Matt: Travel. Covid-19: No.

Things I wish I knew: 1. Do what makes your soul happy. 2. Dont force relationships/friendships. 3. Stop buying things only to impress other people.

Matt: “i hadn’t gone on a date in FIVE years” Me: *hasn’t been on a date in 19 years*

1. Take responsibility for yourself 0:46 2. Confidence builds by doing 2:07 3. Document more 3:35 4. Use moisturiser 6:11 5. Go on more dates 7:22 6. Travel now 9:31

“Go on more dates” “Travel more” Bold of you to assume I’m not ugly and broke.

Still only being 17 and having all these wise people to learn from is sure as hell nice. Thanks, Matt.

Things i wish i had started doing earlier (i'm 25) 1. Reading at least 10 pages x day of a great book. (May not sound like alot but just do the math and see how many books you could be reading in a year). 2. Exercise at least 5 - 10 minutes every day (Same principle. Several ppl tries to do huge exercise routines that they can't keep up with. Keep it simple and easy but steady) 3. Meditate (I used to laugh of ppl doing meditation until i really tried it and found my inner self. This is hard to explain so just give it a try and you'll experience what i mean) 4. Cut distractions (NetFlix, Excessive amount of hours playing online games, Phone and social media) 5. Devote at least 90 minutes of conscious hard work x day to my craft (profession) 6. Be a student at least for 60 minutes a day. (it can be anything... a book, a podcast, a youtube video from one of your mentors) 7. Be grateful for the things that i already have and those that i'm in the process of manifesting. Gratefulness is very powerfull! 8. Waking up early at least from Monday to Friday (5 am) --> There's magic and alot of room for self development in the early hours of the day (while everyone else is sleeping) 9. Understanding that will power is a muscle. So you need to exercise every single day by taking action . 10. When you feel like you don't really want to do something that you should do (wathever it is) is definitely the best time to do it (builds will power)

That hilarious moment when is midnight, you've just turned 20 and this is is the first thing that appears in your youtube recommendations.. After a year edit: Happy Birthday everyone!!

Two things I wish I knew when I was 20: mental health is just as important as physical health and it’s okay to ask for help

He’s so proud of his opening joke 😂 that lil’ smirk

" 6 Things I Wish I Knew at 20 " *sweats in 27*

1. DON'T SMOKE 2. Your opinión about yourself is the only one that matters so work hard on accepting yourself. 3. Be present in the beautiful moments 5. Put limits to your phone 6. Allow yourself to love more

1- take responsibilities 2- confidence builds by doing 3- document more 4- use moisturizer 5- go on more dates 6- travel now

Things I wish I knew when I was 20 Stay away from negative people and don't try to change them!

Another important thing: Never regret anything. No matter how small or how big it is. People really don't know how much time and energy it eats up from your life.

Things I wish I knew when I was 20: - don’t wait for your parents’ approval to do the things you love - take a chance on yourself because the path you want to take might not look the same as someone else doing what you want to do - i’ve got a sh*t ton of limiting beliefs about money and it’s better I look at it 20 - don’t take myself too seriously and enjoy the creative process of getting to know myself and my purpose - get rid of the sentence “when I achieve X, then I’ll be happy”

Things I Wish I Knew at 20 1. Matt

1. Develop good hobbies. 2. Make friendships last. Work on good friendships. 3. Don’t be rude. Being nice is cool.

"Confidence builds by doing" - As someone who overthinks himself into being paralyzed and unable to just take action so often, this is so true. The simple act of getting started almost always turns into a snowball effect of confidence and motivation.

1) be grateful for the mundane. After you've been through it, being "just ok" can be really, really good 2) don't compare your circumstances to others 3) use every drop of your "young" energy/drive 4) but have a routine/ritual for self care 5) some people are only meant to be a part of your life for a certain duration, don't hold on too tightly (still learning that one)

the world is so lucky to have this man

I'm 18 and I'm so glad that I stepped accidentally with your channel 3 months ago. Thank you for your advice and thanks for existing

Now, I'm on my 20s. And I have accumulated these lessons for myself: 1. Develop your curiosity 2. Less is more (that's why I love minimalism) 3. Invest in your mind 4. Whatever you're doing (hate it or love it), do your best.

I wish i knew two things at 20. "You are who your friends are...." "Meditation."

1.4M subs... unreal dude. So happy to see quality channels getting the recognition they deserve. Keep doing your thing my dude!

Things I wish I knew: 1) Don't spend more than you earn. 2) Make time for your friends 3) Don't settle with someone, just because it's been this way for a while. 4) Seek out your friends and family for advice. 5) Invest time and money into the thing(s) that you truly care about.

