Carl Jung famously said that life really begins at 40. What if everything you thought about midlife was wrong?

For years, society has told us that turning 40 is the beginning of decline—an age marked by fading dreams, lost youth, and inevitable regret. But what if midlife isn’t the beginning of the end… but the moment life truly begins?

Carl Jung, one of the greatest minds in psychology, believed that our first 40 years are spent building a version of ourselves that fits the world—chasing success, approval, and security. But after 40, we are called to something deeper: the journey toward wholeness.

"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." — Carl Jung

This is the 'Advice to My Younger Self' letter I wish I had read sooner when I was younger—a message from my older self, shaped by the wisdom of six brilliant minds who understood what really matters.

In this video, I bring together the life-changing insights of:
📖 Carl Jung – Why midlife forces us to confront the shadow self and find authenticity.
📖 Abraham Maslow – Why success isn’t about what you achieve, but who you become.
📖 Viktor Frankl – Why happiness is not something you chase but something you create through meaning.
📖 Søren Kierkegaard – Why fear isn’t a sign to stop—it’s a sign to leap.
📖 Carl Rogers – Why the greatest regret is living a life that isn’t truly yours.
📖 Alfred Adler – Why the story you tell yourself determines your future.

This isn’t just a reflection—it’s an awakening.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, restless, or like something is missing, this video will challenge everything you thought you knew about life, purpose, and fulfillment.
