3:21 - 4:29 my new goal

In this video, I share my personal struggles with setting and achieving goals. At the beginning of 2023, I set some ambitious goals for myself, including learning to code, starting a new side hustle, and working out five times a week. But guess what? It didn't work out. I tried different side hustles, but they just didn't click. And I felt so stupid compared to all these successful people on social media.

But after sitting on it, I realized that I'm not going to force it anymore. I'm not going to do things that don't make me happy or fulfilled. I unsubscribed from channels that made me feel bad about myself and blocked my LinkedIn feed. I learned that everyone has their own journey, and sometimes it's okay to let things flow.

I also talk about the importance of acknowledging that our goals are here to guide us, not to force us into a certain box. We should modify our goals as necessary and not be too hard on ourselves.

When you started talking about your niece, I already knew where you were going. 😂 Great video! Look at others for motivation, but never for comparison!

This is a good video, especially your message. There so much content that is shoved into peoples faces about quick or extreme success that it negatively impacts individuals mentality, making them feel inadequate compared to these super young or ultra rich YouTubers.

Amazing vid ma'am keep up the good work.

This feels very relatable. Seeing all these success stories and trying to model them. It can give the feeling of always being behind. The thing is I come very close to finishing a thing like an ebook or a notion template only to not finish it and leaving it. This must be what they call the imposter syndrome..? any tips maybe? Maybe I should also just let it go for a while as well. Your vids are appreciated tho! Goodluck:)

Hey! I just found you and I think I can give you a bit of Feedback on that part! :) looking through your videos, the most watched is the website builders comparison on which I commented on earlier. 😅 and that makes a lot of sense to me from an outside perspective. Now, in another video you talked about common mistakes in portfolios and that they should not be all over the place. I would suggest to apply this to this channel, because in my opinion it is a bit unclear what you want your channel to be right now. Is it personal vlogs? Is it mental health? Is it promotion for possible clients?
It can be whatever feels best to you of course, but if the helping-others part is something that is rewarding for you, I would venture in the direction of tutorials for young designers. If you want someone to bounce off ideas from, I would be glad to hop on a call with you sometime. You helped me with choosing a builder to learn, so if I can offer help to you, I am happy to do so! 🤗

I’m a random college freshman Econ bro so off topic but your really pretty. But yeah all these success stories make my own success not feel like anything special

you should move to finland. instead of bragging we keep our mouths shut or maybe compete against each other in who can be most humble about themselves ever 😂
