Bring love with you Everywhere you go And you will never Be lonely
Obsessed with it all That’s why I won’t settle Not until every nook And every cranny Of every day Is composed of moments I can’t wait to recall
The more time you spend thinking about how you can get other people to like you…
The less time you’ll be able to spend thinking about how you can become someone you like.
And here’s the catch-22.
The more time you spend becoming someone YOU like… the more likely other people will like you.
And the more time you spend trying to be someone who is liked… the less other people will end up liking you.
Wanna know why you feel anxious?
Too many open processes.
You’re doing too much; thinking too much; taking on too much.
What you need is a healthy dose of less.
Less obligation. Less running around. Less distraction.
So that you can focus more on closing what’s already open.
A desire for more isn’t usually satisfied with more. It forever renews.
A desire for less, however, can be satisfied.
Eventually, all that will be left is what’s most useful, important, and necessary.
THIS is the desire that should be forever renewed.
Moving from consumer to creator can be intimidating.
Consuming is risk-free, relaxed, and dopamine-releasing—but, unfulfilling.
Creating is risk-taking, nerve-wracking, and self-exposing—but, rewarding.
One intermediary step that helped me is curating.
Which, many people don’t realize, is a form of creation in its own right.
Taking the best of what you find and creating your own unique content playlist(s) is an art form—one that highlights unique taste.
The best part is this: by immersing yourself in what speaks to you and your unique tastes—you’ll start making connections with your unique life experiences and ideas… it’s inevitable because you’ll only ever be pulled to curate what resonates.
And oftentimes, the byproduct of good curation over enough time will be creation.
