    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"

    I learned this from Dr. Scott Eilers here on KZread… If you don’t feel happy either way, why not just do the healthier option?

    Happiness is different from contentment. Happiness is a temporary and fleeting feeling we get from accomplishing a short term goal, whereas contentment is being able to live with the choices you’ve made and feel fulfilled going down the path you’re going down. The ticking of life’s clock makes you feel like you have to do everything all at once, but that impossible in a lifetime.

    i'm 21 and i've always wanted to be an artist and a musician. i didnt go to college. right after high school, during the pandemic, my dad started getting sick due to parkinson's. i was at home working and saving money, and 3 1/2 years of this went by. during this time i watched my parents' dynamic more closely and realized my dad was very controlling and manipulative. in the middle of it we moved states and i was hundreds of miles away from my friends that were helping me through it. i just watched him get worse and watched my parents make each other miserable, and had no hope for myself or my family. now my parents are divorced and my dad's in an assisted living home with professional carers, and it's just me, my mom, and my little sister at home. i feel like my head's still spinning from all of it and i compare myself to my friends graduating college and i feel so behind. i'm also just now learning how to drive and that's been challenging. i feel like every day's just a stumble in the dark. it's nice to read your comment and remember that i'm not the only one feeling this way, and i admire your resolve to make a change. i wish you the best, this will be a better year for both of us :)

Get yourself signed up to your college and have your name down for apprenticeships, go to their open evenings and meet people and talk to people there, they will help too. They will contact you and see if you are interested when they become available. Depending on your age, it might take a year or 2 to find one. That Gov site is very good though.

    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.

    Can confirm this. Don't get me wrong, I still don't have my life fixed, but having suffered from bad depression, self-esteem and anxiety from the age of 13 all the way into my adulthood - until I almost killed myself when I was 24 - stepping out of the comfort zone makes a huge change. Starting with just going outside daily and sweating balls when I take my dog for a walk and some strangers stop by to pet her(not even kidding, this would geve me severe panic attacks), to saying hi and trying to make small talks with cashiers, to going to the gym, going back to work from office and so on. I still remember the first time I went to work from office after Covid. My voice was muffled and I was choking from anxiety, and all I could think was "Holy shit, everyone is listening to me speak right now". But the thing is, you adjust quickly, and every next challenge is that much easier after a while. You absolutely have to build resilience If you don't have it already. I'm now getting my driver's license at 27, something I've been terrified of for years. But in the end I was so mad at myself that I just decided to save some money, go out there and apply for driving lessons. Naturally, I was sweating balls when I went to the first lecture, but by the time I sat behind the wheel for the first time, I was like "Ehh, whatever, lets just do this." I'm about a week away from the final exam, when I'll be driving for real to get my license. I'm not even stressed about it. Main lesson learned: JUST DO IT.

    Im 27 too, I got kicked put of my public health career at school last year. I was 6 classes away from graduating. I was cancelled and I know it was unfair. Im studying and taking nursing classes because I mostly have science classes but devoting time into this career is making me more depressed and angry everyday. It takes time away from my music writing, from going to the gym, and from cooking healthy meals. Before the semester I was working with my dad getting paid $500 a week and I was managing life like that, I was more happy because I had time to do the things I wanted to do. Now I don’t have time and im constantly reminded that im studying nursing because public health was unfair to me. The worst thing is I busted my ass in fall 2023 and I got $2,000 from financial aid for the spring but I decided not to enter school in the spring and I had to return that money which was a bonus for getting good grades in the fall. Now in the summer I have to pay $70 instead of getting those $2,000 that were mine to begin with. I hate this school dude, each day im closer to dropping out and pursuing my personal goals more and more, I feel they can turn into work goals, I don’t need a certificate, just the common knowledge.

    I'm 27 in an Eastern European homeless shelter. I'm lucky to have internet and a phone. At 22 I was an intern in a tech company as a frontend dev. It doesn't work out for everybody. I tried and grinded for 3 years to make it, ended up addicted on amphetamine and MDMA to be able to study as much as I can to catch up to the real programmers and it ruined my life. I'm not that guy who study every stack and uni sh!t, grit isn't enough, this is the truth. You are talented and an entrepenuer inside. I could never record my face giving advice or start a company. I suck at business and wages here are so low you just can't make ends meet alone by yourself. I lost my passion after realizing the soul sucking reality of the corporate cubicle work, paired with their greed to manipulate you into doing 3 positions for the wage for 1. I wish others to achieve their IT dream, but I'm one of those self made devs who silently failed.

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.

    I appreciate this man and everyone in the comments willing to share. You realize you’re not alone, some people struggle earlier in life and later. I’m 29 I’ve been saying I was 30 since I was 27 because I felt like it was a mile stone and in severe decline it just felt like a blur that I really messed up the cut off. You get this idea that you are the only one you’re just not. Everything is figure out able. You may have doubts again in the future that’s ok. Keep pressing like a mantra.

    24 here, do things anything but do not stay stagnant hop job learn new things and quit when you stop benefiting and stop learning when you feel stuck upgrade. Since I was 15 I’ve worked and only switched jobs when I found better pay and only took a pay cut when I wanted the experience and knowledge that came with the new job but whatever you do never get stuck learn enough about money read books I’m 24 and spent all that time not knowing what I wanted out of a career but had a burning desire to be financially wealthy and able to provide for those who have provided for me. At 24 I’ve learned all I needed to upgrade to the biggest leap yet and got the balls to risk it on a valuable skill I believe will let me run my future full throttle. Truth is never stop figuring it out you’ll never figure it out but that’s the trick your always finding the new way forward is the way to go keep moving never stay still never get stuck

The part that gets me feeling really lost is that im not sure what I can achieve that would accualy have greater meaning, so that when Im at the end I know I lived a fulfilling life.

    I'd had a lot of struggles early in university because I was so directionless. Job hopping around led me back to university after I really got passionate about software engineering. It does suck because I had full scholarships originally for college and could have gotten my degree pretty much debt free, but I blew my chance and had to get student loans anyway after going back. The loans suck, but I was able to get through it and it's better than working some of the crappy jobs I used to work before my degree.

I recently started working again which is good but I'm not earning enough and I just feel like garbage almost all the time because I know I could have done better. My goal is to work in IT in some capacity because I love computers and most of all I love software. I would love to help people with software problems, whether it is physically walking to their computer and fixing the problem for them, or what ever it may be. I just want to get in to IT so bad and this video has helped me so much. I will forever be grateful for the words of wisdom man because I finally found my drive for greatness.

I, like a lot of you I assume, am highly competitive which also means I compare myself and base my success on everyone around me, which I believe is a bad thing (comparison is the thief of joy). But, if you think how I do and are always comparing yourself to others, think of it this way: me watching this video gives me miles in front of alot of other 23 yo. Same if you’re 25, 26, 28, the point is the fact that you are CONSCIOUS that you don’t have much time even tho in reality we have more than most, already puts you in a much better place compared to if you WEREN’T aware of your time.

But I know that's all subjective. I tried real estate but got screwed over by the guy I was working with in December. And buying and selling cars which I'm going to start doing again soon. With rising inflation and the taxes going up it's been rough out here. I just don't know what to do anymore.
