[Music] most men live lives of quiet desperation it's one of my favorite quotes ever because it's true [Music] you're just in this world where you just can't wait to just run away but I think one of the reasons why these people have this deep-seated anger and resentment is there's a bunch of people out there that have these lives that are deeply unsatisfying because I think there are so many people that are working all day long doing something that is deeply unsatisfying and an almost painful yeah yeah it's all killing soul-killing they're stuck in traffic all day and then they're stuck in a cubicle after that they they relish the time to take a shit in the bathroom and look at their phone I mean they literally do though that's a highlight of someone's day they get in traffic on the way home they get home after that they're watching television I think if people have a regular day job if you could just find some one thing that you do as a passion project and just keep building on it just keep at keep watering it keep adding fertilizer keep giving it attention keep giving it focus and you can escape you can escape and you can be self-serving you could be okay you're gonna be okay look man for making furniture feels good if you can do that you could you could cut those corners perfectly and sand everything down nice and stain it and then it's done you get dissatisfied and you sell it to someone and that pays your bills that is infinitely more satisfying than being stuck in some cubicle working for someone that you don't want to work for having to have these stupid office meetings talking to people and Human Resources sitting down with your supervisor where they evaluate your job performance and you know you're not really you know you really need to be enthusiastic about this company this company is your future this kind of Rd like kill me now you know there's a lot of people out there that would way rather do something else and I hope they understand that they can and people that are trapped in bad situations one of the problems is you feel like this is your future and you can't get out of that there's no hope there's no light at the end of the tunnel there's no rainbow and if you feel like that that alone can be incredibly defining and limiting but if you can look at if you look at yourself objectively and say okay I'm in credit card debt I'm working in a job I I don't like what I'm doing but I have some ideas I need to feed those ideas and I need to feed them and water them and I need to set aside a certain amount of time every day to just try to make those things happen you can do that everyone has a different personality they have different different interests different different things that they would be really satisfied pursuing that's not encouraged the what's encourages go find a job what's encouraged is don't find someplace that you can shove yourself into go find a square hole so you can stick you a round peg and just been jamming in there and shave down the top and the bottom so you slide in with all this extra space on the sides and finish for the rest of your life because you need a job because you're in debt because you have credit cards because you have student loans because that's what everybody does and so you do it too that's what's wrong you have an apartment you have to pay for you have a car you least you have a wife that you have to feed you have a child do you have to raise you have to you have your mortgage you have your this you have your that and that's where it all comes from well the opportunity takes place usually when you're young and you don't have any responsibilities though that's when you have your options well your options are severely limited the more you gather responsibilities like if I had as a 51 year old father of three married man pays taxes as a house and a mortgage and a business and all that jazz if I had to quit everything now and struggle the way I struggled as a stand-up comedian it would never work but the only way I could be this person now is if I took that chance when I was 21 when I was dead broke and had my cars repossessed and all that stuff that's the only way you you ever get where you wanna go you have to you have to take a path it's dangerous and most people want to take the safe path the safe path leaves you in quiet desperation almost every time its hell but can people just make that change I mean you have to plan it out the way you can change is you have to put aside enough money to give yourself a window and then you have to have a plan and you have to spend all your waking hours outside of whatever job you do planning your escape and you have to come to the realization very clearly that you've dumped and you got yourself stuck so whatever you're doing you have to do it like your life depends on it if you're gonna try to be an author and you're working eight hours a day plus commuting plus family responsibilities or whatever else you have whatever time that you have you have to attack like you're trying to save the world you're trying to save your life you don't want to drown that one-and-a-half hours a day that you have to write goddamn you better be caffeinated and motivated you got to go you got to get after it and you got to have discipline that's most people don't have those things most people don't understand what it's like to really go for something and to know that the consequences of not doing that are horrific there are so