In college back in 85’ I’ve always told my homies never be stagnant. Keep pushing forward and taking the next step in every facet of life. Now at 56 and about to retire in June, life about to turn up. In the meantime, I’ve been remarried for 5 yrs and have a 3yr old son. Became a professional photographer. Now it’s time for me to be home and show him the way to success , God is great and always give back.
Damn I’m behind in so many of these. It’s only through the grace of The Most High that’s I’m not rock bottom. But now I can see where I need to Improve.
Definitely a jagged pill for me. I've reached retirement age and am still behind. I've managed to neglect my health and have lost one leg. My finances never improved and i failed to aquire a sustainable skill. Right now I'm pretty much just waiting for the clock to run out. Wish i would've had this list 40 yrs ago. Good talk.
I lost my leg above knee in a car accident about 15 years ago. I have kids and I’m married. I’m 44. As I age, I become more and more aware of how little time I have left. As well as how much time I wasted. My purpose I thought was to go into the ministry. I don’t have as skill or trade, and I hope to better myself everyday. 🙏🏾ing for you sir..
There's people that graduate college way older than you every year and it's absolutely not too late to learn a trade. Many cities offer free programs that teach skills like auto mechanics, welding, IT, real estate etc. 44 is still young and not too late to get your health together. Create a plan and follow it. Wish you the very best!!!
At 47 years old I definitely feel like my life is empty. I'm at a job where I feel like I have no room for growth. Just working paycheck to paycheck only to pay my debts. I try to workout whether it's weight lifting, walking the trail which is my only daily motivation. I know and I'm trying to make better decisions with lifestyle choices as far as family issues, mental health, relationships with friends and dating females. It's a daily struggle but I'm not going to give up.
The circle of friends that are around you, really defines who you are. Birds of the same feather flock together. That saying is so true. Thanks O.G. and salute 🙏🏾
@PaulProsperInvestments and sometimes for someone like me, best thing I ever did was rocking alone and cut off all the so called friends that were holding me back and its so much better
Great topic. "Life's milestones" have been on my mind recently. I turned 40 last year and both of my parents have passed, and sometimes I find myself comparing where I am now to where they were at my age.
Feel you bro. Find your nature and be more you. Comparison is the thief of time. Milestones can be achieved in their honor and spirit and its different times with different measurables and choices. We can live longer as well and we lead different lives. Its still your to go for!!
This is a great topic that deserves further exploration. I tried starting my own business and had some success, but I made the mistake of trusting the wrong people resulting in financial loss. Now I am rebuilding. This often made me feel like I was falling behind, creating anxiety and depression. After serious, self reflection, and looking within,I found the realization that it’s OK to make mistakes. Most importantly, men don’t fail they stop trying. Keep fighting, believing in yourself and keep growing. Peace and blessings to all.
Not at all - Just look at Trump did it,...or not! Seek better advice, but whatever you do - don't give up nor give in. You're mainstream, so keep swimming in the right direction.
Man I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this video. You spoke to everything I’ve been thinking about for the past two months. Am I behind? Comparing myself to others and self growth and progression. Thank you for this encouragement and enlightenment and please keep this positive content going!!!
One thing for sure is I got outta shape. In my early 20s I was shredded im now 31 with hip osteoarthritis from running and kickboxing but I know most of my hip issues is because I let myself go. Now I'm back on the grind and I'm feeling that same feeling of obsession again. Meal prepping and holding myself accountable for staying active in the best way I can with the pain and Physical therapy I will get that back and be better than ever
Great video! I’m 72 years old and these are great suggestions… fortunately, I’m in a good place… single, never married , no kids, healthy, have a nice portfolio, friends, do four International trips a year.. have some regrets and disappoints but we all do…
@@TheStyleOGThis video really struck a cord with many of your subscribers, so many of us are in a rut and it really hurts but as men we just told to "man up" A lot of us are doing our best but still feel down and out. We suffer silently.
@@tone2106suffering silently is not healthy seek help if you need it and heck cry and let it out I do I don’t give a flip what a mofo say I’m still pure man
Having no kids life is empty. How many trip you gonna take? A big empty house? Who cares. Rolls Royce in the garage? Who cares. 7 8 figures bank account by yourself. Ehhh. Been there. No thanks.
Regarding health, get a colonoscopy. I was due to have one a few years ago but was too busy at work to take time off. Then Covid hit delaying everything even more. Had pain recently & after an emergency colonoscopy, a mass was found. I’ve been on chemo infusions for a few months now. Get checked!!
