21 YEARS OLD And Ive Done Nothing With My Life

I've always felt a little behind, and now I've reached 21 years old. That feeling has only amplified. I see people way younger than me winning a life, achieving my goals. So I'm making this video to remind myself of a few things they always need reminding of.

My current goal is to get good enough at this so I can have it as my full time income. But the biggest challenge I'm facing since turning 21 is comparing myself to others, particularly those in the YouTube space. So I want to remind myself that you have to take or not some. What I mean by that is that when you see someone with something you want.

You can't just take the good thing. You have to take the bad. Let's say you could switch lives with a person you really admired. You would probably soon realize that there's a lot of bad before and during the success. Pain, struggle, death, heartbreak, addiction, obsession, mental and physical health, divorce, bullying, injury, and sunny are all symptoms of success.

Do you want to have 100 million subs? I missed a piece. We have to take an unhealthy obsession. Years of being doubted by everyone. The stress of balancing millions of dollars and Crohn's disease. Do you want me to be as tall a shark when you have to grow up in the hood? Have a decreased life span of about two years and you can't fit in doorways, cars and any.

How about the fame, talent and creativity of Vincent Van Gogh? Well, firstly, he wasn't even famous when he was alive. He was probably very insane. And worst of all, he was Ginger.

I used to think it's about the journey, not the destination. Was just something people said to sound cool. Why would I be going through all this pain, sacrifice and struggle for its own sake? It's to get to the goal. So it is about the destination. But now I really agree with the statement when I first got into lifting, I just wanted to jump to being big and strong.

But now I'm stronger and bigger than 98% of the population, which is great and I wouldn't want to lose it. Ever since I've taken my foot off the gas on lifting to focus on other things, I realized the journey was the best bit. Just going to the gym every day, grounding it out with the pros, missing parties, and studying to focus on eating, lifting and recovering was this very fulfilling feeling.

But now I have it. It's not anything special. After 5 to 6 years of lifting, you don't really progress that much anymore, and you just get used to being large and strong. I don't wake up every morning overjoyed. I've reached my destination, spring out of bed and go flex for an hour. Okay, maybe I'll do that sometimes, but mostly you just forget about it.

This is what I would have wanted and needed to head when I was in the journey. But you get this hedonic adaptation to being big or having a million followers or $1,000,000,000. It's all the same. The best way to understand this is to actually reach a big goal and experience the journey. I'm confident you'll see. It was all about the journey.

Now, the more I fall in love with making these videos, the more I see that working towards a goal is the happiest part of my life. And the destination is depressing because now what do you have to work towards?

It could always be worse and that's very easy to forget. I never compare backwards, only forwards. As I said before, I'm probably bigger than 98% of the population, but I'm never going to compare with that. I'm going to compare with the 2% of beasts better than me. The man in the Lambo wishes he had a Bugatti, the man in the Honda Wish, the other Lambo.

The man on the bike wishes he had any car, the man walking wishes he had a bike and the man with no legs just wishes he could walk. I think I'm quite ambitious. So this is the one I need remind Nick of most gratitude to your past self for putting you in the situation you're in and gratitude for the ability to go and change or go.

Be grateful for the position you're in right now because it can always be worse.
