I turned 26 this year. I was so unhappy with the state of my life. I had a delay in my education, had no job and I started a farm at 25. The progress was slow but it was something I was proud of, later I got some money for expansion and things were looking up. Then a friend later ask me if I want to try out some work elsewhere. I didn't see why not. I hated the job (which had nothing to do with my study), and somehow, it felt like I was getting trapped being there, suffocating slowly. My toilet breaks were the only moments of peace I had while being there. I had an anxiety attack, I cried,... I feared that maybe I was just being weak, or a spoiled little prick who wants his own way. But I have chosen to believe in my business and end this job. I won't make that extra income but I won't be trembling in anxiety every morning, and depressed all day.
That's what life in the 24/7 cubicle circus of 9/5 does to you man. I felt the same at my most recent job, could only just last 5 months before I had to finish up. Feel so much better for getting out.
I think a lot of people came to that realization during COVID. They realized they were leading a life of quiet desperation. Many of these people realized they did not want to return to their jobs and started companies, started writing that novel, got back to their art, etc.
That’s what happened to me. I’d felt it for a long time but the last two years made me do something about it. Made me remember a quote from Jim Carey who said something along the lines of “you can fail at something you hate, so you might as well fail at something you love.”
I have no wife,no credit cards,no kids,no car payment,no wrinkles on my face and don't have a bunch of grey hairs,I like my job also. I'm 45 and feeling relieved 😌 I think all those things make people unhappy weather they admit it or not.
@Philosopher Dan Okay, thanks 👍 I probably could have been at that point had I not spent the past decade sitting in my childhood bedroom having depressive episodes.
Anyone who watches the Flintstones knows that it's the square peg that needs to be jammed into the round hole, not the other way around like Joe expressed.

Welp man, seems like you made it. I'm happy for you.
You could have all that or you could have kids and make a good or bad jump
That's great! What is your job?
A lot of truth in this.
The second guys idea of minimalist salary expectations are completely out of the reach of most people anyway...
Why does this video have under 1000 views?!?
It’s doesn’t blend very well with the overall agenda.
wtf are these salary numbers? even the "low" ones are rich af
@Philosopher Dan Okay, thanks 👍

Bruh why did you censor

What if Ive had to work since I was 14? Guess I gotta make a window.
Some of the clips you put together have contradictory messages. Not a great way to do a motivation compilation.
This video should have million of views but unfortunately society values more tik tok or those fucked up influencers like Karsahians
