Sometimes it's the hardest thing to do.basically when we grow up we get too busy or occupied in responsibilities, career, money, figuring out purpose, yada yada basically adulting, and we forget to be young, dumb & curious like we were before when we were kids.to enjoy your life to the fullest, to do something great & meaningful, you need to go easy on yourself & just let it be.you can’t be stressed state of mind & think of a great idea or a solutionyou can’t be worried & enjoy lifebeing always young is a mindset, and there are really good examples in this world which I want to bring on the podcasts as guests to share their mindset, wisdom, journeys, experiences, hacks to being young, etc so that others can learn & get inspired.Help us blow this up Instagram: / alwaysyoungshowYouTube - / alwaysyoungshowTwitter/X - https://www.x.com/alwaysyoungshowFor Business Enquires: alwaysyoungshow@gmail.com
