It's crazy how influenced we are to want things that others seem happy with. Life has now become one big marketing ploy to get you to constantly play catch up, it's exhausting. But to anyone reading this, it's ok to want a 'normal' 'average' life. Don't let other people's version of happiness deter you from your own.
honestly we will never be happy in this world as we are constantly wanting more!
Omg I couldn’t have said it any bettter 👌🏾💯bruh!!!
I agree with you 100% it's exhausting
Yessss! Say it @Ebz Jay
The first-world's definition of average sounds like an absolute dream: stable job, upper middle class, white-picket-fence house, married with children and a puppy, etc. That's a dream lifestyle that so many people in the world will never even have access to. But apparently for some now it's considered lowly not to be or be on the way to become a millionaire? Lol sooo out of touch with reality, these people are way too caught up in the social media echo chamber. Embarrasing.
This is such a good point. The ‘average’ that we seem to be looking down on is actually such a privilege to some!
Amen!
i’ve been preaching this to my friends traveling the world, living the life “they dreamed of”. i find peace in leisure. i find peace being at home. i find peace in the weekday structure my 9-5 work gives me. i’m truly content and grateful to be able to have this peace.
so happy 4 u xox
those are all religious principles
Exactly, I feel the same way.
@@AC-mp7cx how is being a home body religious?
Omg I'm such a sloth, lying down on my bed feels abnormally good all the time...
You know what's crazy, as a Christian I've also felt this same pressure from within the church. This message that we all have the calling to do something absolutely groundbreaking and incredible. I recently landed on this verse in 1 Thessalonians 4:11 '... aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands' and it's given me so much peace. I recently got a promotion and I have no plans of going any higher within my career if it means less time/energy for me as a wife and mother. I want to be a awesome wife and a mum and I refuse to let work interfere with that goal.
You have no idea how brave that is
Funny how the whole calling to do something groundbreaking and incredible isn't even scriptural. We are only called to share the good news to people, and go where God says we should go. I hope you and your family are doing okay.
YEEESS. ALL OF THIS.
I had to let my best friend go because he was trapped in the hustle mindset. Everytime I would give him a homemade gift it was instantly "you should sell these.", "You're leaving money on the floor", and "youre so talented you really should market yourself better".
Bruh... not everything needs to be monetized. Let me make art for the love of it, not a check.
😂😂😂lol I know people like this.
Lolll
I used to be like this and one burnout made reconsider everything in my life
Exactly most people spend their lives worrying about what they don't have, instead of focusing and appreciating what they have.
Omg this! Me included.
The worst part of wanting to be normal is everyone else expecting something more of you. For example I nanny and parents are always asking me what’s next. As if I should want more to my life than to watch kids all day. It always baffles me that people think that we should sit behind a desk in a leadership position, always be in school “bettering” ourselves, or just doing something to “improve” and find a new source of income. Like I would much rather deal with kids all day than toxic corporate America. Work is literally traumatizing in leadership positions whether you’re the CEO or not. Especially for people with color. I just want to exist and be the rule, not the exception.
THIS! My younger brother has mastered the art of not giving a single F. He's got an engineering degree, very smart yet he chose a job that doesn't require much brains and no engineering degree, pays well and he does the bare minimum. His classmates all work slaving away at the big corporations and earn way more but he just doesn't care. I on the other hand struggle with the expectations for me to climb the corporate ladder that people have of me. :(
Thank you for speaking out about this. I feel so suffocated with the whole ‘hustle’ and ‘entrepreneur’ culture. I just want a normal life and I’m okay with not being the next millionaire. My anxiety and depression was super bad for the last several years and my personal health just plummeted. That’s when I reeled everything back, left social media to remove that toxicity from my head and chose to be ‘average’ because I’m actually happy with being just that.
I can relate!!
Whats average anyway right? We all have our own ideas of personal success. I'm special to myself and thats all that matters.
I love that you were able to make that change!!
@@Blissedx yesss. Another important thing!!
As a Christian girl, I'm in full support of pushing to be the very best "of who God created me to be" but I'm also a big advocate of "contentment" a word most "hustlers" throw out of their dictionary.
This is why it’s so important to know what you truly want and what makes you happy. I feel like a lot of people don’t know that, so that’s why they are influenced easily by how others live their life. It’s okay to want to live an average or above average life, but make sure it’s want you want! Live for you!
