8 Things I Learnt At The Age Of 25
💟💟
Hi
Love it
Alfie Deyes heyyyy
Hey alfie please heart this and reply to me x
I really respect your attitude towards life, I know this is kinda random but your just such a genuine, kind and caring guy, which is rare !! keep being your amazing self and don't let the opinions of small minded people affect what you do with your life x
Random 2001 yes totally agree I feel that so many people live there lives following the opinions of others and don’t live the life they want to to, I also feel mental health plays a huge part in this :)
Random 2001 love this!!
agreed
Agreed X
I have one, you can't think your way out of depression, you have to act your way out of it. People often wait to feel good or motivated before doing the things they use to enjoy, the motivation rarely comes through. Therefore we have to do those things with the goal being to get the motivation.
This spoke to my heart...thanks!! ❤
jw71291 wise words👍
i learnt that sometimes letting go friendships is a really good thing. it is hard and sad, but some friendships run its course and it doesn‘t have to be someone‘s fault or because of a single event or a situation. people change, relationships change and people develop and go in different directions in life, especially in their twenties. it is often called 'losing' a friend. however, you had a great time together, made great memories and gained a lot of experience, there is nothing lost. it is difficult to wrap your head around because that person may not be in your life anymore, but they will always have been a part of your life and you as a person and that‘s something to be grateful for.
Can you talk about going going after your dreams and ambitions at an early age? I'm almost 18 and all of my friends get up late, go out late and I'm trying my best to be the best version of myself but I think this would be an interesting topic
Belma Ramić I’m in the same boat, I find it really hard to find like minded people my age. I feel like I have a very old soul and my personality is very advanced for my age. :)
Speak on it brother... nothing is cooler than growing old. Being young is wasted on the youth, 30 is your prime. I survived cancer twice and lost half my face to amputation.. a tumor destroyed my jaw and changed everything.. I was labeled a freak. I decided to start over, travel South America and start a youtube channel to inspire others who feel ugly and not good enough for this world.. it's all about energy and mindset.. my scars will not define me. with optimism and positive projection you can overcome any mental or physical hurdle. self love from within overpowers any physical shell! go check me out and subscribe if you want to help me grow. i want to give people a spark of change and join me on my journey!
You are what makes the world so great - thank you!
Much respect! 💕

@@Dori435 thanks bro
This has made me feel so motivated to get things done this year !!
Smash this year Alex!
You can't be everyone's cup of tea. Otherwise you'll be a mug. My fave quote 😉😆🙂
I’m really glad that you posted this video. I’ve been watching your videos for the last 4-5 years and this came right when I needed it. I was an English teacher in China for a year and then decided that I didn’t want to spend my life being an English teacher. But with this I really discovered that I love living overseas and meeting new people and learning about their cultures. I’ve taken the last 7 months or so off to reevaluate and figure out exactly what I want out of life. I’ve always felt passionate about helping people who are less privileged than me as a white American, so I’ve decided to get into helping refugees. And I’ve since then learned that I need to continue on with my education and get a masters degree. School in America is really expensive, so I know that I want to go somewhere else to get my degree. I’ve been watching your videos and a lot of the other creators from the UK and because of that, I realized I want to go to the UK for school. And since you always are talking about Brighton, I decided to look into programs that are based from there. I discovered that the university of Sussex has like 4 different programs that I’m super interested in and am hoping I get accepted into the program to get that education I need to help people in a meaningful way. I’m really thankful for the unintentional influence you have had in my life because without your videos I wouldn’t even be aware of this potential future path for my life! Keep it up!
I missed that kind of video, so glad you did it 💜
Good video Alfie, a lot of the things you said were things I've come to accept in the last couple years as well as I approach my late twenties. One of the most important things I've learned is the power of positive thinking. It's very easy to be cynical about everything, but I realised that this wasn't really doing anything for me other than make me a more negative person. Now I try to flip that on its head every time I'm presented with something, and I feel a lot better as a result, it's so much nicer when you can enjoy things for what they are and not twist it into why it's not good enough.
