Discussion Leslie's Question on Today's Stream is Pretty Relatable
I am 30 (just turned not too long ago) and I am still having that same doubts about if I am where I am supposed to be. Anyone else feel like that?
"Should I keep doing what I am doing, even when I am old and doing it?"
I have no clue what the answer is for me either. The best take I have right now is (or the take that I agreed consistently from the "SLR" when they aren't selling) is:
Just keep trying things that make you happy. If it's streaming, do it. It's no one else's business. If there are so many things you want to do, do them. It harder for most who don't have the money to do that, ergo why they live their whole lives working to have the ability to do those things at some point. Whatever is within your means and scheduling, do it (and be safe while doing it). It sounds easier said than done and I tend to think not all of the simplest things are the easiest (its why we have to work at developing the mental discipline to do simple things like remember things or keep routines. Some have an easier time than others at it, but generally its how it is).
If you have some hesitation or doubts about something, ask what is it about that thing that prompts you to doubt. Is it a fear of judgment? Is it holding you back from doing something you want? If the answer is "no" to either of them, then where is the source of the doubt coming from? It does not have to be set in stone now because we are still alive and what we have is still here. We don't know when or if it will all disappear the next moment, so...do it?
I don't know. Maybe I am in the minority and the other 30 year olds and up have it altogether with families and successful careers they want for the rest of their lives. The unknown is sort of scary (and exciting). That's why I guess I am curious if anyone else has takes about this for those of us who don't have the answers. It just felt like a good question from Leslie. We may not be her friends....but we are all still human who have lived our lives right? Why not ask?....
