I'm only 16 and I feel behind our generation makes it seem as though everyone is succeeding

I went back to school at 69. I'm graduating this semester with a 4.20 gpa

Don't compare your 2. Chapter to someome elses 20. Chapter. Compare yourself to just your yesterday. And if you constantly see an improvement that means you are on the right track.

Anas: "I know it's been a while. I've been busy saving lives." Yes, you have and we stan a hardworking doctor/man who makes time to create content that's relevant and thought-provoking 💯

Sometimes watching all this successful young people makes me feel behind... I still know its not true but that feeling is hard to get away

Whenever you feel kinda like down or fail, then pray 2 rakaa. Just to refresh yourself and focus again in life

This guy is 25 and he has over 200k Subscribers more than I've got at the age of 32. Then again, I have heard this great saying, 'There is nothing noble about being superior to your fellow man, true nobility is being superior to your former self' - W.L.Sheldon

I'm 23 and I'm still at uni and I feel really behind in life. Everybody around me is getting married, having kids, buying houses, etc... The only thing that keep me going is the fact that for me education is everything. I don't wanna depend on someone, I want to be independent, I want to give back to my parents for everything they have done for me, but the journey is hard. UNI IS HARD, keeping up with exams is hard, organizing time is hard, but I know that in the end is gonna be worth it 🌿

Whenever I start to question progress in any part of my life, I try to remind myself ― “Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.”

I started dental school at age of 34.... best thing I did... never let anything hold you back.. you’re here to make the most and serve the best version of you out there, if that means starting at the beginning at an older age so be it, and though it may be hard as I found it ( balancing full time work with colleges for 4 years to get into dental school) it’s also fun, adventurous, new experience, new friends so many benefits out there for anyone who want to improve their life and in turn it pays off 😁✌🏼

Ughh it's really frustrating. I'm 23 and a medical student. The covid-19 just stopped life for me. I was supposed to graduate in 2021 and now I don't think I'll be able to. And to see people around me move on with their lives, while I'm just stuck in one place makes me feel really sad. I feel like I'm useless and not achieving anything in life. I should thank you for this video. It made me feel a lot better!

I had a bad day with online classes , just got into uni and i feel behind in terms of catching up studies ! Knowing that exams are coming soon in december which makes me feel stressed! I pray that everything ends up fine ! Thank you for this video ! Needed to hear what you've said edit : hi guys , my exams went well and i got great marks !! no matter what you're going through it's going to be fineee ! have patience and do your best ! may allah bless u all

*Sometimes i feel like i've been left behind when it comes to KZfaq* But then i have to remind myself no to compare myself to others ❤️❤️

I love how minimalistic his style is

I’m 28 and currently working. When I did my undergrad, I had no focus whatsoever and really messed up my GPA (2.74).. but I did graduate. I really want to go back to school but my GPA has kept me from doing that for years. Also my school loans make me feel financially unstable. Truth is, it was all a mindset. I got a new job that paid more and quickly got a promotion and pay raise. I spent the last year repeating some of my core science courses and boosted my GPA over 3.0 and and science pre-req GPA over 3.45. I buckled down financially and paid off my credit card debt and my car.. and managed to save an additional 10k. Going back to school seems more in reach than ever. Basically what I’m trying to say is... sometimes it’s your mindset. Mindset is everything. Also stop caring what other people think of your process and stop comparing yourself to others. Everyone has their demons!

This calmed me down. Let's face it we all needed this!

This made my cry watching this, I've always been an A* student but I sacrificed my social life, potential relationships and friends. I was raised in a very religious family and it stunted my ability to develop as a confident person socially. I'm an atheist now and I do feel freedom. But when I get my A, I feel a bitter hatred for myself for not being the best, and when I see a fellow classmates get a C, but happily accept it, plan a weekend party with their partner and just be happy. It hurts so much thinking about it, regret is poisoning my mind and I'm falling into an abyss, I'm crying typing this. I'm so regretful of my life, my teenage years are ending and I've done nothing but study. I just want to enjoy life but I don't know what to do

I felt behind in life a lot because just like anas said 'i wasnt working on the thing i want' but now i dont because i finally have a clear vision of what i am going throw and what i want in my life and when i thought like that it was the first time i stoped caring about what others did and where others is going and just started to care more about where i am going

anas talking about how he was 10 years ago is literally me now. When he talked about just 'going with the flow' and such, that screamed my name. Amas is the best person I can watch to improve and work on myself. Thank you, Anas, I imagine myself being like you after my transformation.

To all those feeling behind, read “the courage to be disliked”. It not the easiest of reads but will definitely start to change the way you feel and hopefully can be the start an amazing journey for yourself. It definitely did that for me!!!

Thank you for this and all the other videos man I truly appreciate it! 🙏

This is exactly how I've been feeling... I really needed this, thank you ❤

JUST THE VIDEO I NEEDED , THANKS ANAS

I really appreciate your effort in making those vids.

his examples are just so amazing everytime!!

Thank you for the reminder. Always love your videos I wish the best for both of us!

ur a legend and an inspiration

I'm 24 and haven't started uni yet while all my friends have started working.

