Although one typically needs a burning desire to complete a challenging project, desires are fickle and change over time. When I was 15 my burning desire was to play baseball for the New York Yankees. It didn’t happen. When it became clear that my talents were not sufficient to play MLB, I reformulated my intention. My burning desire became to study at Oxford. It didn’t happen overnight, but I did eventually earn my degree from Oxford. In the process of selecting one’s desires, one would be well advised to measure desires against natural talents. And, to keep in mind that some talents are not evident in one’s adolescence or twenties.
I have to say....you are a very interesting person!!! Lived as an expat for numerous years, speak numerous languages...and what you said in this video resonates because it is ABSOLUTELY true. I feel blessed to have come across your videos. Thank you so much.
"If you want something you've never had, then you must do something you've never done" comes quickly to mind. Timeless advice, Andrew. Cheers from Thailand, awaiting that call :)
Hello Andrew, I only want to say Thank you. In the last 6 Weeeks I watched almost your whole channel, I got and read your Book from Amazon and read lots of articles in your Website trying to get all the information possible in order to make my plan.. I also tried to work with you directly because I know that you know a lot more than what you say but it seems you are working only with people from USA, Australia etc. Personally I still want to work with you but if I can´t... I only want to say thank you very much for helping me to create my plan to be a Nomad out of my Home Country.
Andrew...You have been blessed with a special kind of positive wisdom...especially at your age. Right now, at my age of 74, I think of things I would like to do, and things I didn't do. I tell others, (especially others my age) our clock is ticking away. We are in the "November" of our lives. Are we where we want to be, right now? If not, what can we do about it? Andrew says we have to choose. If we don't choose, we will be living in a "default" mode until we die.
This is great advice not only for people who claim they want the nomad capitalist life, but for anyone who claims to have a desire to make any major life change.
Andrew, you seriously are an inspiration to me, man. You literally live the life I would really like to have. I WANT A HOUSE IN MONTENEGRO. Those condos are seriously the most beautiful condos I have ever seen in my life. They are literally everything that I could want in a home. That is my goal. I want to own at least a quarter million dollar condo in Budva. Andrew...you're awesome.
agree with most of what you said. have been a digital nomad/nomad capitalist for the last 10 years and those were the best years of my life. dont have to pay tax anywhere but still give a lot to local charity. and spend a lot of my extra time to make the country where i live in better.
Diving deep down inside yourself and asking why you want something and asking it more times is the way to go in everything in life. It's often painful mentally and spiritually but without it very little in your life will ever improve. I know it first hand struggling for years and slowly making progress. Andrew is absolutely on point
Too many people have issues of stepping out of the box! (What if it doesn't work etc)? Money isn't everything, set small goals and take baby steps to achieve greatness!
You are a smart man Andrew. I am 72 y.o. and I still do not know what I want in life. When I was in my 20's I was sure I know everything, now, I am not so sure.
Yeah so many times I’ve heard, “I wish I could do that.” I would always say , “then do.” And the other person would usually look at me like I was crazy, or ask if I wasn’t afraid of not having a job when I got back. A job! Like I would not live my life for fear of a some point being between jobs? That was just long term travel though. Now that I’m considering giving up citizenship I’m realizing I would rather pay the 20% cap gains taxes but be near my family, now that I’ve finally moved back after decades away from them. Sometimes going where you’re treated best winds up being your mother’s house.
This is probably the most important video I watched (and I’ve watched a lot of Andrew’s videos now) from Nomad Capitalist. Some decisions will cost a lot like throwing thousands down the bin. Thanks for this video Andrew. This will always be relevant for generations to come.
Andrew... I've watched so many of your videos these last couple of weeks, but this one is truly priceless! So grateful for all the learning I've had from you... Far more than any books, blogs or videos. You've had a deep impact on the way i look at the world, and where its going. Thank you, thank you! 🙏 P. S. "Dont move your assets, move your a$$" .. Hahaha...this has to be the second best tagline for your channel (after GWYTB).... You should consider trademarking this too 😂
Hello Andrew. This is the most powerful video of yours I have yet seen. I love straight talks from the mind and heart. It is so true. Everyone on that path will one day question their decision. I have had my doubts. But if the "why" is strong enough, it would put some wind in your sail. The WHY is the most important question to answer before setting out. Thanks
Thank you again for your ''self-reflection' videos. We must think about these questions every once in a while. Sometimes people just don't want the inconvenience of having to make difficult decisions---like moving or saying 'no' to others and facing their comments or rejection. Being a Nomad Capitalist isn't for sissies, that's for sure!!! Keep up the great work.
