It took me THREE YEARS to get the courage to upload a video to YouTube. THREE FUCKING YEARS. I wasted years of my life being afraid of making a video and uploading it to YouTube for some really stupid reasons. But I finally did. And because I did, here you are reading this (hopefully). Deep down, I was afraid I wasn’t good enough for YouTube…I was terrified I’d upload something, have someone I know see it, and I’d just embarrass myself and look like an idiot. Or worse, some random internet stranger would give it a DISLIKE! OMG! ANYTHING BUT THAT! It’s totally irrational, but deep down I just didn’t think I was good enough to make YouTube videos and I rationalized it in so many ways - I didn’t have the Lamborghini, the professional camera, the equipment, the content…whatever, I didn’t have it. Then I had a “Fuck it” moment and uploaded a video. Here I am now, 2.5 months later…you’re watching this. That’s crazy that a single video could spark so much of an outreach and inspire people. And that made me realize, if I was too scared to do something, how many OTHER PEOPLE are out there just putting off the things they really should be doing? Something that’ll make a positive impact on people? Ahhh hell nah, that’s not gonna happen. Here’s my thoughts of why we’re afraid to take risks, to put ourselves out there, and why you should just ignore your brain sometimes. Except if you do something stupid. Don’t do anything stupid. But you get the idea. Enjoy! PS. I guess my language was a little heavy in say Fuck and Shit more times than I intended without thinking about it. You guys give a fucking shit about swearing or nah? Comment and let me know if it's too much. I potentially may tone it down, but when I make these spur-of-the-moment, I have to consciously think about filtering myself. Damn.
