I'm loving how these comments are full of different spectrums. From stressing about a math test in school, to awaiting approval for a loan on a house, to court hearings that could change the course. I hope all of you are doing well, and continue to do so. If not, you WILL get there. Sincerely, someone who saw this video on their 365th day clean from heroin.
Wow, that's an insane feat. I can't even begin to imagine how hard that was or how you even accomplished it, but huge congratulations. If you don't mind, I'd like to hear how your life has changed from accomplishing this
I guess in the end it doesn't really matter. You cannot know for sure if a certain path will be right or not for you until you try it. My suggestion would be: dont be afraid to try new stuff and dont be afraid to stop it if you actually don't enjoy it. Its been a bit less than a year that I started trying new stuff "just cuz I can" and already ended up finding a lot of hobbies and professional interests I couldn't have imagined to be so enjoyable. So, literally, just stop overthinking and start actually doing something, 1% by 1%. And good luck!
I agree, but sometimes the best option is to keep going even if we are not 100% sure where are we trying to get. I once saw a vdeo about a guy speaking about this, and he said that even if we don´t get where we wanted to, at least we got some perspective of what do we ACCTUALLY want and what we really don´t, and that the main thing in the end. Of course, sometimes is better to take some time for ourselves, and re-think what are we trying to achieve (or avoid) and the actions we take to do that. Just know that as long as you keep trying you'll succeed
There are lots of ways and paths but in the end you will have to choose one, and even if you don't know one...just get lost in the depths of darkness till you find one that actually excites you....What's the point of choosing the easy route where you get no fun at all,, choosing a harder path but having the enjoyment and happiness of your lifetime is all that really matters even if it means that you'll lose your old typical version....Just F*ck it and risk it all.
That's it. I'm doing it! I'm starting my business. Everyone please wish me luck! Its new years and I Dont need to be perfect by this time next year but I will be better! I will be closer to my dream
Some people really cant change their lives. Id say a good portion can, but a lot of sucess is being in the right place, right time. I think a lot of people are in that right place right time and for many people the risks to find out are worth it. But many people arent and its admirable for many people such as parents to not put their children on the line for a chance
finding this video on the last day of 2024.. i really needed this motivation; and i don't know why but this just made me cry because i was always trying so hard to achieve my goals, but i generally failed. i will start from now, and i hope that 2025 will be a great year for all of us!
1:14 “It gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you gotta do it every day, that's the hard part. But it does get easier” - the jogging baboon from Bojack Horseman
nah, they're not mutually exclusive. by developing the strength to start moving forward, it DOES become easier to continue moving forward. strength begets ease.
@@dogevoadoriii good times, weak men, and all that. the only people i know who've completely avoided abject misery at any point in their lives are not people i respect, or look up to. they are at best; sheltered, passively apathetic, and friendly. at worst, you get nepo babies.
I'm in high school and a friend I was very close to was in the hospital with anorexia pretty much exactly a year ago. I was the only one in our friend group who would visit her. She recently dropped me and turned our whole group against me and while in the grand scheme of things I know this doesn't matter but it's completely changed 2024 for me and I want to use this as an experience to grow. I hope you all can find some form of solace from this ❤
I really needed this, I'm so confused and stressed in this moment of my life, and thanks to this now I feel a little more relaxed. All I want to say is thank you so much for this.
It just dawned on me that the people this relates to are probably the people across the street, the ones sitting next to you on the bus, your classmates, your coworkers, boss, friends, that one person always jogging in your neighborhood, the people you see at restaurants, your waiter, your family.
Literally struggling right now with one of the biggest decisions I might have to make at my age and every time I open any form of social media I'm given signs, even if it's the decision that is harder for me to accept.
@@IAmKye If you take it at face value and don't think about it, sure but if you do then maybe you'll find its meaning. being an audience of change = being passive to everything going on around you entertainment = the things that require minimal interaction to keep a person occupied and content, like the feed on social media
Almost 2025. This video made me feel much better about everything. If you are reading this, whoever you are, I hope you have a happy new year and make it your best year.
You don't even know how much i actually needet this. For some reason it has found me and i don't really belive in coincidences. I think watching this video was actually the first step, and now i actually need to start the walk. Thank you so much that you made this video
That is the sad truth. The majority of people (including me) will forget about this in a day, maybe even an hour but who knows, maybe this will change someone's life and if it helps at least one person, I think the video has done it's job.
almost a year ago, i took a risk and chose the second option. now i am a whole different person who has finally found them self and i am the happiest i’ve ever been. life’s too short to be boring, take risks.
@@inthecloudz1272To an extent but people find the motivation to start stuff in different ways, so if it helps him be better, then it's fine. The biggest thing they need, though, is discipline because motivation can only get you so far.
"A lot can happen in a year" says the intro. It is 12:10 am January 1st 2025, right after replying to all the happy new year texts on my whatsapp. I opened my laptop and this is the first video that i see. Internet works in mysterious ways.
A year ago my dad was alive, I lived with my friends, and I had a beautiful girlfriend. I lost my father to cancer in April, my ex broke up with me in September, and my friends moved away last week. I've lost so much this year but I decided that letting myself heal and starting over is the greatest form of love I can give myself rather than dwelling on the past. I started hitting the gym and lost 20lb and currently in the process of starting a business. The future doesn't look back, and neither should we.
