YESSS thank you so much for sharing this, it is so easy to give into what you feel like you ‘should’ be doing, and it takes so much courage to listen to what feels right in your heart and follow it. So so happy for you and wishing you the best on your journey 💞💞💞
Testing aint even that bad if they comforted us with the fact that grades do not define us and out intelligance but our memory. I think they do that on purpose,if they comforted us that wouldnt make us feel guilty about not passing but idk why they feel like its fine to not to comfort us but seeing us stressing and even worst : when it’s starting to effec our mental health,them sleepless nights,energy drinks and coffee drinks becomes our only way of staying up,the amount of all nighters we pull etc. Testing is good,but the idea they have given to us about test is so bad and thats why we hate tests😕

Love this topic! From personal experience, I’ve learned that I’m much happier if I don’t tie my passion to my career. The last time I monetized my hobby/interest, I got super depressed & burnt out, and had no healthy outlet anymore to decompress. So I think for me, it’s no longer important to be “passionate” in a career. Sure, it should interest me and align with my values, but it doesn’t have to be the love of my life either.
Tbh, I want to be like Homer Simpson and have a Million different jobs. I looooove learning new things! But unfortunately society thinks that changing fields so often is a bad thing...still...I won't let society stop me 😂
I dealt with that today. I had an interviewer say they were worried about me not wanting to grow with the company since my resume shows I haven't stayed at a job for more that a year in the past few years. I told them that I am a dedicated and hard worker but I can't promise the future. No one can. If I like the job and I have a good team, I'll stay. If it's a horrible workplace. I'm leaving. It would be insane not to leave. It's like staying in an abusive relationship.
When creating streams of income, they should resonate with you to a certain extent. Don't sell out even if you can make a ton of money. For an example... don't do dropshipping if you are against consumerism. Most people leave jobs because they don't want to be a sellout. Don't start a business that will cause you to sell out. Be unique. Be yourself.
Agreed! I explored so many options over the years to be able to quit my 9-5, dropshipping being one. But then I realized I don't want to be doing something against my values just to leave a job against my values lol
I'm glad someone is talking about this. I've always felt like a loser because I didn't know what I wanted to do when I was 18....or 25...or 30. I am just now finding myself and more people need to know that this is OKAY.
Ever since I was little I have had multiple passions. (I'm 15) and I just love learning new things so if we lived in a non capitalist society I would be so happy. I really have always loved singing but now I thin I'm more passionate about dancing. My goal in life is to hopeful make multiple streams passive of income so that I can just do the things I'm passionate about and be with the people I love. I want to spend my time on things and people I love. I think life is supposed to be fun but sadly people suck that out of it. Edit: Thank You Lynette for being a youtuber your an inspiration of mine
I love that you discuss these topics, you're killing it Lynette! If money wasn't a factor, I'd just travel and live a nomad life. Or just settle on a property in the middle of nowhere lol.
I would reclaim my life because money is a form of energy in this world. It takes up mental space, makes us enslaved to others, particularly corporations that have far from our best interests in mind.
I feel so pressured and insecure everytime someone asks me "where do you work right now?". It's usually the first thing that they ask of me, and I feel embarrassed to say, "I don't have a job, I'm 'trying' to be a youtuber". One thing I really love if money wasn't an issue is to perform, to sing, to dance, on stage anywhere. I also want to lead people and just join different organizations, and just attend seminars to learn. I also want to travel with my family and friends without worrying about money. I feel alive everytime I do these things, but lately because of that one factor, which is my current "career path" it's giving me a lot of anxiety and frustration. *sigh
Hey you sound like me! lol I know exactly how you feel. From reading your comment I can tell we have a lot in common. From one dream chaser to another I think you should in a way embrace your frustrations, allow these feelings to empower you instead of bringing you down. I wake up every morning at 5ish am and go to work for 10 hours a day. I get frustrated at myself because I know what I would rather be doing, singing, writing music, spending more time with my loved ones. But its that very frustration the fires me up and reminds me that I am in control of my life! I won't stop ever, someone once said I can live with failure, but i can't live with regret!" I hope that this was helpful for you! By the way I subscribed to you so I hope you keep the dream going!
@@jaszminrg Aweee, this means so much to me! I feel so much comfort reading this as I am not alone in my journey. Thank you so much! I hope you would also keep dreaming and keep going! God bless you!
I love to see everyone evolving and understanding that conformity isn't the norm. I am a life purpose coach and one thing I speak about with my clients is when it comes to passion it isn't always something that comes innately. Passion can be cultivated by exploring different things which can lead to our purpose. Passion also doesn't mean its something we are going to enjoy every single day. The biggest thing that keeps us going is the WHY. Passion is subject to change because we change and evolve. The more flexible we are with exploration and trying new things the more we give ourselves better opportunities at finding different things to be passionate about. I absolutely love your positivity. Such a beauty ❤
I've found your videos really comforting recently as I am not happy in life and how life is for everyone. I hate 9-5 work and this past yeah of working from home has been the only good thing about it. Soon they're forcing us back into the office while most other departments can have a choice or preference.
