      We're the same in terms of overthinking about doing simple tasks.

    The whole being ok with being average thing has been the hardest thing to come in terms with for me. As a "gifted child" I was used to being a pro at things, and has believed my whole life that I need to be the best at everything I do. And needless to say that made my life miserable, because it's not possible. And it's OK that you're not the best at everything you do. And I still need to remind my self that now and then.

    I feel that I can strongly relate to this. While live only one life when you could try so many things? Yes, this requires relinquishing perfectionism and accepting the fact that you may have no 'one single grand career' but I would rather treat my life as my own opus magnum and an experience treasure hunt! I have so far trained to be a broadway dancer, studied humanitarianism and work in the field as a humanitarian worker, switched to a hip PR agency in Paris and now I work in a big tech corporation!

    This is literally me. I freak out every time someone says that I have to choose a career to specialized in for the rest of my life. I can't imagine myself doing only one career in my life because I'm a very curious person and I wanted to try all the things that this world could offer. I wanted to try different things to satisfy my curiosity and I would freaking regret it If I don't. If I were to be at the end of my life I will regret not trying everything that I wanted in this life.

      Instead of choosing a career to specialize in, perhaps consider finding an *employer* that you can stay with for the long haul, even if the work itself isn't glamorous. Somewhere that offers a relatively stable work schedule that allows you to pay your bills and still gives you free time to pursue your interests. Bonus points if it doesn't require you to take out thousands in student loans for a worthless degree that you'll never actually use.

    I just had a conversation with my boyfriend about this, because I am struggling with choosing a "career" for myself.

It's okay to be average, and actually also a liberating thought.

    I relate so much Lana!! ❤️As a doctor, I'm happy being "average", as long my patients are safe and well taken care of. I got the highest grades throughout school, and I still have perfectionist and overachiever traits... But I just can't maintain that! I love music, making RUclips videos, graphic design, learning languages etc - I can enjoy these things in life without being an expert at them! Diversity is the spice of life, and I'm not "average" if I'm doing the things I enjoy to the level I enjoy them. So go forth, try out new things, don't worry about being good at them - life's too short for that!

  • @DrQuizzler

    There's this thing called "analysis paralysis", where we parse out our choices to the nth and never end up accomplishing anything. I think sometimes arriving at this point means we need to step back and take a breath, and other times it means we just need to pick something, and be ok with it possibly not being the perfect thing.

  • @lilredsolocup
    @lilredsolocup 2 года назад +30

    This is such an interesting perspective. Love the quote “You can do anything, but not everything”- reminds me of choice paralysis, we fear missing out on something if we make a choice but in actuality pursuing specific interests creates structure, which provides freedom from so many options. To your final point, knowing what you should choose is certainly the hard part when you don’t have any particular interests, it can also be the fun part in relation to exploration and curiosity as you mentioned in the beginning. Great video and content, I certainly appreciated the energy in this one!

  • @ryeofoatmeal
    @ryeofoatmeal 2 года назад +32

    'not trying to become an elite at everything is liberating somehow' damn... that is true and somewhat agree. at some point in life, i really wish I'm good at ONE thing but after a careful reminiscent, I think being /good/at everything is ok too. means you can enjoy variety of things. and i think that is awesome than just good at one thing you know. you really limit yourself of what you can or cannot do, so just try everything until you find /the one/

    I'm an infj and I miss being myself. I've been infected by dealing with so many narcissists in my life that I had to change my personality so many times to save myself and not just only that I've been through multiple mental breakdowns throughout the last few years. Watching you gives me the best feelings ever cuz I feel like I'm watching myself. You are a mirror of me. I'm working on recovering and I will get back to myself eventually. Weirdest feeling ever when you actually miss yourself, never knew that this existed till now. Wish you the bestest of luck in your life. And remember you actually made a difference in someone's life BIG time.

    Leonardo da Vinci is someone I really look up to as a 'universal man', someone with a wide array of knowledge and skills. I have autism, so I sometimes become completely obsessed with a certain topic and really dive into the rabbit hole head first. I want to learn about history and music and science and culture and so much more. And I know that I can never know or do everything. But as long as I continue learning and improving myself I think I'm doing okay.

Often I get petrified by the options when it comes to hobbies and I go in witht this mindset that it has to be perfect. But you're right, even if I bake one bread or go to one kickboxing class, at least I have experienced it!

