Nobody can buy a home these days.
The rich keep getting richer and the poor poorer.
World War Three is buffering on the horizon
while the ice caps are melting
and everyone you ask tells you
how they just want to get through this week
because they're holding on by a thread.
But life is actually much
better than we perceive it to be.
And by the end of this video,
you'll actually look forward to life.
You want to take our challenge?
Here are 15
things that make life
worth living.
First up, passionate sex.
All right, there goes our advertising revenue.
But the point is valid. Okay?
If you know, you know a great session
will make you reevaluate life.
You'd think there's no better feeling
in the world.
And the fact that you can get to do this
again is more than enough
to keep you going.
The chase, the build up,
the activity itself,
the connection you're having
with your other person becoming one
priceless.
Some of you lost this.
Some of you got caught up on the treadmill of life.
Some of you never even
went out looking for it.
But it's out there.
Some of you got lost in the digital world
and almost got the too confused adult
content doesn't even come close.
A wise man once said, It's
hard to be sad about life
when you're getting laid.
Your partner
finding your
person is a wild ride, and everyone who's found
them will tell you how amazing
that journey is.
Once you do it,
you get to wake up every morning next to them.
You get to cook together
to be silly together to try new things together.
They make your life better
and give your life meaning.
It's true what they say, that
you only appreciate someone
after you lose them.
So don't lose them.
Don't take them for granted.
You got your partner
by being at your best, by being attentive,
by displaying love and attraction.
You stay with them
by continuing to do the same things.
Yet most people forget that.
It's like you played a role.
You put up a facade and set a trap for them.
And once you captured them,
you no longer cared.
They see that.
They feel that
and they probably respond the same way.
And you both lose
a great partner.
Walks hand-in-hand with you
toward your common destination.
A great partner
takes the darkest day
and makes it bearable.
A great partner
makes any room, a home.
So find a great partner
and be one as well.
The probability that tomorrow
will be better than today.
Life has its ups and downs.
That's just how it goes.
The interesting thing about talking to old people
is they all say they had a great life,
a life that somehow
sorted itself out,
that although not everything went according
to plan, in the end,
things were okay.
So do that.
Just keep going and watch your life
unfold for you.
Life might seem chaotic right now,
but just like a video game, the more you go through
life, the better you get at playing the game.
You start to recognize the music.
You learn that every night, eventually
turns into a day.
Hence, inevitably,
there will be great times ahead that you'll
definitely treasure for the rest of your life.
So don't miss out on those
curiosity.
What will happen next?
Have you ever taken a moment to think about
just how unpredictable life is?
Ten years from now, your life could be
completely different.
Some of you will be in
other countries doing something
completely different than you are right
now, surrounded by people
you've yet to meet. but?
Who will become your closest friends?
Life in and of itself
is a spectacle.
Sure, traditional
media likes to make it seem like everything
everywhere is constantly on fire.
So they can keep old people glued to their TVs.
But if you tune them out and just go for a walk,
life is pretty fun.
Life is abundant
with potential and mystery.
Life is a big adventure
if you choose it to be.
So be curious
and take chances a lot easier.
What would happen
if you quit your job?
What would happen if you hopped on a plane
and just left?
What would happen if you did that thing
you've been thinking of doing for the last year?
Who knows?
But we are eager to see where it leads to.
As long as you keep going,
you can always adjust course.
Seeing what you can become.
What if you gave it a go?
What if you like, really did it?
Okay.
What if you took,
let's say, one year
out of the 85, you're probably going to live
and really, really went for it.
You'd get strong,
healthy, you'd build routines,
you'd become good at something.
It would open up doors for you
that you didn't even know were there.
You would grow.
Evolve.
Change.
What if you went away
and you came back and you were simply better?
The world will be in shock
witnessing your transformation.
You would have figured yourself out.
You would have found purpose.
You could finally take care
of yourself and those you care about.
How awesome would that be?
And the more you think about it.
It's 6 to 12 months
to see what that would be like.
6 to 12 months of being uncomfortable,
but more than enough to see growth
and see how it would benefit you,
the person you would become would look back
on the person you are right now
as the pre évolue session form.
You'd get measurably better
across all 5 alux
pillars of life,
finances, health,
intellect, relationships
and emotions.
6 to 12 months
doesn't sound like very much.
Yet people don't do it because they don't know
where to start or how to go about it.
So we made it easy for you.
We built something
that allows you to do just that, to evolve
and an easy to follow and effective way.
We paid international
experts to break down
the full transformation of the individual
into actionable 15
minute daily pieces.
After spending over
$1 million of our own money
building it for ourselves,
it would be a shame to gatekeeping it.
It's called the Alux app
and it's available at alux.com/app You sign up
and you get value immediately.
There's a free trial to test it out for yourself,
and our users swear
it's changed their lives and we expect it'll do
the very same for you.