Really wishing you the best and hoping you can remain working at home! It makes such a huge difference and gives more room to pursue your passion on the side
I found my purpose after being injured and hitting burnout. Started our market farm and love it because we help people get great healthy food. Don't think about money because it comes & Go's. our business main purpose is to help people not focus on money and will come. Thank you
I just discovered your channel and each video you put out feels truly valuable as a person trying to find their way. Amazing work, amazing channel, amazing topics. Love hearing your voice, your input, and thought process. Wishing you and everyone reading this a beautiful, restful night!
If money wasn’t a factor I would be and certified doula/midwife AND a nutrition genomist in which you study how food affects each persons individual genetics. But unfortunately since I have to put myself through school at the moment I can only choose one which is the genomist.
my passion is singing and making music, writing books, those sorts of things, but i have no idea what i'm supposed to major in. it's hard not to stress over it especially when so many people keep asking me what i wanna do. like i just wanna make music for the rest of my life :/
Maybe consider music production or something along those lines.. also consider if you need to major in something or if you can perhaps complete a career certificate where you can learn a skill related to your ideal career.
English would be an amazing major if thats what you wanna do , i wanna do the same things you mentioned and i am an English major , at first i hated it because i don't read books but it has helped me in lyric writing
Love how you said in order to become an expert, you should do it and not just learn about it. And distractions will be the death of us if we allow them to. Enjoyed this 🙌🏽
always right on time, I just started my channel and I find myself overthinking what to make content abt since I have so many interests and finding a "niche" feels so redundant bc I have a lot to offer, and I start overthinking so much I forget to just do it lol thank you for this reminder.
I love that you're encouraging people to prioritize things that bring them more fulfilling joy and self care regardless of the money! I've always answered this question by saying I'd just travel... lol but I've set my career sights on being a graphic designer and am on my first step
I was literally asking myself this question thank you😩 I'm just wondering what am I ambitious about and why I'm on this Earth, like what is my impact? And what gives me joy? So just thanks cause I needed to hear this.
Same:( I’m doing nursing but only bc I know I’ll be secure financially. I’m not really passionate about it but man I can’t wait until I figure out what I’m passionate about😅. It seems like something you only hear other people talk about bc I haven’t yet figured out what I’m passionate about.
I forreal was just thinking about how I can’t even think of a passion because I’m so worried about money. I just graduated college and I want to do what I love, but these student loans bills are like nope sis find a job right now.
I know that exact feeling, debt can feel so imprisoning and I spent the last year putting so much of my money into paying it off. Wishing you the best and just know that divine timing is real, just keep pushing for what you love as often as you can!❤️
I am glad you posted this, and this also made me question if I wanted to go to a “good” college or attend one that is closer but makes me feel less stressed about the price.
Great video and definitely avoid distractions. This is something I realized I needed to do and the universe is speaking to me because I literally heard this 3 times today. I found my passion and that's starting an online boutique...launching in August 2021✨
I found flexibility training, karaoke, and commissioning artist to create illustrations for me are things I love. I even have a big creative goal involving a hybrid from of live-action anime.
If money wasn't a factor I'd dive into acting and traveling. I really love performing and I love putting myself in new surroundings. But there isn't a lot of stability in being an actress and I need money to travel so... here I am LMAO
Yess I am the same!! I'm currently trying to be an actress and I'm studying theatre in college but I also really want to travel. How do I plan to do that with no money... No idea lol
Lynette you literally are my spirit animal lmaooo I was literally telling myself to pause alil on watching so much CZcams so that I can put more focus on my content. I have planned so much content and as much as I want to support my favorite creators in trynna create too n I need to make room for that as well. Love your content hun❤️.
I REALLY like this, I actually feel encouraged bcuz I’m trying to figure that out for myself now! What do I wanna do? Working a 9-5 til I’m 65 sounds dumber & dumber everyday when i think of it, & I’m jamaican so ofc my dad wants me to finish college but Idk if I really want that or if I just want financial security…either way I’m just now trying be a little more productive & made my sleeping schedule apart of self care for starters
Man Lynette I love how you understand how everyone really feels. I appreciate the honesty and truthfulness of being careful of addictions, distractions and going for the natural joy in life.
I don’t really comment on CZcams videos but your channel is one of few that I actually look forward too seeing because I know these are real topics that can help all of us just get through life. I’m really grateful that I found your page and hope you keep making more videos!!
