First post but hopefully not the last.
I think We should not live the life we want. Instead we should live the life we should live.

Why should it be either or the other ? If you want something you usually like it and the path that leads to it (you might get a lil' of course and tap your toes into unknown waters, but this also supports narrowing down what you really want), which means you are more engaged and can get better easier, which leads to you being more effective and developing yourself further. And everything you have learned through that process you can give onto others because you got a purpose that you developed through pursuing what you wanted and were interested in. A life you should live therefore for me is the life you really want. You probably won't wake up one day and know it but if you persist something will shine through - And thats what i'd aim for.

I really like the editing. The effects added bring it to life and make it engaging.

@Joao Oliveira @Benedek Santa People usually find their own style after they copied or got inspired by many other people. Synthesizing your own style over time is also part of the process.

Productivity vs. Creativity
When I heard that thought from Naval, it deeply resonated with me: People underestimate how much misery schedules bring to your life. Something clicked in my head, because I felt this way my entire life. Almost every business coach I see online or meet in real life have over-scheduled calendar. With a few exceptions. Maybe you too have seen a lot of content around how helpful it is to have a schedule. Naval also said: Creativity starts with an empty calendar and ends with a full one. Being a creative person and doing creative work for living, for me this conflict of productive schedule and creative freedom is what always caused and still causes a lot of stress. Over the years of working as a music producer I discovered that forcing myself to produce or mix a song when I don’t feel like it sometimes makes me waste an entire day and not finding a single beautiful note or chord. So if I have this opportunity in such days, I would rather have a long walk alone or with my family, do some journaling, watch some content or read something. If a deadline allows me to do it, of course. And a lot of times after this, closer to the evening my creative forces come back. As I launched my first online course and it’s still work in progress (half of the content is released, one more month of 6-day hard working workweeks left), I became deeply miserable because of the amount of work that I discovered is needed to be done. And there’s no escape without letting people down who paid me money and possibly ruining my reputation. I decided to learn a lesson or a few from this experience and in the future never do course launch the same way (even if that means that my family is gonna be broke for a few next months). You may ask, why did I launch the course in the first place? Why wouldn’t I continue to work as a music producer? The reasons are simple. In Russian speaking world top music producers earn $3000-5000 per month. I earned $2000-3000 before September, when I launched the course and earned more than $10000.

Definitions: Something gets Produktiv if you can make something with it - creating a produkt of whatever you did. This doesn't have to be physical. Creativity is your mind wandering and making new connections. To most people produktivity is probably a job (just over broke) that makes you dull work - this is where I'd recommend questioning your actions. Is it money ? sure we all need to survive but once that is established i would recommend to make the time meaningful. Once you love something you can excel in it. If you use this creativity now to create something new you got both at the same time. Once done well & balanced you might see that your time will be used much more to your liking. You could see it like going multiplicative instead of additive. Of course then it could also in the wrong direction - like having a depression. In short i think. Time infused with meaning improves both factors because it let's you combine them. I'm probably not a good example at this (yet)

Andrew, is $10,000/month easier than defeating ender dragon in Minecraft?
https://twitter.com/IAmAndrewKirby/status/1574728757210140672 If it IS true, then why don't you run a Cohort Based Course or something to help people in this community make $10k/m?

@Wiktor Romanowicz If you play Minecraft on hardcore yes - u lose everything. But if you play on normal u respawn as well. And if you were prepared and didn't fuck up badly to fall in lava etc. the stuff u had gets dropped on the ground and you can recover it within a certain time. They are much closer than thought.
