  • This is the story about how I found my purpose in life thus far. Although I'm still very young, I think this is a good starting point to build off of, and I'm excited to begin this journey with you all!

    brother i can safely say i have never watched a full youtube video for about 2 years. maybe its all the short form stuff ruining attention spans these days. man you created something real here. i cant really explain - something that really inspired me just the raw thoughts, and emotions and even your realisation, youre thoughts were the glass ceiling. and damn. i mean this video is proof that you were right there. this was amazing bro. youre a very talented guy. i watched and enjoyed every second.

    “just do something” is honestly the best advice. sitting in your bed thinking about which homework assignment to do first? just pick one. your roommate making loud noises at 8am, and considering going to the gym versus sleep vs go on your phone? pick one with resolve. want to start a business, or do research at college, or join a club sport? don’t overthink- just pick one, and have your next thought be one as you’re actually taking an action.

      Hi Sophia, thank you so much for your comment. I agree, doing something is infinitely better than doing nothing, and is a much more streamlined path to finding what you truly love.

    i agree, it is most important to just do something, i waited a long long time since i posted something (i did a few videos in the past, just like travel diaries but i was always to afraid to actually go into it and share it) and i decided that i has been enough time wasted on being scared and that i just have to do it, it was the most terrifying thing in my life to post something and share it to people but then it started being less scary every time and i can actually begin to see what i like and what i want to post, find my style or niche after i begin to feel less scared to actually do it, i still feel that a bit but less, and no one cares in the end

  • @aayonijaadixit8424
    @aayonijaadixit8424 Před 8 měsíci +2

    I really felt it when you said something along the lines of try everything and you'll eventually figure out what you like.
    I started my college a couple month ago and I think somewhere along these months I've lost the reason/purpose of why I opted for the course I'm doing. In class, I just feel like other people know a lot more about the subjects that are being taught, and what they wanna do with their lives than me. I, on the other hand, feel a little lost. But hearing you say those word made me realise that I guess sometimes it's ok to be lost. As long as you eventually find yourself back again. I just think I'll have to try new things in college and just figure out my interests again. And I think I'll eventually feel okay again.
    So thanks, lol, and sorry for the long paragraph.

    • @aidansimonian
      @aidansimonian  Před 8 měsíci

      Hi Aayonijaa, thank you for taking the time to write such an insightful comment. I can definitely relate; being around people who already have a set path can be very difficult at times, especially when you feel lost yourself. I'm glad that you got the message I was trying to send, though, which was that it is okay to be lost, as long as you're actively seeking a way out of it. Trying new things is really important, and will lead to the most personal growth in the long run.

    Wow Aidan, I applaud your authenticity so much. I’m a new creator myself facing the hump of “what’s next?” I resonate so deeply with you that we try to scour OUT THERE for our next move, when our potential is paved by how WE make the moves. More of this authentic content on your thought process please… you’re like a hybrid of tiktok humor, plus the thoughtfulness of CZcams, which is so rare! So keep being you!

    one thing to remember is that there is no rush! Most channels take YEARS to grow and to be honest that's the best way to do it. You want to make videos so do that but when you have a video blow up you want it to be when you already have a wealth of videos out there for people to watch more of, and then they'll subscribe.

      ​@@zrzolako1047 Always follow your heart bro. And make things for yourself, not others. I think that's a really important part of the creative process that often gets overlooked. It's something that I always try to remember when making these videos. I'm really glad you enjoyed!
