    -
    This man desperately wants to change his life but says he JUST CAN’T bring himself to make his dreams a reality. Sound familiar?
    It’s easy to avoid the things you’re scared of. He used video games to distract himself from what he actually had to do. I used drinking.
    The first 40 years of my life, I was a hot mess - learning every lesson the HARD way, drinking through my feelings and beating myself up for not being where I wanted to be.
    I am where I am today because I lived through the hard shit and LEARNED from it.
    I stopped AVOIDING the things I knew I had to do.
    I CHANGED my habits and my mindset so I could focus on my dreams.
    My wish for you ➡️ Use this hard moment in your life to catapult yourself forward toward your dreams.
    Every day you have a choice:
    Am I going to avoid doing what I have to do?
    Or am I going to make shit happen and push myself to change?
    Get up every damn day and high five your way forward. Cheer for yourself.
    ⬆️That’s how you make your dreams come true.⬆️
    What’s one thing you want for yourself that you can take action on TODAY?

      I remember an article about this young Indian couple that came to the US to study and then managed to get a green card. They eventually married , had a couple of kids etc. Initially worked for someone else and then made the jump to owning one McDonalds, then two, then three etc , lots of ups and downs and today they are wealthy . They said that in India if your business goes down , that little nugget will go on your gravestone with you one day. You are never forgiven. Here in the US, you get a second, third and fifth chance and the only thing that people are really interested in is ...."and what are you planning to do next?" As an immigrant from another country I can fully vouch for what the Indian couple said. Most countries will make sure that your failures are advertised....not here in the US

      Well, it's a motivational phrase which IMHO is full of wisdom. You can interpret it as you choose. Whilst I don't necessarily dispute what you say, other phrases that come to mind are "EVERYTING is an opportunity" and "Today is the first day of the rest of your life". Even in the bleakest of situations, it's up to you whether you decide to focus on the negative, or on the opportunity.@@GonzoT38

But when you were good friends with them or last saw them, you were just a pair of party goers, drinking the nights away in bliss. Now these people are directors of businesses, doctors, heads of education, etc.

All this time I’ve wasted from depression because of my parents divorce and then my moms death also how many decisions I’ve made out of fear. It’s time to put that stuff behind me and move on.

We can underestimate the impact of past trauma in the present. Healing work is essential and now, we are more free to pursue our respective dreams and goals. It's not too late while we are 6 ft above ground and have access to resources that can help us along the way. Best wishes! 🙂

    I’m 38 halfway to 39 and feel the same way. Sure, I’ve had hard things happen to me too personal to name here, but wow, have I left grief, fear, and low self-esteem steal so much time due to the heartache of those losses. Like many people here, it looks like this realization hits us around the same time. I woke up on my 38th birthday more depressed than I’ve been in years because I realized how much I had let slip by due to heartache, fear, and loss. Mel Robbins has helped me get a grip and finally wake up to what can be. Now, I just have to figure out how to do it and find the courage to push through when I can’t see the end of the tunnel. Many peace and blessings to all you others out there in similar situations. We will all get through this together. As my brother would say, just keep grinding. God bless!❤

      Just wanted to say, yes indeed same age. And I noticed it's also often roughly the same problems. I lost a decade to burnout and depression, and the previous decades weren't that great either. I missed out on a couple things, which still saddens me sometimes.
      I'm 40 and it took me many years to crawl out of a dark place, regain some strength and confidence and since a couple months I'm feeling much better and am in the process of cleaning up my entire life and get rid of all old baggage. I'm feeling that I currently start a new chapter. With many lessons learned.
      I realized in recent years that I don't need to be ashamed of my life and my shortcomings/issues because almost everyone seems to be some sort of screwed up. Some are just not aware of it, amd most try to hide it even from friends amd family.

      Well that's your first problem stop comparing yourself to other people and that fear will greatly reduce. Everyone has a different starting position but the finish line is the same for everyone and it's being content with who and where you are in life.
      Instead compare yourself to who you were yesterday and strive to be better than that person even small increments of improvement matter. Doing so will serve as your motivation to keep going until you have so much momentum that the struggle to improve and learn won't feel like your struggling any more. It doesn't matter how long it takes for you to get to where you want to be just as long as you get there.

    I can relate to the learning from resucing myself, I had a life changing accident which took me from my 9-5 but also woke me up spiritually, I was on the bottom dealing with depression and anxiety and everything was heightend from my brain injury I just survived.. I though back at what made me happy as a child and that was making videos and so I deceided to take my story and post it onto the internet just to raise awareness, then i started about posting videos about Amsterdam which eventually led me to meet Uncle Stoner who then flew me to Jamaica as his videographer for a month, EVERYONE doubted me, and it was scary flying to a place I have never been to with only $17 but I did it, and fast forward to today, Jamaica has become a huge part of my life and now I try and show the beauty it has to the world!

