I wanted to film this for myself... but it ended up having a TON of value for anyone who wants to create something or put things out in the world. I would love to hear what was the most resonant or valuable to you! I ended up talking about:
- The importance of being proud of yourself & celebrating wins (no matter how big or small)
- The power of committing to a process goal RATHER THAN setting quality / outcome goals
- The worst case scenario: resenting the creation process
- Committing to something often feels heavy... but can paradoxically be quite "freeing!"
- Being pleasantly surprised that viewing my life objectively, from a third party perspective, allowed me to feel joy (in reliving moments), pride, and gratitude.
- Beware optimization / efficiency at all costs. If it comes at the expense of joy - it’s far from worth it.
- Creating is always worthwhile. Especially once you drop things like: success/failure, comparison, and monetization.
