Why I'm an Existentialist

#Minimalism #Minimalist

In this video I talk about why I consider myself an existentialist, and why that's sort of a good thing.

Hey everyone. My name is Nick and here on my channel we talk about minimalism, and ways of living an intentional life. If you don't mind me talking your ear off once a week about this topics, and you liked this video, consider subscribing to the channel. See you next time

I strongly believe that this is one of the best videos you have ever created for this channel. Simply amazing.

Cats are definitely the most existential of all pets, and yours definitely seems quite interested in it. 😻😂😁

[DemetriPanici]

Your way of thinking is intriguing and definitely what I vibe with Nicholas!

Doing things that we want and the fact that we could choose how we spend our time is just so empowering.I ❤ this video

This reminds me of a Mark Twain quote: _"In my life there were many tragedies, and some actually happened."_

And also this one by Stoic Epictetus: _“Seek not for events to happen as you wish but rather wish for events to happen as they do and your life will go smoothly.”_

Easier said than done. But I think you're on the right track here, by focusing on eliminating expectations + accepting that things might happen that you didn't plan/want. Still work in progress for me. I find that when money is tight (for example, if a big expense comes up), I can paint all kinds of doom scenarios in my head about how I'll be broke soon etc. So then it helps me to exercise and slow down, try to see the bigger picture, and if all else fails: just go to bed, tomorrow is another day!

Interesting to see a bit of philosophy on your channel, I definitely resonate with quite a bit of what you've said here. And plants! Glad to see the plants. I'm a minimalist, but I can't have enough plants haha

Great lesson today…. Could have used this about four decades ago.

Great Video, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!!!!

[Giuseppe_Paolillo]

That's an interesting point of view. I personally wanted really bad a career but as I grow older and reach my 30' I am starting to appreciate more working to create passive incomes and get financial freedom asap in life to spend the time that you have how you really want to.

At the end of the day, our time is limited here. When you realize this, excessive money over what makes you comfortable lose a lot of value.

Better explanation of the concept than 2 college philosophy classes. I loved this video and your cat!

I like your new color grading. And have you gotten a new mic? I'm not sure I agree totally with the idea of not letting other people tell you what to do - there are circumstances in which it is important to listen to others and follow their lead for the greater good, but I mostly like the message. Other than the imagery of a cookie with the words "unplanned or unwanted." It is a COOKIE for goodness' sake!
