Great video and insights! I’d like to add a few thoughts of my own, which I’m probably writing as much for myself as for others. I am writing these thoughts because I don't have anyone to share it with, so I realized I will share it here, it might help someone. For most of my 20s, I felt lost, but approaching my 30s became a wake-up call. I’ve been having long, reflective sessions with myself, asking, What’s next? During these moments, I realized that I already know what I need to do to create a good life. However, I’ve also come to understand that it’s not just about identifying action items or creating to-do lists. Instead, it’s about finding meaning and purpose-my true compass in life. Once that’s clear, the actions will naturally follow. The real challenge, which I’m currently working on, is uncovering that deeper sense of meaning and purpose to live for. Another significant realization has been about death. People often feel uneasy when they hear this word, yet many seem to forget its inevitability. Our actions rarely reflect an acknowledgment of this fundamental truth. I was imagining how aliens might perceive us-if they didn’t know that humans eventually die, they might assume we’re immortal based solely on how we live. From our excessive overthinking, fear of the future, and endless dwelling on the past, an alien observer might ask, How can mortal beings live this way? That’s why I’ve started reminding myself regularly that I will die one day. I refuse to let the routines and distractions of daily life obscure that fact. For me, this awareness brings focus, urgency, and clarity to how I live and prioritize. Adding to your point about the journey being more important than the destination, I believe this can be achieved by aligning with a true meaning and purpose. To complement that, I focus on cultivating core values-principles that aren’t tied to a specific end goal but instead serve as a constant guide through every stage of life. Another powerful tool I’ve adopted is the lens of regret. Before making a decision, I ask myself: Will I regret this in the future? How deeply might I regret doing-or not doing-this? The more significant the action, the greater its potential for regret, making it an important consideration in my choices. Life is meant to be lived, not endlessly over-analyzed. What I’m trying to reconcile now is the paradox of our mortality and how we live as if we’re immortal. It’s a contradiction I’m still grappling with, but one that is helping me approach life with more awareness and intention.
great video, thanks. we have to cease all doubts and not be afraid to succeed. I really needed this right now. I'm only steps away right now, and I have to not be afraid.
Dear--- I saved the life of 6 random people starting at age 21. God put me in a position where I either took action or made excuses later. In on case, about 6 bystanders stood frozen and could not even call 911. They froze. The lives of these bystanders might have the same belief system---- that no one cares; that "no one iscoming to save me." Happy to share more context if this sounds too "over the top".
Only God Almighty can save us. Call on the Lord and be saved. John 3:3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
Not entirely true. I was 60 year old homeless man and my baby sister came to save me from dying on the bitter cold street. But I get I'm a rare exception to the rule.
Do you give money away to help people less fortunate than you like homeless people on the streets? You should. It is God that gives you the power to get wealth. When you give to the poor, you have lent unto the Lord and he will repay you.
100%!! I totally agree. Thank you for sharing this. This is totally hyping me up! Great video!
They would absolutely perfectly understand every single part of your experience because they are you
its a pain ,but you gotta hustle
100 year old me can be summed up by a scene from the 1990s movie Kingpin: Roy: "Hey, Herb. How's life?" Herb: "Taking forever."
