Well if I’m eating beans from a can in front of a beautiful lake like that, having a fish and being able to think in peace rather than worrying about office gossip so that I can earn more money to buy more crap … yeah I’ll have beans for lunch any day 💖
I did nothing for 2 years. It was fun for a while then I got depressed. I've since learned it's about balance. We need to work, but a job we love. We need to contribute and make meaningful connections with other human beings. But we also need vacations and adventure. Like all things, it's about balance.
Every day being SATURDAY gets OLD. Retire for a few years and it becomes evident. The key is to really (not give a damn inside about whatever job you're at) Let all that stress go. Don't worry about being fired or whatever. It's sooooooo much easier. In your later years work part-time if you feel like it. Full time is torture. The end.
@plutoplatters I tend to think same when pondering meaning.. and existence itself. Maybe the Source (God, etc.) gets bored with itself. It is after all.. ONE. As in ALL ONE...A(l)LONE. So here "we" are. 🤷♂️ Like Alan Watts said: Let's suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream that you wanted to dream. And that you could, for example, have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time. Or any length of time you wanted to have. And you would, naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure you could conceive. And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each, you would say "Well, that was pretty great." But now let's have a surprise. Let's have a dream which isn't under control. Where something is gonna happen to me that I don't know what it's going to be. And you would dig that and come out of that and say "Wow, that was a close shave, wasn't it?" And then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream. And finally, you would dream ... where you are now. You would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today. That would be within the infinite multiplicity of choices you would have. Of playing that you weren't God, because the whole nature of the godhead, according to this idea, is to play that he is not. So in this idea then, everybody is fundamentally the ultimate reality, not God in a politically kingly sense, but god in the sense of being the self, the deep-down basic whatever there is. And you are all that, only you are pretending you are not. 🙃✌️
Eh, you got depressed because you let yourself. "Work" can mean working/volunteerung for your various communities. No, no one needs to have a job in order to not get depressed. There is just too much to learn and love in this world to get depressed about having the time and peace to do it. And you probably took do nothing too literally.
6 years ago, after grinding hard for 40 years, I finally burned out. Self employed since 18 years old chasing the dream, married to a person who didn't love me back, supporting her the best that I could, house 1 block from a private country club, nice SUV's, 2 vacations a year and financially supported her family as well and then Covid arrived. My business took a hit, my covert narcissist wife who is now my ex pushed me harder instead of offering support so, I filed for divorce and placed our house on the market. I've been doing nothing but reflect and learn since and although I do enjoy the down time, I have no intentions to fully stop pursuing my dreams but its good to finally take a rest.
Rob, glad to hear you have scaled back in all areas. Now you can decide what and how you see yourself living. Free time isn't a sin, but remember to keep a hobby, it saves the day as you get much older. Good success to you. 😊
@@SpaceCadet4Jesus Thank you for your thoughtful comment! I do have a few hobbies but they cost money so, I'll need to go back to work to finance them. Fortunately, I enjoy what I do for work so it's almost like a hobby. I just won't burn the candle at both ends this go around. All the best to you!
Sorry brother. I could be reading my life story. Pretty much exactly what happened to me. I know the feeling. I don't know what comes first. The burn out or the realization that your wife doesn't really love you. But it happened to me too. Worked so hard I got a heart problem at 40. Kept on going. At 47 dystonia. Couldn't work anymore. Wife was somehow gone emotionally. Refused sex already for years. Eventually she stopped talking. Silent treatment for 3 years. Imagine that. She also looked down on me because I couldn't work as hard anymore. I tried though. Just couldn't do it anymore. Tried to solve it but she didn't want to. She filed for divorce. She took our business. Got rewarded a small sum in court but no energy to start again. Burn out will do that to you. Have to figure out a way to make it out of the bay area. Too expensive here. It will be the death of me.
I’m a burned out emergency physician at age 60. Spent 22 years in Air National Guard deploying all over the world as a flight surgeon on my “spare time”. Literally have had one weekend off a month for the last 20 years. It’s taken me 60 years to discover what you have figured out. I love spending time alone doing nothing and regret my life that was wasted. Enjoy watching your videos!
God bless you I'm starting my life over at 44 years old after being addicted to heroin for 20 years before that I was a firefighter had four years in the department but got dependent on oxycontin because of eight surgeries which then went to heroin. Remember it's never too late to start over. I'm going back to my community college this January. I've been off heroin and Fentanyl for 2 years and I just got off the Sublocade and now on nothing. God bless you 🙏
Watch Dr Dobie he quit as a 20 yr Neurosurgeon, MD burned out to great you tube channel Now he does lots of hiking river videos etc Site is I think called dobie and scobie with his dog scoobie
Being a 47 year old Asian guy also, life was all about education, work, raising family. Now that both kids are in college and don't really need me, I am also ready to step away from the corporate world. I've ignored myself for too long, I don't need much. Simply sitting by the water, waiting all day for a bite and watching the minnows swim by is fine for me in my book.
I understand because I am in the same situation. Hope it's going to get easier for now. Be careful making new life changing decisions. Where you live. Your partner too. Give yourself time to recuperate. Hope you find something that gives joy and that doesn't drain your energy. A good balance.
This story I heard helped me to realize it's about perspective. - A rich man went to Mexico for vacation and saw a Mexican fisherman catching a lot of fish. So the rich man said you could get a business LLC and sell fish for money. The Mexican man said then what do I do next? The rich man said then you get the company on the stock market and people will trade for your value of the company. Then the Mexican man said oh what do I do next? The rich man said then you sell your company after 20+ years. Then the Mexican man said what next? The rich man said I guess you get to retire and go fishing. Then the Mexican said.. Oh so you do all that just to retire. I guess I am retired because I am already getting to go fishing...
But your retirement benefits depends on how much you worked, age, etc And u still need money for real estate expenses, utilities, food, transportation, medical, etc
@@raymondlin8728so waste your health all your life for wealth. To retire at an old age halfway dead spending your wealth on your health. Terrible logic guy people been falling for that trap for years. The fisherman gets it you don’t
I’ve given so much of my life to working just to stay alive. I wasn’t even living. Just existing. I quit the corporate world in August. I finally have peace in my life. It finally belongs to me to just observe, breathe, and absorb.
@ I’m an options trader now selling calls and puts online. It’s called the wheel strategy, you can RUclips it. I work about 3 hours a day and make plenty to live.
You're on the right track. Five years ago i sold my home and almost all my possessions. Hit the road with a truck and small utility trailer that contained everything i owned. My only direction was driving west, did so for eight months camping all the way. I have found that living with less and enjoying life more is where it's at in my opinion
The is by far the best story I have heard on RUclips in a past 20 years. Better than any feature film with a multimillion dollar budget. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story.
Very well said. I feel the same. For so long people have suppressed their real and raw true emotions. The corporate world for me was quite abusive at every turn, and even academia. It’s like society has become so toxic. Your ability to open up and be so transparent is quite a bit refreshing !🙏 Very peaceful and tranquil.👍
Bro, English man here in the Philippines. Thank you for reinforcing these truths. Life here is much slower, people have less wealth but family is stronger and , even tho they understand that money affords a lot of options, it’s not the be all and end all. It feels like serendipity that I stumbled upon your video this morning. Thank you for your open and honest story. Most people want and need this but few are aware of it. Thanks again, much love ❤️
Poignant words. I fear most might take this to mean that what was in the morning should never have been valued as important, but I think that'd be a hasty conclusion. We deemed it necessary in the morning but it has since served its purpose. Time to move on.
@@AnonforYeshua77777 I work full time, my wife works part time. We together make under 100k a year. With no kids, and a smart budget, we are able to live quite comfortably. I know of a number of people up here though who have two-3 kids and they are able to manage just fine too.
@@nerad1994 I live in Kenai Alaska. It's a coastal town. Small town life, with enough shopping to live comfortably. We have a view of the ocean, and a number of volcanoes across the Cook Inlet.
I burned out 8 years ago. Lol. I’ve been trying to do nothing since. I think it’s an amazing practice. Lol. I end up doing what’s important and nothing else.
@@bagman1103 I’m a health coach. Again, I still do what’s important. I just TRY to do nothing. The things that need to get done just pop up. It’s just a difference in the way you look at things. Rather making a to-do list of unimportant things, when you try not to do anything, the things that really need to get done become the obvious priority.
I feel you brother. I have 2 kids , work 3 jobs, Costco 40 hours a week, music solo gigs , and Uber at nights . The grind is very draining and it’s tuff at all times. I deal with hundreds of people everyday all day and night. One day I hope to meet you at that spot and make a cup of coffee with you
that sounds a good life tbh, but i can understand you feel tired, but imo tiredness is pretty much something we live with even if we dont work all the time
41 yrs. Most of my life i've been stressing about something. Mostly about what's coming next. I still do that, a lot. I got so used to always thinking that even when i'm completely "blank" (as you put it) i feel like I'm not okay, when in reality this is the best feeling you can have, the feeling of no feeling. No stress, no sadness, not even happiness, just nothing. I believe this is the closest we can get to blissfulness/enlightenment as mere mortals. Wish you all the best.
@castrofiasco888 Just remember to be your own best friend. Don't judge yourself too much. We're here for a limited time as this body and mind. Might aswell love ourselves more and have more simpathy for ourselves. There's nothing wrong with you. Just sit, breathe and relax. Clear your mind. You're good!
When you take time and listen to people, you can see how we are all hurting from this culture. Sometimes when I see an African village it makes me sad, because of what they have that we dont. I can only imagine how cool it would be to play barefoot soccer in the rain with your friends, surviving off the land and being fully immersed in your community. I am so tired of grinding, being alone and constantly going up hill and quite honestly I dont think its just me. I am not depressed, I just dont feel like driving in the wrong direction so often.
Hustle culture is an extreme we should avoid, but idleness is another extreme we ought to be wary of. We need a happy middle. The Greeks understood moderation.
I don’t have a career, I just recently got out of a 2 year engagement and I traveled 7 times, 3 different countries, proposed in Aruba, took engagement photos in Dominican, still relax and all I did was side hustles and Airbnb in my two bed apartment. People overrate careers and I’ve been chilling at 25, not for long though.
Good on you. The higher you climb the corporate ladder the quicker you realise its just the hunting ground of psychopaths in management looking to exploit and take advantage of employee goodwill, diligence, sense of duty and kindness

