[@annahomola]

Hey I’m 19 too! What’s your dream you’re working towards? Be specific pls❤

[@AndrewPaul1]

I wanted to share something quick - the first sentence "a year has come and a year has gone" was something I really leaned into. I feel like the idea of chasing our dreams usually is dependent on if people enjoy whatever it is we do - we usually give them the power to define if we were successful - for me , it was do this thing for one year - one year just go for it all out - and I really encourage you, no matter what just go for that thing for one year

[@digitalaura6174]

"a year has come and a year has gone" It just trigged my brain

I’m kind of in the same place you were a year ago, about 3-4 months ago I finally made the decision to post consistently and try my best to bring value with my photography channel. Still have so much to learn but I’m not giving up. I look forward in checking out more of your videos and seeing what you post in the future.🤙👊

Amigo, i have been watching your videos for 8 weeks! 8 weeks ago I decided I was taking my kids out of School in UK, moving us all to Cyprus and starting a KZbin channel. 8 weeks later we have done that and with no experience & 11 videos have grown to nearly 500 subs and 400 watch hours. Not sure where the future takes us, but you have been part of that journey without even knowing it! Thank you!

This popped up into my algorithm and I am happy it did. I wanted to just be financially stable enough by the end of next year to finally be able to live my life. I am a simple man. I will be 32 in October, I am a creative and a massage therapist to pay the bills. I haven't had the inspirations to draw or create anything in about a decade. I have ADHD and have been doing a lot of work on myself this past month to understand my downfalls and financial instability has caused havoc in m life. I am going to start creating a finalized art piece of some sort weekly and if I am lucky twice to three times as I pick up momentum. Thank you and god speed Andrew.

The inferiority complex to superiority complex to inferiority complex pipeline really be like that. Also, "focus on the inputs and the outputs take care of themselves" is a great revelation to have. Banger video, cinematography going crazy

[@sweatersandtea83]

5:16 - “There’s no dream fulfilled that will prescribe a greater identity” This is it. Especially as creatives who often enter the realm of being misunderstood when they create things, and often fight with conflating their worth/value with their skillset and gifts and dreams achieved/realized- this is it. No goal, dream, amount of success (however you define it), or piece of art will tell you who you are. It will reflect you and carry your DNA, but it won’t give you identity. So good!

[@genilace]

my guess is that for many of us, our skills and talents formed our identity in our early years. consistently receiving praise & validation created a sense of security that slipped from beneath us once we entered adulthood. perhaps the key is to first turn inward to discover the cause of our misplaced self-worth and dedicate ourselves to restoring that. only then can we create freely and find satisfaction. if you think about it, that's why we created as children in the first place. return home to yourself and your life becomes your dream.

[@taytay37842]

I feel like you put into words exactly what the authentic experience of being an artist is. That feeling and mental space of internally struggling and to work through potential limitations/self-doubt in order to create and to grow. It’s validating and makes me feel seen, so thank you. Bc you asked at the end, my dream is to create art (paintings/drawings) that I am proud of, that inspires or connects with people in some way, and that I can make a living from!

[@melisylnc]

Andrew, I started watching your videos only a couple days ago because I'm going through a period where I'm trying to create new routines, to just get back to living life after a depressive phase. I have the down times but it is the first time in such a long while, maybe years, that I'm actually trying to make it stick. The part where you talked about your dad, and how he said you might not make it with regard to your dreams is just so real. I am quite sick of everyone saying that once you do what you have to, you'll make it no matter what. That's not always the reality of life and once I realized it, that's what made me feel worse over time. That I might just not make it, and I couldn't come to terms with it. This is me trying to work hard and accept the reality of life and focus on the now. Thank you for your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@valiantpoet]

thank YOU for chasing your dream. there are people like me "behind" you, in terms of support and in terms of us chasing our own dreams, who are learning from your journey. im 5 months in so far and im learning a lot. cheers bruv! (20% gang 🤝)

[@jomarieolander4159]