*As a Man, set your own standards, move at your own pace, have a purpose, a plan and perseverance* because you wont get instant success. *Never compare, always compete* your career is how you see yourself not others, if you stay true yourself the right things will come to you. *Ultimately, your overall health is your wealth mental, physical, spiritual, and self-care if you dont have that you have nothing* and cannot obtain the other things in this video.
Man !!!! You need a network show. You touch on so many subjects important to men who don’t talk to other men! Health, money,education, travel,books,joining organizations, hobbies and contributing to your community! Thank you O.G.again! Salute😊❤❤❤
In my mid 30’s. Have a nice house, car, getting married in a few weeks. But I definitely know I’m behind. Already taken steps to improve everyday life. Getting closer to God, putting the weed down, and trying to quit porn. I have some regrets, but I’m trying my absolute hardest to make the 2nd half of my life exponentially better than the 1st half. Once you get a little bit older you start to realize you really don’t have as much time as you thought. Fun is over now it’s time to grind 💪🏽
Just turned 36yrs a few days ago and your words definitely hit home. I also still got a lot of work to do on myself as well. Success to your marriage in a few weeks and your life as well. Cheers for your post Dude.
Tf you mean you’re behind you’re really not man. Stop letting society dictate your life. So what you smoke weed. You got your priorities still straight. Got a house and car and can feed you and your wife. I totally understand the porn part. That shit does be ruin us but everything else you mentioned you’re path my g and continue to be in it and to grow
Health really is wealth fellas, take it from a guy that was anxious in middle school at times, then in HS it got worse I started having low Energy levels, wasn't sleeping good and started feeling even more Anxious/ depressed my whole Sophomore- Senior Yr. From age 16-24 i went through that, I'm 27 now. Mental & Physical Health is VERY Important !!!
I was on track and doing all these things, after 25years of marriage, my wife was bored and “not happy “ and wanted a divorce; I prided myself in always giving and supplying her with her wants. Where did it get me? I lost 1/2 of everything that I had achieved, just so she could walk away with cash & prizes. Not bitter, I just see women and relationships without rose-colored glasses.
Dude sound like my life. I made mistake but I thought overall I was a good husband and father for 33 years. Now searching for ways to replace everything lost ie home and 401k. It’s crazy in these streets 😂😂😂
@@davidbeard5465 DAMMM I FEEL FOR YOU GUYS...but wait made you waiit sooo long to leave after all that baggage!!?? 20 years ago..i left after 6 months married ..saw that i made a hugeee mistake!! no kids with her or headaches!! I DODGED MULTIPLE BULLETS!!!! and never cohabitated again...and neverr will!!! GOD BLESS ME!!! LOL
This speaks to me. Nothing seems to be working. Got thrown out of jobs. No friends, no wholesome relationship, messy habit, no income, no home, savings gone. I pray for clarity and a sound mind as I navigate and moving to put all these behind me.
Great markers, but in this stress filled world we live in...do not allow this list or video add undue stress. Take one step at a time and enjoy the process of getting yourself where you want or need to be... Fact is, it's NEVER too late. Remember from a spiritual side, you can do anything and everything, believe in yourself no matter what. You're on your own journey...live a life of purpose and you'll be amazed with what this life gives you in return. Peace and Blessings Family
Honestly, I didn't feel like I started really "living" life until around 40. That was after spending 20 years in the Air Force, wrenching on big jets. Retired from active duty 12 years ago, always been a late bloomer and just turned 50 this year. Feels like I'm just getting spun up for a few more rounds in the game and I have no major concerns, based on your criteria/list and some of my own criteria as well. Starting a small tow truck business later this year.
I still struggle to pin down my lifes purpose. Right now I need this compass and some stability. I have 2 kids but feel like Ive been a simp for some years in my marriage now separated. Certainly my kids are the most important piece of my life. I love them dearly and they are you g so will adjust hopefully. I have provided for them completely and solely. Time and money never seem to be onside, and work options arent great right now. I may have fell victim of sunk cost fallacy in my marriage, but isnt that, my being too proud? Or dumb?? As a person Im never complacent but victim of greed and others not being as hardworking, yet my network suffers due to blinkered mindset. OG its great content and thanks for the pep talk. 🙏🏼
I’m 26 and I’ve definitely have felt like a loser and behind at times. I got this cyber security internship but I feel I need to do being more. I’m so tempted this joining the Army or Air Force and using the military to get my life back on track. Got no structure at all rn.