This video is GOLD. GOLD. Thank you, Anas.

This video is calming for the soul. You are digging deeper, that the average KZfaqr. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Stay blessed!

why did i tear up watching this. i needed this video - the transition from uni to figuring out your career is one of the toughest things (for me at least). thank you.

Those titles do hit different no capp - Love form Toronto

you can tell this video came from the heart, Im feeling the exact same way Anas, living alone too doesn't make it easier

Really love this type of video man. I feel like, I'm really having this connection ting with you my guy. I feel like I'm relating to it. Love the content, keep up the good work man.

The first KZfaq I’ve actually clicked the bell notifications on for💯🔥

Never stop posting, You are helping so much to the people, good for the world to have a person like you. Thank you ANAS! God bless you!

Big Love brother. Keep being proud and keep doing your thing.❤️

Love your vibe 💓 thanks man🙏🙏🙏

I’m a gcse student I watched your how I became a doctor it was inspiring you’ve moved on now it’s time I do something about my self thank you man

I literally saw this video while contemplating the decision to either take the night off and watch youtube or watch my pharma lecture and finally deciding to take the entire week off cuz med school could be challenging!! I'd rather be behind than dead inside. Perfect timing for such an amazing video.

Bro your videos really inspire me to keep going! I'm going through a difficult time at the minute and I really needed to hear this...

I always feel like I am not doing enough even when I do the very best that I can,so now I use to pause and tell myself that you are doing enough and you are enough. Thanks for this video👍🏾

This video was so calming,thank you!

i love you Anas thank you . i struggled in life because of my illness and now i am much better and your videos helped me in studying .so thank you

This was much needed , You truly motivate me to study hard

Great video Anas! I've always had severe anxiety from various expectations that I've formed from social media and the general societal notion that you need to have everything figured out before a certain age. I think if we all focused more on what we have done and where we want to be instead of what we wish we had done, there'd be less pressure on our shoulders. ❤

Honestly tho i have learnt a lot from you! Past few weeks have been really productive for me, alhumdulilah. Whatever you say gets etched on my memory. I'm not somebody who listens and then learns. I mostly experience something and then get the lesson. You inspire me! Thanks a lot ❤️

You surely are blessed with Wisdom,Thanks for inspiration

I feel so behind... I had dreams and plans but now it’s either help my family or focus on my education.

Good video Anas. I have a similar story. I was a freshman in college and knew I wanted to do something in health care but I was not so hard working. I failed all of my classes in my second semester in college and it was a huge moment in my life and it quite frankly shocked me because I knew that this was not high school and I needed to work every semester as hard as I could. I repeated those classes and got A's and It has been an upward trend since then. I am almost done and will be applying to medical school in a few years but if it was not for that downfall I don't think I would have been the person I am today. Love your vids Anas keep them coming.

Speaking to the hearts of many!!!❤️ Life is a marathon not a sprint!! Great video👌🏽

I do think the amount of insight we have into other people's lives do affect us even if it isn't consciously. We have infinitely more access to what our friends, acquaintances, old colleagues and complete strangers are doing than we did 15 years ago so it's not surprising if those feelings come up now and again. I also hear you on sometimes the things that we are chasing may not necessarily make us happy. I spent so much time and effort on becoming a doctor and when I finally became one it wasn't what I thought it'd be and I eventually decided to leave.

I just want to say, thank you for making this. When you touched on the topic of feeling like you're behind on life by your OWN standards, I felt recognized; and what you said genuinely put things into perspective for me. I often find myself feeling like a failure or "behind" but who am I really behind? The answer should be no one if I truly am only focusing on myself. Sometimes I need to remind myself that even my life isn't linear, and won't always fall to plan. Thanks again. I needed this.

It was a really nice and helpful video!!! Honestly, I felt so related with everything you have said and it was one of the few times where I took a piece of paper and using your words and suggestions, I added my own thoughts and it really changed my mindset!!! Thank you very much for your video and I'm looking forward to more videos of yours!!!!

Anas you are too precious for us. I just love your humour and calm voice, i feel as if you are directly talking to me and you always give the best advice and content. I am currently a student and I never felt this way but I do fear becoming like this you know going in a stationary path especially as a doctor. Everyone in society prepares us for our future but sometimes we forget to prepare ourselves and to lower our expectation of growing up. Wow reading back on it...that was deep. P.S. if you are reading this i love you and your content and i wish you the best of luck for everything :) - XOXO

why isn't this video having like a million views or something.....ur great man...keep up the good work

Thank you so much Anas, you inspired me to start my own KZfaq channel!😊❤️

U more than a role model ✌🏼 thank you!

Thank you for this! I almost felt depressed because both of my KZfaq channels & Instagram pages weren’t doing well in the past few weeks. But i guess time will tell! Thank you thank you thank you❤️

I’m from Barcelona and I loved seeing that shot of our coast at 3:07 !!

This really hits home. I didn't do well in undergrad so I had to take a post-bacc to boost my GPA for med school, and I've felt so behind for the past 1.5 years. I got an acceptance (1st time applicant) and just finished finals! I couldn't be more proud of myself for doing uni + work + MCAT/apps/interviews and dealing with the death of my pet this year...

