I wasted my 20s...

#selflove #success #selfdevelopment

today we discuss the dangers of wasting your 20s and how it can negatively affect you in your 30s

Take it from a seasoned man in his 50s. If you don't have any children, you have nothing to worry about. It's fine if you spend the next 2 years living under a bridge. When you get ready to make your big move, you will, and all of your experiences in life will prove themselves valuable.

You aren't a failure due to not having a car, house, or business. Those are hollow status symbols. You're a failure because you've given up on yourself.

I'm 27 and trying to make the most of the last three years. I still hate that I wasted these past several years, it's daunting.

Daniel I am pretty sure anybody who just worked and was “productive” their whole 20s will also think they wasted it and would have preferred spending more time travelling and being free like you did. People always want what they don’t have or didn’t do.

[ImperialWarrior]

You're not alone, at least you learnt Japanese, I spent my whole 20s severely obese and locked up in my room. Naturally I am 38 now and still severely behind others and no one wants a bar of me

30 is the new 20 Daniel. Don't let your peers drag you down.

Being skinny youthful looking and healthy is better than millions

Have you wasted your 20s though? You did exactly what you wanted and not what was expected of you. Perhaps you’re feeling negative now as you’re comparing yourself to others who are deemed “successful” by socitey. One of the admirable qualities of yours is leaving jobs, relationships and anything that didn’t serve you. You always chose yourself and you should be proud of yourself for that

Like you said in your video, Youre going to Japan AGAIN and not gonna do noting. So my question is: Why are you going to Japan then?
Just a waste of money and more time in your life, right? with this video you got to the conclusion that you wasted your 20s with this BS and youre going there again another mistake.... THIS IS INSANE

Whenever I feel bad, I look at this guy's channel and feel instantly better.

How can this guy be so be full of pity for himself?

Its never too late to learn a new skill and many courses are online so you never need to go to a college or uni. 30s is still young, you just need commitment.

Hi, Daniel. You're my age and you reeeally don't look it. The first thing you should realize is that most guys don't really get their stuff together until their 30s. There are so many people on youtube that have fallen into the trap of feeling like they've wasted their youth by their 30s because of how the internet has groomed us to feel like how we should be by a certain age. Just relax and go at your own pace. I just got my driver's license at 35, found my first real job, got my first car, and went on a date for the first time in my life. There are soooo many people our age going through this, so just know that you're not alone. The reflecting that you're doing is a good thing, as it tends to be a good motivator. Just use that as a tool to work your way towards something more tangible, and don't try to force or rush anything. You still have plenty of time to get your life in order, dude. This is coming from a guy who had a total mental breakdown at 34 and felt the same way you were feeling.

I have just turned 40 and i can tell you that your 30's are the last decade you have to be and feel young (in my experience) Once you hit 40, it's over, you are now officially old and out of the youth era. So my advise to you is to really enjoy these last few years of being young, rather than look back regretting and being negative. Accept where you are at and go have fun, sleep around, party, explore and enjoy being young, because after 40 you have to start making more responsible life decisions. Also, you're extremely young looking for your age, so that is a nice advantage to have over most people.

At least you got to be with a lot of women in your 20s. I’m 25 and I’ve always only lived for the future, which has served me well since I was able to buy a property. But I’ve only ever had one relationship in my life, which ended over 4 years ago. And I have zero idea how I’ll ever manage to attain another relationship. I work from home and rarely leave my house. Going on ten days straight without leaving the house now. Just because I am financially savvy and have adequately set myself up for the future does not make me any more fulfilled than you are right now. I work so that one day I may have enough saved and invested to do what you are already doing now, going to japan every year and never having to work a real job. I am taking a 15 day trip to Japan this year but someday I want to be able to stay for months like you. It’s easy to complain about what we don’t have in life, and I think you should be grateful for what you do have. You have experiences traveling that most people could only dream of, and you have a supportive family who has always been there for you despite everything you have done. Besides it doesn’t matter that you don’t own any assets since you’ll inherit your mum’s million dollar house someday. And you’ve lived a lot more exciting life than I ever will.

I thought I would never age too but when you get close to 40 reality hits you

[LawandMathematics]

Perfect timeline: 18-22 get a degree, 22-28 work and make money, 28-35 invest the money you made with your job and look for financial freedom.

[blakedott]

Imagine if you left your japan chapter to when you turned 40 definitely wouldn't have been as fun.

[franzhaas]

As a person who was kind of in your situation.
Don't compare yourself to others.
Don't dwell too much on the past.
Be grateful every day
Never compromise your Is core values.
And start journaling your thoughts.
Peace.

Ambition doesn't get you anywhere in life. Most people who pretend to have achieved something because of ambition are actually trustfund babies who bought their success with daddy's money.
Everyone ages, and everyone is unhappy about it. If you had a good time when you were young, be glad about it. Many people don't even get that.

It’s okay Daniel I am also wasting my 20s as we speak and just enjoy life the way you want to do.