Alfie - “some people speak to themselves I don’t “
Me - “I do”
I dint mean to say it out loud 😂
Your videos have gotten so much better, it's wonderful to see that progress
This is why I’m subscribed to Alfie, he’s so positive and inspiring that every time I finish watching his video I feel like I can do anything in the world 🌎 thanks Alf
I am looking forward to watching this video! Didn’t know this was coming X
Hope you enjoy it
This made me very happy as it came up in my notifications😃
Love this Alfie! The "can't be good at everything" hit me hard, but I needed to hear it. I spend so long trying to be the "jack of all trades" and just end up being very average at everything. Need to pick something and stick to it!
New channel name??? Love the secrets out please make new ones!! Please reply to me and heart !❤️
Great video alf! One thing ive learnt over the years is to not let people stop you from doing what you love. If they are judging you for something they don't like let them because your unique and they just hate because they have problems in their own life and they want to take it out on someone else.
I love this! Its really motivational and its made me think differently about my life.
You are my absolute favourite for advice, I really feel like you connect with your audience and understand us completely - you're so real and I really appreciate that! These were really, really helpful and a lot of them will stay with me as I keep on reminding myself to just go and get it. One more piece of advice (or more a phrase that she said) that stuck with me a lot from Ebony Day's "things I've learnt at 25" is "stop getting in your own head, lighten up a little bit and go and have a nice time. Go on." - I absolutely LOVED that! Great video Alfie, really loving your change in content lately :) x
One of my favorite quote to live by is "You can't control the wind but you can adjust your sails.". It really resonates with me. Sometimes life throws things at you and you have to adapt to them the best way possible. It's not always easy but it's always better to try :)
Things I've learnt :
Empathy - I always try to look at things from someone else's perspective and it's helped me learn a lot about myself and others and socialisation in general.
Always take time for yourself - sometimes I burn the candle at both ends and I have to remind myself I'm only human and need time to reflect and recharge.
Know when to take time away from social media - comparison is the thief of joy and when I'm feeling down I think social media is a massive triggger and doesn't help at all
Mental health is just as important as physical health and they should go hand in hand!
Yay, a new video! Like the life advice and secrets out videos!
I love this! So refreshing. I love the last one. I'm literally at that stage in life now, doing a lot of different jobs and loving it!
I love the positivity towards life you have! Defo an inspiring video, I want to do the best I can do this year 💞 thank you soo much for you videos 😊
thank you for making this video alfie. i love hearing about the lessons you have learned throughout your life and i hope i am able to apply these to mine. please continue to make videos because they truly do benefit everyone
Love this new direction in your content Alfie, very mature, insightful and informative, well done x
Wait pointlessblog is officially gone? Kinda sad but also ready for this next chapter! Looking forward to all the new content🙃
This video is so great! This reminds me of old school PointlessBlog. I started watching you in 2012, when I was 16 years old. I'm now 23. Thats crazy. You have grown so much as a person, yet you are still the down to earth guy I remember watching years ago. Also, I love the name change!
i loved this video. thank you for being such a positive influence on the lives of many many people, alfie.
i've been going through a rough time recently, but i think the more i watch this, the more i'm going to realize that opinions of others really don't matter and that i can and should be proud of myself anyways, no matter how bad of a job i might have done in the eyes of someone else.
the lesson that i've learnt is:
never strive for perfection. it really can ruin you and the most scary thing is, i never really realized that i had the mindset of a perfectionist, that i became one.
and you know, as you said, i could sit around and cry about how unfair this is. but instead i should just accept it and try to manage this the best way possible.
which is tackling that mindset and turning it into a loving and healthy one.
thank you!
