I'm now 58. Spent my forties battling stage 4 cancer, raising a newborn and having to change careers after getting laid off from my job...was unemployed for about 2 years from the Great Recession. Life is a crap shoot, but no matter what, you keep going until its over. I have failed hundreds of times, but also have some key successes intermixed among those failures. I did get a book written...currently working on a second one.
Thanks. I needed that. I wish you well.
Wow !!! So many heroes and stories untold ! Inspiration to others that struggle. What is the name of the book?
You sir, what a warrior. Respect sir.
Thank you. I also needed to read that. I'm 42 and really struggling with underemployment.
I’ll look out for your book Fred Blake! ❤
40 now, and everything is paid for. Fortunately, I had a college economics teacher who taught me a lesson when I was 18 years old. That lesson was: you can't buy something else for every purchase you make. Having multiple sources of income is prudent, as is living within your means. I have a 13-year-old vehicle because it is all I need, I like it, and I can do whatever I want with it. My net worth is $900k, and I can pay my bills without stress, but I don't live like I have that. I have no complaints.
wow.. really nice to hear. Jealous... but realize you made a lot of sacrifices, so well deserved.
I recently graduated as a Nurse and being 48 years old had changed the way I want or prioritize things in life.
I have an immediate set of goals that I hope are right.
1-Pass my NCLEX exam
2-Guarantee a clean source of water to drink and bath by filtering the water I drink and bath out of contaminants as much as I can (RO system)
3-Afford the best kind of food I can, (quality food over processed) nutritious dense foods and budget around that.
4-Exercise regularly.
5-Find a partner in crime to spend time and ultimately whatever I have left of life.
6-Keep improving myself, financially, mentally, fiscally and do fun things or stupid things depending on how I feel to spice things up a little.
Scratch no. 5 if u really want to enjoy life😂
You and I are at the show where the habits of 3&4 separate us from everyone else in the coming years. I’m spending money on better food now and won’t apologize for it. Health in later years is substantially a result of diet and exercise.
Ken, you really teach a valuable thing to our mid-life people✨ I am in my 40s and I start to live on my own terms and say no to many old friends, old habits, even old living place. Start over my life with new living place, new career, new relationships. 💖 Now I have got an ideal life 🌟 Thanks☺🙏🏻
That is wonderful Carlie! Best wishes on your journey!
Wow !😳 Congratulations!... Reading you fed my heart and brain with wonderful Peace of Mind, thank you for sharing 😌🙏🏽🕊️✨✨✨✨✨✨
Amazing 🎉
Awesome
I wished to buy a motorcycle since my 18 and travel on it around all the Europe. It seemed to be so close and so far at once, but last year I finally bought my new Honda.
Me too! I’m not traveling Europe but I bought a brand new dirt bike on my 45th birthday
I see what you did there😅
@@dauielim2399 ❤🤣
Almost 50. I have so many things I want to be hobbies, I’ve realised now that I’ll settle for two, and make the most of them. The others will have to go.
Whenever somebody says "I don't have time" I hear that as it is - an excuse. Its usually a lack of prioritization, organization and attention. Instead of making excuses, stop playing on the phone, internet, watching tv and all the other time wasters most people spend most of their time on. There's always time enough for what is important.
I’m 28 and this applies to me. Thank you for the video!
My 3 priorities for the year are clear to me:
1. Enhance my mind-body-awareness
2. Find product-market fit for our startup
3. Become the ideal partner to attract my dream partner
That's great! I'm glad it could still help. Please feel free to share with anyone else who you think would benefit!
Done! ✅
You are so lucky to understand this at 28. Go for it, son.

I am 51 this year and what you shared is still so relevant. By end 2023 I was completely burnt out trying to do many things and only ending up feeling resentful of everyone around me. This year I have simplified my list, focusing on the most important things and i can start to work on the book I have been carrying in my head. Thanks a lot Ken!
You are welcome! Best wishes on your writing journey
I turn 41 May 24th and feel I wasted my youth playing video games and feel time is up for me also.
What? That’s a great achievement. You were kind to yourself. Never too late to get on to some new hobbies
I spent 15 years at the bottom of a bottle. I did work but I wasn't living. Also 41.
Did you enjoy playing the games? If so, nothing was wasted. Please be kinder to yourself and don’t give up!
