I FEEL LIKE I'M WASTING MY LIFE : 30 years with nothing to show for it.

Do you often get the feeling that you should have accomplished something by a certain age? That if you don't have a Nobel peace prize or a trilogy published with Penguin, then you're useless?
I used to. Or rather, I realize that I don't have to feel that way, and there's a way you can too.
The pursuit of happiness in 2020 seems to dictate that if you're thirty years old and unmarried, or thirty and single, or you're restarting your life at 30, then you've failed. That to feel lost and confused is normal.
What if it wasn't?
In this video, I share my journey with disappointing the people I cared about, feeling like birthdays are everything ( then nothing), and coming to my own definition of "I'm an adult now."
I don't think there's an age where you suddenly become an adult. It's a process of events. Actions. These actions start with thoughts. Often our thoughts can guide even how we feel - about everything, including feeling lost and confused.
What have I accomplished today? What have I accomplished this year? Or since I was born? Those are legitimate questions. The fact that you're asking them means you want more out of this life.
You want to live - not just pass through.
I hope you find the ideas in this video useful as you plow your way through it. Sometimes, all we need is perspective.
Thank you for watching.

    Indeed we struggle with purposelessness in life because without God life is purposeless. I understand how you feel, I also faltered all my way through my education, leading to deep despair and depression. That is normal for a life lived without the grace of God. But there is a hope which is the gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel is this, that Christ died to be a sacrifice for sin, so that whoever puts their faith in Him stands forgiven of their sin before God. And what is sin? Sin is evil as exposed by the commandments of God: lying, stealing, adultery in your body or in your mind, coveting things or people that belong to others, taking God's name in vain, dishonouring parents, we all know our own guilt. Our unhappiness in this world is the absence of God in our lives. God has appointed a day to judge the world, and now He calls all to repent and so be saved, not merely from purposelessness but from His wrath against our sin. This is the great gift of the gospel, don't come to God merely to have purpose, but to be healed of evil and saved from this cursed world and judgement. Those who put their faith in Jesus will have life, more than just purpose, Christ died to bring those washed in His blood to God, to be received as children of God, the free gift of the gospel. Repent and believe! Please read this to get more detail. www.desiringgod.org/books/for-your-joy And get a bible and start reading! God bless!

    Paris, I can't even begin to imagine. We may have similar stories but our experiences are definitely unique. I can't compare my pain to yours and vice-versa. What I've come to understand (or at least, I'm trying to accept), is that the ups and downs work together. We should be grateful when we get the ups because we know how the downs feel like. And we should be appreciative of the lessons when we get the downs because of what the ups feel like. To take a "boring" example, I don't enjoy cooking. But I love good food. So, whenever I have to cook, I have to hack my brain to think of why I'm doing this and what I'll get out of it. It helps me plan, make my list, get to the store, drive (which I'd rather not 😅), cook, then WAIT for my food. I don't enjoy it. But I know it's for someone I love : me. When I'm eating, I cherish every bite - even when it tastes terrible 😅 I think that's how life is : we enjoy it by being fully present both up and down. If you need to cry, do it. If you need to laugh, go for it. We're humans, with a full range of emotions. It's easy to feel like nothing is working when we don't look at what is working. There's always something working. Even if that's your lungs, arms, eyes, legs, etc. I'm not saying that what you're going through is easy. On the contrary. It's because it's hard that you have to look even harder for the good things around you. I'll make a video soon about being stuck and the next steps to take. I feel it's a video I wish I had when I was in my twenties. Hell, I wish I had it now that I'm about to turn 31 and still figuring things out. I wish you the best, Paris ! And let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

It will only become worse with the years, and this is not a good life by any means. If I had a normal family and someone to push me to develop skills through the years things would be different... But if's and but's don't hold water in this world, nobody cares at all. We gotta get a grio on life bro. Hell is a real place, and I feel like I'm heading there FAST. I have every reason to just give up life has been cruel to me, but I will not. I will carry the weight proudly and tell my future kids they can do anything, if only they will not give up.

