I love your second point. I am 32 and single, therefore I am incomplete...according to most of society....still struggle with what others say to but I'm happy and have no desire to change this status. I have found making decisions based on what others think you should is a key ingredient to not being content.
When I turned 60 yrs old in 2022, the reality that my time on earth is very limited hit me like a ton of bricks. The past 20 years flew by, and the next 20 years will as well. I retired in 2022 and have zero regrets. 💛✨️
I like to keep my life simple. This means I an behind everyone my age, but it doesn't bother me anymore. I don't need a career or a high paying job, I just want something that keeps me active, and doesn't stress me out. As an introvert, I like to be alone a lot, so I don't really build many relationships, but this also helps keep my life simple. I've gotten good at not wasting money on things I don't need, and I try to enjoy doing things that don't cost much money, or things that cost no money at all.
Man never related with something so much, I'm doing the same jobs I did at 17 at 33, I can save money fast when I want to but don't have a career worth mentioning, don't prepare for the future very well but definitely noticed the past 15 years flew by and I spent it on RUclips at home not spending money on anything, I guess I truly am an introvert
I enjoyed this video. I went through most of my life thinking everyone had some sort of script that I didn't get. I didn't understand why I was so unhappy with the house, marriage, & kids. Deep down inside I understood there was nothing wrong with house, marriage, & kids. The problem was that I didn't make that choice, I was living the prescription society had written instead of what I wanted. To be honest, society norms made the water so murky I didn't know what I want. Thank goodness all of it is gone, house sold, marriage gone, and kids grew up and left the nest. I am finally alone and the happiest I have ever been. Everything I needed was within, no one or anything outside of you can make you happy. Everything is within.
This is excellent advice. Merci. I'm 55--divorced, no kids, rent an apartment, and I dropped out of the corporate world seven years ago to work only on paying jobs and my unpaid projects that interest me. Currently, I'm doing a job alongside folks 20 to 30 years younger than I. Loving it as it affords me the time to work on my projects that may or may not turn into a dream job. I care little about keeping up with the Joneses but once in awhile I'll see an old schoolmate making bizzillions and think, "Damn, I'm behind..." Then I snap out of it, and remember all the stress I'm not feeling. Like Jordan Peterson says, compare yourself only to who you were yesterday. Follow your heart as best you can! Let the others think what they will. And most don't actually care either way and even if they do, who cares? Have a great weekend and look forward to Monday! That's what I call success. What do you call success?
Thanks for sharing. I’m 45 & been working in software sales, just for the money, but it is not who I am, I just feel like it is too late for me, and I had other ideas about things I might like to do, but now I am just jaded & don’t know anymore 😢
@@insertmyidentityhere Glad to share. I'd suggest seeing if you can integrate what is "who you are" into your life. I try to make an hour or two for my projects each day or evening. If it's financially viable, try to get a job you enjoy better while trying to get into the other things you really like to do. Or, hey, maybe you'll get into one of them faster than you think. I bet as long as you try, you'll feel better.
My story? I've always thought I didn't really have one. I left school at 16 and got a job. At 17, I fell pregnant, bought a house and got married. All before I was old enough to vote.🤦🏼♀️ Had 3 kid's by 26. Moved states, bought and sold house's, had lots of different job's, started a successful business with my husband, sold it 14 year's later. Went back to school at 44 and finished high school which I loved. Retired at 57. Fast forward to 2023, 3 kid's grown, 5 grandkids, married almost 45 year's. Living life on my terms.
Excellent video, Austin. I no longer have a daily meditation practice, but one of the valuable techniques I learned when I did, was to observe my thoughts from a distance and recognize that I am not those thoughts, rather, I am the one observing them. In life, we will always have intrusive negative thoughts about ourselves. When life feels more challenging, we may have more of these thoughts, other times less. But if you can see them as simply old tapes (that's what we called them then, today you might call them old digital files, LOL) recounting the same, familiar negative stories about ourselves and our limitations, they stop holding as much power over you. You learn to recognize them -- "there's that same old voice telling me I'm behind in life!" -- and just let them pass through your consciousness. You let them go (you can even thank them for sharing): in two minutes you'll have a new thought, and then another, and so on. We feel bad because we think our thoughts are US; they aren't. They're just stories from the past -- maybe there's some factual accuracy in them (certain things DID happen) but your interpretation is just that, your interpretation. If I observed your life I might have a completely different read on your life that would be equally as "true" -- in fact, since it would be more objective than your own read on your life, it might even be truer! Anyway, while these aren't my original ideas -- they come out of meditation practice -- they can really make a big difference when it comes to intrusive negative thoughts and the negative emotions WE CREATE IN OURSELVES when we believe them.