@@carlospwk I did, but I was addicted playing for 12 hours a day sometimes 16, and that’s why I quit.
@@D87943 I am 33 and feel similar but I realize that I was just filling an empty life anyway. Nothing lost that wasn't already lost. But I have now reached the age where I just want to play the game of life. However daunting.
Never discard inspiration. If I’m inspired to create, I create. If I have an idea, I write it down. Inspiration is uniquely a human thing. How many young people get an idea only to be distracted by the all the garbage in the world.
It is a crime against myself to discard my inspirations.
Also, never wait for inspiration, just get to work.
But please remember: traveling as 40yo is not the same as you have 60. Maintain balance, try to connect work and traveling somehow. Starting traveling at 60s might be too late for some activities ;)
I've done this method in my 30's and I'd say that it was proven as instrumentally imperative. It allowed me to leap into my 40's with less of a regred and more of a fresher outlook on my life. I have never heard about this guy nor his books, but this method is well known.
One of the pieces of advice I agree with is to say no more often, if it's not where you are going or where you want to go say no to it no matter the cost!
Warren Buffett attributes that skill as a key aspect of success.
I’ve been 60 years old for a week now.
Looking back 60 years l can’t fail now!🤗
My list is almost complete.
I'm only 6 months behind ya. 60 is the new 40:)
I'm 37 but I will apply this to my life immediately, thanks a lot sir for the advice.
You are very welcome, I hope it helps you!
Many of this lessons are also valuable in other phases of life. I am close to 57 and had to recalibrate my life several times, mostly by circumstainces outside the direct influence sphere. As Ken point out, you don't need to wait for that to happen, you can take more then you think, your life into your hands and recalibrate your life. Another thing, people tend to go for "Happiness" where the real value of life is more the "meaningfullness". You can't be happy all the time. Doing something like taking care of an ill relative for a longer time can be tough, but the value for you and your relative can be priceless. If you find yourselve meaningfull in what you do, your work, your relations, the community you are part of and use that as a domain where you make the list of most important things you want to concentrate on then you can you can regain management over your own life.
If heres someone struggling with addiction, I can just recommend from personal experience make getting rid of it your first priority. Otherwise it will takey away so much time and energy from your other goals ❤
Yessss! Congratulations if u broke free and if u are still trying, keep going!,❤
Finally! This is the first video I’ve seen for someone in my age range. I’m a little younger compared to most (38) but I think about my 40’s because it’s right around the corner. Thank you for this
I am so glad you liked it! I have more videos coming!
I am turning 38,and yes 40 is just around the corner.
Such a simple and fantastic video. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your amazing comment! Best wishes to you
Sometimes it takes ten years to realize that past experiences are not in vain. Sometimes, the dots connect and become the guiding lines of our lives.So, I always focus on what I do, and ask myself, is it my true life? Thank you for this video, it is very helpful. Arigato🙏
Needed this advice badly!! Thank you so much 🙏🙏
I am so glad it helps you! Please feel free to check out my other videos too, I think you will like them
Thank you. I am in my early 40s and I feel like I am drowning in tasks. Combine that with regret of things I did not do when I was younger, and now I live with constant sense of panic.
Gets worse and worse if you DON'T start doing all that you want. Don't panic, start the action!
Figure out your priorities and practice saying no. You can do it!
@@kenhondaofficial How do I figure out what my true priorities are? I have cPTSD and due to constant panic and fear a bad sense of self and need some orientation and help to know where and how to search to find my priorities.
Thank you so much!! This comes at such a great time. I've been following your Japanese channel and have been watching all of your videos in Japanese but I'm so excited that I found your English channel so now I can share with my husband!
That's great, thank you! Please feel free to share with anyone else you think would be interested!
Best video I watched all day! Thank you for this
Wow, that is so great to hear! Please feel free to check out my other videos I think you will like them
Tqvm brother Ken Honda. Priceless nuggets of wisdom. Much gratitude for the reminder and advice 🏆🏆🏆
Thank you for this video❤
You are so welcome!
Great video! Thank you Sir!
Thank you very much!
Thank you!
You are very welcome Dave!
Even if you have the "right priorities" you never know if they will lead to success. So you are left with no money, no time and just frustration and regret that you didnt try something else.
Agree... how to know that you choose the right priorities?
@@tripiknikwatch the video again or buy his book.
I know my priorities but I didn't get from the video how to choose the "right" order that will guarantee success. ?