    Q Q, it's tough to be in your shoes and I need to let you know that I appreciate you taking the time to share this with me. I've had to restart at various times in my life. I restarted college three times because I didn't know what I wanted to do. Then I moved to the US, tried college and dropped out. I even had to quit my job because I was going through a rough patch. I think the beauty of being at the bottom is that you can only go up from there. What I often try to do is read stories of people who clearly had worse lives than I did, and they were able to find a way out. When I got my car accident in May of last year, I realized how important it was for me to focus on what I wanted my life to mean. It's one of those things no one can give you, not your parents, not some KZreadr on the internet (lol). I recommend, if you can, to read Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl. Of you'd like me to send you a copy, please send me an email and I'll be more than happy to talk even more and then see how I can assist even better. I wish I had someone to let me know it was okay to not know what to do with life and also to realize that because I didn't know, I could pick and choose whatever I wanted. I look forward hearing from you 😊

    37 here and still feeling this way. 12 years in a career that went nowhere. In a new career that’s not looking like it’s going to take me where I want to be... The only thing that I rely on to keep me pushing is the Lord Jesus Christ. This sense of failure and lack of real accomplishments that are life changing is the absolute worst feeling out of any other way experience. My biggest fear has always been amounting to nothing and having no legacy of being successful. *deep breath* But you just have to keep pushing, be open minded, and look for opportunities.

We will eventually die and leave this place, so, in the meantime, I will just do my best and learn all I can!

    I'm turning 28 this year. I hate everything about the life I've been building. I was an excellent student, everyone thinks that I was going to be a successful man, but here I am. Depression hits me, my ex gf treat me like garbage, dropped out university, I'm in bad shape and working on a minimum wage job. I'm constantly thinking of killing myself but something inside me tells me that maybe I could get back my life. I don't know man, maybe if I work my ass really really hard the Lord can bless me.

    My mom died last year in August and I turned 30 last February. She and I were so close that we depended on each other for emotional support and feeling safe. She was the director of my life so I got stuck in the teenager faze of life and not really growing up. When my mom died, I lost part of myself. I didn't have anyone telling me the direction to go in or planning family gatherings or just being the person I could 100% trust and depend on. This year has been a year full of regret for not figuring out what I enjoy or find hobbies. I wasted a lot of time numbing myself with video games or being on my phone all the time instead of being present and engaged with the ones I love. And I am lucky because I do have what I have and I have the people in my life who care. Everyone struggles with something, some harder than others but don't down play your own struggles. Acknowledge them, validate them and breathe. How do you get to the top? 1 setpnat a time.

    Hi Streuselsturm, I hope this isn't too forward, but I saw that your post was a month old and wanted to check in as a complete stranger. How is it going? What are you up to? Your story reflects mine in many ways. I'm 30, I have no specific education or skills, no job, no money, endless aspirations but nothing to show for them, feeling trapped by disabilities, my own mindset and childhood trauma I only now found out about... A whole lot of grief for the past and fear for the future. Am I in a fragile moment of beginning or am I going to disappoint myself again? What am I going to do? Am I strong enough to do it? How can I commit to my goals when I have no money to invest in them? Is what I have to offer, strange and disjointed, valuable at all? Every piece of information seems to be for people who already know what they want. As a therapist told me in the past, I don't even know HOW to want. I desperately need to be in unaffordable trauma therapy, too. But I think I'm making some headway for myself by learning about the science behind it independently and doing some excercises by myself. I think I'll try and dive into inner child work this year. Luckily there are some great channels on youtube for that, so if you can't afford therapy, homegrown is fine...? At least I'm learning, like you probably, that blame has no use in our lives. Sorry for the novel, I really just wanted to say I see you, thank you for daring to be vulnerable enough to share a moment of human commonality. That in itself is a massive credit to you.

    Thank you for sharing this with me, I can imagine it's not easy to do that. I don't know your circumstances, but I want to believe it is hard and you can still see that there's an alternative. I'll urge you to have hope. I read somewhere about how Brene Brown didn't become "famous" until she turned 40. As I write this, I just published a video on the channel explaining my divorce. It's the longest video I have ever edited and you can see that I'm going through a tough time. I'm now alone in a country without the person I came here for. It would be easy for me to give up, become the victim and complain all day. I have considered it, to be honest. But I am choosing to be happy. To focus on what I can do and forge ahead, not in spite of everything, but because of it. We underestimate what we can do in 5 years and overestimate what we can do in 1 year. I can only send you good vibes and wish you well because I know you have it in you to find a way to bring joy and turn your life around. You have people you love, and people who love you. Sometimes, that's all we need to move forward. Don't give up. Keep going. You'll look back and be proud of yourself. 😊❤

I met an 18 year old who was further along in life than I am. I sit at my dad's home, and wonder how my life would have been if things were different, if I had made better choices. Even though, I am going to college and trying to fix my life now,; I often wonder if my life will really change, or if my past mistakes will cost me my future. I can't go back and change what happened to me, or what I have done. All I can do is learn, and I have learned from my mistakes. I have grown into a slightly better person, but I feel like it doesn't matter. I feel my life is over. I feel like nothing I do will matter, or make any difference. I feel like a hopeless case and I don't know what to do. Thank you for sharing your story.

