Daily life often feels pretty dull - coffee, commute, work, dinner, bed - then the weekend... Aaaand REPEAT.
I think since starting a job, it's hit me pretty hard that my current routine is basically the next 30 years of my life, potentially. And I've HAD to stop seeing fulfilment as a destination I'll reach once I've accomplished professional goals, and instead to start finding FULFILMENT IN EVERYDAY LIFE 🙌
So, I've been looking for ways to find fulfilment in the small things - that has meant building up powerful habits to change my mindset in a few key areas. And those habits are meaning I feel more happy and fulfilled with everyday life 😀

About Me
I'm a trainee lawyer, part-time RUclipsr, son, brother, startup founder, boyfriend, black coffee drinker and plant dad. I graduated from Cambridge University (where I studied French and Spanish), topped my law school class and now work for a corporate law firm in London as a trainee solicitor (which takes up a lot of my time)!
Around that, I'm a big fan of discovering new ways of thinking, of balancing work with life, and of performing to the very best of my ability. Ohh, and being happy. And I try to share all that on this RUclips channel 😀
Fun fact: I believe we massively overplay the role of “natural talent” 😮 AND… I also believe that TOGETHER, WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF POSITIVITY, PRODUCTIVITY AND SUCCESS.

I honestly feel like Im going through the motions and there's nothing new or exciting going on in my life. It feels to safe and honestly it's getting boring and it's making me miserable. I find that picking a new thing to learn makes me really excited. Every month I pick up a new book in a topic I have absolute no knowledge in and it honestly makes me feel happy/fulfilled when I learn something new, maybe it's a little lame but it's been keeping me afloat!!
Hey Sam - yeh, love this idea and I think it’s something I really miss and maybe want to do more! Learning new stuff is hugely fulfilling, so yeh, definitely agree! Also hope that the idea in this vid maybe help a bit 😊
And aging sucks more and more every day the same routine! Believe me!!!! It sucks! There is nothing!!!!!! I m 61!
Same, I stopped going out. Drinking. Etc. Now, I just build an online profile and learn JavaScript programming language. Because, technology is never going anywhere.
Wow me too

“Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today.” You got this bestie
I love that quote omg
Thank you … this is gona stay with me forever now
Thanks. I believe talking about these matters going to change the world. My experience with boredom and being uncontent is slightly different though. I just shared on my channel how I cope with boredom
There's no quick way to find your purpose in life, but there are smart ways to go about it. I realized early in life the importance of investing for financial independence and have saved and invested with great returns using my education and skills. Since I don't have to work for money now, I started a RUclips channel to teach other people about tax and wealth strategies. Making no money, but feeling more fulfilled :)
Thank you 😊
Your lying on the beach analogy is actually correct! When I was 26, my husband and I quit our jobs to go travelling for a year. We backpacked to some amazing places and spent a crap tonne of time lounging on beaches in the Caribbean. However, the weirdest thing happened. After doing that for a few months, we actually got bored and missed feeling productive and being challenged in our lives. We ended up cutting out trip short and went back to our jobs (our employers took us back) after 9 months. As soon as I was back, I had new found motivation and was quickly promoted. I think I needed time away to see everything clearly and to figure out what I really wanted, but lying on a beach is NOT the answer. It’s definitely about having a balance between the two.
This is not surprising because all people desire to be valuable to society, be able to solve problems and so forth, it is one of our most natural desires besides procreation and survival.
How did you manage money during that time?
@@kevinlin8639 so many people questioned us on this while we were travelling and couldn’t understand how we did it. My husband was incredibly savvy at budgeting and we had a daily amount of spending we had to stick to. We did most of our travelling in areas which were inexpensive for eating and accommodation and backpacking but we always booked our own room never really bunking. We would usually spend between 25-50 USD per night on accommodation but used Agoda and got mega discounts as we continually booked through them and you earn points as you go.
We also used Air BNB but it had really only just started and the quality of staying experiences was so good back then.
We budgeted around $5 each per meal also. Which sounds like nothing but when you are travelling through Mexico, Central America, Thailand etc that is very doable. Europe was more and we budgeted for that, but we also just didn’t splurge on unnecessary stuff like expensive dinners etc. A lot of our travel was on shoulder seasons to peak times too so if you can handle not quite perfect weather, that’s a bonus.