Things i'm learning in my 20s: -Take risks NOW -Take these years as a training for the game of life, don't be hard on yourself - Don't accept the reality you've been sold, you can get out of the box

1. Don’t buy stuff that you’re not gonna use in a year or 10 years 2. Don’t split your focus on more than 1-2 ventures 3. Think about 2nd and 3rd order consequences 4. Invest in stocks extra money instead of investing them on drugs, alcohol and cigarettes 5. Track your habits P.s. I tried a lot of shit(drugs,girls) traveled to 24 counties by hitchhiking and all of that when I was 18-20 I am so glad that I did all of that stupid shit and didn’t die and I have all of that documented on my Instagram which I don’t use lol. Now I just work on my self, improving my job skills, read books, eat healthy and workout everyday, plan my days and stay very minimalistic

Things I wish I knew when I was 20 1. Spend quality time with family, as you never know when they will be taken away from you. 2. Start good habits such as meditation and working out. 3. Girls aren't everything. 4. Materialist items aren't everything. 5. Don't take anything for granted.

I'm 20 now and i have never clicked so fast on a notification from youtube 😂

"Travel now" Me : damn he's right thats actually a good idea, i think imma travel to... My wallet : no

Everyone is saying they are “poor” to travel. Change that mindset. Be positive, don’t ever say you’re poor even when money is limited. A little adventure in your backyard, town, or down the road is ok!! Also, save some money and plan a small trip with a significant one (a friend, a love one, or a family member) and meet new places. You won’t regret it.

*Six Things I Knew At 20* 1. Take Responsibility 0:47 2. Confidence Builds By Doing 2:09 3. Document More 3:36 4. Use Moisturizer 6:11 5. Go On More Dates 7:23 6. Travel Now 9:32

1. Take responsibility 2. Confidence builds by doing 3. Document more 4. Go on more dates 5. Travel now 6. Use moisturizer EDIT: I'm not discouraging you to watch the whole video, I just needed to write the 6 points down :D

As a 19 year old, i really needed to hear some of this. Thanks

Things I wish I knew at 20: 1. Do more self-help and development 2. Spend less time on dating 3. Be patient and don’t try to master everything 4. Read more books 5. Document my thoughts more often 6. Explore more unconventional paths

I can't believe this included a skin care routine; amazing

THIS WAS PUBLISHED ON MY BIRTHDAY. AND TODAY IS ALSO MY 20TH BIRTHDAY!!! I'M SO LUCKYYY!!!

Things I'm learning a week away from being 20: -It's okay to say no, it's your life and you get to choose what you're okay with. - just because you're sad doesn't mean you're sick or broken, you have to eat right, drink water, sleep, socialise, exercise and meet your other personal needs first. - Try to make the most out of your money, sometimes spending all your money on partying is just not worth it. -There's always tomorrow, a bad day doesn't have to be a bad week :) -Rediscovering things you loved as a child is so important -EXPLORE

I really wish I knew this earlier: DON'T LEAVE YOUR SELF HANGING IN A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP. SAVE YOUR TIME AND ENERGY FOR BETTER RELATIONSHIPS.

"Travel now" me, a broke ass 21 y/o who can't even afford my lunch sometimes: now sounds like a GREAT time to go to japan

6 Things I Wish I Knew at 20 Me: *interesting these could help me . . I'm 21* Also me: *ends up being distracted by those biceps*

I'm about to turn 65, so I've had almost 47 years of adult experiences. Don't do anything or buy anything to impress other people. They will mostly not notice or care, and even if they do it will only be fleeting and soon forgotten. The few times other people in this world notice you it will be because they see you do something good and productive when no one else is around. The only way to never be taken advantage of or lied to is to live in a hole in the ground, so accept the fact that you're going to be duped every once in a while. Being totally happy or unhappy about anything is childish. Don't do that as an adult. Being young -- under 30 -- is a very short period of time and when it's over everyone around you will have filled their emotional plate with family, friends, and earning a living. You are ten times more likely to make new friends from age 18-30 than after that. At the end of your life it will be about what you did, not what you wanted to do or did to impress other people or even yourself. A bucket list can be doing 1,000 small things rather than ten epic things. As the people you know are picked off by cosmic roulette you will realize how lucky you are at every age. People start dying in their 20s, 30s, and 40s and it only accelerates. Don't stay angry at others for being stupid or doing you wrong. You have a lot to be forgiven for too. Every life is its own Rubik's Cube with a unique pattern of success and failure. Figure out your own life because no one else can or will. Looking back isn't a waste of time. Be of good will, in a world that often has little. This too shall pass. Write your own paragraph about this topic NOW, not ten years from now, and update it every year or two because you will evolve. Let it happen.

