Not having a kid with the wrong woman is key to being able to have choices in life.

[@jake_enslin]

I can’t deny that. We just make the most outta the hand we’ve been dealt.

[@_DREBBEL_]

Yah I picked the wrong one and it’s been hell since 😣

[@youMatterItDoesGetBetter]

@@_DREBBEL_ Heard brother, heard. I somehow made it to 33 with no kids/divorce. Life is too short to be miserable my dude. Do what you have to.

[@stephenkramer8283]

This is so good. I just turned 40 a few days ago and just really getting into this same mindset. My wife turns 40 next year and she's always wanted to go to Paris. Going to make it happen. Thanks for the video.

[@jake_enslin]

Do it!

[@JasWritesInDarkness]

This was a nice confidence boost! Thanks dude!! ❤️

[@jake_enslin]

Thanks for letting me know! Good luck with everything (whatever that may be) this week!

[@MagnusMollenhauer]

Focus on today. It could be your last. Tomorrow doesn’t matter until tomorrow. If you stress about tomorrow, you’ll lose today.

[@jake_enslin]

Thanks for the good word, magnus!

[@siltee9983]

Dude I'm 45 and I started same journey as you last year.... you are way ahead of the curve :) good luck!

[@jake_enslin]

Ur a breath of fresh air brother. Good luck to you too! We’re never too old to start living the life we want

[@_DREBBEL_]

Be proud of the life you have. Imagine how people outside of America live. And how they envy us. We have it so beautifully in this amazing country and we should all be so so thankful. I’m So thankful for our govt and our soldiers 🇺🇸🫡

[@jake_enslin]

Gratefulness definitely makes a difference

[@_DREBBEL_]

@@jake_enslin For me, it’s hope. So many projects and people in this country give me hope for the future.

[@jake_enslin]

@@_DREBBEL_ hope is so underrated. Hope isn’t fluff, hope is hugely practical for a living a quality life

[@_DREBBEL_]

@@jake_enslin 100% brother. For me personally, I find so much hope in SpaceX and NASA. Expanding into the universe and guaranteeing the survival of humanity is my shit. It’s my religion, I reckon.

Wow thank you joy!

[@SuperIce6374]

I enjoyed hearing your perspective. Thanks for the talk.

[@jake_enslin]

Thank you! And thank you for letting me know, the extra effort has not gone unnoticed

[@nicholascreates]

I've found that you need to live life with a growth mindset, rather than aiming for a set list of achievements becuase once you hit those milestones, life will still keep going and you need to still be fulfilled by it. Keep going and keep focusing on getting better, smarter, happier, stronger Thabks for the vid!

[@jake_enslin]

I’m just now starting to really understand what growth and abundance means. It’s taken so long to break through my own limiting beliefs. Thank you for this perspective!

[@nicholascreates]

@@jake_enslin Welcome! Good luck out there! Regards from UK

[@StoriTraveler]

I suffer with similar problems… honestly I think the key is to just be present and allow life to happen for you not too you. Go wherever and do whatever you feel in the very moment

[@jake_enslin]

I definitely think it should be a bit of both! Flexibility is so important too

[@kampfbagel3149]

Wise words from a wise man. Interestingly, I had a talk to a good friend yesterday, saying something similar to me. I didn't thought much about it, but after your video it really sticks to my mind.

[@jake_enslin]

I appreciate you sharing this…let’s get after it this year, friend. Never too late to start living

A wise person once told me "don't be afraid to start over, because this time you're not starting from scratch, you're starting from experience"

Holy shit that is so good. I wish I came up with that

[@skepticz730]

@@jake_enslin Thanks for the kind words. I hope that's true. If I'm honest I don't feel too good about it at the moment. I quit my job just before Christmas and have been travelling since, trying to sort myself out in the meantime while I try get back onto my path I was on but as a stronger person. I just hope it works out for me, and those starting over too 🙏🏼

[@jake_enslin]

Such kind words, I appreciate you taking the time to let me know! We got this 💪

[@PurrfectLaw]

I relate to doing too many things, I’ve noticed I try all these things but get burned out fairly quickly. I’m getting close to your age thank you for sharing this! I needed this today

[@jake_enslin]

Totally. It’s rarely the individual task that burns me out, it’s the thousand things I try to fit into the week collectively

[@ShmeegleSon]

Hell ya!

[@slvrcross]

HE'S JUST LIKE ME

[@Ready-ForTheEnd]

Sometimes life just gives you a hand you have to deal with. I don't think life is a check list of accomplishments to be had. I've found that checking off goals still didn't make me satisfied in the end. I got married, check. I moved away, check. Had a child, check. I still feel meh about it all. I love my husband and my child but I still don't feel fulfilled with this life. The excitement of the chase wears off.

[@jake_enslin]

I agree with that. Everyone definitely gets a different hand. Different challenges, privileges, forms of oppression, etc. It's not all roses. I can relate though. I found I that I checked off a lot of "societal" goals (like goals I wanted but maybe mostly wanted because they seemed like what everyone else wanted idk). And it took a lot of internal work to search for other things I wanted in life too.

[@powerjake4788]

I've been struggling to find a purpose for a long time, been playing video games my entire life though. Like, my dad worked in computers and I was given one at age 8 and I have just been playing games and stuff for a long time. My family life isn't perfect, got a lot of issues and it's true what you say. I work 40+ hours a week to support my family right now since my canadian step-dad is immigrating here, and I sort of just got forced into it. But I am keeping my head up and I continue to work, and I want to start coding. Learn how to code maybe make my own game or something like that. Learn what I can and do what I can. If I can just focus on learning martial arts, and learning code. Two things I've always wanted to do and dreamed about maybe I can get something out of this life.

[@jake_enslin]

Ya man, a goal to chip away at can make all the difference! It doesn’t have to be world changing, just something meaningful to you. And you can always change that goal if you decide it isn’t meaningful anymore. Also I’ve dabbled in game design myself! Would love to get back into it someday. I used unity, but I think I’d go with Godot whenever I start again. What kind of game would you want to make?

[@jb14_99]

Thank you for making this video

great wake up call brother !

[@Thisismyyoutubehandle1]

[@Andhowdoesdatmakeyoufeel]

Don’t push something if it doesn’t work in the long run or feels forced. Bukowski had it right

[@jake_enslin]

I always reserve the right to change my goals if it stops being meaningful to me. No need to keep trying things that make you miserable

[@Daisypoopordoop]