You're getting
$1,000,000 worth of value
for 99 bucks,
so spend it and see what happens to you
before the end of the year.
All right.
So back to our list of things
that make life worth living.
Pets, although we think dogs
are the absolute best, you know,
we don't discriminate
the amount of love, affection and emotional
support you receive from your pet
is extraordinary.
People will go John Wick for their pet
because the real ones know
that they're a part of the family.
Pets have a simpler way of looking at life
that makes them happy are compared to us humans.
We choose to
enslave ourselves and cages of our own design
based on expectations others have set for us.
Meanwhile, your dog sees you
and they're happy.
A cat jumps up onto your lap
and feels safe.
They're happy enough with you
just being present.
People who have pets tend to have lower blood
pressure, heart rate and heart
disease risks than those who don't.
Having a pet
not only makes you happier,
but now you've got something
that you're responsible for
that's within your ability to care for.
And that adds
special meaning to your life.
Real friendships, man.
How amazing is it to hit it with your boys?
How amazing is it to get together
with your girlfriends and just put the mask away
and be yourself?
We know there aren't many people that you'd
call real friends
out there, and that's okay.
That's actually the point of it all.
That's what makes it real.
Some of the happiest moments
you'll look back on in your life were nights
spent with your friends
just having fun.
Those moments will stick with you forever.
The ones where you laugh
so hard, your face hurts
and your eyes tear up.
One of our personal
big goals in life
is the following.
Step one Find great people.
Step two Do life with them.
Content,
Books, music, movies, videos.
How great is it when you find a new song
that just tickles
your heartstrings?
How mesmerizing
is it to get sucked into a book
that you totally lost track of time?
The feeling of watching a movie in a cinema,
of driving a convertible with your favorite tunes,
playing
of finding a new creator that you've never heard
of before, but immediately
fall in love with them and wish you were friends.
We live in the peak of the content age.
There is something for everyone
widely available and ranked based on
what others, just like you found interesting.
You're beyond rich
in this buffet of content.
A great book
can change your life.
Same with music
as the testimonials show.
Last night, a DJ saved my life with a song.
You're one film away
from inspiring a new destiny for yourself.
Some of these people
spent their entire lives
crafting these pieces of work
blood, sweat,
tears and heavenly doses of talent
all at your fingertips.
Use it wisely.
Discovering a
rabbit hole to fall into.
How fun is set to discover
a rabbit hole and just let yourself go.
For some people, it's ancient aliens.
For others, it's history.
Fishing, learning about cults,
leaders, religions,
crypto, unsolved
deaths and true crime,
MicroNation is the Roman Empire.
Life in the universe.
Physics. Crime. Families.
CIA programs.
Look, pick any Joe Rogan guest
and just go from there.
You'll find incredible experiences
whenever you go beyond
the surface of anything.
Something you never thought
you would care about in your twenties.
Like birdwatching.
Suddenly creeps up on you
in your late thirties.
Find the one thing
that feels like play to you
and then find others
to play with.
Art and beauty.
There's so much beauty
in this world that you're not aware of.
Once you find those little pieces
of heaven on earth, you're so hooked.
You won't stop until you find some more.
Places of natural beauty,
the beauty in people and how things seem
to fall into place of manmade art.
Though heavenly, inspired
the fact that seeing
a beautiful woman walk by you can make your day
is fascinating to us.
Connecting emotionally with a piece of art
makes you realize why
billionaires pay millions for paintings.
There is intrinsic value there, something
that you just can't touch,
but you can feel.
This makes great
art extremely valuable, especially since you don't
get to create new old art, which makes the few
existing pieces even more valuable in time.
Which is why it makes headlines when a blue chip
art collection goes to auction.
Some of the richest families in the world
are sitting on treasures that haven't been seen
in public for centuries.
It's a billionaire's secret weapon
when it comes to building wealth.
For instance, look at Basquiat's market
versus other traditional investments.
But the good news is, thanks to one innovative
company called Masterworks AECOM,
it's not just the billionaires
that can capitalize anymore.
Tens of thousands of everyday investors
have already seen positive
returns from their art investment.
All thanks to our sponsors
at Masterworks AECOM.
How Well Masterworks Is
Team of art historians
and financial analysts
crunched a decade's worth of auction data.
They've acquired over 300 paintings
from legendary artists
like Picasso, Monet and Banksy,
and how you can unlock
their potential straight from your smartphone.
So far, Masterworks has generated
over $45 million in net returns
and counting to investors like you.
16 exits so far,
and each of them have shown price appreciation.
No wonder over 870,000 people
have joined the platform so far.
Some offerings have been so popular
they've sold out within hours.

serving others.
You won't get it until you do it,
but once you feel it,
your life unlocks.
Especially for people who don't know what to do
with their lives and are lacking purpose.
Once you're able to take care of yourself,
take care of others, our life
and purpose expands
with our degree of responsibility.
So the more people that we are responsible for,
the more purpose we feel.