Not just me but whoever got recommended this video. Listen it's never too late to make a choice for many things but it is that you can't change so, don't let that happen.
1:36 Correction. You can 100% fail even if you do the right thing and try your hardest. The key is to enjoy that failure. Expect it even. Always remember the Thrill of defeat and the Agony of victory.
Huh. I mean yes you can do everything right but then it was never gonna work that’s a learning experience there. But how is defeat thrilling? How can failure become comfortable? Unless I’m reading this wrong. Because failure is usually when Bad Things Happen so it’s obviously Bad by extension and I can’t do it. Ever. Or I am Bad and Worthless. I know things go wrong sometimes but sometimes is only sometimes. Anyways. How is defeat ever thrilling? Especially when some kinds of success don’t feel like anything at at.”
I hope your outlook isn't that of having breast cancer, but if it is I know you will beat it. Good luck with 2025, see you here next year to congratulate you on all you've done
I hope it is not true, but even though it is, I know you can get through this. Every people's life has hard parts. Some of them comes before, some are later. All of our's struggles are different too. I hope you do well. Hard times makes us stronger. Sometimes, we are not strong enough to carry them. You don't have to be strong if you are not. Just be flexy. Flexy for other situations. Different things... If you be flexy, you don't have to stand againest hardest things. You just adapt to that things. ❤
i hope youre okay! but did you know? when cancer patients were taught to accept the cancer and make the best out of their lives, they have a higher chance of healing completely. youll be okay either way ❤
Thanks, I'm living happily and chill as a freelance illustrator, but my parents and family only sees a successful life being having a job in a office(it's a weird mindset here in Indonesia) I love you all as well
From the time im writing this, i have about 3 days until i go into a surgery that I've been pushing off for about 4-5 years now, I've been absolutely terrified about getting it, while ive been pushing it my entire social life has died every one has pushed me away all because i didn't want to step out of my comfort zone. To put it in the way you put it in the vid ive been choosing option one for too long, to cut my rambling off this video has cemented the idea in my brain, even if the surgery doesn't help me at i stepped out of my comfort zone for the first time in a very long time Edit:Hey, everyone I'ma keep it short for now, but thanks for every one who took the time to write me a little something you don't know how much you guys have helped me in the past few days the actual surgery part is tomorrow and I'll update all when I come to but one last time thank you all
I never liked being home. I never liked the monotony of going to school and seeing everyone being the same. I never like staying in one place and always dreamed of going somewhere that I felt like I belonged more. I'm graduating college next year and will be going to university abroad soon. I used to want to go somewhere else but now... I'm not as sure anymore. I have friends that I don't want to leave behind but... I know this choice is still right for me. I want to go abroad. I want to stay there. Leave behind the parts of life that I didn't like, my home. And keep the things I did like, my friends... I'm gonna go whether I feel ready or not. I want to do it. For the first time in my life, I'm sure that I want to do something. I want something major to happen. I want to make it happen. ... I'm gonna make it.
You are making it already. My son graduated college, moved to England, completed grad school and traveled Europe. Now he is working in a hospital, in a happy relationship and enjoying his best life. He comes home to visit friends and some traveled to England to visit him. Blessings and congratulations. I'm so proud of you.
hi! the only thing i can say is do it. i felt the same way a year ago 9the video was right!). I had the choice of staying in one place, doing the safe thing, doing it for my family and friends. But i made the choice to move to Finland for my 10 month internship, and it was the best choice I ever made. The experiences, good bad and ugly, the people I met, the things I saw. I am forever changed, and i wish this experience on everyone. You can do it!
if you get the chance to work for the public eye, do it! I had social anxiety a year ago and working as a waitress helped me so much. If not, try to challenge yourself daily/weekly to talk to ramdom people. At first is the worst, but the second time is easier, the third one a bit more and so on. Hope this helps. God bless you my equal
i had a really rough nostalgic night recently and this kind of mindset really helps me snap back to reality. i heard a while ago that you aren't the same person as you were yesterday. the you of today has the choice to be better than the you of yesterday, and the you of tomorrow can be set up for success or failure based on the actions of the you of today. make a simple goal. set the you of tomorrow up to work towards it. make it easy for your tomorrow self to work towards the goal. look at yourself not as an individual, but as a collective. you are the sum of how each day is spent, so spend each independent day wisely.
Today, 13/12/24 I'm going to start working for my dream, my life and for myself!! And this time i will not quit! I will not back off and i will not make the mistake of procrastinating ever again! I will get the life i want, i will do everything it takes for me to make my parents proud of me! 💌
Excuse me sir/miss... Um... Where do you live exactly? Because Earth doesn't have 13 months and I feel really gods dam bad that you have 13 months in your year.. 12 months is long enough😭😂😂
The best advice I've gotten is simple, but I live by it. "There will be good days, there will be bad days. But you've got to live through all of them. You can't skip the bad ones." Because it's a reminder that a part of life and being human is that there will be all kinds of days but I've gotta keep going through all of them
this! i never thought about it that way, and its definitely making me think about things differently... time will pass anyway, so why not keep going, 1% at a time?
I understand the intent and while working at something will only make you better, you can't measure how much better you are in percentage as opposed to your past self. It feels comically arbitrary when you sit with it.
