I’m 79 and have connected with a new purpose through the diagnosis of a dear friend and a cousin with Alzheimer’s. Now learning to be a group facilitator for caregivers. This is a new lease on life for me.

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

[eddiegarciajr]

I’m 32 years old, married, no children yet, and still haven’t figured out what I want to do for the rest of my adult life. I can’t find a focus, trade, or plan. I don’t know what I want in a job/career. I do know that I want financial stability, job security, & a growing field that will still matter 25 years from now.

I am 43 and I started to study for my dream job.

I feel very lucky to have been able to find my purpose very early. As I grow I see more and more people who feel lost and my gratitude grows.

"It's not an intellectual thing, it's visceral, it's emotional, it's physical."

"You feel that things are easy, everything clicks together, there's a delight."

"Energy and motivation can come from either pressure, desire for something or desire to get away from something."

Love Robert Green. So much to learn from him. Read most of his books. Makes you understand yourself and others

[andrewmacdonald]

This guy's books changed the way I see the human world around me and the way I operate within it. Thanks, Robert!

[barbaralopez]

Thank you Mr. Huberman - I really needed to hear this today - I am 69 and have been self employed successfully for 25 years. Downsizing now semi retiring - feeling lost before I listened to these wise words - will continue doing what I love being self employed but on a much slower and smarter basis - Thank you again for sharing your time with humanity - Namaste!

One of the best clips I’ve ever watched ❤

[MatthewChrisisOfficial]

This was very informative and inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

[newday]

Some very good insights in this clip. I find it to be much more difficult to find the new path your life needs to go later in life. Many distractions through the years. Makes sense to look back to when you were young, when our likes and feelings were natural.
I also agree somethings moves us good or bad, to let us know we need to change direction or our course.
We can only hope to achieve the feeling that we are swimming on course. Great clip

[MuscleBandit]

You guys are fascinating to watch, the mutual enthusiasm and respect is inspiring.

[samar]

Amazing! love Robert Green. very informative discussion

[deltawave]

I'm mid life, and I have been feeling pretty much at a loss for what to do with myself, navigating internal conflict; healing from a pretty traumatic upbringing and still haven't figured out my 'life's task' (except for a love for nature and becoming a horticulturist, obtaining an official diploma document only to realize I cant do it forever, also health care) thinking about what to do next alot of my waking life and feel so grateful for the time I've been able to spend just healing and listening and learning about self-optimation / self love practices. yet here still, with this incessant need to make money for some reason...I have decided to do something practical, & discipline inducing, & feel with enough determination/ dunno about 'swimming with the current' but I hope to hell I feel a sense of success & accomplishment when I get there.

[hhevfjf]

I regularly listen to the words from coaches “you are unique”, but I was almost bursted in tears when I’ve heard this on first minutes of this video!! It is something ❤

[rrohmdr]

Great talk! Congrats! This enlightens us on this primary question of life purpose.😀

[heytherebarry]

I feel as though I have found my life's purpose, I wrote my first children's book during the pandemic, I hired an illustrator and worked with an editor to get it to a standard I'm really proud of. Then I hit a wall...supply chain, business development, PR, sales strategy 😑I find all these things so complicated. Whereas the creative side of things, I find myself in a flow, I alreday have three other stories started, all of which interlink. But the business side of things makes me question whether this truly is my purpose.