Are you going down the right path? The way I see it, you created enough space to see your priorities clearly. I'm sure your next career move will be on your own terms. I left the corporate workforce at 49 (sometimes the universe gives us a push, in my case my mother's illness). No regrets.
Wise video. My daughter is 23 now and I’d give anything to go to a carnival with her again when she was 6 or 7 years old. That aside, I’m sitting in my living room resting in relative silence. Sure, prior to leaving the work world at 57 I had those moments BUT, I was clinging to them. Not anymore, these moments of staring at the sky, not having to be anywhere are no longer rushed or clung to, they are part of me. Money issues rear their head sometimes but that was the trade off. The mental and physical stress I’ve endured took its toll. Yes, tired of the rat race. I found a little slice of life. Hope it’s lasts.
It’s nice to see people are starting to realize what is really important to them and not what was told to us what’s important. Soon people with make a choice in life intelligently based on what they really want.
Happy Birthday 🎂 My Mom had the book on being productive! She died at 69! She never let me sit around. Always had to be “doing something” Once I could get settled into my own life .. I tried to Chill but of course it wasn’t possible until after I hit 40 ! That was my first step to graduate into Freedom! I get to do what I want now! 🙌 Freedom is what matters to me!
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm slowly appreciating life and taking time. I know it's never too late to take care of myself. I hope you do the same devil dog. Semper Fidelis
You left the "theatre". Our whole life we run away from something we should walk to: Happiness in just being. This emptiness is way more full than imagined, in fact it's fullness. Be-ing instead of be-coming. If your child sees a bird it doesn't need to know what kind of bird it is. Otherwise it won't see a bird again. That's emptying the "cup" or in this case, keeping it empty. Much respect, Jan
@@SpiriTxDOUGHBOY the day you teach a kid a name of the bird it won't see that bird never again. It's because firstly it sees something alive and vibrant and someone says that's sparrow and kid learns that. Next time they are going for a walk again and there is similar bird to the one they have seen the other day and kid says oh that's sparrow I know them, I am bored with a sparrows. Very often we don't see what's really around us, because we perceive all of that through the labels we have for it and we miss its uniqness.
There is a lot of power in doing nothing, but many won’t admit it because it takes courage and strength to be able to just sit on your own alone with your own thoughts. For some people it is enough to drive them crazy, perhaps because they don’t like who they are, but those who can master that technique will become truly enlightened individuals.
Love this video, man. Im in the same boat at the age of 32. I'm content with very little at this point, knowing it can end at any moment. Slowing down is how you speed up.
Man you are still young and still got time to do a course correction. Sometimes we just have to pull over and check that map before we run out of gas. Good luck on your journey 🙏
32 here too and same here bud. The world has gotten out of control. Lost my job back in March. Best thing to ever happen to me. Spending unfettered time with yourself is how you get to know yourself. Sometimes Time needs to take it's "TIME".... Prayers and blessings to you 🙏
@BruceL33Roy yeah, man. Even if it takes a year or 2, as long as I am making some progress and doing what I enjoy, that is what I am aiming for the next year of my life. Have a job at a gym right now but was self-employed for the longest. I've tried over a hundred jobs, and I like being at the gym taking care of myself and being paid for that and only focusing on my health at this point. Dont even care how much I make for now. I just want to do what I want to do, work out, and eat the best and master that part of my life.
You’re right. Our society focuses on 9-5 work work work, and we hardly get a time to enjoy life and break off from the norm. I can see why reverting to nature is liberating, though it can also be dangerous
Im 33 now and I reached the point you’re at at 30. So, I’ve been on this journey for 3 years. Until society gets its act together, I’m done. I’m not contributing anymore unless it benefits me. I have so many skills and plans for my future now.
The good news is that you are still young and have lots of time ahead of you. I hope you, too, will soon find the place where you belong and be happy. Take care ❤️
When you do things "only for yourself," you've left the path of wisdom. If you want society to "get its act together," go out and be the change you want to see. It's not on everyone else but you.
55 yrs old here and I remember going to bed in my 20s woke up and was in my 50s that’s how fast time goes . I quit my job in May this year sick to death of dead lines , targets oh the list went on best thing I ever did but I do point out to people my own circumstances allowed me to do it go back 3 yrs or so I could have not done it . And everyone is on their own journey in life and I got to the stage where I don’t give a fuck what people think so long as I’m happy and getting on with it , I’m not really a inspirational quote type of person but two things I go by. With every kick in the face and every hurdle you pass the rewards get greater . And Have a good old moan and move on. I have applied to work in a supermarket part time know few people who quit high paying jobs and have done this , as they keep telling me they are broke but happy meaning not earning no where near the money they earned from previous job . All the best for the future can only move forward .
In the end, you either give all of your money to your children, your nursing home, or the funeral home. Although all three will take everything that you have, only the funeral home will ensure that you leave this world with dignity and respect. This reminds us that while we can plan for our legacy, the way we are remembered is ultimately shaped by the love and care we showed in life.
There's something about being alone in nature that helps us reconnect with ourselves and be at peace. Thank you and please take good care of yourself as well 🙏
When the wants stops being meaningful and just needs are the only priority in life. Life becomes more meaningful and serenity is your happiness and joy in life.
Peace is priceless! I've had to let go of the people in my life realizing the narcissism and competition that was present instead of meaningful connection and joy for life. Had to process the grief and reconnect with myself but it's so much better than what was! The never good enough culture is brutal and tons of stuff doesn't make it better. It's just more to keep up with! Thanks for this meaningful experience and beautiful views!Enjoy life as much as possible!
Letting go can be so hard, but choosing peace and reconnecting with yourself is such a powerful journey. You're absolutely right more stuff doesn't bring joy, but meaningful moments and connections do. Wishing you endless happiness and peacefulness❤️
3 things that helped me and literally changed my life 1. i stopped telling myself ill do it tomorrow 2. i read the book the cosmic wealth frequenices on borlest 3. i had faith and religion
I don't think it's ever too late for any of us to start realizing that the path we took was not the one meant for us. Sometimes it's better to do nothing than to keep going down the same path of self destruction as it was in my case. I hope you will find that peaceful destination where we all belong. Thanks.
Amazing chat bud. I’m only 22 but I can somewhat relate. University, my 4 internships, past dedications to university business clubs, and my part-time investment management job have led me to burn out. This whole time I followed the expectations of society and desired external validation. I ONLY JUST REALIZED NOW THAT EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE IN MY LIFE WAS NEVER ABOUT ME!!! It was about everyone else! I used to have so much fun learning new things until it became a matter of researching certain topics just so then I don’t seem boring to others. I’m too focused on what other people think about me that I cannot live my life properly. I just want to be me. I also appreciate that quote about being empty before being full. I have to start over and assess what matters to me. 1) Running long distances is one of my favourite things to do. Could only do 3km back in May and worked myself up to 21km by September. Going to sign up for a local half marathon once we get the chance 2) Fingerstyle guitar is another hobby of mine. Unfortunately I’ve become too critical of myself during practice sessions for music theory. I need to tell myself that it’s ok to not know music theory inside out yet. Just play and have fun. When it’s not fun anymore, put it down! 3) Growing plants. My family owns greenhouses and that’s how we’ve made our fortune. It’s a thankless job and doesn’t pay great but it’s what I love. Maybe I won’t be as respected as an investment banker, but that’s fine. - I can’t rely on external validation anymore. Talked things over with my dad after watching this video and decided I’m going to work there starting in March. This gives me some time to calm down and start from scratch. Thanks so much man, you’ve helped me craft my next steps!
Trust me, when you work in investment banking, most are miserable and they just use the title to try to sound impressive to others - I worked at Goldman sachs and Deutsche Bank for 6 years. Now run my own startup software company in AI that I love and do it from my house in Spain next to the beach. Life is peaceful and enjoyable. There are many ways to make good salary, while also doing what you love.
Resigned at 55 after my company went woke. I planned on 59.5 but I realized I had enough to die on. Now I’m the 5 year old again with no f’s to give except my sons.
You are a wise man. I resonate with pretty much everything you said. People get too caught up in making money and meanwhile they miss the one true valuable thing they have - their life. They go on collecting money and power, and forget to live life. And soon enough death comes and takes away all their money and power. So in the end, you only lose… your time, your energy and your money. And when you see it, you made it to retirement, but you’re too old and too tired to enjoy your life… To be honest, I’ve been wanting to take that leap but I don’t have your courage yet. It’s scary. I congratulate people like you for taking the courage to breaking out of the matrix. I know it’s not easy. Just don’t worry, the divine is guiding you on your path. Thank you so much for sharing your story, and I wish you all the best in your life and journey!
@@leelunk8235 I got the point, and yes the corporate world sucks. Thing is, I talk with retired and semi-retired people. Many of them travel, go fishing or hunting, but they are not necessarily happier, and some of them return to full-time jobs. It's a very fine line between freedom and feeling useless/board
@theelephant2887 because your friends minds are broken. They didn't get bored because there arent an endless number of ways to enjoy nature. They got bored with the toys they could afford on retirement.
Incredible message. I just turned 40 this year and am going through very similar things. My husband left me and my girls on new years this year, and it was one of the best things that could’ve happened, I couldn’t be where I am now if I were still married to him
I can totally relate to this. I made a similar video about stepping away from a toxic job and environment, and how it changed my perspective on life. Like you mentioned, the constant hustle can cloud your vision of what really matters. I realized I had to slow down and prioritize my own well-being, instead of chasing external validation. It’s so important to take that moment to reflect and ask, 'What do I really want?' Thanks for sharing this message - it's a powerful reminder to live in the present and not just rush through life.
This is rich and quality. Thank you for sharing this. I feel the same way. I always say people work to get money to get happiness but they are miserable doing it so sometimes the point is gone.
Man... I'm 45. I went through a similar experience about a year ago. I had been in the same industry for 18 years, the same job for 13. Time at my current job had come to a close. Six months before that, I had started a new relationship with a woman with a small daughter. I also have a daughter, who is now 14... I love her so much. I cherish, more than any single thing, the years when she was young. In 2015, I had a goal to take prerequisites to eventually get into PA school...I went for two semesters, giving it everything I could, a time which meant I had to tell my 5 year old daughter "no" when she wanted to spend time with me. After those two semesters, which I attacked full bore, shooting for straight A's, while being a full time medical device rep, I didn't want to do it anymore. I chose a relationship with my daughter over going to school and a future career as a PA. That is one decision I have never regretted... I loved every damn minute I spent with my daughter. It was the best time in my whole life. Then Covid hit, and before I knew it, she stopped being a little girl. Now, she's 14, and is mostly at her Mom's (I get her a whole 4 days a month). But, back to 18 months ago, I thought that by focusing on my new partner and her daughter, I was doing the right thing. I helped her through a custody battle, and did what I believed were the right things that a good man should do. Despite all of the effort, she ended things a little over a month ago. It hit me incredibly hard. Some of the worst pain of my life losing her, and that little girl, who by that time had long since started calling me Dad. Going from having a family to being totally alone, has been a kind of pain I never thought I'd experience at this stage of my life. I miss them so much. But, also, being alone, has forced me to confront myself, and where I am in life. It has forced me to be honest about the changing role of men in relationships, and in the workplace. Where I live, there aren't many opportunities in the job market... It has been a long stare into the great abyss... facing the reality that, a man, once he no longer produces, is disposable. Our culture is so fixated on women and opportunities equaling that of men.. I don't think it pays any attention to men. It's "adapt or survive"... and in life, sometimes that means choosing between being the father you want to be for 4 days a month, or forsaking that for an opportunity at something different. So much of my purpose was taking care of the girls in my life... but, I discovered that my value to them was only as much as I earned. That is an incredibly painful thing to come to terms with. But, it's also freeing, to a point. I don't know what I'm going to do, exactly. But, like you, I want it to be something that pushes me to do it with vigor and passion... traditionally that has meant other people. Now, I am faced with doing for myself and only myself..and as much as I want others to motivate me, that simply isn't an option. One bit of advice: spend as much time as possible with your daughter. You'll never regret it. Ever. It does go so quickly... soak up all of it you can.... time with her, and your wife... indulge in it. You just never know when life is going to come along and have its own plans with you.
