    hey guys!! welcome to a lil video on how I'm trying to embrace uncertainty after graduating and figuring out my path. I filmed this before I went on vipassana and it's crazy how much that experience helped me cultivate an abundance mindset where I already felt like my life was full and that my options truly are infinite!!
    I also wanted to write a lil disclaimer that I know sitting in uncertainty after graduation comes with the privilege to rely on a family home to go back to -- and in my case, savings from my UA-cam work!! Not everyone has the luxury to take time in choosing their next steps. However, no matter what your situation, cultivating a scarcity or abundance mindset will definitely affect how you view your life and future opportunities. I dare you to dream big and be imaginative because we only live this life once. 🥹 Even if your dream life feels SO out of reach, there will always be an opportunity to get you closer if you believe it and look hard enough. As someone whose parents didn't go to university, I never dreamed I'd end up studying abroad at an institution like Minerva; it was the dream I dared myself to imagine. What hidden dreams are you fostering? Lots of love!! 💌

    Hello friends!! 🦋✨🥰 I filmed this video before going on vipassana and it’s crazy how much more I resonate with the *feeling* of an abundance mindset after sitting with myself for so long! I hope that no matter what your life looks like, you empower yourself to believe that your options are endless!! 🤝🥹 some of the best advice I’ve heard is just to choose something, see how it goes and pivot as needed to work towards a life that feels value-aligned

    As a 43yo mom going back to University, with two kids, a mortgage, a successful career already, I would say there is no reason to expect to have the path figured out as a teen/young adult. Embrace life long learning. Also, start! It doesn't matter if you don't know what you want to do with the rest of your life. You'll likely not want to do one direction for the rest of your life! That's such a lie. I love how the content creator here guides you through things to think about like where you want to live, if You're not willing to move away from home, don't waste money studying for a degree that forces you away from family. Take time. Literally you have a lot more than people pretend. Also, if you get a job as an entry-level person at a large company, most likely (in these days) the company will pay for your education! Go ahead and start at every level somewhere to avoid tuition. Just focus on what makes you happy. Life is long (and short) and it doesn't make sense to spend time stressing over something that WILL change over time - like what do I want to do for the REST of my life?

    I am 27 and still going through this uncertainty. I graduated from my undergrad in 2018 and had that same crisis so I jumped into a year of service program and then I went straight into my masters while working and then after all of that finished and after I was so unsatisfied and unfulfilled in that job, I’m back in that uncertainty mindset. I am now about to leave for a year of teaching in Spain, which is a dream I’ve always had. I feel like I’m late to the game of following those dreams, that I should be set in a life and starting a family now, but I’m trying to get away from shoulding myself because like you said, there’s no one-size-fits-all life. I think we go through this phase of uncertainty at many stages in life and I think you give wonderful tips on how to embrace it! Our lives don’t have to mirror those around us. We can create our own path, and sometimes those paths may line up again, but we should do it out of choice, and not out of fear of following our own path.

    I cannot thank you enough. This video has summed up the emotional rollercoaster I have been on for the last 6 months. My experience in school was much the same; the academic type, school captain, involved in so many extra things to the point where I was constantly busy, but this business provided a sense of purpose and stability that made me feel safe and secure. I finished high school last year and went straight into uni because it matched up with the linear journey I was on. Just two weeks into my degree, I was already having doubts. I think I knew it didn't feel right from the start but I had been ignoring my intuition. I decided that I didn't want to live a life where I deprived myself of what I truly wanted, so I deferred my degree and moved to the other side of the world with a working holiday visa. I have been trying to lean into the joy of spontaneity and the excitement of the unknown, but the fear and doubt that comes with walking a more pathless path has certainly had its challenges. Thank you for sharing the beauty that comes with uncertainty, and for reminding me that I am not alone in this journey ✨💕

    Please also NEVER forget: What life looks like today doesn’t dictate what it must look like tomorrow. Far too often we, as individuals, get stuck in the mindset of: Well, this is what I chose, when the truth is actually ALWAYS; this is what I chose right now but tomorrow I have the ability to choose again and start on a new path too. So long as there is tomorrow, it is NEVER too late. NEVER.

