One thing my old man taught me was life is not about being happy but being content.
If you find contentment then happiness will follow.

[Check_your_head]

Thank you for opening up about these topics...I know many, including myself, have the same feelings and thought as you. You're a good man John.

I'm in my late 40s, got separated at 40 and I've lived the crazy single dating life for a few years while self-improving in many areas at the same time. To be honest I had a blast! Met so many new people, dated my fair share of younger ladies and experienced first hand the abundance you have when you're in top of your game as man, even being older.
But to be honest it came a time when it just wore out for me, I wanted to feel a deeper connection with someone and who knows maybe start a new family and that's exactly what I did and I couldn't be happier.
Each one to his own of course, but very honestly family and blood legacy is what gave me the purpose in life - it's not just about myself anymore.

I moved to Latin America 7 years ago (I'm 57 now), and one important thing it taught me is that we North Americans obsess about life far too much. People down here know that life is short and they just roll with it. North Americans take their lives too seriously.

I love the transparency and how you show your ability to be social. I am not where i envisioned myself to be at this stage in life and unfortunately, i dont see much of a way to leave it for a while, but the goal is to become content with where you are in life. When one is content, it allows one to truly enjoy their life.

[Gent.Z]

Although I'm a lot younger than your normal audience, I could relate to a lot of what you said in this video. Like you, I also left a long-term relationship a few months ago and have been spending a lot of time doing things by myself to build up my social circle and stay busy. Good luck with your surgery and the meet-up

[gabby]

I"m a therapist and I watch your channel a lot. Better Health has recruited me many times btw. I think its important to be ok being alone and able to enjoy yourself. Time alone allows for reflection. Dating is great but it can be a distraction. Best of luck!

[scottorsini]

I just think it’s really cool that you’re making yourself vulnerable, it shows a lot of strength

[RainerMirau]

if you ask yourself "am i happy", then you are not. i think its the wrong question, happiness is not a goal. its a byproduct. better questions are: "what is my passion, do i follow it?", "am i true to myself, do i accept and love myself?", "am i authentic", "do i try to impress others".

[Wildmutationblu]

It's great that you are getting outside and enjoying life. I love your opening up videos and it makes you more appealing, letting your subscribers know more about you. Please keep making them.

[SimonChambers]

good luck with the surgery, and thank you for sharing your experiences, both positive and less so, about your life as it exists today. Hoping you continue to be healthy and content with who you are and what you're doing!

[dennisclanton]

Thanks for sharing. Its great you put yourself out there which imo can help others.

[Theo-ulqm]

Enjoyed this one John!
To add my 2 cents - I think any 'should' question only makes sense in relation to a goal. If going out so much, or dating, or whatever you do, supports your goals, than you should keep doing it. If not, you shouldn't.
And regarding the question of whether you go out so much in order to not 'deal with' a relationship that ended, I would answer that question with a question: when is the last time sitting alone in a house ever worked for someone in getting over a relationship ending? I don't think that's a good strategy at all.

[r.vazquez]

Another great honest and upfront video. Be yourself and be happy. I’m not one of those you only live once kind of people but take care of yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually. Life is a balance. Be good to yourself and those you care about.

[LawrenceBeals]

Freedom is its own form of shackles. Fully retired at 47 and now 64, I am sure my life looks a right mess from the outside but my dog and I are content and at the end of the day that is what matters.

[chrisb]

Thanks for sharing John - I can certainly relate to a lot of the thoughts you have as someone in late 40s divorced, therefore single. Always expected to be married with kids in my 30s. My main solace is looking around to people I grew up with etc that got married. Very few couples actually made it.

[pistolp]

Amigo, as always, I value, respect, and appreciate your candor. The point of these words is to make you aware of the great work you are doing with your life's introspection. Remember, those who search will find, keep asking yourself all and any questions, the answer is within you. Be well.

Always keep celebrating your life, SALUD

[bryngolden]

I want to start off by saying that I really appreciate your transparency. We know that it's not happy all the time. Life happens.
I don't think you are hiding from your feelings and emotions. And here's why. You say that you are self aware. Just that statement will keep you self checked. That statement leads to action. Something else to consider is that you seem extroverted. You like to go out and be around people. You're doing something for you to bring joy and peace.
It seems that you are living the life you want that you made. Do we get lonely at times? Sure. We're herd animals by nature. Doesn't mean your depressed or avoiding issues.
I appreciate your channel!

7:55 I went through hernia surgery two years ago at 40. It was L5S1. Now I am good. I lost a lots of years suffering from hernia 😢

[lorisbarbieri]

Well John it seems to me you have your priorities in order. You work hard and you reap the rewards of that hard work. Nothing wrong with going out and enjoying life, that’s what life is all about.
Great video as always.
Thanks.