We were also not afraid of using public transport and figured out bus networks etc everywhere, even Guatemala, the Caribbean coast of Mexico, everywhere. We were always safe and never even got pickpocketed. I think we spent around $18,000 total. You just trust the process and go for it and things always work out. Best trip of my life that I still look back fondly on today.
@@Nina-dm2vw probably if you had lots of money, stayed at luxury hotels, ate at restaurants, visited numerous excursions, jacuzzi, saunas, you had other feelingsm it's hard to fill fulfillment when you count every cent😅
It was the answer at the time though right? Without doing that your never would’ve found the answer. I’m at the point in my life where I want to ask for a leave from my career to travel for just a year and see how far I can get myself around the world to fulfill my need to see more.
notes for myself:
1. focus on self-actualisation as an ACTION:
- think actively about what may be fulfilling today / what progress i’ll be making toward goals today
- reflect at the end of the day about what happens and my direction
- NOT everything in my day will be fulfilling, but…
- …actively SEEK opportunities to do things i enjoy and am good at doing - this is up to me to DO (no one will do it for me)… or,
- …discover what i enjoy doing! ask:
a) what would i do if money wasn’t an option?
b) what activities do i lose myself in? time disappears?
2. seek fulfilment in diff. parts of my life, not just “my one passion”
- even quiet moments can be lovely, doing hobbies, volunteering or spending time with others
- few people have ONE fulfilling thing in life
3. build circle of positive influence:
- who do i associate with?
- who brings me down / drains my energy? spend less time with them
- spend more time with people who are actively seeking fulfilment + trying to solve problems
4. be patient.
- life is long, some weeks/months are dry or have zero results, but stick with it
- something might seem unfulfilling at first but become fulfilling over time
[edit: spacing]
nice!
Thanks a ton !! What a crisp articulate way to summarise it 👏🏼👏🏼🤗🤗
Great summary
+1
Thank you for sharing your on point summary! 😊
The great thing about Liam is that his content is not the stereo type of "business influencing" or "how can I become more successful" videos. He is constantly looking over the edge, questioning things, seeking for real happiness and how to achieve it. This is what makes this channel of my top 3 influences on YT. Keep it up! Love from Berlin
For real. I'm currently looking to go into corporate law and I swear his channel is one of my main sources of motivation to get up and start working hard.
@@tobyanderson5360 Same here actually haha
Same here too!
We also need business influencer to build and feed our family . They are also doing their best job . And self actualization is also important to find the true happiness in lives .
Who are the other top 2 ? Please share with us:)
If you think your life is boring it’s means your life is good. Anyone who is in trouble has no time to feel bored.
True, but people always want be better.
That makes sense
no, life is good when we feel good, not when we feel bored
Yeap. Everytime I feel bored, I always think to myself "damn those people in jail are even wayy more bored and suffering compared to me"
Thanks. I believe talking about these matters going to change the world. My experience with boredom and being uncontent is slightly different though. I just shared on my channel how I cope with boredom
I don’t find my life “boring “ per-say, I like consistency. Too me, it is only boring if, I was doing the same activities over and over but never seeing any progress. Results come eventually but its slow. And because of the pandemic some things had to be put on hold indefinitely.
This is such a common experience for successful people post-college. I feel like I should be so elated by my achievements and have a celebration of life & accomplishments. I thought I would feel like I won the Olympics after how hard I worked to get here and I could bask with friends in where I’m at
…rather after college I moved away to take a job and I’m not regularly seeing all those friends and no one is around celebrating all the work I did …rather, I just work. ?? No exciting basking in what I just accomplished and no one is around besides a boss.
IF YOU CAN Move back close to family and friends! You need a work life balance, In the end that bond with close them is what matters the most more than money
@@cf3779 It's hard to achieve this, I work and live in a strange place, no family, no friends
Welcome to the real world. Most people are just trying to make ends meet, feed their families. Bummer you're just bored...lol. Maybe thinking about the needs of others might mitigate the sense of abject disappointment when you graduated college and instead of a parade, nobody gave a crap. Jesus. Lol.
