2 Years Ago, I Was….Exactly Where I Am Today (And I Hate That)
The Ship 30 For 30 prompt for Day 2 is the 2-year test, which initially seemed easy.
However, as easy as it was supposed to be, I had difficulty writing it. The prompt is straightforward and designed to highlight growth over the past 2 years. So what was the problem?
I was unable to identify meaningful growth as a maker, content creator, or individual.
But I Thought I Was Growing, Right?
Taking a hard look at the past 2 years highlighted that the growth I had told myself was there was simply not true.
Sure, I watched tons of videos, read several books, and set goals, but I hadn’t put what I learned into action. I wrote down project ideas, but did not make them a reality. After an idea was in Notion, I moved on to the next shiny object, but only in my head.
I allowed myself to believe I was being prevented from accomplishing my goals, building my projects, and creating content around them, but I was lying to myself.
So, What Happens Today?
Instead of continuing to believe the lies I have been telling myself, it’s time to turn thoughts and ideas into action.
It would be easier to blame circumstances, a lack of time, or anything else, but if I do, nothing will change. It’s (beyond) time to take Extreme Ownership of my goals, aspirations, and, most importantly, my actions. If I want to create the projects that have been in my head for years, create the level of content I aspire to, and
I believe with everything in me that if I don’t take control and ownership of it now, then I never will, and that scares me.