Andrew, Of all the hundreds of videos of yours I have seen, this kind of mentoring is priceless. Appreciate you. I have alot to do and alot to get past to break through and you are spot on. Thank you for what you do and more so who you are! Cheers...
Thanks Andrew!! This advice applies to everything. Figuring out what you really want is more difficult than it seems. Follow your heart & sample the buffet of life.
Your company has literally changed my life! You make so much sense and are so inspiring. Thank you for doing what you do. I'm working toward my dreams, and desires. Through all of my experience I would like to contribute to helping improve businesses, people , communities, for that matter upgrade their training processess, through thoughtful and here training techniques, in order to allow the outcome to positively affect the staffs wellbeing which essentially overall affects the bussiness's or people as a whole. Big wishes, I know, but I already see this motion in movement everywhere here and it is so inspiring. Thank you for expressing your thoughts and allowing me to relate to your like mind.
Your videos are amazing -- have not known this before my lucky day coming across this channel, after I have attended a few days meeting. What a great video is this. What you are sharing with us in this video, is fundamental. I am so grateful
A powerful advice indeed. It took me more than a decade to realize what's really important to me, and I'm still figuring it out. We take our mind for granted, and then it pulls the handbrake on us!
I've found that it's not that helpful to tell someone that if they want x, but they don't do y, then they don't really want it. It could guilt or shame the odd person into jumping into action, but it doesn't get to the core motivation and sift through the chaff of excuses. I do something called repeating questions. It's helpful if someone does this with you-- to sit down for 10 minutes with you (some people do it for an hour or more if they're really seeking enlightenment) and they ask you a previously agreed-upon question like, "why don't you pick up and move to your dream country?". Wait for an answer, take a breath, thank them (without reacting to the answer), then ask them again. And again. Repeat. It's like peeling back the layers of consciousness in a very safe and non-judgmental setting. It's so interesting what people discover about themselves after they've exhausted what they think are their only reasons.
It’s really about opening one’s mind and not following the herd and what most people do and think. To stick to who we really are deep down and what we really want is key to happiness, and this should remain our goal. Often, being stuck in a given society will prevent that. Thanks for bringing this up. For some, @Nomad Capitalist might be the key.
Great video, Andrew. I’m the type of person that needs to balance my desire for freedom with my desire for security and familiarity ... I hate traveling to new places and could never handle your lifestyle (nor anything close to how you live). Compared to me, you’re like James Bond. I want my little patch of freedom and security somewhere where the government takes less than 15% (less would be better of course, but 15% is reasonable). However, before I fantasize about traveling to some far off haven, I should get comfortable with driving four hours to visit Salt Lake City, lol. Having said that, your channel is hugely awesome and is helping me expand my thinking.
What great wisdom. Thank you so much. I really needed this today. By being brave enough to try the Nomad Capitalist life, you learned more than most people do in many decades. God Bless.
Aside from living the nomad capitalist lifestyle, I really wanna make an impact on the world, and being able to take my business to the world will be the stepping stone to that. Making an impact that will outlive myself is my goal. Thanks for this video and for the constant reminder to remember our why.
Great Video !....One really has to know themself, the dream is usually much better than the reality. My Grandmother said it Best ; " Don't think about it, just DO IT " !....Thank you for sharing the momentary downside to the Nomad Capitalist Dream....Truly appreciated....
Solid stuff! These observations can be applied to any new undertaking, but their validity will likely only be recognized by people who have taken the plunge into some new undertaking in one way or another. The folks who are too timid or have a tendency to “wimp out “as you put it are likely to never recognize the saliency of these insights. It basically boils down to “put up or shut up“, but unfortunately I think the reality is that the people who will never put up will never shut up.
It’s about priorities. And having a very strong desire. And having a situation conducive to achieving your dreams. And trade offs. And truly believing you deserve it. And knowing what is possible. And knowing what you really want.