My career bombed after 2019 when I got sepsis and I’ve been analysing the situation for years. I know nobody has their shit together I know I’m lucky and I can do what ever I want but I do sometimes goto a dark place because my life didn’t work out the way it planned. This video really helped I need to change my mindset. ❤
I am starting to feel like I'm being left behind in life, but it's more society that is moving on than me falling behind. I am a late bloomer and I tend to take time and think about things before I act on them. I don't see too many people that do that or talk about that online. I'm learning to be happy with where I am in life and I do fully appreciate it at this point.
I've been feeling depressed and anxious for the last few weeks. Literally no energy to do even the most basic tasks. The hardest part of the day seems to be the morning where I have to drag myself out of bed. Grateful for your video. Thanks.
My advice from a 60 year old woman is to go for daily walks. Preferably at a local park, walk among the trees and birds. Breathe in the fresh air. That always helps me.
59 1/2 and lost my wife 2 yrs ago. We had kids late so I still have 2 teen daughters at home and expenses. Continuing a high stress IT job with no one having my back caused me to hang out the white flag and call "uncle". I'm chilling for 2 weeks and going for long walks thinking about what I want to do when I grow up. Retirement plans gone with my beloved wife. But tomorrow is still a new day. We all have a story to live as Austin says. So many options and paths to choose. Spend it wisely...
Even if you do follow that scale, pretty much to a T, life will still find a way to kick you in the ass. I did everything I was “supposed” to do, on the timeline I was “ supposed” to do it, and then all of it didn’t matter anymore when my girls were born incredibly medically fragile, both with a chromosome triplication. Life will NEVER EVER go as planned. I love the quote “ Life is what happens while we are maki other plans.” Embrace the storms because they are unavoidable……..for EVERYONE.
A video of truth and wisdom each time! The heaviest burdens we carry are the thoughts in our head. The mind is everything..what you think you become. You touch on so many good points. Everyone just wants to be validated. A smile goes a long way! Blessings 💕
5:52 I'm "behind" in life too. I'm turning 32 this April, single, no kids and still live with my parents. Although I've been trying to get a job abroad and stay there for a good long while to save and travel. I don't care if I'm left behind. This is my life. My life my rules ❤
Same here same age single no kids live at home still, shit. I would be a wreck to know my mom was alone after losing my dad 3 years ago, my brothers are an hour away w wives, one with 2 kids, it's crazy how life flies by I do wish I got a college degree, how the time flew by since I was 18 I could a got a 4 year degree three times over. Can I go at 33 is the question, cud I graduate college at 37-38? I just don't know... don't know what it is I wanna do I. Life
It’s funny , to me if one lives out of RUclips like you, with a nice content other than something stupid of some sorts it’s such an achievement! It means you are your own boss. It’s priceless. I look at you and I see someone that for my standards is making it better and better, at least from the work/finances side of life. Carry on and enjoy your time, because at the least you own it much more than people living under an employer and a schedule.
Thank you Austin! Great observations at the bar. I was just on a cruise ship and saw the same thing….everyone was just trying to fit in at the bars and dance floors. You are wiser than you may know.
haha, I got a comment once of someone replying to a comment and said, "I have 3 kids and I just learned I hate my wife, and my kids are under 5!" I laughed out loud when I read it!
Yes! So many people are afraid to speak this out loud and for many it is the truth. Being unmarried and childfree does not make you less of a person, it just makes a different person.
I'm also 29 and not married, no kids. Planning to cut time at work because I realized I spent all of my 20s working and have no experience in dating. I wanna fix that for my 30s. Less time at work and more time socializing.