That could be a great opportunity for you. You have to weigh out the pros and cons and then, where you ultimately want to be in life. I sometimes wished that I had joined the armed forces when I was younger. I would be retired or close to retirement now and probably have the freedom to enjoy a second career.
Bro.. GO FOR IT! I’m 26 as well in a similar boat as you and I’m about to see a recruiter tomorrow. I’m going in for the educational benefits as well as I am interested in how the Army can set me up as a physical therapist.. just gotta have a plan with how you’re gonna use the military. I was thinking about being certified in cyber security but didn’t see it being fulfilling long term as I will learn to hate my job
I recently learned about having life milestones. I feel far behind when it comes to that. I made a lot of money, have a house and whatnot but I never thought to actually write it out to make sure I am hitting these points. Thanks OG
As someone who recently went through a serious Anxiety period due to feeling I was not doing enough, this has made me feel a lot better. I am doing ok. I will say it again, I am doing ok. Very good video Sir.
financially I know i'll never retire, i'm an older millennial who got hit hard by the 08 crash, my life is only now starting to recover. I stopped worrying about money a while ago, sure it would be nice to make more, but i'm happy just being a live now.
I appreciate, this video so much as especially as man solely because this is topic that we as men don't normally speak about. I know personally with losing my job twice during the pandemic and dealing with debt has truly had an impact on life and personality as person.
Let's see, you touched on the primary indicators of one's overall condition - health, economic standing, relationships. I would say you are on the money bro! Perhaps some insights regarding one's assessment of their mental health would round things out a bit more.
I wish I were ahead in life. My parents were very successful. I know I'm behind in life. I never knew how to have a mentor or where to find one. I was the savant growing up that could do anything science and have the degrees to prove it yet can't bumble through anything social enough to even get a job, much less friends. Yet when I try, i am usually harshly persecuted. Even when I don't try. By persecuted i mean that people literally do all the can to destroy my life for no reason at all.
Another great video O.G. Especially the point about focusing on hobbies and interests. I put too much into my career to provide for my family. Men - we need to have balance. I’m working on that myself.
I'm still striving for career progression and financial stability. Unfortunately, I get very insecure when I am behind these areas because I want to provide for my future family. But I believe I am on my way because I am ambitious. The other challenge now is finding a wife who will genuinely love me for me and not for resources.
Great advice, OG. Advice for younger people: A good way to assess whether you're behind or not is to notice how random people treat you. If they treat you respectfully, you're probably doing well at life. Also, if coworkers routinely ask for your advice, you're probably doing well, as your peers respect your judgment. Lastly, if you live a life other people envy, you're probably doing well.
Appreciate that og made me realize I’m too hard on myself and I’m doing good 26 have my own place have a job while focusing on my main craft as a day trader, working out 6 times a week consistent meal plan and diet as well and being an engaged father and partner appreciate you og time to give myself a pat on the back
I hate having use credit (usually automobile related) just to get through hard times that sprout up. Seems to happen EVERY TIME I get close to owning nothing.
I am very aware that I am behind and watching this confirms it. I accept it for despite all I’ve endured the reality is you get out what you put in. I’ve reassessed my vision and taken accountability as I’ve made strides towards becoming a respectable accomplished man. Thank you for such great content. Much appreciated
My last serious relationship? I lost a lot of friends focusing on her; making her my priority. Family faded away also. Now I have to recreate myself & start from scratch at age 55! Damn!
😅 I'm an artist. I didn't go the often chosen path. Creating art is my true passion and purpose. I honestly don't fit into societal norms, but i still want to ensure I'm good for the future. I'm seriously considering becoming an art teacher as a sustainable income. I chose not to label myself as behind. I'm blooming late. 🎉
Great video! Well stated, very insightful and words I believe encourage men to do that necessary introspection. Thanks for the excellent content brotha!
As an accountant, it's a struggle to stay healthy when my late nights and weekends are filled with work. Can't remember the last time I got a full six hours of sleep.
Great Great content OG , I see with this hard look that I'm behind in some areas which makes sense of some unhappiness ... setting short and long term goals may help me change things around.. Salute and Respect OG 💪🏽💎
By who's standards is "behind"... You only "fall behind" in someone else's eyes... but guess what? We each have our own path to carve, in our own time. Focus on yourself, always focus on getting better and stop comparing yourself to the next one. That's how you know you'll not fall behind.
