I FEEL LIKE I'M WASTING MY LIFE : 30 years with nothing to show for it.

Do you often get the feeling that you should have accomplished something by a certain age? That if you don't have a Nobel peace prize or a trilogy published with Penguin, then you're useless? I used to. Or rather, I realize that I don't have to feel that way, and there's a way you can too. The pursuit of happiness in 2020 seems to dictate that if you're thirty years old and unmarried, or thirty and single, or you're restarting your life at 30, then you've failed. That to feel lost and confused is normal. What if it wasn't? In this video, I share my journey with disappointing the people I cared about, feeling like birthdays are everything ( then nothing), and coming to my own definition of "I'm an adult now." I don't think there's an age where you suddenly become an adult. It's a process of events. Actions. These actions start with thoughts. Often our thoughts can guide even how we feel - about everything, including feeling lost and confused. What have I accomplished today? What have I accomplished this year? Or since I was born? Those are legitimate questions. The fact that you're asking them means you want more out of this life. You want to live - not just pass through. I hope you find the ideas in this video useful as you plow your way through it. Sometimes, all we need is perspective.
