I honestly feel like Im going through the motions and there's nothing new or exciting going on in my life. It feels to safe and honestly it's getting boring and it's making me miserable. I find that picking a new thing to learn makes me really excited. Every month I pick up a new book in a topic I have absolute no knowledge in and it honestly makes me feel happy/fulfilled when I learn something new, maybe it's a little lame but it's been keeping me afloat!!

There's no quick way to find your purpose in life, but there are smart ways to go about it. I realized early in life the importance of investing for financial independence and have saved and invested with great returns using my education and skills. Since I don't have to work for money now, I started a KZread channel to teach other people about tax and wealth strategies. Making no money, but feeling more fulfilled :)

Your lying on the beach analogy is actually correct! When I was 26, my husband and I quit our jobs to go travelling for a year. We backpacked to some amazing places and spent a crap tonne of time lounging on beaches in the Caribbean. However, the weirdest thing happened. After doing that for a few months, we actually got bored and missed feeling productive and being challenged in our lives. We ended up cutting out trip short and went back to our jobs (our employers took us back) after 9 months. As soon as I was back, I had new found motivation and was quickly promoted. I think I needed time away to see everything clearly and to figure out what I really wanted, but lying on a beach is NOT the answer. It’s definitely about having a balance between the two.

@Nina-dm2vw

@@kevinlin8639 so many people questioned us on this while we were travelling and couldn’t understand how we did it. My husband was incredibly savvy at budgeting and we had a daily amount of spending we had to stick to. We did most of our travelling in areas which were inexpensive for eating and accommodation and backpacking but we always booked our own room never really bunking. We would usually spend between 25-50 USD per night on accommodation but used Agoda and got mega discounts as we continually booked through them and you earn points as you go. We also used Air BNB but it had really only just started and the quality of staying experiences was so good back then. We budgeted around $5 each per meal also. Which sounds like nothing but when you are travelling through Mexico, Central America, Thailand etc that is very doable. Europe was more and we budgeted for that, but we also just didn’t splurge on unnecessary stuff like expensive dinners etc. A lot of our travel was on shoulder seasons to peak times too so if you can handle not quite perfect weather, that’s a bonus. We were also not afraid of using public transport and figured out bus networks etc everywhere, even Guatemala, the Caribbean coast of Mexico, everywhere. We were always safe and never even got pickpocketed. I think we spent around $18,000 total. You just trust the process and go for it and things always work out. Best trip of my life that I still look back fondly on today.

It was the answer at the time though right? Without doing that your never would’ve found the answer. I’m at the point in my life where I want to ask for a leave from my career to travel for just a year and see how far I can get myself around the world to fulfill my need to see more.

notes for myself: 1. focus on self-actualisation as an ACTION: - think actively about what may be fulfilling today / what progress i’ll be making toward goals today - reflect at the end of the day about what happens and my direction - NOT everything in my day will be fulfilling, but… - …actively SEEK opportunities to do things i enjoy and am good at doing - this is up to me to DO (no one will do it for me)… or, - …discover what i enjoy doing! ask: a) what would i do if money wasn’t an option? b) what activities do i lose myself in? time disappears? 2. seek fulfilment in diff. parts of my life, not just “my one passion” - even quiet moments can be lovely, doing hobbies, volunteering or spending time with others - few people have ONE fulfilling thing in life 3. build circle of positive influence: - who do i associate with? - who brings me down / drains my energy? spend less time with them - spend more time with people who are actively seeking fulfilment + trying to solve problems 4. be patient. - life is long, some weeks/months are dry or have zero results, but stick with it - something might seem unfulfilling at first but become fulfilling over time [edit: spacing]

I thought I would feel like I won the Olympics after how hard I worked to get here and I could bask with friends in where I’m at …rather after college I moved away to take a job and I’m not regularly seeing all those friends and no one is around celebrating all the work I did …rather, I just work. ?? No exciting basking in what I just accomplished and no one is around besides a boss.

Notes for myself: 1. Find something you enjoy in everyday life 2. Do not narrow down to 1 single passion. Fulfilment is to follow multiple pasions at the same time. 3.

Life is not always fulfiled, it's up and down and it's totally alright.

It’s so easy to get lost in the mundane but I’m on my way to finding those things that bring me alive. Thank you so much & by the way you have a new subscriber!

I've been thinking a lot about this as, last year, I let my job consume me and I'd work excess of 12 hour days just because I didn't know what else to do. Over Christmas I took time to think about fulfilment and I asked myself "if all jobs paid the same, what would you do?" Took some time to discover that and now I know that writing and creating videos energises me, I log off at 6pm latest as I genuinely look forward to spending time writing. I finish up the evening feeling energised, creative and inspired rather than drained and numb. I think it's really important to step back and ask ourselves these questions. It isn't always easy but it's certainly better than starting your life on day one of retirement...

