“If you were 100 failures away from success, how fast would you fail?”

Here’s the thing, I’m aware of how speed is a hype (most times). What truly wins in the end is relentless consistency and discipline.
Both of which I do my best to practice in work and fitness, but man, it’s a tough nut to crack for content creation.

I think it stems from that one time I participated in a competition when I was 11 and cried because 4th place didn’t get trophies.
The problem with 11 yo me was thinking that I had to receive a trophy when I should’ve been indulging in the process.
The problem with me now is being overindulgent with the process and not sharing the journey.

So, I spent a good chunk of my time over the weekend sorting out new content for myself.
Because posting on LI is lowkey making me wanna strangle myself so I had to switch gears.

It’s one of the reasons why I bought the mic a few weeks ago. Still feels weird, but I’ve been putting it to use.
In fact, I’ve been filming and editing footage of myself for a few weekends now but I’m having second thoughts about sharing.
The fear is awfully similar to when I first wondered if I was strong enough to run a marathon, or brave enough to share my art.
The answer to both of those questions are now a yes, and both of those instances have been pivotal moments in my life.
This is how I know that it’s something I need to conquer.

Sharing external links is generally pretty bad for my website’s retention rate, but who cares lol.
I have Kratos whispering in the back of my mind saying: “Are you afraid? That is why you must do it.”

The good news is that I’ve been writing my blogs for over a year now and I’m not as awkward as before.
Writing has become proof that I’m doing the work, and since I’ve become clearer in writing, I’m clearer when I speak too.
Which is making my editing process easier because I don’t have to cut as often as I used to.
It’s beginning to look like a domino effect.
