I’ve made over 2,000 lessons in my career. That’s 2,000+ videos ranging from 3 minutes to 25 minutes teach others how to do something. And I’ve barely scratched the surface of what I will create.
I don’t tell you this to brag, not at all.
I tell you to remind you, that creating videos is what I do. I am a creator.
What you do defines who are you. What you value and believe will guide what you do.
- To be a creator, you just need to create something.
- To be a musician, you just need to play something.
- To be a painter, you just need to paint something.
- To be an accountant, you just need to count something. Haha!
If you believe you’re a painter and you don’t paint, I hate to break it to you but you’re not a painter… yet. Replace painter with nearly any other profession and/or hobby.
Being comes after the doing the work. Believing you can do something is much different then believing you are. Just because you believe you’re a creator doesn’t make you one until you start creating.
I am a creator therefore I create things is backward.
- I create things therefore I am a creator.
- I code things therefore I am a coder.
- I teach things therefore I am a student.
Doing is the key. This key is unlocked by even the smallest act of doing every day for as long as you can. Thinking you can do the thing is essential to continue to do the thing.
Just do the thing