Thank you so much for your videos Andrew! I really enjoyed you giving it to me straight and cold with this video. I've been watching your videos on and off for the past year and am making baby steps to get out of my comfort zones to eventually make that second life. I'm happy I'm getting further than where I was yesterday, but am not as happy with my expected progress. Nevertheless, I think this video really helped give me that extra push to get to the next step and apply for you help. :)
Much appreciate your honesty. It boggles my mind how westerners do not consult a good astrologer before they get married or even involved with a business partner, not to mention friends. Not necessarily to get a yes do it or not answer but more to get an understanding of what you are getting yourself into, as to some basics... Even with different locations astrology has an enormous amount to offer. Nevertheless, all the best. People, as you know usually make the decisions they need to, for better or worse, tho it more often that not takes them a long time to realize what they have gotten themselves into... I am an expat of over 30 years :-)
This is by far the best blog that I have seen you do Andrew, very open and honest, appreciated the words of coaching wisdom! Sometimes - and I mean no offense in saying this, you can come across as slightly elitist and that's not surprising considering the social circles and clients that you are a part of in everyday life. Yet, at least for me - this was the first blog that I actually watched a number of times as it resonated with me and my own experiences not only as a mid 6 figure aspirational investor but also as a person working on improving myself. Thanks for sharing your perspective and more like this please!
Another very interesting video Andrew and yet again it is very insightful. You are right, people should be honest to themselves and understand what a real commitment is. Nothing in life is easy and people wanting the Nomad Capitalist life style should be prepared for the ups and downs of it all. On a separate issue, now that the UK looks like it will be leaving the EU, could you do a video sometime about the strength of the British passport? I think it would be a very interesting video because Britain always seems to be the number 1 port of call for many people when they think of immigration.
I really appreciate your honesty...Im passing this one off to my kiddos, even though they will probably never travel as I do, they can use this advice : )
What would your advice be to someone who is not a 7 figure entrepreneur but hopes to one day be and is interested in the idea of spending a lot more time outside of their home country. In my case I believe I need to travel more as I never have left the North American cotenant. I have been to Mexico and really enjoy it there especially the people. I am single, 39 years of age and I live in Canada.
My husband and I have our life goals that we have written down and we review every month or so to keep track of our progress and to review what's changed, what we want to add to the list and what we're not interested in anymore. We had a review yesterday and have been critically analysing what is important to us and what is it that we want out of being wherever we decide to spend our time... Is being near family and friends enough to anchor us to returning to Australia? Can we get the benefits of keeping in contact with them by visiting the country regularly rather than living just down the street? There's a lot of food for thought and probably a lot more conversations to be had until we can truly understand what we want going forward.
Andrew! Go to the gym with your fiance!!!! She will really appreciate it and eventually, you'll really like it too! And you'll be healthier. Great video.
Hmm, this is like someone who is really good at math trying to teach it to someone who isn't: you don't get why it isn't fun for him because it's likely always been fun for you. I totally get what he feels like. My wife loves long distance running. I can't think of anything less interesting to me. I've tried it, I hate it, it is painful and tiring. It just reminds me of being late for the bus as a kid 😂 She still can't accept that for me it sucks, because she gets a runner's high and it isn't painful for her. People just like different things, and being honest about it to yourself and others is better than forcing it.
Hi Andrew, recently a friend recommended your channel and I find it great. Would love to hear your take on some good books to read that expanded/ influenced the way you see things
I have just recently started looking into migrating and have discovered ur videos. Thx u so much for the info u have provided and I will head over to ur website. Definitely want to migrate and investments
I just want to comment about what you said regarding Real Estate in Cambodia vs. Australia. I think you are neglecting the fact that sometimes you would prefer less returns for more stability. I am not saying go for 1% or Australia is better than Cambodia, but sometimes countries might have more returns on real estate, CDs, etc.. but the uncertainty, unstability and the level of corruption present won't make you sleep the night! I believe that you souldn't put your eggs in one basket that's for sure, but I want to also bring up a point, is that sometimes we get tired and sick of the way we are living in our home country, focusing mainly on the negatives. You were a US a citizen and got tired from the high taxes etc and moved out. I am from a country with high returns on real estate, CDs but weak and unstable economy, high level of corruption and want to move out. I believe paying more taxes for stability where you will not experience corruption might be worth it for better peace of mind. Second passports is definitely an important part of your portfolio in today's unstable world. Last but not least, I am not talking about a specific country, every country has its advantages and disadvantages but you gotta live somewhere in the end. The most important part is having plan B and even plan C & D.
Noor Alfares Those are wise words, but don’t go to the US. It’s totally corrupt, but hidden well to outsiders and newcomers. Go to NZ, Oz, Canada or Western Europe instead. No place is perfect but the US sucks.
