I just turned 24 this month and this is exactly how I feel. Been in a panic and stress because I feel like I’m Running out of time. All I do is go to work and home, that’s it. No friends, no relationship, no sense of direction on what I wanna do with my life. Feel like I’m so behind

The one thing that demotivates me the most is the voice in my head that tells me "even when you get there, you still won't be happy, so why bother putting in the effort anyway"

21 here, didn’t go to college but seeing all my high school mates going to college and already graduating or other friends that didn’t go to college knowing what they want being the same age as me does something to me and feels pretty shitty. I was directionless up until late February of 24, gonna finally start doing what I think is best for me. Let’s see where life takes me by the end of the year. Good luck to you all out there, you’ll find your path just keep pushing through. May God bless you all

Im 23. 2 years off meth. I'm not interested in coding or being at a computer much at all BUT your content is still super relatable as I try to become a nurse.

Brother, I’m 24 years old, and I feel so alone and scared of life at times. There days when I feel highly motivated, and my actions reflect that and I accomplish things and behave in ways that I’m proud of, but the uncertainty of the consequences of my behaviors always frightens me, the questioning if “am i on the right path?” But hearing your story really puts into perspective that action with the intent of learning and growth is always greater than inaction. And to act and fail is better than to not have acted at all. Thank you for this video. I can’t say I’ll never feel down, alone or scared again, but this video pushed me a step further today. Thank you.

Im 26, was an opioid and heroin addict for 7 Years. Clean since 1, 5 years and Fullstack Spring Boot Developer since 7 Months. But still struggle with relapses every few months and still not feeling "healed". But there is no other direction than to keep fighting for me.

I'm 25. I'm a patient advocate at a hospital and get paid good money. I always wanted to be in the film industry but working full time dwindled my inspiration for making short films again. Thank for you planting the seed that'll motivate me again to do what I love.

I’m 26. this month makes it a year of being out of prison. Went in when I was 23. lost a lot of hope in achieving my goals. Lies were put against me and the justice system failed to see my innocence. recently I regained hope learning from the experience. I learned you have to play the cards you are dealt, smart. love your videos. They are really inspiring.

my advice at 31 is get living, dont rot in one place if you're doing so

[yasminessam]

I wasted a lot of my 20th working and working and working it didn't get me anywhere, single, no career, living with my parents

24. Barely getting my shit together. Got into a good music school (first semester) and I want to be a teacher and conductor. Studying with a famous opera singer. At 18 I had no idea what the hell I wanted to do. I never had guidance. Most of my teachers said I’d be a loser. Sometimes I feel so lost and discouraged but things take time. I’m also 4 hours away from all my family and friends for the first time living on my own. It sucks and it’s scary but I’m here for a reason.

This is the whole idea of being comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you make sure to step out your comfort zone every day, doing so will give you satisfaction and in the end build a resilience towards the uncomfortableness, often times small things can translate to some of the biggest moves in the future. If you get used to stepping out your comfort zone and you get used to failing it will only make doing new things that much easier and that much more beneficial for you. I try to tell my ‘anti social’ friends that its possible no matter who or what you claim you are, go out and step out your comfort zone even if its just saying hi to a crush.

mid 20s been watching your vids for a little while now. I am similar to you in the sense I am a HS dropout and grew up in a unfortunate household. these videos are very valuable.

Thanks for the advice on hard work and risk taking!

I’m not really one to comment under YouTube videos, but I wanted to take the liberty to pay my regards to your efforts. I somehow connect with every single word you convey, which gives me a sense of sincerity coming from your side. It feels like you’re an older brother who genuinely wants good for us. Thank you.

25 years old. Just lost my job. I have 2 college degrees but yet I feel like a failure. So much I want to do, and that I know I can do. But it’s just hard for me right now.
