I was kinda in building mode the last year and today I woke up to this view: (attached below) Yeah it looks beautiful I know, and no, this post won't be about some bullshit of work hard or anything like that. The truth is I was afraid to come to Bali, I was in "monk mode" for so long, and not the 2-8 week sprint type of monk mode, it wasn't even monk mode anymore it was just my life... I consumed so much self-improvement and business content that everything has to be filtered thru the question: is this beneficial? Will this make me better? and when I mean everything I mean EVERYTHING, I was afraid to come to Bali because I knew I had this filter and I wanted to do stuff here that I just love to do and it doesn't necessarily make me "better" I forced myself into this optimizer identity and I lost my creativity, personality and playfulness towards life. ​ But this made me stuck... I stopped having great ideas, that aliveness left me and I even forgot what was the reason I was working for. One day on my YouTube feed some random channel came up about some guy documenting his "monk mode" I was curious about the video and I made a prediction about the guy's personality before clicking: "he will probably lack aliveness, will have that sleepy voice and will talk about his routine" I said to myself and I was 100% spot on, I knew this because practically this is how I lived... but the truth is that after a while it started to have diminishing returns, not even diminishing returns it's just practically got me nowhere. ​(I touched more on this in my new video)​ ​ so I decided to reverse engineer the times when I achieved the most, made the most money, had great connections and was the most fulfilled and I realized that at that time I was just being myself, sharing, consuming and creating stuff that I just enjoyed. I think now I understand what Naval meant by saying "escape competition thru authenticity"

If you had an Instagram account with 30,000 followers in the make money online niche, I don’t show my face, which is now inactive, how would you resurrect it if you were looking to create valuable content on similar topics with the idea to build a skool community around it. I realise that some may have similar experiences, and others may have pivoted from the content they create to different things. And I know @Andrew Kirby made a shift from his youtube content to what he does now. I understand these situations are not really comparable. As this account is now dead it may not matter much what I post, rather it may just be throwing mud and seeing what sticks. I posted a few reels just out of intrigue and it gets 1000 views pretty easily so I’m sure there is use for it somewhere.

Cut to the chase here... There are moments when a creator can create a profound sense of change in perspective about how to look at things here, and Hendrix has done it for me... Leon Hendrix's ability to resonate with ambitious individuals navigating through moments of uncertainty and the feeling of being lonely and different to others definitely is something I haven’t seen done as well by other creators. So dam relatable... And it’s a feeling that can be present no matter if you’re a content creator, online entrepreneur or are trying to do anything different in your own life that’s perhaps not aligned with the path you’re on, or what people think you should be on. Despite years of following various creators, I've often found myself wary of hidden agendas and paywalls. Hendrix, however, stands out for his genuineness and his ability to offer a fresh perspective on the daily grind, helping me envision reaching my own goals without feeling adrift. My goals encompass reigniting my childhood passion for playing the violin, which I got pretty good at, but left to the one side during my early 20's. I'm sharing it on IG, alongside creating insightful YouTube videos on life's hidden challenges, while gradually improving my ability to deliver compelling messages on video Ultimately, I aspire to build an online media venture, aiming for an 01B visa for work in the USA. Visualizing these aspirations not only bolsters my motivation for day-to-day tasks when working at home but also provides a clear direction for my journey ahead... And that’s the beauty of the synthesiser game, you can really find profound perspective shifting content where you least expect. Thanks bro 👏
