i'm 22, graduated last year but still unemployed. last year was a hard one because i beat myself up for resting before finding a job. i still feel lost rn but i'm doing my best to pull myself together. this talk reminded me that it's okay to be lost but it's not okay to stay there. we have to make big changes and learn and unlearn things. nothing changes if nothing changes.
You’ll get there - keep going. Find hobbies you enjoy doing, try different jobs and focus on developing quality relationships with friends and family. All food for the soul! You won’t believe how far you’ve come when you’re in your 30’s and look back at your 20’s. Allow yourself to make mistakes too. Good luck!
I'm 22 _ just graduated _ dead scared of falling into the same phase _ lost and confused _ would never be giving up though _ GOOD LUCK _ let's find our paths together.
Hello everybody. I am 20 years old and from Ukraine. After what I heard in this video I want to cry. I feel that I live in another universe, because building of myself, thinking about the best years of life, thinking before going to sleep "Am I happy enough" - I always have samr answer - no. Because in Ukraine, the genocide of my people by the russians. Right now, I and my whole generation feel that our life is completely lost. Most of my generation aged 16-25 do not see the meaning of life at all. That week I attended the funerals of 2 of my acquaintances who were not even 30 yet. And this happens every month, every week, every day... I really want That such tedtoks would be relevant to me, but all I feel at the moment is envy of my peers from other countries who have opportunities that I do not have and will never have
I cant imagine what youre going through. I am so sorry . There arent enough words. But time has a huge power. Your life changed and it will change again. Stay strong. No bad thing last forever.
Мені так шкода, що ми це проживаємо і що росіяни крадуть у нас життя в усіх сенсах. Це жахливо, дуже сумно і неймовірно несправедливо. Будь ласка, бережіть себе.
Daily love and prayers will be sent to you and your people💚⭐️🤲 I’m sorry you have to live in time of war and violence, I’m telling you from my personal experience, your grief will end, you will find peace one day, no matter what the external situations are! 💕
I'm in my 20s and I decided to deactivate my Instagram at the age of 21. I heard this a lot that the habits of now are gonna affect the rest of my life. I didn't want mindless scrolling to be a part of the rest of my life, or even for a few years
I'm 28 and I commend you for doing this 💪 It is an addiction, a bad coping method. There are much better things to do with your time and energy. Good for you!! ❤
Escapism is often the root of our unfulfilling habits like mindless scrolling as you said, for me as a child it was the internet as a whole. Unlearn and relearn- and we will both stop this habit :) I like staying connected to the moment now, for once in a long while, when only going to my phone for necessities- might try out a nokia and tell you how it goes! Maybe some grounding techniques when you catch yourself in the moment.
When I was 20, I don't think we have many great resources like this TED talk here. Looking back on my own twenties, I can say that life has a way of teaching me many lessons, some easy, some hard. So when you come across those hard moments, please don't beat yourself up. It is very likely that you're facing that problem for the first time in your life, it is expected to feel very difficult. Just breathe and learn to grow from it. The fact that you're here to prepare for your twenties means you are light years and wiser from tiny me, don't give up!
Video Summary: The speaker discusses the lack of practical emotional and decision-making training for young people in their twenties and emphasizes the importance of developing these skills to lead a less stressful and more fulfilling life. She introduces three pillars: unlearning social conditioning, designing an authentic way of being, and taking action, to promote better emotional intelligence and self-guided growth. The goal is to empower young adults to make conscious choices and create a successful life aligned with their core values. - 00:00 The lack of practical emotional and decision-making training for young people in their twenties - 02:58 The decisions and habits we form in our 20s have a significant impact on our future. - 05:57 The speaker discusses the struggles faced by teens and 20-somethings, emphasizing the need for better emotional and decision-making skills. - 08:56 Living in alignment means aligning your core priorities, actions, and thoughts with your deepest core values, leading to a blissful and fulfilling life. - 11:56 The speaker talks about the importance of intentional growth and why we put forth the effort. - 14:56 Making bold changes in our lives can be scary, but if it feels right, it can bring more peace than chaos.
I just turned 30. I'm proud of my twenties. I didn't achieve all my goals, certainly am nowhere near successful by societal standards, and deal with a lot of depression and social anxiety issues. But I learned so much about myself and life and have always been "personal growth" and spiritually oriented (pagan and Buddhist). I was suffering and realized no one around me was going to help me/knew about emotional intelligence work, so I went searching (and still am) for my own answers. I'm so far from where I want to be but I've come a long way and honor my process. Self compassion, curiousity, and mindfulness have been my best tools, along with some therapy to help validate my experiences and realize my core values.
Look into something called the VIA survey too for anyone reading- it helps narrow down your strengths, weaknesses, and overall values, and gives suggestions for daily actions that align with said values.
Just turned 34.. I’m glad I’m not alone. Well wishes on your journey through life. 🙏🏾❤️ at a few years older, my advice is to stay in tune and true to yourself. I have faith you’ll be okay ❤
At 22, this REALLY resonates with me. The more work you put into yourself in your youth, the better off you will be for the rest of your life. Such an amazing talk! Y’all should check out her book- The Sooner You Know, The Better! Read this recently and she goes into more detail with these concepts with great humor. Highly recommend!!
Yep, this is true. If you don't, you become a thrity-something nobody, and you really don't want that. So finish school, take a year to really think your future and only then go to college and pursue a degree. Well, unless you already know what you want, then you are one of the lucky few.
@@_rd_kocaman You know what, I agree. I am WEAK. I have so much FEAR. I overthink a lot. And it’s very frustrating. But also, if you made this comment with me a year ago, I would have commented a paragraph of hate against you. Today, I’m just happy I’m not in DENIAL anymore. That there’s a lot of aspects in me that needs improvement and I can’t wait to become more courageous! Thank you so much for pointing this out.
21, Indian. The title itself was an attention catcher. I graduated this year, and trust me this is the most difficult, confusing, stressed, anxious, and struggling phase of my life. It feels comforting to hear that so many of us are sailing in the same boat. also, I believe this is the only time when we are not running in autopilot mode and are finally getting the chance to think about ourselves, our values, our belief systems, and who we really are. during this phase, I have realized that it is essential for me to spend time with myself and reflect on these questions. stay distant from voices that fade these voices inside of me and continue to REFLECT, REFLECT, AND REFLECT.
Just turned 23, I feel so lost. I used to take edibles daily, play video games all the time, and scroll on my phone for hours on end. I'm in masters for engineering, but I cant pay attention in class, I struggle to make connections, people bore me to the point of pain. It turns out, I was overdosing on dopamine, numbing my reality. Today is the first day I'm sober. Went for a run. Read a paper. Did a homework assignment. It was difficult, but I'm proud of my baby steps in the right direction. I want to build habits of reading, writing, running, meditating, and singing. No more will I indulge these cheap highs.