Notice he's talking about feeling accomplished, not necessarily being financially successful.
@@mona5713 I would say, in my humble experience, the phrase "guaranteed success" is already a failure. Nothing can be guaranteed.
The closest we can get is to define success by our effort (which we control 100%) instead of results (which we don't control 100%).
GRACIAS KEN!!!
Gracias!
So helpful! Thank you:)
I'm so glad it helped!
best life advices I’ve ever heard
Wow, that's amazing! I have more videos, please feel free to check them out
Thank you Mr. Honda, that was really quite useful, sir.
That's great to hear Nathan! Please feel free to share with anyone who you think would benefit 😊
You are amazing Support and Inspiration 👍👍👍
I am so glad it helps you!
Thank you Sir Ken
Thank you!
Thank you, sir. This was incredibly insightful. …I’m “there” right now. A little over a year ago, I somehow found the courage to leave my day job and build a business. It was the best decision I ever made. You’re right. There’s tremendous power in learning how to say “no.” It makes the power of one’s “yes” miraculously more powerful.🙏✌️
That's great Daniel! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🙏
I just told myself that I can do it all alone and today morning I get this recommendation, that’s the power of algorithm.
Great advice
Thank you very much!
Thank you sir 🙏
You are very welcome!
That's me! ❤
Very insightful
I'm glad it was helpful!
Thanks Ken, I am 57 years younger, I am definitely feeling 40, making a career change now or the universe is forcing me to, I am willing to go with the flow, been blessed to do what I love most of my life, now shifting out of Estate Management into Real Estate Investing, Stocks, Traveling the World and Love! Will keep you posted, thanks for being the best, stay blessed and let's go! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you, best wishes on your journey!
Thank you, this is good advice.
Also, you make a great automobile and reliable small engines.
I have used time management to accomplish everything that I wanted.
Amazing, your thoughts are so wise and right. It's look like virtuous circle.With your exeple of cooking because it's necessary to eat to life/survive it's possible to combine both stuff . Cooking can be taste, aesthetic too and you can make people happy with your dishes without to be a great gastronomic chief.
Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed
2:35 Thank you for harsh truth, I really really needed it!
You are welcome! Blessings to you 🙏
@KenHonda.... Arigato 🙏🇿🇦
Arigato!
Thank you Ken . Could you please translate the book to English . I appreciate all your advises.❤
I think the most undervalued goal all humans need to achieve and sustained till their last breath is healthy body ,mind and spirit, rest are just plus.. health is wealth.
Congratulations 🎉 That's a lot of books 📚 I need to write more 🎯🤗
Thank you! Best wishes on your writing journey
@2:37 "there may not be later" . Yes indeed. It's later than you think. Enjoy the now, live modestly, love unconditionally, buy life insurance if you get married or have kids if you can. Stop working so hard & being busy, cuz life may just pass you while you were too busy, or just busy worrying about life. Signed, the young widow. Great Channel, subbed!
You explain things in such a kind and simple way. I really enjoy your humble way of expressing yourself. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us! 😊
glad that you came back in the latest Fast and Furious ! resurrection !
"If I messed up the order 10 years ago"...So nice to hear these kinds of thoughts outside of my own head.
Thank you, I turned 40 last week. I've always tried to take on so much and i definitely act like I'm 30 in that I think my time is unlimited. Mr Honda, can you recommend a book to help me explore the issues you've suggested? Thank you 🙏

I’m 28 and looking to change careers, I’ve quit my job with no back up plan. But I need the push to find my next step.
I’ve also been battling an addiction that defeats all my productivity
So setting priorities has become very important, thank you for this video😊
I used to be a drug addict but now I’m high on life
You are so welcome! I am sending my best wishes to you! You can do it! 🙏✨
I am 47 it this sounds very true!
I am glad it resonated with you!
Just bought your book. I'm always fascinated with books about money and never came across yours. Thank you for sharing your knowledge :P
Thank you! I hope you love it
I'm Abt your age and just discovering this. Actually it's quite exciting...lol...I have to teach myself to chill out.❤️❤️❤️
口语很不错呢
I am 47 . I am happy but Never satisfied.
Sadly I have no real friends around me so I could share with them these moments
thank you Mr Ken - the pressure starts to pile up fast especially with society expectations
You are welcome! Figure out your priorities and learn to say no!
