There's no quick way to find your purpose in life, but there are smart ways to go about it. I realized early in life the importance of investing for financial independence and have saved and invested with great returns using my education and skills. Since I don't have to work for money now, I started a KZfaq channel to teach other people about tax and wealth strategies. Making no money, but feeling more fulfilled :)

notes for myself: 1. focus on self-actualisation as an ACTION: - think actively about what may be fulfilling today / what progress i’ll be making toward goals today - reflect at the end of the day about what happens and my direction - NOT everything in my day will be fulfilling, but… - …actively SEEK opportunities to do things i enjoy and am good at doing - this is up to me to DO (no one will do it for me)… or, - …discover what i enjoy doing! ask: a) what would i do if money wasn’t an option? b) what activities do i lose myself in? time disappears? 2. seek fulfilment in diff. parts of my life, not just “my one passion” - even quiet moments can be lovely, doing hobbies, volunteering or spending time with others - few people have ONE fulfilling thing in life 3. build circle of positive influence: - who do i associate with? - who brings me down / drains my energy? spend less time with them - spend more time with people who are actively seeking fulfilment + trying to solve problems 4. be patient. - life is long, some weeks/months are dry or have zero results, but stick with it - something might seem unfulfilling at first but become fulfilling over time [edit: spacing]

Your lying on the beach analogy is actually correct! When I was 26, my husband and I quit our jobs to go travelling for a year. We backpacked to some amazing places and spent a crap tonne of time lounging on beaches in the Caribbean. However, the weirdest thing happened. After doing that for a few months, we actually got bored and missed feeling productive and being challenged in our lives. We ended up cutting out trip short and went back to our jobs (our employers took us back) after 9 months. As soon as I was back, I had new found motivation and was quickly promoted. I think I needed time away to see everything clearly and to figure out what I really wanted, but lying on a beach is NOT the answer. It’s definitely about having a balance between the two.

@Nina-dm2vw2 жыл бұрын
@@kevinlin8639 so many people questioned us on this while we were travelling and couldn’t understand how we did it. My husband was incredibly savvy at budgeting and we had a daily amount of spending we had to stick to. We did most of our travelling in areas which were inexpensive for eating and accommodation and backpacking but we always booked our own room never really bunking. We would usually spend between 25-50 USD per night on accommodation but used Agoda and got mega discounts as we continually booked through them and you earn points as you go. We also used Air BNB but it had really only just started and the quality of staying experiences was so good back then. We budgeted around $5 each per meal also. Which sounds like nothing but when you are travelling through Mexico, Central America, Thailand etc that is very doable. Europe was more and we budgeted for that, but we also just didn’t splurge on unnecessary stuff like expensive dinners etc. A lot of our travel was on shoulder seasons to peak times too so if you can handle not quite perfect weather, that’s a bonus. We were also not afraid of using public transport and figured out bus networks etc everywhere, even Guatemala, the Caribbean coast of Mexico, everywhere. We were always safe and never even got pickpocketed. I think we spent around $18,000 total. You just trust the process and go for it and things always work out. Best trip of my life that I still look back fondly on today.

Notes for myself: 1. Find something you enjoy in everyday life 2. Do not narrow down to 1 single passion. Fulfilment is to follow multiple pasions at the same time. 3. Build a circle of positive people around you. You can also read books, listen to podcasts to get ideas from positive creators 4. Be patient. Life is not always fulfiled, it's up and down and it's totally alright.

I've been thinking a lot about this as, last year, I let my job consume me and I'd work excess of 12 hour days just because I didn't know what else to do. Over Christmas I took time to think about fulfilment and I asked myself "if all jobs paid the same, what would you do?" Took some time to discover that and now I know that writing and creating videos energises me, I log off at 6pm latest as I genuinely look forward to spending time writing. I finish up the evening feeling energised, creative and inspired rather than drained and numb. I think it's really important to step back and ask ourselves these questions. It isn't always easy but it's certainly better than starting your life on day one of retirement...