Oh, man... That's so true... I have a C2 in four languages and I'd get people all the time saying things like: "teach me Russian" or "teach me Japanese". And at first I'd be like: "Sure, what do you want to know? ". To which I got: "I don't know, just teach me". It took me a lot of time and similar interactions (needless to say they gave up in a week or two) to understand that there was nothing I could do for these people. I guess... To each, their own.
This is extremely deep. Theres another question id like to ask... how do you change when your body seem to totally ignore what you say you want? Do you take incremental steps to change or what would be the bets method. I feel heavily programmed and I want to change but it is little hard to rip through this wiring. Would like to change that because its actually a little weirdly hard. I'm tired of this needless suffering and I feel out of control sometimes. Grateful for all of your help and everyone here watching to improve themselves. :)
FREEDOM to travel, lower taxes, living in a friendly and safe country, that is warm.
More than anything, to be left the F* alone so I can live out my life in peace.
Same here
Monaco?
Low to no taxes and not blazing hot and I can second this list. A list starting with the paramount quality is a good list.
Although one typically needs a burning desire to complete a challenging project, desires are fickle and change over time. When I was 15 my burning desire was to play baseball for the New York Yankees. It didn’t happen. When it became clear that my talents were not sufficient to play MLB, I reformulated my intention. My burning desire became to study at Oxford. It didn’t happen overnight, but I did eventually earn my degree from Oxford. In the process of selecting one’s desires, one would be well advised to measure desires against natural talents. And, to keep in mind that some talents are not evident in one’s adolescence or twenties.
Thank's Thomas for Sharing your story👏
I have to say....you are a very interesting person!!! Lived as an expat for numerous years, speak numerous languages...and what you said in this video resonates because it is ABSOLUTELY true. I feel blessed to have come across your videos. Thank you so much.
Wow, thank you!🙏
"If you want something you've never had, then you must do something you've never done" comes quickly to mind. Timeless advice, Andrew. Cheers from Thailand, awaiting that call :)
This is the first episode everyone should watch.
Hello Andrew,
I only want to say Thank you. In the last 6 Weeeks I watched almost your whole channel, I got and read your Book from Amazon and read lots of articles in your Website trying to get all the information possible in order to make my plan.. I also tried to work with you directly because I know that you know a lot more than what you say but it seems you are working only with people from USA, Australia etc. Personally I still want to work with you but if I can´t... I only want to say thank you very much for helping me to create my plan to be a Nomad out of my Home Country.
Thanks. Happy to be of help. :)
Andrew...You have been blessed with a special kind of positive wisdom...especially at your age. Right now, at my age of 74, I think of things I would like to do, and things I didn't do. I tell others, (especially others my age) our clock is ticking away. We are in the "November" of our lives. Are we where we want to be, right now? If not, what can we do about it? Andrew says we have to choose. If we don't choose, we will be living in a "default" mode until we die.
Love when Andrew gets philosophical. Wiser than his years!
As a guy in his twenties I'm thankful to have found this channel 🙏
So nice from you😊
This is great advice not only for people who claim they want the nomad capitalist life, but for anyone who claims to have a desire to make any major life change.
Thanks for inspiring me. I am just 27 and I admire all you’ve achieved and your single mindedness & focus.
Most underrated video on TH-cam. That was very insightful.
Andrew, you seriously are an inspiration to me, man. You literally live the life I would really like to have. I WANT A HOUSE IN MONTENEGRO. Those condos are seriously the most beautiful condos I have ever seen in my life. They are literally everything that I could want in a home. That is my goal. I want to own at least a quarter million dollar condo in Budva. Andrew...you're awesome.
Slater: Documented Awww, thanks 🥰 Hope to see you around Kotor Bay soon 🇲🇪
Budva, lol... Ulćinj is so much better.
agree with most of what you said. have been a digital nomad/nomad capitalist for the last 10 years and those were the best years of my life. dont have to pay tax anywhere but still give a lot to local charity. and spend a lot of my extra time to make the country where i live in better.
This is one of your best I think. Really helpful to me at the moment. Gracias.
Glad it was helpful!
@@nomadcapitalist more of this great content!
Diving deep down inside yourself and asking why you want something and asking it more times is the way to go in everything in life. It's often painful mentally and spiritually but without it very little in your life will ever improve. I know it first hand struggling for years and slowly making progress. Andrew is absolutely on point
Too many people have issues of stepping out of the box! (What if it doesn't work etc)? Money isn't everything, set small goals and take baby steps to achieve greatness!
You are a smart man Andrew. I am 72 y.o. and I still do not know what I want in life. When I was in my 20's I was sure I know everything, now, I am not so sure.