My degree, my relationship, my business…I have my time and energy to these things and none of them really panned out so it’s hard not to feel like I’m an incapable failure who makes bad decisions and investments. I don’t trust myself anymore and I’m so lost in life. I feel like I’ve been fed lies about life. It’s completely not what I expected and I didn’t know life could be this painful.

I have had one of those lives that make people respond with wow you're lucky to be alive, or God must have kept you around for a reason. This I think has perpetuated my feelings of not being grateful enough, or not doing whatever it was I was saved for or feeling lost and pointless. I have not had an easy life, but, I always had hope for a better future, I think that is one of my biggest problems though, I look toward a better future, but, miss the good that is in my life now. Like you said though it is an ever-changing thing and I guess all we can do is try to appreciate the good that is there now instead of focussing on what good can come from the future if things changed.

Got a decent job making decent money and had a passion in that field but now at 32 I’m going through a very tough season my mother was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer taking care of her and being there for her means the world to me. I’m engaged I have my own place I have a lot of things I’ve wanted but recently work has slowed down and it’s been a difficult time. It’s also made me realize and look is this really what I want to do for the rest of my life ? I feel lost on what I should do next. This self battle of why can’t I go after my dreams instead of following what the society standard is. It’s been a tough season but I have to remember this will not be for the rest of my life I have to trust in god that something will give but I also need to put in the work.

Should I stop?" pop in our minds many times. Personally, I use to cry, at some point I even got depressed. Especially being in an industry that shows more of the glamorous angle of things, people often assume that's the life you are living...What I've learned to do is to look at how far I've come, truly appreciate what I have and accepted that it will take time. I've been honest about my struggles especially with my family and friends because the pressure is usually higher when it's coming from them. Finally they've accepted my choices, they understand it will take time and they support me however they can.

I have a feeling you've overcome so much that many more people need to hear about someone who fought against the odds and continues to fight. Please, if you can, send me an email or message. All my links are here. I just don't want to type because sometimes, bots can crawl and grab emails and the like for spam.

I became so passive that i isolated myself thinking everthing or everyone will come to me or get better as i aged, that i will experience things as time passes by, but i was wrong. Because i've realized that we have to be intentional to be able to experience what life has to offer. Fast forward today, i found myself craving for experiences, connections with other people that i should have done these last 10 years. I feel so empty.

    Thank you Kamga for this video, I feel like I needed to listen to someone who struggles in life and knowing that I'm not alone. I'm 19 (gonna be 20 in 5 months) I still feel like I'm lost, I'm loser, and most importantly, a Failure. After I graduated High School at the age of 17 I have worked many jobs, I have went to college for one semester and dropped out the next because my professor wasn't teaching me anything and I was expected to complete a 9 chapter book by the end of fall 2020 semester and I lost faith in school. While I was working after high school, I was studying to join the US Navy and I kept making myself look stupid based off of my test scores in math and I felt like knowing that I have Autism and a Learning Disorder, I knew I was worth nothing since I learned nothing in school. School for me was like picking up a pencil and paper and doing assignments without learning anything and it was challenging knowing how much my disorders got to me and I even asked How Did I graduate with a Diploma??. I still feel lost, I have no friends in the state that I live in, My family doesn't even check up or talk to me, I feel like I'm gonna go no-where in life and somehow I feel like I already accepted that. Sorry If I'm just saying a bunch of stuff but it's just how I've been feeling after High School.

I want to quit, and just paint and draw and work on things I want to do… but I don’t trust myself, I don’t trust that I would do that. I have the fear that if I leave a job I hate, I’ll slack and do nothing even more. Life is really scary and I see everyone around me getting older and older. My parents and pets all getting older. Everything is just depressing me and making me feel worse.