Sure I’m doing fine on paper: great career, I own my apartment and my car, I’ve saved/invested tons of money, and I have a great body (I’ve been working out for the past 10 years). But other than that, I haven’t done anything exciting or fulfilling at all. I’m just going thru the motions every day, I never get out of my comfort zone and challenge myself. I barely have any friends, I’m always the one reaching out to them otherwise nothing happens, I haven’t experienced reciprocal love or intimacy, and I struggle to find any enjoyment in my life. Everything is so dull and boring. I’m frustrated by so many aspects, and I have a hard time accepting many things about me. I’ve been thinking about this for the past couple days and I just realized that nothing will change if it doesn’t come from me.

Great video Liam! Some random thoughts on things I have found helpful in seeking fulfilment, hopefully these might help others: - Slower mornings. I get up and give my self time to reflect. Early to bed too. - Clearly articulating (eg writing down) my passions and short, medium and long term goals. - Realising “good enough is good enough”, not always breaking my back. In this sense playing the long game and conserving my energy. - Exercise. Healthy body, healthy mind. At least 20 minutes a day. All exercise is good exercise. - A problem shared is a problem (part) solved. If I’m in a “funk” making an active effort to speak to someone about it. - Whatever task I’m doing trying to be as present as possible. - A bit borrowed from CBT, but actively moving my body and changing task if I’m feeling stuck. Good luck everyone!

The last bit is extremely important to me. Many times I've caught myself getting frustrated with an activity before investing enough time into that activity first. For example, joining new social circles: as a - somewhat - introvert, it felt hard at times surrounding myself with people. Many times I felt myself in "awkward silence" with people. But knowing my overall goal and fulfillment (being socially at ease) I forced myself to go out, talk and interact with people. And it became one of my "best" skills over time.

First off - Amazing production quality!! The opening scene was really well done, but the phone alarm right at the start did startle me LMAOO I loved most your point that you don’t always have to feel fulfilled every minute of everyday. Sometimes, there will be lulls in perceived progress but THAT’S OKAY. As long as you know you’re heading in the correct direction, you just gotta maintain perspective and look in 3-year terms rather than 3-day terms. Keep up the awesome content! 🥳

This video is mind blowing, Most times it amaze me greatly the way I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities are bound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus.

I've been studying online for 2 years (because of COVID) and I'm doing the same thing day in and day out. To learn. That crushes me. Of course the goal of graduation is somewhere, but the way there feels so repetitive. I hope I can find my motivation again soon.

I don’t find my life boring. To be honest, I’m a homebody and feel content if I don’t leave the house all week. But I do love to read books, experiment with new food, and watch movies especially if the setting are in the 40s-60s era. However, I’m a mom to two little boys and I want them to experience life. So I force myself to do something with them and every weekend we go somewhere different to hike or we take them to the beach.

I've reached the point where actually planning and having goals are so difficult to do now. I planned for uni...covid happened made that a living hell but we adapt and power through. Then I fell ill nobody can figure out what is wrong with me had to take time off uni. I'm really depressed, nothing makes sense I wake up everyday just going through the motions without any sort of feelings at all. I don't even feel real anymore.I'd give anything to feel intrigued by life again.

I come at a very different angle at this: if you have to think about how to have a fulfilling life daily, then you are just making excuses to yourself. There is nothing wrong have living a unfulfilling life for a duration that you are comfortable with for whatever reason. Maybe you are working a unfulfilling job, but it pays a lot. While the work might be unfulfilling, it is allowing you to move closer to want you want. If you are truly fulfilled, you don't have to think about it.
@jotjot93612 жыл бұрын
I think the tips in the vid are a good way to train the subconscious part of the brain to find things fulfilling. At first it may seem fake/excessive or like u said it’s excuses, but the brain will then start finding things fulfilling automatically including things that a person may previously find dull. It’s all about training the brain into a new, fresh perspective :)

For me, being stuck in the same boring rut keeps me from being happy, so that way that happiness doesn't get destroyed. It's better just to live than to try to attain anything towards happiness. It's a pindelum of light and dark, the more light presents itself, the darker the dark is, and the harder it is to get out of the darkness. Stay in the middle, small light means small dark, there is no point to strain for the light, or the dark comes and rips it away.

I definitely fell into the category of not being passionate in enough areas. I poured everything I had into a job I love, but during the pandemic in the hospital and family illness, I had to pull back on my other passions and burnt out. I now work a job where I have time for other passions and it’s made a world of difference to have multiple avenues.
