32 and single. Only 1 failed relationship and 1 failed engagement but after this video, I went from feeling like a loser to feeling so much better and liberated. I now know that I am worth something! :)
I am 24 to and am still feeling lost trying to find a job but I am taking it one day at a time counting the blessings I already have. Thanks for sharing this video, it is soo true that we base off our lives from society views. Thanks for the motivation.
31 and single, looking for a job, living at home with a college degree!!! This is the most valuable video I've ever ever EVER watched!!!!!! Everything I needed to here. THANK YOU ISABEL!! I'M GRATEFUL FOR YOU!!! XOXO
Lol I am 32 and let me tell you... 90% (not exaggerating) of the people I know who are married and have kids are completely miserable behind closed doors. Sure some are very grateful and love their lives, but most people are sooo insecure and are the ones who are actually lost!!
You have completely changed how I view every aspect of life. Whenever i"m feeling down I watch your videos and feel allot better . Your like a big sister that Ive never had thank You.
My boyfriend and I just broke up and I feel like me feeling lost in life not knowing my purpose and being insecure were the main reasons. This video came in perfect timing. I am very very grateful for your videos. You're helping thousands of people! Even tho i have no one to talk to, your videos make me feel so much better❤
Alycia O girl it’s ok I feel your pain, if you really don’t have anyone to talk to tho really feel free to talk to me then cuz I know what it’s like to not vent, just getting things out makes things feel loads better 💖💖
Start with getting a part time job, working on your own mental health (gym, yoga (I recommend Yoga with Adrienne on RU-vid)) and to keep going. You will manifest what you want, send in those applications for college and keep going. :D
This video hit me right where I needed it the most. Talk about manifestation. I'll admit it. I'm going through that exact stage right now. I just graduated from college with an associate's degree. I know in my heart and soul that I am going to do well as a graphic artist. I know I have what it takes to make it. But I also have this anxiety and fear and standards about myself. This summer I have felt the need for change in my life. My goals for this summer is to bring more of a healthy lifestyle into my life. I'm only 2 weeks into this so it's still early but I see differences within myself that I am proud of. Basically, I feel this pressure to have all of this success before I'm thirty like you said. I guess I'm just scared of taking the risks to go after my goals and I don't know where to start. Just wanted to let you know Isabel that your videos always help me and I always look forward to watching them. Thank you :)
I am 24 as well and I recently moved out of my parents place into my first own appartment. A little before that my last relationship ended. Sometimes I feel quite lonely. Also because almost all my friends are in relationships and of course they spend a lot of time with their partners, especially on weekends. Your videos really help me not to feel as lonely, but to appreciate this time right now. it is a process though. However I feel so free to do whatever I want and I love that. In your videos you mention things that I am partly thinking deep down inside me, and you are helping me to make them so much more present and also living this way. We live the longest with ourselves, not with someone else, so we should have the best relationship with ourselves, and should simply be content and just keep improving physically and mentally. Love from Germany!♡
Life is so unpredictable. Im 31 and single. I never thought that would be my life. Lol I always was confused by single women in their 30s when i was much younger, now i realize.... there really isnt a lot of good men to marry and its better to wait for what you deserve than compromise your sanity!!
and then you also realized 30 is no that old!!! when you are 20 you feel like 30 is old, but then you are 30 and you feel no difference, still very young!
I totally agree with this video! I'm in my mid thirties, and only now do I feel that my life is starting to slowly fall into place. I did lot of soul searching, and even had professional help. My only advise to people would be to focus on your own life, and to love and respect yourself first! Forget about everyone else and what they are doing. When the timing is right, you will get what you need. Isabel, you are so young and so smart! I recently stumbled across your channel and have been watching some of your vids. Great job. keep inspiring!
I am feeling this to my bones.. 😢 I’ve been struggling because I have the pressure to know what I’m doing with my life right now.. I have been going to college and I feel like it’s all for nothing, but I also don’t want to take a break.. I’ve been thinking about it though 😪 I’m 22.
ah i just wanna cry ...I am 27 years old and I just graduated and I feel so lost and under pressure because all people around me in my age already "made it" and look at you as if it is already too late for you ...thank you Isabel..love you
Very fitting that I was listening to this as I was copying down some quotes in my journal that I liked from a recent read (Veronika Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho): “You’re someone who wants to be the same as everyone else. And that, in my view, is a serious illness. ... It causes neuroses, psychoses, and paranoia. It’s a distortion of nature, it goes against God’s laws, for in all the world’s woods and forests , he did not create a single leaf the same as another.”
