They make sure your work-life situation is balanced and sustainable, which ironically makes you feel more appreciated and you don’t mind working harder.

    I’m 39, grew up really poor, and from the time I was 12 I’ve worked and haven’t stopped working. I sacrificed my health and everything to get out of poverty. Didn’t have fun, didn’t travel, put work in front of my health. Now I have a good job, a house, out of poverty. And while I think working is important especially to get out of poverty, all the work caught up to me and my physical and mental health has massively suffered. Agree with this guy: Take time for enjoyment, for self care, and for health. In the end you can’t enjoy much without good health.

It’s important to listen to older people because they always have advice that can change your life.

    I get that he regrets working so much in his 20s, but I think that also comes from a "grass is greener" mentality--he's able to relax because of the seeds he planted early.
    I personally don't look back at my teens or early 20s as anything to be fond of. The people around me weren't very inspiring to be around. I wasn't in a position to interact with the world in the way I wanted, so I got to it. I worked very hard, kept my mind and body in pristine shape, and shut out the world. I accomplished many important things. I only made time for the most important people in my life. I explored what I felt was important to build a good foundation for life.
    Yes, I don't have the craziest social circle or many crazy fun stories to tell, but I *have* amassed a good base of wisdom, knowledge, money, and success that will carry me into my 30s and beyond. I treat what I have learned as gems, they are that valuable to me and others in my life. I am in tip-top physical shape, I eat well, and sleep great. I have my dream job with great work-life balance, and spend time off-work doing what I want to do. In other words, I can do whatever the hell I want, and I have a firm base for stability and happiness.
    Don't limit yourself in your youth by trying to "find happiness" too soon. Be in the present moment, but plan intelligently for the future.

      I agree wit you as someone extremely ambitious myself but I’ll tell you now, your looking at life with rose tinted glasses assuming your going to live long enough to enjoy the fruits of your labor. I’m not saying this to be morbid I’m being real. No one wakes up knowing that would be the last time. You HAVE to balance enjoying your life with your goals even if it takes you a few more years to accomplish them. I’ve seen people die the day they graduate. Just something to consider but I wish you success and you def have the right mindset

    • @Jodamo
      @Jodamo Pƙed rokem +25

      Mild counter perspective: I accomplished most of what I set out to do in my 20s and achieved my dream life. It felt good initially but ended up feeling empty. I got really good at chasing goals, striving for the future, but never learned how to just be. And the funny thing is a lot of the major points that led to achievement were sparked by luck--right place right time situations. I likely would have ended up equally successful regardless of any plans and goals I set or didn't set.
      So I'd say put the emphasis more on living and enjoying now. Yes you still need some general direction, but it's a small piece. You'll end up where you need to be and you can't really control the results that much anyway.

I expend more time having fun and expending time with people who I thou i love, life friends and family members. I never took like to extreme like to much party and drugs, however I did expend lots of energy and time in having fun.
    If I could do it all over again I’ll have expend more time in my career and learning more stuff. Creating a better future for my self. Making a family, expending less time with friends, because guess what those friends are not longer my friends.

    I’m 51 now. In my 20s I worked 55-60 hrs per week. My career was the most important thing. I also worked out every day and ate like Jack LaLane. I was in the best shape of my life. In my 30s I began to get into higher positions at work, which only caused enormous stress and inevitably led to weight gain and depression. My 40s arrived and the hardships in life began to subside. I started back up with my fitness regimen but it’s 10x harder now that my body was older and I’ve been out of it for a decade. I’m now 51 and promise myself that my 50s will be better than my 20s. I just need to get that 26 year old mindset back. But that’s hard to do when your world isn’t like it was when you had your whole life ahead of you and felt nothing but optimism at that time.

Take yourself out to do something fun or have a nice meal and a drink, sit there and know how good you have it.

    My issue is that I am tired, like way too tired. I have sleep apnea and it's being treated. My circulation sucks. Cramps happen too often. My feet keep sustaining Injuries because I walk, a lot, for my job.
    Getting older it feels more important than ever to take care of my physical health, but it keeps getting shelved as I take on more responsibility at work and in life generally. Will the increased work load ever balance out? Will the pressures of age help me lose weight?
    Idk. Probably not. Change is hard. Way harder than people want to think. Something like 2% of people that try to lose weight keep it off long term. I lost a hundred pounds once. I'm back where I started. I could do it again, but why didn't it stick the first time? I spent over a year doing the right things and what happened? I had to work more and more and more and it became harder to maintain good habits.

      INTERMITTENT FASTING / time restricted eating (start by skipping breakfast or dinner, easy 2 meals w/in 8 hour window ie btw 10am & 6pm) is an AWESOME hack -- helps with health and weight loss and money/ time saving! Almost effortless & with minimal/ no hunger!
      fewer meals/ less sugar & less simple carbs = fewer insulin spikes & fewer excess stored as fat
      more hours fasting =
      * your body switches energy source from just carbs to using/ "burning" your own excess already stored fat for fuel!
      * little or no hunger once your body adjusts (can take a few weeks)
      * AUTOPHAGY kicks in after approximately 18 to 20 hours+ of fasting. AUTOPHAGY= your body "eats"/ eliminates bad cells n toxins!!!
      * EXERCISE (Walking OK if out of shape &/or light body weight calisthenics) before you break your fasting window
      * Coffee/ Tea, plain no sugar is OK, during fasting window...
      Hint: Adding a bit of real heavy cream (or MCT oil or butter) won't break fast/ spike insulin (not all experts agree, but some do & it works for me YMMV)
      Gradually reduce the "feeding window" to 4 hours... or even 1 to 2 hour OMAD (one meal a day)
      Extra hacks:
      Eliminate or cut down ADDED SUGAR/ DESSERTS & most simple carbs.
      No or few processed foods/ empty carbs, No snacks (or fewer/ healthy ones)
      Add more salads (easy on dressing)
      Add more healthy fats (ie avocado, guacamole, organic free range eggs & meat, olive oil, olives, real butter, ghee, real heavy cream in coffee.. if allergic to dairy or if vegetarian/ vegan adjust accordingly & supplement vitamin B12)
      Just my two cents...
      It sounds too good to be true & is definitely counter intuitive...
      But, it's the single best thing I've encountered & it's worked amazingly well for me!

      Really take time to look at why gained it back...if work is it time at work? Commuting? The food at job? Stress of job? Used to cook and no more? Mental traps? Take care of yourself. You are important and worth it!

      Look man I'm 25 but hear me out. You just need to step back and take a deep breath and optimize. It sounds like you don't have the time to hit the gym everyday, that's fine. The gym lies WITHIN. Change is not hard, it's just that people in our society think you have to change everything all at once, which is not how nature works. If you walk a lot, maybe invest in some high quality barefoot shoes, and start paying attention to your walk. Feel your tendons and muscles and how they work. Practice walking with perfect form everyday. Engage the arms, the leg muscles, the abs, the back. Walk sideways, walk backwards, grow your muscles and coordination. Film yourself so that you can be your own coach. And have fun with it, that's the golden rule. Because when your having fun, the fat just melts off, and you spent so much time training and learning your body that it means less time eating. Plus once you start seeing muscles, your going to want to eat healthier because you'll want to see how far you can take this new version of you. But take it slow, put in just the right amount of intensity each day, not too much, not too little đŸ«Ą

    Money is very important. He mistook if for materialistic obsession which is true its not good. But you need money and the best ages to chase is is early 20s so you can live a confortable life with your loved ones in your 30s and 40s