💯 my daughter is 17 now. I walked away from every big opportunity if it looked like the trade off was neglecting that diminishing time with her. Stay up man, teenagers are really hard. 14 - 16 especially tough. I promise she doesn't think your only value is your earnings potential tho. Stay available and present and pretty soon no custody agreement can get between you guys. It will happen fast
@@SamRexfordI can't make her mother a reasonable person. I have no control over whether her mom is a controlling narcissist. The courts here in New Mexico are awful and corrupt. I wish this story had a happy ending. But, my prime earning years are dwindling away, and as much as I would love to have financial & professional opportunities come my way, the reality in this state is I will very likely have to create them myself. As for my daughter... She has been brainwashed like so many other young girls... and 4 days vs 26 with her Mom is... it's lip service. It's enough time for her Mom to say, "She sees her Dad", and then, when our relationship withers, she can tell our daughter, "I had the same experience with my Dad. I know how it is..." She is a sick woman. But, sick narcissistic people like herself will never admit they have a problem. They just ruin the lives of the people around them.
@@SamRexfordI begged her Mom for *years* for more time with her. It only resulted in less. Her Mom is a sick, fucked up human being who thinks because she has a good job, that makes the rest of her good, too. I can see into the past, how she was made from her Dad not being present when she was a little girl... she used to accuse me of being him... of saying I was going to leave them... Then *she* leaves... and now, she's making our daughter into her... which is so incredibly sick...and Democrats control the fucking courts in this shit state. This is what it results in... But, she will never admit to, or take accountability for any of this.
@@CalmBeforeTheStorm76 I've been thru something extremely similar it sounds like. If you ever need someone to chop it up with over fatherhood, courts, daughters, life, reach out. I'm easy to find online.
How lucky you are to leave your job and chill. I live in the caribbean and we cant do that. Its unthinkable because how we gonna live? Appreciate the solitude you have.
Wow that's super cool. I would love to travel like that one day and see the world from another perspective. I hope you had a good break and will find that next dream job soon. Good luck my friend 🙏
I rejoice in you having the freedom to stop your life to have this experience. So many of us would be better off healthwise, mentally and physically, creatively and spiritually, if we recognized periods of solitude, stillness, and rest as important as times of activity and accomplishment. May we all find that regardless of outer circumstances.
I’m 51. 3 kids. Everything I ever did was for my wife and kids. She told me on Valentine’s Day this year that she thought we would be better apart. This was the second time she told me this. The first time was on out 15 year anniversary. I fought to keep her the first time. Granted her wish the second time. Going thru and identity crisis. I let myself make bad financial decisions trying to keep my ex happy. I’m back on track financially now. 50/50 with the kids and focusing energy there but still lost on my purpose. I work. I workout every day. I don’t have any drive anymore though. Just kind of don’t see the point in the life we are told to lead. I did the formula. School, college, get a job, marriage, kids, dog, house, cars. Blah blah and now I’m a statistic. I want to break out and go. I want to live differently than the “little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky tacky”. But I just don’t know. Not interested in another relationship. All end up the same. Compromise by a thousand paper cuts until you “aren’t the person she fell in love with”. It’s like a cosmic joke
Sorry that happened to you with your wife and all, I’m in similar situation where the love is gone but we’re still together raising a pre teen and teen and gotta keep smiling for them, it’s hard…keep going,stay strong and explore what inspires you…I’m still trying to figure out my situation but I’m always thankful,grateful
I’m in the same boat, allways hustling for fear of lack. Now I’m making it a goal to have no goals, to throw away the clock and live in the moment. To clear my mind in the stillness and be still and see what comes up and what’s under that. I feel Gods presence more and more as my mind gets quiet. God, without all the religion and baggage. He’s real and good and peaceful.
You’re a good man. I’m glad you have found your perspective. Sorry about all the self-neglect you had to go through. The modern society is really destructive to the individual. Conform or get run over.
I retired in 2015 ( after what i term as ' Gulf burnout ' after working nearly 40 years in Dubai ) , and ever since it has been my intentional goal to do NOTHING ! I've grown spiritual and am now enjoying the Bliss ! My only activities are enjoying cooking at home , going out driving into town to do some shopping for groceries, spending a lot of time online pursuing my interests on RUclips, and enjoying the evenings watching the sunset followed by my ' happy hour ' evening drink of Gin n tonic or beer before dinner ! No better place to retire than the Philippines for me as I have a lovely filipina wife who takes care of every thing at home including our family business which helps put food on the table for all of our extended family.
Im in the same boat, making high six figures. Planning on leaving it all behind for freedom, spending more time with my kids. Work for myself instead of corporations.
We don't really want anything but a safer environment for our offspring. We as a human race want to get back in touch with more than the 5 senses we're limited to everyday. Incorporate some meditation during your leisure. The human body/mind has hidden features that we were never aware of. Developing those skills should be our first priority growing up. This world would be better for it. The next roadmap should be learning your spirit better and what it's capable of.
So many of us are living the husstle-struggle. I've been grinding for years and know the anxiety you mentioned when things stop. Thankfully with age we learn to understand (and hopefully accept) the creatures we are, the good and the ugly. A yearly trip to the mountains for a week of tech-free solitude is my own counter-measure. We are wired for the curves of nature! All these hard city lines are a source of this growing anxiety we all have! haha. Your video reminded me it's about that time to take a break :) Cheers brother, all the best on your adventures
I can feel your energy centering and grounding as you've gone from an unhealthy environment back to nature. Videos like this and people like you give me energy. Much love from VA!
Being around nature has been my place to heal and also reconnect with myself. I am glad to be able to transfer some of what I have harnessed from mother nature over to you. Please take care. Much love ❤️
I needed this video. Thank the algorithm for suggesting it. I recently was laid off from my 3rd job this year.. I've always been someone who bounced back and kept working. Never really getting ahead, but making money to pay the bills. But I'm burnt.. I'm lonely and tired. Missing friends I never could find time for who will never be there again, wishing I could spend more time with my family. I see them getting older now and I wonder how much quality time I have left. Do I want to go back to truck driving and make money, risk my life, health and time, for a little more money to pay bills on possessions that don't matter, or do I want to try and pursue a career in music again, even if it means I don't know where the next dollar will be, or when, but I'll be happier cus I'll be available to family and friends, and can try again at a dream/passion that ended abruptly years ago. Not sure what I'm gonna do but I really needed this video to help me pause a little more and think about it all..
You're speaking the truth ! I've also been wondering myself if I want to carry on hustling I'm in my early 30's... I've already accomplished enough I feel like now I just need financial security and I feel like I'm done with it all. I want to live not hustle.
This is a smart and goodly man!... as I watch this sitting at my desk at work.....its tuff not to just clock out for the day....we're so programmed!!! Often I work late an i work till 2 or 3 in the morning....when comming home at that time noone is on the roads at all an yet I find myself just sitting at a red light just because the light is the color red...noone around.....when that hit me....its completely changed the way i look at things....thats a person who has been programmed since birth.....no more tho!!!
A job honestly doesn’t gives you the time, space and opportunity to chase your dreams and achieve your goals. From personal experience i can tell you working a serious job is modern day slavery. they pay you a small amount for doing a significant amount of work and promises you promotion. Best advice make investments and take calculated risks that would guarantee your success.
This is really not as difficult as many people presume it to be. It requires a certain level of diligence, no doubt, which is something ordinary investors lack, and so a financial advisor often comes in very handy. That is how people are able to make such huge profits in the market.
The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment
I have worked with a few financial advisors before now but i ultimately settled for 'Annette Christine Conte'. She is SEC regulated and licensed in US. You can easily look her up
I agree with this gentleman. Just the view of the lake and the hills in the distance makes me feel at peace with myself. I know we all have to earn a living but it’s time we care more about the things that matter; inner peace, your health and happiness. Get off the corporate grind and start enjoying this great country of ours and treat people like you want to be treated. Amen Brutha! I’m all in! ❤
I am a medical student and I am going to be a doctor by July 2025. The whole medicine sector is all about hustling. Working from 7:00 till 18:00 everyday is no deal for many people I know. If they see their gf, wife or family for one hour per day, they are good. Some of my co-workers see their close ones only on weekends... Every day I see sick and old people. It is crazy to see that 75 years are completly different from person to person. Some are young and fit, other ones are close to death, mostly because of their life choices. I am 25 at the moment and I think about what my life will be like in a few years on a daily basis. The biggest fear I have right now is to be like many of my co-workers. I don't care about fame or money in the medical sector, I just want to do good and have a good life besides that. I don't want to be 65 years someday and realise, that I made the wrong life choices (Job, Friends, Partner,...). At the end of the day the most important thing we can achieve as humans is happiness imo. I still have much to learn about this life long lession, but I think that I am on the right track.
@@Super-lucky-7777 I am the first doctor in my family. My dad is a city gardener and my mom works at an office. I wouldn't say, that it was my dream, but I love it more and more everyday. It makes you feel good when you help people and make them feel better, forget the money.
Word brother. Don't care about what failures think. You probably oversuccess... or you're physically wounded that effects all men. Stay strong and healthy
Momento mori! It is so important to understand time is limited! You might assume you have time and then one day you discover you are so close to the end. Two heart attacks in 24 hours in my 50's was a huge wakeup to me.
I am like this. I am free, i have nothing that i cant take with me on the road, and I can go anywhere, and i am so happy. I just need food and cover. Im 66 female.😊
First of all happy birthday man I definitely feel your pain however here’s my story I’m a nice guy gave my whole heart to a woman in just 4 days of strong connection she felt I’m getting closer to her so she just disappeared left me shattered and the worst part is I don’t have her number or where she lives, my strong bond to her breaks me into pieces and everyday I’m looking for her in places we hangout, I just can’t forget about her everyday I wake her memories is right on my mind scattered all over my heart. I look for help but no therapist has ever achieved anything in-terms of being helpful. It’s been 3 months something is keep on pushing me to go out and look for her. My sister say my heart’s love is so genuine that she couldn’t resist but to leave, I’m so stuck in emotional trauma that reminded me of my childhood trauma when my parents dumped me and my sister on street. This girl really triggered my emotional abandonment. I hope she realizes her mistake and comes back to me so I can recover from the humongous pain she caused me Amin🙏🏼 In this case I don’t know how solve my issue because I lack confidence and suck at dating any girl all my teenage years to now 30s I don’t have a girlfriend so I asked myself am I meant to be alone if I’m pushing myself to get a girlfriend just looking for external love 😞
The hustle culture is crazy. Turns ppl into monsters
Not always.
It felt great in a positive, productive way in my 20s. Then I hit 30 and realized life is a blur and isn’t passing any slower
But if we don't we will get eaten. So there is no alternative
Monsters or soulless husks. The rest find a way to keep the mask on.
I was thinking deep about that the other day, and it's very similar to drug habit behavior.
“It doesn’t matter how expensive your watch is it can’t buy back time…and every day that passes is a day we never get back”. So true

