Why you can't find your purpose
#SelfImprovement #Purpose #Procrastination
I identified my best days always have 3 things. 1. a meaningful conversation with someone in my inner circle 2. create something I find beautiful 3. learn something I didn't know before.
Wow, that second one hit hard. Saw a lady smell a flower that was on the table in a restaurant we were at and it blew my mind. To stop and smell the flower while I didn’t even notice them on the tables. Has been over a month and I still think about it
that does sound like a perfect day 💯
Sounds like a great day to have. I found that for me it's 1. progress in the gym, 2. learning something new 3. progress in business & 4. getting sunshine, drinking 1 gal of water, eating good food.
@@Onedejenny thanks for sharing! good job on the gym piece. I haven't prioritized that yet.
@@AetherXIV it’s been the best change I’ve made. Impacted everything else I do positively.
One of the biggest frustrations in life is when you know all of this, and have thought through it dozens of times, in depth, over years, but still fail to consistently act. Always trying to break through those barriers.
I feel you, I'm in the same boat. I think i'm just now starting to understand how important it is to be aware of what distracts you from your purpose, and not let those thins get to you, no matter what.
Its because its apart of the programming/indoctrination. There's a ton of stuff to be said about this... but lets just try to make it very simple instead of 70,000 words long. We all know or understand trauma right? And the way trauma works? That is sort of the same way people's actions/behaviors work, because of all the beliefs that have been programmed into their minds. 0 - 13 are the most important years of every human beings life. Read the book "What Happened to You" by Dr Bruce Perry & Oprah Winfrey to understand, human beings subconscious minds controls at least 90% but realistically 95% of their actions. In reality, all of the programming to either cripple/silence or stuff away the spiritual side of people is done early on in life, and then as they age more & more distractions, dopamine, more of the false realities to engage in is thrown at them to spend their lifes in hedonism.
Why? Because, truly free human beings are dangerous. It was the easiest way... for the people with the most power to handle having a mass abundance of humans living in one civilization, we have 100s of millions of people living in the most developed prosperous nations, and endless in less developed countries suffer so they can benefit since their must be some order & balance in the universe. Balance is everything, the secret to everything, the reason for everything, the explanation for everything. Light cannot exist without darkness. Mindless pleasure without mindless suffering.
There's a lot more to be said... there are many more reasons why they want to keep people unfree, weak, closed minded, weak willed... some of the reasons are for purely capitalistic, materialistic surface world agendas and others are just out of human emotions such as fear (of people taking control/power or too many people not wanting to live to be slaves for the people at the top of the hierarchy and finding their own meaning in life) & greed.
Yes.
I am not sure what it is, but there is something that puts an end to that cycle. One day you just commit. You do something small that leads to the next step and so on. Soon enough, you are doing it for a year already. Something you failed to keep up with for a few days in the past, you are now doing every single day for a fucking year. Find your chains so you can set yourself free by removing them. People pleasing and doom scrolling were some of my chains for example.
@@spinnerboyz I totally hear you. I started meticulously tracking everything with a big habit tracker on my wall, X-ing out each activity daily, and setting daily minimums.
Worked great for about a year, then I kinda hit a funk and lost it. Still trying to get back on track.
I’m an African girl. Finding your Chanel has been a blessing to me because you articulate some of the thoughts I’ve had in my mind. Goes to show how similar we all really are. Love your content, you are Awesome! Thanks for sharing
I'm from Kenya. Great to see I'm not here alone.
@@kimaniian433 omg! Im also in kenya! But i was born in the US 😅, my mom is kenyan.
Hakuna matata
Just right formula! And yup, all the same, just somehow we don't think that. Strange.
I’m not a color or from anywhere…does that help?
Seriously I know I have said this before but as a 21-year-old who spent years in hospitals and now almost 4 years of recovery I wasn't to thank you, Dan. Watching your videos gives me so much perspective and fuel to get myself going legitimately independent. I'd love to find a time to communicate with you.
I’ve also always loved creating videos initially for Instagram. I hope you see this comment.
@@holdenludwig_ I would recommend joining his Modern Mastery community. You get to chat with Dan and other cool people there. I'm a member and it's been a great experience
I wrote down lots of quotes but the biggest takeaway for me is that people will default to what others are doing around them for the simple reason that they don't know what else is possible. To break free from this, you need to come up with (or be shown) an alternative way of life which is more in line with your own personal aspirations and values.
