I made it to the 20% and I don’t know how to start my life at 19 years old

Powerful!

Avoidance 😅I know I need to begin producing video content!

I'm trying to grow an Instagram page to 1 million followers so I can have a brand behind my products so I don't compete with newcomers in the industry. Currently I'm at around 466 followers and I started 2 months ago and growing around 60 per week. Honestly it's been tough. But I'll do it and I'll update this comment when I do it.

I keep going because I have doubted myself my whole life. Now that I am 41, I don’t care what anyone thinks about me now. Films like yours and others like you keep me going to pursue filmmaking and doing what I want to know. I am currently attending LA Film School Online for Digital Filmmaking. I will finish school and love myself from now on….Thank you for this video

I’m part of the 20 percent🥰

I am part of the 20%, and i really needed this. Obrigada

Congrats man, the quality is insane.

Excellent video man. Right on point and right on time too. I think, in this social media space, one element that adds to perfectionism is the natural comparison aspect. When you see other people’s videos/content, the bar seems set so high and you want to make content as good as theirs so you end up, as you said, co paring your day 1 to their day 1000. It makes your content seem inadequate, when it’s not. The other puzzle piece here and how unforgiving people can be sometimes when they feel like the quality isn’t there in your content. I’ve see content creators upload videos where they made a mistake in a quote, maybe they rambled on, or the video/audio quality was poor and people were very quick to let them know that their quality sucked…It’s an environment where one doesn’t feel good with failure.

Great video! Very inspirational! I'm in the 20!

I made it to that point. Im on my way up to photography and the negative questions in my mind are, will I ever be a professional photographer? Will my photos look like the industry know 'good'?. At this point i dont even have a camera, does it even make sence that i want to become a photographer? Im like a rocket claiming that im about to take off while im still in pieces apart.

i'm scared of making decisions and start doing things if i don't know if that will be perfect... so thank you for your video, that allows me to think about it. and a lot

Thank you so much for making this video. I don’t feel insane anymore . I feel understood. God bless you

Im belong to that 20% im glad you make this vid makes me inspired as a teenager "there's too many options if i choose the wrong one, well my life will just fall apart i distracted my self so i didn't make a choice" literally me. "I was comparing my day one to someone's day 1000" hits different. I am very glad you make this vid and im inspired of ur creativeness keep going!!

Im 30, a blue collar worker through and through.. trucking, armed forces, construction etc…. i have no “business” around computers, But i started a journey in 2021 and got an associates in IT, which led me to hardware reverse-engineering…. All because i embraced my “i dont know what im doing”

My question while doing/trying anything new is "How will I know if I'll even ne good at this?" (Career path foe example)

Ayeee 20% gaaaangggg!

Amazing content. Just got started yesterday. 🖤🎵

Team 20 % ! 🙏🏻 I am always worrying about my age. Im 29 and have big desire for jiu jitsu and playing guitar, but I have started them relatively "old" and I not only want to do them but I really want to be high level at them. Thanks for your words man, great video!

I swear Google listens to each conversation we have in real life , that's how KZbin algorthims suggest this video to most of us.

This was an ad?

Thank you for the genuine sharing of the struggle. I always find myself hard to start doing things because I believe there is one right way of doing everything, and if I don’t get it right, I’m going to waste effort and it’ll be so stupid.

How did that first opportunity come about though? Did you know someone or were you sought out?

How do you make the colored backlights, is it with a projector?

part of the 20%! my biggest fear currently is where i'm heading next. i just graduated high school and being exposed to so many different options. but i don't have anything that i'm passionate about as of the moment. so, i'm scared of getting into the wrong path, not being able to keep up and also failing to meet my own expectations and also my loved ones'.

Dude ! First of all, I am part of the 20%. Second of all, you absolutely nailed it. The shots are so satisfying to watch, from Color grading, the angle of the lens you used for the shots to the actual stuff you say, it’s just so on point and feels like you speak for so many of us who struggle with this every day and yet believe to be alone in this… thanks man !

What comes easy won‘t last long, and what lasts long won‘t come easy.

I’m right there man. I constantly have imposter syndrome. I’ve had a pretty successful career considering where I started 10 years ago. I’m not rich, I honestly just have enough to cover my bills. But it seems like I always find myself looking back and glamorizing when I didn’t take any of this remotely serious. It was just more pure and fun. Idk. I’m trying to find my way back there I guess.

When I started college, I majored in engineering, and I felt stupid that entire time because it seemed like most other people picked up the content in the courses faster and with more ease than I did. I could barely contribute to group projects because I had no idea what was going on, and I hated being dead weight because it wasn't fair to my groupmates. During that period, what kept me going was a simple thought that's a bit hard to explain: I am a person who can interact with other people and make other people's days if I make an effort to be a positive force. Like, you know how it's hard to cheer oneself up? It sometimes works better if someone else is there to support you too. So by virtue of being another person, I can do at least simple things like smiling and listening to people in conversations.

I am constantly trying to delay and postpone my youtube videos. they are not as great as yours, but I like making them. for some reason I always I dread them.

20%!

How could I not watch until the very end when your video is so heartfelt, inspring, and visually stunning? What I think of a lot when drawing is that it has to look worse before it gets better. You start by blocking out all the basic shapes roughly where you want them, and it'll look like scribbles. But then, because you are an artist, you have the skills to refine the shapes, make it look like something, and add that touch of feeling that only a pencil can give. In the end, you'll have something. It may look good, it may not, but you did it.

Its crazy how this video shows up, and I have the same thoughts with the same words with the same fears.. Thank you!

20%... I am nobody. I literally don't have following on all social platforms, but i am on a venture of creating a podcast. And i feel so amazed knowing the context of this video about trying, which is coincidentally my topic on my podcast " The curse of not trying." I am also hoping for the success of this new venture..

My biggest fear is not being good enough. And my biggest weakness is to not even starting, because of this fear. I just end up dreaming beautiful dreams, without bringing them actually into reality.

i mean the title only got me going

I am one of the 20% and my "blocking" thoughts are always: "Will it be worth it?" And really often i end up with "nope its not" before even trying.

I think that most reason why I don’t do what want to do right now is situation in my country. I live in Ukraine, and if you know there is war. I do many things that I still living and don’t kill any people in military uniform, I really don’t want to be a part of ua army, it’s really awful situation. For other side I do nothing for my dreams life, but how I can stop thinking about all she crap what happens at my country and calmy do what I want to do? Maybe I need therapy 😅

I'm part of the 20%. Thank you so much for this video I didn't know I needed it so badly before I watched it. Inspiring and such a breath of fresh air. Made me feel seen and understood. Thank you for keeping it real !!

Last part of your video are super encouraging! We totally agree that the one that could be controlled by ourself is the one that we should be worry of.

hoping someday you will share us how you color grade, it is so amazing

your channel more than normal channel

Craziest thing is this video did end up doing better than the last one!

20% My biggest voice is "will you be happy in the end?". I have changed a lot because of this voice... I don't even know if these changes were good

i get to enjoy the thrill of doing what im meant to do
