Above all, you need to know yourself.
When it comes to this topic, there are two types of online creators. There are the successful entrepreneurial people who say, “phuck your past, don’t identify with failed behaviors.”
Then there are the people who speak to psychology and human behavior who take the side of, “your past reveals who you are.”
Both these approaches have their place, but the way I go about it is a combination.
It’s hard for me not to fall for my weaknesses. I know the movie my mind plays isn’t real, but that doesn’t stop it from playing and it doesn’t discourage me from watching… I always enjoyed fiction more than anything.
Does your movie change?
Because my movie remains constant, but I’m right to question whether or not it’s for me and It’s the same for you.
One thing is for certain. Dreams change. Goals change.
If my past shows anything, it’s that I can be a storm. Because of that, I know my income MUST be independent from a job or career. This isn’t an option for me.
Instability is my constant.
This is where it’s important for you, knowing yourself. I’m creating an insurance policy because of my storms and allowing myself to live good despite them.
That’s the point of online content, and you can find ways to make it easier for you to stick.
No one is hopeless.
We’re not taught alternative paths. That’s all it is.
They teach you to take the 9-to-5 and settle down, that cookie cutter lifestyle doesn’t fit most people and today, it doesn’t have to. You can’t stop the storms. I’ve tried everything for that… but you can decide what you’ll do during them.
Your best bet is to let them pass. I choose to rain dance, rather than cry.
You know what you’re like. Build your life for you to win, regardless of your struggle, that’s something we all need to do.
I choose to get ahead, not by not having my disadvantages or pretending I’m not who I am– but by seeing obstacles for what they are, obstacles. Life is chock-full. Everything, absolutely everything is solvable.
Don’t ever give up on yourself, carve your own path.