Yeah so many times I’ve heard, “I wish I could do that.” I would always say , “then do.” And the other person would usually look at me like I was crazy, or ask if I wasn’t afraid of not having a job when I got back. A job! Like I would not live my life for fear of a some point being between jobs?

P. S. "Dont move your assets, move your a$$" .. Hahaha...this has to be the second best tagline for your channel (after GWYTB).... You should consider trademarking this too 😂
A most eloquent assessment of the value of integrity
Hello Andrew. This is the most powerful video of yours I have yet seen. I love straight talks from the mind and heart. It is so true. Everyone on that path will one day question their decision.

Thanks Andrew!! This advice applies to everything. Figuring out what you really want is more difficult than it seems. Follow your heart & sample the buffet of life.
You can do it!
You have God given ability to wisely talk and explain facts which other people usually choose to ignore
Your company has literally changed my life! You make so much sense and are so inspiring. Thank you for doing what you do. I'm working toward my dreams, and desires.

Yeah, every 3 year old's favorite game of "why?" is actually really profound haha
Carl Rogers - On Becoming a Person
It’s really about opening one’s mind and not following the herd and what most people do and think. To stick to who we really are deep down and what we really want is key to happiness, and this should remain our goal.
Often, being stuck in a given society will prevent that. Thanks for bringing this up.
For some, @Nomad Capitalist might be the key.
Andrew, in some ways all your videos lead to this one. Happy I watched it after a whole bunch of other more technical ones.
Great video, Andrew. I’m the type of person that needs to balance my desire for freedom with my desire for security and familiarity ...

This video calmed my soul.
You're right. Glad you were real here. I needed to hear this as well. Who to go for advice in such matters? Not much available for mentorship for men.
Very helpful! A little honesty goes a long way in building a good mindset.
Glad it was helpful!
This video touched me perhaps more than any of your others.
Great great video Andrew THANK YOU I really needed that!!! Keep them coming
Thanks, Ray!
Congratulations on the wedding engagement!
This is by far the best blog that I have seen you do Andrew, very open and honest, appreciated the words of coaching wisdom! Sometimes - and I mean no offense in saying this, you can come across as slightly elitist and that's not surprising considering the social circles and clients that you are a part of in everyday life. Yet, at least for me - this was the first blog that I actually watched a number of times as it resonated with me and my own experiences not only as a mid 6 figure aspirational investor but also as a person working on improving myself. Thanks for sharing your perspective and more like this please!
Thanks for the straight talk. Best video I've watched in a while.
Another very interesting video Andrew and yet again it is very insightful. You are right, people should be honest to themselves and understand what a real commitment is. Nothing in life is easy and people wanting the Nomad Capitalist life style should be prepared for the ups and downs of it all.
On a separate issue, now that the UK looks like it will be leaving the EU, could you do a video sometime about the strength of the British passport? I think it would be a very interesting video because Britain always seems to be the number 1 port of call for many people when they think of immigration.
You are right on....very profound and true !!!!
I have watched this video at least 4 times now.
Love this video.
Awesome video, clears up many of my personal issues. Big fan, thanks Andrew.
You're welcome, Marc.
You are again simply Fabulous!!!
I sure appreciate your service and giving spirit!!!
I really appreciate your honesty...Im passing this one off to my kiddos, even though they will probably never travel as I do, they can use this advice : )
What you do is what you want. - so well said
LMAO “anger against the US, desire to see the world, probably something in there about women” 🤣🤣🤣 literally me right now at 21.
What would your advice be to someone who is not a 7 figure entrepreneur but hopes to one day be and is interested in the idea of spending a lot more time outside of their home country. In my case I believe I need to travel more as I never have left the North American cotenant. I have been to Mexico and really enjoy it there especially the people. I am single, 39 years of age and I live in Canada.
Great video. Well done.
Best. Video. Ever.
It's not about moving your assets it's about moving your ass. I like that. There are so many things you say Andrew that resonate with me.
knowing what you really want can be the hardest thing.
My husband and I have our life goals that we have written down and we review every month or so to keep track of our progress and to review what's changed, what we want to add to the list and what we're not interested in anymore. We had a review yesterday and have been critically analysing what is important to us and what is it that we want out of being wherever we decide to spend our time... Is being near family and friends enough to anchor us to returning to Australia? Can we get the benefits of keeping in contact with them by visiting the country regularly rather than living just down the street? There's a lot of food for thought and probably a lot more conversations to be had until we can truly understand what we want going forward.