This video just makes me feel more grounded and trusted in my upcoming uncertain time

  • @ElevatorLunch

    I really appreciate the sentiment and I understand how you are trying to (and probably will) improve people’s mindsets here. However, I think characterising poverty and passport strength as a “scarcity mindset” under-appreciates the real struggles that people without privileges go through. For lots of us watching this video, perhaps the options are infinite. But the fact that (limited) scholarships and access programmes exist does not mean that a person can necessarily access opportunities by changing their mindset. I worry that focussing on individual mindset sidelines the importance of systemic change in improving the lives of the underprivileged.
    I’m sure that it wasn’t your intention to come across like that though and I have been really enjoying your content lately.

    hi! one book that really helped boost my confidence in making decisions is 'Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway' by Susan Jeffers. she introduces two simple graphs to show how we often think of decisions as having a 'right' and 'wrong' path (but even choosing the right path is stressful because you can't possible make every right decision in life). So the better way to think of decisions with A and B paths, is that from every oppurtunity you win/ learn something different (skills, people, money, oppurtunities etc). it's a good read for understanding fear and uncertaintly. could be added to the concepts you introduced 😊 i recommended it, even just to skim through it.

    Not so long ago I realized that studying abroad is what I’ve always wanted. The upcoming studying year is going to be my final year of university where I’m currently studying. Even though I’m very grateful for the opportunity to study there, I’ve never liked it, it has never felt right, I’ve never could relate to my classmates because they actually enjoyed it (most of the time) but I’ve always felt like I am not where I am supposed to be.
    I’ve been feeling very upset for the past couple of weeks. Today, something just told me to watch something by Jade. And here I am, and I am very grateful.
    Thank you, Jade! You made me feel a lot better. You truly are a wonderful, magical person💕 Thank you for everything that you do!

    To be honest with you, I haven’t been keeping up with your content regularly for some time now… but I never unsubscribed. I’ve seen all your videos pop up as you post them but just haven’t been watching. We don’t have any beef I promise haha, I just didn’t feel pulled to keep up. But like I said, I never unsubscribed. I never found a reason to. I have had many times when I go through my subscribed list and clean it up, but I never had the slightest thought to unsubscribe to you. Not once. And today, I saw your most recent video pop up, and I thought, “it’s definitely an unjaded jade vibe.”. I went to your channel to find a video and boom. This title.
    I graduated high school in June of 2022 and took a gap year. I didn’t do any traveling or anything but it has been, by far, the most transformative, busy year of my life. Since January, by the end of every month (sometimes much earlier even) I think “this has been the craziest month of my life”… until the next month gets rolling. All eight months so far, every single one has topped the last in this way and now I’m here. Peace. True neutrality. Uncertainty. I’ve been sitting in it for just a few days but it’s been really really hard. I didn’t know it but I’ve been sat in a scarcity mindset. And this video. This video showed me there’s another way.
    I may never know how deeply this moment will impact me over time, but right now, it’s everything. Thank you so much for continuing to grow here. I feel so grateful to have found your content so long ago because now you’ve helped me again. More than you could ever know. Thank you. 😊💗

    Awwww Jade I'm a few years older than you so I know different and stressful finishing uni can feel. But thanks for bringing so much insightful content to my life. Even when things are tough I always think of what you told me about Growth Mindsets and Waking Up Early. I really got into waking up early in 2019 so thank you for the 4 years of influence. But yes I've had the worst outcomes of decisions yet you've picked myself up and got back in the race. There is way more out there than people really think! For example I was bullied at work. But I used that experience to become a trade union rep. Now I've met so many amazing people and the trade union work brings me joy every time I do it. That woman who bullied me will never know how much I've helped other people, learned from other people, been to new places. Thanks ❤🎉

