@@paengguin9381 I agree with you. A life without realistic expectations, is a life of slavery of our imagination's and social pressure. A boring life it's freedom
I also like the similar quote, "Being satisfied with what you have got, is more important than getting more of what you want." For 30 years I have built up a library of music, literally thousands of cds and vinyl, chasing up and acquiring new sounds. Then I realised that there are some records that I haven't listened to for decades. I decided to spend more time systematically going through my collection, listening to everything, at least once. I'm finding joyous treasures I always had, but barely knew. It is interesting though, that I still wrestle with the desire to buy new music.
Yeah, having any kind of life, as long as most of the time your psychological and physical needs are met, it's just fine :) I feel like you, I find happiness in simple things, and people keep telling me, what a boring life.you live, or what boring you are hahaha But, I don't mind as long as I feel good
@@badsanta7356 Why do you think, this is an excuse? Is a "boring" life automatically "bad"? Is a "boring" life something to be ashamed of? Then, what is an "exciting" life?
I struggled with alcoholism for many years (I'm in my early thirties) and decided to go sober. Got myself two cats and took several months cutting out anything that I didn't feel was necessary. Greatly simplified my life and it's pretty boring while all of my buddies doing all kinds of crazy things like getting hammered at the bars/clubs, but I couldn't be happier.
Bank and pharma owners don't want you to lead a boring life. They want you to be ambitious, eat, buy stuffs, get sick, buy medicine and die without causing much trouble to the current global "hedonistic" order.
I wish my family would understand this. They're always trying to "save" me from my life. They think I'm bored, lonely, sad, etc... But really the only problem is with people trying to change how I live. I'm perfectly content living a simple life.
Right? They keep putting this pressure of getting rich, raising a family, having a stable job, etc. It does sound nice, but ultimately, it’s a scam. Either way, it will lead to a boring life.
Thank you for this, Sena. Despite your saying that you have "...no freaking idea what I am doing with my life at the moment", you've still managed to put across a good case for the idea that what feels right for you is what is important for most individuals.
When I was 7 loved reading comic books and monster magazines and going to the drive-in. At 53,love reading comic books and monster magazines and going to the drive-in. Perfect life lived.
@@somegamer4071 Oh,I got plenty of "grow up" speeches from my parents and brother and relatives but it seemed they drank a lot and WERE NOT happy. I guess "misery loves company" would have applied. I have never drank or took drugs or anything. I just liked being an overgrown 10 year old. Reading Famous MOnsters,reading comics,going to the drive-in,collecting toys,watching all nighters of horror films,etc. I grew up in the 70 and 80s which was the perfect freedom times. I've met everyone from Jerry Seinfeld to Stephen King to Devo to Michael Caine to Tim Burton. I did a lot of living on what I made delivering pizzas and stocking shelves at grocery stores. I still wish it was like the 70s,watching everything from the Pippi movies to Candleshoe to Meatballs to Laserblast. Magical times. Drive-ins ruled the roost and late night TV was amazing. Less commercials and more movie.
I had such ambition 20 years ago. I wanted to film documentaries and inspire and make a positive impact on society. Now, I know that the general public is fucking hopeless so I am just going to relax, garden, be a positive or neutral contributor to society, and donate monthly to charity to justify my unproductive existence.
@@cellulardecay9520I really needed this comment. It’s crazy how much validation we need as humans to do something we find strange - your comment really did a lot for me. I thought it was strange that I don’t like going outside anymore.
You are wise beyond your years. I’m also happy leading a “boring” life. Now that I’m retired, people ask me what I do all day. I always reply, “Whatever I want to do.” Usually I just read, cook, enjoy my pugs & family, go for walk-all simple things. Although I’m sorry about the whole pandemic & its atrocious effects on the world, I have had no trouble adjusting to being at home. It’s a gift to be content with oneself. Best wishes to you!
Vivian, I am in the same situation in life. Retirement is good but I get tired of answering the same questions. Actually, having retired just 5 years ago, I had planned to return to Tokyo just before the pandemic to do some photography and then spend some time in Thailand and Vietnam... So, I feel trapped in an alternate lifestyle for now.
@@bryancole842 Bryan, I’m sorry you’re somewhat in limbo given the pandemic’s interruption of your travel & photography plans. Hang in there. Things are bound to get better.
I’m so happy to watch this. I’m “boring”. I enjoy the things around me, rather than rushing around trying to find the next big thing. I don’t care who doesn’t like it. I’m content with myself enough to travel alone, go to concerts alone, and invite friends if I want to. It’s only when I try to accommodate someone else’s wishes to be exciting, is when I feel anxiety.
I feel the same way. I love being at home, hanging out with my dogs doing what I want. I feel much more stressed out when others pressure me to "join the party" when I'd rather not.
Exactly, i feel like it's only when there are other ppl involved, who are not on the same page and try to project and demand, that being yourself is a problem. Only when I compare or feel pressured and "threatened" caused by external factors, my choices and character make me feel bad and become an issue. My person and life itself are not problematic or bad or less worthy or what not.
I like taking care of my plants and spending time with them, I like youtube, I like meaningful conversations with anyone, my meditation times, music, long morning walks, cooking, I like books too and research papers.
I've been working a lot on this with my therapist over the past six months. The fact that many people around my age are having similar realizations all around the world gives me hope that maybe, sometime soon we will all be more relaxed and happier than we pretend to be right now.
@@ChineduOpara very true, but there's one problem - young people, while all of this can be easily understood by 30+, the target of that are young people / children. How to save them ? They're very destructive in their life view.
You are fortunate to have come to this realization at a relatively young age. I spent decades wondering why I was 'different', and doing things others thought were fabulous fun was mentally exhausting. A quiet day at home with my family is heaven to me. I have drastically cut the time I spend on social media (even youtube!) and am working toward building a life of MY dreams.
I always thought there was something wrong with me too, because i never seemed to like the same things as others. Now im nearly 70 and ive finally realized that being different is not bad at all.
