  • This past year has been one of incredible change, self-discovery, and growth. I've faced new challenges, but with each one, I've come closer to realizing the life I truly want to live. From navigating daily struggles to learning the hard lessons that come with personal transformation, it's been a journey of embracing both the beauty and difficulty of growth.
    In this video, I’ll share how I’m building a new chapter-focused on independence, adventure, and creating a life that feels authentic to me. There’s still a long way to go, but I’m excited for the future and the opportunities that lie ahead.
    Join me as I reflect on the milestones, the setbacks, and the important realizations that have shaped this year. If you're on your own path of self-growth or seeking inspiration for your own journey, I hope this update encourages you to keep moving forward.
    Topics Covered:
    Overcoming challenges in daily life
    Personal growth and new realizations
    Building a meaningful and adventurous future
    The importance of persistence in learning and development

    Long time no see! Great to see a new video again Roy! Being yourself is always a good guideline in life.
    I feel the World that I felt I belong to ended about 15 years ago. This post-factual, anti-intellectual, post-enlightenment, divided, politically toxic World of dictators, billionaires and paid social media influencers doesn't work for me at all! I have almost nothing to offer to the World and the World thinks I deserve nothing in return. I try to make the best of the situation, but things get worse year by year.
    Don't blame yourself for all struggles in life. I feel it takes a super-human to overcome many struggles we have today. A lot of people feel the World is getting worse fast. I don't know how long we have before it all collapses. How long before we have a nuclear war between NATO and Russia+China? How long before democracy is dead everywhere? How long before climate change or AI destroys us? It is looking really bad, but I try to enjoy life while I can and I have learned to appreciate small good things in life (such as a sunny summer day or your videos) because there isn't anything else.

      There is nothing we can do to change the world that is more powerful than changing ourselves. In a hundred years people will be wishing they had been born a hundred years ago ... don't waste their wishes; go live the time you have to the fullest with what you have been given.

      Mutta vain itse voit tehdä itsesi onnelliseksi ja löytää sisäisen rauhan,
      sitä ei voi kukaan muu tehdä.
      Vaikka on yksin, se ei tarkoita sitä että on yksinäinen, sen on valinnut monet tarkoituksella.

    Hi! 🌼
    When you are middle-aged, you sometimes think about what you have experienced in life so far and what you would like to experience. I think life is for making dreams come true, big and small (if possible).
    Many times if you are alone for years without a relationship, you may also lose what you hope for in your future partner because no one seems suitable and you are tired of looking. You may also drift into a relationship with the wrong kind of person. But life is for learning. Maybe the people who come into your life are meant to teach you something...
    I think accepting the other is important in a relationship and listening to the other's dreams. Outer beauty/handsomeness changes with age, but inner beauty always remains. 🌼
    Lately I've been looking for information on how to identify a soulmate or twim flame...? Or what would it mean to me to feel at home with someone else? When they say that meeting the right person feels like coming home.

    • @RoyRissanen
      @RoyRissanen  15 часов назад

      Thank you, but I have not quite hit middle-age yet. ;) I tend to meet that "twin flame" energy about once every four years. the misery of it is that it is even rarer to find that the energy goes both ways.

    Very interesting. As somebody who's been through a lot of health issues past decade or so, I don't subsribe to the idea that what we go through somehow refines us as a person. I hate it when people say that it would be boring if everything went well all the time. I would definitely take the boring "average" life over the mostly misery that my life has been.

    Your thoughts on life and dreams are relatable to me. I grew up as a strict Christian girl, got married pretty young and had two kids. But me and my partner didn't really fit together at all and we ended up divorcing. Now I'm a divorcee mom of two teenagers, I live in a rental condo, don't own a car etc... many of my dreams didn't come true but I'm realizing maybe the cookie cutter life wasn't for me in the first place. After leaving the cult like church (I'm still a lutheran moderate christian though) I'm still finding out who I am as a person.

    Better to be alone than in a bad relationship or as we say parempi yksin kuin paskassa parisuhteessa.
    I divorced 2013 and i don´t have hurry to have a woman. I rather be alone than compromise anything that even might effect on my happines in a bad way. I almost found perfect woman for me at 2015 but things got compilicated and didn´t work out. Well she is still best thing that has happened to me and we still are friends. But that it didn´t work out as a relationship was more bitter than my divorce. I needed months of time to recover that.
    But it is hard after that kind of missed possibility when you´ll be always compairing her to other womans. And everytime you´ll notice that the new one isn´t even near what she was. But better to stay positive and move on. You´ll never know what the life is going to throw to you.
