      It's really easy to get stuck on stuff that keeps us entertained since there's so much out there that does that these days. After a while it's not satisfying and once you start working on yourself you and see improvement you find that it's better than any tv show or video game out there. Now I treat real life like a video game and I'm constantly trying to level up!

    I'm 31 years old. I've always lived a mediocre life. Not really any goals and my daily activities were either hanging around with friends or smoking weed and playing videogames This year I lost my job due to the pandemic, went through the hardest break up of my life and got evicted from my home as a result of depression and lack of the will to live. After deciding to get my shit together and being lucky enough to have a good friend of mine who introduced me to coding, I can definitely say that learning code ignited the long lost spark inside me again. I can relate to your story 100%. Thank you for being sincere and a down to earth guy.

    • @DorianDevelops
      @DorianDevelops  3 года назад +26

      It sounds like you and I aren't all that different and hopefully that can help you know it's totally something that you can accomplish. I'm sorry for all the shit that you're going through but I am happy to hear that you're finding a positive way of handling it. It's easy for us to fall into deeper struggles when things go wrong and the fact that you're focusing on self improvement shows that your head is in the right spot. Keep at it man because it is hard and you will feel like it's impossible at times but eventually the things that felt impossible become easier and then new challenges will arise and that cycle continues until one day way you look back and say "oh shit I actually did it." At least that's how it felt for me anyways.

    I’m 36, work full time, go to school part-time and have a family on top of it. Teaching myself to code now and develop mobile apps. It’s definitely not easy but your videos inspire me so much to just keep pushing through all the hard stuff, and there is no shortage of it. It was so validating to hear about your own struggles with the honeymoon phase and plateau, because it was starting to feel like a very lonely road. But I keep sitting down every day and hacking away at it, watching videos and reading about it. I still don’t know what the fuck I’m doing 99% of the time, but there is that 1% where things are starting to slowly make more sense, and that also keeps me going. Thank you.

      @@jamesbell8148 okay I'm a year late to answer this but don't watch anything that's 21 hours long. Nobody can remember anything out of a 21 hour long course, let alone actually use it when time comes. Just learn the fundamentals and start doing projects, in projects when you encounter something new or difficult, Google it, stackoverflow it, ask around and find a solution. This way you'll learn real quick without having to learn everything in one go most of which youd forget and wouldn't even be using in real world projects.

So what I am trying to point out is those 21 hours long course looks promising and you thought that if you do it then you will become professional overnight but reality is we don't have photographic memory and it's pretty hard to remember stuff if you can't understand it. So after getting hit by reality I learned that nothing happens overnight. Just try to understand the concepts and do 1 lesson each day but with discipline and soon you will make habit then you will see improvement yourself. Hope it helps anyone reading this comment.

Just focus on the "right now" because that's all you can control and working on the "right now" is what will help you build a better future!

    This is good stuff to hear.
    Video games are hella fun, but if you get addicted, it strips away very important years off your youth from you.
    I used video games to enter a world that distracted me from my responsibilities. Every night before i slept, the weight of all those responsibilities just pile drived on to me, and i started having self image issues, and suicidal thoughts.
    I don't know when, but one day, the accumulated weight of all my due responsibilities made me come to an agreement with my myself and I faced my responsibilities more frequently. I set small goals so as to get the feeling of accomplishment more often.
    The feeling of accomplishment with real life responsibilities, is far more refreshing, relieving, and rewarding than the dopamine high you get from video games.
    Slowly, i managed to shake away my video game addiction, and started working on putting my life together. Still a long way to go, but i know this is the best path i can take from here.
    It was great to hear someone like you talk about this. People need to know that things can eventually get better when they take those baby steps towards their responsibilities.

    • @DorianDevelops
      @DorianDevelops  3 года назад +3

      It's crazy how much video games can affect your life. I hardly play anymore these days I'm too busy with other things that bring my life more value.
      I'd being lying if I said that video games aren't that bad, at one point in time my wife almost left me because of my addiction to video games. I remember fighting with her over them, I remember neglecting other real life relationships because of them and I remember feeling really lonely because of them.
      I'm glad that I don't play as much as I used to now that I'm older. I'm also glad that I focus on myself more because I don't play them as much, one thing that I do now which may or may not help you is that I now treat life like a video game and I focus on "leveling up" in the real world. It's way more satisfying and the rewards last much longer!

    Hey man, thanks for the video. At 29, I decided to go back to school. I was unsure of what to take so I decided to take math courses (something I always feared in high school). I had forgotten so much I started at pre-algebra, basically 8th grade math. I really committed myself to it and I surprised myself how much I grew to love it. When you described going to the gym, that's exactly how I felt being on campus and going to class. I'm now finishing up calculus and looking forward to transferring to university and majoring in software engineering.

Nothing has changed for them and it honestly seems like nothing ever will. They're still on the same old bullshit and complaining about the cards that they were dealt but don't ever try to work to make things better. I have nothing in common with them anymore and many of the memories are a reminder of the person I was and the person that I will never go back to being. The older I get the smaller my circle becomes but the quality of the people that I keep around now is much higher.