This pandemic where everyday I heard death news of people around me, really make me to badly enjoy the current moments because we don't know what might happen to us in the next second.
Thats exactly how I feel too. Life is not boring if you find joy from the small things and moments. Everything else feels so consuming. Sure it’s important to work on something you love.
In my 20s I spent all my time on road trips, skateboarding, exciting hobbies, social media, friends, wanting to be noticed. By 28 I was uneducated, unemployed, $25k in debt, and frustrated. In my 30s I've stayed home and studied, found a high-paying consistent job, paid off all my debt, moved into a nice house, and save 50% of my income. At 33, life is simple and I'm happiest I've ever been.
That's great. I'm 19 and not interested in the conventional, vain things that society and others pressure me to pursue, and just want to live a simple life instead. I've always been a loner so am less susceptible to societal influence. I guess it's a blessing because it led me to figure out what truly makes me happy.
I needed to hear this comment. I’m 27, about to turn 28 and for the last 5 years I’ve been chasing the aforementioned life you described. I mean everything, skateboarding,music festivals, traveling, friends, hobbies.. but I can’t lie and say I’m starting to feel the slow life more appealing
@@mxbvibes good stuff, do what feels right. i just turned 36 now, income almost doubled since my last comment. Bought a house, paid off car, almost done with my degree. Life is still very simple but I started skateboarding again and its much more fun now. I can afford new boards and skate shoes often, trips to new places to skate... and I'm a better skater than I ever was because my mind is clear and stress level very low. what I'm realizing now is that there are many many years ahead of us to do anything we want, and its much more fun when life is stable. there's no age limit if you eat right, every week I'm learning tricks I never would have dreamed of in my 20s
I agree with every word, it's such a joy to have these words expressed so perfectly. I love my boring life too - I'm so grateful to eat well, enjoy good books, TH-cam, painting and my small family. I love my home and don't want any adventures :)
I love the quote: "Might contribute to someone being wealthy ... environment, right family, who you meet, and luck play a huge role." It appears he believes that outcome has a lot to do with other stuff we can't always control. Finally someone who realizes that we can not control everything!!!!
I wish I had this wisdom when I was in my 20s. As I got older, I find greater joy in having a non-drama, simple life and spend more time at home rather than going out. Im also lucky that my spouse also embraces this kind of lifestyle (even though we live in the Bay Area California).
Great video. People find it weird when I tell them I'm not on IG, facebook, etc. I never found interest in connecting that way. I am totally fine living a humble and happy life off grid.
Thank you so much for making this video. I am 19 years old and currently a senior in university( i started at 15) and everyone around me including my family berates me for living a simple life. I don't smoke, drink, haven't been to any party even though that's what most people think college students should be doing. My hobbies are reading and doing crafts like embroidery. I like how my life is and I genuinely have so much fun doing my hobbies but people think I am lying to cover up loneliness. I aspire to live a happy life, I don't want to live a life I'll regret when I'm older due to being pressured by society. Life is short so I want to have no little regrets when I die. why live your own life trying to please other people who aren't content with themselves and will never be content with you.
Do what you want in life, it is your life. Living a simple life and being content is great, Just make sure you plan your finances so you would be able to sustain your simple lifestyle for life and tell people to leave you alone as you are already set for life financially.
The past few years, I have done a flip flop with my life, friends and self respect. I love a simple, "boring" life. Never felt better to do this. Before I always felt like a ragdoll, having to appease everyone. Thanks for this video.
I feel this. I love being at home, and there's really no other place that is better, although I like being in nature a lot too. I'd rather stay at home and play instruments or learn about many different subjects that fascinate me, than go to a party or something of that nature. I just found your channel, and I love how down to earth and pleasant you seem. :)
Yes I agree. As an introvert I'm very happy being home and enjoying my simple hobbies and totally at peace. If there's too much chaos I get too stressed and need to come home to recharge and unwind. 😊
Me too. No drama, no stress. I love my home, it is where the heart is. I own my house outright in California(paid it off in 15 yrs), I have 2 paid-off cars. I retired a 38 and debt-free. I have 3 solid monthly income streams until I die. Life is good. No alarm clocks, no deadlines, No planner, just a calendar to keep track of my medical/dental appts and other events to stay a bit active. There are so many things to do in life OUTSIDE of the rat race to nowhere. LOL.
Dear Sena i'am 77 year leaving alone in Amsterdam. ( Moeder ziel),it's means i have nobody in this world!!! But i learn much about your life story. ThankU Sena. 😍👍🙏
I'm sorry you feel you have no one in the world, though I think we have all experienced the same feeling from time-to-time. Do you not have any family left? Still, you have a friend in the U.S. if you ever feel the need. What does moederziel alleen mean?
Cheers to anyone that chooses to live an ordinary life with meaning, purpose and servitude to self and others. Boring is not a "bore" when it is intentional. Achieving for better by means of acquiring material wealth is a social construct. While living with only the basics is challenging it offers a wide array of lessons that is life-changing.
As long as I have my Folgers Breakfast blend coffee, I’m happy! I don’t need much of anything else to be happy. I used to be the one who had to be in the middle of everything-always feeling I was missing out in life. Those years were the most miserable for me. Once I decided to be content in my life with the simple things, I found so much peace. I’m in my late 40s, and those restless years were my late teens into my 20s..but as I got older, my ideas of happiness changed. It changed to peace, simple and love those who love u back.
This is so true!! I'ts funny though because on one hand I'm jealous of them and on the other, sometimes I wish they too had at least a little self awareness and maybe they will be more able to put themselves in somebody else's shoes.
finally someone said it! I never felt validated until I saw this. thank you so much! I'm not against people living their life to the fullest, like good for yall. but I decide to live a mediocre life so that I can take care of myself more. I rejected job promotion and stay in current position because I dont want more work, I want more time for myself. That's all. :)
Excellent video. I wouldn't call it "boring life", I would call it a reflective life, you are a sane person who knows why you do things. It's a great truth, we don't have to follow the pattern imposed by companies and traditional social structures, it's not easy for people to understand it, the person should matter more. Your videos are an inspiration and that already makes your life incredible for me. Greetings from México.
