I walked out of my high paying job with Amazon with no backup plan because I was unhappy. I lived on savings from April until September, but I just got a huge offer from Starbucks for even more money at (hopefully) a company with a much better people oriented culture and in a much better city. I saw that every day I was waking up older with nothing to look forward to, but the inside of warehouses and harsh winters. I have hope to purchase my first home, get back into exercising, and hopefully reintroduce myself into social settings.

Would love to hear more about whether that corporate-to-corporate transition helps in the long run! I always wonder if there can ever be true satisfaction at that level of working under billionaires, but I recognize that they are a current reality. Sounds like understanding what you want out of the experience (job) is more important

[@donckwilliams92]

@@Arthalot I agree, its definitely a concern I have, but I'll let you know!

[@d4rkp1xel93]

What I like to do is I always expect failure. We often think we should achieve more and more without failure and that's just unrealistic. By expecting failure in the first place, we get to act with less fear, because we kind of already expect to see unsatisfying results at first. Lower the bar, expect to fail and just focus on consistency and determination. Fear will always be there, so might as well just act with fear. Blessings to you Inayah and everyone going on this beautiful journey to become their truest selves! ❤

[@DejaVou111]

As a 24 yr old artist , this has quickly become one of my favorite channels. These are the same conversations I’m having with myself

[@BlobsFlop]

Please do the video of how to heal your gut, because I've been struggling with this for so long 😞

[@mybedroomisamess]

21:52 the fact that i laugh, you provided us context beforehand and really just understand the deepest level of how people perceive failure and the actions that results from it before talking about how affirmations can actually help us in some way, and i think that is what most people in the self help category tends to overlook is when you want to give people advice or discuss, especially with these kind of topic you have to understand their subconcious, before giving them some kind of advice. so good job inayah! ❤

Really relate to a lot said here, especially the all or nothing mentality. Inspired by the way you express these thoughts!

[@valhicks19]

Thank you for saying the unglamorous truth people don't want to hear or believe. That doing things like eating healthy and going to bed early makes us feel better. I moved in with my (now) ex and he gave me such a hard time saying 'he never saw me' and 'even when i was home i was working' and it all stemmed from me actually taking the steps to take care of myself. Spending time doing food prep and going to bed before he got home from work upset him. Not my problem, i feel good and that's why he's an ex now!

Thank you inayah please never stop posting

[@inayah0]

You just made me cry and made my day- thank you beautiful ❤️

[@PiPiPoPu21]

I feel really upset last days. Just doing my work, having barely no social life even tho i try to change it.Your vidoes always give me some hope to go through life no matter what. I love rewatch them becouse I always find some advices. They help me forget how my life is miserable. What I want to say is, Thank you ❤

[@lorensims4846]

"Have tu do it" I call "dumb stuff I gotta do," and that seems to take the pressure off me. I still gotta do it but I can just go through the motions without the stress. I've heard "The first time you do something releases a demon." I take this to mean to expect the unexpected. You've never done this before, how can you have any expectations? I find I can be inspired by the mundane IF I can just pay attention to it. Inspiration doesn't come where you expect it. Just always be open to inspiration whenever and wherever it strikes. If you don't find inspiration, do the work anyway, if only for practice. You may surprise yourself.

Today was the set date of our extemporaneous speech for English class. We basically had to draw a random quote from a container and give a speech about it after the allotted 2 minutes to think. I was anxious about this the whole weekend, i practiced quite a bit. In the morning of the actual day, i decided to watch this specific video while i did my makeup. It gave me the boost of confidence I needed. Whilst waiting, i paced around the gym, comforting myself and telling myself that you would have believed in me. And so, when it was finally my turn to step up that stage, i drew a particular quote, one that coincidentally related so well to this video. "Everything negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise" by Kobe Bryant. I smiled reading this quote, because I knew it would be a breeze, and your video definitely equipped me with the right words to say. Thank you for sharing your mind on here, you truly have a beautiful soul. As a 15 year old still navigating through life, it's reassuring to see that it's okay to not have everything figured out yet. Baby steps!!

