I've reached a point in my life where I need to start making decisions for myself and learn from my mistakes. If you're struggling with direction in life as a male, this video is for you. Hopefully you can relate.
You have everything it takes to create the life that you and your loved ones deserve. I appreciate you throwing this video out there.. and through happenstance, it coming my way.
Great sentiments, I’m just graduating university and have definitely felt that same anguish of not knowing what direction to go. I think for a long time I’ve been waiting for the right thing to come along and not chasing anything. Trying to turn that around. I think there’s a lot of pressure for guys, or sometimes just from myself, to pursue independence very early and make responsible decisions that don’t need much chasing. I’ll do it with you, start trying to ramp up the effort for active development.
Love to hear it man. I think it’s important to just jump into things and evaluate as you go. Reflection is important but can be tricky if it causes inaction
Just so you know you are not alone. I am in the same situation as you my friend. I am also 23 recent college grad working a job not related to my studied degree and still confused on where I want to head in life with my career and I am also trying to tell myself nobody will hand me any opportunities and I need to make those for myself and step up. I am as well thinking about grad school.
I'm around 12 years older than you, but listen - you have a solid foundation. You just need to put yourself out there, face discomfort, and deal with potential job rejections.
In the same boat rn so I totally get it. I turn 23 in July and I will be going to Portugal with my family this summer. About three months ago my college gf of 3.5 years broke up with after 6 months of long distance. A month later I got laid off from my job that was good pay but bad work/life balance. I think you are doing everything you possibly can at the moment. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself bc once you get that career or grad program you’ll have a new path and new motivation. I too am in the process of interviews into a career I believe I will like, and a new city to completely start over. I get “being a man” but also have the humility to accept you are at a weird spot in your life. Everything will work itself out but you’ll have to be patient. That’s my advice as someone in the same place but I’m still focusing on things I have complete control over: my mental health and physical health. I hope this comment helps bc this video really did help me. I’ll definitely be subscribing to see what comes next for you.
Thank you so much man that means a lot. Both the advice and the kind words. I think the biggest sign for people that things will work out is when they have this level of self reflection. Best of luck with everything brother I can tell you have a good head on your shoulders.
