Eddy, one of your videos showed up on my feed today, and I am finding them very helpful! Are you a Stoic, by chance? Or have you read Stoic philosophy? A lot of your advice reminds me of Stoic philosophy - and I love your delivery, you seem like such a straightforward guy,
I would be retiring or working less in 5 years, and I'm curious to know best how people split their pay, how much of it goes into savings, spendings or investments, I earn around $250K per year but nothing to show for it yet.
predicting short-term market movements is extremely difficult in reality. It also essentially requires the investor to be right twice: they must perfectly time both their entrance to and exit from the market.
That is exactly the reason I stopped taking advise from RUclipsrs; in the long run, I only end up with a jumbled collection of stocks and bonds. Whereas all I needed to earn over $350k in less than two years was guidance from a true market expert.
I think you’re pretty good at this Eddy. All your points resonated with me and point 6 made me recall a bit of advice I received from my father in law. He told me that friends and associates are like drains or radiators. The radiators make you feel good about yourself and the drains suck the life out of you and leave you feeling less confident. The real kicker about the drains is that they are masquerading as your friend. Recognising the radiators from the drains is a valuable lesson to learn. That bit of advice has stuck with me and I’ve tried to ‘find my tribe in life’ as you so brilliantly phrased it. I reckon I’ve gone through a very similar journey to you Eddie and being of a similar age I think we’ve arrived at a similar point in our journey. Keep up the good fight ❤
A lot of what you’ve said in this video Eddy resonated with me. I’m turning 40 this year. I wanted to chuck myself off of the Tyne bridge during the second lockdown three years ago as I was caring for my grandmother and I thought my life had no direction, no light at the end of the tunnel. Now, when I get those dark toxic feelings, I visit Saltwell Park in Gateshead. I keep my phone in my pocket and enjoy the peace and serenity of real life. It clears the head and the soul. When you realise when certain things are out of your control in life, it frees you up mentally to care about the things that are in your control. I too believed I was a victim three/four years ago and my life was a mess. It took moving mountains in my own life to achieve the freedom and happiness I wanted all along. Life still is a matter of ups and downs but that’s how it has to be.
@@Eddy-Hope No problem. A lot of young people like I was thought that life deserved them a favour but the fact is life isn’t fair and the sooner they realise this, the better 👍
Well done Eddy, loving your life story, and your RUclips channel its amazing. I was also in the induction of 98 👮 April. I couldn’t picture you at first as you had hair back then. Finished 3 years ago as I’m in the same age group. Difficult to find Rhyme and reason at times after that experience, however you give me inspiration. Keep up the good work.
Great advice mate. Don't want to sound like a hippy but I over the last year I have been reading and trying to follow Taoism. It teaches effortless action. Bruce Lee was heavily influenced by following. His analogy of '"being like water". it honestly has helped greatly. When ever I hit a problem I try and not force changes I just go with the flow like a river running around a rock in a stream. Anyway what ever works for everyone.
Hi Martin, following the Stoic philosophy helped me. There’s some overlap with Taoism but without the spirituality and spiritual immortality beliefs. This stuff should be taught in schools
Yeah I have seen your video on stowisim and yeah I really like some of the ideas in that as well. Let's face it I think there is a lot of truth in all Eastern philosophies. @@Eddy-Hope
Totally agree with the first point 'You are not special'. I try to communicate this to my teenage daughter without sounding heartless or lacking compassion I am the same age as Eddy and have found during difficult times that acting 'as if' everybody else is feeling as bad as I am feeling helps me put things into perspective. It reminds me that if other people can overcome their mental heath issues and function in their daily lives then I can too; it motivates me to take action, even if that meant just dragging myself out of bed and getting to work on time. This strategy helped keep me in a job and paid the bills when I was at my lowest point
Excellent video Eddy. All you say resonates with me and it's nice to hear someone else who has had similar life experiences and strategies for dealing with life. A great reminder for me and I'm sure this will help many other people. Please keep up the good work.
This video should be shown to all school children. These days many kids have the following attitude..... - I Know My Rights - I Want It Now - Someone Else Is To Blame - I'm A Victim - Pay me for Doing Nothing
Broadly speaking I agree, although I’d say young people today are 2nd generation who are like this. Ultimately its s reflection of parenting and the cracks probably started to appear in my generation, the first generation after the 2nd world war and the formation of the welfare state.
Sound advice, thank you. I'm 53 and agree with everything you've suggested. Fortunately, I have ticked all 7 boxes, most recently finding a job I enjoy. All the best.
Another great video. The one I find the hardest is... Only worry about the things you can control. That's a tough one! But you learn and grow everyday ❤ Thanks Eddy!
Great message. If we understand the power of your words and apply them to our lives, we have the capability to change outcomes, make positive differences, and speak life to others. .I'm lucky to find you here!Cheers
Excellent Eddy mate, I think making them mistakes We've made early should help us learn how to handle the mistakes we make later in life, You can do it yourself, You've just got to believe you can, We don't have to be super human, just happy and comfortable, Listening to you, fantastic positive information thanks mate, I don't know how long you've been retired but that's obviously been a massive bonus, well-done again mate, 👍
No 5 Reality.. i agree but unfortunately i work in supported living for people with mental health issues. So its very difficult to distance myself. Thanks, will try some of your suggestions

Therapists tell people with OCD that they’ve ’lost control’ of their thoughts and develop techniques for them to regain it. You’re not stating facts at all. Thanks for your comments 👍🏻

Hi Erica, yes I am and I find it hugely helpful. Through my videos I hope to put forward a modern spin on the philosophies to help people in different ways. Thank you for the kind words

I've been considering but haven't been proactive. Can you recommend your advisor? Could really use some assistance.!
"Angela Lynn Schilling" is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.!!

Hi Eddy
Can you post a link to your video about Stoic philosophy please

Im sorry to hear that you can’t control your thoughts buddy
@@Eddy-Hope everyone can't it's a fact. and it's one of the 1st pieces of therapy told to people with ocd
