      You'll see mate it's not really your choice if you want to marry or not when the girl you love starts hinting at and crying on for months on end (because her friends around her are getting married and shes not, the domino affect) then you'll eventually buckle one day like 80% of all men do then it's on!.....
      Fast forward 5 years
      Da fuck did I do that for! 😳 we were happy before the marriage 🤔

      I agree. AND...Steven iS A GREAT salesman. Steven is intelligent, thoughtful, kind even, but ultimately his main focus is being a salesman. The tribes idea is an old one and is over simplification. Primitive tribes also suffered short lives, disease, famine, violent death lack of books, lack of world perspective. The philosophical stuff isn't new either, he is taking old/current ideas and presenting them to sell himself.

    Steve, I can’t stress enough how you opened my eyes today… I literally understood why I was going hard at work every single day for the last almost 4 years, without knowing why I do this to myself. Why? Well, now I understood why, I was preparing for a moment that I am going to trigger very soon! I’m so excited about and I promise that I will share what happened in this thread! Thank you so so much!

    One of the best podcasts I've heard on the current state humanity and why depression and anxiety are increasing at alarming rates. This year was a big wake up call for a lot of people to live authentically as themselves. Not chase other people's goals and hopefully assessing or reassessing their lives.

  • @RJC10101
    @RJC10101 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Really good podcast Steven! The biggest problem we have as you touched on is people are doing stuff to impress other people all the time rather than doing stuff to please themselves and makes themselves happy!
    A major example of this is when people buy stupid shit with money they haven’t got (big debt for cars/houses etc) to impress people they don’t really care about.
    It’s all rather insane when you think about it. People are more focused on giving off a portrayal of happiness rather than actually being happy in reality.

    I’m an employee, not an entrepreneur and I love these conversations. But I really paid attention today when you expressed the identical feelings I have toward marriage. Almost verbatim. I always say that nothing says I love you like a legally binding contract. So glad someone else shares my view. Thank you!

    I resonate with this. I always felt like I NEVER fit in and I can be a loner at times because of it. I’m about to turn 34 and I get questioned why I’m not married yet, why I haven’t “settled” with a steady career or a homeowner like others expected for my age. After a couple of years, I get bored. I’m like an electron that bounces and cannot be pinned down. I’ve gotten shamed by family, (former) friends, even a therapist for not living up to society’s standards for my age. I hate to admit that I’ve developed some social anxiety because of it and only have 1 friend. During this pandemic, I’ve finally realized I was never meant to fit in and it’s what keeps me breathing and alive - I will continue to be that “outcast”. Your words made me feel validated and valuable.

      You could save up some £ and spend some time abroad. Living abroad or even just visiting for a while helps you to re-evaluate and find yourself and bonus: you're exposed to a new environment so you won't have to bump into anyone you know. Things will get better for you keep your head up, enjoy life in the present moment and put God first place. You are valued 🌟

      @@michaelsilverfoote6272 can relate to a lot of what you’ve said brother. I’m 34 and more or less in the same boat with regards to career, finance, friendships, depression/anxiety. Go from caring a great deal one day to being completely numb the next. One day I’m at peace with who and where I am, the next, far from it. Don’t know if I’m mentally stronger than I’ve ever been or if I’m completely numb. One thing that comforts me sometimes, I remind myself this is everyone’s first time here (Earth). Nobody has done this sh*t before. Whatever happens, we must go easy on ourselves. By all means be self-critical, but it has to be healthy, too. All the best to you brother, we’ve got today, and for that we are blessed 🤞🏻

    I'm quite glad I found this. I actually have been thinking along the same lines for a number of these topics that you covered. A lot of my thoughts are guided by questioning the "normality" around us, and this year, in particular, has really given me a better perspective of my own privileges and the amount of good luck I've had in life so far. I'm currently questioning everything from marriage to the concept of owning a house, and I didn't realise how radical these thoughts were until I mentioned it to my family - all of which are into traditional goals and starting a family. It's good to know where there are more people that keep questioning deeper.
    Thanks, Steven!

    This applies to 80% of the population that are extroverts. Introverts, like me, absolutely loved NOT working with coworkers and going into the office; however, I am more depressed and anxious because the job is absolutely purposeless and I’m 4 years away from retiring. It’s a paradox really.