My moto at start of this year was to try and think only 2 weeks in advance, and if I wanted to do something I had to do it somewhere in next two weeks, or it's never gonna happen. After a year of this mentality, I started doing martial arts (Muay Thai), changed job, approached many girls, met many new amazing friends, went sailing for first time, went hiking in mountain for first time, started going to dancing classes, and started learning to ski Not thinking too much in advance, not waiting for things too long, and being very open to random change of plans really made me feel happy again
I feel like this depends on what you're planning on doing as there are a good handful of things I did without planning too far ahead into the future, and it ended up being a detriment to me months later lmao
0:07: “your life won't be the same in a year, no matter why” 0:24: “if you go easy and safe, you will stay exactly where you are” thanks a lot, that was actually pretty clear
“your life won't be the same in a year, no matter what" means that stuff will change. Those people around you will come and go, you might change jobs, school, city, apartment, etc.... it's more about external change, the things that change that we have no control over because they simply happen. "if you go easy and safe, you will stay exactly where you are” This is about internal change. The things around you will change, but will you change with them? Will you become better? Start new projects or learn new skills? Or will you stay exactly like how you are now because of "comfort"? I hope this cleared things up!
to the second, i would say: don't go chasing waterfalls. please, stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to. i know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all, but i think you're moving too fast.
me at 3am contemplating life, telling myself ill begin to make a change to myself for the better: also me the next morning laying in bed scrolling through tiktok completely forgetting what i was gonna do:
My uncle was in the military he sadly passed ago. One thing I learned from him that I will always remember is when he said "God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers" He told me this just an hour before he passed
0:39 this is so true. as a person who relying on productivity books and podcasts for a whole year of 2024, the only one important thing is to take action.
surprised youtube decided to recommend this video to me only five days after it being posted It feels like the type of video to get recommended ten years after
I’m probably in the worst slump of my life, quit my toxic job 5 months back and have not found another one, slowly giving up on applying because the rejections or it not working out is too tough to bear. This video made me smile after days and I hope things change for me, even 1% seems like a great start at this point.
Hey man, my apartment is a wreck, I needed this. Even if I don’t finish the dishes tomorrow, I am going to start them. (It’s 1am right now.) thanks. I’ll try to respond to my comment the next time this comes around with my progress.
Thank you for the reminder kind stranger. I feel like God is speaking to all 3.4 million of us watching this. For me personally, this is a reminder to just keep pushing forwards and that I was improving. I just now need to be more consistent so I can become 37x better this year in 2025. I did what I could this year, and I will continue to not settle for less. Making up for all of the procrastination since High School. It's been hard, though what would be harder is to just give up completely. I feel like I was doing this. No. It's time to continue winning.
A LOT CAN HAPPEN IN A YEAR, its true. to anyone who reads this comment i want to let you know that, plz start taking action not necsarilly bold changes that you make in a week for 3 or 5 days,. but to stay taking actions evryday as little as drinking 1 more glass of water is a action for youre development. from last dec 2023 i've been totally focued on my goals, yeah i agree that i faced massive distractions, downfall that made me wrose than i what i was. but i didnt stop. plz brother take action i repeat take actions. you may not see the result today or tommorow but when you'll see the result you'll never think again to be the person of your past. thank you for reading this.
I’ve been praying to God for certain things to change in my life and now this video was just recommended to me. Maybe no one will see this comment, but if you do happen to see it and take a moment to read it, please also say a prayer for me. I have been in a low place both mentally and physically for the last few years due to some things that have happened to me. I let myself gain so much weight to the point that I’ve become unhealthy. I’m too embarrassed to even leave my house most of the time because I’m afraid I’ll see someone I know and they’ll see what I’ve become. I know I can make a change in my life I’ve just been putting it off because I know I have a long road ahead.. To anyone who reads this please pray with me that I am able to find the motivation within myself to get healthy and start feeling good about myself again. Thank you God for sending me this video when I needed it most.
I pray for you. But prayers are useless if they go nowhere, right? Maybe God's silence isnt his absence, maybe its his answer. Its time to make the first move, to better yourself, and trust me, God will follow you. Ко себе чува, Бог га чува. Све најлепше.
I think that’s because you realize the fact that no matter how much you surround yourself with self improvement content and things, it will always be up to you to do the actual work
maybe because you're spending extra time on a motivational video meant to be short so you can spend the extra time doing something real to motivate yourself instead of spending more time commenting on that motivational video.
@@Jason-se1ke I mean, he did say that that stuff "can't do the actual work for you," so that still rings true. You can obviously read/listen these kinds of stuff for knowledge, that's important, just know you have to use some of them at some point
After almost three years of wanting to go back to the gym I got a personal trainet to help me and now I go three days a week. After drawing for basically my whole life I started this youtube channel a couple weeks ago, showing my drawings. I love it and I will see what the future has in store for me. Great video!
id argue its easy to work on a dream once you actually have a dream, i dont have any dreams, any goals and i dont know how i could change that, im stuck in this phase of not knowing what to do with my life and dont know how to get out of it
But actually, for me, my dream feels too out of reach because I don’t have any power (nor money) to get it. Sometime my dream motivate me to wake up in the morning, but when I’m depressed…that dream makes me want to d1e immediately bcs I know I will be devastated when I can’t reach that…
Me too so I decided to just keep working on what I already have just school gym my hobbies and even my personality shit like that... I don't want to wake up one day find myslf a 40years old still standing on the same place with no memories and no life someone said you have to make decisions or they'll be made for you and the fact we'll never be this age again so for me...I'll count on small improvments trying to get a life yk :))
yeah. i've never had a "what do you wanna be when you grow up." I didn't have an answer to "what are you going to college for" or "what are you gonna do when you're done with college." of course when you tell people you don't know they always say "oh you're young! you have time! you'll figure it out!" well I'm not so young anymore and I still don't know. maybe we'll figure out the answers someday.
starting off the year being motivated. it’s honestly so hard for me to get up and actually start working. i know i’m not the only one. but i’d love to know how many people out there that could relate with me.
