Don’t doubt that cheering from fans or positive feedback does have a nice or positive effect on you or that it does make you feel good.

Don’t block yourself from feeling that high.

We’re desperate. Anything that would make us feel better is most welcome.

Just don’t let toxicity or hate frustrate or discourage you.

The ugly truth is that in order to crush it on Instagram, it’s IGTV, in order to benefit from LinkedIn, it’s video. The same could be said about Facebook. And for Twitter it’s either follow for follow, or you’re already a person of local, national, or international interest. And TikTok is exclusively short video clips. So frustrating for anyone who’s not good in front of a camera. Not to mention YouTube is also video only. They have no idea that it’s an unfair competition. People who say useless stuff in front of a camera but are hot get super popular in no time because of the people. This is what they want. Do not let that fool you or deter you from following your passion. You’re not taking too long. It’s just what losers with WiFi survive upon. It takes time for greatness to be recognized.

Your mind is skilled at problem solving. You can always come up with hundreds of excuses as to why you shouldn’t do something. Do not fight that battle. Ask the right question.

It’s not about why you shouldn’t do something.

It’s about why not!

You will always gain nothing by exerting effort if your focus is on staying unfatigued or on avoiding getting tired.

Face it. Become as tired as ever. And if it doesn’t feel good please come and tell me.

Your logical perspective on why you should do something almost always includes the consequences of your actions. I’m going to be insanely tired after this is one of the responses that you get at the top of the list of reasons why you shouldn’t pause the damn movie and produce a new amazing or even crappy piece of content. That’s you negotiating. Jump right away. Make it a matter of how to do it, not why you should do it.

If you followed reason, you won’t be so creative. You’ll always be conservative. (Not politically but in terms of productivity and creativity).

I always hate myself immediately after writing. But after a few minutes, the euphoria starts to kick in. And then everything starts to make sense again.

Do it, then question whether or not it was worth it, after you’ve already spent the energy on it.