I really liked that video, Alfie. It was so inspirational and just what I needed. One thing I've learned is something my dad told me in 3rd grade "Winners don't do different things, they do things differently." I hope this helps you and anyone else reading this. This is kind of random, but I was rewatching your Sims 4 series with Zoe and I think it would be cool if you could go back and continue it. Thanks! xoxo
I really loved watching this. Been going through a hard time, or so I thought it was, but this really was an eye-opener. Very inspiring, such positive vibes, thank you Alfie. I think your phrase “you’re in control of your own happiness” is one of those sentences that are “easy to say, hard to actually do/apply in real life”. But the truth is, that’s how we always thought of this sentence. That’s how we always perceived it. In reality, it really is not that hard once you think of it. One must realize that THEY are in control of THEIR own lives. They are the ones who can in a matter of seconds make a life changing decision.
I really enjoyed this video, Alfie. Well done and well said. As a 31 year old, I can safely say that the older we get, the more complacent we become. These are all great reminders that I'll take on board. Thank you. Big cheers from Melbourne. Keep up the good work.
Honestly, I am so happy that this type of videos is back. I have missed this type of videos. This is so my style of videos and what interest me
I'm really enjoying your recent content Alfie! I started watching your videos when you just started and i'm 21 years old now, I feel like I've grown up a lot and clearly you have too - your content has become great!
I started to write a book about a year ago now and loved the idea and how far I had come but at one point I just locked up and just stopped writing for a while. Well... The a while is now, as I said, a year.
You talking about having a goal motivated me sooo much because I really really want to finish my book because I still think that it is a good idea and I love my characters.
So thank you Alfie for those motivating words that will hopefully help me get back on track and not wonder around like a lost chicken. Loved the video so much and love everything you do
This video is about to be my new favourite thing
“Treat yourself like someone you loved.” I love this quote and I’m defiantly learning to speak kinder to myself since I struggle with anxiety.
Hi Alfie, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this video, being an older viewer who always greatly enjoys your videos this one really made me smile because all of the points you mentioned are the exact things I tell my 15 year old daughter. Always stay true to who you are 😊
So inspiring, thank you! I think it is very important to not compare yourself with others too much. Do the things you love at your own speed and do not let someone else’s progress make you think less about your own. Use it as a motivation😌
The amount of things I've learned from you in the past few years is incredible. I love how you always try to share new helpful and wise things you learn in your video's. I truly want to thank you for being such a positive influence on me and on so many other people.
I am 61 and following you.. I follow you because you are so open to things and are free of judgement.. it’s like your an old soul in a young body.. keep up the good enlightening work of Alfie being Alfie 👍👏👏👏
Easily my favorite video you’ve ever created. So thankful for you and how much time you put into impacting the lives around you.
This is a great video. The things you are talking about are so so true and so damn important! It’s so easy to wander through life just “getting by” and never feeling content, hoping one day ‘it’ will fall into your lap. The only way you can get what you desire is by putting the consistent effort and the determination in! Set a goal, break down the steps from where you are now to where you want to be, and take it day by day. Life is so short every moment counts! We got this! 🤟
Alfie, I really needed to hear this. I genuinely feel like this video is everything I have been trying to accomplish in my own personal life and relate to everything you have talked about. I will try to rewatch this video whenever I need to remind myself of these things. I struggle with constant anxiety with friends, relationships, dental school, life, everything. This is so important to understand. THANK YOU. I am going to try to implement this in my life as much as possible.
One thing my dad has taught me is to take life "day by day". its very simple and obvious as well, but sometimes I think we forget when we get wrapped up in future notions and get anxious or think too heavy on what will happen? what could happen? what if''s? but if you remember to just live in the present moment and do exactly what you need to TODAY, everything will work out. My dad has also said there is always another day, always another sun coming up after a dark night. so even if you all have had a horrible day, don't stress, because you have the capacity and ability to make tomorrow AMAZING. Hope this helped some of you!
Absolutely
my internship is starting tomorrow and I was not looking forward to it. Listening to you is really inspiring and really made me feel like I shouldn't see my internship as something negative that I have to do for uni but as a new experience and an opportunity to learn new things! Thank you for being your amazing inspiring self and for inspiring me :) x (greetings from Amsterdam by the wayyyy)
Loved this video!! Such a good start to my day, just woke up having my breakfast and listened to this at the same time and now I feel so inspired for my day/ year ahead... So thank you!
