Why you procrastinate

You don’t find it difficult to eat.

So why is a video, project or task so hard to complete?

It is not the finish, but about not able to start.

If you want to know why, look deep in your heart.

The only place were truth is found
The only place you really find out

Is by taking your own route
Not by following the crowd

And yes this journey will be alone
Don’t see that as bad and your path will be shown

Word by word, one step at a time
Just like I wrote this honest rhyme

I won’t wish you luck on your journey ahead
The truth is what you need and what I give you instead.

This post is not for you if you are looking for another tip or technique.

All of that stuff doesn’t last.

The Pomodoro technique only worked for 1 week.

The 2-minute rule only worked for a day..

And you stopped using the timer you bought off amazon after less than a day.

Let’s be honest for once on the internet.

Let’s be honest with ourselves.

You don’t create as much as you want because

  1. you don’t like the WHAT

  2. you don’t like your WHERE

  3. you don’t understand WHY

So you DELAY the WHEN
But it is NEVER about the HOW

Every book, every video, and every post will tell you how.
Ask yourself honestly if those methods worked for you.
And if they did, for how long?

They didn’t last, did they?

The 12-week year planning…
The 7 habits of successful people…
The secrets of highly effective people…

You want to know the real secret?

There is no secret.

It is ALL about finding it out for yourself.
And NOT about following others.

You can get inspired to try something.

But never believe it will work for you.

It is far better to not believe anything the world tells you.
Then to get trapped by the common and never return.

To return to your true self,
Ask yourself:

“Did I find it difficult to draw when I was a kid?”

“Did I find it difficult to finish a puzzle when I was young?”

This is one of the truths I found:

A walk with people will make you walk slower.

Don’t believe me.

Just look at cyclists…

How can it possibly be that there are 1,000’s of cyclists in the Tour de France and everyone finishes almost at the same time?

A journey through the mountains of 3 or 5 hours and every cyclist ends up sprinting the last few seconds against each other…

Someone wins on a millisecond on a 4-hour race!

THINK ABOUT IT.

Competition will limit you.
So are you competing?

Are you stressed when you don’t film one video per week because everyone else does?

Do you feel anxious when you forget to post for a day because everyone else does?

When you stop competing

You will be unstoppable

Because you create for yourself

This is the secret of the untouchable

You never thought, how can I create 100 posts today, did you?

Humans always start with their reference points.

Never at their true potential.

If all that you heard all of your life is that someone

  • writes a book in a year

  • or a song in a month

You never think how can I write a book in a day or a song in a decade.

This is why the serious person spends his time alone.

Understanding what he or she really wants so that when the realization finally arrives it doesn’t take effort any longer and creation becomes effortless.

Just like eating food to survive.
Just like dancing for Michael Jackson.
Just like not hearing the fans for Lionel Messi.

You can be creating without the verb in creating.
When it is what you truly want.

So the most important thing I can leave you with is this:

“What do you truly want?”