Right now, you're responsible
for just yourself.
And that's okay.
The first step
is fixing yourself.
Sometimes you get there
by fixing others.
Taking nature. And.
Picture this.
You lived your entire life on Mars.
And for your honeymoon, you came to earth to feel
what it's like to swim in the ocean.
That feeling alone would be worth however
many Bitcoin or moon dollars
you had to spend to get there.
Walking through a jungle and hearing the animals
move your feet,
rubbing in the sand.
Snow falling
gently from the sky.
Climbing a mountain and getting to
see the view from the top.
The color of the leaves.
Especially in this time of year.
You're watching this.
Just how freakin amazing
nature is.
The more time passes
the more we get addicted to nature.
It's just something
you don't ever get used to.
And keeping up with the same sentiments.
When you finally learn
to find happiness
in the little things.
Here's something we learned relatively recently,
which we can't believe we hadn't
consciously done sooner.
Be purposeful and acknowledge
what is happening as a means of being present
and living more in the moment.
It's really easy to have coffee
and not realize
that you just had coffee.
The experience shifts if you just give it
a couple of seconds of attention
where your focus goes from
whatever you're doing to,
Hey, I'm having coffee right now.
Let's see how it tastes
in my mouth and how my body feels.
It's a very distinct
and different experience to do it this way.
Just like some people
take a shower while others feel the warm
water running across their whole body,
you only notice
how the sun feels on your skin.
If you make it a priority
to notice it.
And this is one of those big life secrets.
The happiest people out there are those
who are where their feet are
with both their body
and their mind.
That's how you learn to find happiness
in the little things.
Children.
Now, here's our
rather unusual perspective on kids.
And this comes from our CEO who had a baby boy
last year, a couple of years ago.
If you were to ask us about our life,
we would have told you that we lived a great one.
If we were to die tomorrow,
we would be pleased with how we lived.
Sure,
there are things we would want to do
or accomplish in the future,
but if we didn't get the chance to do them,
we were proud and happy with the life we lived
and we would be at peace with a sudden death.
Then he had a son.
Now that this new being was brought into the world
and every day keeps growing and exploring,
well, that previous statement
is no longer viable because going away
would mean missing out on so much.
And in that second,
you realize your life's
meaning has shifted.
You are responsible for getting this child
to a point where they can navigate
the world on their own.
More poetically, you're trapped into existence.
You now have a responsibility
to never let anything happen to you,
because that would collateralize them
every morning when you open your eyes
and see your child
smile and thank the universe
that you get to experience this life.
We're not sure if this happens to everyone,
but it did happen for us.
Children give you purpose,
at least for the first two decades.
Which leads us to our final point Finding your thing.
This piece is about things that make life
worth living, and one should never go away
before finding their thing.
The thing that is something
we all run toward
whenever we're not getting closer to it.
We feel icky inside.
We feel sick or ill or stuck.
We all have a thing, but very few of us
know what that thing is until we get it.
Finding your thing
is the same as finding
your purpose, answering the
why you are alive question.
The thing is like an internal compass
we all carry.
It lets you know when you're on the right path.
So take this opportunity
right now and check yours.
Are you on the right
path in life?
What's driving you forward?
What's making your life
worth living right now?
Let us know in the comments and as a thank you
for sticking around until the very end.
Here is your bonus, my friend.
Depression
is not what you think it is.
You might be going through something right now.
We all do. At some point.
We don't know you and what you're feeling.
But we do know that these temporary experiences
are not defining for you.
This is not what
the rest of your life will be like.
Your body feels these
chemicals running through it
because something isn't right.
Even the word
depressed signals that you need
deep rest.
You've been living as this character
in this artificial play
that doesn't feel right to you.
And your body knows
pretending isn't good for you anymore.
That is what it's signaling.
You need to take a break and a rest from this facade
you've been putting on and find out
who you are.
You are more important
than you perceive yourself to be.
You're not alone.
Even if you feel lonely,
your presence is important and felt.
Even if you don't feel it.
And if you're not going to live for yourself,
live for others,
serve others.
As we mentioned earlier, and in this process,
you'll figure out how to serve yourself.
Ten years from now, you'll look back on today
as those dark years.
But you'll be so glad
that you stuck around.
Everything on
this list is your menu for figuring out
who you want to be once
you stop pretending.
Give it a go and see what happens.
And look, if you're feeling really down,
go to find a helpline dot com and have a chat
with someone right now as you ride out this feeling.
Since you're not the kind to quit this easily,
set up an appointment with a doctor,
a counselor, or a psychiatrist.
More recent studies show
that feeling deep blue might be caused
by an iron deficiency so
even a medic could help.
We want to see you again next Sunday.
And the Sunday after that.
Although we've never personally met,
you took the time to hang out with us today
and we enjoyed that.
So please, let's do it again.
If you're up for it,
write the word again in the comments.
We'll see you back here next Sunday.