If you're in this comment section, chances are you don't need help with that part. The next step is to systematize and set process goals for how you will realize that unique vision for your future.
Great video Dan, thanks for the perspective.
I can’t escape modern enslavement. As Siddharth Kara points out, Congolese Slavery that is perhaps the worst in human history is the basis of our electronic devices.
How's the chocolate rain now?
Why does this feel like a plug for Kara's new book?
Dang, the people you find in the comment section are wild!
you okay over there?
Theyres apps for that
There is so much we need to let go of. So much that takes away from our natural way of being. Our kids grow up barely knowing us parents. We all need to stop denying what our hearts tell us. Let's change society. Let's gather together and bring down the spoiled rotten so-called leaders! Hegelian Dialectic is the spell put on us.
I have been binge-watching alot of your videos, and they have been so helpful in clarifying the things I should be doing in my business, on top of all the other philosophical gems you mention. I am so grateful that I have found this channel.
Dan, I just finished watching and I have to say…
You have a wonderful mind and soul ❤
My favorite part was every minute of it. Wow. Thank you for bringing such amazing value to the world.
As I said, I have been marinating for too long. I know what I want, I know how to do it, but I’ve been so conflicted with myself and I really couldn’t figure out why and it’s absolutely a lack of clarity. Thank you!
27:35 Really stood out to me because I love learning and watching educational content but I have such a disconnect when it comes to action. I haven't really been able to figure out why, but hearing this part about how focusing on the outcome (gaining the 50 followers a day) can cause mental chaos, hit close to home.
This new perspective of seeing the daily win as "Did I put out the content and do the "boring fundamentals" "?
is amazing because it removes the friction of the parts you cannot control(getting the likes, shares, followers, replies, etc.)
Loved the video Dan, can't wait to see more!
Taking one step in front of the other is so powerful and yet simple. It’s crazy how often we forget it
A mild form of madness. Read it. Plot covers this.
"If it isn't conducive to achieving your purpose, then it isn't important." Made a note of that straight away. Captures so succinctly what I need to focus on, and it is something I will keep repeating to myself and coming back to when I start to drift away from my purpose. Brilliant video, thank you.
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."
~William Hutchison Murray
Thank you for this, this confirmed that my absolute number 1 goal, or the north star in my life right now, is to become financially independent. I've been following this path already for years, and I've gotten a bit tired of it lately as it takes such a long time to get there, but I really wanna escape my corporate career desperately. I think I've become dedicated to financial independence with an almost religious ambition, comparable to the dedication it takes to become a monk or a nun. The price for this is to let other areas and aspects of life fall short (fun, enjoyment, relationships). But I just wanna escape this bloody rat race so desperately after more than 20 years running in it high speed.
What's the labour? I mean, what work will allow you to achieve the financial independence?
Because you have failed to realise the fundamental flaw in your plan for financial independence. There will never be enough money. You will merely keep getting more and more financial burdens that need maintaining, thus illustrating the old adage 'The things you own end up owning you'. As you make more money, so your standards will rise in accordance.it will never end. You could probably give everything up and live in a tent and have more than enough but you won't. Same as billionaires. How much do you need? You couldn't spend that wealth in ten lifetimes. But yet they keep going. This isn't a criticism, just an observation. If that is your goal, you will always just be on that never ending treadmill.
@@acechadwick No, I'm really not this naive. I've been living as a minimalist for years, I never buy "stuff". I need 2000 USD per month for rent, insurances, food and pleasure. That's enough. As long as my dividends cover this, I'm set.
Kudos foryour dedication, but it would be important to nevertheless find sources of enjoyment (that cost very little or nothing) throughout the way - this is what will keep you happy, motivated and going. Getting books from the library, hiking, running, swimming, learning a new hobby through free youtubevideos, helping others in difficult situations, learning to meal prep frugal, healthy and nutritious meals to be properly fueled- all of these things cost little to nothing but can bring you a lot of joy. Also, consider building a side hustle on a topic you are very passionate about that would allow you to leave your job much faster and work on your own terms.
