At 15 i started using drugs everyday. 15 years later i finally went to rehab. Clean and sober now for 6 months, finally life feels like it is somewhat beginning. Now at 32, trying to figure out everything is very demoralizing. It's a hard difficult road ahead.
I’m 25 and totally miserable. I’m hoping if I reflect now on what is really important to me and what I most value, that I might be able to circumvent some of this existential pain in my later years. It’s so hard to feel this directionless and uninspired already, but I hope that if I am able to connect to myself and to the wise advice of people such as yourself, that there might be a life more fulfilling than I could have ever imagined on the other side of this intense suffering. Thank you for this video, and for reminding us all that we are much more malleable than we tend to tell ourselves. Letting go of limiting beliefs is crucial if we really want to open ourselves up to all that life can offer, I think.
Becoming physically fit was what had resonated with me. Unfortunately, my mid 30s through mid 40s was when I had let unhealthy lifestyle choices permit to regain weight after successfully losing, maintaining weight loss in my early 30s. It was late 2020, after reaching 45 that I had decided to lose weight again. Lately, I have lost about 60 pounds & want to lose additional weight to be at a healthier weight. Changing eating, physical activity, stress management, etc. have helped me out lately. Career, educational pursuits remain a gradual work in progress. One day at a time for many tasks works well for me.
Another great video. Thank you, sir! I agree that taking risks is a good move to improve your life. I have taken a couple of big risks in the last 5 years that I was scared to do. But, looking back now, I realize I could not even predict at 28 how much better I would feel at 33. The benefits I expected were far surpassed by the actual positive impact on my life. The pandemic has been a setback in some ways, and I am now trying to break free of the risk aversion the pandemic let in. I have been starting to expand my social network and look for new hobbies to connect with others around, so your encouragement to keep at it is a message of optimism today. Have a great day and keep putting a positive message out there for the world.
So glad to hear that your risks are bringing you rewards! That’s the best way to live my friend. Keep climbing, and thank you for the kind words and support! 😊🙏🏻
I've been listening through a few of your videos. You're exactly the voice I needed to hear right now. I think you're a tremendous help to men wading the uncertain waters of their 30s - like you mention, it's a demographic that doesn't get much positive attention or reinforcement. Please keep making these videos, and thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this video! Hearing someone else talk about the same things I've been thinking about really helps! I'm even more excited for the future now! Cheers!
The root cause of these problems are economic. Many people in their 30s in the present including myself were scarred by recession and economic decline and then the pandemic hit this demographic harder as people were not financially and psychologically stable as a result of not having fully had a healthy young adulthood. The newer younger generation who are just entering the workforce are the most fortunate into getting into jobs and building a stable foundation for adulthood to their 30s as the post-pandemic had a job boom. I am 30 and I am just reaching financial stability and getting a job that I could have had many years ago but was possible due to the post-pandemic economy.
I am 39 and am planning on making some big changes. In my 20s , my life was like an adventure as I lived in 2 new countries and dropped 2 albums. In my 30s, I had to start building my career and paying off student loans and helping family. However other things haven't happened like finding a partner. I want a new wild adventure again
Good question! I’m still navigating my 40s so don’t want to pretend that I know what I’m doing here 😊 having said that, I am surprised how much of my life changes in my 30s have helped me grow and evolve in my 40s. How about you?
Not at all! I have started several new things since the age of 40, so I don’t feel like life is set or ‘over’ past the age of 40 at all. Hang in there my friend! 😊🙏🏻
Hey mate im a Sydney sider at 30. Looking to move to Cali like you! My brother lives there hoping to get a family visa. What work are you doing over there?
I'm 33 making 600-700 a week and that's better than I better done sadly... I need to be making atleast 2k a week and it's possible for me I just need too move up

I am just reaching financial stability and getting a job that I could have had many years ago but was possible due to the post-pandemic economy. Many younger people with no experience got into this job in my company and even moving faster as well because they did not have any gaps like people in our demographic did. I was in a similar situation from 25-31 years old. But like I said our demographic came into the job market at bad times and not many reached a healthy financial adulthood or achieved a competitive work experience so as to be at a mid-career level. We are basically still at entry-level competing with the younger adults who experienced no economic hardships and seemed to follow a normal trajectory in career building.
I'm changing my life at 38, I used to be miserable as well. I agree with this.
That’s so awesome to hear! Wishing you the best on your journey 😊🙏🏻
Did you change your life?

So weird but I'm in the exact same situation with the exact same numbers (15, 32 and 6 months)
@@vermeirenniels3464 I am about to hit month 9 already! You go to meetings?
I’m really proud of you!!!
How did you know exactly what video I needed right now? Just broke up with my old life at 30, starting over now. Thank you.
So glad it was useful for you Jennifer! I hope that this new phase makes you feel alive again! Keep me posted 😊🙏🏻

As someone who is 25, halfway to 30 haha, this is great advice!! I hope to use this to get my life to the place I hope to be in for the future.
So glad it was insightful for you! Wishing you all the best for the next 5 years towards 30 😊🙏🏻
Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.
Agreed! 💯😊🙏🏻
Any day is a good day to start over, no matter how old you are.
Agreed! 💯🙏🏻

Beautiful
At 35 this is my life feeling like a failure working nightshift security living paycheck to paycheck.😢
Great video. I'd say that you can do this at any age so long as your health allows for it.
Agreed! 😊🙏🏻
I just turned thirty in january I am finding these videos very inciteful and comforting
Glad to hear that Derek! Wishing you an awesome decade ahead. 😊🙏🏻
@@midsonshort Thank you I appreciate that same to you

I am sure you will have some new adventures again! Sounds like you've already done some pretty amazing things in your life. 😊🙏🏻
@@midsonshort yes, I achieved so much quickly by taking chances and I want to get back to that!
Do you have any words for 40 yr olds? You seem to have all the advice for those in their 20s and 30s🤔😊.

What about being miserable at 46? It's too late for me to start over again I guess since you mention 30. I am SOL.
Not at all! I have started several new things since the age of 40, so I don’t feel like life is set or ‘over’ past the age of 40 at all. Hang in there my friend! 😊🙏🏻
Hey mate im a Sydney sider at 30. Looking to move to Cali like you! My brother lives there hoping to get a family visa. What work are you doing over there?
Hey mate! Hope it all works out for you 😊 I worked with a consulting and training company that let me work remotely so it helped me get established
God bless you, Jesus loves you so much and died on the cross for us. ✝️🙏
I'm 33 making 600-700 a week and that's better than I better done sadly... I need to be making atleast 2k a week and it's possible for me I just need too move up
You will get there my friend! Stay focused on your goal and keep improving your skills. The rewards will come! 😊🙏🏻

In regards to career change… what did you do ?
God bless, god and Jesus will make your life better, just put your trust in faith in him 😃❤️🙏👍
What do you do for work? How were you able to get a visa for the US?
I'm 56. I started over in my 30s. I now make one-third of what I did then. LOL.
I feel ya! I actually make less money now than I did in my corporate job! I guess it’s all a matter of perspective of what matters most. 😊
So when are you going to tell me life's great mysteries brah?
As soon as I figure them out, you’ll be first to know 😉
wow. you have so much wisdom. thanks for this.
You are too kind 😌 Thank you for watching! Wishing you all the best!
Needed this video today. Absolute legend as always mate!
