Joe Rogan - This Is A Temporary Experience - Advice for Young Men 

Kinda had this moment of realization at 23. It’s time to hit the fucking gas and not look back.

As a 26 y/o who's also taking care of a grandfather with Alzheimers, i'm very aware that it could be motivating but... it's rather crushing sometimes

Ive always realized this but joe just explains it to me on another level

2 months ago my ex dumped me after 7 years and now she’s with another man. I have felt like crap, wanted to die (my thoughts were dark). But after accepting, feeling the fucking chaos my brain interpreted i had and have bright days, learning to live alone and realized everthing is just temporary Love and be strong

"it's time to live, you've gotta live" *Shows man flexing on Omegle* Ah yes, truly the most noble path in this life

"The Gods Envy us because we are mortal" - Achilles It's taken from a longer quote by Achilles but I'm sure you can infer the message here. I love this message.

The only thing that's wrong about this is that you're not guaranteed to grow old...you could die young. All the more reason to live life to the fullest

Joe is a deep man more people should think like he does and live their life to the max. No guarantees in this world.

I’m 23 and I think about this a lot lately. Imagine playing a game where your stats get deleted at the end. That’s the game of life

Im glad this is all temporary

When Joe says it, with Time in bgm, it hits on another level

I’m 19 and just started working maintenance at a nursing home a few weeks ago. These exact thoughts went through my head like crazy the first week I was there.

Adding the soundtrack in the back ground was like the icing on the cake

At the end of 2020, the love of my life left me. While I did grieve for a full year afterwards, it has left me with this lesson right here. Everything is temporary. Enjoy what you have to the fullest while you have it. This is not an invitation to engage in debauchery. Instead, it's an obligation to live as positively and constructively as you can. One day you too will be an old man with regrets. Dont let one of those regrets be not doing anything worthwhile with your life.

Nothing is perfect Nothing is finished Nothing is permanent

I help look after my parents, both elderly, in poor health. Nothing has pushed me further, provided me with more motivation, than the knowledge that everything you've ever taken for granted must eventually be given back. Use what you have. Not everyone has the things, the ideas, the gifts you do. It's up to you to make the most of them.

I used to think I was crazy for waking up every day and knowing that everything was temporary when other 24 year olds were living in the moment without that seriousness. As I approach 30 I’m still glad I have the same mindset because it is an interesting caveat of life, there is no such thing as permanent or forever

About to quit my job that barely gives me full time to go do door dash 6 days a week so I can put a down payment on a house in 6 months. I also do college. I'm bout to fuck up the game.

i went to bed after watching this.

I dunno why but this hit me hard recently. I turned 29 and I'm like, damn, time flies... Whatever this is, or whatever I am won't exist forever... Its terrifying to me but also reminds me that I should live to the fullest and enjoy it.

I was a care worker, you become very aware of just how temporary this youth is.

I remember taking care of my mom as a 27 year old.. She is dead now.. And I remember those days. That this is not going to last forever.. Our bodies are going to age and we need to be in the now and live.. These days I make the most of the day.. At times I slack off and sleep in.. But then the temporary experience thought seeps in and I'm back to living as hard as I can..

There is a level of comfortable to this. Nothing has any permanence as life in any form is a process of changes. Life is full of meetings and partings, not all happy but all necessary. If a relative, a friend, a relationship escapes you it’s important to remember nothing is gonna be there for you forever, so don’t dwell in the regret of thinking how you could have changed things so they never left or had more time with you, and remember that like Joe says there is only so much time on the clock, and things will change before you know it. Joe was in his 20s when his hair started to go for example, an early reminder that you age very quickly as a human.

Enjoy every last minute of your life and be happy.

Had this realisation at 19. Been hitting the gas ever since. you get so far into the journey you forget you’re still in it. life definitely gets easier once you begin. Everything and everyone becomes so much easier to understand. You’re a leader. Leaders can be taught new things but can’t be managed because you know what to do !

Lost my brother at 20, we don't have time to waste on this earth..

The edit of Hanz Zimmer's - Time, is perfectly beautiful

Started to steer up the wheel at 28, now I enjoy my life. It's never late

Let’s not forget about our duty to our elders (it will be us in the future).. how we care for our elders also define us as a community.

One of the shortest yet the best video I have seen about living ur life instead of letting it pass by ryt in front of ur eyes.....

This was much needed for me since I will be turning 19 real soon and I’m feeling like an old man missing Highschool thinking this is the end for me. I constantly think about the past and how I wish I were 16 again, and I don’t really like to talk in person about this, but this video by Joe Rogan definitely helped.

We all know it’s coming but choose to forget or pretend it won’t happen to us because facing the reality is too difficult. Just remember that playing to the tune of ignorance is always infinitely worse in the end than facing truth in the face, however difficult it may seem at the time, because at the end of the day the only thing that matters in this world is the truth.

Listening to this as a 24-year-old man, too

Putting zyzz in there really amplified the message for me.

I love when joe talks about shit like this. Its so impactful. He is a good narrator.

I think most people realize this in their mid 20’s, at least I did. You get to a point where you wake up and realize you’re not a kid anymore and you’re now transitioning/living like a full on adult and it’s scary as hell

Made me tear up a lil

I'm 26 and sometimes I look at myself in mirror and tell myself one day you won't be here anymore

I'm 25 and this was a big fucking wake up call thanks Joe

He's right but that workout footage has nothing to do with this.

I am 22 now and I feel so far behind in life. And I don't know if i should play 'catch up' with my peers or live like the age I feel now (like 17) and develop from there.

Damn... I’m 24 and this hit deep

Most of the time this notion makes me filled with anxiety

Alarm clock material right here!