I did nothing for 2 years. It was fun for a while then I got depressed. I've since learned it's about balance. We need to work, but a job we love. We need to contribute and make meaningful connections with other human beings. But we also need vacations and adventure. Like all things, it's about balance.
Every day being SATURDAY gets OLD. Retire for a few years and it becomes evident. The key is to really (not give a damn inside about whatever job you're at) Let all that stress go. Don't worry about being fired or whatever. It's sooooooo much easier. In your later years work part-time if you feel like it. Full time is torture. The end.
@plutoplatters I tend to think same when pondering meaning.. and existence itself. Maybe the Source (God, etc.) gets bored with itself. It is after all.. ONE. As in ALL ONE...A(l)LONE. So here "we" are. 🤷♂️
Like Alan Watts said:
Let's suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream that you wanted to dream. And that you could, for example, have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time. Or any length of time you wanted to have. And you would, naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes.
You would have every kind of pleasure you could conceive. And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each, you would say "Well, that was pretty great." But now let's have a surprise.
Let's have a dream which isn't under control. Where something is gonna happen to me that I don't know what it's going to be. And you would dig that and come out of that and say "Wow, that was a close shave, wasn't it?" And then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream.
And finally, you would dream ... where you are now. You would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today.
That would be within the infinite multiplicity of choices you would have. Of playing that you weren't God, because the whole nature of the godhead, according to this idea, is to play that he is not.
So in this idea then, everybody is fundamentally the ultimate reality, not God in a politically kingly sense, but god in the sense of being the self, the deep-down basic whatever there is. And you are all that, only you are pretending you are not. 🙃✌️
@@plutoplatters I can only speak as someone that has genuinely found a job I love.
Eh, you got depressed because you let yourself. "Work" can mean working/volunteerung for your various communities. No, no one needs to have a job in order to not get depressed. There is just too much to learn and love in this world to get depressed about having the time and peace to do it. And you probably took do nothing too literally.
Well I took a. 3 month sabbatical, I started to grow my own plants and it was pretty nice, I work now but I really enjoyed my time without work
6 years ago, after grinding hard for 40 years, I finally burned out. Self employed since 18 years old chasing the dream, married to a person who didn't love me back, supporting her the best that I could, house 1 block from a private country club, nice SUV's, 2 vacations a year and financially supported her family as well and then Covid arrived. My business took a hit, my covert narcissist wife who is now my ex pushed me harder instead of offering support so, I filed for divorce and placed our house on the market. I've been doing nothing but reflect and learn since and although I do enjoy the down time, I have no intentions to fully stop pursuing my dreams but its good to finally take a rest.
Rob, glad to hear you have scaled back in all areas. Now you can decide what and how you see yourself living. Free time isn't a sin, but remember to keep a hobby, it saves the day as you get much older. Good success to you. 😊
@@SpaceCadet4Jesus Thank you for your thoughtful comment! I do have a few hobbies but they cost money so, I'll need to go back to work to finance them. Fortunately, I enjoy what I do for work so it's almost like a hobby. I just won't burn the candle at both ends this go around. All the best to you!
Sorry brother. I could be reading my life story. Pretty much exactly what happened to me. I know the feeling. I don't know what comes first. The burn out or the realization that your wife doesn't really love you. But it happened to me too. Worked so hard I got a heart problem at 40. Kept on going. At 47 dystonia. Couldn't work anymore. Wife was somehow gone emotionally. Refused sex already for years. Eventually she stopped talking. Silent treatment for 3 years. Imagine that. She also looked down on me because I couldn't work as hard anymore. I tried though. Just couldn't do it anymore. Tried to solve it but she didn't want to. She filed for divorce. She took our business. Got rewarded a small sum in court but no energy to start again. Burn out will do that to you. Have to figure out a way to make it out of the bay area. Too expensive here. It will be the death of me.
@@robmcguckin7605let me guess… cars

