9 Things to Not Take for Granted in Your 20s 🤔
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ค. 2024
- Reflecting on my 20s and sharing what I would tell my 20 year old self. These are the things to not take for granted; things you should appreciate and be grateful for each day. Be conscious of how valuable time is. Time is something you can never get back once it's spent. Use your time wisely and live your life with intention and purpose.
P.S. I filmed this last week before the tragic death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and the other victims of the accident. We've been grieving with a heavy heart the past couple days, but this has brought so much light and perspective into our lives. We are reminded that life is fragile and tomorrow isn't guaranteed. Kobe inspired us because he lived a full life. With his Mamba Mentality, he had an insane work ethic, drive, and dedication to greatness. He was a hero and left a positive impact on so many.
All of this shows me that it's not about how long you live, but WHAT you do with your life, and how you USE this gift you're given. Life is about QUALITY, not quantity. So I hope you take these thoughts with you and strive to live a quality life. Do what you love. Give others your love. And leave a positive impact on others. 💜

Aubony's Nook Bless you!
Allow me to add this to the list : Do good that you will be remembered of after your death it's like your signiture in life that said i was present and i contributed to the better of this humanitiy not just selfish me /pray always to be guided to the right path / live the second you have bearing in mind that it could be the last one so don't take your life for granted cz just how you came to it without paying attention you will gt out of it
thank you!!!
Societal pressures are fake, just enjoy being alive
I totally agree with you
Exactly
this is so true, I'm sick with people trying to better than anyone else and not being better just the idea of being better, being alive and feeling fulfilled in life, for me that's more important
So true ❤️ thank you
“take risks while you’re young” it’s my third time hearing this but I think third time’s the charm. I’m only 20 and I have so much anxiety and worry for the future when it’s the risks that I take NOW are what dictate my future.
10 years in the future I will look back at this comment and say “THIS is the moment I started creating my future.”
Thank you for this video! 🧡
My career and life planning class told me do what you want now don't worry about the future people change their minds and grow their careers so much you can't possibly imagine now what you are going to do later. Jobs are still being created to maybe you gotta create your dream one.
GlowingWellness this is a great tip! thank you 🙏🏻
We often need to hear the same reminder over and over again to stick. 🧡 You got this!!
Wishing you the best 👏🏻✨
Daring Living - personal growth podcast reminders Thank you ☺️!
Literally at that early 20s stage when I know I SHOULD be having fun but also lowkey getting pressured to achieve so much. This is such a timely video ❤️
Something I saw in another video that stuck with me that the backpack travel reminded me of is that when you are young theres less expectations on you. You can live with your parents, do dumb things, struggle, your financial mess ups won't be as bad, you have just yourself to worry about, you can do whatever you want. I say mid 30s is when you should be mostly figured out.
yes I'm 19 and I'll make 20 July 11th, 2021
very relatable love :( I'm also i n my early 20s!!
Spend time with your parents, that one hit me deep. I´m so grateful to have such a loving and trusting relationship with my mum and dad. Now that I´m 26 (they are 64 and 68) I realise that I won´t have them forever and that´s kind of scary. There is really nothing I can´t talk about with them - and that´s rare. Of course there were fights and teenage drama when I was younger. Especially my mum and I used to fight a lot about my life decisions. Now we´ve come to a deeper understanding of one another and love truly unconditionally. She told me: "I just want you to have everything in the world you need to be happy." And that made us both cry so hard
that’s so beautiful wow
Yeah, I'm happy to have such a loving family ☺
I’m turning 29 this year, and if I could go back and do my 20’s over, I would focus more on networking with the types of people I wanted to know, making friends, and pursuing my interests. My early 20’s were reaaally dumb. Definitely take more risks!!
The timing of this video couldn’t be more accurate. The month of January has been full of so much tragedy. With Earthquakes, forest fires, human trafficking and the most recent the passing of Kobe Bryant. It’s safe to say to LIVE IN THE MOMENT!! Tomorrow it’s definitely not promised. Do not take ANYTHING for granted.
