Don't feel to bad about it, I can tell you that I don't know what I want to do, I just know right now what I don't want to do. I have a rough idea of what I could do but that doesn't really focus to much on this idea of what I actually want to be doing with life. From what I've heard from most people who are far older than both of us is that they still don't know what they're doing, seems to be a fairly normal thing, Best things we can do is focus on what we have at our disposal and try and live a life close to the version we want to live.

Nice way to recollect your past. I will turn 21 in around 2 weeks, this year was a quite stressful as I completed 3rd year of my university CS degree. Didn't do much extras this year as I had to work on finding an internship, improving skills for finding job etc (especially in this market with all the layoffs in tech). Managed to land an internship which I am about to complete (May get a return offer). Still working on improving my skills to find that sweet dream job. I started following you some time back because of your video game essays. It feels really odd, slowly transitioning to this adult life.

Wild Pidgeot! Mugs! Vibes! Good stuff. It's always interesting to see your surroundings out and about. A bit foreign, yet very familiar compared to my situation on the other side of Europe. Had the same with a French horror movie set at the countryside a couple years back. Not quite Hungary but compared to US / Japanese media I consume most of the time it has a nice feeling of extended home with Europe as a whole. Books sound interesting... Atomic Habits is on my backlog for a while now. Here is a weird fluff of mine: I prefer to refer to them as rituals or protocols instead of habits. Gives that nerdy umpf to the whole thing. "little... not little" That was just adorable AF. Using the word to refer to cozy vibes but contradicting the literal meaning. Absolute moment :D

Yeah, Bath is very unique for the UK as it's the only city that is built the way it is due to the Roman history side of it but yeah It's what I loved about going to places like Barcelona and Budapest as the cities look amazing and are really nice places. I don't know if it's that we just don't like to have a label on it that doesn't have some form of action around it, there could be something to that!

Actively multithreadding viddeo successfully achieved! Round1: title just gave that walk vibe, so I went on a stroll, and literally touched grass at part in early sunset... smiling like an idiot in the park not caring about the bypassers. Round2: before commenting past some chores had to do a 1.75x speedrun to catch my thoughts again... and damn, you really have a cozy scenery around there. Careful with the water! ^^ And here is how I personally like to shatter the "journey over destination" stuff, which aside from cliché is also pretty copium and you explained nicely where that casual usage of it leads. Examine the destination part more closely, separate it into inner and outside destination... and instead of the lofty external goals of the ratrace, focus on the inner destination. But here is the kicker, that's a never ending battle, an ideal never to be truly reached, sometimes progress hard to maintain, but all the more worthwhile. Enjoying the journey for it's own sake is mostly cope and drifting with a smile, but enjoying the journey in service to the inner journey/destination... as it's hardly separable if you really take it seriously is a real adventure. Discovering and acting in accordance with both your own and the world's nature. And after some roughly stoics derived word salad, I'm gonna hit you with manga cringe too: " THE BLADE IS ME " Chapter 542 of Bleach and the most important lesson in the story. Pretty badass IMO as is, but it's an urban fantasy story, where the main faction, soul reapers have special swords that are essentially a part if their soul and thus each have unique abilities and a soul reapers relationship with their sword and thus understanding an aspect of their own personality and therefore facilitating character development is a pretty neat ide IMO.

I've read a manga called 'vagabond' which is directed towards young adults. Its about a samurai called miyamoto musashi and if your interested in philosophical ideologies and perspectives on ones life and goals id highly recommend it. A quote within this masterpiece, 'Preoccupied with a single leaf you wont see the tree. Preoccupied with a single tree, you'll miss the entire forest'. over 350 chapters. i dont find this stuff 'cringy' since its all about improving life with perspective and happiness.

indeed, time can fly without realising it when we are inside all the time. I recorded this on the Saturday and that was the first time out the house properly. I forget the exact thing but an idea of life is that if you do the same thing over and over your brain will just lump it all into one memory unless something big happens. So if you drive the same route to work each day then instead of 100x that memory it's all compiled into one. That's what happens but with every part of life when we are locking ourselves inside the goon cave.

Some things that have helped me - 15k steps a day, resistance training, calories in less that calories out (track it for a few weeks). The physical and the mental seem really linked, for me at least, the more I started to move my body the better I felt in my mind as well. Outdoor activities sound great too! Best of luck
@AdamFrost4 ай бұрын
Would love to get 15k steps a day but that's a good 6 hours of walking around for me based of normal walks I'm doing. Which would be fine if I was working my old job as I would easily hit that in teh shift but now that I work from home that's practically impossible without making everything else in my life a sub prioirty. Right now I'm aiming to hit around 5-8k a day as I'm normally getting far bellow that.

