Okay so before I start creating content for this channel, I like to address a
question I've been getting a lot from family friends and just people I know.
The question is why am I doing this? In other words, what I think they're asking
is why am I creating embarrassing videos of myself and posting them on the
internet for everyone to see? Well let me begin by saying that that's a fantastic
question because even I have to constantly remind myself why I am doing this,
especially when I get roasted by my friends for my videos. Trust me when I make a
video, post it, and watch it, it makes me cringe and the fact that I've put it on the
internet for everyone I see is pretty embarrassing, but here's why I don't care.
Number one: I've learned that life's too short to care about what others think.
Yeah I know that's a little cliche, but I used to be so worried about other's
opinions of me to the point that I really limited myself. The truth is, who
gives a shit about what others think. Don't let a fear being judged just
because you're different hold you back from the things you want to do.
Number Two: Helping others is what I love to do and I feel that this is a way for me to
reach a large audience which will allow me to help the most amount of people I can.
Whether it's educating someone, introducing a new perspective, or just
putting a smile on their face, I realized that making videos can help me do
exactly that. The way I look at it is how back in school, the teachers used
to tell us to ask questions because someone else may have that same exact
question. Well I've answered a lot of financial questions for friends and
family and I figured that chances are someone else has that same question, so
why not try to help as many people as I can? Number three: Because this is what I love
to do. I read an article a couple months ago that said 70% of Americans hate
their jobs. After reading that article, I made a promise to myself that I
wouldn't fall into that trap. I told myself that the money and
prestige doesn't matter when you hate what you do. You know that saying that says
"if you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life"? Well it's true.
Look, so many people are unhappy in life because they're scared to be different,
they're scared to take risks, and they're scared that if they decide to do what they
love, they'll be judged and criticized. Trust me,
I've had the same fear until I realized that the only one holding myself back is
me. I've wanted to make videos for years but I was afraid of the embarrassment
and the failure. I've made so many videos that I either took down after a day or I
just never posted at all. Well here's the deal. Everything sucks until you practice.
Think about it. You think professional athletes we're as good as they are now
the first time they competed? You think that famous producers just wake up one
day and decide they want to create a movie without any experience and
producing award-winning film? No, but no one hears about the failures. We only
hear about the successes and unfortunately most people are afraid of
failure. So at this point, I've wandered off the focus of this video but I'd like to
leave you with this. You have one life so don't let a fear of judgment keep you
from doing what you love. If you let others dictate your
life, you'll be filled with regret. So I'm excited to announce that starting
January 1st, I will be posting more cringy and embarrassing videos. As a new
creator, I'm experimenting a lot, so quite a few things will change including the
posting frequency, the topics, and the styles of my videos. As I find my channel,
your feedbacks are incredibly valuable so don't be afraid to speak up.
Alright so long story short, the three reasons listed above or why I purposely
embarrass myself on the Internet. Thank you for watching and I hope that you
join me on this journey!