Even though physically I am recovering from a injury I am doing way better now in life than I was when I was completely healthy but dam limited mobility makes it hard to live life
The problem with defining who is falling behind is defining who is succeeding. Honestly, I personally don't see many of todays male role models as "successful" no matter how many times the media tries to put them on a pedestal.
I personally think no one is ever ahead of one another in real life and no matter how behind or far ahead we feel, we are all gonna end up in the same place when we die and that is six ft under. That’s why life is a marathon not a race
In college back in 85’ I’ve always told my homies never be stagnant. Keep pushing forward and taking the next step in every facet of life.

Deep video!! Gave me alot to think about!! Wow!! Just made me realized I'm behind in many of these things.
Keep going!
I definitely appreciated this video. Still working on myself to be a better man
Keep at it!
I appreciate, this video so much as especially as man solely because this is topic that we as men don't normally speak about. I know personally with losing my job twice during the pandemic and dealing with debt has truly had an impact on life and personality as person.
Hope you found it useful!
Indeed, the Pandemic really has shaped my reality.
I’m not behind in my life, im at my own pace! 🙏🏾
Let's see, you touched on the primary indicators of one's overall condition - health, economic standing, relationships.
I would say you are on the money bro! Perhaps some insights regarding one's assessment of their mental health would round things out a bit more.
Appreciate the feedback!
I'm behind because I got a job right after high school and got stuck. Now I'm in my early 30s trying something new.
Big brother you are so true with this make alot of sense appreciate the vibe
Excellent article 💯. Only item I noted was missing was that there wasn't much talk about any goals linked to your family/wife/children
He wants you single forever bruh
Some of these things I definitely Needed to hear real men take on responsibility little boys run i appreciate you keeping it 💯 og
💯
I wish I were ahead in life. My parents were very successful.
I know I'm behind in life. I never knew how to have a mentor or where to find one.
I was the savant growing up that could do anything science and have the degrees to prove it yet can't bumble through anything social enough to even get a job, much less friends.
Yet when I try, i am usually harshly persecuted. Even when I don't try.
By persecuted i mean that people literally do all the can to destroy my life for no reason at all.
A lot of older men are jealous of you. And if you're black and they're not they're probably racist against you as well.
Agreed. Number 2 is serious and the foundation. Find it, lock into it, and everything will start to connect, like Legos.
This video made me cry ( I know that wasn’t your intention) but thank you for this topic it was eye opening and informative!
Another great video O.G. Especially the point about focusing on hobbies and interests. I put too much into my career to provide for my family. Men - we need to have balance. I’m working on that myself.
Balance!
I'm still striving for career progression and financial stability. Unfortunately, I get very insecure when I am behind these areas because I want to provide for my future family. But I believe I am on my way because I am ambitious. The other challenge now is finding a wife who will genuinely love me for me and not for resources.
Style OG a life coach now!
Great advice, OG.
Advice for younger people: A good way to assess whether you're behind or not is to notice how random people treat you. If they treat you respectfully, you're probably doing well at life. Also, if coworkers routinely ask for your advice, you're probably doing well, as your peers respect your judgment. Lastly, if you live a life other people envy, you're probably doing well.
I'm behind I feel like days are just passing and I have nothing to show.
I feel like that sometimes too
You not alone Playboi just keep going. Look at my comment.
Same bro
@@gmack7488 Yes sir, thank you.
I'm 34. I'm giving myself 6 months to turn things around
5 months to go! Stay after it bro!
@@captured_agent5714 Thank you💪🏾
Don't give up even if it takes a lifetime
Great advice 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks!
Hard to watch because I know I’m behind, I appreciate this video OG
Hope it helps!
Thank you for this video. I need to hear it.
Glad it was helpful!
Appreciate that og made me realize I’m too hard on myself and I’m doing good 26 have my own place have a job while focusing on my main craft as a day trader, working out 6 times a week consistent meal plan and diet as well and being an engaged father and partner appreciate you og time to give myself a pat on the back
Sounds like you are on a good trajectory
Saved for future reference. Hopefully I can share it with my boy in future.
I hate having use credit (usually automobile related) just to get through hard times that sprout up. Seems to happen EVERY TIME I get close to owning nothing.
I am very aware that I am behind and watching this confirms it. I accept it for despite all I’ve endured the reality is you get out what you put in. I’ve reassessed my vision and taken accountability as I’ve made strides towards becoming a respectable accomplished man.