I recalled why I started what I’m doing, initially it was me doing thing’s outside to reflect the inner state of being which I tap into with Meditation, An effortless state but it was the part where I needed to create a stream of income where I started coming up with various ways of income this video came in time when I’m Integrating this inward space now helps me realise what I actually want to elaborate in my life and what I would want to minimise 🙂✨ Thank you so much for this tip it helped a lot
What a wonderful message. I think your content is awesome - super mix of knowledge, opinion, business, motivation, spirituality, criticism, culture, creativity, yeah, and so on... Thanks for sharing.
Crazy how you came through with this video. I was at work last night thinking of the same question. It made me realize how much limiting beliefs I had. Also how much trust I DIDNT have in the universe to get what I want. It's time to let go and trust if I ever want what I want and realize..nothing is too good to be true.
Everything you say is literally everything I think. Absolutely admire the way you articulate your thoughts and feelings. Thank you so much for your videos they’re really helpful. Love u 💕
I love your videos because you're so 100% right. Lately I have gotten back into art and learning to draw better, just for fun. I haven't done anything 'just for fun' in about a decade! It feels really nice.
My passion is traveling...but more specifically, when I travel, I like to see the different ways vegan food is made when I travel. I think that is monetizable, like a travel blog? I like food :D
!! I literally feel like I have convinced myself that I don't have really any passions because half to most of the ones I wanted to explore past a basic level costs money OR I had people around me (family is a factor for some of us too) who thought what I was doing was a waste of time, and intended to me that I should get right to committing my life to work :( I KNOW that I'm someone that likes to do and try a variety of things deep down inside, but I think I even convinced myself that there's nothing I want to do anymore and I've tied negative memories to things I like due to money and family.
This is so me. I really enjoy drawing and I wanted to make art my living and also design clothes for fashion shows. But I've been doubting myself, doubting if I can actually make a living out of it and whether it's something I want to do for a long time. And I guess I've attached it to monetary passions and it's really discouraging that I have to attach money to everything I like doing.
Breaking free from those limiting beliefs around money and doing what you love can be so so hard, especially when it comes from family. A lot of times it’s just them projecting their own fears around money onto you. I wish you all the best, do not give up bc the more you recognize where those limiting beliefs come from the more power you have to turn them around!
I'm 32 year old and I have been working in the healthcare field for over 7 years. My degree is health management. If money were not an option , I would love to flip art. I always loved art! This video really opened up my eyes!
i love the concept of this video and it has motivated me to continue to keep on expanding my path with life and with learning new interests because my mom has lived her life telling everyone that you must go to college and you have to stick to that one thing you’re good at but this video has truly changed my aspect on my life and what i can do for myself
Get a little job and go invest your money now with Investment companies and not the banks! Build your wealth now and network with people who are smarter than you
I suggest trying basically everything, if you know what I mean. Join any extracurricular you think you could enjoy (not too many for stress reasons of course) and just try new things. You will eventually find out.
Not to mention is it rly smart to have us passion as a job,people change and our passion changes.the job should pay for your passion,as long as you’re ok with your work and don’t make unneccesary relationships in jobs. Its different ofc if u want to be a doctor or something like that where u know u will thrive in that job,let it be your passion job. Generally That job should pay for your passions,travelling,photography,etc. For your living.
I feel personally attacked, because I do EXACTLY what you just described: learn more about the thing than actually doing the thing lol. But for me, the idea of failure is so crippling that to this day I’m still struggling with it and this year has been the greatest growth experience ever! So I’m slowly ripping off more bandaids and diving in (sometimes with my eyes closed lol), but with every bandaid I rip off and see how easy it was the more confident I become and the more I’m willing to try. So this video was an affirmation that I’m off to a great start!
I would like to offer some unsolicited insight to those who find this comment. The ability to create is a beautiful thing and one of the gifts we were born with. We literally are creating our reality with our moment to moment thoughts, words, and deeds. Even though we are creating on a daily basis, to create the life we want, we have build the foundation of it. Imagine all the things you would like to do that you might not be doing that could make you money (writing, drawing, making CZcams videos, etc). Those things are like cinder blocks and you need those to build the foundation of your new house (your new life). Making a CZcams video, writing an article, drawing/painting a picture, etc. is like setting a block down and building your foundation. Don't depend on that one article or piece of art or CZcams video to make you rich where you can just chill and not do anything anymore. That rarely happens and you actually don't want it to happen. It might make you lazy. You want to always be creating because that's what we are here to do. We are literally here to create our life and love the process. So if you are working a job you hate and want to start creating the life you want, understand the journey and process is what will make your heart and soul happy just as much as when you finally get to the point where you can quit your job and work for yourself.
I felt this video in my soul. I refuse to live my life working 40 hours a week doing something I really don't give af about. I want to live a life of beauty, existence, fulfillment and a traditional corporate job provides none of that. Also, it takes a lot of courage to be honest with yourself. Are you living your life to fulfill yourself or to fulfill society's standard of what success is? That could realizing you went to college to study a subject because you thought it would bring you money and social respect, when in reality you hate the field.
