What Nobody is Telling You...

In this episode of The GaryVee Audio Experience, I talk about why you're not lost in life, you're just early in the process. I share why the biggest reason you don't know what you want to do is you haven't tasted enough things, and why you're worried about finding it too fast. I also discuss why youth trades on time while age trades on experience, and why everybody in their 20s is judging themselves way too early. You'll learn about: • Why You're Not Lost in Life • Tasting Enough Things • Patience in Your 20s • Time vs. Experience • Post-University Reality

  It is stunning to me that the majority of people that are watching this right now have first-world problems.

  I see so many young people, rightfully so, and it makes me admire them, be so altruistic, yet they're so weak inside themselves. They act as though they want to help the world as a way to build confidence. You know, it's a facade. It's ego. And that's fine, and it's a lot better than other things, so I don't judge. It's just, I wasn't able to give this much back until I scratched a couple things for myself.

  I'm starting. I'm in a rut.

  Because?

• 0:43Speaker 01

  Because I just finished army, just two years, so I just came by. I really don't know why I want to do it. I don't want to find out right now.

  You've got to try stuff. The biggest reason you don't know what you want to do is you haven't tasted enough things. And the biggest reason you're not tasting enough things is you're worried about finding it too fast. It's patience. Lost in life? It's patience. You can't be lost in life when you're this young. You just have to change your mindset. Like, to me, when I look around, this many people being in their twenties, like, everybody's judging themselves way too early. What I would do is gather as many experiences as possible. Almost everything is perspective. Like, I think, I think I'm just starting, so imagine what I think for most of you.

  Patience. Patience. You know, whether it's your parents, or yourself, or people. Everybody's trying to prove something so early. Too many people view post-university as like, "Oh shit, this is now real and I'm lost." They don't put it in the context of being alive for 100 years and realizing they're only 20% of the way done. Everybody's got strengths and weaknesses. What a 60-year-old has is experience, but doesn't have time. So they trade on experience. What youth has is time. You can literally do four different things over the next two years, six months at a time, to figure out everything that you think you might like, you should try to do. But that's not what people tell you to do.

  You're not lost in life, you're just early in the process. You know what I mean? You're lost by other people's standards, not by your actual...