    Imagine for a moment there is this ravenous thirst inside of you. A thirst that gradually originated from realizing that a lot of what we are taught through systems such as schools, universities, religion, and society is flawed. A thirst that grows on a daily basis as we are flooded with messages that are loaded with stigmas and agendas. The irony of being thirsty in a flood...
    Watching your podcasts feels like I'm dipping my cup into a well of truth and drinking water that is slowly but surely quenching this burning thirst.
    Thank you Steven.

    I think, and this is besides the content of the podcasts, which is insightful and gives so much every time, that there is a lot of courage for moving to a TH-cam format: you have to be delivering every second not only with your voice like you did before, but also keeping people watching and using good body language to express.

    Amazing thoughts as always, Steven! As for the marriage and monogamy issue, I completely agree with you. Even before you started to talk about it, I paused the video for a while and thought about it to analyze my own point of view on this topic, and after listening, my opinion was the same as yours. Keep going on these open and honest podcast series, it's wonderful and helpful to think about our own lives from a little bit different perspective than everybody is telling us! :))

    I found out about your podcast almost 2 weeks ago via LinkedIn and I love it. Even though I don’t agree with every point you or your guests make, it’s so interesting to hear them. When I listened to you the first time I thought to myself ‘I love how he asks all this questions and puts in some of his own content, but still let’s his guest narrate most of the interview and find their own way!’ So I decided I want to listen to one episode a day until I caught up, but what I realised pretty fast was that I couldn’t. Your podcasts have so much content, that I personally take at least 2 days to process and to adjust the things you said to my life, that I sometimes have to listen to it again because I forgot what you were talking about in the second half of it. It’s fantastic! Keep on sharing your thoughts with us 👏🏼

I really enjoyed the explanation of burnout due to extrinsic motivation. I feel like this was the best thing to talk about during the second lockdown. I'll look more into it and hopefully write about it in my company's newsletter. I think everyone should hear about this. Great job

I grew up with a schizophrenic mother and a very anxious father( they still locked up patients in asylums in the 60s + 70s) .I was my mums carer, when at school I worried about her, when I was at home I worried about school. At 15 I started drinking . I knew that alcohol gave me relief

    Thought provoking as ever. In terms of being yourself I agree that this is crucial and as a person with Autism/ADHD my experience of life is the opposite of yours in that I absolutely need time on my own in quite large helpings.
    The other day I got asked to go to a social gathering of ex work colleagues and was pleased to have been able to say thatI would really like to come, but it makes me feel really uncomfortable because I can’t handle a lot of loud noise and I don’t have the ability/capacity to filter out surrounding sounds and consequently can’t hear what’s being said and felt relieved to be honest instead of making an excuse, (although at the same time exceptionally frustrated and undeniably wishing I could be more like others, but that”s another story😊

    The part about the body to look good, is the same problem I have had for 4 years now. And I noticed this after the second year. The problem for me was, that in the summer I have always been a bit chubby. Like 5 kg overweight. By the end of summer i feel so bad that I start working out. For February or March I have always been in the best shape I have ever been. Managed to do 22 pull ups in a row last time(correct ones not crossfit). But once I reach February or March I am so satisfied with the result that I quit gym and start eating junkfood. When Summer starts I am fat again :D And this has happened for 4 years now.

    Great video. I agree with a lot of things you said except for marriage. I have been happily married to my wife for 16+ years and hope to be for many more. The signing of the contract and church is just showing the world we love each other so much we are willing to sign this document. You mentioned 50% of marriages fail, which is absolutely true, but it’s the people that failed not the institution of marriage. Marriage is a commitment and a lot of people who divorce do it for selfish reasons. I really liked the $10k an hour comment, I want to achieve that level of success as well. Keep doing the great job you are doing. I’m a fan.

