The biggest lesson I got from this is the need to break free of recreating nostalgia and fulfilling the distorted dreams we had as children. Not every present action needs to be in retaliation to or a repudiation of our past misery. Our actions must always be in response to the needs of today. Instead of toxic thoughts controlling our actions like: "I'm buying this because I was a laughing stock when I was 12. Where are the snobs now? Are they still mocking me over what I didn't have? Am I still a joke to them? Not after this." We should instead think: "I don't need this right now. Who cares what people think about me. Who cares what they ever thought." Somehow we internalised others' negative opinions as personal truths and live our lives controlled by this toxicity. We're better at deflecting it as adults, but when we were young and seeking trusted guidance in the world, we absorbed a lot of it that now controls us.

Excellent commentary. It takes a strong and self-assured personality to undertake the suggestions you make here. Going "against" societal AND parental expectations will be the hardest task you will ever undertake. We are programmed from our earliest days to "fit in" to societal expectations by parents who have embraced societal expectations. Be prepared to be alone--a lot. Be prepared to be pressured to "give up" your silly childish desire to be authentic. Your Mom will want a grandchild. Your Dad will want to boast about your career. Your siblings will want to compare themselves to you. Your potential "wife" WILL want to big house, the nice car, the Hawaii vacation, and 2 children. All those things said, the very best thing a person can do is go their own way.

This is great. My life's been better ever since I adopted a mindset similar to this about a year ago, doing what I want to do in the moment rather than waiting for the "best time" to do it. E.g. going for that bike ride now, rather than waiting for the perfect weather that will never come, or waiting for other people to join in. I found living cheaply was much easier once I found these things that I really enjoy. Waiting for money, other people, or nice weather just leads to doing nothing at all. Live in the moment, cause the future is exactly that, always in the future

I came to a breaking point with some of the horrible emails my boss was sending me. I worked hard and I gave them the best I could, but that man is sick. I took a risk and quit on the spot. I couldn’t do it anymore. I feel a lot freer… doesn’t feel real yet… and I need another job. But… I think, despite all of the social constructs that make me feel like it was stupid, it wasn’t and I’m going to be okay. Everyone close to me saw how it was impacting my quality of life and were all very supportive. I didn’t expect that. They called me courageous, each independently of one another. I guess they’re right. I get one life. I want to enjoy it.

As I continually find myself naturally living a life that I find fulfilling, I continually find that I ALWAYS have ALL of the resources to support that life.

Now that I’m essentially starting over, I can literally hear the judgement (I’m clairaudient.) It's inspiring to find others who refuse to be mere participants in the rat race, even in an age where it's conveniently packaged within the palm of our hands. Here's to those who value meaningful pursuits over the mindless hustle. 🥂✨

I stumbled upon this notion a year ago and have been working towards it since. Essentially, as adults, we typically get up in the morning to 👉🏼 get ready for work. However, I'm advocating for a shift towards getting up in the morning and, 👉🏼 getting ready for play. And now, play can be whatever you do to keep that fire inside you turned on. ✨ Unlike work, which for a lot of us, dims our light. -- Before this realization, I was a strong proponent of working nights whenever possible. 🌙 Trust me, scheduling your day this way, prioritizing your own work in the morning before doing work for in someone else’s name, results in much higher energy levels. It may feel like when you rearrange a room and you see that you have so much more space, and without having gotten rid of anything! 😉

I completely agree. We burn ourselves out for *someone* *else* and we are slaves to the system. Meanwhile, our lives tick by without ever having the opportunity to live them- unless we’re lucky enough to make it to old age, in which case, we are too old and feeble to truly live out our dreams. I’ve learned that hard lesson after being a workaholic, only to become disabled by that job at the age of 37, and that workplace that I gave so much of my hard work, energy, and dedication, where are they now? They don’t care about their employees, they care about the bottom line. When I got hurt, they treated me like a problem they were trying to make go away. And although I truly loved my job, I wasn’t making great money to be there. And now my body is destroyed, in my prime, and for what? Live your life, don’t put yourself last. Don’t procrastinate in your true journey of becoming you. We all think that there will always be plenty of time “someday,” but what happens when you’re unable to use that time to good purpose when it comes? I spend most of my day in bed, even unable to read most times because it’s too painful and difficult to sit up enough to read. I have a lot of time on my hands, but it is spent in pain and immobility, and spent waiting for something that will never come. I don’t say this for anyone to feel sorry for me, I don’t want pity. I am saying this because it is imperative that you enjoy your life *today.* Do the things you want *today.* Life the life you deserve *today.* Because tomorrow may not come in the way you think it should. I’m so grateful that I have KZitem and that I get to discover phenomenal individuals like this man here. This was one of the best things I’ve ever watched on the importance of living your life, I just wished I would’ve seen it sooner, but I would’ve been busy living life to make other people happy.

Of course, it’s (probably?) cool when your job is so meaningful and exciting that you can think about it all day long; but now I try to distance myself from my job. It’s not me.