@@Laura-je2uw Hi Laura, thank you and yes, I'm doing all that, apart from the side hustle, for which I really don't have time and energy. Leaving my job is not too far away, hopefully, and if I can stay on track as planned. All the best to you and thank you for your thoughts!
so glad I stumbled across your channel right as im prbably as lost as ive ever been in my life. Long story short I worked for my father in his metalworks company throughout covid, got really mentally drained by the entire situation and almost ruined the relationship with my father, so I decided to leave everything behind from one day to the other, moved countries to a circle of friends who now are my family. Being responsible for my very own life for the first time in my life as a 27 y old has been nothing but terrifying and hard.. I now realize what I left behind and am much more appreciative of what I had in the past, but I cannot rly go back since my father and I are just functioning better when we dont see each other day to day. I am now the director of my own story but am just lost at how I will make it. Your videos are giving me one hell of a stepping stone to get things right, drop out of school I dont even want to do, get a "necessity" job and then start building towards my dreams and ambitions. I feel like it the beginning of something big but right now I am terribly scared because I feel like I might have bitten off a little more than I can chew. Good luck to everyone out there, may your wishes come true!
You're doing solid work. Being scared is evidence you are living your life and not hiding in someone else's shadow. Trust yourself, work hard, don't fall prey to addiction. You'll do fine.
Sounds like you may have learnt a strong work ethic from your Dad. Harness that energy and point it in your chosen direction.
Having said that, I started my own business at your age, struggled, persisted and prospered. My biggest achievement in life was meeting my wife and having two kids. I was determined to not expose my kids to the negative aspects of my childhood. Peace and love from Australia ✌🏼🇦🇺🌏
Wow… I was about to give you some sound advice, but reading the comments above speaks for itself. And the simple fact that you have “Self Awareness” already shows your ahead of the game & most certainly will figure it out. Good luck on your journey friend…. YOU’VE GOT THIS! 💙
science/conscience 😉
@@crouchingwombathiddenquoll5641
Me too! Great job!!! 💙
Working with family is very difficult with all family's, our parents do the best with what they know. It sounds like your dad loves you very much & has given you the space to your own freedom. I hope your doing well & good luck🤗
Dan, thank you for the effort putting out this very helpful content. In time of need, you have helped me realise a new level of clarity necessary for my future development. Through your pragmatic approach for evaluating one’s most pressing problems, my eyes are wide open; focussed on what issues need to be prioritised and where my attention needs to be [not to mention the steps required to get to the next stage to make effective change].
I can’t thank you enough.
Wow. Thank you Dan! You’ve literally encapsulated everything I’ve been thinking and feeling for the last few years. I get a sense of depth and real insight from listening to you. Tysm. 🙏🏼✨
The volume is mad low on this particular video so just keep that in mind but otherwise excellent content
The volume gets better as you watch
Good stuff Dan, thank you for putting out content like this!
Grazieeeeeee! Fantastic!!! 😍❤🙏 After reading so many books on finding purpose THIS is the best piece of advise and point of view I've ever stumbled upon! Thank you for taking the time to share this video 🙏 I send you lots of energy ✨✨✨
The fact that I learned so much from this video, for free no less, is a blessing. Really, such great, amazing, succinct content. Thank you.
Excellent video with a lot of pertinent information regarding your immediate purpose. And he provides a smart description of what your purpose should be.This is one of the freshest perspectives I've heard in a long time. Thank you Dan for this timely video and overall great content on a regular basis.
I'm always extremely sceptical to these kinds of videos, self improvement in general, but you have been very inspiring. You are more clear on how to progress in life, while other people often don't know what they are talking about since their success was a very concrete thing. They are telling you to quit certain things to save up a few bucks a month, but they brag about how much they spend on cars, partying, women etc. They got random success from some unethical business and they try to make it seem like that cola you shouldn't buy makes all the difference.
Success is literally just accomplishing goals. Find a problem in your life, and instead of complaining about it, find the solution and make that your purpose/goal. A successfull person does not neccessarily own a million dollars. It's not about money. It's about happiness and purpose.
to be fair if success is achieving goals than the millionaires that had goals of getting rich are successful
@@maxypad3379 No one gets rich by just wanna "get rich", its the passion of whatever youre up to, thats the key.
@@maxypad3379 Find one person who's only goal was to become a millionaire, and then became one.