Exactly this! It's easy to be influenced when you haven't figured things out for yourself x
very on point, I think this is absolutely the essence of the topic :-)
So many lost people needing someone to tell them what life to live online
Well the average income in the US is around $51,000 a year, so $70,000 is indeed above average. As someone who has been in leadership positions, being a boss isn’t always all it’s cracked up to be. Sometimes it can take you away from the ground level work you love. It’s one thing to be a stylist, but it’s something totally different to run a company that employs 70 stylists. You will surely have to take a step back from actually being a stylist. Whatever you choose to do, make sure you’re committed to the process and not just the perceived results.
No man, she means £70,000 in a country where the average is £38,000. If you make more than £70,000 pre tax, you're in the top 5% of earners.
@@tr9750 exactly. I’m glad you’re being intentional about setting everything up in a way that works well for you.
This is true. The perceived results are definitely what is typically celebrated and not the actual results.
Preach, Nikita.
Literally feeling exactly like this, I wanted to be an entrepreneur before it was cool on social media and i tried a bunch of ideas but i felt burnt out especially seeing all of the propoganda of "I did X by 19" every 5 minutes like i'm tired please lol i think i want an "average" life as long as that affords me all of the stuff i desire.
Lol yep that whole 'achieving x by X age' is interesting because of course it's an amazing achievement but it's not the norm at all and that's ok
I absolutely want to be average. Being an entrepreneur is not for me and I’d hate to have to be my own boss. Not to mention the fact that you never get a break! It’s 24/7 kind of work. It’s frustrating how social media and these gurus stress the life of the hustle and make people like me feel bad for not doing it. It’s crazy that I’m 21 and I feel so unaccomplished in life, forgetting that I’m still so young with so much life ahead of me. I just want to exist and be happy without comparing myself to other people. Way easier said than done
More money doesn’t usually mean more happiness. We just equate that. That could also mean more problems. I am content in my 9-5 and an occasional starbucks drink. I don’t want to work THAT HARD.
Yep!!!
Hustling at the expense of WHAT? People forget you have to sacrifice things to get what you want. Im okay with being average.
I’ve also felt unambitious for wanting to live a simple life. I’ve tried running around looking for a “passion” that would make me rich and successful and it was so exhausting and demoralising for me. I truly do want a simple life, that’s not based on riches and fortune. I don’t mind only going on holiday once a year, not having the biggest house, latest car or technologies, because I’ve found that the pursuit of these things doesn’t make me happy. Explaining this to family who expect soo much out of you is soo hard. All I know is we can’t ALL be rich. Lol
I have found that sharing my contentment with being average helps to repel "dusties" and users
thank you for this - I saw an ad for the paleo fx conference and one of the panels was literally called "in the future everyone will be an entrepreneur!"
and I'm just like no?? they won't??? also, the not so subtle condescension of people who are not trying to get rich quick thru entrepreneurship is reaching peak levels of ridiculous now. I work in commercial insurance for a large agency and I love it because I only have to worry about whats in front of me instead of thinking about my business 24/7.
also, I used to subscribe to so many female businesses from Instagram bc they were more focused on empowering women but now all of them are selling courses on how to make six figure months and talking about their amazing easy rich lives and I've started unsubscribing from all of them. it just all sounds so godamn tone deaf with what most folks are dealing with right now, not to mention that the only reason these women are making six figures a month is bc they're selling overpriced courses to other coaches.
Thank for bringing up this discussion. I work in tech, and beyond the push for entrepreneurialism, there is also pressure from people in both my social media and personal networks that say: "if you're not hustling and job-hopping every 1-2 years, what're you even doing?? You're missing out on amazing salary and promotion!" While job hopping works great for some, myself and a few other close friends are content (even happy!) with our roles, pay and companies of employment. I don't currently feel pressure to stress myself out with chasing where the "grass is greener" and that can be labelled as unambitious but honestly... I don't care anymore lol. My mental wellbeing and work-life balance are way more important to me now.
I see this a lot!! And you’re right there’s nothing wrong with being content and staying in a role. I think there’s a sweet spot between the previous work generation and ours in the way we see employment
I would never hire someone who's job hopping every year or so - all that tells me is they have no commitment and are most likely unreliable in the long run.
@@megsley I completely agree with you, I think it's solid to see at least 3-5 years (or more) on a resume to show reliability. As Adella said, there is a sweet spot between being a loyal employee and having boundaries/moving if the job doesn't suit you.