I’m a burned out emergency physician at age 60. Spent 22 years in Air National Guard deploying all over the world as a flight surgeon on my “spare time”. Literally have had one weekend off a month for the last 20 years. It’s taken me 60 years to discover what you have figured out. I love spending time alone doing nothing and regret my life that was wasted. Enjoy watching your videos!
God bless you I'm starting my life over at 44 years old after being addicted to heroin for 20 years before that I was a firefighter had four years in the department but got dependent on oxycontin because of eight surgeries which then went to heroin.

Being a 47 year old Asian guy also, life was all about education, work, raising family.
Now that both kids are in college and don't really need me, I am also ready to step away from the corporate world.
I've ignored myself for too long, I don't need much. Simply sitting by the water, waiting all day for a bite and watching the minnows swim by is fine for me in my book.
You deserve peace, brother
I understand because I am in the same situation. Hope it's going to get easier for now. Be careful making new life changing decisions. Where you live. Your partner too. Give yourself time to recuperate. Hope you find something that gives joy and that doesn't drain your energy. A good balance.

This story I heard helped me to realize it's about perspective. - A rich man went to Mexico for vacation and saw a Mexican fisherman catching a lot of fish. So the rich man said you could get a business LLC and sell fish for money. The Mexican man said then what do I do next? The rich man said then you get the company on the stock market and people will trade for your value of the company. Then the Mexican man said oh what do I do next? The rich man said then you sell your company after 20+ years. Then the Mexican man said what next? The rich man said I guess you get to retire and go fishing. Then the Mexican said.. Oh so you do all that just to retire. I guess I am retired because I am already getting to go fishing...
But your retirement benefits depends on how much you worked, age, etc
And u still need money for real estate expenses, utilities, food, transportation, medical, etc
Exactly
@@raymondlin8728they fool you with this nonsense story

I’ve given so much of my life to working just to stay alive. I wasn’t even living. Just existing.
I quit the corporate world in August. I finally have peace in my life. It finally belongs to me to just observe, breathe, and absorb.

But how can you effort life tho? At least the essentials ?
@ I’m an options trader now selling calls and puts online. It’s called the wheel strategy, you can RUclips it. I work about 3 hours a day and make plenty to live.
Peace is so undervalued
You're on the right track. Five years ago i sold my home and almost all my possessions. Hit the road with a truck and small utility trailer that contained everything i owned. My only direction was driving west, did so for eight months camping all the way. I have found that living with less and enjoying life more is where it's at in my opinion
You have achieved success in this insane Society.

Very well said.
I feel the same. For so long people have suppressed their real and raw true emotions. The corporate world for me was quite abusive at every turn, and even academia. It’s like society has become so toxic.

What was once important in the morning is no longer relevant in the afternoon.
Very true, so we need to appreciate the time we still have left and and focus on what truly matters most.
That says it all really doesn't it
Yeah because I got it done…

Poignant words. I fear most might take this to mean that what was in the morning should never have been valued as important, but I think that'd be a hasty conclusion. We deemed it necessary in the morning but it has since served its purpose. Time to move on.
I moved to Alaska and we enjoy the slower pace of life up here. Go to work, enjoy the scenery, eat, read, drink coffee, and just enjoy life.

41 yrs. Most of my life i've been stressing about something. Mostly about what's coming next. I still do that, a lot. I got so used to always thinking that even when i'm completely "blank" (as you put it) i feel like I'm not okay, when in reality this is the best feeling you can have, the feeling of no feeling. No stress, no sadness, not even happiness, just nothing. I believe this is the closest we can get to blissfulness/enlightenment as mere mortals. Wish you all the best.

@castrofiasco888 Just remember to be your own best friend. Don't judge yourself too much. We're here for a limited time as this body and mind. Might aswell love ourselves more and have more simpathy for ourselves. There's nothing wrong with you. Just sit, breathe and relax. Clear your mind. You're good!
When you take time and listen to people, you can see how we are all hurting from this culture. Sometimes when I see an African village it makes me sad, because of what they have that we dont. I can only imagine how cool it would be to play barefoot soccer in the rain with your friends, surviving off the land and being fully immersed in your community. I am so tired of grinding, being alone and constantly going up hill and quite honestly I dont think its just me. I am not depressed, I just dont feel like driving in the wrong direction so often.
And that's why they are destroying rainforests, tribal lands and woodlands 😢
Hustle culture is an extreme we should avoid, but idleness is another extreme we ought to be wary of. We need a happy middle. The Greeks understood moderation.
Totally agree bro, I feel I can grind for ever because I don't work too hard and take it easy at all times.
That just goes for everything in life, everything must be balanced
Understandable however what if someone said to you work really hard to make your dreams a reality what would you do than?
No happy middle exists in late-stage capitalism. It's only getting worse.

" I Got Sick And Tired Of Always Hustling So Now I Just Do Nothing " the words of a wise man
Are you going down the right path? The way I see it, you created enough space to see your priorities clearly. I'm sure your next career move will be on your own terms.
I left the corporate workforce at 49 (sometimes the universe gives us a push, in my case my mother's illness). No regrets.
Wise video. My daughter is 23 now and I’d give anything to go to a carnival with her again when she was 6 or 7 years old. That aside, I’m sitting in my living room resting in relative silence. Sure, prior to leaving the work world at 57 I had those moments BUT, I was clinging to them. Not anymore, these moments of staring at the sky, not having to be anywhere are no longer rushed or clung to, they are part of me. Money issues rear their head sometimes but that was the trade off. The mental and physical stress I’ve endured took its toll. Yes, tired of the rat race. I found a little slice of life. Hope it’s lasts.
It’s nice to see people are starting to realize what is really important to them and not what was told to us what’s important. Soon people with make a choice in life intelligently based on what they really want.
If we hustle how we supposed to pay for roof and food which are the essentials?

