I'm 29 and trying to learn about the 30's in advance. However I am trying to learn and understand this statement as I haven't came to this realisation yet. A lot of things matter to me but how do I come to the concept of nothing matters? Is it more about grounding yourself and focusing on the now because the present moment is all that matters? and when we die, in 500 years...we will no longer matter? Is that your way of thinking?
@@tanyarenaissance8829 OMG I'm in the same boat! haha. I'll be 30 in September. From what I can take from the initial comment is that you shouldn't stress about things. Live in the moment that you are in and continue to find exciting, healthy, and impactful experiences in your life. Whether that is traveling, learning a language, exploring more of your passions, or even discovering cool and new recipes. :)
it means you don't matter either then. Why are you living then? People who say nothing matters are just upset they didn't find any meaning and try to reason it out but claiming nothing around matters either. Actually, everything matters. If it didn't, it wouldn't exist. Now look honestly at yourself and try do understand why there is no meaning in your life.
@@mikebluet yeah. as i also talk with more older people. they educate me how life is too short to fight over pointless things. because when we die, those things won't matter anymore
Great advice for life! Now at 40, it took some of my thirties to figure these things out. One quote I’ve found helpful in life is “You’ll worry what people think of you until you realize they don’t.” No idea who to attribute it too. Keep up the good work!
Just reach 30, i dont feel depressed, but like my best life is behind me, like my youth is over but at the end of the day its just how you think, biologically speaking 30 is not old you can still be strong and look younger than 17
@@jugg9140 You still in your youthful adulthood. You've only been an adult for 12 years and most of those 12 years you didn't know what you were doing in the first place. In your 30's is a magical time where your body is still very healthy and your mind is sharp to what ever you want. Also just fyi in the next decade or 2 there will come some longevity products that will either slow down or reverse aging, so just realize we will live longer than our parents did by a large margin. Just think you are 70 and look and feel 25? Sign me up. Enjoy your day!
@@kazykamakaze131 absolutely true, 30s is the magical year, 20s we were dumb and full of high spirit that we did not think clear, but in 30s we still have that high spirit but our brain grows a little more and yes our body is still fit and strong, nice words mate.
I still remember listening to blink 182's "What's my age again?" back in 8th grade when they say "nobody likes you when you're 23". While that sounds negative, I learned that in my early 20s nobody did "care" about you when you were 23 and that is about the time you realized that you are not 18 or 21 anymore, you are crossing that path to adulthood and truly claim independence, leaving the days of youthful late teens and start taking control of your life. I did not to start to feel like my "age" until I was 28 and realize my career is my life that will lead me into my 30s and beyond (because I love my profession). Everyone is different but I had less friends and only a few remained as close friends, you still keep in touch with old friends but your work schedule is your best friend and also your worst enemy. You are more inclined to stay at home and relax than going to the bars (some people really love to be out at the bars - especially if you are single) but I came from a life of party background and I didn't relax until I was 32 and called it quits on going to the bars. I am also in a long term relationship (with marriage potential) and I am with someone who is also in their 30s, no kids, has a profession and no rush to be in a marriage. The most important thing you can do in your 30s is to stay active. Exercise 3-4 times a week and keep the weight off because when you are in your 30s, it is really difficult to get the weight off unless you have an extremely good metabolism. Weight gain is easier in your 30s. Because you are not as "active" as you should be and your body takes a while longer to recover. If you have a career, dont get too overwhelmed and dont let stress take over your day and time. When you get out of work, you get your mind off of work. Unless you work in a profession that requires off duty attention such as a surgeon, dentist, law enforcement, military, business owner, on call service techs etc.. Always know that there are many 30 somethings in this world experiencing the same darn thing and keep your closest friend closer to your life because they are important to have. I have 4 long life best friends who I have been friends with since 8th grade. We are all in our 30s now and we make fun of each other of how old we are now but it still makes us happy that we know each other so well all these years and still going strong. Making new friends in your 30s is tough. Especially when it comes to males making friends with other males in your 30s because its a different approach. The last person I made friends with in my early 30s was 3 years ago and it was a former co worker who I ran into at a bar and we hangout here and there. Everyone is different and your experience may differ than mine. If you are still reading this, enjoy your life and really, dont let age get to you. Enjoy every moment of your 30s. Embrace it.
Love so much. This video is everything. I’m 29 and months out from 30. I just feel so incredibly grateful for this place in life. Even without everything being perfect, I feel so much more confident, in control, yet accepting of uncertainty. You summed it up expertly. Enjoyed this video and happy to know this is a wonderful season to enjoy.