    For someone who dreams too much sometimes, imagining your life and then comparing it can also be quite a painful process, like how to deal with the fact that its not like your ‘dream’ or that certain things are indeed out of reach like loved ones that have gone or political situations that restrict your life- I agree that a scarcity mindset is unhelpful, but what we are never taught is how to deal with pain that comes with uncertainty

    JADEEEE I CRIED. JADE. I CRIED. this gave me flashbacks of the time i used to watch your videos right before exams and during the exam season- just like you showed in your videos, i used to write affirmations like "i am worthy and capable of achieving all my academic and life goals. i am confident about my vision and goals, i believe and love myself" over and over in my journal along with my daily study goals, i was so scared and nervous during my 10th grade final examinations season(they're looked at as 'important' in my country as well) but your book and your videos gave me the hope and strength no other resource could manage to give. you are the reason why i used to visualize myself 'walking into the examination hall confidently and calmly solving the paper, believing that i will remember answers to all questions eventually'. and now i just started 11th grade, AND LITERALLY FEW DAYS AGO i was crying and crying because i wasn't so sure about my future goals(i had been very sick and hadn't been to school for a while so i had a lot of time to think); i want to go to film school but that path seems so blurry and i was so scared, scared that i might fail, that i might never get to be a director or get to go to film school and even if i do there's no guarantee i will earn enough for a living, etc i talked with my mom it's all okay now(i am okay with the fear. i am still going to try my best with the film school plan, i promise. i won't give up. ) but THIS this video is exactly what i needed. now, i don't know much but over time i've learnt that listening to you and trusting that the universe will support and guide me gives me a sense of comfort i wouldn't trade for anything. jade, your content, your story has helped me SO MUCH throughout my life i can't put it in words. it's so strange how different our lives are, we live in different countries yet somehow your content has always found a way of helping me immensely through difficult times. and for that i truly, genuinely, want to thank you with all my heart for being so honest and sharing your story, i can assure you- you have truly helped "at least one person" here(me). thankyou, truly, you are incredible, a sister i always wished to have, i love the internet for giving me that.

      @lorenzocreation3262 10 місяців тому +2

      I like how you formalated it. Yea, navigating through uncertainty always starts with accepting to land into an undefined land by using our our creativity and divergent thinking. The more we train our creativity network, the more we will not be affraid to venture in the unknown and it gives more adrenaline to discover something we did not expect.
      For example: They are people who learn things through books or people by getting the information directlt, but others might find the information by themselves through exploration of the make or experience.
      I guess you are making a reference to lateral thinking which is finding different areas to "approfondir", rather than learning more in an area or sublimating what we already know.

    🦋Jade I just wanted to tell you that you 've impacted my life and continue to in such a positive way. You sometimes say something and it happens to be what I needed to hear at that moment, a slight perspective change in mindest which however means so much, or you give me ideas for the future. For example I was soo excited watching your interrail videos back in the day and last I went interrailing myself too. I don't know if I would have known about it in such detail had it not been for you. Now after your last video I know I really would like to do vipassana one day. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and life with us I am so grateful to you for doing it🦋

    I graduated from my Bachelor (business) over two years ago. First, my intuition told me to stay home, so I just took a job at a bookstore to make some money. Then, found a Master (social studies) in Korea, applied, went to Korea for 3 months, came home, worked in event management. Realized it's not for me. But also didn't go to Korea, even though I got accepted. Gut feeling told me so. Worked for the last 8 months with people with disabilities. Loved it. Gut feeling told me Korea is still what I need to do. Leaving in 2 weeks to start my Master. I was also uncertain, but I have tried and found things that I like and things I don't. I got to get to know myself better. 😊