I have a house by the beach, and it is just me and my dog. We introverts live a no drama stress less peaceful life………and I wouldn’t change it for anything.
Sena is a rare soul among the Japanese people. Japanese culture is actually very cutthroat and citizens are expected to get a good job, graduate from uni, study hard and get a good partner etc. Doing things outside of these accepted societal normalities are scrutinized and looked down upon by others.
Having a good night sleep, and being able to see the sun next day is good enough for me. I love your insights. And I am sure, you're happy. Inside out.
Some people might be able to relate to this, but I also feel like hanging out with a lot of "friends" and going out/ to parties all the time is just a waste of time. Nothing substantive good comes out of that process other than "ok I just spent time with a lot of people." Hence, as an introvert, I also really enjoy being away from people and living a "boring, ordinary" no drama life.
Absolutely! Hanging out with people is a hugely overrated experience, often miserable for introverts. The small talk is draining and even alienating... I'd rather have no discussions with anybody than such shallow discussions as those you have with large groups of people.
I did all the partying in my 20s and early 30s then I stopped doing it because I almost became an alcoholic and I was spending too much money. Now, I prefer to stay home and host a house party once in a blue moon. I own my house outright in California(paid it off in 15 yrs), I have 2 paid-off cars. I retired a 38 and debt-free. I have 3 solid monthly income streams until I die. Life is good. No alarm clocks, no deadlines, No planner, just a calendar to keep track of my medical/dental appts and other events to stay a bit active. There are so many things to do in life OUTSIDE of the rat race to nowhere. Ahhhh, peace/quiet is the best! LOL.
Yes! Absolutely. When I was younger, I lived a very stressful life. Finally, when I was around 40 years old I had enough. I knew that life must be simple and not this crazy bombardment of 'shoulds,' 'have-tos.' and 'suppossed-tos' that greater society tries to put on our shoulders. It's insane. Since then, I've slowly been simplifying my life as much as possible, especially with my own mind and the way I think of people, things, and life. If my mind is clear and open, with the least amount of biases or strong opinions then I can let a lot of what stresses people out just flow through me and out of me. I'm not so extreme that I don't have an opinion on anything. I don't like mushrooms or water chestnuts, and I love strong coffee and writing. And I prefer letting my life flow as it will rather than pushing so hard to make things happen that I end up stressed out and feeling miserable. Over the past few years, I've found out how to let this natural flow of being help me get rid of some bad habits. I used to abuse alcohol, but now I don't have much of a taste for it. I will drink occasionally with family, but won't want very much. I didn't make myself stop drinking. I just naturally stopped because I had other things I wanted to do, like reading, studying new subjects and learning new things. I'm very close to quitting smoking cigarettes, too. I used to smoke a pack (20 cigarettes) per day, but now I smoke around 4 to 8 cigarettes per day. Again, I didn't make myself do it. I stopped paying attention to how much I was smoking and stopped stressing myself out about quitting. "It isn't a big deal," I tell myself, "because I don't like smoking, so the cravings and habit will go away, just like my taste for alcohol went away." I don't worry. I focus on doing the things I enjoy and want to do so I can help other people. I've found that the only thing that really takes our happiness away is trying to live up to other people's expectations of us. We only need to live up to our own expectations of ourselves. That's what life is. It's very simple. Our natural desires and dislikes will keep us on our right path, as long as we are able to ignore other people and their blind judgments of us. Thank you for this wonderful video. Now that I know the meaning of life, I need to solve the mystery of why the people who think a lot like I do always live so far away from me. This is the first video of yours that I've watched. I think I will watch more of them now. Take great care & I will do my best to keep up with your videos.
My simple life motto would be to work hard , be true to yourself and help other people around you when needed. Thanks for making this video. Your life is a privilege bcoz you enjoy doing what you like, it is never a boring life. I enjoy playing games and that is one part of my life. 😎
I felt this video helped me out more than talking to my therapist. Thanks for making it. I've been telling myself lately "live happy and die happy" should be our common goal, after all we can't live forever. One of my favorite quotes to live by "We suffer more often in our imagination than in reality".. And I liked yours when you said "if we can't be happy now, how will we be happy in the future?" And that people who are happy don't really have to show it...
I love this video. This is how I have been living my life and it makes me so calm. I don't want to try to be an executive or run my own business. I just want to make enough money to look after myself and my family and enjoy the rest of my time. Even if the way I enjoy my time isn't productive or new.
I resonate with soooo many parts of this video. Literally so, so so many. I'm so relieved to know there are people just like me out there as well, who want to seek the beautiful in the so-called "ordinary." Thanks for such a lovely video, can't wait to watch more :)
@Rodolphe Egerton you must be pretty self-absorbed to not understand that i was, in fact, mocking _you._ but let's put all that aside for a minute: are you ok, man? what does it mean to be "alienated" for you?
@Rodolphe Egerton for a lot of girls, they can do that. same for certain guys. but i think you understand that it's not the reality for a lot of people - people so plain that they're not even the ones who come to mind when you think any girl can get attention any time. frankly, i'm talking about overweight people or those of a certain ethnic background, etc. if you spend all your time looking for evidence that men are oppressed, you'll surely find it - just like how if women look only for evidence that they are oppressed, there's a long list for that, too. the more important question is: is finding all this information really helping you get to where you want to be? you can be right about all these facts why men can't do what they want to do, but the information isn't going to help you. to get a better answer, you have to ask a better question
Riding even know this mindset was a thing with people. I just started to enjoy the simple!e things in life. My favourite thing to do is watch clouds. I get this "wow" feeling every time
As a 28 year old I still don't know what I'm doing. I still find myself comparing my life to others. I feel like I need to go out to the bars to have a "fun life" even tho I don't enjoy going there. But now as I slowly realize that it's okay to be alone and not forcing myself to go things that I don't like. Sometimes it's okay to stay home and game with the online boys. I enjoy the simplest things such as hiking with my dog, biking to explore the city, hooping, and most of all I can train and watch my racing pigeons fly all day.