What’s helped me is finding fulfilment in every moment and realising that being alive is wonder in itself. That walk you talk about in the morning or your train ride to work, I use those just to bask in the fact that I’m conscious and aware, living life rather then planning about the future that I really have no control over. Why we are so unfulfilled is because we plan and try to control everything rather then just accept and live and let life unfold around us. Keep going though!

Sincerely thank you Liam for sharing this and adding to the world. Our socialised perspective on life creates a lot of loneliness, sadness, disillusionment and it is so important to see simple and clear philosophy to guide this maze.

I really really enjoyed this Liam. I have always tried to look for the joyful moments in every day but reframing that to look for the more fulfilling moments definitely seems like it would make my days a lot more positive. Something to try!

I just graduated college and started full time work and am experiencing a lot of feelings of having a lack of purpose or meaning of life. I am searching for ways to find more fulfillment in day to day life, so glad this video popped up!

Wow, this is the first video I've ever seen of yours and it really struck a chord! I love all of the wisdom you impart and especially the part on being patient (and knowing that that's okay!) I'm in the "middle" of a career in my own business right now and am constantly looking for the next new thing to try, what to do to get me to the "next level" of life and I think it's so valuable to intentionally find fulfillment elsewhere as well! So thank you! (Also your video work/B-roll and color grading are beautiful, fyi!))

Wow! Incredible video first of all and second, thank you. I'm only a freshman in college that finished my first year and now it's summer. I've honestly been feeling empty and in a rough spot and been trying to get my life together because now everything is up to me where the transition period between being a child where everything is laid out for you and being an adult where you set up everything for yourself is blurry. I've always just done what was told and I feel like now is the first time I'm really feeling like I am responsible for where I go now at this time. And I wanted to thank you because this video that you made is exactly what I needed and what I needed to hear so really, thank you :)

The last bit is extremely important to me. Many times I've caught myself getting frustrated with an activity before investing enough time into that activity first. For example, joining new social circles: as a - somewhat - introvert, it felt hard at times surrounding myself with people. Many times I felt myself in "awkward silence" with people. But knowing my overall goal and fulfillment (being socially at ease) I forced myself to go out, talk and interact with people. And it became one of my "best" skills over time.

OMG this is literally what I really needed. I am going through the stage that I feel like I wasted all 21 years of my life, I have nothing to say if someone asks me "what are your achievements in your life you are satisfied or proud of?". Whether it is awards, or grades or personal achievements, I have none. I have not succeeded in making a strong secure social circle, and am still not sure what I want to do in the future. Your video helped me a lot, and I hope to gain more fulfilment through socialising, which is my goal for the second half of the year, and trying to be able to try out new hobbies I never started but always had an interest in. Also hope to find my true passion for what to work as in the future too. Thanks a lot!

I can’t believe I’ve only just found your channel. It’s so lovely to watch positive and very practical advice. Thank you💕

I was already in this path but hearing you say we can find passion and fulfillment daily 🤔 makes me think if I am doing it every day to break my routine pattern. And what other things can I do in addition. I really like this video. Doing nothing feels so good to slow down when we got a lot going on.

1. 'Actively' seek for the opportunities to do things you love everyday, things that fulfill you and help you reach your goals 2. Don't bind your passion with just one thing, especially profession. Find multiple resources of fulfillment 3. Surround yourself with positive energy, choose people and media you take in 4. Be patient. Sometimes you're working on something that takes time to see the result or sometimes it's just a bad day or week or month.

I love your channel and the message you transfer. Unlike the other bloggers who just suggest "leave your job right away, start entrpreneurship" you focus on motivation in everyday life of a standard worker

You really read my mind. I am currently going through such phase.I am a law student and with the classes being online ,i feel lost and demotivated all the time

*Everything negative around you is an opportunity for you to rise up. Stop caring about what others are thinking, just start putting in the work. I am cheering for you...*

Great video Liam! Some random thoughts on things I have found helpful in seeking fulfilment, hopefully these might help others: - Slower mornings. I get up and give my self time to reflect. Early to bed too. - Clearly articulating (eg writing down) my passions and short, medium and long term goals. - Realising “good enough is good enough”, not always breaking my back. In this sense playing the long game and conserving my energy. - Exercise. Healthy body, healthy mind. At least 20 minutes a day. All exercise is good exercise. - A problem shared is a problem (part) solved. If I’m in a “funk” making an active effort to speak to someone about it. - Whatever task I’m doing trying to be as present as possible. - A bit borrowed from CBT, but actively moving my body and changing task if I’m feeling stuck. Good luck everyone!

Great video and I look forward to more like this. I recently resonated with this as I have had a bunch of things recently happen and been struggling. These tips have reminded me of what I enjoy, what makes me happy and also to try and keep my anxiety at bay.