In 1 year, I'd have graduated from basic training, transferred to a 4 year-college; done with my 2 year community college, moved out to college that is one-hour away, and have gained independence for the first time in my life.
I am over 30 y.o. A student, work part time. I come from a family of workers with no one having academic background. Please stop trying to be better each day. Just try to enjoy the process. The moment, when you are learning something new or have to really engage with material, difficulties or anything, but not to be better To experience, to learn. Not to be better. Just be.
something that should be said, grind culture isn't foolproof, it can't save everyone. just try as much as you can, enjoy life as much as you can and be. just be, as you said.
@@someonethereQ yeah there’s so many videos that are basically just try harder and it will save your life and it’s like yeah but have you considered the people that have tried that at some point and it’s not helped
This definitely found me when I needed it most. My past decisions have cost me so much and I'm tired of just laying around. It's about time I stepped up. All the best in your endeavors guys!
it's true rest and focusing on self care sometimes is also important and knowing when you need it. I think the mentality conveyed here is more of even doing just the minimum as long as you did anything towards this dream is still progress. I struggle both with workout and art in this sense, I have the expectations of where I want to be and start working towards it, but then the progress made is dissapointing as the goal seems further away. But to show up for it everyday will bring results in the long run, as long as I've drawn for 5 minutes or made a quick sketch on the bus it's still a penny in the jar. The video is about chipping away at the hurdle instead of trying to vault it beause the latter seems impossible and the first one only needs patience and persistence
@imafish9070 That's how I feel about these videos when they talk like going out to improve and make changes in your life is easy. I freeze up and have to stop myself from getting sick at even the thought of it, I hate being literally incapable of forcing myself to change even though I know I need to.
Really needed this, I am currently sitting in a car park feeling like a complete outsider... this grounded me. I'm not an outsider, i see myself on the outside. It's very different. Thank you!
this video came to me right before i was diagnosed with MS. i’ve never felt so low. now that i’ve been diagnosed and i seeing it again, im watching it. thank you.
I think this video is really true. Saying or thinking of something won’t do the trick, you’ll have to DO it. “A mile long journey starts with one step.”
Found this on January 2nd. I actually just finished making my goals for the year. I’m 24 out of university and changing my career path, entering college to enter the trades. I’m also working towards being my best self, mainly physically, for myself and for the love of my life. I hope to see you all in a year, 37x better.
This has given me motivation bro. It’s 1am when i’m writing this and i told myself i would fix my sleep schedule. I gave up after 3 days but now i just realised i need discipline to stop doomscrolling and worrying about the future, because certain aspects of the future i can’t control. But i can control when i sleep so why not do that now? Thanks for the video man, really appreciate it :)
Melatonin helps when used sporadically and in small quantities to fix a sleep schedule, I fucked up mine this week so that what I'm doing and it works great, also I know it sucks but avoid screen before bedtime. I take that as an opportunity to read (litt major haha) but you can also journal, doodle, meditate, listen to calm music, or even better white noise (or any "colored" noise that you prefer, I love brown noises) Also if you can afford the time, exercising helps support a good circadian rhythm as well as eating as specific hours
This video found me at the perfect time. After months of being off track with my learning journey, I accidentally opened UA-cam, and this was the first thing I saw. It reminded me how much can change with consistent effort. Thank you for the inspiration...
The reason people quit is not because they have to do it everyday. That’s the most intuitive part that everyone knows is an obstacle. It’s not seeing immediate results that makes most people quit. Also you don’t just get 30 something percent better. That’s not guaranteed. Skill IS acquired through repetition but in the end, it’s always the pilot, not the plane.
I accidentally clicked on this, but im glad i did. I love these types of videos cause it feels personal, but you know you're not the only one. Life continues because you continue. It's scary now, but you got this. It will get better.
Today is 06-12-24, I'm leaving here this comment for my future-self, a year later. Hello beautiful, hope you're doing better than ever, you're healthy and happy and finally healed from everything, put past whoever & whatever hurt you, and finally moved on in your life. Had a great year in 2025 full of new experiences & adventures. You worked hard for the things you wanted to achieve, success or failure doesn't matter, but your hard work, patience, and resilience matters a lot. I'm proud of you, that you never gave up and kept working. Everything will work out for sure, only gratitude and hope 🌸. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for this bestest year 2025 🧿💌
I recently came across this quote: “You only live today once,” and it’s so true-maybe even so obviously true that we often neglect it. Show up every day and see what happens. The time will pass regardless, so why not find out what could happen if you gave it your absolute best every single day, no matter what?
"You cannot fail if you keep trying" is not a good thought. It reinforces resentment of failure, grows paranoia of missteps, increases likelihood of investing in lost causes instead of counting your losses and starting something else when appropriate. What you need is to embrace failure and learn from it.