@@erica3086 If your job doesn't allow it my idea is ... look for a club / place where you can build ocntacts to ppl beside work. It mustn't be an activity you have never done and that scares you anyways just sth simple that you may like and do already, now just in a group? best wishes I have lived abroad and know how hard it is to actually connect with so
I remember having these exact thoughts when I was around 30, and then I got pregnant. My favorite part of having a kid was not to have to be self centered anymore. That was a great relief.
Im single 34 and just got my first puppy. I have never been happier with my new responsibilities 😌
@@Eserr7856 Pets are awesome at that. You never know what antics they will get into next.
I am 30rn and I feel so apathetic and bored...and what's the word...ennui? Lol I have disposable income now and I don't even know what to do...my friends can't travel with me bc they're too broke. Is traveling alone a bad idea? Ugh
@@Frichilsasta08 Traveling alone is wonderful. I waited for ages for my friends to be available to travel with me, They stood me up too many times, so I went alone. I met so many people from all over the world that I will keep in my heart forever. There were some hard time to start with ( especially back in the 90s there were no mobile phones, and sometimes no access to a phone for weeks) , but it is so great to become totally independent and free. Go for it!
Have a child to not be bored anymore. What a great reason to have a child! (sarcasm)
Ps: I was like you sometime ago but I fortunately changed my mind and I realized it would be a mistake.
Notes for myself:
1. Find something you enjoy in everyday life
2. Do not narrow down to 1 single passion. Fulfilment is to follow multiple pasions at the same time.
3. Build a circle of positive people around you. You can also read books, listen to podcasts to get ideas from positive creators
4. Be patient. Life is not always fulfiled, it's up and down and it's totally alright.
Great production value! Keep up the good work!
you are psych chanel that i already watch or fake
hiii Psych2Go I LOVE YOU
OMG HII i love ur videos
Thanks. I believe talking about these matters going to change the world. My experience with boredom and being uncontent is slightly different though. I just shared on my channel how I cope with boredom
Finding purpose has been a biiiiiig problem that I've faced for years. I honestly got stuck doing things that I didn't like and took me sooo much energy to break free. But once you break that pattern, life starts to get just a little bit more colorful...
Kinda reminds me of the movie "Soul" where he was struggling to find a single passion but found fulfilment in everything else. I struggled with doing that even after watching the film but this video really helps me to figure out how i can actualise it! Amazing video!! 😊
is it worth to watch it?
@@twilightfox6948 That movie changed how I view life....find happiness etc
I don't watch animations but I happened to watch that one and it's the best thing ever!!!!
So yeah to me it's worth watching it😂
Ooh I’ll watch it
Yes!! One of my favorite movies. I related to it so much.
@@tlahmed i`ll watch it now
I absolutely needed to see this video today! The monotonous daily grind is real and I find that unless you actually stop and purposefully think about what you can do each day to make your life fulfilling, then it's easy to get caught up. Great video!!
I needed to hear this today! I've had a rough past several weeks at work with a specific coworker. Today was the hardest in a while. I have no idea what my passions are as I don't have any hobbies. But I think I'm going to start reading self-help books and podcasts. Thank you for being such a kind energy!
I just had the thought that I am bored with my life, and I almost downspiraled into thinking I will continue to feel lonely, unfulfilled, and bored. I appreciate this video. It was very helpful. I will be patient and take life one day at a time and try to incorporate as many fulfilling activities as possible...
I've been thinking a lot about this as, last year, I let my job consume me and I'd work excess of 12 hour days just because I didn't know what else to do. Over Christmas I took time to think about fulfilment and I asked myself "if all jobs paid the same, what would you do?"
Took some time to discover that and now I know that writing and creating videos energises me, I log off at 6pm latest as I genuinely look forward to spending time writing. I finish up the evening feeling energised, creative and inspired rather than drained and numb.
I think it's really important to step back and ask ourselves these questions. It isn't always easy but it's certainly better than starting your life on day one of retirement...
The only thing I enjoy after work is tennis and Netflix, if I only I could get paid for those lol
@@Bubbles-od2tv
Some people have channels, reviewing shows they watch. So maybe you could. Lol
This is great stuff! I once heard someone say… the best way to live a fulfilled live is to have three things, 1) something to do, 2) something to hope for, and 3) someone to give and receive love from.
yes!