I feel like this too sometimes. I'm 28 and still live at home. Didn't live on campus all throughout college, never been to a nightclub, never traveled extensively (I don't have the money to get on a plane and go to Europe. And even if I did I don't know who I would go with lol). Many times people have told me I need to get out more or some variation of that. At the end of the day other people's opinions don't matter. You have to do what makes you happy. Don't go to a bar if you feel like that environment is not your thing. Many people are too judgemental nowadays, and more often than not they have their own issues to resolve, so that's even more reason to disregard them.
@@dreamcollector6811 for sure, lol I just moved back with my mom too after living with my friends for 2 years. It was fun hosting hangouts but having to clean up the mess weekend after weekend gets old quick. I find myself wanting more peace and quite the older I get. Would I live with my boys again, probably not but do I regret moving with them, no. It was a good experience. Lol when I was in my teens I thought I knew everything about life and fast forward, what am I doing. Lol life is funny.
I appreciated listening to your video. I needed a good reminder that my ordinary life is just fine. I’m most content when I’m mindfully living with intention while being grateful for the opportunity to do so.
Thanks for this video! You’re so right - we are completely and utterly surrounded by ideas of what we should be doing and what we should enjoy. Being authentic is a sure fire way of developing our confidence.
Thanks for sharing your "boring life", Sena. For me it is not such a boring life as you defined. Being happy with what you are having and who you truly are, being yourself.
The joy I get simply viewing my garden, watching the birds and the bugs and the other little critters run about enjoying what I helped create, is greater than pleasure that has been thrown in my face trying to get me to chase it. Being a gardener is new to me, a result of covid. It slowed me down, and now I cherish the "boring" life. A life where I remain in the now, enjoying creation like a song or a dance, not a journey to get through. It is peace.
First of all, thank YOU so much for expressing this true message. Im so proud of you. I need to practice liking my simple “boring” life because my problem is - i miss my life that was busier (even tho i was so stressed and it was manifesting in awful ways). Hey, im on the right path i know. Thanks for this boost.
This is amazing. This is me. Very basic but feeling guilty at times for not being out there. This is just me and you are right about deciding this is how I want to live my life. Big hugs to you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely love this video and message!! We need more of this exact message! ❤️ love your accent !! 😊 So fantastic to hear how down to earth, humble and grateful you are to others!!
Great insight Sena! Living "in the moment" is the ZEN WAY! Living that "compare yourself to others" doesn't bring happiness. Besides, happiness is a fleeting emotion that cannot be sustained! In my humble experience "Contentedness" is a more sustained feeling and is achieved through simple living and a focus on 3 things that are highly intertwined: your health, relationships with your self and others, and nature. I just subbed and am looking forward to more of your videos!
@6:20 -- "If I can't be happy now, then why will I be happy in the future? If I'm not happy about who I am, then this is not going to change in the future no matter what I will have or what I won't have." Great quote right here. I wish I had figured this out at a much younger age. You're the man, Sena. This is the first video I've watched by you and I've subscribed. Keep up the good work!
Beautiful. I live by the same credo. I'm a father, husband, teacher and son and that's all. I love playing with my daughters, helping my wife in any way possible, and caring for my ailing in-laws and mom. It's a full life. I need nothing else.
Your just a transcendent human being living in a world full of mind bots… props to you my friend, as a nutritionist i focus on nutrition (obviously) and exercise and you will maximize your transcendent and tap into your full genetic potential 🙌🏻

For 30 years I have built up a library of music, literally thousands of cds and vinyl, chasing up and acquiring new sounds.

I needed to hear this. Because I have a boring life and I'm happy. *It's so peaceful and uncomplicated*
Uncomplicated.. what a great word to describe a simple life. As our world becomes more complicated and complex, I want my life to be just the opposite
Yeah, having any kind of life, as long as most of the time your psychological and physical needs are met, it's just fine :) I feel like you, I find happiness in simple things, and people keep telling me, what a boring life.you live, or what boring you are hahaha
But, I don't mind as long as I feel good
People find an excuse for anything and everything.

I struggled with alcoholism for many years (I'm in my early thirties) and decided to go sober. Got myself two cats and took several months cutting out anything that I didn't feel was necessary.

Boring is good. Stability and consistency are underrated.
Bank and pharma owners don't want you to lead a boring life. They want you to be ambitious, eat, buy stuffs, get sick, buy medicine and die without causing much trouble to the current global "hedonistic" order.
I agree
True and I prefer boring but financially secure/set for life than the the rat race to NOWHERE. LOL!
That's a contradictory statement.
I wish my family would understand this. They're always trying to "save" me from my life. They think I'm bored, lonely, sad, etc... But really the only problem is with people trying to change how I live. I'm perfectly content living a simple life.
I feel ya. Same here. My family thinks I'm not enjoying life, but they don't seem to understand that I'm perfectly happy just as I am.
Yes. CONTENT is a beautiful way to live!
Right? They keep putting this pressure of getting rich, raising a family, having a stable job, etc. It does sound nice, but ultimately, it’s a scam. Either way, it will lead to a boring life.

I have never drank or took drugs or anything. I just liked being an overgrown 10 year old. Reading Famous MOnsters,reading comics,going to the drive-in,collecting toys,watching all nighters of horror films,etc. I grew up in the 70 and 80s which was the perfect freedom times. I've met everyone from Jerry Seinfeld to Stephen King to Devo to Michael Caine to Tim Burton. I did a lot of living on what I made delivering pizzas and stocking shelves at grocery stores. I still wish it was like the 70s,watching everything from the Pippi movies to Candleshoe to Meatballs to Laserblast. Magical times. Drive-ins ruled the roost and late night TV was amazing. Less commercials and more movie.