I had a passion. I spent my childhood learning, studying into high school, studying into college, and then moving to the location where I would have the best outcome. I gave it my all for almost 35 years. I never really got anywhere, due to a variety of circumstances. I took other jobs for a while and had something resembling a career for 15 years. But now, I'm in a position where I found out that I am Autistic, and I have a 5.5 year gap. So Vocational Rehab is asking me, "What do you want to do?" I don't know. So they ask me what I love. I tell them what I love, and that I already tried, and this cannot be monetized for me. VR can't help me. I'm out of options.
I would just do fun shit everyday, I would never stop learning about new skills and topics, I would travel, I would spend time with friends and family and new people. I would cook and spend time by myself too. I would fly planes or drive race cars, I would write and draw and go outside. I would sing and dance. But I can still do most of these things anyway even if I have a job.
If you're young and considering a career or vocation in a certain area, for God's sake, do an interview with someone who's experienced in that field, AND make damn sure to be blunt and ask them to tell you not just what they love about their field, but also, what they hate about it. Failure to do this IMO, is why the average College student changes their major two or more times! Doing "informational interviews" will help you avoid taking unnecessary training(s) or obtaining inappropriate degrees. As a retired vocational/academic Counselor, I can't tell you how many folks jump right into obtaining degrees, only to find they hate the actual career!
A few ways to find out what you'd love to do or put things into perspective. It can change overtime but that's okay. 1) you're going to die in an year or two. 2) you've achieved financial freedom and abundance, and have loads of free time in your hands. 3) you're on your death bed( or a garden dying) and glance back at life and see the things you did. I have a lot of passions, but I also have a job that slowly kills me( word to the song no surprises by radiohead). Jobs create complacency, but if you can notice the pattern and rewire it, that's a start. To whoever reading this, love and peace. Take it easy.
For all of 2020 money wasn't a factor for me...so I became depressed. Finding my purpose has ALWAYS been my biggest struggle. I still have not cracked the code to this day.
So inspiring vdo. I totally agree that we somehow trapped in the system that make we forgot what we are ment to be in this world. Thank you for your great VDO.🙏🙏🙏
Your video be so timely I have so many ideas to do for career 23 I so money driven it blind me to see what I really want to do social media break essential I notice the more you watch someone the more you feel that what you suppose be doing time in stillness helps
I've been wanting to start a youtube channel on and off for many years but I always get overwhelmed by anxiety when I think about picking up the camera and actually filming. Any advice? I love your videos btw! :)
I highly appreciate your video. Although I don't my goal exactly but I'm sure that whenever I speak english on the at my class it made me confident and comfortable .And then,I think of me that I'm skillful giving advice to my depressed friends be modivated.i enjoy studying Psychology. Now,As I'm student ,I wanna know my goal exactly, Could you give me advice what should I do?
Hi! I discovered your channel by searching great resignation & have been sharing your videos in posts on my Community tab. Your advice is so practical and at the same time compassionate. What are your views on Worker Co-ops? I would love for Richard Wolff to have you on his Economic Update show.
I agree buying courses is helpful. I have been learning about mercari and poshmark. Soon I would like to resell. They are many things people are do in the internet.
I'm glad that I know what I'm passionate about. RAP. I WILL be successful at making it in the music industry. Sooner than you think. This video was incredibly inspiring. Thank you for this. Much luck to everyone on their very own paths to success/happiness. Keeping vibing high. 🌟🥂
i find with myself i get bored of everything super easily and get distracted. even though I know the thing I am learning is so interesting and will benefit me. With everything, I do I really need to put in the effort to go through with it.
I think it’s normal to feel that way though! Like maybe you just haven’t found the right thing yet? But def agree that somethings require more of a push
If money wasn't a issue, I would to be a actor. I've done it and loved it. Background lead day player even been a Production assistant. Love the whole atmosphere
Tbh and this is going to sound terrible but I hate learning. For me, it takes so much mental strength. Not necessarily on an intellectual level but on like a mental health level. Every time I’m taking classes for college I have breakdown after breakdown. Perhaps learning without the pressure of getting a good grade wouldn’t be so mentally debilitating.
I started with an accounting major. Then I realized that even though I was very organized and good with numbers, it was boring af lol.
So then I switched to environmental science. I'm passionate about the environment and thought it would be a good fit. Then it became numbers, and when I asked my professor what a 'day in the life' of an environmental scientist was like, I realized that was also something I didn't want to do.
I had to think about what brought me REAL, LASTING joy... I noticed that when I cook, I get into "the zone". I get genuinely excited to experiment with flavors, I love cooking shows, and when I was a waitress I'd look at the chefs in the kitchen with envy. Even though starting out is a garbage salary, I didn't care after being so miserable trying to get through my university classes about things I didn't give a shit about lol.
