[@LIQUIDSNAKEz28]

@@ShikuLimitless Meh, it depends on how you define progress. If you're in a situation where you have to choose between sl4ving away 60+ hours a week p4ycheck to p4check with almost NO time OR ENERGY left over to do much else just to afford an apartment you're NEVER going to own *VS* Living with your parents and only working part time with plenty of extra time and money to bl0w on whatever you want (hobbies, exercise, video games, h00kers, having fun etc...) I'd choose the latter. 😉

[@genericbotface]

@@LIQUIDSNAKEz28 Where do you live such that working more than 60 hours a week still means living paycheck to paycheck? And what happens when you get sick of living with your parents, but you haven't been saving? Won't you just have to "slave away" in order to move on anyway? Or are you having your fun now, and then at some point you plan to start saving (i.e., progress)? Are you at least doing part time work that is building your skills so that you can eventually bring in enough money to support yourself? I'm not judging you for taking it easy, but my point is rather that I doubt living with your parents will be a satisfying existence forever, and you can scoff at the term 'progress' now, but life doesn't let us live contentedly in one situation forever. Whether it's an external or internal change, one way or another, you are going to need to be more creative and adaptable to avoid misery...

I'm 62 and am wiping the slate clean and starting my life completely over. I'm moving a thousand miles from the country to a city, to a different climate, without a place to live or a job, and to what I hope is better life. I'm doing this all alone, and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, but I refuse to accept the lonely just surviving life that I have had. So don't say it's impossible over 50! That was a very cruel thing to say, because a lot of people have dreams of "someday" that were just stomped on. People can reinvent themselves at any age. And Tom, you were right on the money about what makes your wife feel loved. More guys need to learn this, that a woman wants to feel that she is the most important thing in his life. We can forgive a lot of other things if that's true.

[@elipotter369]

He took that comment back & said it was very difficult. In other words, few do it. I noticed at age 40 people losing mental flexibility & most going with it. I chose to actively combat falling in to the ease of inflexibility, but most don't. That's what he has observed.

[@barbarajen1]

The guest is a bit ageist ~ and insecure. As long as you’re in this life, you’re capable of creative invention. I went back to school after 50. I now have a thriving and independent therapy practice.

Everyone who’s over 50 and depressed by this video, you’re proving his point. You have no autonomy or self knowledge. You’re letting someone on social media, a complete stranger who’s never met you, tell you your truth and define your reality. If you don’t have enough autonomy to not be phased by a stranger on youtube, you don’t have the strength, determination, resiliency, autonomy, or courage to live your purpose. You are the master of you. Once you internalize that, the rest will fall into place. He’s smart but he’s still a man struggling with his own insecurities, challenges, and warped perceptions. He doesn’t levitate and his words are not gospel. Do you.

Tom need to refine his interviewing skills a bit more and not heavily emphasized so much on "me" and "from my experience" etc... it comes off as dismissive of the other and trying to prove you are right.

All of my bad choices led to kids (who I love and who are happy and successful adults) and now I'm the permanent paid caregiver for my youngest who is disabled (who I also love and who requires full care for everything). I gave up a normal decent paying/ benefits job to care for her when she was a child but was just able to become a paid caregiver when she became an adult, so at least I can pay bills now. Kind of hard to backtrack and course correct from all of that. I've been at peace just accepting that this is where I am, this is my purpose, and maybe in the next life I'll make better choices. I wanted to do more with my life, write, travel, relax in retirement, have a camp on the water, spend days kayaking and hiking, but these are choices I made.

The gift of life is that life is meaningless. Put another way, the meaning of life is to give life meaning. Create meaning in your life. the meaninglessness is actually a positive as we can get out of it whatever we put into it.

I had my awakening on my 5th mushroom journey. 42 years old. Though my life compared to many was privileged. It wasn't without traumas. Extremely anxious, pessimistic, thinking in a scarcity mentality. Consumed with worries about the future. Wishing for death. In 4 years, i did 5 mushroom journies. On the fifth, i felt that i was reborn! But a mature man, not a child. The medicine (my subconscious) spoke to me finally. You might hear something or read it countless times. But when it comes from a clear voice from within, it has a very profound effect. I realized that whatever i feel, that's completely me. NO ONE AND NO EVENT can dictate how i feel unless i agree to feel that way. I agree to play a role in this theater called life. If i feel down, sad, anxious, it's all me. I want (or my ego wants) to live the drama. To play the character. I came out with a resolve. Determination. A clear mind. I broke the viscious cycles. I look and find beauty and perfection in the beautiful blue sky! In the sense of a sweet cool breeze touching my skin. I never appreciated the beauty of nature. I never stood for myself. Now i do. I feel like a mountain. Im united with life. I dont fear death. I dont run away to alcohol. I dont run away to cigarettes any more. If i feel anxious (cant compare to my previous panic attacks) i go on a walk and enjoy the breeze. I cant explain how profound and life changing psilocybin was. The first 4 times i had great trips with amazing visuals but not the deep experience i hear others have. Im usually very resilient to chemical influence. It wasn't untill the fifth time when i had my mind open to my reality.

I feel I have something to give and love life, feel like I’m living for the first time since I quit what I once numbed myself from, I’m going to read your books and have faith in knowing I have the inner power to live life to the fullest and have so much to give! I hope you are wrong about it being impossible. I love listening to you, very inspiring other than that I’m feeling old, ❤ Tom Great show I’m glad I found you! Cheers

Focus on getting ever smaller, ever ever smaller. not letting anything "touch" or get to you. take this mind state with you all day. don't attach to the re-construction of reality that ego has us in.

[@Starboard528]

If you are aware of what you can accomplish in life, you will learn. I totally agree with Robert. I did that many times for me in the past and I succeeded many times because I knew my personality code.