20%! The colors and composition in your videos are so fantastic and fresh! One year from now I hope to still be working with my hands and creating. I worked in office administration for more than 10 years. In that time I went to school for a bachelors and a masters degree. Since I was a child I loved to sew but had stopped exploring with fiber and material for many years. In 2022 I left my admin job and was burnt out. I had made so many life decisions based on wanting people to think that I was strong, confident, very responsible and professional, but I lost the child within. Over the last year and nine months I’ve come back to myself, praise God. My inner child has come out of hiding and I’ve explored so much in fiber art. I also finally let myself say that it’s ok if I don’t want to turn my creative passions into a business, it doesn’t make it any less valuable to me. On Monday I start a full time sewing job where I’ll be sewing outdoor gear for a company who makes all their gear right here in the US. I’m so excited that I finally get to use the sewing skills that I started to develop at age 12 for work now, and I love that I just get to keep stitching miniatures and creating art as a hobby. That is such a gift to me. Thank you for sharing your story with us, Andrew!

[@cybelitani5817]

Really like your genre of videos. This is exactly what we need. More real, make it real. One thing I am struggling with is starting, mainly because when I try to do something I fail. Can you do a video really showing your failures and a real strategies of how you deal with them? Your walking thoughts? Etc. i usually go for a walk but I am still thinking about the problem because I am so addicted about finding the solution. No book really goes into detail so hopefully with your genre of videos, you’ll bring that out. Trust me, people want this but dont wanna admit it sometimes :/

Hello Andrew, I sincerely appreciate the story "A Year Has Come and A Year Has Passed" that you’ve shared with everyone, and how hard you’ve worked through it. It was truly needed. I’m a third-year IT student in Vietnam, but right now I feel lost. I’ve decided to take a gap year, though in reality, I’ve unofficially dropped out. When I was younger, I loved drawing and wanted to pursue art, but I was influenced by people around me who said, "Choosing art won’t offer a stable future." Now, I feel mentally and physically exhausted, constantly overthinking, and I haven’t attended class for the past two weeks. At 21, I still feel lost, disconnected from my family, and under heavy pressure due to the expectations of my grandparents. I want to take this year off to study English (which I’m not good at), and although I don’t know what the future holds, this decision has brought me some relief. I’m torn between continuing my IT studies or finally pursuing the art I’ve neglected for so long. I’m really grateful to anyone who takes the time to read these thoughts, and I hope to receive advice from those who’ve faced similar struggles. Thank you so much!

[@IsaacPaulides]

I am a part of the 20% who reached the end. I have some big dreams, but if I had to think within the context of a year I'd certainly want to be in a much more healthier state, both mentally AND physically. That mean finally putting in the good work to start losing some weight and body fat. I'd also like to start exploring my passions for real this time and not leaving them dry out as untouched ideas. That means signing up to drama/film clubs, getting a camera and starting to create some projects I and some friends have had in mind. Slowly picking up drawing again. Now, I am writing all this as the thoughts are coming out one after the other unfiltered, and I realise that this is a plentiful list. I have to concentrate on one, so I can in the future move on to the next. A new day has come, and I'm slowly getting there.

Ive been dreaming of starting a KZbin channel for years. I built a studio. Bought all the lighting, the camera, the lenses. How many uploads do I have? Zero. I think sometimes to trust the process and let in come naturally, and you need to figure out your exact niche, and your exact marketing. There's some truth in that but the true reason I haven't started, is that I am afraid. Afraid of failure, afraid of success, afraid of peoples thoughts and comments. Afraid to put myself out there. Thank you for the beautiful cinematography, the good script, and the honest up close looking to camera, and speaking your heart. My one year goal is to post my first video and then 7 more after that for a total of eight in the coming 367 days. Be a boss you'd want to work for (I gave myself off a few months for hobbies and travel :). Thanks you Andrew.

[@Constellasian]

I experienced a similar path to finding independence and peace in mind, body, and soul. The difference was my "Come to Jesus Moment" didn't happen until I was 34. I began feeling better at the age of 35 when I started focusing on myself, my goals, made drastic lifestyle changes, and stopped caring about what others thought of my life choices. Things moved quite fast after this. Eight years passed before I realized it, and I suddenly found myself no longer needing my job. I had "f-you money". I stayed at my job for another year because I was in shock at what I achieved. I retired early at the age of 44 by leaving my job last year. I'm going to leave the US to live overseas and adventure while I'm fairly young.

[@EmericHGN]

Also, "it might not work" is not forever. If it's not working today, it doesn't mean that it won't work tomorrow. A lot of successful people are the result of YEARS of trying. If you read this and you have a dream, go for it, you might not reach it tomorrow, but you can reach it eventually.