Absolutely great video man, thanks for this.
Going though a rough time in my life, trying to figure out what I actually want and how to feel a purpose again. You make a ton of great points and have a great perspective.
The video is awesome, thank you! As a student I faced this problem before. The 'autopilot mode' isn't the best way of living. I absolutely agree that a person can find their fulfillment in different places. After all, life is all about little moments and daily actions that end up being the most important ones ^^
Routines IS the best way of living for productivity AND it is a natural strive for the brain to seek habits, we literally are creatures of habit.
Your suggestion to take notes is actually a great skill to have and people love someone who takes really great notes. I am the notes person and my customers and co workers are amazed at what I can achieve through note taking. It helps me be part of the “conversation” and also helps me learn a ton since I get to organize information and figure out the nuggets of wisdom with the subject matter experts right there.
I just happened to run across your channel & truly loved this video!! I am in a place now of trying to find myself again & those things in my life that bring me joy. It’s so easy to get lost in the mundane but I’m on my way to finding those things that bring me alive. Thank you so much & by the way you have a new subscriber!
Thank you for the very wise words and you put them so well! Took me ten years to understand this and still working through. What I took away from this is actively looking each day to something that works to my goals and feeling that fulfillment in short bursts! I feel I have now created this portfolio career, yet I feel unfulfilled. I needed just this! Thank you
What’s helped me is finding fulfilment in every moment and realising that being alive is wonder in itself. That walk you talk about in the morning or your train ride to work, I use those just to bask in the fact that I’m conscious and aware, living life rather then planning about the future that I really have no control over. Why we are so unfulfilled is because we plan and try to control everything rather then just accept and live and let life unfold around us. Keep going though! So good you are asking and questioning these things 🧡
I came across your RUclips page a few months, and I've been hooked ever since. Your videos are always so informative, well made, and have a nice clean structure to them. Keep up the awesome work !
Thank you so much Matthew! Massively appreciate it 🤗
I’ve been having an existential crisis for the past couple days. I’m 28 and I’ve just realized that I’ve literally done nothing of my life so far. Sure I’m doing fine on paper: great career, I own my apartment and my car, I’ve saved/invested tons of money, and I have a great body (I’ve been working out for the past 10 years). But other than that, I haven’t done anything exciting or fulfilling at all. I’m just going thru the motions every day, I never get out of my comfort zone and challenge myself. I barely have any friends, I’m always the one reaching out to them otherwise nothing happens, I haven’t experienced reciprocal love or intimacy, and I struggle to find any enjoyment in my life. Everything is so dull and boring. I’m frustrated by so many aspects, and I have a hard time accepting many things about me. I’ve been thinking about this for the past couple days and I just realized that nothing will change if it doesn’t come from me.
Extremely relatable :(
(Minus the working out part I guess 😂)
Looking from the outside youre doing fine, theres just no sense of adventure i guess. Same here, i think the best step is to travel somewhere we don’t know
The first four things you have described like nothing is what 90% of population is dying to have.So you done good so far.Built a nice foundation
I really really enjoyed this Liam. I have always tried to look for the joyful moments in every day but reframing that to look for the more fulfilling moments definitely seems like it would make my days a lot more positive. Something to try!
To the incredible person that's seeing this, I wish you all the best in life❤ don't over blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn the skills needed and get after it, all the keys to a happy life is in your hands. Keep pushing.
The last bit is extremely important to me. Many times I've caught myself getting frustrated with an activity before investing enough time into that activity first. For example, joining new social circles: as a - somewhat - introvert, it felt hard at times surrounding myself with people. Many times I felt myself in "awkward silence" with people. But knowing my overall goal and fulfillment (being socially at ease) I forced myself to go out, talk and interact with people. And it became one of my "best" skills over time.
Thanks for sharing this, Liam. As a retired woman of 64, I resonate deeply with the essence of your focus and what you value in your season of life. You’re optimizing your opportunities and challenges, both gifts that can be used as portals to new experience, ground to tend in creating your own Life Garden. I’m glad to have come across your thoughtful vid today. Keep it up, no matter what, and it will be an expanding gift to others.
