I’m apart of the 20%!! And the video was great!! I always worry i wont be good at the thing I am thinking about or people will judge me for it. But then there’s also the realizing of like “Do i judge people for trying to do the thing or not being great at the thing they are trying to do?” And the answer to that is always no, so really I don’t know why I am so scared.
This video meant a lot to me. It feels like I'm faking everything I pursue. Like nothing I chase will ever come to fruition. That feeling seems to grow as I progress towards a goal. Like the more I learn about something, the more I realize I know nothing. I'm once again throwing myself into the deep end of ambition. Hopefully this time I learn to swim.
My biggest struggle as well. I've had no issue with work doing things (even things I may not want to do) but at home I start so many hobbies and interests and either lose interest, realize I cant make it to the (high) standards I want given my resources. for more creative projects I never know where to start and how to keep momentum going after that initial idea / after your first sitting working out an idea or project, then not feeling the desire to come back to it and continue.
I’m part of the 20%, I’m lost in life… I’m not really good at anything or want to get a job as that would not be of any help to make money in the long, there is other reasons but I would take too long to explain here, plus English is not my first language. I want to do something that I like, not fulfill someone else’s dream. Any advice?
I think I found MY IDOL! I learned so much from this video! I’m so new to this form of art and I’m loving every moment of it! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 😊👏👏👏
I know this video was a month ago but I’m apart of that 20%, I have a want to make videos but feel like it would work out better if I wait and am in a constant battle in my head going back and forth. I know it’s something I really wanna try to do and has been for years, I just see all the steps that I need to take to have a chance and it becomes overwhelming to start.
Let me tell you why I love this instead of just giving a vague “This is great” comment. You’re relatable and as humans, we all search for that. It’s nice to see that someone (who has already started what we’ve wanting to for months,years,decades) went through the very same thing we are. That alone is a success. Everyone mountain you climb is going to be scarier than the one before, but we learn to find comfort in being uncomfortable. That’s the key to self development.
Starting my first RU-vid channel and like you said it's exciting but then you realise you want you content to be not just good but also fun, the amount of time that goes into editing learning new things from scratch can be overwhelming but I got to see it through, even if I don't get any likes etc at the very least when I watch it all back I want to feel the excitement and fun that got me and my partner to start it in the first place.
If we are not experiencing it all first hand, there is a window or a middle-man inbetween us and it. Either we are following teachers or scriptures, we are following just another feeling towards the same thing that we are experiencing ourselves right here in this now, in our slightly different but still same imperfect now. When learning any kind of passed down information no matter where on the spectrum of truth it is ranging, we are by doing so un-learning ourselves to put ourselves under & add on someone else's inner stance, which with time are going to make us, our inner being, into more of a copy than an actual self. Life is live, feel, learn and re-remember and the life we live is the teacher itself, where by living it we should be growing into living books of knowledge, if we actually live it for ourselves. We are both the teacher and the student, as we are both the observer and the one who project the whole moving picture that we see infront of us and dive into each new day when we open our eyes and the camera is again for us, rolling. We are all playing a lead-role in a meaningless story called life. Meaningless until we give it our meaning & then we are acting as each others mirrors as well, reflecting all that greatness but also the inner work which we are taught to just brush under the carpet. So really, we should be grateful for all interaction with life as there is a teacher in absolutely everything. When breaking it down, all we truly have is our energy and together with our energy all we truly need in this life is good health, good morals and a fine-tuned instrument, as in us, to express ourselves properly with, in order to free our minds. let the caged bird fly! Follow no one who wishes followers but the one's who encourage you to live your life for you and to walk your own path. Only by doing so we'll truly know who we are and what we are truly here for. We have it all already & we need no middle-men in order to stay connected to ourselves as we are that creators energy...we are it. We are all born out of it and we're given a slightly different perspective to take in the experience with for a reason. So not to fall for false light. Saying that though, we can not escape what we are not first aware of. We are all god's until it finds a way to change the mind. 💜
I was at work looking for something to listen to and put this video of yours on, and I didn't look at the screen the whole time..and yet your words alone were an encouragement. Gonna go watch it through now
I’ve been always holding my self back from trying and pursuing whatever the things I want in my life and I figured that the main reason was is that I was afraid of failure!! But I step back and said to myself you know girl if you never try you will never know!! once you did it and it’s become reality you’ll realize that you were always living inside your head and making things bigger than it actually seems … Always remember that life experiences doesn’t take anything from you it gives you something and you will learn and grow through it ✨✨
the way you create your contents makes me to watch the videos till the end also the things you share always helps as a beginner film maker and content creator
The voice will be like, "It won't work and people are always judging you" but I like it it cares for my feelings, a.k.a being a failure Side note: As I am writing this comment, I have them sitting there chatting.
I made it to the end. The things that keep me from just starting is my anxiety and depression. This alone makes me not want to do anything, let alone something new. Along with the anxiety and depression is my physical condition that makes it hard to move around like I was able to do years ago. This video is right on point with me. I have to just start…
I think the difficulty I face is that I have so many interests, so many things I enjoy and want to learn more about, that I struggle to choose one. The reason I need to choose just one is that I don't have the time to be studying or working on multiple ideas/projects at a time. So, instead of just starting, and doing something, I choose to continue contemplating which thing I should pursue, while pursuing nothing. Thanks for the video, it was meaningful and helpful.
I keep going because i know i offer the world a message that i havent yet curated within myself but that gives me joy when im in the depth of creating and envisioning an idea that gives me chills, evokes emotion out of me or makes me watch it over obsessionally. I hope to connect with others through art and give my family someone to root for. I keep going because of the love of jesus and because life is too precious to not. Just tonight i saw a quote that said "you can either keep going or you can die". We will all eventually reach the die part but until then lets keep going to offer the world something it would be better off with than without.
I am part of the 20%. My biggest fear is the judgment I will receive from others, including my family and friends, for embarking on a different path. I’ve realized this has caused inaction as a means to avoid any friction.
20%- i keep going because i know the world Needs to feel again. i heard a quote by Rick Rubin, “the world is only as free as it allows it’s artists to be” and every year i feel like that quote holds more weight. art/creativity is our humanity and you exemplify that in the way only you can. you inspire in a way only you can and it has a ripple effect, so thank you. i keep going because only i can in the way that i can- to contribute to that “something of value in the future” that we all collectively need/want. hope that makes sense
I cannot tell you how much I really needed someone to tell me this, this is one of the most valuable lessons I have ever learnt, especially at this point in my life. Thank you.