From a self love content creator to another- loved this video and the timing of this topic Aileen! 💜
Well, so don´t watch the news and live your own life and follow the ´news´ about your friends, family, neighborhood, local community, etc.
Floris Gommer I think you might’ve missed my point. Live in the moment.. tomorrow isn’t promised. ❤️
This is so true. During finals and the pandemic, my friend died due to a motorcycle accident. This made me realize that things in life like sheltering in place is nothing compared to losing a love one.
瑷阿丽璦 Indeed! So sorry for your loss.
*Me in my start adult life.*
Aileen: In your 20s you have less responsibilities.
Me in shock: "You have more in the future than now?!"
You always get more like small child you start preschool then school then middle school then high school then part time jobs then maybe a car with that loan and insurance then college (maybe while working part time or full time) or straight to a ladder climbing job. If you did college maybe you have loans. Then you start to work up the ladder or graduate and get into your dream field. Hopefully you'll have a parter aka another person to look after and the responsibilities to meet their needs. As you work up in your field of ladder you have more responsibilities from being a higher up position plus maybe the debts from before then maybe you buy a house with a mortgage. Then you have a baby... a whole new person to look after and raise. Then maybe you have a second baby. Now you have 3 people to look after and meet the needs of plus any debts and job responsibilities. Babies become kids and have friends over now you also gotta look after someone else's baby. You gotta make sure you all always have what you need. Then the babies become teenagers and that's big and very hard lol. Then they start dating now you also have their partners to look after as well. Your babies' first heartbreaks, their marriage, etc. Then you get grandbabies, gotta worry about retirement did you save enough? Are you in good health? Will your kids look after you? Etc. Then did you do enough in your life? Etc.
Life is a hustle
Thought the same thing until I had a kid at 25... Trust me, you will have more responsibilities. BUT, you will also gain experience and be able to handle them. If you think you can't? Find a Life Coach...
...or a Life Coach should make a TH-cam channel. Hmmm... That means I'll have to change my cute little name/avatar though 😫 lol
But I could help more people... Though that's more responsibility... Which I'm more than capable of handling... Crud. 😵 Guess I should grab a notebook and start planning 🤣 lol
Need ideas. What do you need help with? Lol
ME HAHAHAHA
I guess like marriage and children
30's are awesome! You tend to really come into your own and everything you have been working toward really starts cementing.
true!
As AVICII said in one of his songs, The Nights: That's when I decided, when I die I wanna be remembered for the life I lived, not the money I made 💕

You know! time is money 😊😊❤
Thank you😊
Time is life. Money can be made if lost but time cant
Especially in our 20's we sometimes feel frustrated/ lost/ and stuck because we haven't had everything figured out. This video is such a great reminder to have fun in the messiness and dreaming of future right now. After watching this I feel even more certain about my path in Life Coaching, and taking risks and putting myself out there. Thank you so much for this Aileen 🥰💜
This topic was a little different but I'm grateful for the positive response! Pls share this w/ anyone who would appreciate it! 💜
P.S. Read the description for my deeper thoughts & reminder about life.
This touched my heart. I almost cried. I just recently turned 24 and I needed to hear this. ❤️❤️❤️ love how you closed you closed the video
This is one of my fav videos so far, love you a lot aileen 💖💖
Aileen I know your channel from my 20 ♥️✨Always inspiring 😘Love you 😘😘Life changing ✨🔥
I think you should make this kind of videos as your podcast, instead of having guest over. I would prefer to hear stuff like this, and your other TH-cam videos.
Your Videos are really GOOOD!! You confirm and sum up what I had like ideas but loose a little bit in the way in every Day life..! Thank you and your videos are motivated.! And clear! huge
I get chills thinking of how blessed I am 💜
Share your happiness with a stranger, your smile will brighten many people’s day♥️♥️
Me too sis!💙
This is so necessary, I am turning 23 in June, sometimes I am so bound up in problems, worries, fears, stresses, school, planning my future and pursuing my dreams that I take a lot of things for granted. This is an excellent reminder.
Also I started investing last year, I am so happy I am learning more about my finances at this age! Now I just need to travel more.