Can you delve deeper into the bird analogy?
@@SpiriTxDOUGHBOY the day you teach a kid a name of the bird it won't see that bird never again.
It's because firstly it sees something alive and vibrant and someone says that's sparrow and kid learns that. Next time they are going for a walk again and there is similar bird to the one they have seen the other day and kid says oh that's sparrow I know them, I am bored with a sparrows.

There is a lot of power in doing nothing, but many won’t admit it because it takes courage and strength to be able to just sit on your own alone with your own thoughts. For some people it is enough to drive them crazy, perhaps because they don’t like who they are, but those who can master that technique will become truly enlightened individuals.

Love this video, man. Im in the same boat at the age of 32. I'm content with very little at this point, knowing it can end at any moment. Slowing down is how you speed up.
Man you are still young and still got time to do a course correction. Sometimes we just have to pull over and check that map before we run out of gas. Good luck on your journey 🙏
32 here too and same here bud. The world has gotten out of control. Lost my job back in March. Best thing to ever happen to me. Spending unfettered time with yourself is how you get to know yourself. Sometimes Time needs to take it's "TIME".... Prayers and blessings to you 🙏
@BruceL33Roy yeah, man. Even if it takes a year or 2, as long as I am making some progress and doing what I enjoy, that is what I am aiming for the next year of my life. Have a job at a gym right now but was self-employed for the longest. I've tried over a hundred jobs, and I like being at the gym taking care of myself and being paid for that and only focusing on my health at this point. Dont even care how much I make for now. I just want to do what I want to do, work out, and eat the best and master that part of my life.
@@BruceL33Roy Lost my job too been out of work for 3 years now and am just now dealing with a lot of worries for my future...
You’re right. Our society focuses on 9-5 work work work, and we hardly get a time to enjoy life and break off from the norm. I can see why reverting to nature is liberating, though it can also be dangerous
You’re in a good place. Listen to your heart.
Im 33 now and I reached the point you’re at at 30. So, I’ve been on this journey for 3 years. Until society gets its act together, I’m done. I’m not contributing anymore unless it benefits me. I have so many skills and plans for my future now.
The good news is that you are still young and have lots of time ahead of you. I hope you, too, will soon find the place where you belong and be happy. Take care ❤️
When you do things "only for yourself," you've left the path of wisdom. If you want society to "get its act together," go out and be the change you want to see. It's not on everyone else but you.
That is gold.. i feel happy when i see people waking up and self reflecting
55 yrs old here and I remember going to bed in my 20s woke up and was in my 50s that’s how fast time goes . I quit my job in May this year sick to death of dead lines , targets oh the list went on best thing I ever did but I do point out to people my own circumstances allowed me to do it go back 3 yrs or so I could have not done it . And everyone is on their own journey in life and I got to the stage where I don’t give a fuck what people think so long as I’m happy and getting on with it , I’m not really a inspirational quote type of person but two things I go by.
With every kick in the face and every hurdle you pass the rewards get greater .
And
Have a good old moan and move on.
I have applied to work in a supermarket part time know few people who quit high paying jobs and have done this , as they keep telling me they are broke but happy meaning not earning no where near the money they earned from previous job . All the best for the future can only move forward .
In the end, you either give all of your money to your children, your nursing home, or the funeral home. Although all three will take everything that you have, only the funeral home will ensure that you leave this world with dignity and respect.
This reminds us that while we can plan for our legacy, the way we are remembered is ultimately shaped by the love and care we showed in life.
54 and contemplating full time life perhaps in Malaysia or Albania. 😅
I've been fasting 3 days now. I feel the serenity, and I see you.
True freedom!
Getting back in touch with nature as we naturally should be… it just feels right.. and peaceful. Much love 🙏🏻
There's something about being alone in nature that helps us reconnect with ourselves and be at peace. Thank you and please take good care of yourself as well 🙏
When the wants stops being meaningful and just needs are the only priority in life. Life becomes more meaningful and serenity is your happiness and joy in life.
Yeeeh🎉
Bro just threw his hands up and said "AIIIGHT IM DONE BYEEE". Chad move.
Peace is priceless! I've had to let go of the people in my life realizing the narcissism and competition that was present instead of meaningful connection and joy for life. Had to process the grief and reconnect with myself but it's so much better than what was!
The never good enough culture is brutal and tons of stuff doesn't make it better. It's just more to keep up with!
Thanks for this meaningful experience and beautiful views!Enjoy life as much as possible!
Letting go can be so hard, but choosing peace and reconnecting with yourself is such a powerful journey. You're absolutely right more stuff doesn't bring joy, but meaningful moments and connections do. Wishing you endless happiness and peacefulness❤️
3 things that helped me and literally changed my life
1. i stopped telling myself ill do it tomorrow
2. i read the book the cosmic wealth frequenices on borlest
3. i had faith and religion
Immense Gratitude, you are achieving Zen my friend, welcome to the Tao...just go with the flow.
Thank you brother. I’m going to listen to this many times. I feel and hope you’ve brought a start to me living at 51 years old. Stay safe.
I'm 53 -- and it's the same with me..... life is a journey -- we need to stop & smell the roses -- never enuf time
I don't think it's ever too late for any of us to start realizing that the path we took was not the one meant for us. Sometimes it's better to do nothing than to keep going down the same path of self destruction as it was in my case. I hope you will find that peaceful destination where we all belong. Thanks.
Amazing chat bud. I’m only 22 but I can somewhat relate. University, my 4 internships, past dedications to university business clubs, and my part-time investment management job have led me to burn out. This whole time I followed the expectations of society and desired external validation. I ONLY JUST REALIZED NOW THAT EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE IN MY LIFE WAS NEVER ABOUT ME!!! It was about everyone else! I used to have so much fun learning new things until it became a matter of researching certain topics just so then I don’t seem boring to others. I’m too focused on what other people think about me that I cannot live my life properly. I just want to be me.
I also appreciate that quote about being empty before being full. I have to start over and assess what matters to me.
1) Running long distances is one of my favourite things to do. Could only do 3km back in May and worked myself up to 21km by September. Going to sign up for a local half marathon once we get the chance
2) Fingerstyle guitar is another hobby of mine. Unfortunately I’ve become too critical of myself during practice sessions for music theory. I need to tell myself that it’s ok to not know music theory inside out yet. Just play and have fun. When it’s not fun anymore, put it down!
3) Growing plants. My family owns greenhouses and that’s how we’ve made our fortune. It’s a thankless job and doesn’t pay great but it’s what I love. Maybe I won’t be as respected as an investment banker, but that’s fine. - I can’t rely on external validation anymore. Talked things over with my dad after watching this video and decided I’m going to work there starting in March. This gives me some time to calm down and start from scratch.
Thanks so much man, you’ve helped me craft my next steps!
Trust me, when you work in investment banking, most are miserable and they just use the title to try to sound impressive to others - I worked at Goldman sachs and Deutsche Bank for 6 years. Now run my own startup software company in AI that I love and do it from my house in Spain next to the beach. Life is peaceful and enjoyable. There are many ways to make good salary, while also doing what you love.
Resigned at 55 after my company went woke. I planned on 59.5 but I realized I had enough to die on. Now I’m the 5 year old again with no f’s to give except my sons.
I call it you quit while you were ahead. I wish I did. I waited until it got to the point where I was burnout to quit. Enjoy your time with your sons.
Your life is beautiful, raw, and authentic. I appreciate you.
Live basic life and you will be fine.Person dose not need evrithing in life.Just time and peace.I live basic life for years.
You are a wise man. I resonate with pretty much everything you said. People get too caught up in making money and meanwhile they miss the one true valuable thing they have - their life. They go on collecting money and power, and forget to live life.
And soon enough death comes and takes away all their money and power. So in the end, you only lose… your time, your energy and your money. And when you see it, you made it to retirement, but you’re too old and too tired to enjoy your life…
To be honest, I’ve been wanting to take that leap but I don’t have your courage yet. It’s scary. I congratulate people like you for taking the courage to breaking out of the matrix. I know it’s not easy.
Just don’t worry, the divine is guiding you on your path. Thank you so much for sharing your story, and I wish you all the best in your life and journey!
You're right. A person's life does not consist in the abundance of things that they own.
Same here. I want to take the leap, but courage or something makes me hesitate.
@@CurtisMoe Yes, I think maybe it’s because we know we can’t go back, and the uncertainty… but I guess we should learn to overcome this fear…
Man I feel you. And I feel what you're saying.
Welcome to a new earth.
I am about to turn 50, and your message resonates with me. Problem is, doing nothing gets old quickly too
YOU MISSED THE POINT. WE WORK NON STOP AND THE DAY WE GET OFF. WE HOME RESTING THATS THE RAT RACE. YOU DONT TRAVEL. NOR DO YOU HAVE NICE MEMORIES
