What’s that you may ask?
Kicking what to the curb?
Fear of judgement, that’s what.
If you look around online or even offline in person. People are scared shitless to do anything because they’re scared of being judged by their peers.
And yes. It’s natural. No matter how confident and good you are at something you’re always going to have to work on.
I know too many awesome people who are scared to do anything because they’re scared of what mom or dad or friends and partners are going to think of them.
Fuck it I say.
We’re all gonna die one day and that’s the harsh reality of it. So why are you not pursuing what makes you happy?
Wanna stream yourself getting mad at a video game and make a living off of it? Do it.
How’s about reviewing terrible B rated horror movies with a twist. Do it.
Wanna talk about how passionate you are about growing mushrooms? Come on. There’s a market for all of this and more…
I know a lot of the things I write and share with you are hit and miss. But I show up every single day cause it’s something I love to do. Some of you will never get to meet me and some of you will. That’s just the way this whole internet game works.
I don’t want fame and all of that shit but getting paid to talk about and share thing the things I love, well… That to me has always been the ultimate end goal.
You might need to stir the pot and go against what everyone else is talking about in your circle or market but you can make it valuable, cause it’s your own brand of secret sauce.
People will follow you just because it’s you and your own take on whatever is going on.
You just need to get into the routine of sharing all of the crazy shit you love and the people who dig on it will show up.
You need to think long term. Have fun and look at getting better every day. Even if you do have a few moments where you doubt yourself.
That being said. I’m gonna go shove some hot cross buns into my face hole and go see if I can find anyone else whose having a melt down about Tesla today.