From a realistic standpoint though, you absolutely can fail no matter how much you try. You can get unlucky, do something that results in permanent consequences, or just be attempting something that literally cannot be done. Luck especially really screws people over
a lot did happen in a year. a lot of bad a lot of good. I got laid off, i had to move, lost part of myself, suffered setbacks and illnesses. But. I got engaged to my best friend, got to eat restaurants i only dreamed off, put all my money into starting a business i've been dreaming of starting, submitted a book and query letter to an editor, started freelancing, got to see friends and family i love. I've started moving towards things i've dreamed of that I never thought possible for me. God has been good to me even through the trials. I pray that 2025 is a year of continued hope and working towards more dreams. Thanks for making this video
i've been trying to live by this mindset, but it's refreshing hearing it from people other than myself. feels like i'm the only one in my family invested in change
I did that, I kept trying to better myself with no path that's clear, no direction, I tolerated a lot of people and a lot of crap in pursuit of a better version of me. Always told my self '' consistency is key '' when I found it difficult I said '' smile on the hardest of days and your mind will think it self happy to get through it '' and when I had setbacks broken bridges to mend I thought " you only fail if you stop trying". Now, I stopped walking, stopped chasing the better version of myself, I stood for a moment and realised I came from the woods and as I walked I only found myself deeper, and all the trees look the same, all the light is gone. I do not know where I came from, with no care where I'm going. And facing one truth, I need to learn to want life again. Edit: I hope everyone reading this will have a good day, and better days ahead!
Choosing option 1 sucks, BELIEVE me. Being 100% better tomorrow is impossible, but I know I can continue to be 1% better each day. Maybe 1% is too much, I can still strive for maybe 0.5% better, because thats still an 18% increase in one year. Becoming a better version of myself is the goal. I hope this video finds me in a few years so I can see how far I’ve come. I also hope everyone chooses to learn from their old self and become better each day.
Finding this on Jan 5, 2025. I was questioning the goals that I wanted to achieve this year and whether or not I was ready to make these life-changing decisions to help me mentally and physically. I was already doubting myself before even starting, but I really needed the motivation to push me to start on the goals, and I found this video at the perfect time. Thank you for this, I will make sure that 2025 will be the year that I treat myself fairly and do what's best for me to become a happier and better version of myself.
See you in six years when this gets recommended to me again.
Placing my time capsule here
Not going to go into all the specifics but you know what’s happening :)
Goodluck bro lfg
See you then
I’ll see ya
See ya. :)
*See you too*
"You overestimate what you could do in a day but underestimate what you can do in a year"
One of the best quotes out there.
Fr this is one of the best quotes I’ve ever heard ❤
This not only is true, but so damn real in almost everything you look at
I ain't gonna lie. You can do a LOT in a single day lmao.
I think it's the other way around
I'm loving how these comments are full of different spectrums. From stressing about a math test in school, to awaiting approval for a loan on a house, to court hearings that could change the course. I hope all of you are doing well, and continue to do so. If not, you WILL get there.
Sincerely, someone who saw this video on their 365th day clean from heroin.
Wow, that's an insane feat. I can't even begin to imagine how hard that was or how you even accomplished it, but huge congratulations. If you don't mind, I'd like to hear how your life has changed from accomplishing this
thats incredible man, hope youre doing well
Damn bro keep it up!!!
Good for you, keep doing whatever you’ve been doing and prosper
Amazing work, keep it up! We may not know you personally but we're proud of you!
This found me at January 1, 2025.
Wow, a great reminder to do better and change. Happy New Year everyone
Same
same
me too.. lets do it and promise I will share my story on 1st January 2026 🙏
happy new year!
samee
I think the most difficult part is not keeping on walking, but knowing where the hell to go.
I guess in the end it doesn't really matter. You cannot know for sure if a certain path will be right or not for you until you try it. My suggestion would be: dont be afraid to try new stuff and dont be afraid to stop it if you actually don't enjoy it. Its been a bit less than a year that I started trying new stuff "just cuz I can" and already ended up finding a lot of hobbies and professional interests I couldn't have imagined to be so enjoyable. So, literally, just stop overthinking and start actually doing something, 1% by 1%. And good luck!
I agree, but sometimes the best option is to keep going even if we are not 100% sure where are we trying to get. I once saw a vdeo about a guy speaking about this, and he said that even if we don´t get where we wanted to, at least we got some perspective of what do we ACCTUALLY want and what we really don´t, and that the main thing in the end.
Of course, sometimes is better to take some time for ourselves, and re-think what are we trying to achieve (or avoid) and the actions we take to do that.
Just know that as long as you keep trying you'll succeed
There are lots of ways and paths but in the end you will have to choose one, and even if you don't know one...just get lost in the depths of darkness till you find one that actually excites you....What's the point of choosing the easy route where you get no fun at all,, choosing a harder path but having the enjoyment and happiness of your lifetime is all that really matters even if it means that you'll lose your old typical version....Just F*ck it and risk it all.
That's why we need mentor.
And that's why they said
"You can learn from everything, everywhere,and everyone"
Ask God to guide you, sincerely and just start walking with random guesses. God will then guide you along.