Love this!! Thankyou 🙏 Since 2018 Iv been on a self Actualisation journey and Iv found it incredibly fulfilling however Iv had some negative feedback from people close to me because they are focusing on my external environment however my abundance and prosperity has been an internal and spiritual transformation. I understand myself better than ever it’s like magic!! Life is mundane most of the time for the vast majority of people and we are all in the same boat, we are constantly bombarded with being perfect or having an amazing life in all areas. Life isn’t perfect but if we can find contentment in the discomfort then that’s a win in my opinion!!

Can we appreciate the starting of the video i mean the loop that's sooo nice...keep it up man loved it 👍👍

To the incredible person that's seeing this, I wish you all the best in life❤ don't over blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn the skills needed and get after it, all the keys to a happy life is in your hands. Keep pushing.

Thanks for sharing Liam. I think that in daily repetition of habits is the real freedom, because when you put your life in order you have time and energy to focus in the important things.

This is the first time I came across your channel, and I feel very motivated just with this one video. So many of us feel empty but we all have the luxury to come across KZread channels like yours, to guide us to set a better mood to find purpose etc. i think we should keep exploring people like you in order to grow and feel positive and not helpless. Thanks a lot.

The only issue with offering up your services to everyone at work, is that they will undoubtedly let you take on their work. Yet, you still have your own work responsibilities. This will lead to overload and burnout. It seems the more you take on, the more is expected of you, leading to more responsibility but not more pay. I am speaking of the US corporate environment, where most of us are the verge of burnout.

I’ve been having an existential crisis for the past couple days. I’m 28 and I’ve just realized that I’ve literally done nothing of my life so far. Sure I’m doing fine on paper: great career, I own my apartment and my car, I’ve saved/invested tons of money, and I have a great body (I’ve been working out for the past 10 years). But other than that, I haven’t done anything exciting or fulfilling at all. I’m just going thru the motions every day, I never get out of my comfort zone and challenge myself. I barely have any friends, I’m always the one reaching out to them otherwise nothing happens, I haven’t experienced reciprocal love or intimacy, and I struggle to find any enjoyment in my life. Everything is so dull and boring. I’m frustrated by so many aspects, and I have a hard time accepting many things about me. I’ve been thinking about this for the past couple days and I just realized that nothing will change if it doesn’t come from me.

Nice video. I'm an introvert. I find it very difficult associating with people but I'm very good indoors. Most ridiculous thing, I haven't been on date before. Lol. Very good content.

Hey Liam, glad to see that you are well. This video popped into my recommended section, so just came by to thank you for a video that you put out about a year or two ago that helped me land a job out of university. Thanks again, and take care!

Absolutely love this video, found myself so demotivated day to day as I realised my end goal in life is so far away. But this had made me realise that i need to feel fulfilled after every day in order to be happy

It's definitely about small daily things to keep you motivated and feel you're steadily progressing towards your goals 😊☀️👌🔥 Greetings from a Swede in cold Beijing ❄

This video is really awesome! A lot of what you are saying I'm doing unconsciously and it's great to be made aware of all the things I'm already doing I started my KZread channel a month ago, I don't know where it's going to take me, but I'm having so much fun being in front of the camera and being creative. Thanks Liam for your effort and keep up the great work. Lot's of love from Germany

Ps, keep going with your KZread channel, and my top tip would be: don’t be afraid to copy (and make your own) things you see in others’ videos that look awesome and work well! If it’s tried and tested, do it yourself 🤗

This is such a great video as most of us have this feeling over and over as we go through the ebbs and flows of life. Being patient but actually sticking the the plan is very powerful.

Wow this is just what I needed to hear now. I am finishing my master's at the moment and september is looking like a void, so this has opened my eyes to being patient and just enjoying time for what it is.

I think the reason why people get so bored is not because of a lack of things to do is mostly due to a lack of Interest in pursuing a tough goal. I love Simon sinek and Tony Robbins because they put perspective on real life goals

Fortune favours people who dare to do something and aren't afraid of taking risks. If you want good luck, then go out there and get it!

Thank you so much for this video! I feel like I'm stuck in this day to day rut and your perspective on it has changed my outlook on things! Thank you! I have also just started a KZread channel so as you were mentioning about patience, I think it definitely spoke to me even more about not giving up cause it's something that brings me sooo much fulfillment!

Thank you! I realized I didn't know what aspects of the day I enjoyed thoroughly even if I thought I'd had a good day! I was focusing too much on my lapses. Thank you! One good habit I have carefully cared for this year. Writing daily. I appreciate a pen and a tiny notebook.

Thank you for this video, Liam. I tend to watch a lot of females on KZread who talk about things like this, so it's refreshing to come across your channel! Learned a lot from this and will look to implement these habits in my everyday life

Loved the intro on this! Great points Liam.