I am 25. Struggling with choices and doubting whether my actions are correct. By doing efforts of aligning “myself” with the society, I have struggled with self doubts. Probably it’s the best video I watched. ❤
Adulting was always my biggest wish. Making choices on your own and not always being dependant on your parents is a really great thing, but it is scary how the time passes and you kind of feel like not living at all and every day is the same. Comparison is also a thing I started to struggle with as I grew older. Realising how unfair life is. This video made me realise that I am not alone and thing eventually will figure. I hope that someday my work will pay off.
Speaking about bold changes and their parallels with skydiving in a metaphorical sense really resonated with me. Especially when mentioning how it's the people that have never jumped are the ones speaking against it the most. There's a quote this aligns with: Those who were born in a cage think flying is an illness. I realized this is how some people in my life are, and because they thought flying was an illness, it made me hesitant to fly. But just because they're in a cage doesn't mean I have to be. It's a freeing feeling, and I'm still working towards it. I really enjoyed your tedx talk.
"life-changing, life-saving, society-changing skills" that line is powerful and 100% true when it comes to emotional development. This is such an important conversation and you share it so beautifully! Everyone needs to watch this! I'm 23 and this definitely resonated with me from so many different angles. Thank you!
“We must take radical responsibility as soon as possible as this is where joy & fulfilment are born.” Such an important talk for all young people to hear…thank you for sharing your profound wisdom Livi💖
There's a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. It's not just a bunch of empty promises; it's the real deal.
I just turned 32, and I have been in weekly therapy sessions for 5 years to try to unlearn so many "ways of dealing with life," and rebuild the foundation. There was so much pressure before to conform to take care of everyone else first, earn well, and constantly be busy. Thank you for sharing about "Living in alignment." The truth right there!
I just turned 28 and you cannot imagine how much your comment means to me -I feel so behind and lost, already frustrates to not started before to live aligned to myself instead of society and parents expectations. Seeing how far you came, all that hard work you have been putting, makes me feel hopeful and a bit less alone.
It is 2:35 after midnight, and I’m sitting alone questioning my quarter life crisis,being lost and sad , knowing that 20’s are my hardest part of life , and i need to survive it And this talk came in my way It’s so helpful and the concept is soothing and supportive Like a friend that telling you : it is okay , you are on the right track ❤❤❤
I feel like the speaker was reading my life currently. I m 25 years living in Kenya . Recently I made bold decision of resigning the job because I was feeling that I wasn't adding value to my life but was more money driven. But having listen to the speaker words I feel like I made the right decision for my future. Once again thank you
This video was really inspiring to me. I am 21 years old and consider myself to be very successful and on top of all aspects of my health. I have reaped the benefits of working hard to become who I am today. But recently I have been fairly unmotivated and sitting in the back seat. This video has inspired me to try and start an "alignment growth journal." I'm hoping that with at least 4 entries per week, that I can begin to realign my values and actions. "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." I have definitely been feeling the repercussions of falling to my systems. I would be terrified to learn that I would live the rest of my life like I have the past 3 months if I was to be hardwired today. So with becoming hardwired on the horizon, I will work super hard to act and think the way I want to do so for the rest of my life.
@@ian_panganiban I had failed to commit this to habit and haven't started any journaling :( But I did just buy a guided journal today so I am hoping that helps begin the journey. Good luck on your process!
I am a sophomore in High-school. Yesterday i wrote an essay regarding schools providing classes for mental stability and support. Following this video i am so grateful that i wrote that essay and overall provided good facts and information exactly like what was given in this video.
Well, just take a note here for myself. In conclusion, she metioned three important pillars: unlearning, being and doing. Unlearning is kind of unlearning what the society had taught you all your life, learn to hear how your heart truly says, constantly reflects yourself. Being is being your true self, ignoring what other people say about how you should “build your house”. Instead of that, start building it in your own way. You’ll feel the most comfortable in the house you made for yourself. Lastly, doing. You must take the action, even if it is the most scary thing to do. People tend to afraid of the bold changes, cus it’s unpredictable. But actually, if you do it right, it will bring more peace than chaos. Reread all this and find out, the word repeated the most is “yourself”, make sense, cus only if you see through yourself, you find the peace in your soul. And that’s what matter the most.
She said, build a house as society has said, then due to leakage you will find there is something mistake and then you build it by own. This is a different thing
I’m 21 from Nigeria 🇳🇬 where it’s almost impossible to get things straight at a young age .I’m glad I just watched this 💯 …… one Tedtalk a day will take you to a different dimension ❤
Same here in Colombia. I'm twenty and next year I'ma about to graduate. I don't even know what to do with my life but we should just keep faith in our future and try to make a good live
Thank you so much Livi! I’m 20 years old and have spent the last year working on unlearning generational trauma, accepting and loving my authentic self, and living in alignment!! This video is like a giant thumbs up from the universe saying YOU ARE ON THE PATH YOU WERE MEANT TO BE! KEEP GOING!!
Livi Redden's TEDx talk on intentional emotional development for young adults struck a chord with me, especially as I approach my twenties this year. The idea that mindset shifts and emotional development can alleviate the confusion and anxiety associated with major life decisions resonated deeply. Redden's insights into steering one's life through mindfulness and accountability provided a refreshing perspective on navigating the challenges of this pivotal phase. Her emphasis on proactively shaping our emotional well-being to create a joyful and fulfilling future was both empowering and reassuring. As I reflect on her talk, I realize the importance of incorporating intentional emotional growth into my own journey. Redden's guidance encourages a more purposeful approach to decisions related to education, career, relationships, and personal development. This talk has inspired me to embrace emotional intelligence as a tool for building resilience and steering my life towards a future that aligns with my values and brings genuine fulfillment.
Honestly, I have no idea about how life has been miserable due to misunderstanding from classmates, financial stability, the worries about future and career as well. I suppose I have been focusing so much on something I cant control like overthinking rather than focusing on myself. Thanks to video for reminding and giving guideline for personal growth.
everyone has areas where they are ahead of their peers and areas where they fall behind. Nobody is perfect. Change takes time. I wish i would recall that more often
I am turning 21 in less than ten days and graduate college in less than 6 months. This video came as a sort of life saver to me and am I the only one who is tearing up by the end of this ? So glad I came across this
Shoutout to Livi! I am so grateful for this video. It affirmed to me that all the work that I've done and the work that I continue to do, to live my life and my being as the most authentic version of myself, is the best thing that I can do for myself. I was feeling a bit lost and being lost is okay. I'm re-aligning with my path and what I want to explore in this life, and that's more than okay! As long as I'm being honest with what I want and who I am and am trying my best and giving myself grace, then I'm on the right path 🫶🏽
Couldn't stop holding my tears as i realised how much your talk resonates with me. The outburst came the moment you said 'Unlearning'. Thank you so much! ❤❤❤❤
24 years old,in Final Year of Medical school,excited yet afraid to step into practical world soon,I think I needed this video the most.The message resonated with me as I'm sure with all others in 20s.Our lives literally are roller coaster rides in our 20s and reminders and messages like these can change one's perspective and approach towards life.Thank you.