Thank you for this because in seven years I will be where you are and I know it sounds like a long time but time does move fast. I am so grateful that I found your channel, you have taught me so much! I love you❤ and will continue to pray for Wilson 💞
thank you love ❤️
I cried though this whole video for some reason, in happiness, because I needed this. I love you! Thank you!
Thank you for the reminder about parents. I lost my dad when I was 15 years old and now, at 27, there are so many questions I wish I could have asked him. There are so many things I'll never know about him. Every day I think of something new I wish I could ask. I wish I spent more time with him when he was here. Hug your parents today, if you can.
😭❤️
“You don’t have things figured out” I think this really hit home 😭my contract for my internship is about to end, and I’m so scared so anxious. I just feel so much pressure to have everything together....I forgot I actually have so many options, that I should be taking risks...so that I can reach my biggest potential 😭❤️ wow thank you you just made me feel so much better.
I know the feeling!! don’t stress, you got this 🙏🏼✨ enjoy the openness of life right now!
You've got this!!! Stay strong!!😊💪
I just turned 30 and relate to this so much! Turning 30 has really made me stop and reflect on my life up to this point and I'm so excited to see what I can create and attract into my life in this new decade!
Definitely it is. The first month of the year taught us a lot of life lessons.
1. Love the nature( Bush fires, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions)
2. Love our family ( Kobe Bryant and her daughter’s ttagedy)
3. Love yourself( Novel Corona Virus Outbreak)
4. Love others (helping the volcanic eruption and bush gire victims)
5. Love God ( Prayer and trusting God)
Thank you Aileen! It’s not too late for me and I’m still in 26. Please continue inspiring us. We love you! ❤️
*Gratitude is my attitude! Anybody else feel? Thank you, Aileen!*
My parents mentally, physically and emotionally abused me from when I was up to 5 til 18 they put me through traumatizing events, my dad sexually harassed me when I was 14 they still belittle me and bully me because they are narcissistic. I don't believe blood is thicker than water. Respect is thicker than water. Like a lady said on one of your early podcast episodes
I agree with everything else though 😊 I love your channel and podcast because they really do inspire me to improve myself and my life even as a dandelion child who understand what TRUE pain feels like.
I’m so sorry for your experience 💔 we all have a different situation so in your case I totally understand. Yes respect is key 🙏🏼 Grateful you’re here!
I am sooo sorry for your experience... I can't imagine that happening to anyone it must have been horrible more than anything. I wish you all the best in your life 🙏😭❤ !
You’re so strong! ✨
I'd hug you if I could. Every state/country is different regarding time (if the time expired) but don't be afraid to speak up regarding what happened especially if they haven't changed or care about what they did. I'm glad you're inspired, and I pray you will be successful and happy. 🤗💜
Aileen, this post makes my eyes water.. I feel like crying right now.
I have always had this thought in my head about life aging and how our friends, parents and we ourselves are all growing older. And knowing that the only thing that truly matters are our family and friends. I feel like crying cuz at 26 it quit on me as if I'm in 40s because I have not been acceptance of people in my life. Thanks for this video, I needed it for my new life/decade.
This has changed a lot about my perception of life. I am almost 2 months into my 20th year and I am glad I found this when I did. Thank you so much!!!💕😊
I sooooooooo love it! I'm turning 28 this year, wow I feel this, life is now let's live it at it's full. Thank you for this amazing video!!
My dad and I always have deep, meaningful conversations when we’re driving long distances
Wow I just turned 29 this month. I needed this! This resonated with me so much, You’re amazing, thank you for this. Love and light.✨
As a twenty one year old, you have shared something important thank you sis
The part you say about parents is so important. I'd also add healing in there, heal your mental health from childhood trauma if there is any. Trauma is stored in the body and the earlier you dig deep into your mind and solve/change stuff, the better. Also learning to forgive. I'm only 21, but currently learning so much about this area of life. If anyone reading this has a bad relationship w their parents or family, work on forgiveness to rid yourself of that burden. Forgiving doesn't mean forgetting.
Oh, and talk to your family about not just their life but also their health and end-of-life topics. That way you know what decisions to make once they might get very sick (also ask them to make a living will, so you don't have to decide in life-or-death hospital situations).