  • @Carmen_Lee_Co
    @Carmen_Lee_Co ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I found your comparison between buying a TV with the knowledge that 50% don’t work, and monogamous relationships/marriage really interesting…
    According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)… “Data from the BLS shows that approximately 20% of new businesses fail during the first two years of being open, 45% during the first five years, and 65% during the first 10 years. Only 25% of new businesses make it to 15 years or more.”
    We also know that most businesses fail.
    But I’d imagine your opinions on starting a business (let alone starting a business without contracts) are very different than starting monogamous relationships, and also committing to marriage.
    Both have high fail rates-does that mean neither businesses nor marriage/monogamous relationships are worth trying?
    I’d say the risk/reward is down to what you find valuable in terms of your own happiness.
    If you find that XYZ is your goal and it leads to your personal fulfilment, you’ll happily take the risk no matter how high.

    Steve a big fan of your work and journey, been out here since Everyday Steve and that. Another brilliant episode, in regards to the monogamy of marriage and the actual worth, I am going to take a different angle outside of the view that marriage is a gift.
    When you enter into a business partnership or buy a piece of property or lend money to someone, why do you have the terms written down and even notarised? One reason is that a commitment has been made by both parties, and it is to the advantage of both to have the terms in writing.
    For instance, if one party dies, disappears, or simply loses their memory, the terms are still legally binding. The same is true in a marriage. In the event of the death of one mate or of both, the law in most countries makes provision for the surviving members of the family.
    This is usually lacking in the live-in arrangement. It is this commitment that makes the difference between living together and marriage. And the marriage certificate is a 'reminder' to the couple of that commitment to love, honour, and cherish each other and of the legal implications of the marriage vows.
    Lastly Steve, I always think could this apply to everyone in the world? If so, it makes sense, if not we need to reconsider. In this instance: Could everyone in the world be in a healthy, happy functional marriage without harming others? - Yes... Could everyone in the world be in very causal, loose relationships with multiple people? - No, it wouldn't work.
    Why not? We would have too many broken homes, unwanted pregnancies, STDs, abandoned children etc and society as a whole would crumble socially.
    The homes are the nucleus of society. Happy healthy homes = a healthy happier society.

    Great help I’ve watched 10 of your videos over the last few days. I’m very fortunate not having to work for the last couple of years at 24. Going through some of these struggles atm whilst travelling the world. I really don’t feel like I can complain but we all have our own struggles.

    Listening 1 year on, this is still, if not possibly more relevant today. We all can very easily become part of the machine again without realising - myself included.
    I’ve only just started watching this series, what I find gripping and refreshing about these Steve Exclusives is, they aim more towards asking questions for yourself than giving you the answers.
    Thank you for helping people remove their masks 🙏

    Thank you Steven. This is your perspective. We live in a money driven society. To earn enough money to buy a house and raise a family is one of humans highest priorities. To maintain this humans forfeit human nature's needs. Have we got the motives and the balance wrong ??

    Simplicity before understanding complexity is stupid, but simplicity after understanding complexity is genius. Totally agree going back to our core mission of creating meaningful human relationships and not base our lives on external validations. True-love doesn't necessarily need to be confirmed by marriage. On the other hand, I consider that being committed to your partner can bring several benefits throughout your life.
    I've never fit within the society, no matter how much I tried when I was younger. For some moments I felt good but deep down I knew that fitting in doesn't represent me. I never liked school, and because of that, I left my home country to make my dream possible. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on such important topics. It was great to see that someone with a prosperous status can claim that working for money was wrong.

    Ok Marriage ;my take : reality is, the longer you are with your partner , the layers you unpeel , you literally lay yourself bare to that person, they see you at your weakest , you share the absolute worst and the best …that level of vulnerability can only take place in a secure relationship. I guess the formality of a wedding ceremony is simply recognising this commitment . The reality is, as a couple you have to work together, to support your partner and obviously they do it back for you…..the best relationships seem to be when the individuals stop thinking Me Me Me ……it’s too easy to walk away, but you lose a depth in relationships if you do . Thirty plus years on, its work in progress Every Day, but the depth of understanding is incomparable….no one will know you like this and that is amazing, deep, rewarding , comforting ……
    Good podcast 👍👍👍

    Marriage: why we need contract bond although both of them in love? Love itself sometime in peak or at low stage so marriage contract is something in return remind us about our promise. Example: 1: in Business partnership, multiple persons trust each other that's why they want to be a business partner but they also prefer to write down, so they have something tangible about that bond. 2: we wrote meeting minutes or todos list to remind ourselves what we have done on an occasion or what we have to do. It does not mean we don't have strong memories.

