One thing I didn’t do because I was afraid of spending the money was hiring other music producers to help me produce a song with my vocals. I was worried it wouldn’t sound great, or that I wouldn’t make the money back. I realize that these are kind of silly reasons. If I don’t like one producer’s work, I can always try another producer, or look at their reviews first. And also, it doesn’t haveread more
When I think of ambitious people, my first impression is that they’re hard workers, highly intelligent, highly motivated, full of energy, and love their life. These are all positive traits for the most part. But when I compare myself, I feel like I don’t fit these traits. I don’t work hard. I just do what I feel like for the most part. I don’t consider myself that intelligent. I guess I’m “above average”, but Iread more
Three things that I worry about that I have no control over: 1) Hearing a voice and not being able to get rid of it on my own or through medication2) My appearance (acne, weight gain from meds, hairiness)3) Decisions I’ve made in the past One thing I’ve been worrying about lately has been dealing with the voice I hear and how I’m going to live the rest of my life with it if itread more
One person in my life who seems to be good at everything is Steve Pavlina. 😀 Once he commits to something, he succeeds. If he wants to learn something, he will look at it from every angle and learn it well. He approaches new things with curiosity. I used to approach new things with curiosity, but nowadays, I get impatient. I want to see results fast. So instead of enjoying the process, I’m too focusedread more
What’s important to me is to create passive income for myself over the next year or two. The types of people who I associate with making significant passive income are driven, ambitious, and highly motivated. Also, they enjoy what they do (e.g. blogging, publishing eBooks, making courses, etc.). I feel like the difference between me and these people is that I’m not that ambitious or driven. I think I’m lazier than these people. Either that,read more
These days, I don’t really feel guilty for much. I tend to be compassionate about myself and realize that I’m doing my best with what I know. It’s harder to do things with hearing a voice because I’m constantly trying to block it out and prevent it from talking to me. Sometimes, I do things solely for keeping the voice quiet. So, I acknowledge that I’m still struggling to deal with the voice and thatread more
The first week of the Success Triggers course by Ramit Sethi is about inner psychology. The first lesson is about brutal honesty and self-awareness. There were some study questions and steps to identifying and overcoming barriers, so I will answer those questions in my post. One thing that is important to me that I haven’t been taking action on is creating a music album or creating more song covers from scratch that I can postread more
At some point or another, we face the dreading feeling of regret. It may have been something we said to someone, or something we’ve lost out on. Whatever the case may be, regret does not feel good even in the slightest. The best thing we can do in these moments is to forgive ourselves for whatever the outcome may have been. We are not perfect beings, after all. We are bound to make mistakes hereread more
Today, I am reminded of this quote: “Don’t compare your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 20.” How easy is it for us to compare our lives to others’ lives? When we peek into other people’s lives, we may only see what’s good and not be aware of the bad. Or, we don’t realize the sacrifices it took to get to that point (e.g. the work it took for someone to now own a million-dollarread more
“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.” – Vince Lombardi I find this quote to be true. There are different ways in which success shows up in a person’s life. It could be owning a nice home, raising two beautiful loving children, or progressing in one’s career. But either way, a lack of will can getread more