Great vido! Inspired so much! Thank you 😊❤️ I’m 28, single and very often feel like at 30 I should have already everything but you’re correct, that’s my life, it shouldn’t be perfect, nothing ends when everything is in the places, struggles comes and goes...
wow this was SO needed, I think about this almost everyday and get upset because I feel that out of all my friends and people my age I am "slacking" thank you so much for this Isabel!
As a millennial who's been frustrated with flying back into the nest, This video is literally every single thing I needed to hear!!! MY LIFE IS MORE THAN A CHECKLIST!
A lot say confidence, as well as the ability to not care about what’s not important, increases with age. I’m only in my 30s but I totally agree. 20s is the hardest and the worst to me- not knowing what you want in life, not knowing much of who you are, lack of confidence, and not knowing what to do for a career.
I love that you mentioned student debt. That’s my pain. I struggle with the reality of this stuff and it’s hard. I don’t regret college because it’s now I met my love but I do hate the pain this debt costs me. But I often feel behind because I can’t do certain things because of my debts and I struggle with not being as far along as others at my age. But you’re right - everyone has different timelines. What is happening for us is exactly what needs to happen. It’s all for our good, I also love that you mentioned older people’s regrets. That REALLY puts things into perspective. We won’t always have this energy, these opportunities, this time - so we need to keep that in mind. We won’t always be able to do the things we can currently do. So we need to keep that in mind, ❤️ thank you Isabel! This was amazing!
I think for most of us at least for woman we always put 30 years like a limit to have our family, our career and if we being 30 years and we don t have what we desired is like if was the end of the world and we can't do anything more to change because is too late...
Wow why do you need it right now? What a question!!! Where is you saying in this?? I have never asked that to myself I feel like I always put everything and everyone's need first and that creates so much unhappiness in my life.
I never comment on videos, but GIRL I just feel like I have to tell you this. I have been on my personal journey to finding myself throughout these past few years, and I have found myself continuously coming back to your videos for inspiration, guidance, and honestly even comfort. Are you a Gemini? Probably not lol, but I always feel like you are talking directly to me and I seriously am blown away by how on point you are with even the little details. Like, are we living each others lives? LOL but anyways, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you and your videos so unbelievably much and I cant wait to watch you grow and succeed! :)
Pleaase anyone HELP!!! I am a 22 gurl who lives in a society where she has no right to live alone nd has to get married before 25 ! What can i do bout it ? I dont want this ! Now i am thinking bout leavin my country to another one but it seems difficult! If i did that , whats better : to study there or to find a good Job , please give me some advices cuz i feel that my first step is to get out of here , please help 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you. I was looking for a video like this and then i found yours. I'm on my period atm and it's probably the hormones but i've been feeling down all day because of feeling behind. I normally don't feel bad about this, but i needed someone to remind me. I finally feel a bit better. Thank you
I just turned 28. I am a single mom and I am in the process of really trying to make something of my life and it’s getting better but some days I battle thoughts of ‘I’m already 28 I should have started this years ago!am I too old to get somewhere big like I aspire to be?’
Came back to this video because sometimes I have trouble realizing that life ISN'T a race. Sure we can pull out the charts or spreadsheets and it'll prove that "If you do this this and this consistently over x amount of time you will have y" but focusing on that is such a closed mindset. I have found more success in using a schedule as not something as strictly necessary as there's absolutely no way to beat off this path but by using a schedule as a goal as a guide as a map to steer my decisions in the future and things just naturally went in my favor of course not all the time but generally favorably! Now of course everybody is different but just don't be afraid to trust yourself and life will literally out of nowhere fall into place and you'll realize it and say holy crap.
Wow thank you so much Isabel, I really needed this. Right now I'm so undecided about life and confused I just graduated high school a month ago ever since I was little I've always had a dream of being an actress and I didn't realize how big my dream was until I started getting older. I started realizing that I had to go to college because I needed an actual career. Right now I have to choices in my eyes either move to LA were I have more opportunities in the acting field or stay in North Carolina and start a dental assistant program and move to LA in the future. I'm honestly so lost and I can't afford to mess up..
