Usually these videos don’t help me all that much because none of this Information is new to me. But, having just gone through a reeeeaaaaal messy breakup, this is exactly what I needed right now. Keep up the great work!
My teen aged son has become a more improved person on many levels following you on this channel. Well, I thought he was wonderful anyway but you have truly changed the way we see the world. Thank you❤
I'm a horticulturalist that escaped big box retail recently, and started in a job that's helping put more plants into our environment! I have literally no stress, no pressure, it's rewarding work and the people I work with are amazing - funny, smart, passionate, hard-working. I'm at the happiest I've been in my life!
Wonderful to hear. I too loving indigenous restoration work. I am trying to make a future where that is my only job, but for now, Sundays and my free time will do so long. All the best, from the Cape Flats Sand Fynbos region.
I’m starting a horticulture course next year to get out of going in between office work and hospitality and can’t wait to learn more about the environment and be surrounded by like minded people, in a slower paced and more peaceful work environment! Happy to hear you like it so much :) makes me even more excited to start
@@maiaergarac8466 even the horticulture classes are lots of fun! There are a couple of "boring" subjects, but they don't last long, and overall doing the hort certificate was a great experience too - I'm sure you're going to love it! Hopefully you can find your unicorn job soon too :D
@@RaderGHgood on you for getting into the planting restoration in your free time! All the best to you too, from Australia, and I hope you can find/make your perfect job soon!
I grew up lower class and have usually struggled with shit, but this year alone, I became a store manager for the first time, I got married, I'm about to give birth to my first child, and I'm aiming to study what I can while I'm on maternity leave so I can further develop a stronger and higher paying career once I go back to work so I can get a little closer to the life I've always dreamed of having. Already achieved so much this year alone, I know I'll achieve so much more in the years coming. I'm Gen Z - 1997. 26 years old. Once I started thinking more positively like you're saying, my life started ascending. I'm pretty dang happy.
Speaking of people on their phones all the time - I actually feel like Millennials are more glued to their phones than people my age (23) Being born in 2000, I’m in that weird period in between and didn’t have phones and iPads growing up
Hey Jordan, I'm a millennial and a musican but you've reminded me why I started making my music in the first place, I really have to re-evaluate how I make my music so it helps people feel good and get through tough times like a lot of music has done for me. I really hope everyone who watches this video has a changed outlook on life after this. everyone needs to watch it because these are wise words. to anyone reading this. LISTEN. trust me.
I work for the local council as a trainee and work in aged care community support, i go above and beyond expectations almost every day and it feels amazing to contribute to the people in my own community
As a person that stop working to take care of my Father as he has become disabled I would like to thank you for your work in front line aged care community support. With out you and people like you I would be lost. Despite this the My Age Care and most Management in aged care, with the government workers are a bunch of Psychopath. I can vouch of the abuse the deck jockeys can inflect on the aged and there care support workers In Australia. This Psychopath push my father it attempt suicide because of the abuse from the deck jockeys.
Honestly, a year ago I was stuck in the vicious cycle of "Everything sucks and I am never gonna succeed, so why bother?" but I got out of it (with 40k reddit karma 😔) thanks to support from family and admittedly your self help has definitely contributed. I know where I want to go in life and I firmly believe I can succeed if I put my mind to it! (I want to be an Auto mechanic)
Just about to turn 30 and I'm really struggling to find my calling. Not great at anything in particular, and find it extremely hard to commit to any life skill or find a goal to set because of some underlying, time wasting fear of venturing down the wrong path. At least that's part of it. Feel pretty hopeless tbh. Just thought i'd throw that out there for no real reason other than to externalize, as if it's some unique life problem to have and this is an appropriate place to vent lol. Loving these self help videos though man. I'm sure tons of people are finding serious value in them for themselves and those around them. 🤙
I’m 30 and I feel much the same. A video about Absurdism has helped me with this existing thing since watching. Hope this helps. Cheers stranger. This is all so absurd isn’t it? 😜
Hey Jordan, this was a great discussion. For any who are interested, the 'Mission Statement'/'Values' that i have found to be compelling, are as follows: *Be Just. *Be Honest. *Be Disciplined. *Be Resilient. *Be Deliberate (in actions). *Be Purposeful (in life). *Be Humble. *Be Balanced.
A lot of this is what I already do daily to keep oriented, but it is pretty nice to hear it in an Australian accent with a jawline that could stop a truck. Thanks mate
Really useful and positive advice. Currently going through a change at the moment, slowly climbing out of the dark and finding I actually want to start achieving and creating again. Idle hands, man, idle fkn hands...
Thank you I really needed this right now. I’ve been a bit lost/depressed after just finishing my Master of Social Work - something that completely lights me up, excites me, and serves my community - but I’ve been finding it a bit hard to find work. I’ve realized though, in what you’ve just said, that I’ve been far too self centred, and now its time to get back to the reason I studied in the first place, to serve God, my higher purpose, whatever you call it. Im going to stop being so neurotic about it, and know that something will come up, because it’s what my soul is meant to do.
I directly had someone pull me up and told me. "Say 'I' instead of 'you', it's weird how you talk." Couldn't fault him but, he didn't have much scope for the wider world of life.
F*ck yeah! I'm a 70s baby and this resonates with me like nothing I've heard for too long. Do you offer life coaching, Jordan? My soul has felt dead for so long and this video has put a rocket up my proverbial.
Left social media for a year. Dropped in recently to say hi and let everyone know I am in fact alive. Simp farmed. Left without explanation the next day. Its devolved even more, was horrified and became almost immediately depressed
I appreciate your content, Why do you care so much about how we think about ourselves? The issue is political, our agency has been cut by 30 years of neoliberal reform (such as those conducted by your beloved Hawke-Keating government in the 90's who replaced industrial accords with enterprise barganing agreements). So many people in Oz have insecure work and a lack of wage protections. Mental health, not entirely but in the main, is a political issue! We should not aim to merely dig ourselves out of a hole by being employed and exploiting other people but by ending the system of exploitation itself!
I was on the train last month and i overheard 2 girls talking, 1 was talking about how she didnt like her waitressing job and quote "all she wanted was a job that she could look pretty in" , the rest of the conversation was as intelligent as you could imagine...