Things I wish I knew 1. Do things for my own life no one else’s 2. Learn financial skills 3. Travel 4. Do more hobbies I love 5. Take responsibility

*#1 thing to know in 20's is that everything worthwhile, takes time to build, achieve, attain and master.* Take your time to figure out what you love and don't be rushed by societal pressure.

Turning 20 in half an hour. Quick, I gotta know all the stuff!

What I learned is contradictory to his: Don't date too many girls. Ugly relationship can ruin you life. You can have a good relationship when you're already happy and content.

“Confidence builds by doing” that’s a gem.

I'm glad I failed early on in life. Sometimes you have to struggle now if you want to be great in the future.

1. Taking responsibility 2. Confidence builds by doing 3. Document more 4. Use moisturiser - good skincare routine 5. Go on more dates 6. Travel now Watch the video anyway. Was very helpful

I came about your channel recently and have watched almost every video of yours. Your advices have really helped me make changes in the last few weeks.

I’m 19 this year, and I keep coming back to this video to remind myself of the things you say in it. Each time, I realise I’ve been neglecting at least 1 of the 6 things on this list. Thanks, Matt. You’ve made a world of difference in my life.

1. Show those you love, that you love them. 2. Stop comparing your life to others . 3. Plan for the Future, but Enjoy the Present. Really..don't let not having money stand in your way.

1. Taking responsibility. (0:46) 2. Confidence builds by doing. (2:08) 3. Document more. (3:36) 4. Use Moisturiser. (6:12) 5. Go on more dates. ( 7:21) 6. Travel now. (9:32)

Noted these tips... I'll be turning 20 in a few days! Makes me excited to face this another phase of my life. 💜

Just randomly came across your channel and im SO STOKED! You are an absolute legend. Needed something like this in my life.. needed to hear a lot of this. Thank you 🙏🏼

Things I wish I knew when I was 20 * happiness is a choice that you make * Meditating 5-10 minutes a day drastically everyday decreases anxiety * Pursue whatever passion intrigues you * your posture and body language determine and influence your mood

23 currently and I am thankful for this video!💛

as a 20 year old watching this, some of the things you said really make me think deeper about my life and where i am now. so much respect for you and what you do, matt! don't ever stop doing what you do. your filmmaking is inspiring.

I will let u know in three years since i am 17...love the videos.It keeps me motivated and inspired

So this is what I learned since I turned 20: Ah shit I'm 14

Yes! More minimalistic goodness, and not so minimalistic biceps. Thanks for what you do Matt!

I just turned 20 and this is great advice. I have only recently realised how important it is to go out and do things and appreciate what you have especially taking more pictures or videos to look back on in the future. I definitely want to travel more and once COVID is over, force myself to go on more dates, it is really easy to think that something bad is going to happen, but the worst that happens is they aren't that interesting, then you never see them again but the potential benefits are usually always worth it!

I love your videos because of your style - actually living a minimalist life also because of your advices - and quality. Keep it up Matt! Roberto

I am sorry but your biceps are really distracting. Your body is literally goals

I can't believe you came to Costa Rica! I live here! Daaamn! Next time I go to USA I won't let you know either.

Matt iam soooo happy that we have a youtuber like you .your content is really special,and I enjoy watching them :)

Agreed Matt! “Confidence builds by doing” I can learn all about a topic but until your start doing/practicing it. It’s just pure knowledge. The action is needed for results !

Im sitting here at 20 years old, frustrated with myself and looking for the way out. This video helps put things into perspective for me. Thanks Matt.

Fun fact: my dopamine levels go up 10.3% when I see a Matt D'Avella video.

It’s such a hard time for me now and you’re like a fresh breath for me. I really appreciate it, thank you!

Man thank you so much! I'm actually 21 now and I've had all those ideas in my mind for 1 or 2 years! But I'm getting there, I'm little by little starting to do all of this things and I'm so happy about it!

"go on more dates" *laughs in lonely*

I always feel so motivated and inspired to be a good person after watching your videos Also in need of coffee

Loved this video! I’m 26 and hadn’t even considered some of the things on this list , but 100% agree.. thanks for the inspo :)

Thank you for inspiring me Matt. Nothing I say could adequately express my gratitude. 😊 12 months of 30 days starts next week! Thanks again.

I'm currently 19 and am continuously sabotaging myself with self- doubts about my future and what I'd like to do. But your videos provide some guidance. Thank you Matt!