I never ever wanted to fit in but always wanted to be my own individual self and just enjoy life the way I like it. So I never have had the feeling I was falling behind at all.
Being married and have kids is not ahead because the wrong marriage can end up in divorce. And kids simply means you are more stressed and broke. When you get into old age, none of yhem will care for you anyway. So, its better to wait and choose the right partner in life and dont have kids. Youll be more free, happier, and richer.
I am 36, divorced (got married to the wrong person at 18), no children (I don't want to), earned my master's degree this year (started going to uni at 28), no own house, no car. And sometimes I have negative thoughts, but most f the time I don't give a sh*t 🤷
Thank you Austin. I'm happy for you that you have these balanced & insightful thoughts at such a young age. And that you can share & explain in such a lovely 'down to earth' way. Sending you good wishes. Regards. Rose
Based on what you laid out about your life, being being a RUclipsr, rent, and not much else as far as bills. You live a fantastic life if I were to compare it to mine. Because everything that I’m doing right now is aspiring to that simple thing. That’s not so simple, just having a place to be, have some dogs, and be able to enjoy life with my own place.
I think you are way ahead. Most people (kids) are groomed for slavery. When they hit 50 or 60 they realize they never really lived. Be true to yourself.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge to RUclips. I listen to your videos since I discover your channel every morning at the office. Hope you will do a podcast in the near future. Thank you
Whenever you ask my father in law how someone is, he always has the same answer. Indifferent stages of development. He never talks about anyone in a negative way he just says that. It make him a safe person to talk to because you know whatever you say goes no further.
Your list of things to do. I want to do acting as a career, win awards, live forever, never retire, I do have my own condo. I base my level by what I done. And I am very content. Less things you own better life is. Goals don’t have time. You always fix the time etc. People want socialism same tooth paste etc Very well said about the mind is the most dangerous place in the world. The storm is all correct. Good point to bring Austin!
i love this reminder of huge positivity on a friday morning! we're all awesome, don't let anyone tell you otherwise! :) we're all different and that's the beauty of life!
Graduated college at 22 (No career) and then graduated again at 30, career after that more or less ok, married at 25, no kids, became home owner at 46…
My story is my friend deserting me on a group trip at 16. I got very depressed and to make it worse arrived home to a disinterested uncaring mother. Decades later I'm still on my own.
Lol. I'm moving at my own pace. I just want a cup of coffee right now. The neighbors keep trying to copy us. I'm switching concrete blocks for bricks around my flower beds. The neighbor got excited. She wanted to give me more flowers. I said no. I have 5. She backed off. As a type 3 (Live Your Truth), there's an hour in my head directing me.
wise beyond your young years my friend. . 59 and I'm learning from you .. God bless you. . oh and so enjoying learning a little Spanish ;) You are awesome . ..
Amen, by everyone else standards I am so far “behind” that there should be no hope but I like my life and I am doing what I can to give back and do for people what others can’t or won’t because they are not “behind”. We are not cattle, we don’t have to go with the herd haha
1. If people do this (in America) , they won't be so much away and distance from each other. Loneliness can be ended if they see each other with more similarities than differences. 2. People won't be in huge debt and always want more if they apply these principles.
October of 2022 my husband passed away from brain cancer. I married him when I was 19, we are married for going on 41 years. Having spent so much time nursing him taking him to doctor's appointments Etc it was my life for years. I just turned 60 years old also and now that he's gone I feel very lost. He was my other half. There's so much I have to figure out now from the financial to the emotional. Some days I'm just numb.😪
@@derrick8224 yes.. I waited until I was 58 years old to become a grandmother. My two-year-old grandson lives near me he definitely brings me a lot of joy.
❤ loved this video el Agustín XD. In my case I've been privileged, just felt shocked when mom passed away five yrs ago. Thanks 4 your videos, caballero.
Good day Mr. Austin Williams. Being 64, I know for sure is everybody is going through something. As well when all is said and done everybody is doing the best with what they know or what they don’t know.
Wow! So inspiring you are! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this and when you said, our mind is the most dangerous place of them all…SO TRUE! I’m gonna work on that and not letting negative thoughts take me on a rabbit trail. It’s way to easy to do and then you realize…where am I going? Positive inspiring music I’ll go to now :-) oh, I also had the same situation as you at age 13 and felt very alone, but your right we really are not and it’s also made me more adventurous as well. Have a great day 😊 and we always look forward to your videos!