Thank you for such great content. Much appreciated
IN THE Health and fitness DEPARTMENT I NEED TO MAKE A COMMITMENT AND STICK TO IT
My last serious relationship? I lost a lot of friends focusing on her; making her my priority. Family faded away also. Now I have to recreate myself & start from scratch at age 55! Damn!
I’m loving these self improvement videos that Jeff and Alpha M have been uploading recently
Happy to hear it!
Salute OG you gotta keep them tabs on yourself. It helps.
Salute James!
@thestyleOG Personal relationships struck home 🏡 for me #Salute
this one kinda tough watch. made some milestones not others, Great vid as always.
Thanks!
Thanks for this Jeff appreciate it‼️💯
My pleasure!
😅 I'm an artist. I didn't go the often chosen path. Creating art is my true passion and purpose. I honestly don't fit into societal norms, but i still want to ensure I'm good for the future. I'm seriously considering becoming an art teacher as a sustainable income.
I chose not to label myself as behind. I'm blooming late. 🎉
i don't care about fitting into societal norms. never have
Great video! Well stated, very insightful and words I believe encourage men to do that necessary introspection. Thanks for the excellent content brotha!
You are so welcome!
Thank you Jeff. Great content
I appreciate that!
As an accountant, it's a struggle to stay healthy when my late nights and weekends are filled with work. Can't remember the last time I got a full six hours of sleep.
You work for the government
@@rasulsamad5860 ?
Great Great content OG , I see with this hard look that I'm behind in some areas which makes sense of some unhappiness ... setting short and long term goals may help me change things around.. Salute and Respect OG 💪🏽💎
Respect!
By who's standards is "behind"... You only "fall behind" in someone else's eyes... but guess what? We each have our own path to carve, in our own time. Focus on yourself, always focus on getting better and stop comparing yourself to the next one.
That's how you know you'll not fall behind.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom. As a 54 yr old man, it is good to hear different perspectives. 🫡
Glad you enjoyed it!
Even though physically I am recovering from a injury I am doing way better now in life than I was when I was completely healthy but dam limited mobility makes it hard to live life
At first I was little skeptical. After watching this video, I can get a better handle on catching up. Good Job. Thank you!
Great to hear!
I AM NOT BEHIND………Be very careful of what you put behind the words I am.
Yup words are powerful
Bro this was a very very important topic. Im so glad you address. This is some real knowledge here. Great job bro... always on Point💯💯❤
I like that style O.G. I can see a few things on the list that i need to work on. Thank You!
Glad it was helpful!
Great info video and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
Thank you! You too!
Thank you! You too!
You welcome keep up the good work and thank you very much GOD BLESS 🙏
It’s funny I always reflect this and this was very needed too,I love it!
Glad to hear it!
Well said. I have some things to work on.
You got this!
Comparison if the thief of all joy
This was right on time!!
Hope so !
Great video! Health should be the first step. Your health is your wealth.
Thanks!
The problem with defining who is falling behind is defining who is succeeding. Honestly, I personally don't see many of todays male role models as "successful" no matter how many times the media tries to put them on a pedestal.
Sign #1: You still look for other males who may or may not have matured enough to do so, tell you who and how to be……”As a man”.
Man…im so behind in life im a whole arse at this point. This made me realize how bad of a job I’ve done with me life ❤
Am I behind in life? Of course. We all are.
I personally think no one is ever ahead of one another in real life and no matter how behind or far ahead we feel, we are all gonna end up in the same place when we die and that is six ft under. That’s why life is a marathon not a race
Cool video.. One question? Where's the background music? Cool Breeze..😎
mixing it up
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure!
Fantastic Video to studio we all should go back and study on a yearly basis
Appreciate it!
Great video. This is a good reality check here about our lives 👊🏾💪🏾
Thanks Ernest!
@@TheStyleOG you're welcome
Really good content 👌🏾
Glad you enjoyed!
Great advice OG!
Outstanding video, Jeff. Thanks a lot!
Glad you liked it!
My pleasure!
If I could suggest could you do a video on what life/ dating advice you yourself would give to men approaching 30?
Good idea!
Great video... Great checklist
Thanks!
Good video as always!!…I have some things I need to work on to catch up on life it’s hard but I’m trying
You got this!
Top notch subject and commentary!
Another great video Jeff 🔥
#grownmangame

My pleasure!