Thanks ! These 2 points are different then what we normally hear but it’s 👌🏾🔥

I love your videos so much! You’re such an inspiration ❤️

Cant wait to watch this bro i needed this right now

Love this! Thank you!

That's inspired me to do more and thank you for uploading the video.

Wise words from a King💪🏽♥️

perfect timing man awesome video!

You probably thought that this video might not have a big impact on lots of people but i want to say something important . Your video has just come out in the perfect timing for me . As if it was only posted for me haha. I am sure lots of people have felt just like me . So keep it up . Ve sure that your sincerity in sharing your personal thoughts including sometimes your personal failures and experience without caring of exposing this to the world has sometimes an infinite benefit and a wonderful message. Thank you so much for this video Hope you will overcome all the obstacles you face and achieve more than you expect. I am a medical student graduating this year and willing to start my specialty so that video was a fruitful message for me in the perfect timing. thanks again

Really needed this video, keep up the great work akhi.

Thanks so much, brother. However, for some people (myself), the feeling of changing the direction in life (such as career) is a nightmare due to age, time, responsibilities, parents' expectations, limitation of options...etc). I totally understand what you mentioned about the "flow". I have been doing it my whole life. However, I have never failed so hard. Even though I am slow and very average, I never quite; I never failed. But, I'm heavily depressed as I know I can do more and I'm not satisfied with who I have become today. I can't be the best version of myself unless I do something I like to do; which is the most terrifying impossible thing in my life at the moment. I'm so lost!!!!!

Right on time when I needed it

i litterly cried while watching youre video😭 the way you explain it, is soooooo😍 It really morivtated me and made me realize a lot of thinks. thank you so much for this video!!

I like the concept it makes sense.🙏🏽 I usually think am I behind? Still do but will try too think different.

Jus that you know anas, I love you and your content so much. You have helped me and thousands of other so much. I hope you read this

I'm love the way you had talked, I was so devistated now cuz of you I'm feelin better. May Allah bless you and grant you may everything be reachable for you. Love and greetings from Belgium Selam!

Mash Allah this is peaceful, thanks for sharing 👍🏼✨

You would be the worlds best older brother. Solid grip on life.

this is totally about what i feel nowadays as being a 5th year medical stu in Turkey. The feeling that 'I cannot moving on' because of many reasons just makes me feel inadequate and lost. I know that it is all about me rather than other people. And I am trying to handle this stuation by recognizing that this is part of growing. Thanks for this video, it was really nice to feel that i am not that alone

I really like your voice... U might want to consider making audio books or those audios on calm app lmao. Ur voice is actually super calming.

This lead me to thinking things that i never thought of thinking!

I feel the same. We just have to remind ourselves that having struggles is a big part of life. Wish the best to you all.

I needed this... I also need a video about becoming more efficient. Because that is really kinda hurting me psychologically and in what I want to do.

Anas, I randomly found your channel. I just want you to know that you're the content creator I've been searching for bruv. I appreciate your videos, your advice, your vibe.

Excellent Video Anas ! Keep it up

Needed this right now! Im Currently studying Chemical Engineering in my Masters in Germany and had plans to study abroad in China for a semester. I invested a lot of time in learning mandarin but due to the pandemic the program got canceled and I needed to rearrange my study plans. I have that mentioned feeling as If Im stuck somehow and I wasted my time. But actually I discovered a whole new culture, got to know a lot of new friends and my study progress until now isnt bad either, I almost finished all courses. Love your videos, they are inspiring me to strive for greatness and strengthen my willpower! Thanks a lot 🙏 PS: I also copped that book from Robert Kiyosaki you suggested in one of your last videos.

Yo, I don't even comment on videos.. and I am studying at the moment for an essay, but MAN, what you just spoke out made an upsolute sense to me, when you described yourself I was like.. hold on.... it reminds me of somebody (*points on me*).. I litterally felt every single bit of it.. CHEERS BRO, WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

Much needed...thanks Anas ❤️

bro I love ur videos man really helps me a lot!

Thank you I needed this ❤️

The fact that you are honest and don't make things up for videos makes me click your *motivational videos*..cuz i dont really watch other youtubers' videos cuz a majority of them just say whatever they've heard of and even make things up. You're doing a great job Anas. The money that you make here is not earning just like that or doing fun bla bla bla..you are actually benefiting people by making videos!!

You always inspire me to achieve more in life. Especially your videos that you make about exam preparations have successfully helped me achieve better grades in my IB exams. Always carry on doing such videos as you spread your positive energy to everyone out there. Lots of love and respect !

Love from India brother Thanks for boosting me up for my Pre medical exam 😷

Anas brother, Thanks,, u don't know how much u helped me through this video...ur video showed up at the right time. May Allah bless u

Hey Mr.Anas I have recently been watching your videos a lot and you honestly motivated me to work harder in school as some who is still in high school hopefully my hard work pays off. Keep up the great work Mr. Anas.

Yah🙌. CONGRATULATIONS on your becoming a Doctor.

Great video Anaas ! keep it up!

One of your most Eye Catching, Heart Warming & Outstanding videos + message yet! : Keep it up brother :]