Thank you 🙌 I'm so sick of these dudebros who define success as pure materialism. If I wanted to shill an unethical business to a bunch of naive people to get rich quick I would. But my spiritual standards are much higher than that. If you only define success in terms of gEtTiNg RiCh you are bound to participate in the corrupt illuminati social pyramid scheme that is designed to reward predatory and deceptive people. True success (ie alignment with your spiritual purpose whilst also surviving) is a lot harder than getting rich
this video is legit high quality...probably one of the best so far. it could be a full course in and of itself
This was insanely good and valuable - thank you for sharing and I'm glad I found your channel 🤗
Thanks to Dan's special F Formula I got 4 women pregnant. 🙏
Lmfaooo

That’s my dawg
I so feel you…. His f formula was so applicable , I got myself pregnant 🫃! #onepersonbusiness
I know you.I am subscribed to your channel.
Your videos keep getting better and better, Dan ❤
Dan, The work you put out is inspirational and instructional, with a framework to move forward on a fulfilling journey to life. Thank you
Powerful ideas I am very familiar with, but you explain them in a very unique way that resonates deeply with me. Thank you for your work Dan.
This content is gold !! For someone who has done a lot of reading and self reflection, this is just the truth I have finally started to realise ! Thanks for this content.

We are all brainwashed, lied to, tricked
Love your videos and this one was just wow.
So many important reminders.
Was much needed.
Dan, I can certainly commend you on the level of depth in your content.
You have an introspective approach on just us humans just merely living and being sentient but also maximizing our potential using our surroundings/knowledge.
I find myself coming to your videos near the end of the day when I want to put everything together and really update my biological software.
Appreciate the hard work man.
I haven’t yet watched but the title!
10 years ago I quit my job after issues with management.
I tried working from home under various schemes and everyone would laugh and say it’s a pyramid scheme, get a job. Fairs. But then what is an employment structure if not a pyramid scheme. And then what is society itself if not a pyramid scheme. So much illusion crumbled right there for me in that moment 10 years ago. I’ve said it ever since. Society is a pyramid scheme! This is the first time I’ve seen it written.
To communicate with very little ego on a platform that fuels, promotes and gives rise to it is truly amazing. Loving this content. ❤️
This video was actually more helpful for me than most of the videos I watched
Thank you Dan. This was your best video I've seen
"your purpose is the most pressing problem in your life right now" thanks this is what I was looking for
Amazing content as always Dan,
I always liked to share my thoughts with family and friends and help them with their problems,
I like to do research on a lot of different topics, so in my circles I'm always the go-to for information and advice.
Obviously I don't expect to be always right, but hey hopefully I can help most of the time.
Thanks again for the amazing content, thanks to you and other cool figures that I look up to online, I decided to become a creator myself.
My main hope with the channel is to create a community of interesting people, and actually make connections irl if possible, I will of course consider monetary gain, I would be a fool not to, but that will be a "lesser purpose" :)
Thanks again, best wishes in life.
What unbelievable value you've shared!
Thank you for this video..I always try to take on too much at the same time and become overwhelmed, lose focus and feel stuck. This is such a nice breakdown on what to do and how to get unstuck ❤ I deeply appreciate your video and will definitely subscribe
I am no expert. for loss of focus, have you verified the type of food you consume & quality of sleep? Take care.
This video blew me away... thank you, thank you, thank you ❤🙏
This is the best description of purpose, defining it and using it I've ever come across. 🤙
I already read your newsletter, and it was one of my favorites. As soon as I saw you posted the video version, I couldn't help but to watch/listen to it to consolidate what I read. Excellent content as usual! Thank you for the clarity and inspiration. Love your style!
Great video!: so many levels and perspectives, clarity and vision. Thanks again for the dedication and sharing! - Following my North Star.
I think balance is really important too, a lot of people never accept responsibility because it seems like we have to be a certain way all the time but I think slowly evolving into your best form is the most natural and effective for long term change
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast, may be a true statement for lots of things in life. But I think when it comes to human nature, most people are just not willing to work very hard for anything. So “taking your time”, however that may be true in some cases, it really comes down to how hard you are willing to work. For how long can you sustain that? And if you’re not asking the right questions, and your cap on how hard you’re willing to work is not very high as it is, then your chances of succeeding in anything is already almost zero. No matter how long this person slowly progresses, they will not achieve any real difference by the time they die. You gotta find a way to go all in, and mean it to the core, consequences be damned. Your either in or your out. Developing this kind of mentality, and holding yourself to an extreme level of responsibility and discipline, this is how you can actually get somewhere with anything. In my experience at the very least.