What’s your point? She finds satisfaction in feeling pretty, there’s an infinite commodity in displaying the various interpretations of pretty. Sounds like a sweet girl working out how to best leverage what’s meaningful to her and valuable to world. While you seem to be defensively judgmental in this situation.
@@NaysayersGonnaNaysay Yes i'm sure you are right that and that she will provide huge value to the world by getting into car sales and using her looks to affect the judgement of other people so she can make more money, rather that she looks no further than skin deep and actually does what makes her happy, my point was that a lot of average people don't delve deeper than that, (which is what Jordan was saying) hence why they can be miserable and hate the world.
@@deathragh1 so you're telling me beauty is not a valuable commodity and anyone who finds purpose and fulfillment within or in the pursuit of the industry are just shallow hateful people? A lot of people don't delve deeper than that because they aren't deeper than that. Sounds like she knows what makes her happy, that is of value. You can easily devalue anyone and any industry, regardless of success levels. My point is, it's kinda fucked to impose your judgement on other people as if there aren't hundreds of elementary school lunch ladies doing exactly what they love to do and feel fulfilled doing. They have zero desire to work in a 5-star restaurant. That's not shallow. But the judgement of it is.
Im gen x. Forgive me but i didnt know wtf you were on about for a while there. Then you admitted your man childish ness and my parent eyes could see you suddenly. Hahahaha you began with an energetic erratic presentation of the current state of the zeeez and rolled swiftly into a lesson on the downward spiral of hedonism, the foundation building required to grow as a productive human, and the rewards awaiting one if they follow your advice and your patreon. You're an example of self help seamlessly merged marketing genius Jordan. Bravo you lunatic. Subbed
AI is absolutely amazing to me, as someone who watched the internet morph into what it is today. I can go on character ai and talk with a fictional character and have a coherent conversation with good memory, that blows my mind. This generation is kind of cool sometimes.
Kinda asked this before but under a different context, in general is it ok to start being ambitious and seeking opportunities etc at around age 21-22? Currently 19 and am going fine but wish to spend a year or two laying low and working on fundamental skills and virtues (physical, attaining skills, productivity, etc etc) before going external and being adventurous
i have a question for anyone who can give me answer. what would be a good course of action if i don’t know what i have to offer the world? i feel like i’m mediocre at a lot of things but don’t really excel in anything specific. how could i figure out what my calling is?
Just start something I'm in my 20's and have changed jobs 4 times in the last year and a half, it wasn't till I started my current job when I felt I was doing well in a roll, always better to try and fail then to do nothing fkr fear of failing
As per the above comment, apply for and work in some different roles/areas/technologies to find one that you don't hate and may like. Once you have found one that you like to stay at, apply your diligence there as it will more than likely beat those nonchalant staff who may have higher intelligence/experience.
As "old" as this will make me sound. Join the military. While serving you serve yourself and the path with reveal itself while you are building your foundation enlisted
I agree with above - just give things a go, even if just to find out what you don't like about different things. You're unlikely to get any answers from treading water. Wishing you all the best ❤
I've been told I'm excellent at graphic design, and I think I'm pretty good at illustration, but I havent done much in the way of serving my community... Adelaide barely has any business for me to find a job, and the one children's book I published sank with the buyout of the publishing company to a foreign shell company. I really liked making an illustrated book with teachable lessons for kids, but that failure put a stain on illustration for me
It's really hard to get up after a big set back and your confidence is shaken. There are a lot of ways to support the community with good design! Maybe some pro bono work for community events or organisations could be a good way to get back in the game without too much pressure :) Wishing you better days ahead 🎨
I worked in disability support for 20 years and it was the most under paid under appreciated bitchiest biggest pack of bullying assholes I’ve ever come across. If you’re doing your job right and advocating for necessary and appropriate funding, your own bloody organisation works against you to make life harder. I ended up quitting so I didn’t jump in front of a truck. I’m now an artist and I couldn’t be happier and I wish I’d made the change years earlier. Sorry Jordies, some social jobs are just on the “society don’t give a shit” list.
Hah yeah. My position didn't pay like shit however, while it was something worth acheiveing for a better world, the reality is that most people don't actually want to fix things. Change is cause for discomfort. In the case of my work, people were way more caught up desiring a subclass of people they can see on the news and feel disgusted over, then outrage, then the final dose of dopamine when they get to see these people destroyed. A class of people it is socially acceptable to feel superior to. A class of people anyone can become part of in one bad incident, but every thinks they can't because they see themselves as, at least, not actively bad people. The worst part? Almost no one doing this is aware of it. You, or someone you know, is, and it is making the world worse. There is no heroic one man army that can change anything either. It requires concerted effort of a very significant portion of the population. I mean, we have seen the biggest gains in progress there in the past 15 years. You know why? Because over a 1/4 of white, middle class to wealthy, people are now being affected it. So NOW it's "oh maybe we shouldn't create a profit incentive to put people into prison and push them into slavery, and worse". Even considering this, there are still an enormous amount of people who will fight any progress because everyone else can get fucked. Just like before, these people too, are largely unaware of they are doing this. Just throwing your well being into a meat grinder. No one who has spent more than 5 years in the system is actually mentally healthy anymore.
Watching the past few videos I keep having the thought "wait a minute, Are you drunk?" ?????????????? Have you been recording these while intoxicated? Are you doing okay Jordan? Did something happen with your girlfriend? Do you even read the comments?
I think its a bit o u. T o f t o u c h to claim its just the phone creating issues for genz. In school, the upper half of genz didn't get a phone until highschool, until around the 2010s when it became more socially acceptable to do so.
The hell happened to you? I used to love your stuff then it stopped showing up in my feed. This is my first time seeing you in what feels like years and you're on some "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" bullshit? "Don't blame the system, don't let the system dictate the rules of your life." That's kind of how societal systems work. This is some, "The Secret" shit.