“Failure is not falling down, but refusing to get up”
@ this is helping
Some people really cant change their lives. Id say a good portion can, but a lot of sucess is being in the right place, right time. I think a lot of people are in that right place right time and for many people the risks to find out are worth it. But many people arent and its admirable for many people such as parents to not put their children on the line for a chance

A year ago my dad was alive, I lived with my friends, and I had a beautiful girlfriend. I lost my father to cancer in April, my ex broke up with me in September, and my friends moved away last week. I've lost so much this year but I decided that letting myself heal and starting over is the greatest form of love I can give myself rather than dwelling on the past. I started hitting the gym and lost 20lb and currently in the process of starting a business. The future doesn't look back, and neither should we.

1:36 Correction. You can 100% fail even if you do the right thing and try your hardest. The key is to enjoy that failure. Expect it even. Always remember the Thrill of defeat and the Agony of victory.
Huh.
I mean yes you can do everything right but then it was never gonna work that’s a learning experience there.
But how is defeat thrilling? How can failure become comfortable? Unless I’m reading this wrong.
Because failure is usually when Bad Things Happen so it’s obviously Bad by extension and I can’t do it. Ever. Or I am Bad and Worthless. I know things go wrong sometimes but sometimes is only sometimes.
Anyways. How is defeat ever thrilling? Especially when some kinds of success don’t feel like anything at at.”

To put it in the way you put it in the vid ive been choosing option one for too long, to cut my rambling off this video has cemented the idea in my brain, even if the surgery doesn't help me at i stepped out of my comfort zone for the first time in a very long time

Wishing you the best!!❤
I never liked being home. I never liked the monotony of going to school and seeing everyone being the same. I never like staying in one place and always dreamed of going somewhere that I felt like I belonged more.
I'm graduating college next year and will be going to university abroad soon.
I used to want to go somewhere else but now... I'm not as sure anymore. I have friends that I don't want to leave behind but... I know this choice is still right for me.
I want to go abroad. I want to stay there. Leave behind the parts of life that I didn't like, my home. And keep the things I did like, my friends...
I'm gonna go whether I feel ready or not. I want to do it. For the first time in my life, I'm sure that I want to do something. I want something major to happen. I want to make it happen.
...
I'm gonna make it.
Yes you can do it!
You are making it already. My son graduated college, moved to England, completed grad school and traveled Europe. Now he is working in a hospital, in a happy relationship and enjoying his best life.
He comes home to visit friends and some traveled to England to visit him.
Blessings and congratulations.
I'm so proud of you.
You and I have very similar goals! I wish the best for us both!! :D
hi! the only thing i can say is do it. i felt the same way a year ago 9the video was right!). I had the choice of staying in one place, doing the safe thing, doing it for my family and friends. But i made the choice to move to Finland for my 10 month internship, and it was the best choice I ever made. The experiences, good bad and ugly, the people I met, the things I saw. I am forever changed, and i wish this experience on everyone. You can do it!
this is my sign to start getting over my social anxiety
how do you plan to do it?
if you get the chance to work for the public eye, do it! I had social anxiety a year ago and working as a waitress helped me so much. If not, try to challenge yourself daily/weekly to talk to ramdom people. At first is the worst, but the second time is easier, the third one a bit more and so on. Hope this helps.

i had a really rough nostalgic night recently and this kind of mindset really helps me snap back to reality. i heard a while ago that you aren't the same person as you were yesterday. the you of today has the choice to be better than the you of yesterday, and the you of tomorrow can be set up for success or failure based on the actions of the you of today.
make a simple goal. set the you of tomorrow up to work towards it. make it easy for your tomorrow self to work towards the goal. look at yourself not as an individual, but as a collective. you are the sum of how each day is spent, so spend each independent day wisely.

I was expecting a plug to sell a book or some shit but this is actually good advice
The best advice I've gotten is simple, but I live by it. "There will be good days, there will be bad days. But you've got to live through all of them. You can't skip the bad ones." Because it's a reminder that a part of life and being human is that there will be all kinds of days but I've gotta keep going through all of them

1% better everyday really puts things in perspective
absolutely it does
this! i never thought about it that way, and its definitely making me think about things differently... time will pass anyway, so why not keep going, 1% at a time?
Over just one year, you would be 365% better than the day you started.
I understand the intent and while working at something will only make you better, you can't measure how much better you are in percentage as opposed to your past self. It feels comically arbitrary when you sit with it.
@@CM0SRS Yea I see where you’re coming from
My moto at start of this year was to try and think only 2 weeks in advance, and if I wanted to do something I had to do it somewhere in next two weeks, or it's never gonna happen.
After a year of this mentality, I started doing martial arts (Muay Thai), changed job, approached many girls, met many new amazing friends, went sailing for first time, went hiking in mountain for first time, started going to dancing classes, and started learning to ski
Not thinking too much in advance, not waiting for things too long, and being very open to random change of plans really made me feel happy again
Thanks for the idea bro. I’ll try to apply the same mentality and I’ll come back to tell you how it went
Great
That sounds like a great idea, I'll try that
Hope you don't mind that I'm absolutely stealing this mentality.
I feel like this depends on what you're planning on doing as there are a good handful of things I did without planning too far ahead into the future, and it ended up being a detriment to me months later lmao
For me, a good what I would say is-
‘Let your curiosity lead you.”