Man I'm 25 and I was watching sopranos the ending how everything just goes black when it's over. So scary the thought. My cousin died really young recently and it got me thinking how sad that is. Never got to experience everything else that life brings. It's a shame. Now I'm sitting here every day thinking of ways to enjoy life and build for my future. Got alot of people depending on me it feels heavy dealing with it all. Some times I feel life is passing me by quick. I need to really take it all in now and enjoy cause this shit is short. One inspiration to me is jay z he said he was 26 when he really found his path. It gives me a little bit of hope. That it's not too late to find something you truly love to do. Any ways dam I wrote alot . Lol but um yeah joe Rogan be coming thru with that inspiration 👍👌

Didn't realize this til age 27. Finally got clean off drugs and started training bjj, muay thai, boxing etc. Wish i had figured it out at 17 but it is what it is!

As Muhammad Ali said: “Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” Live the life to the fullest, be who you want to be, reach your full potential and reach all your dreams 💪🏽💪🏽

Everything in life is temporary 🙏

Had this realization at 16. I'm 18 now and still struggling to cope with it.

I had this experience all of a sudden one night when I was 13. I had a hard time sleeping for the next few nights .

Death is was keeps meaning in our lives remember that.

Don't worry about what if, brother, that's done. Just what now, and what next. The mind is a muscle, and the only way for muscles to get stronger, is to train them. Discipline and consistency. I know from experience, been at a highest and lowest poiny. You gotta keep going :) get up or give up. Cause one day we're gonna get old, so we better have some god damn stories to tell.

We are all gonna die together, is there, but the real question is....... Will you truly live? Always live life without regrets, comma and never look back on the past Questioning yourself if you could have done something differently. If you are living life wanting to do something differently and just not doing it then just do it. You control your own destiny.

for a lot of people life just sucks all the way through

I will always watch this when I am feeling down❤️

This Joe rogan clip has to be one of the single most influential videos I've ever seen, thank you. Right now I am considering tattooing "this is a temporary experience" on my arm, just so I'll never forget such an obvious, but such an overlooked fact in life. It creeps up on you with your daily routine, when everything feels so mundane and normal - those are the moments that suck your life away.

Yes.

Homie put Zyzz in. Got me pumped the second I saw him.

That’s powerful, I had this realisation a couple weeks ago. All we can do is gogo no overthinking and live in the present

Today is my 25th birthday and in experiencing birthday anxiety (never knew this was a thing) for the first time like everything just hit me all at once. Thats cause i think about life on a daily Its crazy.

Love how he talks about living life to the fullest, while they show bodybuilder models who probably spend all day in the gym, obsessing over their own bicep curls...

We are spiritual beings having a human experience 💯

It’s hard for me to wrap my head around “live life and have fun” versus “work hard and build a future”. You can’t exactly do both in your 20’s

The clip is at 60:44 ish, at least on the spotify podcast if anyone is wondering!

I'm hoping that by the time I hit 50 or 60 there would be technology good enough for me to upload my consciousness into digital realm.

Zyzz brah. FUarkkk We're all gonna make it

Kinda just what I needed I don’t know if I have what it takes to turn it around

Not only music from Inception but movie clips of inception.... holy shit motivational pages love this type of content

This is a certified Joe Rogan Experience.

People gets scared pf getting old but dont realize its previlage denied to many!!

I dont want to die, i dont want to fade into the darkness, i dont want to go back to the dust from whence i came

Make the best out of your life

time by hans zimmer i love it

maybe I needed this today

Learned the same thing so recently omg so true

The inception music in the back fits too well

When you reach old age you will use all the TRT,gh,and banned peptides to feel amazing

David malouf's Earth Hour is worth the read

amen love this 🙏🏾

If there was ever a video I needed to see 🔥

Love this video!

Crazy how we do our best to not think were ganna die anytime soon. When just by being alive means we are destined to die lol

I hope Joe Will let us use his material în purpose of education. Nice pic from all his podcasts. Respect!

this made me so emotional :(

just moved into my college dorm today, foot on the gas from now on

You're right it is a temporary experience, but who's to say what comes after isn't just as fulfilling or that any of this even matters, in the grand scheme of things whatever you end up achieving is miniscule in the eyes of the infinite universe, and if i know humans as well as i think i do, the search is never over ... you can accomplish everything in your life that you've ever dreamed of and be stuck sitting there worrying about that one thing you didn't on your deathbed ... There's never an end to satisfy the hunger, enjoy the present for what it is and look forward to what comes after it ... With death being an inevitable aspect of life i'm certain it can't be all that bad when we finally cross over, watching people suffer over it is tragic though ... but we only fear what we don't understand, for all we know it could be like waking up from a dream ...

Think this applies to young women too 😌

My father is in a bad situation right now, he has been since 2019, his illness started when I was 24 I am 26 now it's been a rough year but it's very interesting to watch this, man. I was very "nihilistic" and hedonistic since I thought that was the best way to live but I see my wrongings now and this experience made me more responsible (I mean slowly) which is the opposite of what Joe thought at that moment even though we both came to the same conclusion that, holy fuck I am not going to be young forever and there is a chance I won't die young.

Heavy

I'm about to be 34. It's time.

I wanna live .... I wanna die knowing that I made it thru the struggle

We are all just visiting here.

The Joe Rogan Experience explained

this damn music behind every "inspirational" video

Memento Mori 🖤

Joe: 'you gotta go out there and live' Video-Editor: 'lets find some footage of to hot girls hanging out on chatroulette watching a half-naked dude flexing' 💁‍♂️

Jesus Christ this was deep

rogan you should get Professor Christine Fair on your program, to talk about what really happened in Afghanistan.

Why is Connor Murphy on Omegle thrown in there? 😂

Growing up ain’t fun cause for the most part you just trying to get your shit together in your 20’s