I'm almost 29. And even after going through years of military service to pay for college and then a couple years more in uni, I said F*UCK IT. I wanna do what I love, regardless of how much it pays!

One thing I really love if money wasn't an issue is to perform, to sing, to dance, on stage anywhere. I also want to lead people and just join different organizations, and just attend seminars to learn. I also want to travel with my family and friends without worrying about money. I feel alive everytime I do these things, but lately because of that one factor, which is my current "career path" it's giving me a lot of anxiety and frustration. *sigh
Hey you sound like me! lol I know exactly how you feel. From reading your comment I can tell we have a lot in common. From one dream chaser to another I think you should in a way embrace your frustrations, allow these feelings to empower you instead of bringing you down. I wake up every morning at 5ish am and go to work for 10 hours a day. I get frustrated at myself because I know what I would rather be doing, singing, writing music, spending more time with my loved ones. But its that very frustration the fires me up and reminds me that I am in control of my life! I won't stop ever, someone once said I can live with failure, but i can't live with regret!" I hope that this was helpful for you! By the way I subscribed to you so I hope you keep the dream going!
@@jaszminrg Aweee, this means so much to me! I feel so much comfort reading this as I am not alone in my journey. Thank you so much! I hope you would also keep dreaming and keep going! God bless you!
@@kriziacc1988 Anytime! We gotta support each other!!
I love to see everyone evolving and understanding that conformity isn't the norm. I am a life purpose coach and one thing I speak about with my clients is when it comes to passion it isn't always something that comes innately. Passion can be cultivated by exploring different things which can lead to our purpose. Passion also doesn't mean its something we are going to enjoy every single day. The biggest thing that keeps us going is the WHY. Passion is subject to change because we change and evolve. The more flexible we are with exploration and trying new things the more we give ourselves better opportunities at finding different things to be passionate about. I absolutely love your positivity. Such a beauty ❤
I've found your videos really comforting recently as I am not happy in life and how life is for everyone. I hate 9-5 work and this past yeah of working from home has been the only good thing about it. Soon they're forcing us back into the office while most other departments can have a choice or preference.
Really wishing you the best and hoping you can remain working at home! It makes such a huge difference and gives more room to pursue your passion on the side
I found my purpose after being injured and hitting burnout. Started our market farm and love it because we help people get great healthy food. Don't think about money because it comes & Go's. our business main purpose is to help people not focus on money and will come. Thank you
Yesss I’m such a firm believer that when we live to serve money will just flow to us! I love this!❤️
I just discovered your channel and each video you put out feels truly valuable as a person trying to find their way. Amazing work, amazing channel, amazing topics. Love hearing your voice, your input, and thought process. Wishing you and everyone reading this a beautiful, restful night!
If money wasn’t a factor I would be and certified doula/midwife AND a nutrition genomist in which you study how food affects each persons individual genetics. But unfortunately since I have to put myself through school at the moment I can only choose one which is the genomist.
Wishing you the best in pursuing both once you finish school!❤️
my passion is singing and making music, writing books, those sorts of things, but i have no idea what i'm supposed to major in. it's hard not to stress over it especially when so many people keep asking me what i wanna do. like i just wanna make music for the rest of my life :/
Maybe consider music production or something along those lines.. also consider if you need to major in something or if you can perhaps complete a career certificate where you can learn a skill related to your ideal career.
Maybe a vocal coach or teach people how to play an instrument
English would be an amazing major if thats what you wanna do , i wanna do the same things you mentioned and i am an English major , at first i hated it because i don't read books but it has helped me in lyric writing
Love how you said in order to become an expert, you should do it and not just learn about it. And distractions will be the death of us if we allow them to. Enjoyed this 🙌🏽
always right on time, I just started my channel and I find myself overthinking what to make content abt since I have so many interests and finding a "niche" feels so redundant bc I have a lot to offer, and I start overthinking so much I forget to just do it lol thank you for this reminder.
I love that you're encouraging people to prioritize things that bring them more fulfilling joy and self care regardless of the money! I've always answered this question by saying I'd just travel... lol but I've set my career sights on being a graphic designer and am on my first step
Can always tell when introspection is someones good friend, appreciate people like you.. certain level of awareness
I was literally asking myself this question thank you😩 I'm just wondering what am I ambitious about and why I'm on this Earth, like what is my impact? And what gives me joy? So just thanks cause I needed to hear this.
Same:( I’m doing nursing but only bc I know I’ll be secure financially. I’m not really passionate about it but man I can’t wait until I figure out what I’m passionate about😅. It seems like something you only hear other people talk about bc I haven’t yet figured out what I’m passionate about.
My friends met you at the SXSW conference and been following you ever since, it’s good I’m not the only one fed up with this work culture
I forreal was just thinking about how I can’t even think of a passion because I’m so worried about money. I just graduated college and I want to do what I love, but these student loans bills are like nope sis find a job right now.