    This video definitely hits home for me as I’ve always had this horrible perfectionist mindset where I must be “extraordinary” at everything. That’s a lot of pressure to put on yourself. I just ended up just being miserable for years. Accepting that my life will not be one of constant amazing achievements has actually lead to me enjoying life more. It’s actually a huge relief. Trying to be perfect all the time is exhausting. I’ll take average any day ❤️

Sure I can be good at a couple things or maybe 3 but not all and nobody actually can. Thankyou for celebrating avgness. Because sometimes avgness is the greatest virtue.

    I've been trying to explain this to people around me, and felt like I was never understood. So it feels really good to hear you. I have a HUUUGE list of skills I want to have but I'm never good enough at any of them.

    So many people try to be perfect at one thing (I used to be one of them), but there is something so liberating about trying out everything you wish and failing at some of it. It's like: yes, I definitely do not want to be a lawyer. But in the process you discover something that you genuinely like and with it learn a bit more about yourself. Trying out different things without any expectations is the best mindset change I've had in my life.

    Well, I personally try not to overthink anything. The odds of being born in the first place are extremely remote anyway, I'm just thankful for the opportunity to experience life in the first place; irrespective of how much time I may have

    Lana this is the actual biggest coincidence I've seen in a while. This is exactly the thought process I've found myself stuck in recently, and it feels like you're actually talking to me down to every detail. Literally, the book shown at 5:21 is my actual cultural psychology textbook and I read those exact pages just last week-- I'm shocked. Thank you for sharing your perspectives so honestly and in such a way that always makes me think

      @@oliviajune8599 “Cultural Psychology” by Steven J. Heine. It’s genuinely such an interesting read if you’re interested in the science of culture and how it influences things like behavior and moral development.

    I can relate so much to this, at 32 i still have the same problem, it's really hard to strike that balance, everytime you get one thing right something else falls, and then new things keep popping up all the time, can't stop exploring life i guess... but i think that's the challenge and the beauty of it. Love your channel btw, just came across it recently, lovely content :)

    Very relatable video Lana 😇 Thank you so much for putting something I really needed. I am also too curious and want to try different things, and it feels like I am interested in many things at one time. I was feeling something is wrong with me, but watching your video and knowing your views. I am feeling a relief, feels like found the answers of my questions. Keep Growing, lots of good wishes to you 👍😊

    Oh Lana, this is a thing even I struggle with! It's a constant dilemma. When you have the eye to see beauty in so many different lifestyles, professions and almost everything, it becomes a problem of choice. Which is also known as opportunity cost in economics- cost of next best alternative foregone. There is so much to do, so much, and time is so limited. I think we should take it as a sign to not waste even a single second of our lives on things like social media, worthless scrolling, or any thing for that matter. Lovely content, keep it coming.

    I have also always wanted to do it all and so ended up exhausting myself mentally. I agree prioritizing is most important and then just let go of the rest. And to relax and enjoy life day to day, what better thing could we do, but also do things well that we do choose. And some people like a lot of balance and others focusing on one passion at a time. I'm definitely the former. I'm glad you are finding peace with this situation!😊 I'm getting there, I guess it is a work in progress, maybe life long

    @Honorou 2 года назад +5

    I feel the same. In my opinion, the only thing worth mastering is myself. And I discover more about me when I explore all worlds that I'm interested in, not just one of them for my entire life. For others, it's the opposite, but what matters is to not be an expert because the world says so, but because you truly want it.

    Wow, I relate to this so much!
    I struggled since school what I'd like to become because I've been interested and good in a lot of the subjects, on the other hand that meant, that I never had an outstanding talent for anything that would tell me what job could be the best for me. So I started studying something that interested me in hope that I would find out what I want on the way, but until now it didn't happen. And seeing all the possiblities of what could be done with life or even just with a few free hours I have now and then just overwhelmes me sometimes. It feels like I have to use my time wisely and that sometimes stopes me from doing anything at all.
    So thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic! I hope one day I can find some kind of peace with it like you seem to have. :)

    I never comment on anything but I’m happy because I feel like no one or at least few people understand my thoughts and your channel makes me know that others think this way and go into depth about all these topics. Your channel and some others I’ve found have made me feel more human. I wish the internet was more full of the actual reality of being a person and each part to it, more raw feelings; thank you!

    For the past couple of days, I've been thinking about how I want to do so many things. I have also been like this my entire life. I want to experience a lot of things, but not necessarily be great at it all. You phrased that so well!!!
