There is no magical mommy in the sky who will do your self-care for you, you are responsible for your mind, your body, and your spirit, period.
When you are of an age where you need to self-sustain... there are a number of options open for you... the reality is you have to eat.
A. You can follow in your ancestors' footsteps and forage for food in the forest, depending on the climate and your abilities that may be a good option.... lots of work but working in the fresh air is rewarding.
B. You can come up with an idea for which you can collect money from individuals or companies - find a need for a product or a service and work to create a working company with your skills or abilities. In this case, you have to do all of your own marketing and spread the word about your awesome product or service. This way other people give you money and you can exchange that money for food. This is something we cannot change because the whole society is based on this premise so if you don't like it, back to option A.
C. You can mooch off your parents and use their hard work to continue to feed and clothe yourself like the mistletoe does to its host.
D. You can utilize someone else's marketing and sales team to sell some other product that you did not create yourself - this way you become part of a team or work as a cog in a larger enterprise - again they do the hard work of disseminating the info about their product or service to people or businesses, they get money for the product or service and because you are one of their cogs you receive a percentage of this money. How large a percentage depends on your abilities of negotiation and positioning yourself in the employees market.
When reaching out to someone who might be willing to install you as a cog in their larger machine since you are unwilling or unable to create your own, you have to convince that entrepreneur or enterprise that you will fit in their machine, that when they install you, you will not clog up the machine with useless nonsense.
So two things here - you have to convince them that you fit in their machine and then you actually have to fit in a way that makes the machine work well, hopefully better than it worked without you.
E. If you are lucky enough to be born in a family that is wealthy enough that money self perpetuates and you do not have to suck the life out of anyone else working hard to eek a living in order to freely eat and sustain yourself, that is when it would be wonderful if you set out to make the world a better place with your own unique skills and talents, in this case you still have to do all of your own marketing or share some of your money with people who would do marketing for you.
There are no other options, no one will give you bread for nothing.... well actually they will, it's called a soup kitchen, as long as you are sober you can get some soup.
This video, so much drivel, makes it sound like the people running their businesses owe you a job... like there should be a mommy or a teacher assigning homework to you in exchange for food and where you may or may not have to submit your homework and magically you will still get fed. This is not so!
It is up to you which option above you choose... E. chooses you but the others are there for the taking. If you want food then you have to choose one of the above options, if you choose for someone else to do the marketing for product or service for you and to do some tasks for them in exchange for some money you still have the responsibility to convince them that you are the right choice, with whatever means available. Why would you whine like a little child because you have to market and sell yourself? if you are not into marketing a service or a product on a daily basis, market yourself once, get someone to give you money twice a month and be happy with your choice. It is always a choice. There has never been a magical fairy with a silver tray distributing food.