    My half, is my better half, she is my friend, wife, lover and so much more, I am sure if life puts you in front of that unconditional love, you might change idea about monogamy :) sure it’s not easy, we are humans, I also did many mistakes, but I learned from them.

    Marriage is a man made thing created many moons ago to protect children from starvation - to make men responsible for making children. I blame Walt Disney for making us all believe you're supposed to meet your prince charming and live happily ever after! You should look up TED talk by Esther Perel as she believes our relationships need to evolve too. Great episode of your podcast. Still working out my purpose in this life.

    Man I really enjoy these types of episodes! I love how it you make me laugh about „simple“ issues like being attractive to the LADIES, and then transition to an heartfelt epiphany :D
    The thing that hit me most in this episode was the perspective that „ The moment I accomplished the goal wasn’t when I GOT the Range Rover, but the moment I SOLD it, because I realized I didn’t need it in the first place to fix my insecurities! 🙏✨
    Perfect start in the week thank you Steve!
    I started to integrate a new sports routine in my daily life, by running along the river in my hometown while listening to audio books and playing some Basketball on my own afterwards. I think and hope it will give me a sense of clarity every morning to focus trough the day 😁🏋️‍♀️⛹🏽‍♂️✨
    Keep rocking Steve! Looking forward to next week 😁

    people have always told me i'm intelligent but i'm such an outcast socially that it makes it hard for me to make money. then i begin to doubt if i'm as smart as people say i am because if i was, i'd be doing better in life. i'm a former artist & former musician. did both for 20 years, i got very good at it but neither worked out. people half as smart as me are twice as successful, are married & have functioning families etc. i'm a middle-aged social outcast with no living immediate family & almost no human contact outside of social media, no wife, no girlfriend & no kids. most jobs i get i lose because socially, i just don't fit in anywhere. the only place i fit in is with other gamers who are social outcasts who of course, also don't make money. probably not the best company to keep if i want to get ahead financially. any suggestions?

    I agree with you about 'love should be enough' and it's all outdated. However, purely practically speaking (and I'm not being judgemental in any of the following), all of the marriage formality, legal contracts etc. is a leftover from the days when women were men's property and were not allowed to earn their own money. Put simply, marriage was a contract to make sure that men got sex on demand and their households maintained, while women were looked after and children fed, no matter what, especially because in the 'olden days' men were routinely unfaithful. Even now, STILL women are not paid the same as men for the same jobs AND lose massive career impetus when they take time off to bear children. Then, when 50% of men leave, no matter whose fault, while many do pay upkeep, it's very, very common that men don't contribute for whatever reason and it's MUCH HARDER to enforce any payment when you are not married. Most men do, after all, have to set up and maintain another household when they fall in love again. Look at Boris, he must be maintaining about 8 households by now. The marriage contract is much simpler than the ones they have in the USA which is why people get married. Not to mention the tax incentives, paltry though they are!

    Im alone. My own boss. No work/ life balance. It's interesting, for sure. Im an herbalist. I talk to my clients all day. The only thing that keeps me doing this is bc i do it for my own health and wellness. I'd be making herbal remedies for myself daily anyway. I healed my lupus and cancer. Now I heal myself and over 1,000 clients. So even if i stop providing herbal products for my clients, I'll still be making them for myself anyway. But i do need more balance. I feel weird at times. I still get burnout bc its just me doing allll the work. I will to hire employees and get a warehouse in time.

    So true about marriage, all nonsense and I feel sorry for those who feel the 'need' to marry. What a shame they're so insecure they need a piece of paper to prove to others and themselves they're committed to each other.

    I have a few friends (male) who don't believe in monogamy and though they say they are happy it's very obvious to me that they aren't. They are scared to death of commitment. Most things in life require commitment if they are worth anything at all.

    Really insightful to hear your thoughts on marriage. To me it's a partnership and it is made for women to feel secure. Guys can go out and procreate as much as they want whereas women can only create life once a year. If they cheat, the courts will always defer the children to the woman. Ultimately, it comes down to safety, security and insurance which is the case for most contracts and that is what marriage is.
