A video to watch when you feel sad and life feels overwhelming

hey welcome to this video if you're having a bad day I hope this will make you feel a little bit better I have my notebook with me and I write here a lot of reminders that really help me when I feel low and when I need someone to tell me some things but I have no one to tell me those things so it's good to go through my notebook and just remind myself some truths cuz they are like they're real you know so if you're having a bad day I hope this will make you feel

a little bit better some things need to end for better to begin and you know when you're comfortable in a situation it's really hard to let go of it because starting over is never Pleasant and it's scary and it's risky as well but sometimes we just need to let go of that job of that relationship that is not no longer serving us no longer serving our needs of that situation that is making us miserable and it's making us sad it doesn't bring us any Joy it just makes us depressed even thinking about it that is

a sign that we need to let go of it in order to make space for something better better to come towards your life strive for Progress not Perfection and by that I mean that social media and the things we see around us and there's always this constant pressure to be perfect in your relationship in your job as a as a parent as a sister as a girlfriend boyfriend as a employee as everything of the clear skin nice body and look pretty and all of those goals I guess but it's like it's like chasing our own

tals no one can be perfect we will never be perfect because we are not we are simply not meant to be perfect and no matter how hard we try if our goal is perfection we will never be satisfied with the person we look in the mirror cuz that doesn't exist so try for growth over Perfection cuz I bet I bet that you are a completely different person than the person you used to be a month 3 months 6 month or a year ago you can't sit there and tell me that you have you are the

same person I know that you have grown you may not be where you want to be but you are not where you used to be you know so give it some time and keep showing up every day keep working on yourself every day and that's how you become better your only competition must be your part past self not your future self not the person you want to be but the person you used to be that's your competition and by comparing yourself to that person that's how you actually see your progress don't take advice from people

who are not where you want to be in life everyone's path everyone's journey is different and everyone's destination is different as well and it's so easy for especially family members or close friends or people who actually do have the best interest in mind and love you and care about you to try to push you towards what they think is best for you always have an open ear always uh seek for advice when you need it but at the end you need to move uh you need to do the thing that you want to do if

something doesn't bring you Joy don't be afraid to go after something new even if it doesn't make sense to everyone it won't it's not it's not meant to make sense to everyone and this is something I've learned the hard way when I was young I always wanted to do something artistic and like be a painter or do something with music because those were my passions but because I had really good grades everyone wanted me to try for law school or doctor or something like that and I pushed P myself so hard I and or something

with computers yes so I pushed myself so hard during my final exams and I did get into a very good uh college with uh computer engineer something like that system and programs and Technology but I did hated it I hated it every time I was going to the college to UNI I was like in tears I hated it until I was able to to keep showing up for a year and a half but then I was like I can't do it anymore and now I've dropped out of uni and I am not proud of that

because you know I've worked so hard to be in there but it was making me so miserable and this is my biggest regret that I didn't go after or I didn't have someone to help me choose what I wanted to do instead of what other people thought was best for me it's always good to ask for advice or consider someone else's opinion but the final decision needs to be yours don't let anyone tell you that you are not worthy of love that you are not worthy of fighting for that your feelings are not valid do

not give that power to anyone anyone no one Des deserves to have that power over you look where you are right now look how far you have come I need you to remember all of those moments that you thought you wouldn't make it all all of those situation that you thought you wouldn't be able to to pull through I need you to remember all those times when you doubted yourself but at the end you prove to yourself and everyone around you that you can still do it and and I need you to remember how much

you have worked to be where you are right now you know cuz no one knows you the way you know yourself no one knows your past no one knows what you've been through I know that everyone seems that like they know what they're doing but trust me when I tell you this no one knows what they're doing everyone is as confused as you are at this moment there is no memo there is no guide of how to do this thing called life and that's the beauty in it you get to choose your next move your

next step you get to choose how your life is going to be it's yours and yours only and I am 30 years old okay and 10 years ago I thought that by now I'll have my own house maybe I don't know start a family or have a be in a more stable relationship but or have my dream job or whatever but the reality is now I'm a 30 years old I just got out from from a breakup which I thought was pretty serious that relationship I thought it was pretty serious but things didn't meant to

happen and I don't even have my own house my bank account let's not go there and like I can say aund things that's going wrong but how can we know how can we we are all doing our best and we are all working with the tools that we are giv in every moment we can plan ahead because every day is different and those feelings that you're having right now feeling scared or uncertain about the future you're not the only one who is feeling that way and that's okay you need to be kinder to yourself and

take it easy on you and don't be so hard and don't expect Perfection you know you are figuring things out we are everyone is figuring things out and everyone is as confused as you are right now and things will change things always change they never stay the same and we need to believe that by doing the right thing by showing up every day by taking care of ourselves by being consistent on the things that actually matter to us by going after our dreams with no fear or even if we are scared still going after them

but by doing things that makes us happy that's how you create a meaningful life with no regrets no EES no BS you just live it and I think that's the beauty of life and that's the the whole point of this of our existence to just live this life the best way we can I hope you're feeling a little bit better and please share down below anything you would like to to share with another person who is going through a tough moment right now and I will see you in my next video bye
