Got rid of my bed this morning to maximise space and efficiency. I now have room for that big fish tank I've been wanting to take my aquarium hobby to the next level and maybe make some money off it. Going to cull my clothes soon too. Turns out it's easy to declutter when nothing in your life sparks any joy anymore
Im a 57yr old bloke and have only just come across this channel. I lost my job 8 weeks ago and have literally sat on my arse for all that time. Yes Ive applied for numerous jobs and have had lots of interviews. But this really hit home as I have always wanted to publish some of the many photos Ive taken over the years. Time to pull my finger out and start that part of my lifes journey. Thank you for this 👍🏾
Found out I loved working with cows, then discovered the miracle of 'Ag school' said fuck yeah and put in an average amount of effort getting certifications and experience. Worked on a wheat and sheep farm over harvest for 4 months and earned $12K, bought myself an affordable and reliable ute and have been living the dream dairy farming for over 2 years now. Waiting to win lotto to get my own land, otherwise I'll be happily milking cows in my 70's
There are many more ventures that are more fruitful ventures fhan the lotto, dear x Look into government and organisation grants for startups, and for primary producers :)
I turn 29 today. Ive spent the majority of my life suffering from severe mental illness. I've never needed to set my own challenges because there has always been something imposed on me. Nowadays I feel I'm not going anywhere. The bar for existence is now so low that if I can get by, I will. This isnt how I want to live. I've been trying to get help from disability resources. Hopefully with some support I can get a little momentum back and finally work towards something more than survival.

Friendly jordies is in my walls I swear, I was sat last night having this crisis before I slept I wake up and bam this video talking about that exact issue
Man, this is an insane cosmological coincidence because i was just having a shower feeling down and alone about life and when I come back to my pc I see this video posted 24 minutes ago..., man I hate how this is a blaring sign...
Bro you and I both, I've been thinking about starting a business and felt like it wasn't going how it should. Then this video comes out and now I clearly see the 80% i need to shread and focus more on my thing.
Ahh, i know your problem. Don't take showers, instead take a victory bath. You can't feel down while having a bath. That'll put you on the right track.
Kudos. I’ve been connecting with my younger self who learnt the world wasn’t safe. I was terrified so I went to Uni. Then I had to do something with it. I always felt small. But set a goal, then did it. Always trying to be open, yet targeted. Open because my job required it. It also meant goals and achieving. People are my passion. Mostly Australians.
Uh oh I went to the not journalism channel. My life's going somewhere seeing as everytime I get ahead I get shaken like a snow globe and have to wait for the dust to settle. It's changed 5 times in 5 years and I've retained resilience from all of it.
Everyone absolutely feels this way, and the acknowledgment is spot on, no matter how successful or busy you are. Life's all about choices leading to other choices, then you're like "but what if I chose that instead?".
I figured this out at a young age. Since i was about 20, I've set yearly goals. Not fuckin resolutions. Goals. Whether it be learn to weld, finish my apprenticeship in carpentry or renovating my bathroom. I sit back at the end of the year and assess what i achieved that year. Im 35 now and have multiple properties, successful business and many and varied skills. Set goals people. ❤
Honestly, didn't realise how much I like having you shout at me (for free) on the regular. Keep at it. Now that you've finished I'm going out to try and finishing fixing this fucking motorbike of mine (current goal - learn how to do slightly more motorbike maintenance myself so that I can - future goal - rebuild my spectacularly, breathtakingly fucked motorbike).
I’m currently transitioning careers from trades and machining to personal training, to be honest the last part of the video helped a ton, just using that time I do everyday boring shit to progress in my studies
For me, it's permaculture and growing food that keeps me going. I've certainly had to develop some problem solving skills. Hell! I lost 20 kilos in six months when i got started last year (i was overweight). Thanks for all the advice

Idk dude, I'm stuck because of crapitalism and there are VERY real blockades in artistic industries that I've tried in before. People are pretty exhausted just trying to make enough money to not end up in the streets. THAT'S the GROUNDHOG SHIT. Can't escape being poor. Can't afford to have dreams.
That's where most people go wrong. They moved on from thumb twittling to thumb scrolling and think "ah, well, I've done and given everything I could possibly do today to not end up on the street or go hungry,". They're not called starving artists for nothing, cause they're both too broke to sufficiently feed themselves and they've got an insatiable desire to achieve their dreams. Never stop dreaming on the side, just do what Jordie said: three tasks or goals that'll advance your life and/or career. You can be poor and still dare to dream.
Only people who don’t have children feel like their life is going no where. Get married, have kids. That is literally 90% of your life’s purpose as a human being.
Ive been writing standup since i was a teenager, just recently started performing for open mics after 5 years of complacency depression and weight gain, and wouldnt you know Ive found something Im good at. Last couple weeks Ive been getting overwhelmed at the lifelong task of making something Im proud of. I really admire your work, you posted this at the perfect time for me.
I feel like the government is trying to steal my money and make me live in a cashless society. Government. My money. Me. This is not the three some i want. What can i do about it?

How much is it to start a dairy farm?

Great message of gratitude!

Thanks for this, cause I already forgot the homework... do you know when it's due?

I feel your pain. I’ve been in a slump all day and then I saw this video was posted
Bro you and I both, I've been thinking about starting a business and felt like it wasn't going how it should. Then this video comes out and now I clearly see the 80% i need to shread and focus more on my thing.

The one man standing between us and a living hell, what a legend!
Ok, master the crack pipe. Thanks for the advice Jordan.
Junky loozer
I love these manic rant videos
that circle you're referring to is called ⭐The Zone of Proximal Development ⭐
Why is it that this video and it "format" made perfect sense to my brain, like every tangent was spot on.
Life feels like a bad MMO thats been going on for *Far* too long without a sequel.