Thanks so much Jone - very much appreciate that you took the time to comment 😊

The video is great. I am currently struggling with anxiety and depression for similar reasons. I've been studying online for 2 years (because of COVID) and I'm doing the same thing day in and day out. To learn. That crushes me. Of course the goal of graduation is somewhere, but the way there feels so repetitive. I hope I can find my motivation again soon.

First off - Amazing production quality!! The opening scene was really well done, but the phone alarm right at the start did startle me LMAOO I loved most your point that you don’t always have to feel fulfilled every minute of everyday. Sometimes, there will be lulls in perceived progress but THAT’S OKAY. As long as you know you’re heading in the correct direction, you just gotta maintain perspective and look in 3-year terms rather than 3-day terms. Keep up the awesome content! 🥳

This was excellent! And I absolutely love the question, "What are the activities that you lose yourself in" such a thought provoking question. 👍 Totally Totally Totally agree that many of us get wrapped up in the, "one purpose ". Oh how I agree with the 'moaners" sooooo important to degrees those interactions. #4 is SUCH an important habit! This definitely can take practice and realization of the more important things where those "inpatient moments " can destroy our flow and our progress. Absolutely brilliant video! 💜❤💚💙

This video popped at the right time. I was feeling all nostalgic about my childhood and not knowing what's next.

I didn't know I needed to hear this before I did. Thank you Liam for sharing, I'm positive this will help me be more content with my life

Find fulfilment in your everyday life. You are the creator of your own happiness on your everyday life. Before anything else it’s about knowing who you are so that you know what you love doing.

why was the editing at the beginning so good? like it just was really good

I usually don't even give this type of videos a chance because they only make me feel bad about myself, my life and the things i can't change right away, but this one actually gave me confort and some kind of direction. Thank you. Even if i still feel like trash and deeply unhappy right now, your video helped me a lot.

Good stuff! It’s true that occasionally getting ourselves off our minds and helping others really can bring us true joy. And of course, kind of like you said, looking forward to something even if it’s small can help. I loved Joyce Meyer’s books on how to enjoy everyday life, too.

Actually we have to start practice to appreciate more things in life. Appreciation is the antidote to complaining.

This video is mind blowing, Most times it amaze me greatly the way I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities are bound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus.

Loved this video! Exactly what I needed to hear this mornings. Thanks 💯

I definitely fell into the category of not being passionate in enough areas. I poured everything I had into a job I love, but during the pandemic in the hospital and family illness, I had to pull back on my other passions and burnt out. I now work a job where I have time for other passions and it’s made a world of difference to have multiple avenues.

As a law student I can relate this with my life. This video is also one of of them. Keep motivating us. 👍🙂

Thought I should commend you on the video mate. Honestly top notch, high quality content. I feel like I'm watching this professional documentary. Mad respect keep it up!

Thank you for adressing this. This Phase of Life Paired with the Full Stop on Everything in the Last Two years, makes the daily life really unfullfilling. Most of my Friends are in the Middle of Something. Like Studies,Motherhood, Moving to another City.

I pursued a ‘boring life’ as a lifestyle strategy. Definitely don’t want to change it.

At 60 I agree that considering the activities in which you “loose sight of yourself” is one key to happiness. Spending too much time on SELF actualizing is a dead end over time. Maybe 5% of “satisfaction” in life is in stuff or activities focused on “me”. All the real joy is in relating to and helping others.

thanks for helping me reframe my current state. i'm deep in burnout. it got so bad that i had to quit my job. i have no motivation for any of my interests. so i suppose this is the season of my life to find fulfilment in rest and restoration, just being and reconnecting with myself and my needs.

Thank you for this video 🤘 It’s crazy how I’ve been feeling this way and then end up running into this video

I feel like I've skipped ahead of the two psychological needs trying to self-improve. I don't have many friends or intimate relationships and I've wondered why my life feels so bland. Working on self-improvement while feeling lonely feels like a dead end.

I wonder if it’s a Catch 22? A lack of companionship creates no motivation for finding a passion, and us having passions makes us sparkle. But without starling, then we don’t attract others into our orbit. I hope that you find what brings you contentment.

Yes, life has more substance when you share it with people.

I don’t find my life boring. To be honest, I’m a homebody and feel content if I don’t leave the house all week. But I do love to read books, experiment with new food, and watch movies especially if the setting are in the 40s-60s era. However, I’m a mom to two little boys and I want them to experience life. So I force myself to do something with them and every weekend we go somewhere different to hike or we take them to the beach.

I keep thinking a lot of these things even if it’s not gonna happen everyday, very encouraging to hear them repeated back to me plus more ofc!

Big help honestly. Been searching for my 1 purpose for while now. Debating a career change. Currently dealing with a job full of negative people, and have tried to distance myself from that. Glad I found the video.

its all about interacting with others. if were alone most of our lives, we think our life is not going anywhere.