Dan, you have been my inspiration to create my UA-cam Channel and begin using my voice to help others. Looking forward to your Digital Economics Bachelors course.
This video is so helpful to me in terms of clarity and helping me to simplify or articulate something I understood but it was nebulous in my mind. Thank you!
great video Dan 🙏
I am very amazed by all you said, so good to watch great content coming from a person that is self aware and can help out others, it inspired me to get on my youtube channel, it has been hard to me to choose something I really can add to the world but with something that comes from my heart. Thank you for all the tips, I am trying but now and each day closer to my best version of myself. Cheers from Brazil.
btw, it toke me less than 5 min to subscribe to your channel, I guess the right people and information comes at the right time along our journeys in life.
Very useful perspective in this video , thanks Dan for sharing
I guess I will sign up for the modern mastery for community and oh just everything. you are such a breath of fresh air!!! thanks for showing up. brilliant approach. new sub. :)
YOUR A LEGEND BROTHER!!! Such Vivid Be Free Content!!!!! 🤩
I appreciate having the subtitles option back. Thank you!
Thank you for your work and thank you for breaking things down that I’ve been trying to breakdown for myself without making me feel like an idiot I appreciate you. Take care💖
What a great delivery! Another unraveled master of modern society "Period" (word for emphasis -
Once again, another awesome video from you Dan. You are truly brilliant, and I love that you mix philosophy, spirituality, and entrepreneurship together to form a tangible understanding of the modern world. Truly spectacular video :)
Very insightful and resonates. Watched this in the stillness of the night, and not a dull second of those 40 mins.
Dan is my favorite LinkedIn content creator. 👍🏼
Mindblowing. Thank you.
Came to the conclusion attention was our most valuable commodity about two years ago. You’re the only one I’ve come across speaking about it! I had the thought after reading many books on different topics.
Min. 32:09. To min. 32:29. My favorite part from today, thanks Dan ! I'm continuing improving in English and my new Me... with you
Thanks for your video!
Absolutely amazing video!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Repeating boring fundamentals is the way to mastery. Today more than ever I'm convinced of this, mainly thanks to you Dan. Thanks for the talk.
I appreciate the fact that you shared a practical blueprint. 🎯🤞🏾
I have been watching your videos lately, and I have to say its one of a kind on youtube. The content of your videos start with a sort of philosophy and find their way to the purpose of the video. Can't wait to see this type of content being appreciated more!
Thank you🧘♂️live your content
My personal Method is aROUND PURPOSE too… everything focuses IN on… expands OUT and moves around the cycle… recently found your channel… excellent content!
Very insightful. Getting moving is an issue for many. I go to the gym. There are days that I think, I will take a break, Knowing if I do this, the breaks come far to often.
At one gym, there was a blind man there, with his dog. The trainer would help him on the treadmill, while his dog laid in front of the treadmill. He would also run the isle with the trainer guiding him.
I have seen people with leg braces on, getting on the treadmill. Other "disabilities" that did not stop some from going to the gym. When I get that lazy day in mind, I think of the people that cant do what I am procrastinating about and do it.
thank you for The Power Planner , is amazing .
In the beginning when you talked about following the process of your thoughts/emotions the connections related to it and reminded me of a book that my wife and I recently started reading together. Really recommend it:
“How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking”
Lol seriously?
@@trippybruh1592 Seriously! It shows a unique perspective on the utility of mathematical thinking in everyday life.
Most people dislike math, I and the author propose, due to omitting this perspective in standardized math education.
Great reassuring content ! Thank You
The beginning of this is a awsome way to explain the fractal universe via a practical and grasp able way thru thought so thanks! Awsome!
Bro this is super awesome I needed to hear this and I do have a life purpose I am gonna make something to make the world better for people who want it with a product that’s natural healing uplifting and spiritual. Thank you for the video I’ll have to watch it again because there is so much to offer.
Thank you Dan!
Big thank you Dan, you’re the best ❤
This was a very good video thank you for speaking so clearly and building on the info as you went. I am looking forward to joining your program.
My favourite was that the boring fundamentals are not boring. I need to keep grinding to become a pro. Thanks, master Dan!
im so glad i decided to watch this video. honestly, thank you.
Very deep intellectual content. I took amazing notes . My goal is creating a new matrix for my culture you just helped me 10x my GAMEPLAN . Thanks Dan !