Lol black and white thinking. You don't need to work all day but normies can't seem to conceptualize that. It's called moderation
@@leelunk8235 I got the point, and yes the corporate world sucks. Thing is, I talk with retired and semi-retired people. Many of them travel, go fishing or hunting, but they are not necessarily happier, and some of them return to full-time jobs. It's a very fine line between freedom and feeling useless/board
@theelephant2887 FACTS
@theelephant2887 because your friends minds are broken. They didn't get bored because there arent an endless number of ways to enjoy nature. They got bored with the toys they could afford on retirement.
Incredible message. I just turned 40 this year and am going through very similar things. My husband left me and my girls on new years this year, and it was one of the best things that could’ve happened, I couldn’t be where I am now if I were still married to him
Way to go❤❤🎉 God bless🙏
it's good to be aware of anxiety, I think Bruce Lee's book mentioned the idea to sit with it, that is the way to be rid of it
I can totally relate to this. I made a similar video about stepping away from a toxic job and environment, and how it changed my perspective on life. Like you mentioned, the constant hustle can cloud your vision of what really matters. I realized I had to slow down and prioritize my own well-being, instead of chasing external validation. It’s so important to take that moment to reflect and ask, 'What do I really want?' Thanks for sharing this message - it's a powerful reminder to live in the present and not just rush through life.
This is rich and quality. Thank you for sharing this. I feel the same way. I always say people work to get money to get happiness but they are miserable doing it so sometimes the point is gone.
Man... I'm 45. I went through a similar experience about a year ago. I had been in the same industry for 18 years, the same job for 13. Time at my current job had come to a close. Six months before that, I had started a new relationship with a woman with a small daughter. I also have a daughter, who is now 14... I love her so much. I cherish, more than any single thing, the years when she was young. In 2015, I had a goal to take prerequisites to eventually get into PA school...I went for two semesters, giving it everything I could, a time which meant I had to tell my 5 year old daughter "no" when she wanted to spend time with me. After those two semesters, which I attacked full bore, shooting for straight A's, while being a full time medical device rep, I didn't want to do it anymore. I chose a relationship with my daughter over going to school and a future career as a PA. That is one decision I have never regretted... I loved every damn minute I spent with my daughter. It was the best time in my whole life. Then Covid hit, and before I knew it, she stopped being a little girl. Now, she's 14, and is mostly at her Mom's (I get her a whole 4 days a month).
But, back to 18 months ago, I thought that by focusing on my new partner and her daughter, I was doing the right thing. I helped her through a custody battle, and did what I believed were the right things that a good man should do. Despite all of the effort, she ended things a little over a month ago. It hit me incredibly hard. Some of the worst pain of my life losing her, and that little girl, who by that time had long since started calling me Dad.
Going from having a family to being totally alone, has been a kind of pain I never thought I'd experience at this stage of my life. I miss them so much. But, also, being alone, has forced me to confront myself, and where I am in life. It has forced me to be honest about the changing role of men in relationships, and in the workplace. Where I live, there aren't many opportunities in the job market... It has been a long stare into the great abyss... facing the reality that, a man, once he no longer produces, is disposable. Our culture is so fixated on women and opportunities equaling that of men.. I don't think it pays any attention to men. It's "adapt or survive"... and in life, sometimes that means choosing between being the father you want to be for 4 days a month, or forsaking that for an opportunity at something different. So much of my purpose was taking care of the girls in my life... but, I discovered that my value to them was only as much as I earned. That is an incredibly painful thing to come to terms with. But, it's also freeing, to a point. I don't know what I'm going to do, exactly. But, like you, I want it to be something that pushes me to do it with vigor and passion... traditionally that has meant other people. Now, I am faced with doing for myself and only myself..and as much as I want others to motivate me, that simply isn't an option.
One bit of advice: spend as much time as possible with your daughter. You'll never regret it. Ever. It does go so quickly... soak up all of it you can.... time with her, and your wife... indulge in it. You just never know when life is going to come along and have its own plans with you.
Definitely a good father ❤
💯 my daughter is 17 now. I walked away from every big opportunity if it looked like the trade off was neglecting that diminishing time with her. Stay up man, teenagers are really hard. 14 - 16 especially tough. I promise she doesn't think your only value is your earnings potential tho. Stay available and present and pretty soon no custody agreement can get between you guys. It will happen fast
@@SamRexfordI can't make her mother a reasonable person. I have no control over whether her mom is a controlling narcissist. The courts here in New Mexico are awful and corrupt. I wish this story had a happy ending. But, my prime earning years are dwindling away, and as much as I would love to have financial & professional opportunities come my way, the reality in this state is I will very likely have to create them myself.
As for my daughter... She has been brainwashed like so many other young girls... and 4 days vs 26 with her Mom is... it's lip service. It's enough time for her Mom to say, "She sees her Dad", and then, when our relationship withers, she can tell our daughter, "I had the same experience with my Dad. I know how it is..." She is a sick woman. But, sick narcissistic people like herself will never admit they have a problem. They just ruin the lives of the people around them.
@@SamRexfordI begged her Mom for *years* for more time with her. It only resulted in less. Her Mom is a sick, fucked up human being who thinks because she has a good job, that makes the rest of her good, too. I can see into the past, how she was made from her Dad not being present when she was a little girl... she used to accuse me of being him... of saying I was going to leave them... Then *she* leaves... and now, she's making our daughter into her... which is so incredibly sick...and Democrats control the fucking courts in this shit state. This is what it results in... But, she will never admit to, or take accountability for any of this.
@@CalmBeforeTheStorm76 I've been thru something extremely similar it sounds like. If you ever need someone to chop it up with over fatherhood, courts, daughters, life, reach out. I'm easy to find online.
How lucky you are to leave your job and chill. I live in the caribbean and we cant do that. Its unthinkable because how we gonna live? Appreciate the solitude you have.
Been out of work for about three months traveled Eastern Europe just got back from Southeast Asia. I understand it’s tough as we get older.
Wow that's super cool. I would love to travel like that one day and see the world from another perspective. I hope you had a good break and will find that next dream job soon. Good luck my friend 🙏
I rejoice in you having the freedom to stop your life to have this experience.
So many of us would be better off healthwise, mentally and physically, creatively and spiritually, if we recognized periods of solitude, stillness, and rest as important as times of activity and accomplishment.
May we all find that regardless of outer circumstances.
You sir are an inspiration, very well worded and eloquent. I'm on this journey too as of recently and the world is now slowly opening up!
Happy birthday man. Just take a breath and everything will fall in place
Thank you. I am trying to slow down and breath in the free and fresh air everyday.
I’m 51. 3 kids. Everything I ever did was for my wife and kids. She told me on Valentine’s Day this year that she thought we would be better apart. This was the second time she told me this. The first time was on out 15 year anniversary. I fought to keep her the first time. Granted her wish the second time. Going thru and identity crisis. I let myself make bad financial decisions trying to keep my ex happy. I’m back on track financially now. 50/50 with the kids and focusing energy there but still lost on my purpose. I work. I workout every day. I don’t have any drive anymore though. Just kind of don’t see the point in the life we are told to lead.
I did the formula. School, college, get a job, marriage, kids, dog, house, cars. Blah blah and now I’m a statistic. I want to break out and go. I want to live differently than the “little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky tacky”. But I just don’t know. Not interested in another relationship. All end up the same. Compromise by a thousand paper cuts until you “aren’t the person she fell in love with”. It’s like a cosmic joke
Sorry that happened to you with your wife and all, I’m in similar situation where the love is gone but we’re still together raising a pre teen and teen and gotta keep smiling for them, it’s hard…keep going,stay strong and explore what inspires you…I’m still trying to figure out my situation but I’m always thankful,grateful
That bruce lee quote got me. That is exactly where im at in life. Thanks for the video
I’m in the same boat, allways hustling for fear of lack. Now I’m making it a goal to have no goals, to throw away the clock and live in the moment. To clear my mind in the stillness and be still and see what comes up and what’s under that. I feel Gods presence more and more as my mind gets quiet. God, without all the religion and baggage. He’s real and good and peaceful.
If you want to fill your cup you must empty it What an incredible quote by Bruce Lee and thank you for sharing that with me
Happy Birthday 🥳!!! Love from Melbourne Australia!!! Greek background. We love all Vietnamese here in Australia 🇦🇺!!!
You’re a good man. I’m glad you have found your perspective. Sorry about all the self-neglect you had to go through. The modern society is really destructive to the individual. Conform or get run over.