Best drill sergeant out
Circle of competence is the phrase you're looking for Jordan. A very popular phrase used by Warren Buffett
Also where one's sense of self efficacy is housed.. usually
Wow this video is actually what I really needed at this point in my life, Thank you Jordie 💖
Everyone is going nowhere. The place you think you need to go to is always going to disappoint you. Enjoy the journey. Do things that fulfil you.
I’m currently transitioning careers from trades and machining to personal training, to be honest the last part of the video helped a ton, just using that time I do everyday boring shit to progress in my studies
I have never felt like I’m going nowhere because I’m always struggling to keep myself alive 😂😂
That's exactly what I needed to hear, Jordon! Thanks.... I think...
I run a B&B cleaning business.
There is ALWAYS a pervert chair in the corner of the bedroom.
This was the funniest self help video I’ve ever watched
Definitely worth a rewatch once a week to drill it into our thick skulls
Jordy. Don't tempt me to divorce. Milestone around my neck of complaining and supports me in every way possible.
if your life feels like it is going nowhere, you are correct. Always trust your gut feeling.
The Pareto principle but hermit crab version sent me
For me, it's permaculture and growing food that keeps me going. I've certainly had to develop some problem solving skills. Hell! I lost 20 kilos in six months when i got started last year (i was overweight). Thanks for all the advice
Thank you!
Fuckk I'm hooked.
Fine I'll go to patreon
Sometimes the things you don't like won't like you back.
The voices in my head tell me they will kill me if I leave my house and I'm literally going nowhere and am stuck in life.
This was a really good one Jordy
Good morning from Bra
Thanks for the content n upload
i feel my life going from some to where sometimes, and other times from where to some

'I like the way Snrub thinks.'
this gave me some direction to why i feel like shit lmao thank you jordie, time to push myself
The bot flies....they're eating our face...
the lego song is bang on...EVERYTHING IS AWESOME ...NOT!!!
Jordan saying he's felt like hes going nowhere before, my first thought was that he mastered the firebombs
long time subscriber. even longer counting the other channel. anyway work your magic for me right now i need it.

First. And it feels like I need to see this given the topic. Love you Jord
my god your wearing a 80s jacket that's so cool comfy jordan ? good to see it
I'll have you know I have nothing dripping in me, for I am constantly fulfilled with water.
A BETTER YOU STARTS TODAY BAYBEEEEEE
thanks dad
Hermit crab. Noted.
Damn, It's like every second Jordan is punching me with his red pilled fists...
You're hearing what you want to hear if you think this is a red pill, unless you're using red pill in an older fashion.
No to your opening comment, I just like hearing what you have to say. You have good insights.
Should I leave? Not for me?

Flashbacks to the beginning of the channel lol, great title XD
Tubbs and Crocket called and they want there wind breaker back
Just think of John Baliraro having mastered spaghetti eating and then moving to boxing 🥊 🍝
Your mum masters skills.
I’m shitting to this 🎉
I ALSO WAS SHITTING
Something deep to think about: does anyone ever take a dump without pissing? I think it's common thing that brings us all together.
@@MultiChrisjb all poo poo times are pee pee times
Felt like this for years now. But hey im not the lone ranger
I need one of those David Icke jackets
My husband is the king of fun! And his sister is the Queen of fun!
👋😄🎉
Jordan, did you perchance use that pipe before recording? I do feel more hyped though
I feel not only inspired but motivated to create a better tomorrow. Thanks, Jordan!
I think everyone knew in the back of their heads that’s what they needed to do, someone just had to say it.
Sick jacket mate.
Where can this fellow "life crusher" (TM pending...) get one?
Cheers cunnie.
This is a really good video
Listening to this while doing other stuff, but I'm pretty sure he said I should start smoking crack? I'm one step ahead of you, buddy
Ill do it all
Ive been writing standup since i was a teenager, just recently started performing for open mics after 5 years of complacency depression and weight gain, and wouldnt you know Ive found something Im good at.

I bid you the greatest good luck in your comedy endeavours! ✌💖
dont die before you're dead
Yes Bathurst is that depressing
Jordan I must tell you, as a recovering addict, that that isn't a crack pipe. That's a meth pipe xD
Lord bless you
Can you make a last year of highschool/hsc advice video?
“10 minutes or less!”
19:39
not complaining though lol the longer the better
You basically summarised barbra oakleys book on learning, good read for people struggling
But jordie, i spent year building this mid body. Am i to just leave it to soften and atrophy?
Fuck no, move onto the next set, buddy
I think the main takeaway here is that society shouldn't have gotten rid of leprosy.
Pakistan & India currently have many people afflicted with leprosy.
proper
nah the ppl in the corner also gota score card it :p
yea bro
Jordies take on Tony Robbins 😂😂, you need the hart wrecking "motorvational music" to go with your speech, 😅
Only up from here!
-me
Why haven't you collab'd with Juice Media yet, they seem like the perfect allies
nothing better then a servo samwhich
Egg and lettuce.
Soon.. it was always a skill issue
genuine question - is "stagnation" okay if you are happy with it? Like with the Truck company example, what is thats what makes them happy?
Stagnation is slow decline
I too, have earned smoking crack.
Fuck....I've missed this channel
10 minutes or less.....19 minutes video

Not really, I'm aware that every day that passes is one day closer to death.
That's going somewhere.
Can you make an alter ego like "Funky Jordie" or I like "Freaky Jordie"?
I feel like the government is trying to steal my money and make me live in a cashless society. Government. My money. Me. This is not the three some i want. What can i do about it?
Maybe stop dealing drugs for cash
Sounds like what the government would say. Now it's definitely a conspiracy ;)