Bless you. 🙏✌️🖖🎶☀️💕
The best thing I ever did was to study the Bible it turned my life around knowing that Our creator is giving us a purpose in life and a future event that that he has for us peace to you Eileen
Wow, this is the first video I've ever seen of yours and it really struck a chord! I love all of the wisdom you impart and especially the part on being patient (and knowing that that's okay!) I'm in the "middle" of a career in my own business right now and am constantly looking for the next new thing to try, what to do to get me to the "next level" of life and I think it's so valuable to intentionally find fulfillment elsewhere as well! So thank you! (Also your video work/B-roll and color grading are beautiful, fyi!))
1. 'Actively' seek for the opportunities to do things you love everyday, things that fulfill you and help you reach your goals
2. Don't bind your passion with just one thing, especially profession. Find multiple resources of fulfillment
3. Surround yourself with positive energy, choose people and media you take in
4. Be patient. Sometimes you're working on something that takes time to see the result or sometimes it's just a bad day or week or month.
I feel like I really needed to see this today… i am 35 years old in a few months and feel like I’ve spent the last decade in Groundhog Day… it’s emotionally taxing when you don’t feel you know where/what you want to achieve in life… being comfortable and secure is a confusing place to be sometimes.
Cheers for this Liam
I feel the same feelings like yours. 👍
OMG this is literally what I really needed. I am going through the stage that I feel like I wasted all 21 years of my life, I have nothing to say if someone asks me "what are your achievements in your life you are satisfied or proud of?". Whether it is awards, or grades or personal achievements, I have none. I have not succeeded in making a strong secure social circle, and am still not sure what I want to do in the future. Your video helped me a lot, and I hope to gain more fulfilment through socialising, which is my goal for the second half of the year, and trying to be able to try out new hobbies I never started but always had an interest in. Also hope to find my true passion for what to work as in the future too. Thanks a lot!
Hope you find these things. I think you will
This video is exactly what I needed to hear honestly. Just discovered your channel and binging your videos currently. Loving the content mate, keep it up!
Wow! Incredible video first of all and second, thank you. I'm only a freshman in college that finished my first year and now it's summer. I've honestly been feeling empty and in a rough spot and been trying to get my life together because now everything is up to me where the transition period between being a child where everything is laid out for you and being an adult where you set up everything for yourself is blurry. I've always just done what was told and I feel like now is the first time I'm really feeling like I am responsible for where I go now at this time. And I wanted to thank you because this video that you made is exactly what I needed and what I needed to hear so really, thank you :)

Thank you. He, ironically, is really boring. I cut straight to the point.
Big thanks, can never stand chitter chatter
I just graduated college and started full time work and am experiencing a lot of feelings of having a lack of purpose or meaning of life. I am searching for ways to find more fulfillment in day to day life, so glad this video popped up!
Hi Liam, 8 year PQE antitrust lawyer here (US firms). Enjoy watching your videos and happy to connect if interested. Great attitude - you'll always have career / promotion or financial goals in this world so it's critical to keep a healthy rhythm as you clearly do. Keep it up!
Thank you so much for this message.. you are so on point. I’ve mostly found fulfillment over the years by focusing on daily joy via multiple interests and strengths. In recent years, mostly due to career, I lost my way. You’ve given me confidence that I can find my way again. ❤
Great video Liam!
Some random thoughts on things I have found helpful in seeking fulfilment, hopefully these might help others:
- Slower mornings. I get up and give my self time to reflect. Early to bed too.
- Clearly articulating (eg writing down) my passions and short, medium and long term goals.
- Realising “good enough is good enough”, not always breaking my back. In this sense playing the long game and conserving my energy.
- Exercise. Healthy body, healthy mind. At least 20 minutes a day. All exercise is good exercise.
- A problem shared is a problem (part) solved. If I’m in a “funk” making an active effort to speak to someone about it.
- Whatever task I’m doing trying to be as present as possible.
- A bit borrowed from CBT, but actively moving my body and changing task if I’m feeling stuck.
Good luck everyone!
Can we appreciate the starting of the video i mean the loop that's sooo nice...keep it up man loved it 👍👍
Sincerely thank you Liam for sharing this and adding to the world. Our socialised perspective on life creates a lot of loneliness, sadness, disillusionment and it is so important to see simple and clear philosophy to guide this maze.