Thank you for this. I've also had my latest realisation just this week that I've neglected my physical health for way too long and it's time to do something about it. My baby steps are getting to walk outside more and Pokemon Go has been my way of doing that for now. That's just a stepping stone to getting back into working out since I already bought all of my equipment over the last 3 years. I just need to start. And starting is the hardest thing to do. I was in a groove this time last year, was on a 3 month streak working out and seeing results - then I got sick for nearly a month and after trying to work out when I was just about ready to get back in - I couldn't handle it and it killed my momentum completely. I couldn't recover until this week came.
@AdamFrost4 ай бұрын
That's a big issue and can relate to this myself. I found that building up slowly is the best possible thing. Personally when I was at the peak of my physical health it was right after being ill, in and out of hospital and it took around 2 months to get back to anything remotely similar to before I was ill. At that point what helped a lot was I got massively into running and enjoyed the challenge, was focusing on doing a lot of reading and then working out regularly but it was almost always with friends. For the majority of people building up is going to be the best possible thing you can do. Momentum is better than motivation however motivation is a great tool to get going. I find that watching a movie or documentary or listening to the right music before going and doing something is the best sort of motivation as it pumps you up and you'll feel like you can take on anything.

Great video, this deserves more views; I have been on the path to self-improvement for a long time. I basically wasted my young years from 18 to 30 playing games, masturbating to weird porn, and complaining about life being unfair. However, I eventually realized that I was not doing anything to change my life. I was waiting for someone to knock on my door and fix my life, but as we know, that doesn't happen, and even if it did, it wouldn't matter because if you don't do it yourself, then you won't appreciate what you get. The message that most "self-improvement" influencers give is good overall, but it's also loaded with a lot of hate. The best way to convince someone to follow you is to tell them that they are your friend and everybody else is your enemy - the state, women, feminists, LGBT, you name it. I finally got on my path to a healthy life when I decided to drop all the hate and learn to love myself. I know this sounds like hippie BS for the people who are still looking for the answer, but trust me, you don't hate them, you hate yourself. The only way to be happy is by accepting that you are not even close to the best version of yourself. You have to suffer, you have to do the things you don't want to, you have to get up earlier, fix your room, take a shower, eat, and go study or work. But when you get home, it's not the end of the day; you have to go to the gym, make friends, buy your own stuff, cook your own food, enjoy your hobbies, and try to make new ones. Don't stick to a single hobby; learn interesting things to share with other people, etc. Life is too short to waste it hating everyone and everything. You have to stop and look at yourself in the mirror. Do you like what you see? What would you like to fix first? Go one step at a time; you don't need to be perfect next month. You can take it easy; you will never reach your maximum potential, but the good thing is that you don't have to. You can be happy by just having a regular life, and you can fix 90% of your problems by changing your habits one at a time. If anyone has read up to this point, let me tell you that I love you (no-homo). If a loser like me managed to change his life, you can do it too.

Let me say, this video is great, and yes, using self improvement for capital gain is a very common occurrence in the social media space, but I personally, have never spent a penny on these types of courses, and my life has turned around for the better, that being said, telling young men that the courses that they're selling is a guaranteed way of success is very exploitative, as Hamza once said "I could give you a multi-million dollar business, but without discipline, and hard work, you'd be bankrupt in less than a week." and what you said at the end was spot on, don't just idolize one influencer, take bits from other influencers to improve yourself, Tate himself said this, it is possible to change your life without spending money on courses, thank you for bringing this to the attention of young men to be carful before spending money on them, and that self improvement isn't about perfectionism, but being a better man than you were yesterday

This is a fascinating way to look men's self improvement people. I think you touch on this, but the reason I think that so many younger guys listen to these people is that they present a tailored set of beliefs that are easy to believe in. Its so much easier to buy into all the shit that they present, just because its really fucking hard to define your own beliefs and values. In addition, the political/social beliefs of these creators are often(but not always) either very reactionary or just bigoted. This ties into my earlier point, as it is so much easier to believe that you are truly a victim, or that everyone else is just being dramatic, or that all of these people telling you that you need to change are terrible people and you don't have to listen to them. An ideal self improvement channel would teach people to be happy with who they are, but that really doesn't sell, so here we are.
