A short YouTube monologue (uploaded Aug 13, 2024 by Josh Trent) in which the speaker reflects on what they'd tell their 20-year-old self: primarily to learn to trust life and allow life to provide. They advise cultivating a relationship with a higher power (phrased as "cultivate a relationship with God" but not necessarily literal), describe personal struggle with hypervigilance and ongoing work to let it go (mentions being 44), and emphasize that living with purpose and doing work you love is energizing and central to fulfillment.

Chapters

What are the gotchas that you wish your younger self knew? Everyone in here has a purpose. And I feel like if I could go back in like a time machine and put a little letter in my pocket, I would have told myself in my 20s to learn how to trust life, learn how to allow life to provide for you. Like Ben said, cultivate a relationship with God. And it doesn't have to be a bearded dude in the sky. It can be however you relate to that because I think we waste a lot of energy. I know I did speak for myself, not trusting life. I came from an environment when I was young where there was a lot of hyper vigilance and I'm still at 44 getting letting that go. And I think when we talk about energy, this is the main thing is like life on purpose is energizing when you have a purpose, when you wake up and you're living your dream, when you're doing something you love, how many people are here to find whatever it is you love? Maybe you're here for the entrepreneur section or whatever it is, like tune in.