I remember wanting to weight 80+ kg I went to the gym ate right and after 4 months I have accomplished it, then I just started to loose motivation or discipline because I already got my goal, I couldn’t keep going because of the feeling I did it, it’s better not to have that feeling or just to have a bit of it and still keep pushing for something bigger each time.

this was really useful. i've also come to learn the exact same thing the hard way - you can't really control your results so i stopped being sad if i don't get them. but what you can control is your output! good luck man. this was my first video of yours and hopefully not the last

[@AndrewPaul1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Seesukie]

It’s so comforting to sit and hear someone be so real and honest. I’m really only leaving a comment because I know it helps, but this video was great and I loved the raw nature of it.

Thanks for this, Andrew. Ever since pursuing a creative path around 3 years ago, resistance has been my biggest enemy. No amount of books, KZbin videos, or Reddit threads have done anything to directly change that. In fact, they are a means for me to mentally avoid the real work that needs to be done. I really think that overcoming resistance or getting out of my own way is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. And I don't think that will ever change. However, I do believe I can get better at it. It is incredibly frustrating to see artists that can be consistently great and to assume that they don't deal with the same struggle. However, videos like this reinforce that everyone deals with it, and that it is possible to take one step at a time and overcome that resistance. I believe and wish that everyone who reads this can overcome, day by day, the side of their mind telling them why they shouldn't or even can't do what they believe they can. Anyways, this is my sign to get off KZbin, stop thinking about the outcome, and just go take a step.

[@FeeLoveEnqel]

This video is the embodiment of “If we choose to share what we make, our work can re-circulate and it becomes source material for others” It’s only up from here for you brother, thank you for the inspiration and sharing your art ❤️

[@LaniaMacDonald]

I need a brick! Thank you, Andrew for your video, I quite like your style of storytelling. Keep up the good work, you have an audience!

[@uassua]

“We are 20% family” warm my heart really ❤ I just wanted to say thanks for doing those videos, actually it so comfort to watch and that thing that you are making those videos shearing with people, with your own thoughts and experiences just are amazing. It’s so king that you giving it and don’t ask for something back, you share with all your heart, and just want to bring people something good. I appreciate it so much, hope u’ll help more people and just having good moments and fun and happy of what you are doing. 🙂 Answer abt the question, I want to become an art designer one day and I want to move in Italy or different country for study, I actually don’t know who I really want to be, and it’s kinda driving me crazy because it’s a chose of my life and I fell scared. But art is really what I like. Maybe it’s a good theme for your next video, abt a choice and specially about big things. I don’t know will you notice my comment, but I just wanted to say thanks for being you and making those videos, have a great day❤

[@Luda_quin]

I literally just stumbled upon your video and made it to the 20%! Really digging your video, it’s an inspiring piece of work. it’s real and a lot of people will thank you for this. I’m in the boat of trying to get my first official gig as a graphic/motion designer but also leaving my hometown to live in NYC and figuring out a new city, I understand what I have to do. Just gotta dig a little deeper. Thank you again…

[@AikaOmura]

20% family !!!! I’m currently on my journey to be an interior designer/ an architect. I just started studying one year and a half ago. I already feel like I’m stuck because it challenges me to be 1% better every day in order to make it happen, I have to challenge myself. It is uncomfortable place to be in because I get doubts, scared, insecurities, anxieties to do something new and step into the unknown. But whatever I do, I need to go right through it anyway to achieve something in life. Whatever the outcome might be, I just wanna be proud myself and prove myself that I can do anything. One step at a time. I loved this video. Thank you for sharing your story!

[@Ilaydoron]

Love your work brother amazing quality gave me so much motivation and “zoomed out from life”

[@mutamaa]

Thank you for making this video, it’s been incredibly helpful and just what I needed since I’m on my own.

[@gpg9249]

I don't know if I found your channel or your channel found me. really love it guy, so powerful and realistic insights. how we say in my place 'lo que cuesta, vale' ('what it costs, is worth')

[@wajid1128]

Thank you for this inspiring video! Your dedication and persistence over 367 days is truly motivating. It’s a great reminder that chasing our dreams takes time and effort, and your journey is incredibly encouraging. Keep up the amazing work!