Your voice is as soothing as your words. As a 20 years old girl, clinically depressed and struggling with sleep, with no friends and uncertain future, I totally agree with you. ❤
Such an inspiring talk. Looking back on my twenties, I wasn't able to make good decisions in life. But upon hearing this, I'm more eager to share this to young adults.
Im 17 years old this podcast has really help and changed the way I think .I've realized there's more to life than just waking up everyday and doing the same things everyday this was really helpful and I enjoyed it
I am 21, soon turning 22 and I really took so many decisions in my college life to change my life it really worked, like I did acting to increase my confidence, i did dancing, singing, modelling, sports, and bodybuilding. i enjoyed my journey , but I still regret not making right decisions at the right time, after watching you I will work more on myself and I will definiately become more self-confident
I felt conditioned that going to University would solve all my problems I had internally. Because Adult’s say “You will figure it out. Just go to University.” When in reality, it was learning mindfulness, stress training, mental health awareness. Because, now I’m ill. I just want to be happy but I’m crumbling under the high-pressure. To me, happy and successful is being at peace. I hope I find this! ❤
"life-changing,life-saving,society-changing skills" that line is powerful and100% true when it come to emotional development.This is such an important conversation and you share it si beautifully! Everyone needs to watch this! I'm 21 and this definitely resonated with me from so many from so many different angles. Thank you!
I actually navigated through these comments looking for this type of comment of which i relate to, and knowing this information now overwhelms me. I'm thinking i should've known better earlier😅
Completely relate to this! We haven’t found time to find ourselves due to being numbed out by education and pressure! I am from the U.K. and here it breaks so many people university and college 💖
Algorithm getting to good I’ve been pondering what is success and I stopped the video when she was defining it (about ~10:34) to stop and think. And I’m frustrated that her answer makes so much sense because I feel like pleasure of finding out has been ripped from me but also so grateful to have the answer. Of course approaching with skepticism has I’m sure the lives of you my fellow reader may be radically more different than mine. So continue watching at the risk of your own becoming…
Thank you algorithm, I needed to hear these words! Last year I am living in chaos, as you said constantly in war with my mind. This video helped me a lot.
When she said align with your true core values it all added up. Instantly my brain new what they were, the whole mix(finances, relationships,health,spirit, mentality) so thats what I am going to do. I'll take steps each and everyday to better myself in this regard. The confusion for me came when u are looking at everyone else and it confuses you on whether what you are doing is right or not. This has reminded me to stay true to myself, and also not to be so naive to push onto the future by saying oh well I'll find a wife later in life, what's stopping mw from taking active steps now even if it is uncomfortable in the moment. Thats what life is about, moving towards your goals with hope and certainly that with the work and effort you put in you will eventually become who you have always wanted to be.
”The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.“ John 10:10 The answer can’t be personal fulfillment because we will always fail one way or another. I lived this life that she talks about - but personal alignment and emotional/mental health could only get me so far. I was always striving and never arriving at the life or person I wanted to be. Jesus is the only one who can truly satisfy our souls, give us rest, and save us from the destruction around us and within us.
All that was said in this video, I'm questioning none of it. I felt as good listening to it as any of the others that did. However, there is one nuance that my tiny head isn't able to wrap. I can align myself to my core beliefs, I can be the person that I want and envision to be, and I can do what genuinely serves me right. I can quite that job, and I can take the risks I've always wanted to take. But I won't be the only one living with those consequences, right? Like it or not, most of us are a part of a larger whole. The whole maybe our families, or the group of friends we surround ourselves with, or the larger society around us. People who depend on us, people on who we depend for affection, validation, etc. How do I navigate that conundrum? How do I please myself, and please the ones that genuinely matter to me? How do I take risks knowing that if they blow up on my face, I just might never recover? Even worse, these blow ups will take collaterals, the people whose happiness matters the most to me! How do I navigate this? Genuinely asking a question that plagues my every day. Thank you for any responses!
After hearing this message I can feel that I have the urge to change my life. I have been relaxed for sometime now and after hearing this I can see that I have been my own enemy. It's about time I make bold decision and get to work on them. Thank you for such fulfilling and powerful message 😮😢❤
Thank you for sharing with us, recently I had been struggle with my life decision, whether did I pick a right job or i dont have enough money so I force to work. My life decision seems like always money and money. This video had motivate me a lot that I need to align myself with own values not other people values, my own happiness is the most important things that I need. Really appreciate that !!!!
Thank you for the topic In my 20s,I have been facing problems such as educational and financial,It’s not easy to give up on my graduation to chose the way to find money.Start from now I will not wasting my time by finding money.I will try to grow up more in my 20s and let follow the money with my skills
The way Hidden Time Wealth dives into the concept of productivity is mind-blowing. Hidden Time Wealth tips are pure gold, and I wish more people knew about them.
I’m late in my 20s and struggled with being a 1st gen American in a rural town. This advice resonates so much despite her not being an immigrant amazingly! Be true to yourself and make the bold moves and seek for yourself without steering from anyone. You are in control of your mind and no one will switch places with you when times get rough. May peace be upon you all!
I'm in my early thirties, and my twenties were horrendous to start with and eventually ended up to be better. I honestly don't regret the recklessness in my twenties, I personally believe that it was required to make me a better person, a calmer individual and a bit more rational. Don't stress about your twenties, enjoy it and make mistakes. Just be sure that you learn from your mistakes. Yes, 20's can have a significant impact on your life, I don't deny that at all. Learn empathy and think before you hurt someone, sometimes it can be irreversible. Also, please lock your phone away and enjoy your life with your friends and family; and please do take care of your health. Do make bold changes! Best of luck everyone.
Very well spoken and great stage presence, I’m 23 in a few weeks and have been in this exact mindset since I turned 20. Even did the skydiving thing whilst never stepping foot on an airplane before. I think this is something that needs to be shared with our youth while they still have a chance ✨
As someone who also lost their dad to ALS at a really young age, this video resonated with me in many different aspects. As a college student majoring in psychology, with hopes to one day become a therapist, I found this video very insightful and eye opening.
Im 25 and currently torn with life school work balance. I feel left out with some people my age bc they seem not to care and just want to enjoy life. Thank you for this video.
Just lost my job at 23 and am planning to change my career. Thank you so much for the videos. It made me believe that the risks I'm taking rn are worth fighting for :)
Thanks for sharing this video. I'm 23 and Mexican, living a pretty normal life in my 20s. I find myself constantly debating whether I want the same things as others - a house, a car, money. I can't stop thinking about whether these are things I truly want or if it's just what society has taught us to want. It's time to break this generational pattern, be free, and just live. Let's enjoy our lives and stop trying to satisfy everyone except ourselves... Just a thought.