Sidney Zapata I also wanted to be an actress since I was little but I went to uni and chose the corporate world instead. It was killing me that I still wanted to be an actress that it got to a point where I had to do something about it before it became worse. So at 27 I did an acting course for 12 months and it was the best thing I ever did. Not because I became an actress but because I realized acting wasn't my thing. It wasn't what I thought it was and the industry wasn't for me. This freed me from a dream I had been carrying for so long which had been suffocating me. I felt like I could actually start living my life for real. My advice would be to give acting a go while you're young, to see whether it is something you actually want to do. Don't let your dream be just a dream. Go after it and see what happens.
Everytime I come back from traveling I feel lost like what next what am I doing with my life I should move and I feel like my life will be better if I do then on top of that I just met someone who I really like and it’s been so long since I felt this way about anyone he’s settled and loves where he lives so I’m like what do I do I know what’s best for me and he knows I want to move one day but we haven’t been dating long enough to talk about it I guess so I’m torn😔
I saw this right after a long-needed reality check, and this just reenforced everything I was already telling myself. Thank you Universe, and thank you Isabel.
I absolutely adore you Isabel!! Sometimes it’s easy to think you’re the only one with these thoughts & you’re the only one behind... thank you for another uplifting video. ♥️💋🦋
Oh my God girl! You deserve millions of subscribers! You look so wise and smart and down to earth. I wish I had a friend like you in my life to bring me back in game every time I get distracted. I am in self development myself and I’m so into Psicology and trying to figure out myself and how life works. Sometimes I get distracted around though but it’s ok to be work in progress. And actually these days I was thinking this and starting to question myself, that I’m 24 and I’m not sure what I truly enjoy to do, and I had a bunch of failed relationship etc. (sometimes we get like that lol) but the secret is to never let yourself stay down and remember who the f£&@ you are. And it’s always good to have someone like you, you literally resumed exactly what I’m sure 95% of us face everyday lol. I will definitely listen this video over and over again every time to get back into my frequency. I wish you nothing but pozitivity and good luck ❤️
Thank you so much for uploading this! I’ve been feeling down lately, that I got to the point of deleting my social media to focus on myself and stop comparing myself to others. I appreciate it your wisdom so much!! You’re like an older sister I always wanted. I was also wondering if you could make a video about how to stop doubting the law of attraction?
That’s what I’m feeling I really wanna have a back up plan in the medical field but I don’t care for working long hours unless it’s something I like doing . I really want to run my own business online(hair) but I know things takes time tho and I will manifest it
This video is awesome! I'm 19, I have finished high school and I'm feeling the pressure but I'm not sure even if I want to go to college or not. I just want to use my creation, be my own boss, spread inspiration and love and travel. I just don't know how yet. Everything about future is unclear to me now, but I just want to trust the process and my intuitions. Even though it seems hard rn.
When you mentioned that life continues beyond 30 that really hit home for me. As I'm in my mid-twenties I have always felt like I only have my 20s to get everything set up for the rest of my life. You are so right. When you said "that's also shallow" I was like damnnn she's calling me out! This could not be more true. Thank you!!!!!!!!
I needed this. I'm 30 n I relate with every single word you mentioned. N I've been living all my life putting people's opinions first 😐this is cracked ... Thank you love
Hi beautiful. I came across your videos today and let me tell you I love your content. You just gained a sub. I sometimes feel so behind in my life at times in regards to my education and it bothers me every now and then. I feel like by now (I'm 27) I should have my Masters going for my PhD but I don't have even a BA. Life happened and I know I'll get there eventually but at feel like time is running out at times and it frustrates me. But then I look at my life from 18-now and I realize that I've gotten work experience in my field even with AA that people with BA don't have. So I know that by the time I get my BA I will be able to get a position since I already have the experience needed. So it just depends on the point of view that we take.
