Brilliant video! I am 69 and in better shape than I was in my 50's. I know you are focussed on 25-30 year olds but your truth works for old guys like me too. While I have my own personal style, I enjoy watching you take care of yourself. You are an inspiration! Thank you!

I think the last point of extreme accountability can also lead you to an unhealthy point in life where you are feeling overstressed and depressed. I think looking at your own part in a problem is always good, but if something is really not your fault then you also should not take that responsibility. Life is not that black and white. It may take more mental effort but in the end i think it is much more realistic and mentally healthy to take the time out of your day to reflect on things that bother you and try to recognize what is on you and what is not rather than going to extremes and externalizing or internalizing everything.

It's really comforting and inspiring to hear these lessons from someone you look up to. I was a subscriber ever since you published those videos on white shirts, and I'm glad to see the success you have now. Thanks for the video Tim!

I just have turned 25 and have been feeling lost my whole life. Thank you for this video, I think it really hit me.

Once i saw the first point i knew this was a no bullshit video. Im in the second half of my twenties and i need to make it count. Thank you

Holy shit, never thought this channel would drop a self-improvement bomb as hard as this! Awesome video, I have been implementing some of these myself in the past year, and my self esteem, living standards and general happiness with my life has shot through the roof.

Not sure about this one. Masturbation for example is super important for the sexual orientation of ppl that grow up. And also normal for grown ups. Porn is a different topic. But sentences like „society got weak“ are off and dangerous imo. Since this stuff is normally said by toxic men (Tate etc.) that are not comfortable with the change that’s happening.

I love this video. He speaks about things that most of us can relate to or are sttruglling with. He's real and not fake about the subjects he talks about. I'm 22 and I've had my ups and downs since turning 18. I was doing engineering at 18 and a paralegal program, but I kept having so many issues with my PC and money. I didn't get a job until I was 20 and I couldn't drive until I was 20. I come from a poor famliy and it's been hard these past years. I'm currently working on my paralegal degree and then going back to engineering, finally. When I was a teen got trapped in some of these things that he has talked about and I'm still working on some of them, but I've learned a lot and have grown up. I think most of us who watched this video can relate to it and I hope that everyone has grown or is growing to become a better version of themselves. From what I've learned so far is that you need goals and you need to be commited to them. Porn is nothing but a bottomless pit that will steal your life and happiness away if you don't get some help. Honestly, it's very hard to get away from it but I think that one of the main reasons a lot of people get trapped in it is beacuse it they're bored or thye're not doing anyting. Get out and excersise and learn something new, even if you have a degree already. Also, don't waste your time and energy on fake people and people who just want to use you. Also, stay away from social media as that is another trap and is just a waste of your time. In the end, set goals, keep 1 or 2 close friends (real friends), stay away from social media, and if you're addiceted to porn, get some help. I know it's embarrasing to talk about but it will feel amazing once you get away from it and see how much time you have and energy.

This has to be one of the most important videos I’ve ever watched. It deserves to be watched over and over when I am feeling demotivated and lost. Thank you so much!

Here to remind all the disabled folks here that it’s okay to chill out. You are not lazy. Your personal version of success is just as valid as this guy’s. The goal for us is to find a sustainable way to continue surviving and not hit burnout. Sending love to you ❤

I'm 21 right now and I feel like I consistently do most of what you talked about in this video. I'm still kind of in an in between stage in my life right now as I'm going to school and working towards finding a career to have after I graduate, but for the most part, I feel successful. Thank you Tim, for giving me reassurance that doing the right thing for myself does in fact pay off. I know that my hard work won't go to nothing

I would like to offer a different take, especially on „hustle“. And I do consider myself to be someone who very much has their life together, now at 30. I am exceptionally good at my profession and I did learn quite a lot over the last few years. And that is that hustle culture is a negative thing. Because it pushes you to go over your limits, to forget your own physical and mental health. Because it is near impossible to get everything done that you want to get done - work, chores, your relationship, sport, friends, relaxing, etc. Also, I learned that almost everything is possible in less time. More work often doesn‘t yield more results because your body is fatigued after a certain time - again, mentally and/or physically. So most people don‘t work more than 5 hours of an 8 hour work day productively. Just upping work time doesn‘t make a significant difference. Instead, listening to your body, knowing when you need rest or when you‘re exhausted, makes you more productive if you give your body what it needs. Hustle culture promotes going over these limits and doing unproductive work in the hopes that more work also means more money/success. But statistics show pretty clearly that just isn‘t the case. Like, if you don‘t take the time after an injury to heal properly, you might re-injure yourself or healing takes quite a bit longer. So taking the time most often is the more productive choice instead of „hustling“. Yes, there are certain times where a lot of work needs to be done in a short amount of time, but that should be for a very (very!) limited time only. Slow and steady progress is by far superior to short term, immediate progress. Also: consider „survivorship bias“. A lot of people promoting „hustle culture“ are the few who were lucky to get to the point where they are visibly successful, but there are a lot of people who did the exact same thing but were not as successful. So this is far from a real recipe for success, otherwise it would - as you said, Tim - be easy to reproduce, if you just had to work harder. And I for one have seen a lot of success in respecting that everybody needs time for themselves, that not hustling but leading a balanced and healthy life leads to much more productivity. I do like the point of accountability though. That I think is really important, because you can only improve when you acknowledge your own shortcomings - and it is also the only thing you can work on. Most other things are out of your own control. This is btw something I learned from playing multiplayer video games in my teens. And also from my own past failures that forced me to reflect what I did wrong and what I would enjoy more than I was doing at the time. So I really want to emphasize accountability while strongly refuting „hustle“ as some useful habit.

Thanks you so much man for these advices, i can tell it was a genuine and from then heart talk. Im a 24yo guy who has suffered a lot from depression, ocd, anxiety and other stuff, and right now im at the point where im taking my life into my own hands so your vid couldnt be any more helpful. Stay healthy, happy and strong.

Thanks Tim. This provided value to me.

I was always really bad with #7, I always hated how I looked, my mindset etc and I realized that I was the only person who got me to that spot. Freeing myself from that mentality made me so much better and brought my life to a positive, outward focus instead of a narrow inward view. It was really tough, for me it was totally the hardest for me on this list but it has done wonders. I love these videos!

I never commented on your videos before, but point number 7 with the extreme accountability is one of my main tricks to get my focus back. Nobody ever said the same or agreed with me on that, so glad somebody thinks the same. Maybe great minds think alike. It got me from getting rejected from my dream company with 19 to getting an internship there that's beyond everything I could imagine there 4 years later, absolut murderous trick. Keep up the good work.

that was a CRAZY start and wasn't expecting that as a first one lmao

man, Tim! Thank you for sharing these! Totally agree on all points! Took me 30 years and a great loss before I started changing my life and became more aware, intentional, and accountable. I guess what I need to work on right now is point number 3, Massive action taking. I feel that I'm still in the safe zone and not pushing myself to failure because of fear of burnout, but there will always be a way. I just need to figure it out

I love these types of videos Tim. More of these please!!! The vibe these videos give off is really relaxing