We have a saying in my country “bersusah-susah dahulu, bersenang-senang kemudian” which directly translates into “hard-hard at first, easy-easy later”… I always remind myself of this quote whenever I need to sacrifice the fun moments for the sake of my future because deep down, I know I'll be able to achieve what I wanted if I worked hard enough for it.
Hidden Time Wealth is so unique. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it sooner. It’s amazing how life-changing this can be for anyone battling procrastination.
Being , 23, my only fear is becoming a failure , and being told ,'you had so much potential, you ruined it'. So, I started working on my skills. I just completed my masters' , so I am looking for employment, but seeing others living the dream life of mine does hurt. So, I stopped following them and started to skill up myself, and be a person who can actually contribute to the industry, something, that I am interested and passionate about, I made a roadmap, how, when, and where. I am going to take time blocking the outer words, sushing my inner insecurity, finding strength, so that I could make a better version. The thing is I am my own competition. So, let's see after 10 years when I am 35, I don't have any regrets.
17:48 The sooner you grow, the better. ❤ This is also true for "a feeling of being constantly at war with their minds." This insight really helped me! Thank you, Livi mam.
hey, I'm 18, and lately, I've held myself back and just really been stuck living with the constant fear of what will happen in my 20s there is a lot more I wish to do than follow the laid-out path and the environment that is supposed to make me "more settled in the future". I wish to understand my core more, I wish to understand feelings and emotions. To me, right now at least that is what I consider 'rich'. I could relate so hard to " a feeling of constantly being at war with our minds". I know for a fact that the war has to end for me to be able to bring about change, change in myself and change in the way young minds think, change in the way parents think. After listening to this I feel like it can happen and it has made me a lot more informed. Livi, it's beautiful what you do. I admire your work.
I'm so glad this resonated! It's funny how much we feel pressure to DO in our 20s but rarely are reminded or taught the skills to look inward at what that doing might look like in a way that provides lasting peace. Rooting for you my dear!
love you Livi Redden, I truly gain some insightful lesson from you. I reflect back on your each motto behind what you are saying. Its took nearly around 40 minutes to relearn myself and aligning my action to the my core values.
This is so wise and it has hit me ...we should follow our intuition and listen to our inner voice .... the goal is to be happy not to be successful at least that is what my voice is telling me
just 24th old girl, who sitting in her room watch this video on tuesday while people in my age start doing their own job. Currently i quite for my second job since graduate from my collage without consider what will happening when i'm unemployee, just impulsive decision i though. I ty figure out what i desire for my live that impact to my future, but sill unsolve.
I’m about to turn 18 years old in a month, and I’m absolutely grateful for convincing myself to watch this. I still have so much to learn about life and this video taught me so many things I have to know about before my 20’s . As a 17 yo kid right now I’m very afraid of making wrong decision of my life. im worried about my future what if I made the wrong choice. I don’t even know what is right for me I don’t know if the decision I made was right or not. But after I’ve watched this video all I know is I gotta work hard. Stop thinking worrying about everything in my life and start to doing it right now whatever I wanted to do. And I’m absolutely agreed with the advice that many adults tell us that “you still have time, don’t worry about it” is the worst advice ever for me. The worst thing u can think of is that you have time.
I'm also 17 years old having a hard time since I only have 1 year left before college and I don't know what course I should take, because I don't have a dream job, I just wanna make money 😭
Absolutely insane. I alway listen to ted talks or podcasts on the stair-master. I opened up youtube and scrolled, my usual genre of videos not catching my eye and I for some reason click on this video. It’s April 26th, 2024 and I’m 20 years old and listening to this at the gym all by pure coincidence.
I would say one of the worst problems is this enormous pressure to achieve everything as fast as possible. It’s insanity. An entire worldwide society making children burn out into early graves to achieve a personal future that may never come. Maybe we aren’t supposed to be out authentic selves or achieve self mastery or have all the answers because... we are still kids. Great TED Talk pointed out its society’s obligation to give mediocre people a chance to achieve, not to grind high performing youth into dust.
I know I am not living in alignment with my values but unfortunately I won’t be able in order to make a decent living. I want to go study but I can’t afford it while living out of home, the cost of living is simply too high for me to do something I genuinely enjoy. That’s the scary thing about being in your 20s right now, it seems like the world is slowly getting more and more unbearable. There’s so much hate and anger in the world and I count myself lucky to even have what I do right now, it’s all very overwhelming
i'm 22, graduated last year but still unemployed. last year was a hard one because i beat myself up for resting before finding a job. i still feel lost rn but i'm doing my best to pull myself together. this talk reminded me that it's okay to be lost but it's not okay to stay there. we have to make big changes and learn and unlearn things. nothing changes if nothing changes.
You’ll get there - keep going. Find hobbies you enjoy doing, try different jobs and focus on developing quality relationships with friends and family. All food for the soul! You won’t believe how far you’ve come when you’re in your 30’s and look back at your 20’s. Allow yourself to make mistakes too. Good luck!
@@Lowrisun wow. thank you SO MUCH for this. i hope and wish you the best as well 🥹🤍
I'm 26 unemployed. Let's both make positive changes :)
@@lock_checker4342 we're gonna get through this! sending love 🤍
I'm 22 _ just graduated _ dead scared of falling into the same phase _ lost and confused _ would never be giving up though _ GOOD LUCK _ let's find our paths together.
Hello everybody. I am 20 years old and from Ukraine. After what I heard in this video I want to cry. I feel that I live in another universe, because building of myself, thinking about the best years of life, thinking before going to sleep "Am I happy enough" - I always have samr answer - no. Because in Ukraine, the genocide of my people by the russians. Right now, I and my whole generation feel that our life is completely lost. Most of my generation aged 16-25 do not see the meaning of life at all. That week I attended the funerals of 2 of my acquaintances who were not even 30 yet. And this happens every month, every week, every day... I really want That such tedtoks would be relevant to me, but all I feel at the moment is envy of my peers from other countries who have opportunities that I do not have and will never have
I cant imagine what youre going through. I am so sorry . There arent enough words. But time has a huge power. Your life changed and it will change again. Stay strong. No bad thing last forever.
sorry to hear that man :( how are you doing today
Please hope for the best always in prayers❤❤
Мені так шкода, що ми це проживаємо і що росіяни крадуть у нас життя в усіх сенсах. Це жахливо, дуже сумно і неймовірно несправедливо. Будь ласка, бережіть себе.
