I love the game of YouTube

Almost a year ago, I joined synthesizer school. In this community, I’ve had loads of ups and downs where I just was on and off on YouTube being inconsistent with what I said “my purpose” was.

Then around 2 months ago, I made a decision. I realized that I needed to stay extremely consistent on one thing for an extreme amount of time if I was going to win. And I learned that after trying 13-16 different business ideas.

From selling print on demand to relationship coaching, to now, YouTube with a offer of a course and personal training.

And just as the author of the 12 week year “majority of our problems come from not having consistency.” Or something like that, I didn’t read the book I just heard that from Ali Abdaal.

At any rate, when I made the decision 2 months that I would stick to YouTube no matter what, that’s when things started changing for me.

The content on YouTube I consumed, how I treat my time, the books I read, what I did to re-charge, all of it, was used to direct towards one thing: YouTube.

And I’ve been loving it. Yes I’ve had my ups and downs, I won‘t bullshit anyone. If you’re going to do something for a very long time, you won’t be able to stay sharp 100% of the time.

But nonetheless, I still come back to YouTube. And after some thinking I realized why I’ve stuck with YouTube now more than ever than anything I’ve ever done.

Ever since I was a child, I’m sure a lot of other kids were like this, but I loved watching YouTube. Sometimes to the point where I was extremely obsessed over it.

But there was this one YouTuber I used to watch as a kid called “DanTDM.” I’m sure someone here probably knows him. And I remember watching him and saying to myself “I want to be like this guy. I want to be a YouTuber.”

And that thought has always stuck with me. I’ve always wanted to be a YouTuber when I was a kid.

That literally means, the more I do YouTube, the more I’m working towards my childhood dream. And most people who end up able to follow their childhood dream, are 1. More happy in the long run. And 2.(imo) much more fulfilled.

And on top of chasing my dream as a kid, I have actual knowledge now that would provide some kind of value I find in a meaningful way.

I know a lot more about exercise than most, and have been obsessed with it for the past 4 years now, just constantly learning more and more about it. And it provides value to people.

But it doesn’t even stop there. Because on YouTube, you can always do something better. Even Mr. Beast, the YouTube god, still has things he could improve on his videos.

And recently, I posted here asking for feedback on my packaging for a recent video I’m making. And even though it was only 4 people that commented, the 4 people that commented really freaking helped, and I would say just from that post alone I got a masterclass on packaging.

@Fede Navone Sabella

cause they gave me some really solid advice that’ll I’ll be taking with me forever.

When the game is something that you can only be better at over time, it really does feel like a dream.

I love everything about YouTube. Despite it causing me tons of stress, and an existential crisis every week or 2, and doing a good amount of things I hate. I still love all of that(in a very weird, masochistic way).

I love the game, and I hope others do to. See ya’ll around.