Dannion Brinkley always said "life is like summer camp". If more people lived like that,I think things would be much better.
I had such ambition 20 years ago. I wanted to film documentaries and inspire and make a positive impact on society. Now, I know that the general public is fucking hopeless so I am just going to relax, garden, be a positive or neutral contributor to society, and donate monthly to charity to justify my unproductive existence.
The world could use some honest, blunt cynicism. Case in point, th-cam.com/video/MSZgoFyuHC8/w-d-xo.html
Same here. I want nothing to do with society at this point. I have more fun at home by myself.
I too want to relax with you
Same here
@@cellulardecay9520I really needed this comment. It’s crazy how much validation we need as humans to do something we find strange - your comment really did a lot for me. I thought it was strange that I don’t like going outside anymore.
You are wise beyond your years. I’m also happy leading a “boring” life. Now that I’m retired, people ask me what I do all day. I always reply, “Whatever I want to do.” Usually I just read, cook, enjoy my pugs & family, go for walk-all simple things. Although I’m sorry about the whole pandemic & its atrocious effects on the world, I have had no trouble adjusting to being at home. It’s a gift to be content with oneself. Best wishes to you!
Congratulations, I'm happy for you. 😊
Do you work a job ?
I agree. Retirement is heaven. We worked hard. Now it's time to enjoy!!!
Vivian, I am in the same situation in life. Retirement is good but I get tired of answering the same questions. Actually, having retired just 5 years ago, I had planned to return to Tokyo just before the pandemic to do some photography and then spend some time in Thailand and Vietnam... So, I feel trapped in an alternate lifestyle for now.
@@bryancole842 Bryan, I’m sorry you’re somewhat in limbo given the pandemic’s interruption of your travel & photography plans. Hang in there. Things are bound to get better.
I’m so happy to watch this. I’m “boring”. I enjoy the things around me, rather than rushing around trying to find the next big thing. I don’t care who doesn’t like it. I’m content with myself enough to travel alone, go to concerts alone, and invite friends if I want to. It’s only when I try to accommodate someone else’s wishes to be exciting, is when I feel anxiety.
Well, good for you! Stay that way and don't let anyone change you :)
I feel the same way. I love being at home, hanging out with my dogs doing what I want. I feel much more stressed out when others pressure me to "join the party" when I'd rather not.
Exactly, i feel like it's only when there are other ppl involved, who are not on the same page and try to project and demand, that being yourself is a problem. Only when I compare or feel pressured and "threatened" caused by external factors, my choices and character make me feel bad and become an issue. My person and life itself are not problematic or bad or less worthy or what not.
I like taking care of my plants and spending time with them, I like youtube, I like meaningful conversations with anyone, my meditation times, music, long morning walks, cooking, I like books too and research papers.
Omg please be my friend
You sound very much like an INTJ.. like me
I like everything you said....except research papers lol
I can relate to much of what you say.
Same here and I am an INTJ :)
I've been working a lot on this with my therapist over the past six months. The fact that many people around my age are having similar realizations all around the world gives me hope that maybe, sometime soon we will all be more relaxed and happier than we pretend to be right now.
Our corporate overlords and their pet politicians will do their best to NOT let that happen.
Yip..💪
@@ChineduOpara very true, but there's one problem - young people, while all of this can be easily understood by 30+, the target of that are young people / children. How to save them ? They're very destructive in their life view.
@@IJOSoundVideo Education and better role models. We grown-ups have very little control over this... A we can do is *model* the behavior.
You are fortunate to have come to this realization at a relatively young age. I spent decades wondering why I was 'different', and doing things others thought were fabulous fun was mentally exhausting. A quiet day at home with my family is heaven to me. I have drastically cut the time I spend on social media (even youtube!) and am working toward building a life of MY dreams.
Cool 💪
I always thought there was something wrong with me too, because i never seemed to like the same things as others. Now im nearly 70 and ive finally realized that being different is not bad at all.
“Life is not what we imagine, life is what is happening in the moment. “ Feeling fulfilment in our own self is one bliss. 😇
This pandemic where everyday I heard death news of people around me, really make me to badly enjoy the current moments because we don't know what might happen to us in the next second.
Dear Sena, you are not living a "boring life" at all. As long as you enjoy and feel happy with what you are doing, it is an exciting life :)
Thats exactly how I feel too. Life is not boring if you find joy from the small things and moments. Everything else feels so consuming. Sure it’s important to work on something you love.
well said!
No its a boring simple life and thats perfectly fine. I am with him so tired of people expecting each other to live on the edge or something.
I think that s the perspective he s trying to express here
That is what I was thinking also.
Yes, it feels that “progress” is an imposition on our daily life. Simpler is always satisfying. Complex is more stressful.
In my 20s I spent all my time on road trips, skateboarding, exciting hobbies, social media, friends, wanting to be noticed. By 28 I was uneducated, unemployed, $25k in debt, and frustrated.
In my 30s I've stayed home and studied, found a high-paying consistent job, paid off all my debt, moved into a nice house, and save 50% of my income. At 33, life is simple and I'm happiest I've ever been.
That's great. I'm 19 and not interested in the conventional, vain things that society and others pressure me to pursue, and just want to live a simple life instead. I've always been a loner so am less susceptible to societal influence. I guess it's a blessing because it led me to figure out what truly makes me happy.
I needed to hear this comment. I’m 27, about to turn 28 and for the last 5 years I’ve been chasing the aforementioned life you described. I mean everything, skateboarding,music festivals, traveling, friends, hobbies.. but I can’t lie and say I’m starting to feel the slow life more appealing
@@mxbvibes good stuff, do what feels right. i just turned 36 now, income almost doubled since my last comment. Bought a house, paid off car, almost done with my degree. Life is still very simple but I started skateboarding again and its much more fun now. I can afford new boards and skate shoes often, trips to new places to skate... and I'm a better skater than I ever was because my mind is clear and stress level very low. what I'm realizing now is that there are many many years ahead of us to do anything we want, and its much more fun when life is stable. there's no age limit if you eat right, every week I'm learning tricks I never would have dreamed of in my 20s
I agree with every word, it's such a joy to have these words expressed so perfectly. I love my boring life too - I'm so grateful to eat well, enjoy good books, TH-cam, painting and my small family. I love my home and don't want any adventures :)
oh that sounds lovely
I have a " boring " life too.. but I enjoy the peace and simplicity.