Hey Alfie, I appreciate what you had to say in this video. As that I have Generalized Anxiety, I struggle with many different situations I find a lot of your content very inspiring just to be more of a getter and a go-er. Thank you! X
RIGHT GONNA PUT THIS OUT THERE IN CAPS.. ALFIE YOUR CORRECT LISTEN YOU NEVER STOP LEARNING.. IVE JUST TURNED 51 ....YES 51 AND I WATCH YOUR CHANNEL. BECAUSE YOU CAN LEARN KNOWLEDGE FROM ALL AGES AT ANY AGE !!! AND YOU YOUNG MAN HAVE THE INSPIRATION GOING ON. WHAT THEY CALL AN OLD SOLE . ..THANKS X
This video was exactly what I needed to hear at the moment. Can 100% tell that this is going to be something that I always come back to when I’m having a bit of a low day. Thank you so much x
Absolutely love sit down videos, been watching for so long. Love the development of your channel. Lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
WOW I MISSED YOUR VIDEOS
Can completely relate! Great video 🙌🏼
Really like the new path your channel is taking. I'll turn 25 this year as well and so far I've learnt a lot mostly do not worry about what other people think of you. YET I still have to learn how to say no to people and not try to please everyone. Still a lot ahead :))
Hey, thanks for being so kind to me when I drunkenly approached you this past Friday. I was a mess and you were a gem, so thanks :)
This video took me back to the main reason why I started watching your videos .xx love you Alfie ❤
One of my favourite quotes ever is "Be who you are, not who the world wants you to be". This is such an important thing! I'm glad you see this in a similar way
Thank you so much for this video Alf! It was really eye opening ❤️
This reminds me so much of your older videos that I loved! But the content feels so much more... mature I guess? Just more congruent with the person you are now. An awesome mix of old and new!
This is the quality content Ive subscribed for. My favorite video of your maybe in years! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for telling us about it. It literally helps a lot in this period of my life. i've been anxious for like 4 or 5 weeks, but after watching this i feel so peaceful and motivated. definitely give a thumb up to this video!
This is a really nice exercise to do every year. Thanks for sharing, Alfie! And audio was fine. 😁
Love this video Alfie! I have ALWAYS loved your advice/life lessons. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Bye 'pointlessblog' it was great while it lasted :)
I absolutely love videos like this. I’ve watched you since the beginning and you have come such a long way, just with the content of your videos, the story that you tell, how you are always encouraging and spreading positivity through your videos one way or another. Needless to say it means so much from someone struggling and battling with anxiety. So thank you for doing what you do and simply just being your true self. Keep being you. Much love from America. ❤️
Alfie ! This is the type of content I have signed up for 😍 we need more videos like this!!!
I love this type of video Alfie! It’s so fresh and helpful. Love the honesty and really appreciate all the helpful tips. I’ve been having a pretty tough week and this really helps.
Wow Alfie, this is such an amazing video. I really needed to hear this, thanks
I really needed this video ! Love this kind of content :)
Definitely my favorite kind of videos from you. i’ve missed those. ☺️❤️ just turned 26 and those 8 points are so real 👏🏼 keep up the great content, been a fan for years.
I really enjoy your sit down chats. I think you are an inspiration and have so much knowledge to share. I think you do a great job of using your platform in a positive way. I know personally I finished watching this video and felt encouraged and uplifted. ❤️
loved this video! would really love some content like this but in a podcast form! Much love Alfie, love seeing you do things that inspire you and make you different.
I hope the young people especially are listening and understanding what you are saying, it's wonderful Alfie plus I've really enjoyed your podcasts from a young 41 year old ! Keep up the fantastic work X
Loved this video Alfie ❤️ your positive words always inspire me and Zoe's too!
