.
Episode Summary:
In this episode, I reflect on my recent failure to fulfill a commitment and explore the feelings of guilt and self-doubt. I discuss my past tendency to quit when faced with challenges and the negative self-talk that accompanies my failures. However, I also express a newfound determination to adopt a better approach and commit to consistent podcasting. I share my plans to create content that reflects my interests and projects, as well as my intention to establish a system and time block for podcasting. I emphasize the importance of time and the benefits of consistent creation. The episode concludes with me expressing my desire to share their work generously and the potential benefits it may bring to others.
Key Takeaways:
Failing to fulfill commitments can lead to feelings of guilt and self-doubt, but it is important to adopt a better approach and start again.
Consistent creation and sharing of work can lead to the compounding of skills and the generation of new ideas.
Establishing a system and time block for podcasting can help ensure consistency and make the process more manageable.
Time is a valuable resource, and dedicating time to something demonstrates commitment and seriousness.
Sharing work generously, not because one is the best, but out of kindness and generosity, can have positive effects.
Notable Quotes:
"When you fall, you rise up and you keep going."
"Creating the content in the day doesn't really work. So what I'll do is I'll spend one to 2 hours very early in the morning, like maybe three in the morning or two in the morning, and record and schedule for publishing by 04:00 p.m. that same day."
"If you don't have time for something, if you're not giving your time to something, then you're not really serious about it. Because I feel that time is life."
"I have to be okay with getting the benefit of sharing my work. And I have to be also be generous enough to make good content for my past self."
"Not because I have everything, but because I choose to share."