[@floating_glance]

Your content is always so approachable, and you always touch on so many different angles and points of a journey. Everything you said and brought up is true. One of my small steps these days is having the discipline to start the day with silence (not scrolling on all socials) and then listening to positive things to frame my day the right way. I just discovered your channel recently and it's been a part of my morning routine since then. Failure was something that I had a hard time with for a long time (criticisms from toxic communities, no strong sense of self, falling into the "all expression must be content" game, etc.). It had gotten to the point where I just kind of gave up on everything I enjoyed due to fear of failure and overwhelm. I've had a hard time just taking small steps with my goals and hobbies, always barreling towards something at breakneck speeds and getting discouraged as soon as I am derailed because of life, lack of inspo, and other things. I'm older now and I'm taking those small steps and being ok with make those small changes for those bigger gains. Moved away from those communities, switched out the "hate myself to love myself" mindset, and made a commitment to seeing things through despite the fears and failures that may come up. I'm seeing the small wins and the person on the other side of those fears and it's worth everything that comes up. Love your content, keep it up

[@wadecodez]

lol I’m right there with yuh, I’ve lived all that, and still manage to fail. When failure was painful, it was because I was looking for validation. Whatever. I’m past the pain. What bothers me more is boredom. I can make all the friends I want online but that’s all they’ll ever be. Distant friends. It’s the same stories. The same problems. The same adventures. There’s an answer to that dilemma too but I’m not supposed to know it for my age. Pretty sure people my age are supposed to complain about debt or something idk

[@postfaucet7277]

needed this. failing two classes rn. saving this for next semester to remind me to keep going ✌️✌️✌️

[@paulabarboza326]

I suck at digital art, I have never considered myself to be the most talented artist in the room... I was about to not do what I wanted to do, what I set myself to do but I saw you posted and your words and your voice calms down my own inner turmoil so thank you so much. I was able to draw digitally today while listening to this video, even if I suck at it for now ❤

[@sarka4727]

I love how raw your videos are!!! I clicked it so fast

[@bhangdu]

the timing of this video, for me, is insane. ive been dealing with failure lately and i felt so hopeless today. hopefully soon enough things will change for the better. your videos always help me process what im going through, thanku inayah❤

[@AlexR-ms4fe]

As a beginner artist, almost everything looks like failure. But I know that in the bigger picture between every couple of failures, there are gems that keep getting brighter and brighter the more I fail.

[@kenliewenlie]

have a big test i need to be studying for & i just bought a gym membership. i wrote down a whole new morning and night routine a couple nights ago and today i haven’t done a single thing i told myself i was going to start doing. thank you for reminding me to give myself grace. slowly but surely i will achieve what i want❤️same for all of us out here with big dreams. you always come at the perfect time ✨

[@TheHadMatters]

What I struggled with at that age is that your factually vast potential makes it *feel* like everyone's watching, but in reality, absolutely no one's waiting what the next move of a 20-year-old is going to be. They might be specifically curious to see if you'll turn out good or bad. That's about the whole extent of the attention they have for you. And it makes sense, because other people are busy taking care of their own responsibilities. So you have the entire weight of their expectation that you'll realise the entirety of your potential, but none of the care about how you do it, where you struggle, or what you will need to do in order to save the roadblocks (willpower, accepting how long it will take, but also genuinely being productive every day instead of making massive ambitious plans but never actually making the effort, because you're literally just "thinking" about the big picture.) The fact that I was taking on all these big endeavours when I was 19-21, but seemingly no one cared to praise me any more like my teachers did when I was in school - that was a big reason things spiraled downwards for me in the years that came afterwards. None of my peers were more interested in me because of the things I did, none of my tutors encouraged me to keep going, my family was disinterested in helping me achieve more and underwhelmed by my choices, without offering inspiration for something even more ambitious. That was my biggest lesson at that age. Accepting that no one else is going to care until you have genuinely achieved something. And that that's not because you're not worth appreciation, but simply because other people are busy with their own lives, and until you find the people who like and are impressed by what you do, you just have to be patient, and focus on getting that appreciation for your efforts from yourself, and keep up the confidence and trust that *you* are looking forward to being the person you will be if you keep making an effort. It's only when you stop making an effort that you'll eventually truly end up disappointed with yourself and not being the person who can have the relationships and experiences you want, because you won't have done enough for it. That's just hard to use as motivation when you've first started making an effort for a few months, or even a year or two, and it feels like it's not paying off. That's when you need to reinforce your patience and confidence that the rewards will come, and until then you just need to enjoy what you have. If you manage that vital step of keeping yourself going, that's when your habits and personality traits really become reinforced and permanent. Also really like what you say about having to shape your own inspiration, and taking responsibility of your emotions by setting up your environment to make you inspired, instead of just bemoaning when it isn't, and treating it as an unsolvable problem.

[@Glitterintheskies]

Thank you so much Inayah 💖

[@kip9779]

this is such a great video!! i started a new job recently, and while i've had experience in a similar field there's still so much i don't know. as expected, i make mistakes that have real consequences & that's just what happens. in my case, it's not so much about if i fail, but what i'll do when i fail. that's helped me a lot both in and out of work. i love!! being here and listening!! i love the environment you create with your videos so so so much and i hope you know how inspiring you are to me :D
