no way dude actually made this video

I've spent most of my teens just in my head escaping reality, building these worlds, stories and characters. I've lived in my mind and thought out how I could fullfill my dreams of putting it all on a big movie screen, which I still want to accomplish. But now however I am more focused on what's going on outside of my own head. Who am I, really? How does the real world work? Where is my place in this world? I am only 22 so I don't personally mind me "loosing my years" cause as I am conserned I got at least 2 more of these lifetimes to accompling greatness and happiness, and then maybe another lifetime living in retirement. Though I know that time passes and it will start catching up, I still have plenty of time.

i started discovering myself wandering around hell

as you said knowt, while actually just listening like a podcast to that video.. i've firstly understood/heared "knowt, a play on *nope*".. 😂

Super helpful way to look at studying

I'm one of those lucky people who just sleeps well, but I appreciate the focus on mindset and mental components of falling asleep rather than just trying to game the physiology. I will try to use some of these techniques next time I have a hard time sleeping!! Another thing I try to do every night is start winding down my evening by crafting or reading instead of watching stuff or gaming late. I find that gaming really winds me up so it's really hard to sleep afterwards. So I just try to do things that don't activate my brain as much. I do occasionally use the high risk/high reward method by doing the dishes or laundry right before bed and it really does make me feel satisfied. I can't really use it with anything on the computer because that will amp me back up, but cleaning is perfect for me for that method. Anyways, great video, thanks!

I.D.I.O.T.

was high school Neuqua Valley ??

Self improvement has diminishing returns just like most things in life

What if you almost wasted entire 20s on self isolation and video games theres no hope really is it?

This video came up in my recommendeds at just the time I needed it, thank you.

self improvement is overrated today

Great video, but in my opinion you forgot about jocko willink too, I think you over consume him when you think everything in life is a military strategy

I don't exactly think you can watch too much jordan peterson because there is not a thing that if you don't apply to your life that he says won't hurt you. I think that you can overdo him. but its Very hard to find a balance. BUT NOT AS HARD AS GoGGINS. HA

Good Video, thanks

Maybe i am mistaking on that way but i have to write my opinion. I have not watched Peterson's videos before never in my life but your thoughts about his ideas. You said people who watch his videos always talk his speeches these kind of people cannot give their own opinion. But on that way you were also giving your opinion during your video or you only said kind of researches. My overall personal opinion about your video it is just your ideas shouldn't tell anyone how or whose videos are better to watch everyone watch a content by their own preferance. It is my opinion it seems to me you made this video only for DR. K.

for the author of the video - i simply think that you refuse to look further than your idealistic understanding of reality. self-improvement is an endless process. It's not going to go with the same tempo every time. there are going to be ups and downs, but if you quit on it - you are gone. ofcourse you need rest sometimes, but that doesn't just mean to give up on it. quit playing the victim and being soft. figure your life out - that doesn't mean that you are going to be on your top game all the time - it's just statistically impossible - but that's the paradox of life - even though we won't be able to do it fully, we have to try. what i'm trying to say is - self-improvement isn't a bad thing, but as everything of value - take slow and sure steps of it - it won't come in a day. even thought you may have chosen to see everything about life throught the prism of self-improvement, ask yourself - are you limiting yourself that way. i'm not saying don't do it, i'm saying - you must have a perspective. it's the deep duality of life - simply don't give up.

I'm always thinking is there any person like David googins in this world ? We really don't know him

I like Dr. K a lot in his kindness and understanding of others. Sometimes I just don't feel like what he says is exactly as actionable as I wish it was, but I also haven't watched everything he's done so maybe I'm just missing out on some of his messages.

Another thing to consider is that you're not going to have as much energy as you do in your 20's, so you cannot be as productive in your 30's and beyond. Choose wisely. Some will sacrifice their youth for success, others will sacrifice success for fun early on. Just know that you can't redo it later on.