So glad you were patient- Just discovered you and I really liked what you had to say and the way you put things over. You’ve given me a lot to think about 👊
*Everything negative around you is an opportunity for you to rise up. Stop caring about what others are thinking, just start putting in the work. I am cheering for you...*
The only issue with offering up your services to everyone at work, is that they will undoubtedly let you take on their work. Yet, you still have your own work responsibilities. This will lead to overload and burnout. It seems the more you take on, the more is expected of you, leading to more responsibility but not more pay. I am speaking of the US corporate environment, where most of us are the verge of burnout.
Thanks for sharing Liam. I think that in daily repetition of habits is the real freedom, because when you put your life in order you have time and energy to focus in the important things.
Great video and I look forward to more like this. I recently resonated with this as I have had a bunch of things recently happen and been struggling. These tips have reminded me of what I enjoy, what makes me happy and also to try and keep my anxiety at bay.
I was already in this path but hearing you say we can find passion and fulfillment daily 🤔 makes me think if I am doing it every day to break my routine pattern. And what other things can I do in addition. I really like this video. Doing nothing feels so good to slow down when we got a lot going on.
This video is really awesome! A lot of what you are saying I'm doing unconsciously and it's great to be made aware of all the things I'm already doing
I started my RUclips channel a month ago, I don't know where it's going to take me, but I'm having so much fun being in front of the camera and being creative.
Thanks Liam for your effort and keep up the great work.
Lot's of love from Germany
Thank you so much - this comment really made me smile!! Lots of love back to Germany from (currently!) Paris 🤗
Ps, keep going with your RUclips channel, and my top tip would be: don’t be afraid to copy (and make your own) things you see in others’ videos that look awesome and work well! If it’s tried and tested, do it yourself 🤗
I can’t believe I’ve only just found your channel. It’s so lovely to watch positive and very practical advice. Thank you💕
I love your channel and the message you transfer. Unlike the other bloggers who just suggest "leave your job right away, start entrpreneurship" you focus on motivation in everyday life of a standard worker
Perfect timing, I‘ve been feeling more and more stuck every week, especially with the pandemic!
Thank you so much! I hope that the techniques I shared help you feel a bit less lost and to find some fulfilment in daily life 🤗
@@liam.porritt it's definitely inspiring:)!
Very insightful! I’ve been giving myself things to look forward to every single day & it’s honestly changed my perspective on life. I think the more comfortable we get with the fact that life is full of a lot of grey area, comfortable with our boredom, the more room we have for inspiration and creativity
beautifully said :)
@@Akasha303 thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I feel like I'm stuck in this day to day rut and your perspective on it has changed my outlook on things! Thank you!
I have also just started a RUclips channel so as you were mentioning about patience, I think it definitely spoke to me even more about not giving up cause it's something that brings me sooo much fulfillment!
This really made me smile - thank you so so much for commenting!!
Thank you Liam! Your positivity is inspiring! I really needed this! 😊
Fortune favours people who dare to do something and aren't afraid of taking risks. If you want good luck, then go out there and get it!
I think the reason why people get so bored is not because of a lack of things to do is mostly due to a lack of Interest in pursuing a tough goal.
I love Simon sinek and Tony Robbins because they put perspective on real life goals
thank you for this!! it’s a really good reminder, especially to those of us who do get caught in the everyday loop or are just hoping self-actualization will happen sometime in the future
Love this!! Thankyou 🙏
Since 2018 Iv been on a self Actualisation journey and Iv found it incredibly fulfilling however Iv had some negative feedback from people close to me because they are focusing on my external environment however my abundance and prosperity has been an internal and spiritual transformation. I understand myself better than ever it’s like magic!!
Life is mundane most of the time for the vast majority of people and we are all in the same boat, we are constantly bombarded with being perfect or having an amazing life in all areas.
Life isn’t perfect but if we can find contentment in the discomfort then that’s a win in my opinion!!
First off - Amazing production quality!! The opening scene was really well done, but the phone alarm right at the start did startle me LMAOO
I loved most your point that you don’t always have to feel fulfilled every minute of everyday. Sometimes, there will be lulls in perceived progress but THAT’S OKAY. As long as you know you’re heading in the correct direction, you just gotta maintain perspective and look in 3-year terms rather than 3-day terms.
