there's this Australian man rambling on about the human condition in the ad that plays over this video. gives off bob Procter-but younger vibes. any idea what that's about?
last time i felt success: 3 years ago when i finished my bakers apprenticeship. what happened: got a job earning just over half average australian wage working 50 hours a week was it good: of course for a 22 year old that has nothing else going for them Convinced myself i can afford things like smoking and drinking every day. By still living off of the success i felt three years ago i still smoke and drink everyday living pay cycle to cycle. Time to start setting the bar higher, Step 1; cutting out money wasters and start building an emergency fund. Step 2; start learning how to invest. Thanks Jordan.
Tomorrow will mark one year since I’ve had a drink. What you said about that never ending loop of alcoholism really hit home. I just started to notice how poorly it affected my communicational skills and how I didn’t really drink because I enjoyed it, I was just numbing myself to a mundane existence. Get up, go to work, don’t ask questions. You’re paid for your hours, not for your opinions or ideas. But I would tell myself I was drinking because it was so awesome. Now people ask me if I don’t miss a cold beer after a hard at work. Like yeah, but then I had a whole lot of beers that I didn’t earn and I don’t really want to do that anymore. The other part that really resonated was the cycle of celebration. I used to find that I was rewarding mediocrity all the time. I did three days straight at the gym this week, might have a huge bowl of ice cream. Filled out my journal four days in a row before work this week, might treat myself to a sleep in. There’s this part in the Bhagavad Gita that talks about how you have no rights to the fruits of you labour, but the work itself belongs to you. As soon as you realise that, your life will get much better. Don’t give yourself options. Get up, do what is important to you and do it well, go to bed early. It’s hard to explain the bliss that comes with a spartan lifestyle, but it’s absolutely worth it.
for me anyways, the last time I felt success was the other day when I did all the good habits I want to instill like reading, working out, doing certain jobs etc. felt good, and it motivated me to continue it on the next day
I’ve failed Uni degree after Uni degree and an apprenticeship. I have managed to marry a lovely person, brought a house, travelled and I have a job I don’t hate. I reckon I’m doing pretty good.
Last time I felt success was when I won best craftsmanship cosplay award at comic con. Now that I look back at it in the grand scheme of things it's not that big of a deal, but it has me working on other future projects but nothing to warrent a house partyor pub crawl to celebrate and fall down the rabbit hole of bad choices that always follows
Everyone has their own definition of success. Last year I finished my trade and earned an exceptional amount of money for a 24 year old (110k) whilst working about 2/3 of the year. Success for me was earning enough money to get by and buy the toys I want (new motorbike and a rifle) whilst working the least I could. I’ve gotten to the point where I was comfortable being a NEET because when I have to I can earn good money. While it’s important to enjoy your 20s it’s more important to use them to succeed. I like to have a goal for every year last year was to get those toys and work as little. I intend on moving to the US for at least a year so I can meet my family for the first time as an adult (most haven’t seen me since I was 2). Success for me this year will be grinding away for money. While my goals are good I feel like I’ve got a problem where success=money and we all know that’s not true or healthy.
All through high school I was looking for that feeling of success. Made me extremely depressed at times that I just wasn’t getting that feeling everyone else worked so hard for, now I’m 18, work 50 hours a week in horticulture; something I absolutely love. I get my feeling of success when I can transfer $2k every couple of weeks into my savings, saving up for my dream jdm car, although I already brought my own car at 17, I’ve already saved $20k since. It’s so easy to have this working mindset when doing something I love, f*ck school.
The last time I felt success was the time after I had just finished my Thesis for University. I wrote on a really niche topic of law that wasn't even really being covered by academic journals at the time. It felt great to collate my thoughts and ideas into a few central arguments.
its really cool to hear you saying this coz i have been wondering about whether the whole idea of 'rewards' is really the right head space. im trying to enjoy the process of slowly achieveing things and not be waiting for some reward once i have succeeded .
Last time i felt sucess was when i got a diploma of business, which got me into university, now its my second year at Uni and im doing really well despite a sudden debilitating illness thats been torturing me for a year. The next time I will feel sucsess is when i feel normal / healthy again :)
As a recovering heroin addict. Clean for 5 years btw. This struggle is all too real. I used to have a great week and things finally start looking up then I would say to myself "I've been done so well, I deserve a reward" Then I would take 4 zannys and shoot up half a gram of smack and get back on the roller coaster. I think you can aim high but life needs balance. Become self aware of your feelings and suffering then think on it. Do the same with winning or success. Learn to mediate and get off the piss.
The last time I felt success: When I moved into my own place Was it good: maybe not financially but I feel like it was an outward reflection of my independence and supporting myself with my own work
I loved riding horses , gardening, organically, cooking, taking care of children OK 👍 but someone thought they would mess with my life Friend lies ....K ? Now , it hurts to much so I have to sit and listen mate....
Oi jordies have you read "Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television"? It's half self-help(ish), half deconstructing propaganda; a little dated (1978) but still seems right up your alley. Best reason to read it is that the guy who wrote it is called Jerry Mander, which is an hilarious name.
Ahh, but coming from a Kiwi durrylord who understands Straya all too well, smashing a half pack of Winnie Blues over a conversation about Byzantium is a different compulsion to buying even a thirty gram of White Ox and bleakly marching through that pouch of carcinogenic hell whilst murmuring about a shit league team
@@harryc5595 "Ah, but coming from a cigarette connoisseur of the New Zealand variety who understands Australian culture all too well, smoking half a pack of Winfield Blue cigarettes over a conversation about the city of Constantinople and updates to Bitcoin's system is a different type of urge.

Great work mate! Keep it going! Love your work
@@kieranluke2295 hey thanks man. I appreciate the encouragement.

I haven't felt success for more than a few years, I feel like I really need to change my job, get into gym, and work on my personal projects.
I always find it really funny when Jordan mentions the gym because I'm always working out when I listen to these
@@ImogenBunting shhh, I don't wanna confess in front of the teacher
Just set your threshold of success as owning a house in Sydney.
I’ve failed Uni degree after Uni degree and an apprenticeship. I have managed to marry a lovely person, brought a house, travelled and I have a job I don’t hate. I reckon I’m doing pretty good.
There is definitely beauty in the failure and pondering in where you went wrong which will ultimately bring you to the success!

If i have enough cones and beers to last a full night, I am a success. I have been a success everyday for the past 16 years.
You help me so much Jordan thank you very much.

Celebrate when you're dead, when you've inherited eternal life
You've inherited eternal life already. You are everything.
@@athereal3418 well sure to be exact we already have access to an inheritance if our parents give it to us while we are still alive
No mercy for unsuccessful stooges...