But again, job-hopping has become very trendy recently and tech companies will hire (at least in my city), because they need the workers! It's very interesting.
I remember being a teen and wanting a simple life. Then I became friends with an older woman, who was a dentist by the way, that started to tell me I should marry rich and switch fields and become a doctor and leave the country and marry well. And being so young, I abandon what I originally wanted for what she told me instead and pursued that lifestyle. It exhausted me. Never met a rich man, still single and content with my career choice. People can influence you indeed and we tend to think that just having a life where your needs are met along with some of your wants is not good enough and somehow you would have failed and would be settling. Especially seeing social media glamorize a certain lifestyle over a simple life. Well I'm 25 and I'm okay with having a simple life. Its too much of a hassle for me.
A simple life is actually less stress as long as your needs are met like you said! If you want more then that's ok too but it's not by force xx
After 10 years in a stressful work industry, striving and struggling to be above average, I developed an autoimmune disease. Stress does real and lasting damage to your body. I’m all about being average now! But I still feel guilt and shame for not “hustling” like those around me and fear that people perceive me as lazy. Normalise being average!
Thank you for commenting this. Really puts things into perspective.
I have wanted to be an instagram model for so long, but trying to grow my account for years just hasn’t worked. All the hard work makes me realize how much I rather just be “average” less stress. I’m literally considering deleting social media so I can just focus on work and family.
In this generation we forget about what’s right in front of us and the beauty of it all.
No you don’t have to go as extreme as me 😂
I deleted instagram & after 2 weeks I didn't even think about it & now it's been 2 months & I have no desire to go back. I'm only on UA-cam & pinterest now & work & famy life is richer. I say go for it 💜
You're probably living a lot better than those instagram models. A lot of them don't actually make as much money as you think they do anyway. You'll be fine.
As someone who works crazy hours in hospitality, a scheduled 9-5 Monday to Friday is the absolute dream!
I feel like the whole hustle and become your own entrepreneur "push" is a last attempt to escape the bleak reality. If you can't beat them join them, that kind of thing ? Working a 9-5 was good enough to sustain a middle class lifestyle and save enough money for retirement. That just won't do it anymore for a lot a people.
Because the prices are rising this quickly too, for many, they NEED to side hustle
This is true!
Exactly I have a graduate job at a start up company and a side job at university, but I realised my expenses still were too much and I needed to develop a side hustle if I was going to be able to save any money. Cost of living crisis actually forced people to search for extra ways of making income because J.O.B = JUST OVER THE BREADLINE.
"Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more, and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands..." ~ 1 Thess 4; God never lied 🙏🏽
God never lies!!
Baby I’m about to move to a smaller town and take advantage of the housing opportunities. I currently live in Houston and I’m not about to work 2-3 jobs just to keep up with a lifestyle that honestly will not make me happy.
My dream life does not cost that much lol. I sat down and actually did the math. It’s nice to know fulfillment is literally within arms reach.
"Average" is such a relative thing.
An easy example is, for those of you who have family "back home", is how people back home think you're rich when you barely putting money in your savings if at all lol.
I love average. I'm content most of the time. I find joy in the little things. When happiness comes my way I embrace it. When the opposite comes my way I try to weather the storm.
As Gary V put it, and I'm paraphrasing a bit, if you're ok and content with where you're at, that's fine. One might think he's being sarcastic/facetious. Even if he is, it's true.
I agree. Average is very different to different people
Lol that first paragraph is too real and frustrating like no aunty I'm suffering over here haha!
I feel like I needed to see this rn
Oh my, there are times when I feel ashamed because I'm not an entrepreneur. Because I'm working for someone, because I don't have any others indicator of success...so glad you talk about this!
There's literally nothing to be ashamed of xx
Nah that's normal you should feel fine tbh, entrepreneurs are outliers and not the norm. Honestly every time I think about my CEO and how he has to pay my salary I feel relief that I don't have to worry about paying anyone else other than my savings account.
What are your reasons for wanting to live an above average life?
Would love to hear this from the perspective of being Black (and maybe even a Black woman) - there’s this whole added pressure with “Black Excellence” and “Black Girl Magic” etc…
My reasons are mainly
1. I think a lot about generational wealth. Setting my children up to live a life that doesn't restrict them because of the hard work their parents were able to put in.
