Thomas Heaton sent me this way. Good video, inspiring words. I'm glad I watched it.
Much appreciated :)
@@JakeOskiin his Newsletter!
That's so kind of him, thanks for letting me know :)
Me too. I agree with his philosophy.
Thomas Heaton sent me - great video! I am 58 now and trying to live up to your ideas since abour 2 years. Bought a Cambervan and take all the time I want!
Sounds awesome! My vans saved me loads of $ staying all over the place. I’m making a short film on van life that should be out soon!
Thomas Heaton sent me your to be honest this is exactly what I have been talking to my husband about this morning. If you don't live your lives to the fullest, we'll what is the point. Thanks for articulating our thoughts so well.
Thanks to Thomas Heaton for sending me this way. I just recently posted a video with very similar thoughts to this. I am tired of being tied to a corporate job. Life is so much more than working to increase somebody else's wealth by sacrificing my health. Excellent video!
Very topical coming across this in Thomas Heaton's latest newsletter as I feel stresslaxing sums up a lot of how I feel at the moment. Can't say it is doing me any good. I'll definitely be taking Sunday off.
Done years of this dude, I've ended up getting help as my mental health was shattered. The glorification of working ourselves to death is what gets most of us.
Well said! We get it. We decided to get out and travel and explore van life before we were too old to enjoy it. Traveling, photography, and making videos about our experiences. ....I've never felt guilty about relaxing. If you don't care for yourself, no one else will and you'll burn out.
(I found you from Thomas Heaton's newsletter.)
Love that!
Great video, and so relevant. Another Thomas Heaton follower sent your way.
Thomas Heaton sent me here too. Never allow your wisdom regarding aging and mortality to get you down. Use it to appreciate and embrace every wonderful day you have. Whether one lives 9 days or 109 years we are all here but for a moment.
100% this, got no intentions of slowing down!
Came to this from Thomas Heaton's newsletter. I saw something similar that asked the question about what regrets you'll be thinking about when you know your time is up, and that you should do what you can now to remove those regrets if you can. I'm too far down the line - 55, happily married, two children 21 & 25 - to change direction and be selfish with my future, and I've long accepted that I WILL have some regrets. I think this is healthy though as I can focus my energies on what makes me, my wife, my daughter, and my son happy in life... no matter how long that life is :)
Great video! It took a heart attack, diabetes, and a bunch of other metabolic disorders to make me realize that at 65, I was killing myself working a job from hell, that was only making things worse. Best thing to happen was my job was outsourced and I was terminated 4 months shy of full retirement age. Almost immediately, my health improved, AFib and Diabetes got back under control as all the stress was gone. Made me reassess what I wanted for the remainder of my life. Realized that there was just so much stuff in my life I could do without. This fits in well with my following the principles of stoicism. Thanks to Tom H. for recommending your channel.
Just getting the right balance - my economics professor once said that as long as your bills are paid, there's food on the table and kids are clothed - you're rich. Everything else is extra.
Dude! Thanks for publishing this (and @Thomas Heaton for recommending). What a wonderful message. This seriously brightened my day.
I don't agree with you that you only have '...twenty years left...' to do active things, though. I and my friends are approaching sixty and we're still hiking and mt. biking, skiing and climbing just as much and as hard as we did thirty years ago - maybe more so. And to an extent, we make our own families - so perhaps some of those we call friends may well be thinking of us. Hopefully these comments add to the wonderful message and tone. They are certainly meant to do so.
I will second that response - echoes what I was planning to say! My regret is not realising it earlier
Stoked to hear that! I don't intend to slow down for sure, I just hope that all my surgeries will either hold up for another few decades of abuse or Elon Musk will pull a finger out and make us some synthetic artificial joint replacements 😉
At 60 I'm starting to find all the bits I've damaged but hasn't stopped me climbing to the top of mountains just to take a photo!@@JakeOski
Thomas Heaton sent me - great video !
THeaton directed me to this eloquently narrated post. Thanks, Jake.
Spot on. Simple things we kinda easily forget. Life can pass you by. Great message!
Another Thomas Heaton visitor here - he's right, this needs to be viewed by a wider audience.
Thanks Ian!
Excellent message
Thanks :)
Thomas Heatons Newsletter send me here. Great Video, great message, true words! Happy for you, that you came to that realization. And fun fact: after your closing words, guess what the ad was about... ... ... getting rich fast by one of these crypto bros 😂
Bet they've got a "system" to predict the unpredictable too 😂
I don't know how old you are, but I am nearly 65, and I can tell you that you have much more than 20 years of activity ahead of you. It changes over time, but you're still active. The rest of your message hits home; I'm retiring, with a bit of a nest egg and getting a vanbuild underway, because there is so much exploration ahead. Who knows?, I may be able to tell good stories to other women of a "certain age".
Hear hear !
I just undergone a cancer operation, am 61, and very much still doing things actively and see no end due to my age !
Hope you enjoy your up coming retirement plans, and as I think you are saying if you have lead an active life ‘before’ there is no real reason turning the great age of 60 and beyond things can not continue
Thanks for the kind words! And I appreciate what you're saying. We've got local kitesurfers and bikers who are well over 70 and still shredding. I took a number of big hits, including one knee already restored, this latest shoulder injury that's not going to fully heal and I need another one on my right knee. Not sure how long these fixes will keep me going so as soon as I can I'm going back to full throttle until I can't anymore :) Enjoy building up the van! My old girl will be getting retired this year so I'll have another one to convert over the winter :)
Well said. If the sun comes up, it's going to be a good day. I'm happy for each day I'm alive to see the wonders of this world we share. Life is a gift, be kind, enjoy, have fun.
Well said!
Well said.... thanks for sharing your wise words
Thanks for watching!
Outstanding video. Well done.
Thanks Peter, much appreciated, love your content!
@@JakeOski Thank you, mate. As a 55-yo who’s worked his arse off for almost 40 years, your video struck a chord. I hope you garner a much wider audience for your work, and if this video is any indication, I’d that is assured. 👍
That's very kind, thank you!
Some good advice there.
Thanks dude!
I learned this the hard way.
You are so right.
Thanks, I came to this realisation a bit late in life but screw it, many years ahead of doing stupid stuff and making new memories :)