Same here!!!!!
I know that exact feeling, debt can feel so imprisoning and I spent the last year putting so much of my money into paying it off. Wishing you the best and just know that divine timing is real, just keep pushing for what you love as often as you can!❤️
I am glad you posted this, and this also made me question if I wanted to go to a “good” college or attend one that is closer but makes me feel less stressed about the price.
Great video and definitely avoid distractions. This is something I realized I needed to do and the universe is speaking to me because I literally heard this 3 times today. I found my passion and that's starting an online boutique...launching in August 2021✨
You’re so well spoken i love playing your videos in the background and learning new things
I found flexibility training, karaoke, and commissioning artist to create illustrations for me are things I love. I even have a big creative goal involving a hybrid from of live-action anime.
I’m so impressed with your poise and wisdom. Thank you for encouraging us to not be stagnant robots, and to focus on project-based passion projects!
If money wasn't a factor I'd dive into acting and traveling. I really love performing and I love putting myself in new surroundings. But there isn't a lot of stability in being an actress and I need money to travel so... here I am LMAO
Yess I am the same!! I'm currently trying to be an actress and I'm studying theatre in college but I also really want to travel. How do I plan to do that with no money... No idea lol
Lynette you literally are my spirit animal lmaooo I was literally telling myself to pause alil on watching so much CZcams so that I can put more focus on my content. I have planned so much content and as much as I want to support my favorite creators in trynna create too n I need to make room for that as well. Love your content hun❤️.
I REALLY like this, I actually feel encouraged bcuz I’m trying to figure that out for myself now! What do I wanna do? Working a 9-5 til I’m 65 sounds dumber & dumber everyday when i think of it, & I’m jamaican so ofc my dad wants me to finish college but Idk if I really want that or if I just want financial security…either way I’m just now trying be a little more productive & made my sleeping schedule apart of self care for starters
Man Lynette I love how you understand how everyone really feels. I appreciate the honesty and truthfulness of being careful of addictions, distractions and going for the natural joy in life.
I don’t really comment on CZcams videos but your channel is one of few that I actually look forward too seeing because I know these are real topics that can help all of us just get through life. I’m really grateful that I found your page and hope you keep making more videos!!
Wow thank you so much I’m so glad!!
I recalled why I started what I’m doing, initially it was me doing thing’s outside to reflect the inner state of being which I tap into with Meditation, An effortless state but it was the part where I needed to create a stream of income where I started coming up with various ways of income this video came in time when I’m Integrating this inward space now helps me realise what I actually want to elaborate in my life and what I would want to minimise 🙂✨ Thank you so much for this tip it helped a lot
What a wonderful message. I think your content is awesome - super mix of knowledge, opinion, business, motivation, spirituality, criticism, culture, creativity, yeah, and so on... Thanks for sharing.
Crazy how you came through with this video. I was at work last night thinking of the same question. It made me realize how much limiting beliefs I had. Also how much trust I DIDNT have in the universe to get what I want. It's time to let go and trust if I ever want what I want and realize..nothing is too good to be true.
Yesss I’m so glad you mentioned how we actually do love learning and should be learning but learning isn’t 1 size fits all 👏🏾. Love your videos!
Thank you!!
This video was just amazing. I love the tips, it feel so practical to do.
Everything you say is literally everything I think. Absolutely admire the way you articulate your thoughts and feelings. Thank you so much for your videos they’re really helpful. Love u 💕
That background music is a vibe! Love your videos too, keep em coming!
I love your videos because you're so 100% right. Lately I have gotten back into art and learning to draw better, just for fun. I haven't done anything 'just for fun' in about a decade! It feels really nice.
So so happy for you! It’s like we’re re-connecting with our inner child when we’re tapping into what brings us joy. Wishing you the best 🤗💞
Even my second half of 2020 was spent in "How to grow on YT" rather than actually doing it.
Thank you, this video was really insightful 💝
My passion is traveling...but more specifically, when I travel, I like to see the different ways vegan food is made when I travel. I think that is monetizable, like a travel blog? I like food :D
That's so cool. And yes that is for sure monetizable. Don't be shy and share your blog link or Instagram Account, would love to follow your journey 🤩
I love that and would def love to follow a travel blog like that 🥰
Whoa two people replied 😮 so cool and that is encouraging for me thank you ❤️
!! I literally feel like I have convinced myself that I don't have really any passions because half to most of the ones I wanted to explore past a basic level costs money OR I had people around me (family is a factor for some of us too) who thought what I was doing was a waste of time, and intended to me that I should get right to committing my life to work :( I KNOW that I'm someone that likes to do and try a variety of things deep down inside, but I think I even convinced myself that there's nothing I want to do anymore and I've tied negative memories to things I like due to money and family.