2. I like nice stuff lol. I want to travel lots and enjoy some of the material things I genuinely am interested in and I think that will require me to have an above average income :)
3. Generosity. I try to be generous now and I think an above average life will just give me more opportunity to help people. My family, friends, strangers whoever
@@AdellaAfadi It scares me, because 1 and 3 of your reasons are things that I envisage for myself, but I WANT to be able to do those without striving to be in the top 5-10%.
Being trapped in an elevator with Tony Robins is my worst nightmare; I am happy being average.😄
Omg 😂
I literally laughed out loud when I read your comment.
Bahahahaha
Someone i know just closed their business bc it was damaging their health!! Hair falling out to. I stopped business to, it aint for everybody!!
Oh gosh! Glad they were able to make a decision that benefited what’s really important!
great video! once you figure out what is of most value to you and your life, whatever is deemed as average or not, becomes quite unimportant
Yep!!!
Funny enough discussed this in uni today
I came across a video a few weeks back similar to this topic where this woman decided that she wanted to live a normal life so she quit her full time job and switch to part time so she can be able to be at home with her daughter the rest of the time. She didn't want to be apart of the hustle & bustle and I feel that so much. I always said if I didn't have a passion for singing, acting, and writing, I would go and live remote by the mountains because there is nothing wrong with being normal or "average". You create the life that is best for you and ONLY you. Never let a society decide your happiness.
Yes make a video on the influx of motivational speakers.
I work at a start-up in Uganda. I'm not the founder just an employee there. While I don't consider myself talented in entrepreneurship through my work I have gotten real first hand and hands on experience on what business is like. Business isn't all rosy like the way motivational speakers portray it. Business isn't easy. It's rough. I could write a whole paragraph about my business experience but I'll leave it at that.
Ugh I feel this so much. I really want to just live a normal, simple life of routine and enjoyment. But the constant pressure to be something bigger and fulfill my family's dreams (I'm Indian) keeps me paralyzed. If it's not a good enough job I know what I'm going to hear - all the negatives, why didn't I become a doctor or engineer, etc. But, because no one listened to all of my cries for help as a child, my less-than-perfect academic record (due to untreated and ignored but incredibly obvious ADHD) makes me feel inadequate and undeserving of success. Regardless, I am "not enough." It's a terrifying place to be - newly recognized as learning disabled, trying to work through negative self thought and toxic family behavior, and feeling like I'm not allowed to take the time to grow on my own before accomplishing something I'm "supposed" to do to make everyone proud. Whew. I am in therapy guys don't worry LOL
people need God. They're chasing materialism
Agree
I very much appreciate your use of definitions in your videos.
Thank you 😊
Honestly yeah all this hustle culture talk was stressing me ot because entrepreneurship isn't for everyone, myself included. This was the breath of fresh air that I needed.
Thank you for speaking about this! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Love this !!!
This is the second video of yours that I have watched. 1st one was about having a hobby. For most of my life (my family/friends) have encouraged me to give up my hobbies in exchange for more income. The result: I have not made more income and I have a less positive outlook on life.. Hopefully, one day I hope to follow my intuition instead of being persuaded by others.
BTW, your hair looks beautiful and healthy! Keep up the great work.
I'm not a very ambitious person. I suck at multitasking too. Recently, I almost got depressed because I was struggling mentally to change myself. It didn't feel like I was doing enough and it sucked to see people doing far better and planning their futures. But, I'm better now, and honestly I'll just keep doing what I can when I can.
Thank you SO much for this message. Everyone i follow really have this mentality and when you disagree , they take it as we are afraid of money or something . Some of us are not interested in living a luxurious life , i really do believe that ppl are so obcessed with materialistic things , they equal it to "success" and happiness . What is funny is that they always seem to lack a serious relationship for example , most of them are single , so I supposed that was the sacrifice they don't even realize are making . Thank you so much for this 🙏
Hate to bring Kevin Samuels talk round here lol (bit of a sour topic since his passing) but that was one of my takeaways from him. He berated many women but he kept hammering on the point that they are average and for some reason it was seen as an insult. To the point the whole “average at best” thing blew up. All that made me think was what’s so wrong with that? Have we “self loved” and “self-developed” ourselves to the point we have to give ourselves a grandiose self image and be aghast if called average? There’s nothing wrong with it and admitting you fall into this category.
He never meant it as an insult. One of his biggest messages was that average is fine. He was mostly hammering the point that if you're average you should seek average partners.
