I get excited too easily.
That might not sound like a problem, but it’s influenced me in making unwise short term decisions.
I used to say yes to every opportunity just to get more juice out of every squeeze, then later, I’d wonder why I had the strongest urge to cut everything off.
In truth, I never cared about most things.
Not in a cool stoic way either.
More in a very irrational sense.
I don’t care about changing my mind in seconds, burning money for nothing, turning down work I just agreed to, and NOW I don’t care about showing/leading with my disagreeable nature.
There was a time I could play the game, but what kinda game is that?
Authenticity erases competition, so really– theres only one game, being you. Learning this has changed everything for how I choose to play and with who.
Our work shapes us.
You can hate it all you want, but that’s how it is. And mine has definitely shaped me– I’m very lucky. It’s brought out more of me to the surface, and yes, this is from me learning and developing myself too, but I’ve become WAY MORE OF WHAT I AM.
With that, I started taking on client work.
Realizing I want to explore and develop myself, I thought side hustling would produce nice cash flow and potentially my own agency. But through the client work I realized something else…
… No.
I don’t like it. And not only do I NEVER try to make it work, I divorce immediately.
What has turning down clients taught me?
Sometimes what you really love is just the idea, not the actual desire and that’s okay– but then don’t hold onto it knowing that.
I want to enjoy my life, every second.
I won’t work with individuals unlike me, and I mean that in the big picture sense. If you get hung up on details, fight with store employees, or waste your time yelling at someone to “make things right”— I never want anything to do with you.
That shit is disgusting to me.
And you do you, but in my life I’m ruthless with what I allow.
You should be too.
Lead your own life, #FOOLFWD