many people that would be so much happier making $27,000 less a year and the only thing they have to do is sell their current home where they only use eighteen percent of the home anyway and baha'i a home that has two less bedrooms so they don't have to have the job that is paying to maintain the lifestyle that they've propped up for themselves and their life will be like disproportionately better because there's a lot more people living like as many entrepreneurs as they are that should be the employees there's way more people that basically build a life around how much they're earning get to a place where they hate what they're doing to earn have the opportunity to still do something that earns twenty thousand less that they love but a golden handcuffed by worrying about what car they drive or where their house is because they actually care about other people's opinions and nobody has the gear to take a step backwards the inability to take a step back to take step four steps forward and happiness based on other people's opinions of watching you take a step back blows my fuckin face off when do you quit your job and go in when you can afford it happiness is so unbelievably addictive and it's makes me so sad that so many of you created golden handcuffs for yourself that aren't a letting you leave your job because you need to make a hundred thirty thousand a year now because you wanted seven hundred more square feet in your apartment where you wanted a BMW instead of a Toyota and so you're not happy because you wanted two or three things that mean absolutely nothing I promise you when you've tasted both when you both when you meet people that have tasted both I make a hundred eighty thousand a year and I am stuff but I'm not happy and then I went making ninety four thousand a year but I'm doing what I love and I'm super happy and I have a little less stuff it's not even close to a debate so I implore all of you to really dig deep inside of yourselves and try to figure out why you need that stuff I'm gonna save you time you're trying to close an insecurity gap let me give you another huge hint everybody else sucks too so do you if you're 21 and you have no expenses and you're living at home you'd have to go high-risk as soon as you see any blood in the water you go in on 21 and I'm at home and I have no expenses and and I'm making 47 thousand euros pounds dollars doing something I don't love but I want to be a film person and the first person pays me $1,500 or $1.00 forever and it works and it went well and she the boss of this candy store says I'm gonna tell my friends about you I may jump right away I don't have any concerns if I'm 42 years old and I have three kids and a mortgage and I'm $100,000 in debt because I went to college in America and didn't get me a good job and I'm gonna countin and I make 137 thousand a year which basically pays for my overhead roughly because I bought a house bigger than I needed about a car bigger than I needed this cliche American and somebody pays me $1500 and they're like I'm gonna tell my friends I'm gonna give up Netflix and my video games and my weekends to eventually get that to 60 or 70 or 80 or 90 thousand a year before I say okay now I'm at 90 137 if I actually went all-in I can close the gap on that 57,000 now I'm gonna make the jump because I've three kids a mortgage and debt yesterday Aaron is 25 and single and living at home tomorrow he meets Sheila falls in love and you know a million things could happen Sheila could be making a million dollars a year different life Sheila could be making no money but he loves her so much and she wants to buy handbags everyday and now he has a bigger you know financial problems Sheila wants to be his partner she like he wants to buy handbags it's not cliche it's like but jump when you can afford to drown you jump when you can afford to drown what I mean by that is when you jump into the pool you have to know that you've never swam before and you might drown and you have to be able to do that when you can and a 21 living at home you can yeah cuz you can go back and get a job you have no overhead right but at 43 with three kids you might not want to yeah and by the way or you might you might have such a supportive spouse Sheila Aaron's the stay home dad Sheila's making the 147 Sheila talks to Aaron says Aaron I'm gonna die if I don't jump I'm 43 and if I don't jump now I'm gonna be 62 and regret it my whole life so I'm gonna jump and if I fail and the economy collapses I can't get a job we may have to sell this home we may have to move in with our parents in Florida but I have to do that and take the loss in front of everybody's eyes that were losers and we because I know myself and I know if I don't jump now I'm gonna be miserable for 40 years that I was an accountant for my whole life the reason I want everybody to live the way I do we just do not care what other people think once you go there you're willing to jump you're willing to drown you're willing to move in with your 80 year old parents and look like losers with your kids because you just don't care the reason people are letting themselves get happy is because they value other people's opinions more than they valued their happiness they literally value their parents their siblings their best friends and society's opinion more than their own happiness they value like you live your life that you value other people's opinions more than being happy [Music]