Daily love and prayers will be sent to you and your people💚⭐️🤲 I’m sorry you have to live in time of war and violence, I’m telling you from my personal experience, your grief will end, you will find peace one day, no matter what the external situations are! 💕
I'm in my 20s and I decided to deactivate my Instagram at the age of 21. I heard this a lot that the habits of now are gonna affect the rest of my life. I didn't want mindless scrolling to be a part of the rest of my life, or even for a few years
I'm 28 and I commend you for doing this 💪 It is an addiction, a bad coping method. There are much better things to do with your time and energy. Good for you!! ❤
Escapism is often the root of our unfulfilling habits like mindless scrolling as you said, for me as a child it was the internet as a whole. Unlearn and relearn- and we will both stop this habit :) I like staying connected to the moment now, for once in a long while, when only going to my phone for necessities- might try out a nokia and tell you how it goes! Maybe some grounding techniques when you catch yourself in the moment.
When I was 20, I don't think we have many great resources like this TED talk here. Looking back on my own twenties, I can say that life has a way of teaching me many lessons, some easy, some hard. So when you come across those hard moments, please don't beat yourself up. It is very likely that you're facing that problem for the first time in your life, it is expected to feel very difficult. Just breathe and learn to grow from it. The fact that you're here to prepare for your twenties means you are light years and wiser from tiny me, don't give up!
Thank you.

I just turned 30. I'm proud of my twenties. I didn't achieve all my goals, certainly am nowhere near successful by societal standards, and deal with a lot of depression and social anxiety issues. But I learned so much about myself and life and have always been "personal growth" and spiritually oriented (pagan and Buddhist). I was suffering and realized no one around me was going to help me/knew about emotional intelligence work, so I went searching (and still am) for my own answers. I'm so far from where I want to be but I've come a long way and honor my process. Self compassion, curiousity, and mindfulness have been my best tools, along with some therapy to help validate my experiences and realize my core values.
Look into something called the VIA survey too for anyone reading- it helps narrow down your strengths, weaknesses, and overall values, and gives suggestions for daily actions that align with said values.
@zila626 I'm glad to hear this, you seem like you are on a good path forward, take care and I wish you a peaceful life /jack from Sweden
You can make it, i hope you get it someday.
This is your journey. If no one ever told you: You're doing great. You own this! Keep it up! 😊
Just turned 34.. I’m glad I’m not alone. Well wishes on your journey through life. 🙏🏾❤️ at a few years older, my advice is to stay in tune and true to yourself. I have faith you’ll be okay ❤
At 22, this REALLY resonates with me. The more work you put into yourself in your youth, the better off you will be for the rest of your life. Such an amazing talk! Y’all should check out her book- The Sooner You Know, The Better! Read this recently and she goes into more detail with these concepts with great humor. Highly recommend!!
Thank you so much, I'll check it out now.
Thank you for sharing, will check it out
Yep, this is true. If you don't, you become a thrity-something nobody, and you really don't want that. So finish school, take a year to really think your future and only then go to college and pursue a degree. Well, unless you already know what you want, then you are one of the lucky few.
Where is the book?
Thank you.

@@_rd_kocaman You know what, I agree. I am WEAK. I have so much FEAR. I overthink a lot. And it’s very frustrating.
But also, if you made this comment with me a year ago, I would have commented a paragraph of hate against you.
Today, I’m just happy I’m not in DENIAL anymore.
That there’s a lot of aspects in me that needs improvement and I can’t wait to become more courageous!
Thank you so much for pointing this out.
@@restythenurse that's what's up. pain is the feeling of weakness leaving your body

21, Indian. The title itself was an attention catcher. I graduated this year, and trust me this is the most difficult, confusing, stressed, anxious, and struggling phase of my life. It feels comforting to hear that so many of us are sailing in the same boat. also, I believe this is the only time when we are not running in autopilot mode and are finally getting the chance to think about ourselves, our values, our belief systems, and who we really are. during this phase, I have realized that it is essential for me to spend time with myself and reflect on these questions. stay distant from voices that fade these voices inside of me and continue to REFLECT, REFLECT, AND REFLECT.
I can feel you. Truly.
Bihari here i can feel you

Just turned 23, I feel so lost. I used to take edibles daily, play video games all the time, and scroll on my phone for hours on end.
I'm in masters for engineering, but I cant pay attention in class, I struggle to make connections, people bore me to the point of pain.
It turns out, I was overdosing on dopamine, numbing my reality.
Today is the first day I'm sober. Went for a run. Read a paper. Did a homework assignment. It was difficult, but I'm proud of my baby steps in the right direction.
I want to build habits of reading, writing, running, meditating, and singing. No more will I indulge these cheap highs.
This is an important message. Stay consistent and it will get less and less difficult!
You’re doing amazing !! I’m happy for you 😃🫶🏾
Proud of you! Sending love :)
Suggest you book, Atomic habits
@jacemeneze6155 same i swear, working on dopamine detox these days and it's so difficult
I am 25. Struggling with choices and doubting whether my actions are correct. By doing efforts of aligning “myself” with the society, I have struggled with self doubts. Probably it’s the best video I watched. ❤
same here..
same here😢
Hope we find contentment in ourselves soon ❤️
Same
same, hits hard
Adulting was always my biggest wish. Making choices on your own and not always being dependant on your parents is a really great thing, but it is scary how the time passes and you kind of feel like not living at all and every day is the same. Comparison is also a thing I started to struggle with as I grew older. Realising how unfair life is. This video made me realise that I am not alone and thing eventually will figure. I hope that someday my work will pay off.
Someday it will pay off, hope that you're in a better space and things have been working out well for you❤
better that than adultering
Speaking about bold changes and their parallels with skydiving in a metaphorical sense really resonated with me. Especially when mentioning how it's the people that have never jumped are the ones speaking against it the most. There's a quote this aligns with: Those who were born in a cage think flying is an illness. I realized this is how some people in my life are, and because they thought flying was an illness, it made me hesitant to fly. But just because they're in a cage doesn't mean I have to be. It's a freeing feeling, and I'm still working towards it. I really enjoyed your tedx talk.
3 Pillars:
1. Unlearning
2. Being
3. Doing
"Start being intuitive and intentional as soon as possible."
Thank you for the summary!
"life-changing, life-saving, society-changing skills" that line is powerful and 100% true when it comes to emotional development. This is such an important conversation and you share it so beautifully! Everyone needs to watch this! I'm 23 and this definitely resonated with me from so many different angles. Thank you!
same here, I'm 23 too kk and I'm agree with u
Hi, I hope you would read my text and as a human beings plz... answer of my text.
You are love of my life.
“We must take radical responsibility as soon as possible as this is where joy & fulfilment are born.” Such an important talk for all young people to hear…thank you for sharing your profound wisdom Livi💖
Radical responsibility
There's a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. It's not just a bunch of empty promises; it's the real deal.
You’re a bot. Posted this same comment with similar number of likes on almost all the Ted videos. RUclips has to ban this
I’m 24 and these concepts have been heavily on my mind very often these days. I found this video at the right moment.