This video really makes me think about what I want in life and inspires me so much. A thing that’s usefull and helped me is writing down thoughts, because when I read them back I’m able to see how much I’ve grown and changed in a good way. Loved this video, thanks Alfie
I love your new videos please do more new formats like this and interviews
And have you got any new projects coming up x😄
Alfie, thank you so much for this video. This is just the boost I needed for this year. Definitely going to take these on board. Again Thank you. X
I'm really proud of you. I've been watching your vlogs and videos for like 6 years now.
Be you!Ignore negative /Toxic people.People with Anxiety or phobias try relaxation teqniqs such as yoga ;meditation and relaxation(breathing tecniqs help in the heat of the moment).😊Mucho love K
I really appreciate this video. Im going through a lot of changes in my life right now and am feeling a bit lost and this video has given me a bit of direction. These are all lessons I've been telling myself i need to learn and focus on and the fact that you voiced them and made a video about it is exactly what i needed to hear. Thank you, i love these self-reflective advice type videos, id love to hear more advice from you on different topics.
something i've learnt is that you can do anything you set your mind to. believe in yourself and work hard towards the things that make you happy :)
also know that you are beautiful as you are and it is important to be yourself!! x
you are strong even when you don't necessarily feel like you are 🌸
Thank you for sharing these 8 things with us. You are a huge inspiration for me, because you are so caring, open, honest and true to yourself! Whenever you talk about things that are important to you it seems to me that you genuinely have thought about them. I feel like you don't say things just because you think you should. Sometimes I think this had become rare on social media, so I admire you for that.
As you asked us in the end of the video, I want to share something I realized over the past year. Life is like a roller-coaster. There are moments where you feel like everything is getting better and better. Life is going upwards and you can't imagine that it could get worse at some point. Unfortunately it will. Now I experienced it over the last year. There was a time where I felt like everything was perfect and even getting better. At some point I reached the peak and it went down, like a roller-coaster. My life got stressfull and I was just tired and stuff. Then I started thinking of the time before that. That was when I realized that the analogy of the roller-coaster is true. You go up and up and then there is the peak. Now you start going down, but it is okay. Because you know that can't go down forever. There will be a moment where it changes again. You also learn to embrace the good times more. The bad times help you do that.
So yeah, I hope this makes sense. English is not my mother tongue, so I find it hard to explain stuff like this in English.
To anyone having a bad time: I know that it is bad and it sucks. But believe me, it will get better. I promise you, after rain there will be sunshine. You will find your sunshine.
ITS SO IRONIC that his mic dies just after he says about ‘not seeing everything as fair when things go wrong’ I love that 🙈❤️ such a coincidence!
I think you talk a lot of sense. I was diagnosed in 2016 with Fibromyalgia and M.E. Our lives completely changed. We needed councelling, but now I look at the world with my eyes wide open appreciating the small things i was blind to. I started a you tube channel to help others in a similar position to me and it gave me a purpose again. Positivity all the way! 😉
So glad you’re posting on here again!
Ayyyy inspirational Alfie is back💘💘💘x
I love when youtubers are real with their audience and give legit advice 👏🏻🙌🏻
This is very motivational, Alfie! Loved it. Thank you 😊 love from Spain!
This is why i love watching you and Zoe because you are both down to earth. Nowadays youtubers might just make trendy videos to make money to just buy a car or clothing or whatever.. but you and Zoe you work in your own office you do a lot of things behind the camera .. and also you both do some chatty videos where we all learn new things .. i mena you dont do just trendy videos and the money you make from it you give it to charity or some other stuff! It is so motivating! And also cant wait when you two get married and have kids 😊❤ love you both have a nice day!
Great Video!
I am currently very interested in personality development so this video came to the right time.
I would love to see more content like that on your channel in the future
I LOVE this new kind of videos, love your work. ♥️
Really appreciated this post! Had a really crappy weekend and this will jumpstart me for the rest of the week/ month. Thanks Alfie! Hope you have a great week (:
Very inspiring and motivating! Love your vlogs too!!!
I clicked on the "swipe up" in your insta story. Gotta get my Alfie fill haha! Aye! Love your outlook on life Alf. Big love from Canada!
Loved this video Alfie! So inspiring