I only found your videos this morning and it feels as if you are talking to yourself before the success. I work on myself everyday alan watts when i was younger was the one who opened up my eyes on the world. Thank you for doing this because it really resonates with me. Bet you are the guy who listesn to some kevin kelly and jason silva shots of awe as well.
I think it's very important to remember that any icon, teacher, mentor, guru or any kind of purveyor of knowledge and wisdom it's still a human being filled with flaws and fears and doubts and ego. One person that I think got me very interested in self-reflection in the exploration of consciousness would be Alan Watts and when you listen to him speak it sounds like he has it all together it sounds like he gets it, but if you look at his life you see a lot of inconsistencies that could invalidate what hes saying. I mean he had multiple unsuccessful marriages, was known to be an alcoholic and was categorized as so by his own children, and while his words of wisdom are so valuable I think even he and especially he would remind us that nothing that he is saying is something we can't figure out on our own that we don't need him or any other guru to teach us. Sometimes that guidance can be helpful especially if you are new to some of these concepts but the true understanding of those concepts is something that cannot be taught it has to be earned through your own understanding. I reference back to an amazing book by Hermann Hesse called Sidhartha where he examines the life essentially the Buddha but along his journey is informed of a great teacher who is called the Buddha by a friend of his and he journeys to hear him speak. He listens to the Buddha and he agrees with everything the Buddha is saying and after he is done speaking he approaches him to talk. He tells him that he agrees with everything he has heard and he believes that Buddha is truly enlightened, but the Buddha has nothing to teach him and to this the Buddha is intrigued and asked him to explain. He says that in words he cannot be taught what it is like to experience and lightning that's the way the Buddha did under the bodhi tree, in words there is no way of explaining how to find that understanding of the universe of life, the only way he can do that is to go out and try to find it for himself to which the Buddha smiles and tells him to go do so. The first thing he does is he breaks from his ascetic monk lifestyle and finds a woman to teach him the art of making love. After that t picks up a trade and becomes a businessmanfor many years and lives the life a businessman would full of money and success and friends and family until one day he wakes up and realizes that he has learned everything he can from that lifestyle and decides to search for something new. In that search he comes to a river and they blind ferryman and without words the ferryman teaches him how to sit and listen to The River and the world around him. After many years of just listening and being and reflecting that is when he finds it and what's so fascinating is as I read what it is he finds I know I have not found it because in reading his story I am not instructed on how to find it only in the knowledge that I must do so on my own in my own. If you realize that when you stop putting these figures on pedestals realize that they are not more special than you will have access to something you don't that everything they have you can find inside yourself if you want to. Learn the lessons read the books watch the videos but in the end the real work is when you're alone in your own head working through your own realizations
There is an even deeper enlightenment though.
The enlightened practice of not writing everything in one long paragraph.
This gives rise to greater capacity for teaching as it's actually possible to read text without losing our sanity.
@@cyberneticbutterfly8506 ok fair enough point I suppose. I was just using voice command to comment while I was getting ready for my day so grammar was not high on the priority list.
@@cyberneticbutterfly8506 Lol imagine moaning over wisdom being hard to get because you need to focus a little for 3 minutes.
@@cyberneticbutterfly8506 Thank you for the thoughts and the short summary of the book. I have been wanting to get it but would need to use amazon as its not available in my own language.
Dan, I recently discovered your channel but the things you say and teach resonate with my beliefs 100%. I am a gaming content creator for a very niche 8 years old game called Endless Legend (EL). For the longest time I convinced myself that I wouldn't be able to make money sharing EL content, but to be honest I think I was just running away from doing the work required to grow my audience. Finally in 2022 I took the plunge and started streaming and making UA-cam videos and have been having a blast doing it even though my audience, the EL community, is small. The work I do feels meaningful because I receive lots of positive feedback from my community about how much they enjoyed my content or how my content helped them. As long as even 1 person finds enjoyment from my content, or even better, 1 new player decides to join our multiplayer games because of my content, I will continue to make more.
Thank you for sharing valuable wisdom and improving people's lives!
Funny you mentioned Holism. I’m about to start reading Jan Smuts 1927 thesis on Holism upon which many of these ideas are based from my understanding. I love these little ethereal moments/ coincidences in life.
I appreciate that in your videos you also give actionable advice derived from these philosophies.