I just turned 32, and I have been in weekly therapy sessions for 5 years to try to unlearn so many "ways of dealing with life," and rebuild the foundation. There was so much pressure before to conform to take care of everyone else first, earn well, and constantly be busy. Thank you for sharing about "Living in alignment." The truth right there!
This is amazing, good for you👏👏
I just turned 28 and you cannot imagine how much your comment means to me -I feel so behind and lost, already frustrates to not started before to live aligned to myself instead of society and parents expectations. Seeing how far you came, all that hard work you have been putting, makes me feel hopeful and a bit less alone.
It is 2:35 after midnight, and I’m sitting alone questioning my quarter life crisis,being lost and sad , knowing that 20’s are my hardest part of life , and i need to survive it
And this talk came in my way
It’s so helpful and the concept is soothing and supportive
Like a friend that telling you : it is okay , you are on the right track
❤❤❤
sending you so much love
I feel like the speaker was reading my life currently. I m 25 years living in Kenya . Recently I made bold decision of resigning the job because I was feeling that I wasn't adding value to my life but was more money driven. But having listen to the speaker words I feel like I made the right decision for my future. Once again thank you

This video was really inspiring to me. I am 21 years old and consider myself to be very successful and on top of all aspects of my health. I have reaped the benefits of working hard to become who I am today. But recently I have been fairly unmotivated and sitting in the back seat. This video has inspired me to try and start an "alignment growth journal." I'm hoping that with at least 4 entries per week, that I can begin to realign my values and actions. "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." I have definitely been feeling the repercussions of falling to my systems. I would be terrified to learn that I would live the rest of my life like I have the past 3 months if I was to be hardwired today. So with becoming hardwired on the horizon, I will work super hard to act and think the way I want to do so for the rest of my life.
I been feeling the same way as of late- thank u for these words this is smart to do !
@@ian_panganiban I had failed to commit this to habit and haven't started any journaling :( But I did just buy a guided journal today so I am hoping that helps begin the journey. Good luck on your process!
The amount of people I've been sharing this video with, is mad. I saved it and downloaded it. I'm 20 so honestly perfect timing.
I am a sophomore in High-school. Yesterday i wrote an essay regarding schools providing classes for mental stability and support. Following this video i am so grateful that i wrote that essay and overall provided good facts and information exactly like what was given in this video.
Well, just take a note here for myself.
In conclusion, she metioned three important pillars: unlearning, being and doing.
Unlearning is kind of unlearning what the society had taught you all your life, learn to hear how your heart truly says, constantly reflects yourself.
Being is being your true self, ignoring what other people say about how you should “build your house”. Instead of that, start building it in your own way. You’ll feel the most comfortable in the house you made for yourself.
Lastly, doing. You must take the action, even if it is the most scary thing to do. People tend to afraid of the bold changes, cus it’s unpredictable. But actually, if you do it right, it will bring more peace than chaos.
Reread all this and find out, the word repeated the most is “yourself”, make sense, cus only if you see through yourself, you find the peace in your soul. And that’s what matter the most.
She said, build a house as society has said, then due to leakage you will find there is something mistake and then you build it by own.
This is a different thing
Unlearn❤
I’m 21 from Nigeria 🇳🇬 where it’s almost impossible to get things straight at a young age .I’m glad I just watched this 💯 …… one Tedtalk a day will take you to a different dimension ❤
The sooner you grow the better…..
What country is actually good
Same here in Colombia. I'm twenty and next year I'ma about to graduate. I don't even know what to do with my life but we should just keep faith in our future and try to make a good live
In my entire life of 20 years no one ever said to me that you have time
You have time!
@@DanaJaneWriter Haha! 😆
What's funny.... it's reality
Absolutely on point- we need to be so much more mindful of our 20’s as it sets the stage of the scene of our lives. Thanks for sharing your story
This is the other half of the argument on how to live through your twenties that people don't talk about. I love it.
Thank you so much Livi! I’m 20 years old and have spent the last year working on unlearning generational trauma, accepting and loving my authentic self, and living in alignment!! This video is like a giant thumbs up from the universe saying YOU ARE ON THE PATH YOU WERE MEANT TO BE! KEEP GOING!!
No way!!! I’m 18 years old and listened to this video for the first time ever on an April 26th!!
😲😲😲
Livi Redden's TEDx talk on intentional emotional development for young adults struck a chord with me, especially as I approach my twenties this year. The idea that mindset shifts and emotional development can alleviate the confusion and anxiety associated with major life decisions resonated deeply. Redden's insights into steering one's life through mindfulness and accountability provided a refreshing perspective on navigating the challenges of this pivotal phase.
Her emphasis on proactively shaping our emotional well-being to create a joyful and fulfilling future was both empowering and reassuring. As I reflect on her talk, I realize the importance of incorporating intentional emotional growth into my own journey. Redden's guidance encourages a more purposeful approach to decisions related to education, career, relationships, and personal development. This talk has inspired me to embrace emotional intelligence as a tool for building resilience and steering my life towards a future that aligns with my values and brings genuine fulfillment.
Honestly, I have no idea about how life has been miserable due to misunderstanding from classmates, financial stability, the worries about future and career as well. I suppose I have been focusing so much on something I cant control like overthinking rather than focusing on myself. Thanks to video for reminding and giving guideline for personal growth.
everyone has areas where they are ahead of their peers and areas where they fall behind. Nobody is perfect. Change takes time. I wish i would recall that more often
14:26 was my favorite part. Good to hear when you’re ready for big change but scared about the world around you
I am turning 21 in less than ten days and graduate college in less than 6 months. This video came as a sort of life saver to me and am I the only one who is tearing up by the end of this ? So glad I came across this
I’m glad it found you my dear🧡
I relate to what you said, now I'm struggling to finish college and welcome life after graduation, keep up the spirit for us!
Shoutout to Livi! I am so grateful for this video. It affirmed to me that all the work that I've done and the work that I continue to do, to live my life and my being as the most authentic version of myself, is the best thing that I can do for myself.
I was feeling a bit lost and being lost is okay. I'm re-aligning with my path and what I want to explore in this life, and that's more than okay!
As long as I'm being honest with what I want and who I am and am trying my best and giving myself grace, then I'm on the right path 🫶🏽
THIS🧡
Couldn't stop holding my tears as i realised how much your talk resonates with me. The outburst came the moment you said 'Unlearning'. Thank you so much! ❤❤❤❤
24 years old,in Final Year of Medical school,excited yet afraid to step into practical world soon,I think I needed this video the most.The message resonated with me as I'm sure with all others in 20s.Our lives literally are roller coaster rides in our 20s and reminders and messages like these can change one's perspective and approach towards life.Thank you.
PAY ATTENTION! Crucial and lifelong lessons! HELP for young people looking for a more healthy mindset journey! Thank you Livi!
