I’m 69 and just finished writing my first book. I was a professional technical writer but learned that I’m a decent creative author. One of the most satisfying things I’ve ever done.
Just turned 42 and I'm I doing exactly what you did. Investing in my health and wealth for the future. Lived in the moment up until this point and was beginning to come of the rails. Now I am in a much better place. Great advice.
One trait of Ash’s content I’ve always responded to is it often feels as if he’s having the conversation directly with me. A sign of a good presenter, I guess👊
Agree Ash. Have lived a very similar life. And followed the same advice. My grandmother Showed me the advantages of saving. Now that I am in my 60's I can reap the benefits. A great Man once said "follow your bliss". Cheers Ron
Right now I am that boring “does his job adequately and that’s it” guy. I am determined to turn that around before I enter my 40s in a few years. I am glad I found your channel as I have had a dearth of positive male role models all my life. 🙏🏻
I agree with you fully Ash. Living in the moment is great and all but I never experienced more pleasure in life than accomplishing long challenging tasks.
Great video. Having a good healthy routine is so important. Each day I now get up at 6am. I do some gentle exercise first thing. This year I started to learn Tai Chi. I then eat a healthy balanced breakfast. I use my journal to plan my day. And I then enjoy that time in the morning before everyone else has got up. I listen to some music and just meditate. I try to have a daily walk in nature. I make sure I go to bed at the same time every day. Since I started doing this my health has much improved.
Wise advice. A life in the moment is likely not a life under command. Living the moment is not quite the same as seizing the moment. Challenge is the spice of life.
Some excellent themes there, Ash most of which resonated with me. My driving theme is never to prevaricate or put things off. If you can do something today, do it as time waits for no man. I like the idea of personal challenges by exposing yourself to new things or having a target in terms of health - getting to a level of fitness etc . And if you can kill two birds with one stone, even better. Learn new things, stretch your mind and body.
There were a couple things on here I was not expecting, and for those alone, I am very glad I watched this. Thank you for all you do, and continue to do, Ash.
Ash, You're an inspiration to may people. Your a good example for those that have to think about what is next in life. Another great video. 1. Live your life looking forward 2.Prioritize health and well being 3.Nurture relationships 4 Use the gifts and talents you have. 5. Challenge yourself.
1. Look forward. But also look into the future. Health & Finances. 2. Prioritize health & wellbeing. People rely on you. 3. Nurturing relationships. Connections inspire, nurture and make your life better. 4. Use your talents. Use your gifts (for instance Ash: Passing messages to people) 5. Challenge yourself. Pitch for the excellent, explore. Push open a door (can be anything like events, leaving your comfort zone). Great video. 🎉👍🏻😎 Thanks, Ash!
Your homework now is to change those points into a noumonic , so everyone can immediately remember that information , as example K eep It Simple Stupid, KISS.
Excellent advice! You and I are actually very similar with regards to the whole "lone wolf" thing. I've crossed paths with some amazing people in my life but one of my character flaws is that I don't keep in touch. I regret that now. Relationships run their course for various reasons but often all it takes to rekindle them is to pick up the phone or fire off an email. I cherish my remaining friendships and am particularly vigilant to safeguard any new ones.
Foundations are what holds everything together 1: Always have a great breakfast 2: Always look sharp 3: Always enjoy an amazing dinner The rest will take care of itself
Completly understand the health aspects. Similarly, i am in my early 40s and i am having these thoughts about my future health wellbeing....this is the time to act.
I wish I knew these things 45 years ago. I am now suffering the effects. I made a decision that even at 65 i needed to change. My journey is on going. I hope to have a healthy retirement.
I half thought that last one was going to be Dogging (in a Bryn type way)! Spring challenge perhaps? 😂 Seriously though. Sound advice that I hope helps a lot of people 👍🏼
Hello ash, related with your final point about challenging oneself out of comfort zone, how about talking with a stranger about the Bible, is that something you're interested about? Or attending a Bible based lecture, what's you're take on that? Is it worth listening to it?
I think living in the MOMENT includes living responsibly and being aware of consequences. It means not living in a stew of fretting and worrying. The Buddhists believe in living moderately, as do most of the rest of the religions. The Buddhists are the folks who focus on living in the NOW. As they say, the past is over and cannot be changed, and the future has not yet happened and is unknowable. This is to urge you to eschew worry and to live your life, responsibly, moderately, and with joy.
An interesting comment! I think its interesting that in modern parlance "living in the moment" often precludes consideration, reflection. If you are thinking, you are not in the moment. I'm often told I overthink things, I disagree. Instead I live by a motto handed down to me, "worrying is a waste of food". Fretting achieves nothing but burnt calories at best, if you can see potential for unfavourable outcomes then plan for it. Plan for everything. Draw the map around you, know your options. As soon as you have a concern, you have a project! List the potentials, then plot possible routes. Suddenly you can see the board before you, which greatly helps to anticipate (and be prepared for) issues and also to feel assured of your opportunities when they occur.
Hello Ash. Not bad, but your explanation of the 'Here and Now' of the gurus is not correct. Besides, you have to have an advanced experience with real meditation (being a follower of 'the Path') to know that state. 🙂 Greetngs from Belgium 🙏
Well Well Well! Just watched the video about those things? Which do not please you in terms of style. There is an offer that may seem interesting to you! How about the fact that you have to photograph each outfit for each of your outfit during a week, and then make a video a review of everything that you had to wear in a week? We will find out how often you dress in style 007, and how often you dress the park! Just photograph everything honestly!
This bloke is like a big brother or a father figure that I needed at this period in my life where I feel aimless and totally lost.
I’m 69 and just finished writing my first book. I was a professional technical writer but learned that I’m a decent creative author. One of the most satisfying things I’ve ever done.