    Hi Jade, I really enjoyed this video!! have been watching you since my junior year of hs and now I'm entering my junior year of college hehe ü
    what i'm about to write is with the intention of constructive feedback. I'm thrilled you're getting so many sponsorships but I personally feel iffy about you agreeing to be sponsored by betterhelp over and over. this last year they have been exposed as a really noxious company that cares very little about clients' well-being - i encourage you to do your research if necessary. i really don't think they align with the positivity and selflessness you preach and practice, and wish you wouldn't give them a bigger platform. i sooo understand that youtube is your job and u gotta get the bag, but please don't sacrifice your values in the process. sending you love and clarity ! xx

    Thank you for this. I recently had to make a very hard decision that completely changed my life and I stressed for months about which was the right decision. It is so difficult to decide when you think there is a good choice and that you have to find it. And everything always gets better when you just take the pressure off and sit with yourself in silence listening to your gut

    I don't think I've ever discovered a person who completely understands exactly what I'm going through! Completely thanks to you, I am going to be applying to the next available vipassana service near me. I've decided to meditate during my free time instead of distracting myself with attention-captivating online content or participating in harmful behaviors like obsessing over food and exercise; to believe that I CAN heal from my problems and thrive; and to sit in the insecurity with an abundance mindset and build the life and future that I want instead of settling for less. I love you!

    I feel like this video popped up for me today. In 4 days I’m setting out to leave for military boot camp. It has been my dream since I was a child, I’m finally gonna train to be an army doctor. I’m beginning to feel slightly scared, because I recently just have my first real holiday in years, finally have free time, and now I’m going to a place that is hot as hell to train and study my butt off again, but in a different way. I feel excited as well as mildly overwhelmed already. Thank you so much for your videos, Jade, congrats on your graduation!❤️

    I just love your content soooo much. I was inspired by you to do an exchange and I think it is interesting to see how you are going through the same situations as I am. I actually hate uncertainty and I feel like this year has been plagued by it and it has taken a toll on me. Sometimes I worry about things I cannot control. I made a mistake that will make things take longer for me but I really want to follow my heart and follow my dreams. I just don't know how to do that without being a burden but anyways, thank you for being my comfort space and kind of like the person I follow and look up to. 💕💕🌟

So I've been sticking it out with freelance as that's what's making me happy :) Genuinely felt so alone with this so this video is so refreshing

    I recently graduated high school and went through a MAJOR depressive episode of my life. It really fucked with the academics. I applied to a lot of universities and got rejected by the majority of them. Now my only option is to attend a university I did not want to attend. On top of this, I'm not sure what I want to study for my uni. All I know is I do want to experience uni. This uncertainty and self-doubt is scary. I don't know what to do. This video was everything, Jade. Thank you so much. 💕

    Thank you for this video. It was in my opinion one of the best and impacful ones you have made (tied with the Casual Magic video). So much wisdom and I agree with you in your reasoning. I have faced many moments of uncertainty in my life and have felt so alone but I feel so proud that I have let the uncertainty be there until I feel in my gut that the next decision is good and right for me. It has allowed me to grow and align more with my goals and dreams. Thank you again Jade for sharing your optimism and energy!
    All the best,

    This is Rayisha from India! I must say...this video has been dropped in at just the right time. 🌟I recently graduated from my University and am currently looking for jobs since that's what we are "supposed to do." I am afraid that I don't know what kind of life I envision for myself 🤔but for sure I know the feeling: FREEDOM 💫...be free and in control of my time and how I utilize it! Have no idea where is life gonna take me, but I hope it'll all turn out okay in the end. Loads of things to worry about, yet loads of things to be thankful for! 😇
    Thank you Jade for sharing your thoughts so openly! 💕
    Love,

    Heyyy jade I hope your doing alright? I’m in my last year of O-level (my exams are in Oct/Nov 2023) and have been watching u a lot for sometime. I’m at a current point in my life where I’m stressing about exams, yet at the same time thinking about the future. Unlike some, I don’t have a certain area or subject which I think I excel at or love, so I still have no clue what to do for A levels next, though I have talked to many I still am clueless. Thank you for talking about this ^^