And adding to investing early: Insurances. Figure out which ones are truly important and take advantage of how cheap most of them are when you start them in your early 20s. If I wasn't currently studying and without income I would instantly jump on that opportunity.
It just so calming listening to how Aileen elaborate every point,, thank you so much
Thank you for the advise and impact! You’re a huge inspiration for me. Even though I’m only 17 I fell like my life will have a major shift this year since I will graduate this summer. So the imagination of being in my 20s is both scary and exciting. I think the key to enjoying you’re 20s is to be present and living in the moment~
Never clicked something so fast before, you really changed my life by all the things and the positivity you've spread in your videos❤️
❤️❤️
Much love from Kenya 🇰🇪.
This was so enlightening!
The advice about travel is so useful! I want to travel to so many different places, especially with my family and I love seeing the clips of all the different places you've been to!
All of the points you mentioned ring so true! Love the points on investing in yourself and upskilling early when you have the energy to do so😊
I am 24 now and I am binge watching your videos. You have a very calming vibe and it reverberates to me. You are amazing !
Portuguese, Spanish, French & Vietnamese subtitles are available! Click "CC" and check the video settings. Thank you to the contributors listed in the description 💕
Im 21 and I literally forget to have fun sometimes amidst career pressure . But this video made me feel so fresh and happy. Soo much thankful to her😍
What a great topic. I sure wish I could have watched a video like this in my 20's;) Wonderful video, Thank you, Cheers!
This is the most important video i've seen in my life so far. It's like you just gave a summary about life! Its crazy how time really goes by so fast and we get to experience so many things as we grow older towards our dying ages. I do agree with you that its sounds crazy but its the fact about life itself. Am curently 23 and seeing this just gave me a better way to see life and experience it instaed of just being stressed cz of lack of money or experience about life. You just changed my life and i will forever be grateful and remember you for this!
Thank you Aileen.
❤
entering 20 this year is so so so incredibly daunting 🥺 thank you for putting my mind and heart at ease to try and be the best I can in my youth 🥰
Thank you for this video Aileen! I appreciate that you shared this! It's nice to remind that! ❤️
This video was on point! I am in my 30’s and TIME is so important! Always remaining teachable is another!! Thanks for the video!
Thank you Alin , you are right time is gold!
Such a beautiful reminder. Thanks Aileen
Thanks Aileen!! i love the knowledge you shared for us❤
Such a beautiful message. Thank you so much for all your input on this channel!
Aileen, thank you so much! Your videos really helped me a lot towards my self growth journey. After a year, I'm slowly but consistently growing by applying your outlooks in life. It's so amazing! I couldn't be more thankful enough to share how happy I am towards my life right now. Indeed, life is what you make of it so better enjoy it!
Thank you so much for this video Aileen!! Every point you made struck me because I've been putting off traveling, reconnecting with my friends and parents, and everything else because I don't have a job yet, and this video made me realize that taking risks is good, and you can always find a way to do what you want to do, and to never take things for granted.
Thank you... I'll stop crying and call my parents because I miss them so much
Your so amazing 💕🙏✨ thank you for being you and sharing with us .
I am so happy to find your channel during quarantine. I realized this is personally a great time for me to be more in touch with myself and the more quiet side of life in general. Thank you for this ❤️
One thing I took for granted for a few years was the youth of my skin! It’s so so important to wash and moisturize your face every day and night.
Oh yeah I’m alll about skincare now more than ever
This is an amazing video 👏🏻👏🏻 amazing work-- great to hear someone talk about this
I'm 21 now and I'm so grateful for this video. This is so much helpful for my life. Thank you
I was inspired to open a SEP IRA after watching this! 😂Thanks, Aileen!
Haha amazing!! 💪🏼
You are truly a blessing for making this kind of content and sharing your wisdom. 😊
Something I didn't know I needed to hear 💗👍 Thank you sooo much for these tips
Thank you ! I needed this and now I'm in tears
why did I watched only now?!✨🤧 I was a year late but, I’m thankful for a youtuber like you. Stay healthy to you and each and every one of us to live our best life💞🙌🏻
Very nice message ! Thanks for sharing this.
