    • Maybe building dreams is the problem. What if it’s better to live in the moment and be satisfied with just enough?

      @helloalanframe@helloalanframeАй бұрын

    • @@helloalanframe It depends, if a person lives better than you thanks to your work, takes the merits and earns more money than you, when you are the one who promoted their dream, and suddenly you go through a difficult stage in your life, that person you helped build their dream will not be affected; It will do well, while you will be left regretting why you didn't invest that energy in yourself, instead of "feeling satisfied" and saying to yourself, "I have enough with this." There is also the situation of investing all your effort and energy in the dream of someone else, someone who shares your same vision but has more resources to realize it. However, you are actually working towards THEIR dream, and if this person ultimately doesn't fulfill it, all your work is wasted, thus wasting valuable time from your life.

  • I too left my 9 to 5 in India without any backup. Everyone around me is questioning , why i left my well paid job. I too am in my late 20’s. But the real reason is corporate will make you mentally sick over a long period of time and if you are a female , it’s quite difficult in later years . I dont want my 30’s to be the same . Thanks for the video. I guess we are all living the same life in different countries.

    • I'm glad to find you and others in the comment section going through the same path. I definitely felt that as a female, it would be very difficult to continue this path when I saw my ex co-workers working extreme hours under so much pressure. I guess it doesn't matter which country we live in... (which kind of warms up my heart, we live so far yet so close ♡)

  • This is exactly my situation. I bought a car because I thought it could motivate me to stay in the job I hated. I go out every weekend and be happy for a day until Monday comes again. I always have a mental break down before I start working. My attitude changed so much it affected my relationship with my husband. I always vent and lash out at him. I quit my job this month even if it meant my income would be cut in half and even if I lost a friend because of that decision. I no longer care if I lose the car I just bought. It's just not worth it. I decided to just live simply with a peace of mind.

    • You are lucky you even have the privilege to quit and still not have some income coming in. I dont get the people who complain about working 9-5 then quitting when they have the opportunity to do just that yet have a safety net cushion to fall back on aka here your husband. Hopefully youre treating you husband better now since you can take a break and they cant for the time being and you didnt mention anything about after quitting and improvements in the relationship

      @semekiizuio@semekiizuioАй бұрын

  • Interesting take with a lot of great points.. I quit my 9-5 about 3 years ago and returned to it this year because I realized that as much as I hated the cons it came with, it still came with a lot of benefits as well.. and I realized having that safety net right now is extremely important, especially when you have people relying on you like a significant other. I learned that we can have a 9-5 and do something creatively, but we just give ourselves excuses to NOT do the thing because we're worn out with our jobs. There's going to be different seasons of your life that demands different things from you and knowing how to deal with them is important. At the end of the day, I don't think there's 1 answer to these complex issues, but I learned to continue and persevere no matter what season I'm in. Hope this helps someone!

  • This video really spoke to me! I’m 31 and going through the same thing. I’ve began hating myself too and feeling like a failure. So sick of corporate America and being trapped in the typical 9-5, I want to be free to make content and build up my YT channel, work from the comfort of my home (that’s my happy place/sanctuary). I want to build a life I don’t want to escape from. I don’t want to dread Monday mornings. Have to get last bit of debt paid off, catch up On some bills & get some money saved

Also started having mental breakdowns, also started therapy. Feels like the corporate is sucking out your soul and having any kind of emotion is a weakness.

  • The timing of this video!!!! I resigned from my awful retail job at a not-so-luxury luxury store. Before that, it was doing a degree I hated and my skin condition got so bad, but somehow, it healed itself right after I left the stressful environment. I also realised the same as you, time is the most valuable because it's finite. I thought if I'm placed here on the earth to fulfill someone else's vision that I don't align with, then I may as well end it right there and then. I'm in my mid twenties, and have no intention to let my youth go to waste. All the best, thank you for sharing your story.

I’m trying to build a digital training course to hopefully start an income stream for myself, but it is hard and I’m still stressed, but not nearly as stressed as I was when working. I think you can only do what you can do and we need to be kind to ourselves if we can’t keep up as the demands are impossible.

As you were sharing your experience and how you got to the breaking point I started crying because it's exactly what I went through a couple of months ago. Left my 9-5 job as a permanently stressed data scientist at a huge unicorn in Latin America. No backup plan, no severance, goodbye to my medical insurance and other benefits, no huge $ savings. It's the best I could have done for my mind and and body. I haven't fully recovered yet but I feel like a plant that needed water desperately and it's finally receiving some rain. As part of my healing journey I will go on a one month-long trip in your beautiful country next month, which has always been my life-long dream. Afterwards I will figure out what is next for me in life. I wish you a happy path towards recovery. You've made the right choice. New adventures await for you!