As my dad said once, "The keys to your life are always in your own hands, both the cages and the doors".
Thanks heaps for the work you do 🎉
one thing I wasn't expecting to hear today - Jordan Shanks saying "I started asking, what does God want me to do"
my brain just flatlined.
He was speaking metaphorically.
Speaking of people on their phones all the time - I actually feel like Millennials are more glued to their phones than people my age (23)

Thats why im a gardener, love making peoples gardens look nice for them and listening to music as i work in nature
This is so true everyone is so focused on getting rich rather than being useful
Being useful doesn’t keep the lights on or afford food, not unless you’re useful to someone paying you
I work for the local council as a trainee and work in aged care community support, i go above and beyond expectations almost every day and it feels amazing to contribute to the people in my own community
Never emotionally invest in your job especially in the community sector

This is good stuff, thanks Jordan!

Great vid Jordie thanks bro
I feel i have so many "commitments" to make goals
👏 👏 👏 well said.
👍 had to throw this in here cause I can’t click the thumbs up twice.
My goal is "How can I save for my retirement while my government does what it can to fuck me out of the pension I've been paying into?"
We won’t even make it that far. They’ll create a new virus and off most of the elderly so they don’t have to pay out.
My fish tank is my tv and dam I do love fishing
Yay
I like how Jordies acknowledges that gen z is 90% of his audience and that we’re goated
Im gen x. Forgive me but i didnt know wtf you were on about for a while there. Then you admitted your man childish ness and my parent eyes could see you suddenly.

You choose what you want to focus on. So maybe focus on something that's going to make you contribute.

Just like before, these people too, are largely unaware of they are doing this.
Just throwing your well being into a meat grinder. No one who has spent more than 5 years in the system is actually mentally healthy anymore.
Millennials watching this just agreeing that gen z is shit
Be stubbornly optimistic ....then everything else is inferior by default 🎉
Cool Thanks! Imma smoke a doobie and meditate on my purpose.
I didn't know Jordan was from Tasmania 😂
I didn't know he was 34 til I looked it up just before I watched this video 😂
Watching the past few videos I keep having the thought "wait a minute, Are you drunk?" ?????????????? Have you been recording these while intoxicated? Are you doing okay Jordan? Did something happen with your girlfriend? Do you even read the comments?
If you were in 1996 what gen are you?
You would be a late Millennial

I think its a bit o u. T o f t o u c h to claim its just the phone creating issues for genz. In school, the upper half of genz didn't get a phone until highschool, until around the 2010s when it became more socially acceptable to do so.

The hell happened to you? I used to love your stuff then it stopped showing up in my feed. This is my first time seeing you in what feels like years and you're on some "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" bullshit? "Don't blame the system, don't let the system dictate the rules of your life." That's kind of how societal systems work. This is some, "The Secret" shit.
