    This legit made me cry - somehow you spoke to all the fears and doubts that have held me back the last decade. I write for other people's blogs for a living and have desperately wanted to start my own blog for so long. I have the domain, I've started a travel blog for my partner and I which is doing well, so I know how to do it - BUT every time I feel drawn to create my personal blog I feel like nobody would want to read about me. What would I write? What will people think? Will I look stupid? This video spoke directly to those thoughts and gave me the motivation to just bloody do it Thank you for this inspiration/motivation/butt-kicking!

    I started a blog a few months ago and I can already feel so many benefits from it!
    It has 1) made me more confident in my writing skills and made my childhood dream of becoming a published fiction author more plausible, 2) made the idea of starting a YT channel less scary, 3) improved my typing speed, 4) clarified my thought process and 5) made me aware of how many things I have to share with the world - and by extension it has showed me how wonderful of a life I'm actually living that I get to do these things.
    And all of this is just on top of the skills I've learned about webdesign, coding, etc. Which I'm sure will come in handy regardless of what I might end up doing in the long-term future.

    This is exactly how I felt, I thought no one would care about my thoughts and I was scared I wasn't original enough. I shared my journal anyways on Instagram and it made me realize that people don't care if you're not sharing a brand new message they never heard about, people like that you're relatable. All of Austin Kleon's books was so powerful, they really opened my eye to being proud of being creative

      SO TRUE! I think that's what stops most people: fear of being unoriginal. But every great artist 'steals' from others to a certain extent. We're all a product of our times, and because we all are currently alive, we are all influenced by the same stuff, so our messages may be similar, but what matters to people, what makes them interested in you, is how relatable you are - so so true.

    Man I’m so grateful for your channel and this video, specifically. There are many points that I relate to and you mentioning them make me feel better about myself.
    I keep thinking I’m a failure and lazy and that my life will turn out badly because of the doubts I have. Of course, doubt leads to inaction which can lead to a bad life, but I thought just having those doubts was instant death for my dreams of having a good life.
    You saying that there was a four or five year period that you didn’t have the confidence to write and that after that you finally found that confidence gives me the strength to try writing professionally again.
    You’re like a therapist who doesn’t know it all, but is just an older version of me. Thank you so much.
    Also, you’ve helped me understand that social media isn’t an evil people use to gain fame and distract themselves from real life. It is a part of real life and is a tool that allows us to express who we are, whether that be someone trying to help others, advertise their craft, or just nourish vanity.

    The fear discussion applies to every creative thing to show your work ( drawings, videos, photos, books) til someone told me just do it. There also the little voice that says your work is not as good as someone else’s work. Stop comparing your work to others Helped me tremendously. Everyone has a unique style and talent. Love your videos they are inspiring!

      People turning millionaires overnight isn't just fantasy or surreal. It actually occurs,
      I have this one colleague at work who used his profits in the market to cop himself a brand new RV,
      not like I've ever doubted the lucrativeness in the markets, I know how enormous anybody can profit from it.

      Many find trading to be intricate and complex ,perhaps it's because they don't bother attaining any basic fundamentals on how it operates or they just lack strategies but that's not me 😂 ,I rather leveraged and fervently implored help from an expert trader and for all I know is patently the only reason I get to earn so much from my investments.Learning how to trade was never an option to me since I'm quite very old so my main goal was always how I can earn consistently, I invest with Noud Mikan a FINRA registered trader and his expertise, ingeniousness and experience are the currently the reason I'll keep earning. The amount of flexibility I've recorded in my portfolio and wallet are very good reasons I'll continue banking with a pro and moreover letting someone with better experience and has expertise on that field place my trades was never a bad idea, he practically has been doing it for about 2yrs - 3yrs and his firm has the resources for him to trade my money with confidence, I was reaffirmed and determined to invest with him. I'm always very glad I did because currently earning $1k - $2k daily or $5k - $6k weekly has created a more comfortable, congenial and adaptable lifestyle for me, I am very close to buying myself a house in Alberta Canada all from my profits in the market. Noud is a very credible trader and his platform single-handedly changed my financial status