I love this video, Aileen! I've been working on my gratitude so much lately and health is part of my daily gratitude list.
Thank you for this video. It is useful to be reminded the value of time.
I love this video so much ❤️Thank you for your sharing ❤️
I love this so much Aileen :'( Thank you for reminding me that it's okay to enjoy my 20s 💕
watching this 8months late i must say this has lessened my anxieties about figuring my life out after I have graduated. Thank you very much.
This is so refreshing Aileen. I am 23 now, and I really value my time. Thanks for reminding me again about this.
Thank you, I needed those words. I'm scared of starting things I wanted to do things that put excitement and fear on me. I see people who can express they're selves they're words making impact while I am stuck trying to figure out where and how to start. But just like what you've said Just Start! Eventually things will go into place, risk is always present but along the way we'll have some wins and lessons to learned.
Oh my God! Each and every point is so true! I feel it every now and then. This is so eye opening.
Thank you for this timely and lovely video, Aileen!
Thank you for sharing such valuable information ❤️
I am so glad I chanced upon this channel. The topics of your videos are so relatable, simple and makes a person ponder. Your voice is so calming and beautiful. Thank you for spreading such positivity! Much love!
This is great !!! I definitely agree with everything in the video. Well said 👌👌
I find so great that you take your time to put eng subs. It's really lovely of you, and help us - non english native speakers - to make sure we get the message you are sharing. Thank you.

Such a beautiful message that I needed to hear today. Thank you! 💛💛
I am in early 20s ..I am frustrated..stuck.. worrying about future ..but now you give me so much light and inspiration..Thank you dear for sharing your experience and your thoughts.. You enlightened me..
Thank you so much for this, at 21 now and I really need to hear this. Sometimes I feel like I didn't live to the fullest or as energetic as I should be when I'm this young. Thanks for reminding me about all of the things I should be so grateful for and take advantage of. Love you!
Love you and your content everything you said is so accurate 👌👌 and so helpful 💕
This is a wonderful video, worth every second of the watch. Thank you so much!
This topic was actually inspired to me, thanks
As you always say gratitude is the key into confortable life
Love this video so much. I'm turning 30 soon. Totally could relate with the nine things you've mentioned. Life's too short, live fully.
Loved this video! You have so much wisdom for your age. At 29 I began seeing life differently and making decisions in a new way. I would add that in your 20s try to trust your inner voice more and worry less about outside noise, specifically voices that do not encourage your dreams and goals. Thanks again for all your hard work and inspiration.
agreed!
Im 23 and watching ur video each day has become a part of my daily routine ..you are so energetic and peaceful .. ❤️❤️❤️
This makes me feel better and truly inpired! Thank you🖤💜
thank you so much for this video ):
Your speech is really heart-touching💜
Loved this!! Life is like a vapor, here for a little while ❤️ I tell my family and my children, Life and Time is precious and it's out choice to live it in a way that when we look back, we smile and tell ourselves, I really used my time wisely and did what I Loved! Live life to the fullest guys!
PS: I turned 29 in October as well ❤️
Thank you for these lessons. I'm really grateful that I've been following you through years and now got to learn about how to live my 20s. I'm turning 20 in one month and I was anxious and unsure about how it's gonna turn out to be. But because of your wise words I've now gotten a fresh start. Your videos are truly life changing. Thank you once again! 🌻💜
really loved it! I turn 21 this year and I've been thinking so much recently about career and all that sort of jazz. it was nice to hear your take on it from the other side
Thank you for this. Really love your channel. I've been learning a lot.
Hi loves! Thank you for the content of your vlogsss 💞 You inspired me , you lift me up right now cuz I'm frustrated about myself and my life right now
I turned 20 in October 2019 and I swear I was looking for something like this because back in my mind I knew that I wanted someone to tell me all this. And you did. Thank you, thank you so much.
All of the stuff you talked about made so much sense for me, some hit me way too hard. I needed that.
Thank you so much. ♥️
i love this video, your voice is so calming.it made me feel more positive about my 20s!
This. Is. So. Important! Thank you 🙏🏼