I have 10.5 more years until I can retire with my full 25 year state government pension. I have two kids, a husband, a house, savings, an RV, and a dog. Plus I have my quasi-dream job. Yet, I feel lonely half the time!!!!! I wonder if I even have 3 true friends honestly. So there, I’m on time according to your scale in every way. But I’m not socially adept. Maybe an outward extrovert and covert introvert. Typical lawyer 🤦♀️ 😂
Always good Augustine 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌Quick sum up of My Story I had a crappy childhood biggest impact was being groomed as a 13 year old. It stole from my life majorly. Finally now at 40 am I understanding it all especially CPTSD and now getting. tools to change my brain and behaviours and choices. Thankfully I've never taken meds becos if the effect they had on my brother from the age of 16.NOW Working on creating a life of love 💜 even though my circumstances are pretty shitat the mo. The old me wouldn't even beable to face the world so Praise Jesus I'm already making breakthroughs. Arohanui Elle 🙏🙌💜😊😇
Regarding your list of How El Augustine Measure up, to me, it sounds like you're winning in like big time!! Great video. I really enjoy your videos and love your advice. Good day and God bless!
I think every one of your followers knows all this to be true, and yet we succumb to that voice in our heads. I know that we are all just trying to make it through life but I think differences in political views polarize us from each other and the big picture. And some traumatic stories are harder to climb through than others...
What's your story?
I love your second point. I am 32 and single, therefore I am incomplete...according to most of society....still struggle with what others say to but I'm happy and have no desire to change this status. I have found making decisions based on what others think you should is a key ingredient to not being content.
bought house later in life and never had kids
Thanks for this video❤
Health crash at 25. Fit For Life by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond brought me back to good health!!!
When I turned 60 yrs old in 2022, the reality that my time on earth is very limited hit me like a ton of bricks. The past 20 years flew by, and the next 20 years will as well. I retired in 2022 and have zero regrets. 💛✨️
Amen, my friend!
Everyday is precious. Not every life makes it past 5 days, 10 years, or 60 years.❤
So true, so glad you have no regrets. I know a 94 yr old who told me " i havent done anything with my life" which i felt sad for them

So true, “happiness is an inside job”. Following the norm/societies expectations is not being true to oneself. One size does not fit all.
This is excellent advice. Merci.

Lovely video. A simple message that can lift the weight of perceived obligations.
I think you are way ahead. Most people (kids) are groomed for slavery. When they hit 50 or 60 they realize they never really lived. Be true to yourself.
its true, having kids, mortgage, career are really ball and chain. you don't have to do these things to be happy.
@@dyztructive I guess what I meant was that from the time we are young we are groomed to be miserable and enslaved to debt.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge to RUclips. I listen to your videos since I discover your channel every morning at the office. Hope you will do a podcast in the near future. Thank you

I learn my flaws which is helping me to do what I love
thank you my friend for this uplifting monologue!
Whenever you ask my father in law how someone is, he always has the same answer. Indifferent stages of development. He never talks about anyone in a negative way he just says that. It make him a safe person to talk to because you know whatever you say goes no further.
Adults are just big kids acting like grown-ups, so the little kids don't get scared.
Your list of things to do. I want to do acting as a career, win awards, live forever, never retire, I do have my own condo.
I base my level by what I done. And I am very content. Less things you own better life is.
Goals don’t have time. You always fix the time etc.
People want socialism same tooth paste etc
Very well said about the mind is the most dangerous place in the world.
The storm is all correct. Good point to bring Austin!
Love your channel. Just fabulous. I’m a follower from the beginning

My story is my friend deserting me on a group trip at 16. I got very depressed and to make it worse arrived home to a disinterested uncaring mother. Decades later I'm still on my own.
Lol. I'm moving at my own pace. I just want a cup of coffee right now. The neighbors keep trying to copy us. I'm switching concrete blocks for bricks around my flower beds. The neighbor got excited. She wanted to give me more flowers. I said no. I have 5. She backed off. As a type 3 (Live Your Truth), there's an hour in my head directing me.