KEN i just love this I can't say No.,I learned so much Now ,I get used for not saying No ,At this moment I desire a house thats what I am focusing on now ,Thank you Ken for your encouragement 🙏 ❤
You are welcome!
Good advice man! Are you still in Japan? I'm a British 40 yr old living in Fukuoka.🎉
I’m not worried everyone wants me to be
I find saying no to others quite easy, its saying no to myself which is the hard part, As I have so many ideas I go round in circles not getting much done. I have to become even more disciplined by cutting off things I enjoy that i know wont pay off in the longer run. Great video Ken
Thank you, best wishes on your journey!
Well, you don't know it wont pay off. You assume. And probably you'll be right in most of the time. But... life is hard to predict sometimes.
Loved this guy in Street fighter 2
Arigaato :) Honda. from India with love.
Arigato! Blessings to you in India
This logic sounds correct. I can listen to this a few times and it sounds like a great plan to follow.
But the problem is sticking to it the weeks months and years
For that to happen, your message would have to resonate deep into my soul into my core
And so then this is all just content to steal and drain my attention whether you purposely do this or not
Dad said I think this content is better than most out there just I don’t have the fantasy of believing it will change anything for me
Cool hair
Lotssss of lov my darling ❤
Nice video, Ken.
I'm glad you liked it!
This is a powerful message that I very much have been needing to assimilate for a while now. Thank you for sharing it with such grounded and accepting energy.
I am so glad it resonated with you!
Hey Ken, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos better than your Editor with good pricing and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?
Time is speeding up.
Do the work you were called to do NOW,
before time is up!
Yes! Don't wait
Where can I get that exact arrangement of flowers please?
I fukced up my priorities - lost my job my parents over $1M in retirement savings n now at 61 in poor health. Wish I’d seen this video 10 years or even 5 years ago.
What do I do with things that I enjoyed, grown strong with, and became my identity, main source of income, and 80% of my life, but now I depise it and want something new?
It's true ☝️ and thanks 🙏❤😮.
Thanks for sharing this powerful message 🙏.
I am happy 😁 and grateful to God for the free gift of life 🙏❤️💯.
I am happy 😁 and grateful to God for my husband,my children, my family ❤️, relationships, uncommon favor upon my life 🙏 in the Name of Jesus Christ 💕🙏😮
The younger you do this, the better.
I remember Ken's brother 'E'
He was a bad ass too 😂
You can do it all, but not at once. ☝🏿🧐

"If you cannot say No, yoir Yes becomes meaningless" Brilliant! I appreciate your presence as well, so relevant and smart and reassuring to us.
I'm a singer, 60 years of age. I look 40 and feel 20 with a heart of Gold and Fire. So the time available for me on the planet of primary importance in my reflection.
Thank you for reminding me to focus on what I want to accomplish the most, because I cant do everything im thinking of, which is a lot!!! 😂
I feel though that if I organize the best combos of actions in the best state of being, with the Love of God guiding me, I can accomplish Wonders, just like you did! Am I arrogant ?😅 I don't know but it felt amazing to communicate with you today... Sending much Love your way from France 🇫🇷💓😘💓😘💓😘💓😘💓😘💓
Thank you for your amazing comment! You can do it!
I don’t want to do it all, just want a livable wage where you can plan and keep dates and events because you still have gas money to get there.
I need all kinds of help
Im 43. I use to think I had plenty of time, but you just do some math and 43 is halfway. I have become more realistic with with how much I can do in a day, week, year.
40 is the new 30....retirement age will become decade later in the 70s and people are living longer...more women are even having babies in their late 30s early 40s..
I only pay my bills and take care of my health. Idk what that other shit is.
Namaste from Nepal 🇳🇵🙏
Ken San,
I' am from Nepal and I am 53...
My dream is I want to save the village of Nepal and village of Japan...
Do you have a solutions for me...?
Thank you 🙏
i don't want to do it all. That's what other people are for
that is TERRIBLE Advice to tell people to give up on/"letting go of" the things they MAY Not have time to do and only focus on three things..
be yourselves folks and always keep the hopes YOU Want to do in your heart and you might find a way to do them
it's YOUR Life to decide and yes there may not be a later but who knows you might have time
ignore this guy, he sells books based on the fact people are looking for answers
but trust YOUR OWN Heart and try your best to be YOU!