I love the quote: "Might contribute to someone being wealthy ... environment, right family, who you meet, and luck play a huge role." It appears he believes that outcome has a lot to do with other stuff we can't always control. Finally someone who realizes that we can not control everything!!!!
I wish I had this wisdom when I was in my 20s. As I got older, I find greater joy in having a non-drama, simple life and spend more time at home rather than going out. Im also lucky that my spouse also embraces this kind of lifestyle (even though we live in the Bay Area California).
A boring life is a simple life, a simple life = peaceful great post!
Great video. People find it weird when I tell them I'm not on IG, facebook, etc. I never found interest in connecting that way. I am totally fine living a humble and happy life off grid.
I still do facebook and ig. But unfollowing and unfriended plenty of random people and kept those i am interested knowing only.
Strongly agree with your mindset!
Come in my life, my life is boring
When people have experienced life, they will realize that everything in the world is meaningless when they die without taking it with them.
Agreed!
Is listening to a song meaningless?
Thank you so much for making this video. I am 19 years old and currently a senior in university( i started at 15) and everyone around me including my family berates me for living a simple life. I don't smoke, drink, haven't been to any party even though that's what most people think college students should be doing. My hobbies are reading and doing crafts like embroidery. I like how my life is and I genuinely have so much fun doing my hobbies but people think I am lying to cover up loneliness. I aspire to live a happy life, I don't want to live a life I'll regret when I'm older due to being pressured by society. Life is short so I want to have no little regrets when I die. why live your own life trying to please other people who aren't content with themselves and will never be content with you.
Do what you want in life, it is your life. Living a simple life and being content is great,
Just make sure you plan your finances so you would be able to sustain your simple lifestyle for life and tell people to leave you alone as you are already set for life financially.
The past few years, I have done a flip flop with my life, friends and self respect. I love a simple, "boring" life. Never felt better to do this. Before I always felt like a ragdoll, having to appease everyone. Thanks for this video.
I find his mindset and philosophy incredibly attractive. Lots of support from nyc
I feel this. I love being at home, and there's really no other place that is better, although I like being in nature a lot too. I'd rather stay at home and play instruments or learn about many different subjects that fascinate me, than go to a party or something of that nature. I just found your channel, and I love how down to earth and pleasant you seem. :)
Yes I agree. As an introvert I'm very happy being home and enjoying my simple hobbies and totally at peace. If there's too much chaos I get too stressed and need to come home to recharge and unwind. 😊
Me too. No drama, no stress. I love my home, it is where the heart is. I own my house outright in California(paid it off in 15 yrs), I have 2 paid-off cars. I retired a 38 and debt-free. I have 3 solid monthly income streams until I die. Life is good. No alarm clocks, no deadlines, No planner, just a calendar to keep track of my medical/dental appts and other events to stay a bit active. There are so many things to do in life OUTSIDE of the rat race to nowhere. LOL.
Dear Sena i'am 77 year leaving alone in Amsterdam. ( Moeder ziel),it's means i have nobody in this world!!! But i learn much about your life story. ThankU Sena. 😍👍🙏
I'm sorry you feel you have no one in the world, though I think we have all experienced the same feeling from time-to-time. Do you not have any family left? Still, you have a friend in the U.S. if you ever feel the need. What does moederziel alleen mean?
Sending a hug because I kind of felt this way before! Please know we are here with you also.
Manoppo? are u from Indonesia? Manoppo is a clan in Indonesia

@@davidadams2395 ThankU David !
Cheers to anyone that chooses to live an ordinary life with meaning, purpose and servitude to self and others. Boring is not a "bore" when it is intentional. Achieving for better by means of acquiring material wealth is a social construct. While living with only the basics is challenging it offers a wide array of lessons that is life-changing.
As long as I have my Folgers Breakfast blend coffee, I’m happy! I don’t need much of anything else to be happy. I used to be the one who had to be in the middle of everything-always feeling I was missing out in life. Those years were the most miserable for me. Once I decided to be content in my life with the simple things, I found so much peace. I’m in my late 40s, and those restless years were my late teens into my 20s..but as I got older, my ideas of happiness changed. It changed to peace, simple and love those who love u back.
Welcome Home.
Folgers! Me too! 😂
"The World Is Made For Those Who Aren't Cursed With Self-Awareness."
This is so true!!
I'ts funny though because on one hand I'm jealous of them and on the other, sometimes I wish they too had at least a little self awareness and maybe they will be more able to put themselves in somebody else's shoes.
Underrated
finally someone said it!
I never felt validated until I saw this.
thank you so much!
I'm not against people living their life to the fullest, like good for yall.
but I decide to live a mediocre life so that I can take care of myself more.
I rejected job promotion and stay in current position because I dont want more work, I want more time for myself.
That's all.
:)
Ditto!
I hear ya buddy💪
I feel this, man!
Excellent video. I wouldn't call it "boring life", I would call it a reflective life, you are a sane person who knows why you do things. It's a great truth, we don't have to follow the pattern imposed by companies and traditional social structures, it's not easy for people to understand it, the person should matter more.
Your videos are an inspiration and that already makes your life incredible for me. Greetings from México.
I have a house by the beach, and it is just me and my dog. We introverts live a no drama stress less peaceful life………and I wouldn’t change it for anything.
Ditto ❤
This resonates with me. Attaining inner peace and happiness is the ultimate goal in life.
This is what i like in Japanese culture... Simplicity, and self discernment finding inner self and knowing oneself being true and being joyfull.