Great video as always! I wish this video was created and posted ten or more years ago! Well! Better now than never!
One trait of Ash’s content I’ve always responded to is it often feels as if he’s having the conversation directly with me. A sign of a good presenter, I guess👊
When I’m filming these videos, I imagine I’m talking directly to you Pete. That’s my performance secret!

This guy could read the phone book and you would be on the edge of your seat all the way through.
So true. A great presenter for sure!
Always enjoy the Chap's Guide. He is quite the gentleman. And very accurate with this episode. 👌
Such a nice guy. Respect.
Fantastic videos. Very good advices.
reflecting on past journeys, decisions wins and losses is taught to all health care professionals. A great skill to have and to develop
Thank you, dear Ash! You are an inspiration for many of us.

Thank you for the ideas - I've made a note of them and I think I will be following at least 2 or 3 through to a video - much appreciated.

@ Quite honestly that seems to be a very good idea. How many times does one try to keep things like these in mind.
That was a breath oh fresh air! Thanks Ash
You're so welcome!

Wise words sir.
Thank you so much for the Videos Ash they have Given me great Ideas and Encouragement on my Journey through Life .
You are so welcome!
Great video ! I see a lot of my ‘old self’ in these points.
Good saying. Thx. Get going 🚀
Thank you for this video, this is really what I needed to hear
Glad it was helpful!
A great video. I love your honesty.
And since I have not yet said it, another great video. Thank you, Ash.
Glad you enjoyed it Lynn.
I love your channel! 👍👍
Thank you so much!
Foundations are what holds everything together
1: Always have a great breakfast
2: Always look sharp
3: Always enjoy an amazing dinner

Interesting video, Ash - especially the last point.
Thanks!
Ash this is not work for you it's your passion 💕
❤ I like your points and thought.
Outstanding!
Great video as usual Ash.
Can you please do a video on diet please.
Great video ash. How old were you when you started running?
late teenager, still sporadically plodding along.
@11:29 I didn’t know that your freelance lecture gigs included the odd Friday khutbah!
I half thought that last one was going to be Dogging (in a Bryn type way)!
Spring challenge perhaps? 😂
Seriously though. Sound advice that I hope helps a lot of people 👍🏼
Hello ash, related with your final point about challenging oneself out of comfort zone, how about talking with a stranger about the Bible, is that something you're interested about? Or attending a Bible based lecture, what's you're take on that? Is it worth listening to it?
Always worth exploring any new angle in life. Leave no stone unturned
Hope you will enjoy conversing with them who knocks frequently at your door

That way of life is true Nirvana. I’ll keep working on it!

Hey sir, i think alone life soo better really i love the peace what's your opinion on it do you agree?
Alone in life is a life lived to only half it's ability.
I hardly drink now. I don't really need nor want hard liquor. I do take in some fine wine and a few bottles of beer for the whole year.
Were you a Cub Scout by any chance?
Be Prepared has never left me.
Akela left mental scars too though lol 😂🥴
Not a scout - but an Air Cadet.
2:35 this is an attitude that leads to a man building nothing for his children to inherit.
Children should forge their own paths in life.
This video should be re released in January perhaps haha.
Top Chap, but........ What do you put in those 'Dolly Parton' pockets??!!

You certainly didn't win the game of hairline.
Eat gravel
Are you sure you want to be a nightclub comic?
@@rdcwild3023 you're bald too?
I'm bald & the £ I've saved on haircuts pays for my netflix, Disney+ & Now TV subscriptions each nonth 👍