My biggest lesson was how credit scores worked and the importance of building credit. I spent my late teens, twenties, and early thirties in the military and never had credit cards or took out any loans. When I was medically retired at 35, I realized I had no credit what-so ever, and really wished I had of built up credit history. They really should teach that information in High School economics class.
I have to agree with her. I've only been 30 for a few months and have felt more comfort and confident than I have ever felt. I don't take people's garbage anymore because I know who I am.
Some really good advice here for you younger people. I am 51 now and wish I had heard this when I was in my younger days. I am glad you have found such a peaceful mental space to dwell in. It definitely shows in your work and interactions on scope. Keep on keepin' on!
I was in a relationship that sounded a bit like yours. After 7 years, the breakup with my boyfriend looking back was a blessing in disguise. The moment I stepped foot in a grocery store after my breakup, I didn’t know what to buy. I had to remind myself that I could buy… whatever I wanted. Looking back, my boyfriend had decided everything we bought for groceries while also judged me for any items I wanted to buy and in which case, I let him change my mind. Happy to be out of that relationship.
A lot of this is excellent advice. I'd like to add my 2 cents to this topic even though I haven't quite hit 30 yet. 1. Quit concerning yourself over petty things. This is the main source of teenage drama, but it also happens among people in their early 20s. Distressing over something inconsequential can really detract from a greater goal or a bigger problem. I find that this can be resolved by asking yourself "Will all of this matter 5 days from now? Heck will this matter 5 hours from now?" 2. Have a variety of hobbies. I'm sure everyone has a favorite thing to do in their spare time, but doing it isn't always possible. It is also easier to get bored from doing the same thing over and over. I enjoy hiking and visiting national parks a lot, but when I am stuck at home I will read a book from my mini-library, or watch anime. 3. Stay fit and active. Try to get a gym membership, or go for a run a few days a week. Even simple calisthenics at home work. The benefits of staying true to a consistent workout regime will pay off. And don't forget a healthy diet, I find this harder to maintain than getting regular exercise.
Steph, I am so incredibly proud of you. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your growth and your journey. I’m learning from you and you’re helping me grow. We’re going to do even more great things, I just know it ♥️
You will just realize that you can't drink like in your 30's, hehe. All jokes aside I am really enjoying my 30's and I am healthier than nearly all my friends and look and feel like my younger 20's. It goes to show if you look after yourself in your 20's and keep at it in your 30's that you will be rewarded for it.
Bless your heart, Steph! Being half way through my 40's I have learned a lot along the way as well. 2020 has really shown us to expect changes! I need a vacation trip so bad right now!!!
Love this thank you :) I’m 24, going on 25. Wanting to go full time into real estate and quit my job t just scared! This was a great encouragement to just go for it because I have so many decades left
I’m glad this gave you encouragement! Real estate definitely seems like a “people” business. I would imagine that if you’re naturally good with people, you have the potential to succeed, depending on what market you’re in. Would you be keeping your current job and do real estate school at the same time and then quit your current job once you’re licensed? That’s exciting!!
What made you want to reveal yourself? Wow this is a very revealing and somewhat vulnerable video about yourself. I applaud you for your openness and heart-felt honesty. Thank you for the great advice.
@@StephTaylerLive no not really in most of your videos I have watched your really wysiwyg. What you see is what you get. You are genuinely a very humble woman and like my fishing buddies would often say "She's a Keeper" ;-) I can guess your age give or take a few years.
Thanks a lot for this amazing video, I'm currently in my 20s and your video has helped me to reflect on and figure out my own ways of living, and how to improve my life! Have a great day and an amazing life! :)
"It's totally okay to still not know what I want to do with my life." I nearly cried when I heard that because I really needed that validation. At 33, I still don't have it figured out what I want to do with my life and I always felt so bad about it.
At 24, I was diagnosed with ptsd, had SEVERAL spiritual awakenings, and traumatized by cults and getting shot at while being discriminated against. I’m 28 now, life has changed in SO many ways as I approach my 30s, growing up being able to drink, get tattoos, buy a car 🚙 and house 🏠 was the go to thing. Now people are more concerned about technology, iPhones 📱, iPads, etc. they rarely have wild parties anymore and technology has caused everyone to think differently. By the time you hit your late 20s to early 30s, yes you are grateful for your parents but you think about that differently too. Some of us might think 🤔 that we were raised wrong or right. By the time I was 24, I started to question the “friends” I had, they went from being nice and caring, to inconsiderate, angry jerks who faked being nice to me (some of them were cult members). I realized, I need blame to balance out the victories, I also learned you will never fully be good or fully be bad. All in all we don’t know how to live life always.