Sena is a rare soul among the Japanese people. Japanese culture is actually very cutthroat and citizens are expected to get a good job, graduate from uni, study hard and get a good partner etc. Doing things outside of these accepted societal normalities are scrutinized and looked down upon by others.
Having a good night sleep, and being able to see the sun next day is good enough for me.
I love your insights. And I am sure, you're happy. Inside out.
Some people might be able to relate to this, but I also feel like hanging out with a lot of "friends" and going out/ to parties all the time is just a waste of time. Nothing substantive good comes out of that process other than "ok I just spent time with a lot of people." Hence, as an introvert, I also really enjoy being away from people and living a "boring, ordinary" no drama life.
Well said!
I’m a introvert ENJOY MY OWN COMPANY . Peace 🙌🏾
Absolutely! Hanging out with people is a hugely overrated experience, often miserable for introverts. The small talk is draining and even alienating... I'd rather have no discussions with anybody than such shallow discussions as those you have with large groups of people.
I did all the partying in my 20s and early 30s then I stopped doing it because I almost became an alcoholic and I was spending too much money. Now, I prefer to stay home and host a house party once in a blue moon. I own my house outright in California(paid it off in 15 yrs), I have 2 paid-off cars. I retired a 38 and debt-free. I have 3 solid monthly income streams until I die. Life is good. No alarm clocks, no deadlines, No planner, just a calendar to keep track of my medical/dental appts and other events to stay a bit active. There are so many things to do in life OUTSIDE of the rat race to nowhere. Ahhhh, peace/quiet is the best! LOL.
So much wisdom at such a young age! Loved, loved, loved NZ! Would like to retire there.
Yes! Absolutely. When I was younger, I lived a very stressful life. Finally, when I was around 40 years old I had enough. I knew that life must be simple and not this crazy bombardment of 'shoulds,' 'have-tos.' and 'suppossed-tos' that greater society tries to put on our shoulders. It's insane. Since then, I've slowly been simplifying my life as much as possible, especially with my own mind and the way I think of people, things, and life. If my mind is clear and open, with the least amount of biases or strong opinions then I can let a lot of what stresses people out just flow through me and out of me. I'm not so extreme that I don't have an opinion on anything. I don't like mushrooms or water chestnuts, and I love strong coffee and writing. And I prefer letting my life flow as it will rather than pushing so hard to make things happen that I end up stressed out and feeling miserable.
Over the past few years, I've found out how to let this natural flow of being help me get rid of some bad habits. I used to abuse alcohol, but now I don't have much of a taste for it. I will drink occasionally with family, but won't want very much. I didn't make myself stop drinking. I just naturally stopped because I had other things I wanted to do, like reading, studying new subjects and learning new things. I'm very close to quitting smoking cigarettes, too. I used to smoke a pack (20 cigarettes) per day, but now I smoke around 4 to 8 cigarettes per day. Again, I didn't make myself do it. I stopped paying attention to how much I was smoking and stopped stressing myself out about quitting. "It isn't a big deal," I tell myself, "because I don't like smoking, so the cravings and habit will go away, just like my taste for alcohol went away." I don't worry. I focus on doing the things I enjoy and want to do so I can help other people.
I've found that the only thing that really takes our happiness away is trying to live up to other people's expectations of us. We only need to live up to our own expectations of ourselves. That's what life is. It's very simple. Our natural desires and dislikes will keep us on our right path, as long as we are able to ignore other people and their blind judgments of us.
Thank you for this wonderful video. Now that I know the meaning of life, I need to solve the mystery of why the people who think a lot like I do always live so far away from me. This is the first video of yours that I've watched. I think I will watch more of them now. Take great care & I will do my best to keep up with your videos.
Same
this is what I aspire in life, the so called "boring life" for so many people.
My simple life motto would be to work hard , be true to yourself and help other people around you when needed. Thanks for making this video. Your life is a privilege bcoz you enjoy doing what you like, it is never a boring life. I enjoy playing games and that is one part of my life. 😎
I felt this video helped me out more than talking to my therapist. Thanks for making it. I've been telling myself lately "live happy and die happy" should be our common goal, after all we can't live forever.
One of my favorite quotes to live by "We suffer more often in our imagination than in reality"..
And I liked yours when you said "if we can't be happy now, how will we be happy in the future?"
And that people who are happy don't really have to show it...
I love this video. This is how I have been living my life and it makes me so calm. I don't want to try to be an executive or run my own business. I just want to make enough money to look after myself and my family and enjoy the rest of my time. Even if the way I enjoy my time isn't productive or new.
You read my mind!
I resonate with soooo many parts of this video. Literally so, so so many. I'm so relieved to know there are people just like me out there as well, who want to seek the beautiful in the so-called "ordinary." Thanks for such a lovely video, can't wait to watch more :)
yes me too! ☺️
@Rodolphe Egerton tf? "my pain is so unique and deep and meaningful. nobody truly understands!" LMAO
@Rodolphe Egerton you must be pretty self-absorbed to not understand that i was, in fact, mocking _you._ but let's put all that aside for a minute: are you ok, man? what does it mean to be "alienated" for you?
@Rodolphe Egerton for a lot of girls, they can do that. same for certain guys. but i think you understand that it's not the reality for a lot of people - people so plain that they're not even the ones who come to mind when you think any girl can get attention any time. frankly, i'm talking about overweight people or those of a certain ethnic background, etc. if you spend all your time looking for evidence that men are oppressed, you'll surely find it - just like how if women look only for evidence that they are oppressed, there's a long list for that, too. the more important question is: is finding all this information really helping you get to where you want to be? you can be right about all these facts why men can't do what they want to do, but the information isn't going to help you. to get a better answer, you have to ask a better question
Riding even know this mindset was a thing with people. I just started to enjoy the simple!e things in life. My favourite thing to do is watch clouds. I get this "wow" feeling every time
So true! Love this! 🙏💛 Thank you!
