The art of finding focus

Dear Diary, most of us entered the field of youtube because of our favourite creators. But what I’ve come to realize is the trap of getting stuck inside this bubble. You see all these product reviews, tutorials and how to guides as your biggest inspirations. The imitation game in full effect.
But what happens is that we’ve created a youtube that feels generic, all uninspiring and bland. Trough stealing as creators, we so beautifly craft the same gray matter everyone else is pumping into our online landscape. After all, it’s easier to create when you have the template of success in front of your screens.
Stepping out of the boundaries of what I thought possible. Focus with UA-cam, focus with what work to create. What to others might have looked like chaos, is actually the feeling of pieces falling together. To keep me accountable and resist the temptations of new projects, I’ve been playing with this countdown widget on my phone. It’s a hard reality but it’s always staring right back at me when I get distracted…
Now it might sound fluffy but that to me is what sounds like focus. As you navigate your own UA-cam path, I implore you to delve deep within and uncover that one thing that sets your heart ablaze. Focus is not about limiting yourself; it's about channeling your energy into what truly moves you. It's about crafting videos that become a reflection of your core principles, passions, and interests. Let your content be a testament to the possibilities that lie within you.

Thank you for all of the hard work that you put into these philosophical pieces, they are very inspiring and well worth watching on repeat.

[@tomsodyssey]

Thanks Roger! It's funny how these pieces feel so much easier to make because they align so well with my thoughts ☺️ I'm taking a holiday break now, but I have some new ones lined up later this summer 🙋🏻‍♂️

Truly an Imitation game!!!
I mean apart from the bigshots now there really isnt something new on YT
Its now so easy to get your first mill that its mind blowing

[@tomsodyssey]

💯 its so crazy how the algorithm works, when it works for you 🥲 I guess the question is, are people willing to watch something new as well? Because if they do the algorithm will eventually shift in that favor as well 🙃

[@AidanBelizaire]

Fantastic video mate. Solid message, beautifully presented. Really made me think about my current situation and where I’m headed. Great evaluation. Thanks dude 🙏🏼

[@JustWojtek]

Is it just me or is there sort of a shift happening on your channel?

[@tomsodyssey]

Haha, is it a good or bad shift happening? 🙃

[@JustWojtek]

@@tomsodyssey it's feels explorative, as does life. Not sure wether good or bad apply as sufficient attributes here.
