"Instead of hoping you're doing the right thing, make it the right thing." Uufff im gonna be living by this now!
I had to teach myself that finishing something 80% of the way is the closest it'll ever be to perfection. The extra 20% is wasted time that would be better spent on starting something new. Just make it and move on - it's not the last time you'll create.
âI found myself comparing my âday 1â to someone elseâs âday 1000ââ. Dude. That is me.
The one in my head always is âYou donât know enough to be putting out content and who are you to inspire anyone?â Drives me crazy.
Some quote just popped into my head that seems fitting: "What if I fall?" - "Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?"
Three lessons Iâve learned from you: - Itâs okay to go slow - It might not work - just do it.
As someone thatâs halfway through several projects and constantly second guessing every decision, I really needed to hear this.
Talking about second-guessing every decision hit home for me. Sublime's helped me sort through that mental clutter.
Iâm part of the 20%! I really feel like comparing my day one to someone elseâs day 2000 is my biggest weakness. Like logically I know that I will have to suck at making art and videos to get good at making art and videos but then I try something and Iâm like âoh youâre not already good at this? Youâre not picking it up fast?â And then itâs âwell itâs not worth it then because youâll never be good and you will never support yourself and succeed if youâre not goodâ. Or the good old âitâs too late for you to pursue thisâ and trying to make out like Iâm too old to succeed at things at THE RIPE OLD AGE OF 26 which is absolutely ridiculous
I purchased my first camera in 2022 with plans of filming more and getting back on YoutubeâŚwith many rabbit holes and LOADS of expensive additions to my camera setupâŚI have yet to put something out due to overthinking and doubting if what I am making is even good. This video, along with the 20% that commented made me realize that Iâm not alone & I am motivated to put something out! Thank you!!
Hi 20%-er here! What I have come to enjoy in other creators is their candid EMOTIONAL honesty about the journey. Their journey. Their process. The imposter syndrome. I think it is so important to have other creators be your mirror and remind you of the nuance you bring to the table! That is the support we all need as creatives. So, I appreciate videos like this where it creates conversation and a safe space to just brain dump individual perspectives. Keep it up!

Whenever I want to start something new, I get scared of wasting my time and not achieving my goals.
20% | This is the first time I've heard someone else say what i've been feeling, "i already knew how to make videos but every time i clicked record it felt like i didn't know what i was doing." I have felt like that for so long. I can edit a video for clients, friends, family but when I want to do it for myself I never know where to start. I've been wanting to pursue youtube as well. I want be an Adventure Filmmaker but sometimes it feels so silly and unattainable. It's like you know what you want to say and share but then you feel like you know nothing. This video is so important. Thank you for putting it out there.
âYou can do hard things. Uncertainty is the nature of life, self-trust is the antidote.â
"How do I start?" and "Where doI start" are the questions I ask myself the most. I definitely tend to overthink, and end up doing absolutely nothing. I forget that I need to try
â There was something so surprising about realizing how far I had come, simply by showing up everydayâ. Wise Words.
this whole video has such high quality production it's like a short movie
sometimes the hardest thing to push through for me is âsomeone else can do it better than you already, why even try?â , but then i try to just ignore that and still do the thing for the joy of the process (for example just playing guitar for the joy of simple sounds and harmonies and not aiming to be faster than others)