Thanks, I definitely needed a reminder of this :)
As a 28 year old I still don't know what I'm doing. I still find myself comparing my life to others. I feel like I need to go out to the bars to have a "fun life" even tho I don't enjoy going there. But now as I slowly realize that it's okay to be alone and not forcing myself to go things that I don't like. Sometimes it's okay to stay home and game with the online boys. I enjoy the simplest things such as hiking with my dog, biking to explore the city, hooping, and most of all I can train and watch my racing pigeons fly all day.
I feel like this too sometimes. I'm 28 and still live at home. Didn't live on campus all throughout college, never been to a nightclub, never traveled extensively (I don't have the money to get on a plane and go to Europe. And even if I did I don't know who I would go with lol). Many times people have told me I need to get out more or some variation of that. At the end of the day other people's opinions don't matter. You have to do what makes you happy. Don't go to a bar if you feel like that environment is not your thing. Many people are too judgemental nowadays, and more often than not they have their own issues to resolve, so that's even more reason to disregard them.
@@dreamcollector6811 for sure, lol I just moved back with my mom too after living with my friends for 2 years. It was fun hosting hangouts but having to clean up the mess weekend after weekend gets old quick. I find myself wanting more peace and quite the older I get. Would I live with my boys again, probably not but do I regret moving with them, no. It was a good experience. Lol when I was in my teens I thought I knew everything about life and fast forward, what am I doing. Lol life is funny.
My thinking is much the same with you, Sena! I'm also living a "boring life" too! Love you so much!
I totally agree with you! Glad I found your video today! Thanks for sharing!
Just what I need to hear today! Thank you very much for this! :)
I can relate with this "boring life" and I am loving it. Simple life is cool. Just live your life. Thanks Sena for sharing :)
A really nice thoughtful video, that highlights the peace of mind that can come when one sheds the ego
Really love this message! Thanks for this :)
Great video! Thank you for sharing this wisdom
We all fell in the trap of living a fully life that we forget to enjoy everyday and every opportunity we have.
Thanks for the reminder.
I appreciated listening to your video. I needed a good reminder that my ordinary life is just fine. I’m most content when I’m mindfully living with intention while being grateful for the opportunity to do so.
Love your humble, aware message. Thank you
Thanks for this video! You’re so right - we are completely and utterly surrounded by ideas of what we should be doing and what we should enjoy. Being authentic is a sure fire way of developing our confidence.
Thanks for sharing your "boring life", Sena. For me it is not such a boring life as you defined. Being happy with what you are having and who you truly are, being yourself.
The joy I get simply viewing my garden, watching the birds and the bugs and the other little critters run about enjoying what I helped create, is greater than pleasure that has been thrown in my face trying to get me to chase it.
Being a gardener is new to me, a result of covid. It slowed me down, and now I cherish the "boring" life. A life where I remain in the now, enjoying creation like a song or a dance, not a journey to get through. It is peace.
This is probably the most needed video i´ve seen in my whole life. Thank you for this dose of wisdom and have a great day.
Thank you. I needed to hear this.
First of all, thank YOU so much for expressing this true message. Im so proud of you.
I need to practice liking my simple “boring” life because my problem is - i miss my life that was busier (even tho i was so stressed and it was manifesting in awful ways).
Hey, im on the right path i know. Thanks for this boost.
This is a great video. Amazing insight.
What a great vlog - enjoyed every minute. Thanks for posting this.
This is the most useful video I've watched in a long time. Ty!
thank you for always giving us consistent minimalism content. i look forward always to your videos.
Cheers!
This is amazing. This is me. Very basic but feeling guilty at times for not being out there. This is just me and you are right about deciding this is how I want to live my life. Big hugs to you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great vid filled with many truths. Thanks for this.
Absolutely love this video and message!! We need more of this exact message! ❤️ love your accent !! 😊
So fantastic to hear how down to earth, humble and grateful you are to others!!
The simple, minimalistic and quiet life is underrated. The older I get the more I realise this.
Great insight Sena! Living "in the moment" is the ZEN WAY! Living that "compare yourself to others" doesn't bring happiness. Besides, happiness is a fleeting emotion that cannot be sustained! In my humble experience "Contentedness" is a more sustained feeling and is achieved through simple living and a focus on 3 things that are highly intertwined: your health, relationships with your self and others, and nature. I just subbed and am looking forward to more of your videos!
Thank you for teaching me something today. Have a wonderful day! 🙏🏼🤍
Wow, what a great video! Possibly the best I've seen. I love your awareness and authenticity.
@6:20 -- "If I can't be happy now, then why will I be happy in the future? If I'm not happy about who I am, then this is not going to change in the future no matter what I will have or what I won't have." Great quote right here. I wish I had figured this out at a much younger age. You're the man, Sena. This is the first video I've watched by you and I've subscribed. Keep up the good work!
The wisdom shared in this short amount of time is priceless!!
This video is so refreshing! You seem free and wise. Keep it up 👍🏾
What a GREAT video. I really liked it and how you did it. You are sort of amazing!
I will say this: social media is super toxic which is why I don’t have it
Thanks Sena! The pandemic has left a lot of people rethinking their priorities in life. Your thoughts here are an anti-dote to the rat race.
I love this video - so wise. Re-watching it now and then helps me stay on a sane path in my life. Thank you.
The best video I've watched in a long time. Thank you for this!!
Now i started to appreciate things i have and dont have. That s making life more peaceful
Man, your videos inspire me to do better! Thank you.
Cheers!
Very inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing.
I really appreciate the time that you spent making this video. I’m very grateful. Thank you.
I love that! I always thought simplicity is a luxury! I am happy with having my simple and minimalistic life :)
Beautiful. I live by the same credo. I'm a father, husband, teacher and son and that's all. I love playing with my daughters, helping my wife in any way possible, and caring for my ailing in-laws and mom. It's a full life. I need nothing else.
So true.
This was beautiful. Thank you.
This was a different perspective, cool! Thanks for sharing.
In this guy I see a lot of me I m really impressed...he is literally my japanese alter ego
