Reflections on YouTube Lifestyle and Personal Aspirations: Navigating Envy and Defining Success


While watching a YouTube video of a prankster collaborating with another YouTuber, I felt a sense of envy toward their freedom and ability to manifest the lifestyle they wanted.   

This person does not have a job, giving them more free time and flexibility that I wish I had. While watching, it occurred to me that these YouTubers' skills at manifesting the life they desire make them seem special to me.  

I am grateful for the insight I have gained regarding my own perception of lacking the ability to create the life I aspire to. However, I acknowledge that I do not possess a complete understanding of their individual stories, which makes it difficult to make accurate comparisons between our lives. While I may be tempted to believe that he is more successful, I am aware that success can manifest at different stages in life, as exemplified by inspiring individuals like Grant Cardone.

I recognize that success can have diverse interpretations, and the definition held by this YouTuber may differ from my own. Personally, my vision of success revolves around attaining financial independence through wealth accumulation and business ownership.

In practical terms, I have already taken the initial steps towards my goals by establishing my own small email marketing business. Though it may still be in its early stages, I consider it a blessing for which I am truly grateful. Owning any business, regardless of its size, grants me the independence and flexibility that I deeply appreciate.

Looking ahead, my next endeavor is likely to involve investments, and fortunately, my current job provides me with the means to pursue this avenue. Employment not only ensures a income generation but also offers the opportunity to invest. I am fortunate to have reliable transportation, a source of income, an existing business, and well-defined plans that I can further develop when the timing aligns, allowing me to create the prosperity I aspire to for myself.

Grateful for the Challenges: Embracing Difficult Emotions and Personal Growth

I am grateful for July 13th, 2023, which was a Thursday, because that day brought about shifts in my mind. Throughout the day, I experienced tiredness, annoyance, and a series of unfortunate events, such as spilling the juice from some cans of dog food on myself. The unpleasant scent lingered throughout the day, making it a challenging day overall. Despite the difficulties, I am grateful for these experiences because they allow me to sit with and process difficult emotions. I recognize that I am not just happiness; I am also boredom, anger, sadness, disappointment, and annoyance. All of these emotions are part of who I am, and it is important to acknowledge and accept them. By sitting in these emotions and exercising gratitude, I gain a broader perspective of myself and my experiences. I can use these moments as opportunities to learn and grow, and hone my coping skills for when similar situations arise in the future.

Grateful for the Path of Personal Growth: Embracing Self-Value and Empowerment

I am grateful for the progress I am making in my personal growth. It is a path that is set for me, and I am thankful for the challenges that come my way because they help me to grow and nurture my soul. In the past, I defined myself a lot contingent on the value that others gave me, and some of my worth was contingent on how much money I had in which I still struggle with sometimes. Although, my self-worth has evolved drastically in other ways. However, I forgive myself for defining my value based on how others perceive me, and I recognize that I must find value within myself rather than seeking validation from others. Money does not define my worth as a person. Instead, it is my character, integrity, and values that truly matter and will live on forever. I am grateful for the teachings, mentorship, and friendship of the Swaruunians , as well as Za'el and Arien . They have helped me to understand the importance of personal development and the power of ideas. I forgive m...