0:07: “your life won't be the same in a year, no matter why”
0:24: “if you go easy and safe, you will stay exactly where you are”
thanks a lot, that was actually pretty clear
“your life won't be the same in a year, no matter what" means that stuff will change. Those people around you will come and go, you might change jobs, school, city, apartment, etc.... it's more about external change, the things that change that we have no control over because they simply happen.
"if you go easy and safe, you will stay exactly where you are” This is about internal change. The things around you will change, but will you change with them? Will you become better? Start new projects or learn new skills? Or will you stay exactly like how you are now because of "comfort"?
I hope this cleared things up!
to the second, i would say: don't go chasing waterfalls. please, stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to. i know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all, but i think you're moving too fast.
your life wont be the same. but where your MIND is will stay exactly as it is. you wont develop as a human being

"There's not a single self improvement book, podcast, or motivational quote that can do the actual work for you"
This line hit hard for some reason
I think that’s because you realize the fact that no matter how much you surround yourself with self improvement content and things, it will always be up to you to do the actual work
maybe because you're spending extra time on a motivational video meant to be short so you can spend the extra time doing something real to motivate yourself instead of spending more time commenting on that motivational video.

Failing is better than not trying , because when you fail you couldn't do it , but when you don't try you didn't do it .
id argue its easy to work on a dream once you actually have a dream, i dont have any dreams, any goals and i dont know how i could change that, im stuck in this phase of not knowing what to do with my life and dont know how to get out of it
But actually, for me, my dream feels too out of reach because I don’t have any power (nor money) to get it. Sometime my dream motivate me to wake up in the morning, but when I’m depressed…that dream makes me want to d1e immediately bcs I know I will be devastated when I can’t reach that…
same here dude , my dream is also something which I can't afford. Hard times
same i’m lost too, I don’t have any dreams either! its a sad confusing feeling
Me too so I decided to just keep working on what I already have just school gym my hobbies and even my personality shit like that...

we'll never be this age again
so for me...I'll count on small improvments trying to get a life yk :))
yeah. i've never had a "what do you wanna be when you grow up." I didn't have an answer to "what are you going to college for" or "what are you gonna do when you're done with college." of course when you tell people you don't know they always say "oh you're young! you have time! you'll figure it out!" well I'm not so young anymore and I still don't know. maybe we'll figure out the answers someday.
Usually don't like motivational videos, but this one is pretty good. No aggressive "you have to do this this and that". Just good advice
starting off the year being motivated. it’s honestly so hard for me to get up and actually start working. i know i’m not the only one. but i’d love to know how many people out there that could relate with me.
This is what i keep saying to myself "the first step is the SECOND hardest in a process, continuing the steps is the hardest in a process"
In 1 year, I'd have graduated from basic training, transferred to a 4 year-college; done with my 2 year community college, moved out to college that is one-hour away, and have gained independence for the first time in my life.
This is great but also scary because i will likely have to do this next year

A student, work part time. I come from a family of workers with no one having academic background.
Please stop trying to be better each day.
Just try to enjoy the process. The moment, when you are learning something new or have to really engage with material, difficulties or anything, but not to be better
To experience, to learn. Not to be better. Just be.
something that should be said, grind culture isn't foolproof, it can't save everyone. just try as much as you can, enjoy life as much as you can and be. just be, as you said.
Thanks bro, stay safe wherever you are
This is like one of the only comments here that makes me feel better
@@someonethereQ yeah there’s so many videos that are basically just try harder and it will save your life and it’s like yeah but have you considered the people that have tried that at some point and it’s not helped
This definitely found me when I needed it most. My past decisions have cost me so much and I'm tired of just laying around. It's about time I stepped up.
All the best in your endeavors guys!
I started therapy this week and getting better feels like a daunting task. This video really did come at just the right time for me. Thank you!
This line of thinking could lead to burnout, or perhaps feeling you're not good enough if you don't reach your daily goals
it's true rest and focusing on self care sometimes is also important and knowing when you need it. I think the mentality conveyed here is more of even doing just the minimum as long as you did anything towards this dream is still progress. I struggle both with workout and art in this sense, I have the expectations of where I want to be and start working towards it, but then the progress made is dissapointing as the goal seems further away. But to show up for it everyday will bring results in the long run, as long as I've drawn for 5 minutes or made a quick sketch on the bus it's still a penny in the jar. The video is about chipping away at the hurdle instead of trying to vault it beause the latter seems impossible and the first one only needs patience and persistence
That’s about how I feel when I find these videos after I’ve tried and it hasn’t done anything for me
@imafish9070 That's how I feel about these videos when they talk like going out to improve and make changes in your life is easy.
I freeze up and have to stop myself from getting sick at even the thought of it, I hate being literally incapable of forcing myself to change even though I know I need to.
Really needed this, I am currently sitting in a car park feeling like a complete outsider... this grounded me. I'm not an outsider, i see myself on the outside. It's very different. Thank you!

this video came to me right before i was diagnosed with MS. i’ve never felt so low. now that i’ve been diagnosed and i seeing it again, im watching it. thank you.
wishing you good health, happiness, fortune, and strength ❤ you got this
@@TangoTangerine12 thank you i wish you the same with all 💕
so glad i'm here before like 7 years until this gets recommended again
I think this video is really true. Saying or thinking of something won’t do the trick, you’ll have to DO it. “A mile long journey starts with one step.”
Found this on January 2nd.