Then having one kid four years in a row. Life will be amazing for me at 50.

    I have changed everything in my life. I had to so I didn't drown from everything. Also realized how much my hsp affected even though I didn't understand it. This didn't happen overnight. But collapsed in August 2021. That was the turning point. Now standing at the crossroads and choosing new paths. Where I myself am involved in my own life. Where I make decisions like an adult. Became an adult late in life. Almost 49 years old. Started going out of my programming. Become who I was meant to be without programming. It feels a little unusual not to take or use what I previously turned to. Like a bird without feathers, I feel naked. I walk the road and see where it takes me. Do something that scares me every day. Get to know myself. So dating myself. A bit exciting to discover a new world. Without the ones I had in my luggage. But has the baggage of experience.❤Walk the walk.🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️

    I was just thinking about having another 'talk' with my adult son. Too much alcohol. He has a new job making double the money but it's getting frittered away. His wife drinks alcohol out of a McDonalds cup on the way home from work. I don't want to be a nag but I can't let him just waste his life. I have encouraged him to invest but I still pay for his cel phone and he's made no move to repay the thousands I've 'loaned' him the past few months. I guess the difference is that I literally starved once, and he never has :(

      Being sensitive and emotional is actually a great strength which many people don't have coz they are full of ignorance, resentment, self pity , ego or just lost . Important is to take the power and decide who and which situation is worthy of your feelings and put energy in it. don't waste it , it ain't for the people who don't appreciate it. Have compassion but you can't do the healing work for them . If we are able to have a clear distinguishable understanding between being practical and emotional.. we can help others while not draining own self. :)

    • @Chris-tg3qy
      @Chris-tg3qy 3 года назад +3

      You have to discern when it is appropriate to show your emotions. It’s hard to see an emotional outburst about a trivial incident and see that person as strong. Being able to manage emotions appropriately is very important and actually shows a great deal of strength, restraint and self control. Allow yourself to feel and process your emotions so you can deal with life’s difficulties with a calm demeanor and clear head.

  • @PiCheZvara
    @PiCheZvara 7 месяцев назад

    The real issue isn't getting your life together. It's finally not procrastinating and crying over wasted time and making peace with the past and the biggest fear of all - that you won't get as far as you hoped you would, because you wasted so much time.
    I get the mindset, I actually felt like this a lot in my late 20s, early 30s. Then at 34 circa, I had almost an epiphany one month, one moment, where it finally started to fall into place for me. Suddenly like 90 percent of my neurotic thoughts, doubts went out the window, because I just kinda thought it's pointless to focus on them. But, then I made one mistake at work, I kinda snapped, and I continued to snap until I pretty much undid or destroyed my relationships I had established since my teens and in my family. Just as I was on the right track, one mistake and it all crumbled and the worst thing is this was a real biggie for me - the relationships and they're all gone. So honestly, the past two-three years have been me trying to stubbornly push through my own snapping and self-imposed isolation by convincing myself everyone I ditched is toxic. Which they might've been? IDK really anymore. But I know it's not getting me anywhere.
    And I'm kinda resigned now, just enjoying stuff, TV, no real ambitions, because it feels very comfy, easy, and mostly because I know I'm genetically not really that strong, or resilient, have some bad genes since mom has mental issues and was an alcoholic and I feel like at 39, I'm just not going to turn this all around when I couldn't even in my early 20s and 30s and I know I'm going to be behind everyone I know. At everything. And I can't stand that notion, so I just decided to just kinda give up, like "fuck it, who cares" and the idea of putting it together is so aggravating, because it's too much work and really I'm never going to be at the level I dreamed of.
    Good advice I think for those who want to get back on track - I figured this out during the short epiphany. Just focus the emotions you have about others, how they perceive you and what they're doing to you inwards and just process them, curve them up into a ball and mentally ditch them. No matter what you do, unless you're insulting others. Just force yourself to constantly reassure yourself you don't care what others think.

I went into a dark place…alcohol, drugs, women etc.. at 39 I finally feel I have regained control as a grounded person with targeted goals. This video should give hope to those who have stumbled in their later years in Life. We all have our own journey, and it’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to your siblings and friends. Fuck all that! Focus on yourself and getting better everyday. The trials and tribulations you endure and overcome only makes you more stronger, wiser, resillient if you maximize them for positive change. Keep pushing to being the best you and live your life on your terms, not others.

      The same with me, turning 41. Only ONE thing ever helped me. And that is meditation. Without it I would not have survived. And now I am even slowly getting out of self-paralysis so that I can start doing things although it is not a perfect life. Do meditation and if you can get a good healing practicioner or spirit healer, it really works. It is a difference like night and day.
      It is said, that the real conscious human life starts at 42, when the human starts to be capable of making real self-made decisions. This is my comfort. That it is quite natural that up until 42 you only live in patterns, some people good, some people with bad patterns. And with 42 you get the ability to start choosing, gradually more and more.
