Every time I bite off more than I can chew, I'm reminded of one thing:
All I want is to wake up, spill meaningful ideas onto a blank page, go on a long walk, eat well, and see how much my body can handle under some steel plates.
That's it.
Social media is a blessing and a curse. When used correctly, it’s a beautiful thing. But too many people use it as a tool to fuel hate and division 😔
Let’s choose to be better and rise above. Share something positive that’s going on in your life right now 🤩
I’ve reflected on this a lot over the years.
I don’t envy the lifestyle of most creators and entrepreneurs.
Endless meetings, always looking for new ways to make the most money, and managing people rather than sustaining work you enjoy…
Sounds more like a prison than freedom.
If you want to be your best—let alone the best—at something, you've got to work really hard, take risks, put yourself out there, fail a bunch, almost break at times, and keep going.
It's not easy stuff.
Which is precisely why you also need to be kind to yourself along the way.
Pleasure is a false god. It's the most superficial form of happiness, therefore the easiest to obtain and the quickest to go away.
Your problems never go away, you just get better at solving them.
Feeling anger, anxiety, or sadness is normal. Emotions are a healthy, unavoidable part of life.
However, wallowing in your emotions is a choice. Feel your emotions, recognize them, then move on.
You don't need to train your mind to see everything as positive. You need to train your mind to see the positive in everything.
There are 8 billion people in the world.
5 billion of them use the internet.
20 million of them have online businesses.
2 clients at $5k/mo makes you comfortable.
10 clients gives you a solid-sized business.
100 clients gives you a big business.
It's not "saturated."
If you are able to think then you are able to make different choices. If you are able to make different choices, you are able to improve. If you are able to improve, with enough time, you are able to overcome anything.
In case you need a reminder. You are more than enough.
You aren't bored.
You're distracted.
Hopping from social media to the news to video games to junk food to numb your mind from the discomfort that life presents.
Distractions are finite.
Your potential is not.