I agree to the part of repeating Jordan's opinions as if it were mine. I noticed this and focused more on analyzing what he is saying rather than just echoing his thoughts..

breath of fresh air

can you tell me the process of discovering your passion to be a doctor ? it would be helpful.

youre a small channel that deserves more subs. this hit hard. thank you.

its true even the little steps are big

Good video man keep it up

362 subs and a solid channel so far. Congrats. I hope the hard work pays off!

This is amazing, thank you for this video. Im in my early twenties now, and have been struggling alot to live up to expectations and pressure that in reality do not serve me, and was placed on me by people who dont actually know what is best for me personally. So I think im gonna be content with "wasting" my twenties, and use them to figure out what I actually want for myself

Great video, thanks!

The worst part is realizing you have been stuck with internet opinions that never mattered in real life, specially if you've fallen into the alt right rabbit hole.

Your Content is pretty good mate keep the good work going btw im a thumbnail designer let me know if there is anything i can help you with

from the age of 9 and onwards i had this deep set feeling of self hatred and unbelonging. this emotion stuck with me for years and built itself up into the manifestation of what is seemingly depression. never been to a professional but suicidal thoughts, self harm, no desire for anything and everything seemed meaningless. yet i was still forced to get up and persue whatever daily tasks a kid has as i didnt know how to talk or even really understand them emotions. i woke up every day questioning the purpose of everything, every minute of class wasnt focused on class it was focused on why i feel this way. through fights, drama, break ups it all felt like a distraction from this big question. purpose. and it wasnt until college came around where i took the opportunity to really internalise the entirety of my life and really begin to understand who i was. i took a 2 year break from 'life' as my parents put it and i wouldnt have it any other way, i understand myself deeper than i think most people ever do in their lives and i feel better than ever. society holds you to a standard and when you evaluate yourself by the standardisation other people give to you, you will never truly be happy or for better words 'whole'. i still struggle with thoughts and i still hate myself to be honest, but i understand its a process that takes time. this break from 'life' gave my perspective like no other and i gained knowledge about myself and others that i could not compare to anything else worth having. i also know some people dont like when people bring religion into things, but when i talk about this aspect of distraction it all leads to one place for me and that is God. when i focus on God in prayer or through actions i am gifted with the comfort of peace and bliss like no other, to give your life to religion is a truly humbling experience and along with everything else i went through within those 2 years i feel like i have lived a lifetime. and for those who are interested in the meaning of life, for me i believe it is simply to experience life itself.. the statical miracle of you being alive is so astronimically low that you should be thankful for everything down to the air in your lungs. i dont usually overshare on social media and feel uncomfortable doing it, but the perspective this man gives is incredibly accurate and resonates deeply with my soul. Amen.

Pov- when saturn return hits you hard:

If you’re at 30 30 to 100 is 70 years 30 to 75 is 45 years The gap is 25 years Longevity gives you the ability to live life at a slow smooth pace

You should make a video on how Longetivity is the best ROI for life 100 years to live= Pace of Time and Expectations change as you have more time, contentment in moment 70-80 years to live= crap I only have 49 years left, hurried pace, hard to be present

But I won’t lie bieng financially free at 23-24 and then investing in longetivity to live to 100 is a fair trade to work with intention for 4 years 4Years With Intention= Freedom to Complete true life mission Progress of Complete True Life Mission= Sweet Contentment

Hey John I’m 19 and I’ve been in the past 4 months making a 7,000 song playlist of 1970-2020 era of music. I’ve had the time of my life listening to different music and experiencing emotions that are not just sad and angry. I went back and made.a 1,000 list of my favorite movies and tv shows as my chill hour when I am done with my productive section of day to watch. There exists 800,000 songs made. Dude I only know 10,000. There are 30-40k Different Games There are 300K Movies made ever. We only see and expirience a sliver of the world’s expirience. That is a tragedy. There are 100,000 ancient books that speak truth on our past. Would it be a shame that we never turn the page and start on book 1? Message is we all yearn for truth, why and where should we go forwards? The world today doesn’t answer those questions. Tell me why I learned learned about life in Spectacular Spider-Man and Batman the Animated Series than the Human And Ethics class I took? It’s because the media we love were created by the same people that had the same yearning we had. WHO DO YOU BeCOME WHEN NO ONE IS CHASING YOU? WHY? Also since you must be a man of culture Jon, rewatch FF Tokyo Drift, it reminds me of my mentality. Peace guys

Great video, as someone who just turend 20 I will take this advice and apply it. A bit of criticism about the video, tone down the gifs a little bit, they feel a little overwhelming at times.

music is to distracting and loud, good job on the video tho...