Your voice is as soothing as your words. As a 20 years old girl, clinically depressed and struggling with sleep, with no friends and uncertain future, I totally agree with you. ❤
Wow! This is so eye opening & such an important topic that isn’t talked about enough. Thank you for this talk, all young people need to hear this!
Such an inspiring talk. Looking back on my twenties, I wasn't able to make good decisions in life. But upon hearing this, I'm more eager to share this to young adults.
Im 17 years old this podcast has really help and changed the way I think .I've realized there's more to life than just waking up everyday and doing the same things everyday this was really helpful and I enjoyed it
I am 21, soon turning 22 and I really took so many decisions in my college life to change my life it really worked, like I did acting to increase my confidence, i did dancing, singing, modelling, sports, and bodybuilding. i enjoyed my journey , but I still regret not making right decisions at the right time, after watching you I will work more on myself and I will definiately become more self-confident
Sounds like you did exactly what you needed to do. You explored🧡
I felt conditioned that going to University would solve all my problems I had internally. Because Adult’s say “You will figure it out. Just go to University.” When in reality, it was learning mindfulness, stress training, mental health awareness. Because, now I’m ill. I just want to be happy but I’m crumbling under the high-pressure. To me, happy and successful is being at peace. I hope I find this! ❤
THIS THIS THIS. You nailed it! So glad my talk resonated. Rooting for you!
Is anyone here for learning English
Yes, me!
its mee!😂
oui
Yeah, me too else.
Yes , me
"life-changing,life-saving,society-changing skills" that line is powerful and100% true when it come to emotional development.This is such an important conversation and you share it si beautifully! Everyone needs to watch this! I'm 21 and this definitely resonated with me from so many from so many different angles. Thank you!
This is true. I started a pandemic prevention project when I was 24 years young in 2014. I'm 34 now and I know how to save world population 😊.
This comment is so interesting if you don’t mind me asking how are you gonna go that?
I am 23, about to graduate college and it is just intense. 20’s are so hard to navigate. Like who am i ? I dont even know yet
I actually navigated through these comments looking for this type of comment of which i relate to, and knowing this information now overwhelms me. I'm thinking i should've known better earlier😅
Completely relate to this! We haven’t found time to find ourselves due to being numbed out by education and pressure! I am from the U.K. and here it breaks so many people university and college 💖
Algorithm getting to good I’ve been pondering what is success and I stopped the video when she was defining it (about ~10:34) to stop and think. And I’m frustrated that her answer makes so much sense because I feel like pleasure of finding out has been ripped from me but also so grateful to have the answer. Of course approaching with skepticism has I’m sure the lives of you my fellow reader may be radically more different than mine. So continue watching at the risk of your own becoming…
Thank you algorithm, I needed to hear these words! Last year I am living in chaos, as you said constantly in war with my mind. This video helped me a lot.
When she said align with your true core values it all added up. Instantly my brain new what they were, the whole mix(finances, relationships,health,spirit, mentality) so thats what I am going to do. I'll take steps each and everyday to better myself in this regard. The confusion for me came when u are looking at everyone else and it confuses you on whether what you are doing is right or not. This has reminded me to stay true to myself, and also not to be so naive to push onto the future by saying oh well I'll find a wife later in life, what's stopping mw from taking active steps now even if it is uncomfortable in the moment. Thats what life is about, moving towards your goals with hope and certainly that with the work and effort you put in you will eventually become who you have always wanted to be.
I'm 22 when watching this, I've been watching TEDs and this I'm ranking as one of the most resonating with me.Thanks Big time 💯💯
”The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.“
John 10:10
The answer can’t be personal fulfillment because we will always fail one way or another. I lived this life that she talks about - but personal alignment and emotional/mental health could only get me so far. I was always striving and never arriving at the life or person I wanted to be. Jesus is the only one who can truly satisfy our souls, give us rest, and save us from the destruction around us and within us.
Is that Bible. Cool.
Im having an interview soon enough and now I felt less afraid. THANK YOUUU🎉🎉
All that was said in this video, I'm questioning none of it. I felt as good listening to it as any of the others that did. However, there is one nuance that my tiny head isn't able to wrap.
I can align myself to my core beliefs, I can be the person that I want and envision to be, and I can do what genuinely serves me right. I can quite that job, and I can take the risks I've always wanted to take. But I won't be the only one living with those consequences, right?
Like it or not, most of us are a part of a larger whole. The whole maybe our families, or the group of friends we surround ourselves with, or the larger society around us. People who depend on us, people on who we depend for affection, validation, etc.
How do I navigate that conundrum? How do I please myself, and please the ones that genuinely matter to me? How do I take risks knowing that if they blow up on my face, I just might never recover? Even worse, these blow ups will take collaterals, the people whose happiness matters the most to me!
How do I navigate this? Genuinely asking a question that plagues my every day. Thank you for any responses!
After hearing this message I can feel that I have the urge to change my life. I have been relaxed for sometime now and after hearing this I can see that I have been my own enemy. It's about time I make bold decision and get to work on them. Thank you for such fulfilling and powerful message 😮😢❤
Thank you for sharing with us, recently I had been struggle with my life decision, whether did I pick a right job or i dont have enough money so I force to work. My life decision seems like always money and money. This video had motivate me a lot that I need to align myself with own values not other people values, my own happiness is the most important things that I need. Really appreciate that !!!!
Thank you for the topic
In my 20s,I have been facing problems such as educational and financial,It’s not easy to give up on my graduation to chose the way to find money.Start from now I will not wasting my time by finding money.I will try to grow up more in my 20s and let follow the money with my skills
Shes so lovely, gorgeous and smart. I think im inlove. The way she articulates her sentence is very attractive
The way Hidden Time Wealth dives into the concept of productivity is mind-blowing. Hidden Time Wealth tips are pure gold, and I wish more people knew about them.
Feeling bold after watching this amazing video as an 19 years old girl ! ❤
I’m late in my 20s and struggled with being a 1st gen American in a rural town. This advice resonates so much despite her not being an immigrant amazingly! Be true to yourself and make the bold moves and seek for yourself without steering from anyone. You are in control of your mind and no one will switch places with you when times get rough. May peace be upon you all!
Hidden Time Wealth blew my mind. I’ve shared it with friends, and they’re all amazed at how much more productive they've become.
I'm in my early thirties, and my twenties were horrendous to start with and eventually ended up to be better. I honestly don't regret the recklessness in my twenties, I personally believe that it was required to make me a better person, a calmer individual and a bit more rational. Don't stress about your twenties, enjoy it and make mistakes. Just be sure that you learn from your mistakes. Yes, 20's can have a significant impact on your life, I don't deny that at all. Learn empathy and think before you hurt someone, sometimes it can be irreversible. Also, please lock your phone away and enjoy your life with your friends and family; and please do take care of your health.