    Hi Dorian! You are such a great inspiration. I have probably the same background you have: never set myself up for anything special and I spent plenty of time playing videogames when I was younger, completely forgetting about the future and what I would do next.
    But things changed, I was kind of forced to become a nomad, I had to leave my home country for good because of the absurd political and economical crisis, and after five years on the road, I still change countries every 90 days. I usually work as volunteer for hostels and stuff for "free" accommodation. Covid happened and things got really complicated in the hospitality industry. I hit rock-bottom and I had that "click" you mentioned in your video. I cannot just continue doing this because I need to work, I need real skills that will allow me find a proper job anywhere I want (at least on my own, remotely). I'm almost 30, zero relevant skills other than being able to speak multiple languages, but what for? Maybe I could use that knowledge for something greater as I learn how to code but right now I'm completely stuck. I recently found your channel and you got my inspired right away. Now I'm doing my best, everyday using the pommodoro technique studying from 10am-6pm. I have been unemployed for the past year, I got no money and anybody can easily call me a vagabond with a laptop. But the most important fact to mention is that I'm completely determined to make this work, whatever it takes. I just wish I could settle somewhere and take my time studying but that is simply not an option. Oh dear, the challenges of life, innit
    Thanks for all the content you have shared so far and keep it up! I just hit the bell button in your channel and I usually never do that. I love your content.
    Cheers!

    This is my exact mindset right now. I’ve been training jiu jitsu for a year and a half and am finally feeling like I am making some real progress. I’ve been messing around with coding for about a year on and off. But for the last four months I’ve gotten re-motivated to really apply myself to coding and all because of the progress I’ve been making in jiu jitsu when I thought I’d never get good at it.

  • @amazingsavant1525
    @amazingsavant1525 Год назад

    Your content is the real deal. I really can relate. I'm 33 years old now. In the early 2000s, when I was 12 years old, I created websites using Microsoft Front Page and Fireworks as a pure hobby. They were sites like Dragon Ball Z fan page and for my Age of Empires 2 clan.
    Long story short, I studied psychology, it took me a while to find myself, I had depression and at 28 I started Information Systems in one of the best public colleges here in Brazil. But I still had a long journey. I worked in support of a famous web hosting company, and it was boring and also frustrating. Only years later, tired of the life I had, spending time and money on dates, procrastinating and never solving my finnancial problemas, did I stop and dedicate myself to what I always loved deep down: Front End. A few months ago I got my first job in the area using Flutter. It just happened when I was getting ready to be a freelancer. All the anguish and pain created a base of experience and wisdom... And man... How satisfied and happy I am with this new phase. Keep up your great work here. Greetings!

    Cheers 🍻 to the regular dude. That’s one reason I like your channel you don’t claim to be a know it all and you are NORMAL most likely that’s because your not trying to see a product (a course and what not) when you do the tutorials and have to work through them like the flex box it resignated with me that’s exactly how I feel when I work through stuff and made me feel less dumb... that alone gave me motivation to keep at it not that you don’t know but that you who know a lot is still learning and that’s what I’m doing as well.

    Honestly I think it’s dope you make inspirational things like this, because I’m at a point in my life where I feel lost. An basically wasted my 20’s away. Doing nothing that would build my future. I have a son that I love an need to take care of. Now I’m 32, and I’m tryna be the change in my life I want to see. So I decided to take up a career in coding/software development. I’m a high school drop out, but I’m motivated to make this happen. I’ve been studying coding a completing course on free code camp. I’m a week in an definitely feel like I don’t know what the hell I’m doing, but videos like this lets me know. If I stay to it I’ll find purpose, an get the career that’ll help me be where I want in life. Thanks a lot for everything you page gives back to people !

    I agree with everything you have said, we as humans don't understand that something would have to click for us that would set us on the right path, when I nearly gave up on coding in 2017, i was able to find the motivation and drive to continue even when it felt like I was a failure

    Thanks for the video. I'm through the same thing. I want to be a developer, but I'm 50 and sometimes think maybe it's too late for me to learn to code because there is so much to learn. After 15 years of working dead end insurance jobs, I began last summer to start learning to code. I wish I would have started this about 10 years ago. Right now, I'm stocking shelves at Walmart overnight (not that there's anything wrong working at Walmart), I constantly emotionally beat myself up because I didn't learn how to do this sooner. Sometimes I feel motivated to code and sometimes feel overwhelmed because there is so much to learn. There are so many videos, it's hard to find the right one to learn from. I have some knowledge of HTML and CSS and not starting to learn Javascript and it is over my head. Sometimes, I feel like I'm not smart enough to get all this. I have parts of static websites that I work on but it's hard to code what I picture in my head or what I draw on paper. You're right, there is no magic pill, I wish there was. I know it takes time and I keep telling myself to take it one step at a time. I'm learning Grid, Flexbox, and right now Javascript a little bit at a time and try to apply it to my projects and hopefully will get it. I just want to get it enough to start a career in it, if it's not too late. . I don't know anyone else to talk to about coding and because of Covid, there are not Meetups going on right now. Sorry for the long post. I really like your videos and they give a kick in the rear to keep going.

    Once bitten twice shy. Many of us here have poured ourselves into all we had into the field we were in only to be thrown to the curb. Probably tried other avenues that have been unsuccessful. Blaming ourselves cause why are we failing so much and now struggling and failing at coding tasks just opens us up 2 all of this again.
    Thats probably why we need that encouragement. As this feels like our last option to be able to provide for our families cause we are falling deeper and deeper into what we think is a point of no return.

      Life has a way of kicking us when we're down but it's important that we find that inner strength that makes us get back up. I know how hard it can be and I will never say that "it's easy" nothing in life is easy but with grit and determination anything is achievable!