I wish that I had understood this earlier & that I hadn't felt forced to do certain things. Try out stuff, yeah but not this desperate "I have to do x"- would have saved me a lot of hurting & I'd have probably spent more time on stuff that makes me happy & feel fulfilled. What's sad in my case is that I'm basically forced to "waste" my time as due to my heapth I can't find anything to get on my own feet with which is a pain. I wish I could have been more real with myself (& help instead of down-talking from the outside would have helped too) so that I could have taken necessary steps to get help earlier instead of struggling around on my own feeling like a failure. It hurts regardless but I now know that it's not my fault & that I need help. Just yesterday &/or today I was thinking that I have to or really "should" just do whatever now as I can't find any other avenues to explore that could help me that I'n not already on or can't go down. De-stressing is probably what'll help me most now besides the things I have to wait for which are out of my hands for now. Now I just have to find joy in stuff that I can do, again. Before that bigger realisation I at least could already appreciate my mental health growth- I kept saying about the past years that I feel like I needed them to take care of my psyche. I can't imagine that I'd have been able to properly deal with that, really get better there & studying or a full-time job. Seeing over & over again that I just can't handle certain things (at once) only further shows that I require help & whether someone's situation is as harsh as mine or not, what I would have liked to & still like to hear is that it's okay. You're not the wrong one, it's society's focus on productivity & other general goals that definitely do not & shouldn't apply to everyone. All the best

8:50 if i take away anything from this video, it'll be this analogy. comparing dungeon grinding to reviewing hw. you already completed the task once, so you theoretically know how to do it. now you just have to review what you've done, make sure you understand it comprehensively, and make sure you internalize the knowledge and grow from the experience

Disagree with you on the part that having kids prevents you from finding your passion. I found mine while pregnant.

Your ideas of how to go about life reflect some of my own. It's nice to hear that someone else has drawn the same conclusions. I hope you're enjoying med school.

you wasted your 20s and you got out of it ok. most people who wasted their 20s it doesn't end up ok at all. Just keep note of that.

Sounds like cope

3am thoughts be like:

I think it's a interesting idea but it has a problem, at least for me, in my coutry 90% of the people don't have this choice to "waste" ther time they have to start working young because if not their lives it will be nothing, they have to choose if they help their family or just see their parents work even more hard to feed them or give them a life that is "normal", they have to choice what to do already in School if not, their lives will be even more hard, so for me only "privileged people" can do this.

I “wasted“ lots of time before my 20’s playing video games, some time partying and going out without no real purpose other than having fun. As soon as I turned 20 my way of life changed and I’ve literally tried every thing imaginable. I‘m 22 now and I’m „grinding“ every day to life the life that I want to life and achieve the goals that I want to achieve (with an intent purpose, I hate hustle culture but hustling because you actually enjoy the process & have a meaning behind what you do is different) I‘m still sometimes scared if I’m not missing out as I’m „wasting“ my 20‘s right now, not going out all the time like my old friends do, but I just now realized through your video that I already went through that phase. I love people & I want lots of close friends in my life, but sometimes you first need to detach yourself from your past self & bridge the gap between your current state of life & what you aspire to life one day. Until then it CAN be a lonely road, but as long as you‘re living true to your values it‘s worth it (I just now realize that this was a whole journal entry but imma leave it here, mb. It‘ll help someone :))

very cool video very interesting story and i'm happy that you've found your passion, but how the hell are you affording law school AND med school???

Found a gem here, I hope this guy remembers this comment when he hits millions of subscribers 😅