Hi Isabel! I really enjoyed this video - this is definitely something I tend to forget and can struggle with. I just wanted to ask, what would you recommend doing if you're wanting to find things that you enjoy? I'm finding it hard to find things that I'm really passionate about or happy and excited to do! Xxx
Maybe just trying anything and everything. If you have found out more tips please share them with me too I'd appreciate it! It's been 3 years maybe you've figured it out by now. But for me I'm just starting now ☺️
Hi Isabel. I've been watching your videos for a while. They really manage to make me feel inspired and motivated every time I feel down, lost and confused. This one in particular has been the most influential. I had been feeling confused about the direction of my life and the pressure of having timelines like the rest of my friends. I really needed to hear these words. Our generation is definitely different than that of our parents and we don't need to live by anybody else's standards but our own. Thank you. I am ready to do me because my life is different from anyone else's. Thank you for being so inspirational.
I’m so lost on what I should do as a career. I’m only 22 but I graduated and just didn’t go to college the good thing is that I was able to save money but I am no longer happy at my job. I forget about it on the weekends and then hate waking up to go to my job. My thing is I don’t know if I should go to college or not and if I do what the hell do I go for? I know some people are just so passionate about things but I feel like I don’t know what I’m passionate about I only know that I care for the environment more than some people but I don’t even know what I could do with that.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for making this video! This video inspired me a lot again! You completely changed my life in a better way! Without your videos, I wouldn't have been able to feel better. I DO think there are lots of people who were influenced by your videos! You are amazing and you always look great! You deserve lots of happiness! Love you, Isabel!
Hi Iabel i never comment on any youtube video but i just wanted to say that this video truly inspired me. especially because i‘ve been struggling with self esteem issues and doubts about where i‘m going in life. Now i‘m finding myself again and i think i‘m on the right track. Your videos help me a lot to be more positive and to stop comparing myself to others which is very hard for me to do. Thank you so much for uploading. It means a lot. Sending you lots of love from Switzerland 💕🤗
This really helped me a lot.. i can’t even thank you enough for your videos. I alwayas watch them and they help me so much. But I needed this one right now and I just felt like open yt and watch a video because I was feeling very down today. And I clicked on your video, which was THE RIGHT ONE for the moment and it always is! Thanks
I loved this video, left a comment kind of touching on these similar subjects and it’s just so cool to know that you’ve listened to people like me going through tough things like this and I really needed this!!! Your words are so genuine and I truly feel centered/more grounded after I watch any video of yours... keep making content because you really do have a gift and a way of putting things which definitely make me feel reassured and more at ease with myself so thank you 🤗 ilysm snd btw love the podcasts too!! So glad to see you’re on your RU-vid and podcast grind.. really does mean a lot to be able to listen in more frequently it has gotten me through rough patches for sure! Anyways sorry for the ramble, keep being you and posting more content love ya💖💖
Wow this was great and just what I needed to hear. You made some really interesting points some that I've never thought on before in your way of thinking. The way you think is very special and you have such a bright outlook on life. I love the way you view everything and you are absolutely right. So nice to hear someone who is so like minded to me but also have your own perspective and be so highly spirited. You also have wisdom beyond your years too ❤ xx
Love this😍 Much needed Isabel! Can we see another day in the life type from you? Would love to see you behind the scenes... life vlog. Thanks for the inspiration🌸💎💜
I really enjoy watching your videos. They are always so inspiring and different. I mean, there are a lot of videos and blogs out there dealing with “finding your way” but you mention some really amazing points and I want to thank you for making me think. We live in a world where following the herd is the easiest way to live your life. But easy ain’t gonna make you happy. Easy ain’t gonna make you find out who you are for yourself and easy ain’t gonna keep you from getting disappointed. My parents think I’m this version of me, this sweet little lazy girl who doesn’t know what she wants so they tell me, what I should want. But that’s not how this is going to work. Yes, I don’t know yet where my life is going to take me but honestly, I don’t want to know. I want to live day by day and find out who I am. And that is something I realised while watching one of your videos. It was like a wake-up call. Thank you a lot for this and for sharing your thoughts with the world.
Oh 31 I have boyfriend..but I don 't have a job..and I'm fashion designer...I don't feel like it was a good choice to make money. ..I feel dumb..though I have my own brand ...working and being your own boss is hard...like..I feel like kind of lost... about my career. ..
This video came at the right time for me! Finishing my degree has left me feeling so lost recently but this video really puts things into perspective, thank you Isabel 💞💗