Keep up the awesome content! 🥳
"What are the activities you lose yourself in." - I realise in trying to be more productivity, I somtimes don't let myself "lose myself" in even activities that I enjoy a lot.
It reminded me that the reason I want to be productivity is not to be able to do everything, but to have time to do what makes me fufilled. And yes, patience is important in initially difficult tasks. Thank you! 😊
This is the first time I came across your channel, and I feel very motivated just with this one video. So many of us feel empty but we all have the luxury to come across RUclips channels like yours, to guide us to set a better mood to find purpose etc. i think we should keep exploring people like you in order to grow and feel positive and not helpless. Thanks a lot.
Just watched your video. And can relate lately about the " what's it all for ' question. Relentlessly plodding through life with the scary thought of old age looming. I am currently finding ways to forfil my life daily and not wait for a period in my life that might not even come ... who knows. Great video. Well done 👏
Find fulfilment in your everyday life. You are the creator of your own happiness on your everyday life. Before anything else it’s about knowing who you are so that you know what you love doing.
Loved the intro on this! Great points Liam.
Thanks so much Jone - very much appreciate that you took the time to comment 😊
Big help honestly. Been searching for my 1 purpose for while now. Debating a career change. Currently dealing with a job full of negative people, and have tried to distance myself from that. Glad I found the video.
Good stuff! It’s true that occasionally getting ourselves off our minds and helping others really can bring us true joy. And of course, kind of like you said, looking forward to something even if it’s small can help. I loved Joyce Meyer’s books on how to enjoy everyday life, too.
This video is mind blowing, Most times it amaze me greatly the way I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities are bound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus.
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or crypto and stocks.
I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more.
@@markconley3877 That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Tony Alin berker my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors.
@@macherie9554 You allow people to trade for you ? that's interesting , how safe is it ?
@@markconley3877 It's 100% safe and legal , He’s an expert trader on stocks and crypto. I basically do nothing but collect profits, he was able to get me in early on most of these stocks and I exited just at the right time, his analysis was really on point.
It's definitely about small daily things to keep you motivated and feel you're steadily progressing towards your goals 😊☀️👌🔥 Greetings from a Swede in cold Beijing ❄
This came up on my recommended and I cannot stress enough how badly I needed to hear this. Thank you!!!
The video is great. I am currently struggling with anxiety and depression for similar reasons. I've been studying online for 2 years (because of COVID) and I'm doing the same thing day in and day out. To learn. That crushes me. Of course the goal of graduation is somewhere, but the way there feels so repetitive. I hope I can find my motivation again soon.
Thank you for this video, Liam. I tend to watch a lot of females on RUclips who talk about things like this, so it's refreshing to come across your channel! Learned a lot from this and will look to implement these habits in my everyday life
This was excellent! And I absolutely love the question, "What are the activities that you lose yourself in" such a thought provoking question. 👍
Totally Totally Totally agree that many of us get wrapped up in the, "one purpose ".
Oh how I agree with the 'moaners" sooooo important to degrees those interactions.
#4 is SUCH an important habit! This definitely can take practice and realization of the more important things where those "inpatient moments " can destroy our flow and our progress.
Absolutely brilliant video! 💜❤💚💙
Thank you so so much! This comment has made my Friday and put me in a fantastic mood for the weekend - your kind and thoughtful words are very, very much appreciated!!
Hey Liam, glad to see that you are well. This video popped into my recommended section, so just came by to thank you for a video that you put out about a year or two ago that helped me land a job out of university. Thanks again, and take care!
This is such a great video as most of us have this feeling over and over as we go through the ebbs and flows of life. Being patient but actually sticking the the plan is very powerful.
why was the editing at the beginning so good? like it just was really good
Thanks so much 🤗
To the person reading this, Good Luck! Don't stress, everything will be fine. No matter what difficulty you are facing right now, you can overcome it! You are strong and brave.
Thank you

Wow this is just what I needed to hear now. I am finishing my master's at the moment and september is looking like a void, so this has opened my eyes to being patient and just enjoying time for what it is.
I usually don't even give this type of videos a chance because they only make me feel bad about myself, my life and the things i can't change right away, but this one actually gave me confort and some kind of direction. Thank you. Even if i still feel like trash and deeply unhappy right now, your video helped me a lot.