Yeah I didn’t agree with a lot of his points but I agree that average is fine!
Adella, thank you!
And this is why I love your channel!
Thank you !! xx
Also people don’t stop to think about how race affects these desires to “have it all” and be the boss. If you’re always programmed to NEED to be 5x as good as others do even be considered, you’re creating your whole life around the perspective of other people who may employ you or use your business/service. Instead of understanding who you are and what you want as a POC.
Yes. Please talk about the motivational speakers.
The motivational speakers are really the worse, like every corner I turn someone's saying that I need to wake at 5 am like NOOOO!!
I enjoy your content it keeps me grounded & balance. You always give me something to think about. It’s so easy to get caught up in the hustle culture web.
Thank you!!! 😁
I just found this channel….
Going down a rabbithole and seeing your videos. Thank you for you, an being all yourself. Very inspiring!!💕
Its just nice to see someone all calm, nice and warm. 💕
You feel like a friend, and that makes me enjoy your videos even more.
Love this and your channel has some really great videos 🤗 x
Thank you so much 😊
we definitely need that video on motivational speakers and videos
Love your content 🥰
Thank you
You are so pretty!
There’s a song by Alan Jackson called Itty Bitty that perfectly encapsulates this idea:
Have a little love on a little honeymoon
You got a little dish and you got a little spoon
A little bitty house and a little bitty yard
A little bitty dog and a little bitty car
Well, it's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while
A little bitty baby in a little bitty gown
It'll grow up in a little bitty town
A big yellow bus and little bitty books
It all started with a little bitty look
Well, it's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while
Love this!
Just gone through therapy for anxiety through the NHS and they’re privatising it as of next year and that’s the moment I realised wow
Really needed this video it hit home for me 😀 small little blessed life is all I desire and I’m more then content with that.
I’ve been told my dreams are to small. I just think it doesn’t take a lot to make me happy.
I used to be one of those people who strived to be the best but it's astonishing how detrimental it is to your mental health. I'm much happier being average and trying my best than trying my best but having unrealistic expectations of my skills
Your hair is everything
Thank youuuu x
You are so stunning it's memorizing😍 love what you speak on
Omg thank you 🤭
Adella how do you always manage to pour out so much wisdom in such short time???
Godliness w content is great gain!! It’s ok to be HAPPY w just what you have
Just to let you know your hair is looking AMAZEBALLS!! Oh yeah, the video was also great too, it's fine to just be relaxed and content with where you are if you're in a good place.!! Oh did I tell you that I love your HAIRR??? Love it!!!!!
YES!! Would love to see a video with you talking about the cringe motivational speakers.
Some people can’t even be average, most are suffering below average and still acting like their more than both. Personally I am average but I want more outta of life. I think a lot people don’t understand, we all start out average and we work harder to not be on that level anymore.
Average means you're where you should be, compared to others, based on tried and true assessments. The types of algorithms defining "average" tell us what milestones to look for as our children grow.
The question is: do you want a healthy, happy baby or one that walks at 7 months, for bragging rights? Most would agree that they would be greatful for a child who hits expected milestones and is equipped to function in the general society.
So if you're in your mid-20s, for example, you should focus on being able to support yourself (rent, bills, healthcare, etc.). The pressure to become "above average" has fueled the "failure to launch" trend among today's young adults. Why aim for average when you can fake it till you make it from your parents' basement on social media?
By the way:
There is no such thing as a life that's better than yours.
-J Cole
Please do a video on motivational speakers. They drive me insane
Personally, I don’t see myself wanting to become an entrepreneur. I don’t have the creativity or the motivation to work for myself. And like knowing when I’ll get paid instead of chasing after people to respond to my invoices. There’s enough stress in this life😭. I just want to do well and excel in my career. But I respect those who have the passion and motivation to become an entrepreneur
Sidebar: The Hair is Hairing💜🤩
Why thank you 🤭
The "Shikamaru" mindset.
I just want a simple life focused on my loved ones and having a fulfilling personal life with hobbies and creative pursuits. I hate working and would happily give up in the future if privileged enough to do so (e.g. career break to focus on kids if I'm able to have kids and partner able to support us for a while). I keep going for now so I can buy a house with my partner and hopefully have better options down the line. Rent is more expensive than mortgages in Ireland so ironically I should actually have more options to go part time or take a lower salary but more fulfilling job after buying a house.
