    Male miscers: Life gets better as you get older (srs)

    Do not be afraid. As you get older and more settled, you will begin to appreciate life more. Yes, the world is oftentimes unjust and unfair, but most of us will come to a sort of peace with it - note that peace does not mean that we will not seek reform, but rather that we will not be constantly filled with angst.

    You will develop hobbies, hopefully strengthen your friendships and family relationships, and explore new interests. You may even choose to marry and start a family. Whatever you do, try to excel at it. Do not be satisfied with mediocrity in whatever you decide to pursue.

    As long as you strive for excellence and are constantly learning, life is a joy. Do not be afraid of growing old.


    P.S. None of this holds true for 90+% of females
    When all that says 'it is good' has been debunked, what says 'I want' remains.

    Hey man... I've started working and compared to college life, it just sucks. I mean you have barely any free time, little time to do what you want. What words of advice can you give me? I know I should "man up" etc. because it's a part of life, but I never realise it'd be this bleak..

    Thanks

    How many hours a day would you say you work? If you have flexible hours I would suggest going to work early and returning early. If not I would suggest getting up early anyway, and finding a pre-work hobby, preferably involving the outdoors (hiking, etc).

    I agree. I also think a big part of being happy is learning to accept the way things change.

    I'm a trainee F1 doctor (I live in England) with no flexibility in hours, on call every week and work up to 13-14 hours a day (and it's worse if I'm doing graveyard shifts). Really becoming jaded with my job and life, I know people think it's a noble profession but my life comes first and it just feels like a chore.

    Usually my hours are 8-6, but in reality, including travelling and realistic times, it's 7am-9pm.

    Thanks for any advice man I really appreciate it. I'll try and measley rep tomorrow

    I agree OP life has its stages and with each one there are challenges and opportunities, Ive embraced the fact that life is a constant adaptation and happiness will only come from within.

    Also LOL @ *******s who have hatred and anger towards everything, learn to enjoy the simple sht in life,

    BRB chasing elusive dreams forever and never being happy.

    Each person has to find his own level of balance, the only advice I have is to wake up early and align yourself with the natural clock. You will find you have more time.

    The bad(for me at least):
    Hair thinning
    Have to actually work out to stay thin, and work even harder to get bulk.
    Responsibility

    The good:
    People take you seriously
    Have more money
    Bitches are less fickle and annoying(note i said less)
    Start to realize most crap in life doesnt matter

    overall my lifestyle hasnt changed since I was 22. I just own a house and get laid easier now.

    Yeah, in that case it is quite hard, I have other friends who are doctors and they find it very hard to balance their lives. Sorry, I cannot help you here, except maybe if you find a way to get real excited about the work you do.

    At least you are practicing in the UK where you serve people based on need and not based on profit, I imagine that would at least provide you some motivation.

    Fair enough.

    Out of curiosity brah what's your job, and how many hours is it / how many hours of free time do you get in the day?

    I'm completing F1 and F2 (next year), because it makes sure I get registered and so I can come back to the profession if I decide to take time out.... but I've got the opportunity to do a bit of work at an investment management firm in the finance industry and the hours are good (my uncle works in finance so he said he can secure internship positions); do you suggest I switch, purely for the work-life balance? From your wisdom, how important would you say free time is during working life?

    There is plenty to live for, setting and reaching a goal, family, I could make a list a mile long.

    You need to find the wind in your sail, what motivates you and tackle that aspect of life one prioritized goal at a time.

    Whats got you down?, PM me if you need to

    The problem is that you don't appreciate the simple things in life. For example, every day is a joy - during work days I still make sure to prepare fantastic meals for myself using simple appliances - that is one of the "challenges" I set for myself that gives me pleasure. I also work with an amazing group of people, so work itself is quite satisfying.

    Once I am home, I chill with the wife for a bit and then we either go to the gym together or I head to the nearby natural park for some archery practice. Being in the great outdoors is an extreme source of happiness.

    Dinner with a glass of red wine and a little TV ends the day - I watch a lot of fantasy series (example: Robin Hood, Merlin, Camelot, Game of Thrones, etc). It is very important not to constantly watch stuff that emphasizes the negative side of humanity (it is fine in small doses). We as a society have lost touch with the heroic spirit, if you notice ancient stories were all about overcoming obstacles, about humans satisfying their true potential - the reason was that those stories were meant to inspire and send you to bed happy and ready to meet the challenges of the next day.

    If on the other hand you bombard yourself with the fearmongerers and negative nancies on your local cable channel, you will obviously be depressed and lead a pathetic life.

    “If you want to be happy, be.” - Tolstoy

    Then why is it getting worse? The older I get the less free time I have. More stress, more responsibilities, more work.