I turned 20 today, and this legend uploaded a video about what to do at the age of 20, thank you for uploading this video, Matt. Honestly, you've helped me change so much. Love from India! :D

I'm 22 and this video gives me a sense of relief :D ..Thank you so much for putting this out there please give some more of it ,make a new video about the advice that you left earlier

Im 21 i will follow all your advices dude you are doing great job

Damn! Your biceps look bigger the more I stare at them

It’s nice to know that a hunk like Matt was anxious about self-appearance and dating. Appreciate you for sharing with such honesty 🙂

I got to know your page last night and since then I’m in live with it. It’s filled with good vibes

document more is so amazing man, I had a heartbreak last December (2019) and it was so hard for me, I recorded my voice one night on February, I was crying and so pathetic and I said that "I know I'm going to get over this and I'm recording this to remind myself that I'm worthy and capable of love and I'm so strong that I'll get over this and move on in no time" I recorded another one in march that was less pathetic but still, then I recorded one in April and that was another person. When I listened again to those recordings, I could remember that I was miserable but I could not remember how it felt or how loving someone feels, that was the numb phase that's still going on where I don't remember a particular feeling unless I indulge myself in it. I've decided to DOCUMENT MORE since then. It's amazing, like when you read your old diary but you feel more connected to the sound of your voice.

I'm in my early 20s and one thing I would advise is while you may not be chasing your passions, be passionate about what you chase. Thanks for the video, Matt!

Things I Wish I Knew at 20... Oh shit I'm 20 right now

Thank you ! You hit a spot in my heart with taking videos with your family that’s such a good idea

Completely agree with all the points mate. So continue to make that great content!

Top 5 things I've learned and practice since I was 20 (I'm 27 now): 1. Reliability 2. Accountability 3. Responsibility 4. Financial awareness 5. Getting over my fear of answering the phone/emails (still have to put effort into that one).

cleansing 2/day (morning & night) moisturizing 2/day after cleanse exfoliating 2-3/week Thanks Natalie (& Matt:D)

I’m glad that by the time I’ve watched this video of you Matt; I’m turning 20 within less than a month. So thank you for these tips that are coming from a successful guy like you. Keep up the great work.

Thank You so much! As somebody that is 20 now, I really appreciate your ideas. I need to be more responsible for myself, but also I didn't realize how much free time I have. Thank you!

I am 20... this was perfect. Thank you Matt, just some stuff I really needed to hear

Things I wish I knew at 20: *Don’t give up your own dreams for someone else’s *Find mentors *Learn to build good habits *Travel

Something very subtle about this video makes me feel happy. I feel like its summer. Strange I know, it is what it is. Thanks Matt!

9:23 THis just flicked a switch in my head. Really needed to hear that. thanks

Hmmm thanks for this Matt; it reminded me of a lot of past memories I've glazed over now. Here's my list: 1) Find your community. That club? That soririty? That frat you were so worried about joining? JOIN IT. Your future friends and future self will thank you. 2) Ask for help. Seek that guidance counselor, use the psych counseling resources on campus, there is nothing worse than isolating yourself in your apartment thinking you can't do shit when really you very much can. 3) Keep learning, keep asking questions. Yes, the classes you attend are huge and intimidating but 9 times out of 10 there's another student waiting for an answer for your question or a teacher waiting for a student to help them teach you better. 4) Find one creative hobby to exercise besides cooking/baking. Food is great but not when you consume it at your emotional convenience. You've always loved music singing, and writing, but maybe instead find a hobby which guarantees you will make time to destress (aka find a friend to keep you accountable). 5) Document your experiences, mundane or not. Your memory will falter and only get worse with your depression, so take the time to write down all the small things that made you happy or made you feel accomplished (again, your future self will thank you). 6) Tell your parents more about yourself. They'll ask you questions about your grades and how you're doing in class but don't let those things define you. Yes doing well in school is important but so is growing as a person. Whether this is gaining a new skill set, being more invested in social/political issues around you or being more aware of your emotions, don't be afraid to speak up. Don't let your parents say "I hardly know you". LET THEM SEE YOU. Whoo hoo this was fun! Definitely writing this down and pinning it for a reminder on days I forget to do these things.

I'm 22 right now and glad to see someone telling it how it is. Thanks matt I'm going to go to Bali now.

Thanks for sharing your story and advice. I’m currently 20 and it really opened my eyes to really do more and get out of my comfort zone.

Thanks for this content man! Idk but I have been watching your videos for a while now and Tbh, it helped me to think positive about my life situation and all being a milllennial and starting my own life. The clearness of your voice and how you converse just resonates to me. So, thank you, man! Continue to be a good influence to all of us. :)