No because i always ask myself this question. Is this what I want/ am or is this what I’m supposed to want/be?
Just want to be at peace with being average,and I know its not even a bad thing to be rationally.....
Oh boy, I would love to be your friend :) new sub here
For a while, I have accepted that mediocrity/average isn’t something that I’m averse to, and it has helped guide my actions/form my principles. I don’t know if that makes sense.
One thing, I do take into consideration, though, is environment. I’m Nigerian, and I live in Nigeria. Even when you tell yourself that you never want to become that person that’s constantly chasing what society has said needs to be chased, you find that getting the bare minimum only happens when YOU chase.
The average person ( which at this point is nuanced) in Nigeria STRIVESSSS just to be able to have food in their bellies, a safe place to live, access to what those in more developed countries might call basic.
Throw faith and spirituality into the mix and it’s a different story. So, now I say that only God is able to conjure the kind of life that I see for myself
As a side note, this video seemed to me to be strangely skin-deep when it came to talking about this topic, which seems unusual coming from Adella. On top of that, such a big percentage of the video's time was allocated to talking about a sponsor... It seems weird to me considering most of your videos tend to focus on the discussion and analysis in a more in-depth manner. Just something I noticed and wanted to give feedback on (I mean well, I generally watch and enjoy the videos from this channel).
Thank you I appreciate the feedback. My videos take a LONG time to prepare so I hope you can appreciate that I won’t always have the capacity to go deep and in depth with every single upload. Sometimes my videos will be quick think pieces like this. Also therapy is something I’m passionate about so I don’t mind dedicating a bigger portion to promoting that :)
I’m not happy working a 9-5 however I definitely don’t wanna be anyone’s entrepreneurs or a “boss”. I just wanna do whatever interests me, make good money, and not retire in my golden years. That’s it.
God bless you spiritually, physically, mentally, and financially in Jesus name amen.
We are average and it's ok. Being average is PERFECTLY fine
Who would the entrepreneurs life of if it's not from the 9-5 workers that work for them, and the costumers that are also 9-5 workers but work for somebody else?
Most entrepreneurs work more than 8 hours a day, at least in the begging. They may not work for a boss or an owner, but they still buy stuff to other entrepreneurs and work to satisfy the employees.
You can't get out of the system by being an entrepreneur. We all depend on each other and don't exist individually. Until we don't understand that, the bad in the world won't stop. The bad is made by people that think they they are better than average and more important than most people. Not realizing how they need the rest of us.
Btw, this video was too shorts. It's not telling us nothing new nor isn't an opinion. What is this video about? Half of it was the introduction and the sponsor. I'm sorry, but this was way below my expectations.
Yes I really dislike the busy/grind culture that is being pushed, I’m a housewife who’s child isn’t in any sport or random after school club because we let him decide what he wants to do. I enjoy the quiet times at home with and without my family and my husband is home by 6 most week nights.
Anyone else feels like this is not as much of a deal here in Europe and probably just an extension of the american dream?
We are tired of working for someone abs dying with a small pension. Everyone should aspire for better
My sister has her own business. The entrepreneur lifestyle is not for me. You have no life. Wake up at 4am and sleep at 12am. Have to be on it 24/7, can't spend time with friends and family like that. I'm good thanks.
Is it okay to be below average?
If you're necessities are met you aren't miserable, sure.
Yeah I guess that’s a personal decision. If you’re happy and content then I don’t see why not 😊
Adella, you spent 3mins out of a 7mins video talking about the sponsor. ☹️. This was not enjoyable. I personally do not mind promos but 3mins would be better suited for a 20-30mins video. Maybe cut the sponsor talk to
thought I was the only one who noticed that 😅
Thanks for the feedback. I personally think therapy is important and very relevant to this topic because personally this is what led to my anxiety and seeking help so I don’t mind dedicating a bigger portion to that. I also don’t have the capacity to make every upload 20-30mins. Hope you can appreciate that
I think this is kind of the point Kevin Samuels was making. By the definition most of us are average. And he made the simple argument that it doesn’t make sense for an average women to think she is too good for an average man. Of course we always want better but our outcomes are normally a result of who we actually are.… great video btw me and my friends have this conversation all the time
Unfortunately, the 70k theory has already been disproved and we do continue to become happier with more money
If that was true millionaires wouldn’t commit suicide but several have over the pass few years.