Austin, thank you for your inspiring videos. Really special. Muchas gracias! I am going to see them all....
I appreciate your humor so much. Thanks for making learning fun. 🙂
Well said!👍🔥👏😉 Keep up the good work!💪 One love from Barbados! 🇧🇧💫🇧🇧😎
wise beyond your young years my friend. . 59 and I'm learning from you .. God bless you. . oh and so enjoying learning a little Spanish ;) You are awesome . ..
You’re not behind, you’re doing life the smart way 👍 Don’t hurry anything, live by what works for you. ❤ this video! 🙂
Amen, by everyone else standards I am so far “behind” that there should be no hope but I like my life and I am doing what I can to give back and do for people what others can’t or won’t because they are not “behind”. We are not cattle, we don’t have to go with the herd haha
what is wrong with fluoride toothpaste?
1. If people do this (in America) , they won't be so much away and distance from each other. Loneliness can be ended if they see each other with more similarities than differences.
2. People won't be in huge debt and always want more if they apply these principles.
I see the narrow path, but my own path is even narrower.
Follow the narrow path. Wide is the gate to destruction.
October of 2022 my husband passed away from brain cancer. I married him when I was 19, we are married for going on 41 years. Having spent so much time nursing him taking him to doctor's appointments Etc it was my life for years. I just turned 60 years old also and now that he's gone I feel very lost. He was my other half. There's so much I have to figure out now from the financial to the emotional. Some days I'm just numb.😪
Sorry for the loss of your husband 😢
Thanks for sharing your story. I have found human Connection gets me through a lot in life
@@derrick8224 yes.. I waited until I was 58 years old to become a grandmother. My two-year-old grandson lives near me he definitely brings me a lot of joy.
@@kimfontaine7453 thank you
❤ loved this video el Agustín XD. In my case I've been privileged, just felt shocked when mom passed away five yrs ago. Thanks 4 your videos, caballero.
Good day Mr. Austin Williams. Being 64, I know for sure is everybody is going through something.
As well when all is said and done everybody is doing the best with what they know or what they don’t know.
Thanks, David!
Wonderful, thank you for the video 🙏🏻
25 to 27, that is so very true.
Wow! So inspiring you are! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this and when you said, our mind is the most dangerous place of them all…SO TRUE! I’m gonna work on that and not letting negative thoughts take me on a rabbit trail. It’s way to easy to do and then you realize…where am I going? Positive inspiring music I’ll go to now :-) oh, I also had the same situation as you at age 13 and felt very alone, but your right we really are not and it’s also made me more adventurous as well. Have a great day 😊 and we always look forward to your videos!
Another great reminder from you, thank you Austin😎👍
amazing video brother
What a great video! Thank you.
I have 10.5 more years until I can retire with my full 25 year state government pension. I have two kids, a husband, a house, savings, an RV, and a dog. Plus I have my quasi-dream job. Yet, I feel lonely half the time!!!!! I wonder if I even have 3 true friends honestly. So there, I’m on time according to your scale in every way. But I’m not socially adept. Maybe an outward extrovert and covert introvert. Typical lawyer 🤦♀️ 😂
Fantastic uplifting video...
Thank you!
Perfect video for me rn 🙏🏾
Thank you for your insights 🙏☺️
Always good Augustine 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌Quick sum up of My Story

Thankfully I've never taken meds becos if the effect they had on my brother from the age of 16.NOW Working on creating a life of love 💜 even though my circumstances are pretty shitat the mo.

Does being anxious about climate change alter the outcome in any way?
Step to your own beat Austin
Thank you for this. It's one of my favorite videos of yours so far.
Great video 🎉
Great stuff! Livestream for #100?
I think every one of your followers knows all this to be true, and yet we succumb to that voice in our heads. I know that we are all just trying to make it through life but I think differences in political views polarize us from each other and the big picture. And some traumatic stories are harder to climb through than others...
Yeah, sometimes you just need to hear things out loud.
Wow 😊
My trauma started at 5 yrs old
Okay, but some people are just better at trying to fit in. That's my problem.
