    If there were one video, 100 years from now, to be played for the future to show what that ancient thing called UA-cam was all about, it'd be the one by some random guy in Tennessee with 337 subscribers. So many bleeding hearts have poured onto this website, just waiting to be seen, that will never reach the surface of popularity. It was never about the numbers, it's about saying, "I was here, look at what I did." Thanks brother

    We have so much time ahead of us- but it's limited. Don't spend so much time worrying about if one decision is the right decision; instead, worry about what comes next. You can make mistakes, you can fail, and that's okay! That is how we learn. No matter what stage you are in life, no matter the tools you have available, or the time you have free- you can always create something. It will not be perfect, that word has no meaning here, but if you make something today that wasn't here yesterday, that is progress. A step in any direction is a step at all. Keep moving.

      in this chapter of my life, i'm slowly learning that Jesus is really the only thing that will always be there to hear me out.

    Hey Carlin, lovely video. I don’t understand what you mean by the last quote if you are also saying that what you create matters. Don’t you agree that what you put in this world is an extension of yourself? I’m not saying that we should hold back but that we should be mindful. What do you think?

    • @carlin.mp3
      @carlin.mp3  Місяць тому

      i'm so glad you pointed this out.
      i put "you are not what you create" at the end of almost every one of my videos.
      i think what you create is so intrinsically valuable, as i spoke of in the video, BUT (as the ending quote reminds) it is not who you are nor does it define you. it is a beautiful, necessary, wondrous extension of yourself, BUT it does not make up or dictate who you are.
      does that clear things up a bit?