When you said that busy does not equal successful, that really resonated with me. I often had that thought when I was just working and working more, prior to Covid 19 happening. I really want to travel more while I'm still in my 30s. This video was inspirational, and a nice reminder that it's never too late to make changes in life, but to also accept change as it comes.
Isn’t it interesting how we (as a society/generation) think that having our calendars packed is going to bring us success? And it’s funny how many of us will wear it as a badge and compare who has more on their plate lol I’m glad this resonated with you!
@@StephTaylerLive It is interesting. Right now, I feel like my job is more a means to an end. I'm 32 and still waiting to find a "calling." Lol. You should make a video about some of your top favorite international travel destinations, or maybe your time in the military! I think that would be cool!
omg. the whole collection of travel recordings is pure gold. you are above and beyond as you shared in your previous content. so maybe you could take this to another level and be a travel guide. actually set up travelling for others and get into the with others thing. i know you a super independant and that is where its at to master you craft. so what is next for you? i'd love to talk with you on the phone in the future. you are a total pro. ttyl............... m. :)
Hey Steph! Newbie here! Subbed as of your last video. I can't get enough of travel vloggers lol. Very pleased that lockdowns are easing (though in some places, sadly it seems to be happening too soon). This was wonderful, so candid, heartfelt, eloquently said. OMG I can relate to anxiety believe me. That on top of autism spectrum disorder..it can be like gasoline on a fire sometimes. No nerves watching you that's for sure! So happy to have found this channel. (btw not a fan of creme brulee either lol)
Lol. Loved this video. I absolutely love your look on life. You have this amazing confidence and it sounds like it took a lot of work to get there. Also, the anxiety section got me laughing. Youre also right with that too. Lol Anyway, thank you. I needed this today.
I’m new here, thank you for your travel guides and tips on what to expect. Thank you for sharing your experiences good or bad and most of all your Positive Vibes. I feel we all need this in these times. Love Aways Wins! ☺️
Hello, thank you for sharing and speaking it out. I hit most of the items that you've spoken of in this video in my 30ssss besides taking care of my body. I am getting to my late 30s now and life got busier at the moment. While in the progress of exploring and finding my true self is in my 30s, I accidentally found something more meaningful of my life from the volunteering experience. You can be a positive influencer, an example of anybody, contributing something in your own way to family, student, society, or people who in need. XD Thanks once again!
Truth, I’ve leaned all that in my mid 30s too. And I’m still learning about things till this day . I love learning and upgrading my self . What’s your most favorite thing you have learned so far ?
Shes cute.... personality is everything. 30's are great. save cash to travel, I save gold/silver for long term. Being single and comfortable in my own skin, learning, being humble and taking ownership of my life and actions.
What i learned in my 40s is that i still look younger, stronger and healthier then those in their 20s. The movie Idiocracy was literally a documentary. Despite your makeup, your failings and aging face is obvious
Thanks. I’ve been told by people in the music industry that I have an “expensive voice” 😂 Should I start a podcast? No training other than news reporter training a few years ago.
Steph sensible advice and what did you studied at uni? It is so ridiculous the cost of tertiary education in the States compared to Australia where I am from. As well the medical expenses are astronomical that it beggars belief you are living in supposedly the richest country in the world. First world name but third world standards. So sad. Stay safe and hope to see you shoot more wonderful videos in the future.
travelling is in my blood....and in yours also...choose dubai for yur next destination...you will love this city of miracles.....i have been there eight times....
I'll still have my Hello Kitty stuff . When I turn 30. I don't care what anyone thinks😝 and if I get a prince charming a.k.a a man well let's just say he'll look good in hello Kitty stuff 😋🤪 WHAT ❓Guys wear Hello Kitty stuff too😊🌼 Yep I'm that 27 year old that is confident🤨 well sometimes 🙂 self supporting and knows what she wants. When she wants more hello Kitty stuff 😍🌼😁 yes I'm obsessed but I can afford to be 😋 Ok ok I got social anxiety issues too nobody's perfect🥴 Luv's💖ya Steph 🤗🌼💕💖
Take one free advice...Make your own family...Living with your parents shows how childish you are...Your family will support you even when your parents leave earth and go to stars...People make their family only because they have same life expectancy...