Do make bold changes! Best of luck everyone.
1000% love this comment 🧡
Just remember, there’s a big difference between mistakes and bad decisions.
Very well spoken and great stage presence, I’m 23 in a few weeks and have been in this exact mindset since I turned 20. Even did the skydiving thing whilst never stepping foot on an airplane before. I think this is something that needs to be shared with our youth while they still have a chance ✨
As someone who also lost their dad to ALS at a really young age, this video resonated with me in many different aspects. As a college student majoring in psychology, with hopes to one day become a therapist, I found this video very insightful and eye opening.
I'm 21 and I truly needed this. Thank you Livi... Seriously thank you❤️✨
Hi i'm at your age now. 😊 and I needed this too...
Im 25 and currently torn with life school work balance. I feel left out with some people my age bc they seem not to care and just want to enjoy life. Thank you for this video.
Just lost my job at 23 and am planning to change my career. Thank you so much for the videos. It made me believe that the risks I'm taking rn are worth fighting for :)
Thanks for sharing this video. I'm 23 and Mexican, living a pretty normal life in my 20s. I find myself constantly debating whether I want the same things as others - a house, a car, money. I can't stop thinking about whether these are things I truly want or if it's just what society has taught us to want. It's time to break this generational pattern, be free, and just live. Let's enjoy our lives and stop trying to satisfy everyone except ourselves... Just a thought.
There are many many people who needs to hear her
We have a saying in my country “bersusah-susah dahulu, bersenang-senang kemudian” which directly translates into “hard-hard at first, easy-easy later”… I always remind myself of this quote whenever I need to sacrifice the fun moments for the sake of my future because deep down, I know I'll be able to achieve what I wanted if I worked hard enough for it.
we are one country! halooo
So powerful! Well done Livi. What a blessing you are to all of us on this planet 💜
"correlation doesn't always determine causation" 🔥🔥🔥
True
Hidden Time Wealth is so unique. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it sooner. It’s amazing how life-changing this can be for anyone battling procrastination.
Being , 23, my only fear is becoming a failure , and being told ,'you had so much potential, you ruined it'. So, I started working on my skills. I just completed my masters' , so I am looking for employment, but seeing others living the dream life of mine does hurt. So, I stopped following them and started to skill up myself, and be a person who can actually contribute to the industry, something, that I am interested and passionate about, I made a roadmap, how, when, and where. I am going to take time blocking the outer words, sushing my inner insecurity, finding strength, so that I could make a better version. The thing is I am my own competition. So, let's see after 10 years when I am 35, I don't have any regrets.
The concept of Hidden Time Wealth blew my mind. It’s like finding a cheat code for productivity and defeating procrastination.
Could you share to me that book?
She is spot on re emotional skills. Our world needs these skills taught. Somehow. Someway.
Our children need this.
17:48 The sooner you grow, the better. ❤
This is also true for "a feeling of being constantly at war with their minds." This insight really helped me! Thank you, Livi mam.
hey, I'm 18, and lately, I've held myself back and just really been stuck living with the constant fear of what will happen in my 20s there is a lot more I wish to do than follow the laid-out path and the environment that is supposed to make me "more settled in the future". I wish to understand my core more, I wish to understand feelings and emotions. To me, right now at least that is what I consider 'rich'. I could relate so hard to " a feeling of constantly being at war with our minds". I know for a fact that the war has to end for me to be able to bring about change, change in myself and change in the way young minds think, change in the way parents think. After listening to this I feel like it can happen and it has made me a lot more informed. Livi, it's beautiful what you do. I admire your work.
I'm so glad this resonated! It's funny how much we feel pressure to DO in our 20s but rarely are reminded or taught the skills to look inward at what that doing might look like in a way that provides lasting peace. Rooting for you my dear!
love you Livi Redden, I truly gain some insightful lesson from you. I reflect back on your each motto behind what you are saying.
Its took nearly around 40 minutes to relearn myself and aligning my action to the my core values.
So glad I found this now and not a decade from now ❤
This is incredible and i’m thankful for it. Livi is extremely intelligent.
Rooting for you on your journey!
@@livireddenaw thanks Livi! likewise!
This is so wise and it has hit me ...we should follow our intuition and listen to our inner voice .... the goal is to be happy not to be successful at least that is what my voice is telling me
just 24th old girl, who sitting in her room watch this video on tuesday while people in my age start doing their own job. Currently i quite for my second job since graduate from my collage without consider what will happening when i'm unemployee, just impulsive decision i though. I ty figure out what i desire for my live that impact to my future, but sill unsolve.
Look at yourself, question yourself, update yourself to the way you want, repeat.
I’m about to turn 18 years old in a month, and I’m absolutely grateful for convincing myself to watch this. I still have so much to learn about life and this video taught me so many things I have to know about before my 20’s . As a 17 yo kid right now I’m very afraid of making wrong decision of my life. im worried about my future what if I made the wrong choice. I don’t even know what is right for me I don’t know if the decision I made was right or not. But after I’ve watched this video all I know is I gotta work hard. Stop thinking worrying about everything in my life and start to doing it right now whatever I wanted to do.
And I’m absolutely agreed with the advice that many adults tell us that “you still have time, don’t worry about it” is the worst advice ever for me. The worst thing u can think of is that you have time.
I'm also 17 years old having a hard time since I only have 1 year left before college and I don't know what course I should take, because I don't have a dream job, I just wanna make money 😭

Who came here to learn English?*
Incredible. Probably the best adivce and mindset inspiration I've ever heard. Well, done Livi!
Probably one of the best talks I've heard.
Absolutely insane. I alway listen to ted talks or podcasts on the stair-master. I opened up youtube and scrolled, my usual genre of videos not catching my eye and I for some reason click on this video. It’s April 26th, 2024 and I’m 20 years old and listening to this at the gym all by pure coincidence.
I'm 20 something (21) and I feel this very personal, thank u❤️❤️
I would say one of the worst problems is this enormous pressure to achieve everything as fast as possible. It’s insanity. An entire worldwide society making children burn out into early graves to achieve a personal future that may never come.
Maybe we aren’t supposed to be out authentic selves or achieve self mastery or have all the answers because... we are still kids.
Great TED Talk pointed out its society’s obligation to give mediocre people a chance to achieve, not to grind high performing youth into dust.
I know I am not living in alignment with my values but unfortunately I won’t be able in order to make a decent living. I want to go study but I can’t afford it while living out of home, the cost of living is simply too high for me to do something I genuinely enjoy. That’s the scary thing about being in your 20s right now, it seems like the world is slowly getting more and more unbearable. There’s so much hate and anger in the world and I count myself lucky to even have what I do right now, it’s all very overwhelming
I truly needed to hear this. Thank you Livi
Thank you, Livi. The faster you grow, the better!
