If You Haven’t Succeeded by 30, It’s Probably Over

I appreciate the sentiment, my friend. But, people like me don't become anything.

I'm 44 and I'm very disengaged and disillusioned by life nothing I was told that would be is and nothing I worked hard for have I ever achieved besides my two careers which are meaningless. In fact teaching is something that's going to be obsolete soon and nursing is a thankless career. I have no kids my relationships always long-term(never amounted anything because I was too nice and now I struggle with cptsd and anxiety from tons of layers of betrayal trauma and just trauma in general from life and being someone in this life and a planet that doesn't fit in ve never been married and never had the Milestones most people do. It's hard to live in this life and not be bitter

Such powerful stories of hidden potential!

This video opens up a completely isolated intellectual sanctuary, dissecting behavioral psychology with a sharp and breathtakingly honest awareness! 🏛 The script utterly rejects comforting the masses with shallow philosophies, choosing instead the most hyper-practical, uncompromising arguments to strip away reality. While the content delivers a hard-hitting impact, it serves as a priceless cure that helps the audience shatter all superficial illusions, forging a bulletproof spiritual armor. Every dark cinematic frame blends flawlessly with the authoritative, deep narration, creating an irresistible gravity that firmly establishes a uniquely magnificent and elite identity! 👑⚡🪙

Do you not see what they're trying to do to you? These titles are evil.

I am 36, I will be turning 37 in a month. In 2024 I lost my job at the company that I had been with since I was 19, starting in 2008. Today I work a very low paying customer service job, a very far leap from where I was. I feel like my whole life was built up for nothing and I don't have any value or worth to bring to this world. I've had an idea for a YouTube Channel I've been wanting to make for a long time now called Zenbazuru; it would be an open dialogue on my meditations/thoughts on certain mental health topics, not as a professional but how they are applicable to me and how I see them through the lens of Zen Buddhism. I've wanted to do it for a long time now, but it seems like a worthless endeavor. Would anyone benefit from it? Would I?

I'm about to turn 30 y/o next month.

As a late 30s this title kind of triggers me for some reason😅

😆

Cool, now I don't have to worry about it. It's already over.

As an artist that’s all I can hope for at this point in my life, for someone to find what I’ve done and appreciate it.

Yeah, I'm unsubscribing from this channel and asking YouTube not to recommend it for all the shameless suicide fuel it peddles.

Wrote some novels which I thought could be compared with those of Tolstoy. Result? Rejected by every publisher. I paid for some copies to be printed and gave them away to anyone interested. Big mistake. Nothing but accolades. A woman said one was the best book she'd ever read. Keep writing, they said. But I won't. I wrote those novels when my children were young. I lost hundreds of the most precious hours of their lives naively thinking I could be a successful writer. Am I an undiscovered genius? Almost certainly not, but I know one thing – there is a type of success that consists in the acceptance of failure. The world is just not constructed for all dreams to come true.

I always scoffed at people who would tell me, "Never give up," as it always seemed like some generic, offhand platitude chucked at me by people who don't get me or how hopeless everything seemed. This feels like it uncovered the deep understanding beneath such a platitude in a way that doesn't feel invalidating, in a way I think has finally reached me.

centuries? plural? it hasn't even been 2 yet

6:05 diabolical

if this was supposed to make me feel better. it doesn't. its selfish of me to say but i dont care if anything i do matters AFTER im dead. it wouldn't matter to me bc im ALREADY dead

Legacy…it’s ALL about your legacy.

Every time i watch a Pursuit of Wonder video, it's as if the video chose me, it is that accurate and relates to exactly what i am going through at that exact moment. This one hits especially hard, and once again, i clicked on it by complete accident. Been a viewer since 2019 <3 thank you ever so much Robert

Try. Until the bitter end. Try.

Hey, thanks for this, friend.
I turned 30 last year, and had to leave my job because I got diagnosed with a debilitating condition and became disabled.
It’s been difficult, painful, and probably the most difficult year of my life. I thought my life was over, and that I’ll never get to enjoy what i no longer could do.

I’ve since started hiking again. It might not seem like much, but I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed it.
Started getting healthier, had to re-learn how to walk.
It’s not much, and progress is excruciatingly slow.
But hey, it’s not over.

I turned 31 today, and I never thought I’d make it this far. I have a newfound gratitude for things, and am now learning to play the ukulele.

Thank you for your work, and if anybody’s reading this, keep on going on.
I believe in you!