Really great video Andrew and its unique content.
"buy a plane ticket" had me laughing dead. lololol
Timeless Mindset! Thank you!!
Best video, I've watched so far. Thank you. Hope that we will connect one day .Im about to start my journey
11:30 "I don't ask leading questions." I experience that a lot. People get uncomfortable when you dig in the slightest way.
Thanks, this is a brilliant video! Would be great to see an updated verions.
This hit hard.
I want a 2nd passport and am well on my way getting it - 9 more months.
Thanks for sharing !!!
You're welcome Antonio!
great message! This video's going in my favorites!!!
Thanks Brett!
@@nomadcapitalist yeah, thank you! Wish I had learned about all this ten years ago.
I am very far from your intended demographic yet find immense value in this !
Spot on
Peace,
Though I thought peace was just a given in a civil society. It seems I'm going to have to do a lot of work to get to a more peaceful nation.
fear is debilitating. that's why folks bail on their dreams. wimp out as you say. inertia is a drug.

Andrew! Go to the gym with your fiance!!!! She will really appreciate it and eventually, you'll really like it too! And you'll be healthier. Great video.
Hmm, this is like someone who is really good at math trying to teach it to someone who isn't: you don't get why it isn't fun for him because it's likely always been fun for you. I totally get what he feels like.
My wife loves long distance running. I can't think of anything less interesting to me. I've tried it, I hate it, it is painful and tiring. It just reminds me of being late for the bus as a kid 😂 She still can't accept that for me it sucks, because she gets a runner's high and it isn't painful for her.
People just like different things, and being honest about it to yourself and others is better than forcing it.
Can you tell how to deal with relationship as a nomad capitalist, since you mentioned that you're engaged and getting married soon?
Solid video pal
Hi Andrew, recently a friend recommended your channel and I find it great. Would love to hear your take on some good books to read that expanded/ influenced the way you see things
I have just recently started looking into migrating and have discovered ur videos. Thx u so much for the info u have provided and I will head over to ur website. Definitely want to migrate and investments
Thanks Felicia! :)
So on point with asking questions - like a close friend of mine - gets defensive when you ask direct questions.
Doing something new becomes a habit and habits become 2nd nature
Great post!
Excellent. Thank you so much.
I just want to comment about what you said regarding Real Estate in Cambodia vs. Australia. I think you are neglecting the fact that sometimes you would prefer less returns for more stability. I am not saying go for 1% or Australia is better than Cambodia, but sometimes countries might have more returns on real estate, CDs, etc.. but the uncertainty, unstability and the level of corruption present won't make you sleep the night! I believe that you souldn't put your eggs in one basket that's for sure, but I want to also bring up a point, is that sometimes we get tired and sick of the way we are living in our home country, focusing mainly on the negatives. You were a US a citizen and got tired from the high taxes etc and moved out. I am from a country with high returns on real estate, CDs but weak and unstable economy, high level of corruption and want to move out. I believe paying more taxes for stability where you will not experience corruption might be worth it for better peace of mind. Second passports is definitely an important part of your portfolio in today's unstable world. Last but not least, I am not talking about a specific country, every country has its advantages and disadvantages but you gotta live somewhere in the end. The most important part is having plan B and even plan C & D.
Noor Alfares Those are wise words, but don’t go to the US. It’s totally corrupt, but hidden well to outsiders and newcomers. Go to NZ, Oz, Canada or Western Europe instead. No place is perfect but the US sucks.
Amorphous Root I agree with you. I lived in the US for 4 years and decided it is not the best place to live either. Next destination is Canada.
Oh, man... That's so true... I have a C2 in four languages and I'd get people all the time saying things like: "teach me Russian" or "teach me Japanese". And at first I'd be like: "Sure, what do you want to know? ". To which I got: "I don't know, just teach me". It took me a lot of time and similar interactions (needless to say they gave up in a week or two) to understand that there was nothing I could do for these people. I guess... To each, their own.
This is extremely deep. Theres another question id like to ask... how do you change when your body seem to totally ignore what you say you want? Do you take incremental steps to change or what would be the bets method. I feel heavily programmed and I want to change but it is little hard to rip through this wiring. Would like to change that because its actually a little weirdly hard. I'm tired of this needless suffering and I feel out of control sometimes. Grateful for all of your help and everyone here watching to improve themselves. :)
Much love sir