This is so me. I really enjoy drawing and I wanted to make art my living and also design clothes for fashion shows. But I've been doubting myself, doubting if I can actually make a living out of it and whether it's something I want to do for a long time. And I guess I've attached it to monetary passions and it's really discouraging that I have to attach money to everything I like doing.
Breaking free from those limiting beliefs around money and doing what you love can be so so hard, especially when it comes from family. A lot of times it’s just them projecting their own fears around money onto you. I wish you all the best, do not give up bc the more you recognize where those limiting beliefs come from the more power you have to turn them around!
I love how you talk about learning, thank you.
I'm 32 year old and I have been working in the healthcare field for over 7 years. My degree is health management. If money were not an option , I would love to flip art. I always loved art! This video really opened up my eyes!
i love the concept of this video and it has motivated me to continue to keep on expanding my path with life and with learning new interests because my mom has lived her life telling everyone that you must go to college and you have to stick to that one thing you’re good at but this video has truly changed my aspect on my life and what i can do for myself
Your videos always come at the right time. I’m in the middle of recording my first video 😅
Me stressed about not knowing what to do at the age of 14 😂
Even at 34, you still won't know your future. We should normalize not knowing!
Get a little job and go invest your money now with Investment companies and not the banks! Build your wealth now and network with people who are smarter than you
I suggest trying basically everything, if you know what I mean. Join any extracurricular you think you could enjoy (not too many for stress reasons of course) and just try new things. You will eventually find out.
@@theprettypaw4615 thanks
Not to mention is it rly smart to have us passion as a job,people change and our passion changes.the job should pay for your passion,as long as you’re ok with your work and don’t make unneccesary relationships in jobs. Its different ofc if u want to be a doctor or something like that where u know u will thrive in that job,let it be your passion job.
Generally That job should pay for your passions,travelling,photography,etc. For your living.
Wonderful insights and wisdom dear, it's such a good idea to sit with yourself and feel what it is your heart truly craves. Full watch
I feel personally attacked, because I do EXACTLY what you just described: learn more about the thing than actually doing the thing lol. But for me, the idea of failure is so crippling that to this day I’m still struggling with it and this year has been the greatest growth experience ever! So I’m slowly ripping off more bandaids and diving in (sometimes with my eyes closed lol), but with every bandaid I rip off and see how easy it was the more confident I become and the more I’m willing to try. So this video was an affirmation that I’m off to a great start!
I figured that Philosophy could be my passion. Thanks for the video, very useful.
I would like to offer some unsolicited insight to those who find this comment.
The ability to create is a beautiful thing and one of the gifts we were born with. We literally are creating our reality with our moment to moment thoughts, words, and deeds.
Even though we are creating on a daily basis, to create the life we want, we have build the foundation of it. Imagine all the things you would like to do that you might not be doing that could make you money (writing, drawing, making CZcams videos, etc). Those things are like cinder blocks and you need those to build the foundation of your new house (your new life).
Making a CZcams video, writing an article, drawing/painting a picture, etc. is like setting a block down and building your foundation. Don't depend on that one article or piece of art or CZcams video to make you rich where you can just chill and not do anything anymore. That rarely happens and you actually don't want it to happen. It might make you lazy. You want to always be creating because that's what we are here to do. We are literally here to create our life and love the process.
So if you are working a job you hate and want to start creating the life you want, understand the journey and process is what will make your heart and soul happy just as much as when you finally get to the point where you can quit your job and work for yourself.
I felt this video in my soul. I refuse to live my life working 40 hours a week doing something I really don't give af about. I want to live a life of beauty, existence, fulfillment and a traditional corporate job provides none of that. Also, it takes a lot of courage to be honest with yourself. Are you living your life to fulfill yourself or to fulfill society's standard of what success is? That could realizing you went to college to study a subject because you thought it would bring you money and social respect, when in reality you hate the field.
I had a passion. I spent my childhood learning, studying into high school, studying into college, and then moving to the location where I would have the best outcome.
I gave it my all for almost 35 years. I never really got anywhere, due to a variety of circumstances.
I took other jobs for a while and had something resembling a career for 15 years. But now, I'm in a position where I found out that I am Autistic, and I have a 5.5 year gap.
So Vocational Rehab is asking me, "What do you want to do?"
I don't know.
So they ask me what I love. I tell them what I love, and that I already tried, and this cannot be monetized for me.
VR can't help me. I'm out of options.
I was looking for a video on this topic earlier today! So glad
Divine timing!💞
I would just do fun shit everyday, I would never stop learning about new skills and topics, I would travel, I would spend time with friends and family and new people. I would cook and spend time by myself too. I would fly planes or drive race cars, I would write and draw and go outside. I would sing and dance.
But I can still do most of these things anyway even if I have a job.
This video came at the most perfect moment for me
I'm so glad!❤️
I've spent 3 years "learning how to do CZcams" with little to no execution 🥴
Girl SAME! Now’s our time!
