lessons I learned from my own impatience

I always feared one thing. When I had my first crush. When I participated in my first art competition

When I thought of convincing my parents to pursue studies in a field of my choice. When I had my first interview.

When I had to talk openly during a family dispute. When I create my videos. When I post my blogs. When I think about quitting my job and living my dream. The lists are endless. This fear is costing me everything. The results are disappointing me always.

How you can live a life you want if you are always running away from opportunities fearing REJECTION?

This post is not on some random thought. This thought is really afresh in my mind. Last three days I am creating video content along with my blog posts. I had a fairly good response for my first video, comparatively less for the second and only handful for the latest one. I felt rejected by my subscribers and Facebook friends. Recently after working on my self-awareness, I am able to relate my thought process now to what had happened to me whenever I came with creative contributions and felt rejected.

When I created my blog back in 2010.
When I and my friends created a short film together.
When I started posting videos on youtube in 2016.
When I launched my official website in 2017.
When I restarted YouTubing in 2018 again.
When I started creating blogs and videos again in 2019
and finally now, today.

Our lives won't change if we keep doing what we did yesterday. I realized it and this time I am facing my negative thoughts through a different approach. Like the farmer who had a golden goose, I wanted everything in a go always. I was blind to the fundamental requirement of consistency in efforts to create great and everlasting results. Those destructive thoughts were forcing me to quit every time. Even I had exploded at one of my colleagues who had criticized me one time. I choose to keep going this time.

I had set a target of creating 50 videos and 50 blog posts in the months of April and Ma and I will keep doing it.

I believe in consistency. Consistency creates results. Results build credibility. Credibility earns the trust of people.

People who believe in you will support you. The mutual desire to serve each other creates a better life.

This post is dedicated to all guys out there who are discouraged when results are not as you expected. We can only keep going. Results are not in our control. You may get applauded or rejected. Doesn't matter, keep working towards your goals and purpose. I strongly hold my purpose here to help people to live their best potential. If we don't protect our dreams, the people around us are going to be affected and not us. I will keep giving my best. This time, it's my game.

I am impatient now I choose to create more and not to quit like I did every time.