I actually just finished making my goals for the year. I’m 24 out of university and changing my career path, entering college to enter the trades. I’m also working towards being my best self, mainly physically, for myself and for the love of my life. I hope to see you all in a year, 37x better.
Leaving this time capsule here for when this gets suggested to me again in 10 years
This has given me motivation bro. It’s 1am when i’m writing this and i told myself i would fix my sleep schedule. I gave up after 3 days but now i just realised i need discipline to stop doomscrolling and worrying about the future, because certain aspects of the future i can’t control. But i can control when i sleep so why not do that now? Thanks for the video man, really appreciate it :)
Melatonin helps when used sporadically and in small quantities to fix a sleep schedule, I fucked up mine this week so that what I'm doing and it works great, also I know it sucks but avoid screen before bedtime. I take that as an opportunity to read (litt major haha) but you can also journal, doodle, meditate, listen to calm music, or even better white noise (or any "colored" noise that you prefer, I love brown noises)
Also if you can afford the time, exercising helps support a good circadian rhythm as well as eating as specific hours
This video found me at the perfect time. After months of being off track with my learning journey, I accidentally opened UA-cam, and this was the first thing I saw. It reminded me how much can change with consistent effort. Thank you for the inspiration...
The reason people quit is not because they have to do it everyday. That’s the most intuitive part that everyone knows is an obstacle. It’s not seeing immediate results that makes most people quit. Also you don’t just get 30 something percent better. That’s not guaranteed. Skill IS acquired through repetition but in the end, it’s always the pilot, not the plane.
I accidentally clicked on this, but im glad i did. I love these types of videos cause it feels personal, but you know you're not the only one.
Life continues because you continue. It's scary now, but you got this. It will get better.
Today is 06-12-24, I'm leaving here this comment for my future-self, a year later. Hello beautiful, hope you're doing better than ever, you're healthy and happy and finally healed from everything, put past whoever & whatever hurt you, and finally moved on in your life. Had a great year in 2025 full of new experiences & adventures. You worked hard for the things you wanted to achieve, success or failure doesn't matter, but your hard work, patience, and resilience matters a lot. I'm proud of you, that you never gave up and kept working. Everything will work out for sure, only gratitude and hope 🌸. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for this bestest year 2025 🧿💌
"listen to me, David! why won't you listen? why won't you see! You are not afraid of failing; you are afraid of never trying at all!"
"The most important step a man can take. It's not the first one, is it? It's the next one. Always the next step..."

I recently came across this quote: “You only live today once,” and it’s so true-maybe even so obviously true that we often neglect it. Show up every day and see what happens. The time will pass regardless, so why not find out what could happen if you gave it your absolute best every single day, no matter what?
"You cannot fail if you keep trying" is not a good thought. It reinforces resentment of failure, grows paranoia of missteps, increases likelihood of investing in lost causes instead of counting your losses and starting something else when appropriate. What you need is to embrace failure and learn from it.
LOUDER. LOUDEEEERRRR!!!!
Unless failing gets you in trouble and then you’re not allowed to do anything anymore
From a realistic standpoint though, you absolutely can fail no matter how much you try. You can get unlucky, do something that results in permanent consequences, or just be attempting something that literally cannot be done. Luck especially really screws people over
a lot did happen in a year. a lot of bad a lot of good. I got laid off, i had to move, lost part of myself, suffered setbacks and illnesses. But. I got engaged to my best friend, got to eat restaurants i only dreamed off, put all my money into starting a business i've been dreaming of starting, submitted a book and query letter to an editor, started freelancing, got to see friends and family i love. I've started moving towards things i've dreamed of that I never thought possible for me. God has been good to me even through the trials. I pray that 2025 is a year of continued hope and working towards more dreams. Thanks for making this video
i've been trying to live by this mindset, but it's refreshing hearing it from people other than myself. feels like i'm the only one in my family invested in change
I did that, I kept trying to better myself with no path that's clear, no direction, I tolerated a lot of people and a lot of crap in pursuit of a better version of me. Always told my self '' consistency is key '' when I found it difficult I said '' smile on the hardest of days and your mind will think it self happy to get through it '' and when I had setbacks broken bridges to mend I thought " you only fail if you stop trying".
Now, I stopped walking, stopped chasing the better version of myself, I stood for a moment and realised I came from the woods and as I walked I only found myself deeper, and all the trees look the same, all the light is gone. I do not know where I came from, with no care where I'm going. And facing one truth, I need to learn to want life again.
Edit: I hope everyone reading this will have a good day, and better days ahead!
Choosing option 1 sucks, BELIEVE me. Being 100% better tomorrow is impossible, but I know I can continue to be 1% better each day. Maybe 1% is too much, I can still strive for maybe 0.5% better, because thats still an 18% increase in one year.
Becoming a better version of myself is the goal.
I hope this video finds me in a few years so I can see how far I’ve come. I also hope everyone chooses to learn from their old self and become better each day.
Finding this on Jan 5, 2025. I was questioning the goals that I wanted to achieve this year and whether or not I was ready to make these life-changing decisions to help me mentally and physically. I was already doubting myself before even starting, but I really needed the motivation to push me to start on the goals, and I found this video at the perfect time. Thank you for this, I will make sure that 2025 will be the year that I treat myself fairly and do what's best for me to become a happier and better version of myself.