I retired in 2015 ( after what i term as ' Gulf burnout ' after working nearly 40 years in Dubai ) , and ever since it has been my intentional goal to do NOTHING ! I've grown spiritual and am now enjoying the Bliss ! My only activities are enjoying cooking at home , going out driving into town to do some shopping for groceries, spending a lot of time online pursuing my interests on RUclips, and enjoying the evenings watching the sunset followed by my ' happy hour ' evening drink of Gin n tonic or beer before dinner ! No better place to retire than the Philippines for me as I have a lovely filipina wife who takes care of every thing at home including our family business which helps put food on the table for all of our extended family.
Thank you so much for this video. This was deep, and I appreciate you opening up to help others realize the same brother.
Doing nothing and feeling blessfull ❤😊 just listening at you .
Follow your heart, listen to your soul. Continue to LIVE.
Im in the same boat, making high six figures. Planning on leaving it all behind for freedom, spending more time with my kids. Work for myself instead of corporations.
You’ll get right back on the same boat.
If you work for yourself.
You need to generate work, sales, work yourself, when the money stops, you need to work extra.
It’s a trap. Haha.
@@bassibernie Probably.
@@bassibernie true the fact you even have to work means you fuccd before the game even started.
We don't really want anything but a safer environment for our offspring. We as a human race want to get back in touch with more than the 5 senses we're limited to everyday. Incorporate some meditation during your leisure. The human body/mind has hidden features that we were never aware of. Developing those skills should be our first priority growing up. This world would be better for it. The next roadmap should be learning your spirit better and what it's capable of.
So many of us are living the husstle-struggle. I've been grinding for years and know the anxiety you mentioned when things stop. Thankfully with age we learn to understand (and hopefully accept) the creatures we are, the good and the ugly. A yearly trip to the mountains for a week of tech-free solitude is my own counter-measure. We are wired for the curves of nature! All these hard city lines are a source of this growing anxiety we all have! haha.
Your video reminded me it's about that time to take a break :) Cheers brother, all the best on your adventures
This kept popping up on my feed. I finally gave it a listen. Glad I did. Thanks for sharing.
The art of letting go...
I can feel your energy centering and grounding as you've gone from an unhealthy environment back to nature. Videos like this and people like you give me energy. Much love from VA!
Being around nature has been my place to heal and also reconnect with myself. I am glad to be able to transfer some of what I have harnessed from mother nature over to you. Please take care. Much love ❤️
I needed this video. Thank the algorithm for suggesting it. I recently was laid off from my 3rd job this year.. I've always been someone who bounced back and kept working. Never really getting ahead, but making money to pay the bills. But I'm burnt.. I'm lonely and tired. Missing friends I never could find time for who will never be there again, wishing I could spend more time with my family.
I see them getting older now and I wonder how much quality time I have left. Do I want to go back to truck driving and make money, risk my life, health and time, for a little more money to pay bills on possessions that don't matter, or do I want to try and pursue a career in music again, even if it means I don't know where the next dollar will be, or when, but I'll be happier cus I'll be available to family and friends, and can try again at a dream/passion that ended abruptly years ago. Not sure what I'm gonna do but I really needed this video to help me pause a little more and think about it all..
for matter of fact you're creating content which is really profuctive
The best Guru is No Guru. Good sometimes to just stop and take stock. Nice words :)
Man I understand I’m tired of this
You're speaking the truth ! I've also been wondering myself if I want to carry on hustling I'm in my early 30's... I've already accomplished enough I feel like now I just need financial security and I feel like I'm done with it all. I want to live not hustle.
This is a smart and goodly man!... as I watch this sitting at my desk at work.....its tuff not to just clock out for the day....we're so programmed!!! Often I work late an i work till 2 or 3 in the morning....when comming home at that time noone is on the roads at all an yet I find myself just sitting at a red light just because the light is the color red...noone around.....when that hit me....its completely changed the way i look at things....thats a person who has been programmed since birth.....no more tho!!!
Opening the space inside you is required for what is meant to come in
Very inspirational message. I’m glad you were able to share this with us. 🙏
People doubt oneself too much nowadays
Peace is something every man should seek
A job honestly doesn’t gives you the time, space and opportunity to chase your dreams and achieve your goals. From personal experience i can tell you working a serious job is modern day slavery. they pay you a small amount for doing a significant amount of work and promises you promotion. Best advice make investments and take calculated risks that would guarantee your success.
This is really not as difficult as many people presume it to be. It requires a certain level of diligence, no doubt, which is something ordinary investors lack, and so a financial advisor often comes in very handy. That is how people are able to make such huge profits in the market.
The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment
@@Dantursi1 Could you kindly elaborate on the advisor's background and qualifications?
I have worked with a few financial advisors before now but i ultimately settled for 'Annette Christine Conte'. She is SEC regulated and licensed in US. You can easily look her up
Thanks a lot for this recommendation. I just looked her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
Thank you brother I needed this video this video was right on time, while I was feeling like I was wrestling with God!
Hustle culture killed me man, thanks for this
I agree with this gentleman. Just the view of the lake and the hills in the distance makes me feel at peace with myself. I know we all have to earn a living but it’s time we care more about the things that matter; inner peace, your health and happiness. Get off the corporate grind and start enjoying this great country of ours and treat people like you want to be treated. Amen Brutha! I’m all in! ❤
I am a medical student and I am going to be a doctor by July 2025. The whole medicine sector is all about hustling. Working from 7:00 till 18:00 everyday is no deal for many people I know. If they see their gf, wife or family for one hour per day, they are good. Some of my co-workers see their close ones only on weekends...
Every day I see sick and old people. It is crazy to see that 75 years are completly different from person to person. Some are young and fit, other ones are close to death, mostly because of their life choices.
I am 25 at the moment and I think about what my life will be like in a few years on a daily basis. The biggest fear I have right now is to be like many of my co-workers. I don't care about fame or money in the medical sector, I just want to do good and have a good life besides that.
I don't want to be 65 years someday and realise, that I made the wrong life choices (Job, Friends, Partner,...).
At the end of the day the most important thing we can achieve as humans is happiness imo. I still have much to learn about this life long lession, but I think that I am on the right track.
What made you get into being a doctor? Family by any chance or was it actually you that wanted that life.
Graduate. Become a doctor. Make a positive impact to the world.
@@LuckyNikitaBoba good lucky brother
@@Super-lucky-7777
I am the first doctor in my family. My dad is a city gardener and my mom works at an office.
I wouldn't say, that it was my dream, but I love it more and more everyday.
It makes you feel good when you help people and make them feel better, forget the money.
Word brother. Don't care about what failures think. You probably oversuccess... or you're physically wounded that effects all men. Stay strong and healthy
We're all going through something like this. Particularly men from what I can tell.
Momento mori! It is so important to understand time is limited! You might assume you have time and then one day you discover you are so close to the end. Two heart attacks in 24 hours in my 50's was a huge wakeup to me.
Exactly. "Memento Mori!" - I had a heart attack in the office in my mid 40s, then the perspective changed.
I am like this. I am free, i have nothing that i cant take with me on the road, and I can go anywhere, and i am so happy. I just need food and cover. Im 66 female.😊
Great video...your defently doing some soul searching. Life is a quick ride, with lot's to ponder about.
First of all happy birthday man I definitely feel your pain however here’s my story
I’m a nice guy gave my whole heart to a woman in just 4 days of strong connection she felt I’m getting closer to her so she just disappeared left me shattered and the worst part is I don’t have her number or where she lives, my strong bond to her breaks me into pieces and everyday I’m looking for her in places we hangout, I just can’t forget about her everyday I wake her memories is right on my mind scattered all over my heart. I look for help but no therapist has ever achieved anything in-terms of being helpful. It’s been 3 months something is keep on pushing me to go out and look for her. My sister say my heart’s love is so genuine that she couldn’t resist but to leave, I’m so stuck in emotional trauma that reminded me of my childhood trauma when my parents dumped me and my sister on street. This girl really triggered my emotional abandonment. I hope she realizes her mistake and comes back to me so I can recover from the humongous pain she caused me Amin🙏🏼
In this case I don’t know how solve my issue because I lack confidence and suck at dating any girl all my teenage years to now 30s I don’t have a girlfriend so I asked myself am I meant to be alone if I’m pushing myself to get a girlfriend just looking for external love 😞
Amen brother. I retire in 59 weeks at age 54. I'm tremendously excited to be able to live.
Thank you. This resonated and I am optimistic about out futures. Keep enjoying the solitude and nature. Be kind to yourself.
