For sure you will succeed ! The advantage that you have is you are a good communicator- you are able to articulate your journey in a clear structured way that you don’t see many in the UA-cam world, except one other influencer Neelam Oujah, who found her calling in the luxury world in her 50’s. I’m in my 40s - trust me it will get bette but the uncertainty continues as long as you stay true to yourself !

I think I've been going through a midlife crisis the past few years. Not the fun kind, never got myself a sports car or a 30-year-old girlfriend, the dark and morbid kind (not in the teenage emo or goth sense of morbid, either). I've been spending lots of time reading stuff on accepting my own mortality and trying to be okay with the fact that I'm going to die, I even bought myself my own cemetery plot and a gravestone that has everything but the final year. I also developed a habit of talking about myself in the past-tense like "I wish I could have gotten to do that". Someone once said that I was scaring them with how much I'm treating my midlife crisis like an end-of-life crisis, that I talk like I've only got six months to live or something. Have you ever heard of the morbid midlife crisis? I know it has to be more common than you see in media, because something about fear of aging would naturally carry a focus on mortality. Losing my mom three years ago and my sister last year (as well as a few relatives this year) sure didn't help.