I pursued a ‘boring life’ as a lifestyle strategy. Definitely don’t want to change it.
I feel like I've skipped ahead of the two psychological needs trying to self-improve. I don't have many friends or intimate relationships and I've wondered why my life feels so bland. Working on self-improvement while feeling lonely feels like a dead end.
True. Self improvement only matters when you have people to share it with and that sucks.
I wonder if it’s a Catch 22? A lack of companionship creates no motivation for finding a passion, and us having passions makes us sparkle. But without starling, then we don’t attract others into our orbit. I hope that you find what brings you contentment.
Very true, and its hard to have motivation to do these things anyway when its just for yourself
I understand how you feel. On the other hand this could also mean that when (not if) you do find that special someone you will be the best version of yourself and able to put in the energy required for a balanced and fulfilling relationship.
Yes, life has more substance when you share it with people.
I definitely fell into the category of not being passionate in enough areas. I poured everything I had into a job I love, but during the pandemic in the hospital and family illness, I had to pull back on my other passions and burnt out. I now work a job where I have time for other passions and it’s made a world of difference to have multiple avenues.
Absolutely love this video, found myself so demotivated day to day as I realised my end goal in life is so far away. But this had made me realise that i need to feel fulfilled after every day in order to be happy
At 60 I agree that considering the activities in which you “loose sight of yourself” is one key to happiness. Spending too much time on SELF actualizing is a dead end over time. Maybe 5% of “satisfaction” in life is in stuff or activities focused on “me”. All the real joy is in relating to and helping others.
Actually we have to start practice to appreciate more things in life. Appreciation is the antidote to complaining.
You really read my mind. I am currently going through such phase.I am a law student and with the classes being online ,i feel lost and demotivated all the time
I keep thinking a lot of these things even if it’s not gonna happen everyday, very encouraging to hear them repeated back to me plus more ofc!
I don’t find my life boring. To be honest, I’m a homebody and feel content if I don’t leave the house all week. But I do love to read books, experiment with new food, and watch movies especially if the setting are in the 40s-60s era. However, I’m a mom to two little boys and I want them to experience life. So I force myself to do something with them and every weekend we go somewhere different to hike or we take them to the beach.
As a law student I can relate this with my life. This video is also one of of them. Keep motivating us. 👍🙂
Thanks so much Arya - appreciate your support 😊
Loved this video! Exactly what I needed to hear this mornings. Thanks 💯
Thank you for adressing this. This Phase of Life Paired with the Full Stop on Everything in the Last Two years, makes the daily life really unfullfilling. Most of my Friends are in the Middle of Something. Like Studies,Motherhood, Moving to another City.
I come at a very different angle at this: if you have to think about how to have a fulfilling life daily, then you are just making excuses to yourself. There is nothing wrong have living a unfulfilling life for a duration that you are comfortable with for whatever reason. Maybe you are working a unfulfilling job, but it pays a lot. While the work might be unfulfilling, it is allowing you to move closer to want you want. If you are truly fulfilled, you don't have to think about it.
I think the tips in the vid are a good way to train the subconscious part of the brain to find things fulfilling. At first it may seem fake/excessive or like u said it’s excuses, but the brain will then start finding things fulfilling automatically including things that a person may previously find dull. It’s all about training the brain into a new, fresh perspective :)
its all about interacting with others. if were alone most of our lives, we think our life is not going anywhere.
Thank you! I realized I didn't know what aspects of the day I enjoyed thoroughly even if I thought I'd had a good day! I was focusing too much on my lapses. Thank you!
One good habit I have carefully cared for this year. Writing daily. I appreciate a pen and a tiny notebook.
I think it's called the quarter life crisis. It's the reason the journey matters more than the destination. Good luck!
I'm feeling personally attacked by the RUclips algorithm
I didn't know I needed to hear this before I did. Thank you Liam for sharing, I'm positive this will help me be more content with my life
This video popped at the right time. I was feeling all nostalgic about my childhood and not knowing what's next.
As a brand new lawyer I’m surprised to hear you feeling like you’re doing the same thing already. Every day is so new and exciting for me as a junior lawyer.
you totally missed the point of his video..