I’m finishing up my finance degree but I’m leaning into doing more creative things
I’m always so happy whenever you upload a new video ❤️
I loved this video so much! Thankyou Lynette☺🤗❤. Keep them coming!
If you're young and considering a career or vocation in a certain area, for God's sake, do an interview with someone who's experienced in that field, AND make damn sure to be blunt and ask them to tell you not just what they love about their field, but also, what they hate about it. Failure to do this IMO, is why the average College student changes their major two or more times! Doing "informational interviews" will help you avoid taking unnecessary training(s) or obtaining inappropriate degrees. As a retired vocational/academic Counselor, I can't tell you how many folks jump right into obtaining degrees, only to find they hate the actual career!
A few ways to find out what you'd love to do or put things into perspective. It can change overtime but that's okay.
1) you're going to die in an year or two.
2) you've achieved financial freedom and abundance, and have loads of free time in your hands.
3) you're on your death bed( or a garden dying) and glance back at life and see the things you did.
I have a lot of passions, but I also have a job that slowly kills me( word to the song no surprises by radiohead). Jobs create complacency, but if you can notice the pattern and rewire it, that's a start. To whoever reading this, love and peace. Take it easy.
Your energy is pure fr 💛♎
Thank you ❤️
@@LynetteAdkins No problem stay pure and bright. Sending you the deepest and infinite divine insight and divine love ☀
This was so helpful sis! Thank you so much for sharing.
For all of 2020 money wasn't a factor for me...so I became depressed.
Finding my purpose has ALWAYS been my biggest struggle. I still have not cracked the code to this day.
So inspiring vdo. I totally agree that we somehow trapped in the system that make we forgot what we are ment to be in this world. Thank you for your great VDO.🙏🙏🙏
Also what’s the instrumental you used for the video?
I am so fukeng happee that during this time of my self-exploration you posted this. Feels like a huge hug from the Universe.
Soo much truth in this video. Thanks for sharing Lynette! ❤️
I needed this today. Thank you
Your video be so timely I have so many ideas to do for career 23 I so money driven it blind me to see what I really want to do social media break essential I notice the more you watch someone the more you feel that what you suppose be doing time in stillness helps
Love your videos, and the social media time waste is on point!
you NEED a podcast!!
Omg one dayyyy
I’m so happy I can’t across this video . This season I want to pursue my passion in making natural skin care products.
I've been wanting to start a youtube channel on and off for many years but I always get overwhelmed by anxiety when I think about picking up the camera and actually filming. Any advice? I love your videos btw! :)
I would love to be a art therapist but those kind of jobs are hard to find
You can do it, I looked into it as well, and a masters in fine art is required to be an art therapist. Sounds like a fun job!
I really love your content…. It’s like a breath of fresh air 😊
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this video, I really needed it...
I highly appreciate your video.
Although I don't my goal exactly but I'm sure that whenever I speak english on the at my class it made me confident and comfortable .And then,I think of me that I'm skillful giving advice to my depressed friends be modivated.i enjoy studying Psychology. Now,As I'm student ,I wanna know my goal exactly, Could you give me advice what should I do?
Hi! I discovered your channel by searching great resignation & have been sharing your videos in posts on my Community tab.
Your advice is so practical and at the same time compassionate. What are your views on Worker Co-ops? I would love for Richard Wolff to have you on his Economic Update show.
I would be living in the woods chilling with my loved one traveling around this beautiful great American country.
Everything you say makes me nod my head in agreement 👏🏾
I agree buying courses is helpful. I have been learning about mercari and poshmark. Soon I would like to resell. They are many things people are do in the internet.
whats the intro instrumental ?
I'm glad that I know what I'm passionate about. RAP. I WILL be successful at making it in the music industry. Sooner than you think. This video was incredibly inspiring. Thank you for this. Much luck to everyone on their very own paths to success/happiness. Keeping vibing high. 🌟🥂
Yes, speaking that into existence for you as well! Wishing you the best 🙏🏽✨
Your video helped me just start recording. Thanks
i find with myself i get bored of everything super easily and get distracted. even though I know the thing I am learning is so interesting and will benefit me. With everything, I do I really need to put in the effort to go through with it.
I think it’s normal to feel that way though! Like maybe you just haven’t found the right thing yet? But def agree that somethings require more of a push
This was a really informative video, thank you Madam.
I love this girl!
If money wasn't a issue, I would to be a actor. I've done it and loved it. Background lead day player even been a Production assistant. Love the whole atmosphere
Very excited to watch this video 🙌🏻👀💖
I love this, I agree 100%
Tbh and this is going to sound terrible but I hate learning. For me, it takes so much mental strength. Not necessarily on an intellectual level but on like a mental health level. Every time I’m taking classes for college I have breakdown after breakdown. Perhaps learning without the pressure of getting a good grade wouldn’t be so mentally debilitating.