    I'm only a few minutes in at this point but I wanted to comment on how you mentioning birthdays hit me because I have noticed that the older I get (I am currently older than you, that's as specific as I'll get), the more I actually dread going out to dinner with my family. I don't actually care that much about aging part of a birthday, but because at some point my dad is inevitably going to ask about what I did over the past year (my birthday is in December) and what my plans are for the next year, etc. And he's not doing it to give me a hard time, etc, but I end up feeling very defensive because I basically never have much to show, at least not anything I'm really proud of or was planning to do. I really feel like I always have plans to do things and then somehow I can never manage to get them done, or I do start to follow a certain path but then I realize that I don't actually like it. I feel like I am constantly in a state of "putting out fires" and attending to things that feel urgent that I can never seem to make significant progress with things I really *want* to do. I dunno. I'll be seeking some help soon, cause I do have ADHD and maybe there are some other things getting in my way too, but it definitely is becoming something that's bothering me a lot. I will say that I am grateful for a lot of things and that helps keep my grounded to an extent; I don't typically get too far into negativity, but I still acknowledge that even with all the things I am grateful for, I still feel like there's so much I could be doing, if I only I knew what that was.... if that makes any sense. P.S. - I also appreciate that you have the impulse of self-development instead of getting stuck in negativity. The idea of putting things in perspective and seeing how lucky we really are is great advice, and I'm glad you discovered that for yourself. I agree that it's really useful. I think it's also really useful to do something similar but sort of opposite, which is to look at other people--rich and poor, able-bodied and disabled, famous or unknown, etc--and try to see what we might have in common. And that's been really powerful for me because as you sort of touched on, even if we did get what we thought we wanted, many of us would then find something else we wanted to attain or achieve... it's the "grass is always greener" thing. But when I can look at people who have it "better" or "worse" than I do, I like to remember that no one escapes the human condition. Even the rich and powerful can't escape things like mental and emotional problems, they can't escape mortality, etc. And even though they may not ever feel like they are lacking for anything, since they could buy or perhaps even take what they want, they are victims to the opposite fear, which is that they will lose everything they have or have it taken from them. And so in the end it seems that yes, I do want to set and accomplish more goals that are entirely mine, I think it's also important that we take time to learn about our fears and resentments and those other core emotions that are in the back of our minds steering us. I've learned only in early middle age that I have spent most of my life driven mostly by fears, and so I've been working to try and overcome that and be free of that paralysis. Anyhow, thanks for the video!!

I self published a book, but did nearly everything aside from the writing all wrong so it has barely sold any copies. I have part time job which I enjoy, but doesn't make me enough money to be secure enough to get my own place, but with my mild autism I don't really think I could do much else. I keep wondering what difference would it have even made to the world had I been born and existed now. I feel like such a failure and feel like I am not good enough.

    Andrew, I think your level of self-awareness makes you far from a loser. The fact that you think about these things show that you have an idea of what you’re capable of, and with action, I’m very sure you will look back and be grateful for this time to think about the life you want. I’m sure you are interested in something. You will build the skill by going after that thing, taking action, and practicing. I’m currently going through a tough time in my personal life and I can assure you that if you keep your eyes on the long term, and take action daily, you’ll overcome nearly everything. You got this. Take a breath, and take the first step. Women can’t help but be attracted to winners. Take care of yourself, work on your goals, be a winner- be the man she deserves. You got this 😊

    I read somewhere that the only person we should compare ourselves with is who we were yesterday. No one has the same circumstances. No one can see the future. One may win big early in life and life gets cut short. One may suffer greatly and then live the rest of life peacefully and in abundance. Some die at birth. Others with 3 generations of their descendants. Comparing yourself to others is a sure way to seek pain. It doesn’t mean we can’t learn from each other. But that we must keep the main thing as the main thing. This video was my own way to help others overcome what I had to deal with. And I’m very grateful you enjoyed it.

The older I get, the more I realize that a lot of things are really linked to your perspectives. You know something that no one else does. And also, you need to know something that someone else has. We both give and take. Together. I'm sending you good vibes. Turning 30 can be a great milestone that you can use to plan the next 30 years of your life. I pray you use your gifts and talents and build the life you want. I know you can do it. Proof? You're in the military and getting promotions. You're working on yourself. It may be slow, but it's still progress. Just. Keep. Going.

    Many of us feel that they haven’t achieved much (myself included). However, lately I started volunteering while doing my Master’s degree and it’s a great feeling to know that you are part of some change no matter how small it is.

    I'm 30. No wife, no kids. 1 or 2 "friends". No career. Hope eludes me at this point.

    You know, I've been thinking quite a bit about this and your comment makes me think I really need to get on that video. I just got divorced. No wife, no kids. For the friends department, I have more then I need as I don't need many. But I've never felt more hopeful. I've chosen to take my life into my own hands and go after goals I set. It's hard to describe the feeling you get when you take responsibility for your life. Things aren't perfect. Far from it. Each day, I have to do the work whether it's : food, finances, health, career, etc. Where I once thought by now I'd have a family of my own, I'm now on my own and build alone. I've decided to make lemonade with oranges. Given how many times I had to restart college (3), how I moved across the world to meet the person who I'm no longer married to, I've realized one person can rewrite their whole future. I'm still writing mine. I think you can to. Hope comes when you start taking action. It's a very strange feeling, I tell ya.

    It's only going to get worse.