As a truck driver, might take on the comment at 2:36:19 - driving the truck doesn't fulfill ME, but, I have met people that the job does bring fulfillment to. It's a job that is not terribly difficult to do, but is surprisingly difficult to do WELL. I've been told by a number of senior drivers that it commonly takes most folk about 5 years to really get sharp at the job. At 2 and 1/2 years in, I can believe it. It's actually more challenging than I had expected coming in. As a member of Mensa, I had to place in the top 2% of society in a proctored IQ test. So I'm reasonably good at that kind of cognitive processing. Now, being a trucker does not entail solving differential calculus equations - but to perform the task WELL requires an ability to do rudimentary mathematical tasks on the fly, and adjust them as conditions change. How many miles do I have to go? Is it a fixed appointment time? A fixed window? Wide open? Do I have a metropolitan area to get through? What is the traffic likely to be like at the time of day I go through the city? How many hours are on my clock? How much fuel do I have? If I need to fuel, how busy are the truck stops likely to be, and how will that affect my hours of service? And how will all of this impact any subsequent loads after the one I'm working on now? So, there's actually a bit of mental processing to be done, and while it's not cutting-edge, it does require a bit of savvy. Oh, and try backing a trailer into a dock in a crowded yard sometime... I've had many, many servings of humble pie dished up on that particular plate, LOL

[@jerseystotler3615]

It sounds fascinating to me! Always wanted to try it myself

[@Liliarthan]

Anyone can do any job badly, but those who have a passion to be the best person they can be will find a way to continue to exceed their past accomplishments in any job. I think driving a truck, like brain surgery, cleaning a supermarket, farming vegetables, teaching children etc etc… all have the potential to do harm and to prevent harm. Every job, every role, has equal value in that way to me. A truck driver who isn’t diligent with their schedule, who doesn’t care for the value of service to their customers, who doesn’t care about finding pride in their work, carry the very real risk of ending someone’s life or livelihood. Conversely, as with all the ways you’ve listed and more, the opposite can be true. I took from what he was saying to mean that the thing that you do is less important than why you are doing it and how you go about doing it. For that person’s father, it could be that he drove a truck coz he couldn’t find another job at the time and then lost the confidence to try something new later, versus if he chose to continue driving trucks because it was the best way to fulfil a more important goal in his life - to provide for his family - and he was able to see the value his job provided for both his life and for others… same career outcome in a way but approaching it with completely different energies/attitudes and that alone will create very different outcomes in enjoyment, success, impact in the world etc. So I applaud you for doing your job and seeing how you can provide value to yourself and others by using the unique intelligence and skillset you have. You’re certainly not “just a truck driver” ✨

Some people dont get to explore themselves or develop skills at an early age because they are mentally and emotionally shut down feom neglect and abuse and being overwhelmed and overworked at school on busy work that doesnt teach one how to think or learn. I didnt discover my passions until after i birthed my daughter. I then accelerated at everything and had a very powerful self actualization.

Whereas the the podcaster believes that we are total control of our destiny and life’s trajectory. I agree with Robert. genetics and upbringing is hard for people to separate from their identity.

Louise Hay started her very popular publishing company Hay House at SIXTY-TWO years old! My aunt beame a nurse after she was 50 years old... People change when they are ready. Don't let anyone limit you!!!

[@jenniferhaddix6610]

An awful thing to say really. Don't let that define YOU! My aunt started nursing school at 50 and she took the 4 year course and became a nurse for several years. Wayne Dyer said something like "There's nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come." By the way, Wayne Dyer was almost 40 when he wrote his first book, and became a motivational speaker in his 40's, focusing on psychological themes. In the mid to late 90's, when he was well over 50, he changed direction again, and began writing and speaking about spiritual and Law Of Attraction content...there are many other examples of this. You DEFINE what you can do, and what you can BE...Noone else, especially not, all due respect, a guy who wrote some books, no matter how popular they may be. That's his reality. It doesn't have to be yours! Listen to your intuition. Not his! BTW, I graduated college at 40 with a Master's degree, Summa Cum Laude. Just saying. People grow and change at different rates. There are no set ages for finding your purpose. You just need the will and the drive.

[@superpoodlehead]

@@jenniferhaddix6610 🌟 I appreciate your encouraging words. But sorry, I was being sarcastic.

Speaking as a fifty something, it’s not mindset….its energy. There’s not as much of it as there used to be, and family occupies the bigger part of it. No problem with that…family is a high value endeavor. But energy….even on a near perfect diet, supplements, exercise, all the things. Energy isn’t boundless and consistently reliable as it once used to feel. We start conserving it almost without consciousness that we are conserving it. Dreams and aspirations that require energy get put on hold. The fix needs to deal with energy. Mindset is secondary to that.

[@adriamaral300]

I enjoyed this very much and I’ve had the same exact thoughts to Great lengths. I’m enjoying Roberts comments and I like his authenticity in a world where everyone just wants to reveal the highlights of life. Robert looks at both sides of the coin. The good decisions, the bad decisions the waiting the wrong turns, and the slight course corrections. This is life as it is and no one‘s life is perfect. Everybody has struggles. Everybody goes through losses. Everybody lives through unexpected circumstances and tries to navigate the best they can!

I started looking for answers for the ups & downs and all the situations that life has thrown at me. It lead me to Vedic astrology. I watched a ton of you tube videos & had a couple of readings. I've been studying my own charts for the last two years, and it's revealed so much. Things like my own strengths & weaknesses, family situation, relationships, career, small health concerns that I've faced, and the timing of certain cycles in my life. There are certain combinations of planets in certain houses that can cause depression too. There's so much information that slowly reveals itself the more I study. It's fun to look at the charts of friends that you know very well & have those aha moments.