Back in my late 20s I decided to get married and have a family. When you make that decision you also take on the responsibility of providing for the needs (and wants) of your family. So my time isn't necessarily my own anymore. That adds another layer that separates you from taking care of your own personal goals. I don't regret my decision to have a family, but sometimes I do wish I had more time to focus on myself. I have found myself being more forceful with taking that time recently, but it is difficult to do (and even more so when you have a family). But it is quite easy to fall into the "Well when I retire I'll have that time" mindset. But when I think back on my father, he maybe had 2 good years after he retired before health problems closed in. So, my suggestion to you is make sure your family knows that you need your own time and that their needs can't always be paramount. Be equally forceful in regards to yourself - don't allow the eternally expanding to-do list to take over your life.

HIlariously I left this open in a tab for weeks before finally getting around to watching it. I feel like I live in line with these ideas more than many of those around me, but the messaging from society has gotten so strong that I find myself constantly questioning my values. It's always nice to be reminded of these values through the reflection of others. Thanks!

Needed this so much today, thank you.❤ I took the day off of work (2nd day in a row) and felt so guilty about it. I just wanted time for me, I didn’t want to “perform”, I just wanted to be. I am going to be 32 this year and haven’t gotten around to all the things I want to do in my life because I have been in the mindset of “if I just work for a little longer then I’ll start on my passions” I’m already about to be 32 and I’ve had this mindset for ten years and it’s time to reevaluate what is truly important. Thank you ✨

Great video 👌🏼🔥 I think it very much depends on what you want in life, sometimes you have to ‘postpone yourself’ and do the hard graft first in order to achieve it. ‘nothing in life is handed to you’ for most of us in life this is the truth. You are definitely right about cutting out the BS like social media, procrastination and pointless distractions though that’s universal!

Wow! What an insightful video! 1. First off I loved that this video was short but not too short and to the point 2. I loved your calm demeanor and in general, your aura This really has made me reflect this morning. I come from an immigrant family, where the focus was education, wealth, degrees, and physical beauty. These are the things that are valued by my family. And growing up, this had a severe (and still does) impact on my mental health. I often sometimes wakeup and feel like a worthless human being, but this video gave me hope. I am on a journey of spirituality and lately I have been (as you said in your video) getting up late, going to work and then not having time or energy to do what I really want (connect to a higher power, read, make art etc.) - I also feel that if I tell people in real life this are the things I want to do - I will get laughed at and called a 'hippie.' But anyways, this was a lot of food for thought. THANK YOU

This video came at exactly the right time for me. I have been feeling a lot of lower emotions recently. I have been feeling very deeply that its time to stop holding back on myself and what I feel called to in this life. I can see the person I can become and the things I want to bring into the world. But I keep holding back and 'postponing' myself. Ive been doing it almost all my life. 'Waiting' for the right moment to step into the person I feel is inside me. And the value I can bring to the world. Ive recently passed 30 years old. And starting to feel like time is passing me by and I can no longer hold back on these things. Some might say thats young and laugh. But to me having had these dreams and calling for years now. It feels like a long time to delay. Anyway I just randomly opened KZitem tonight after feeling all these emotions the last few weeks and especially the last few days. I felt so present watching this video. And it hit me very deeply. It then led me to being reminded of this quote below. I cried when I read it. Thank you for this video. Its exactly what I needed right now. This is the quote: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others"

Indeed this title spoke to me. There are many ways this title can be interpreted. For me, I’m at a point in my life where keeping my word to myself is my top priority. Why? Because I have not kept it for years now. This has affected my self-esteem, confidence, and ability to trust myself. My current life circumstances are also a result of postponing myself. Regarding the phrases “throw it all away” or “untie the knot” a phrase I also use is “burn the boats”. They all have the same meaning. Brilliant video and one that resonates exactly with this point in my life. Thank you sir.

You know what's more expensive than a car though? Dependents. Unless you are fine with letting them grow up in poverty and letting them figure out how to fund college (or to not and have their career options severely limited). And, if you work less on improving your earning power in a career, you will end up spending more hours at work to fund a basic lifestyle because you are paid less per hour. It's not like you can decide you are no longer materialistic and just stop working, have all this free time. I agree that it is important to know what is really important in life and put that first. That doesn't support the claim that the answer is to 'desire less, earn less, spend less'. That applies in a minority of cases where somebody is putting in overtime at work in order to buy luxury goods, and they could stop putting in that overtime. I believe your observation here was helpful, but the conclusion rang hollow, was not sufficiently thought out. Edit: I think that a better conclusion would be to have more clarity on personal values and how those translate into action. I think if you asked most people what their deepest values were, their answers would be vague at best. Certainly not developed enough to live out. That would be a good place for most people to start.

If I can't afford to fix I'll sell it as I don't commute to work, luckily it's only a recreation car (and I don't even use it much for that lol). I'm "boring" but have space for things like reading, taking walks, hobbies, etc! I also live somewhere others may poo-poo (a mobile home park) but again it's the cost of "my life" that I factor in, no big mortgage means I'm more free...

Thank you for this. Not too long ago I felt like I needed to build up two multimillion dollar businesses in order to persue my indie artist career. Then I realized I wouldn’t have the time for my music if I was busy running businesses. I quit my cushy factory job, moved out of my 2BR apartment, into my car that I own, and ran my business out of a storage unit. Once I decided to get an RV I saved up $1200 and got a fixer upper to live in. It’s beautiful and I couldn’t be happier. Now that I’m not working to live, living to work, I am putting all my money into my music career. This is an amazing realization thank you for speaking on this
