Day 1 — Struggles & Wins (get real)

Clear out my response and input yours

5 Struggles

Overthinking/Underrestimating myself. I always overthink, thinking about how people always see me and even how I portray myself. This prevents myself from pushing myself on certain boundaries
to be the best. Whenever I try something new or even things I've tried a few times, if I'm not the best, I tend to not work for it and just give up and this can stop me from unlocking new passions
(Mental) Self discipline. I'm good at physical discipline but nobody really talks about the mental discipline, like spending money, spending it on terrible habits, and all that stuff that's not physical but mental. ( I don't think much people talk about mental discipline as much as physical)
My ideas. Sometimes I don't think the ideas for my video content wouldn't be good which sometimes restrict me from posting content that I already made
Religion, I'm a christian that tries to be the best christian I can by following what the lords preaches and a lot of time I feel like I'm not as good as I could be.

5 Contrasting Wins:

Alot of people around me, friends, family, co workers and even some random people at the gym ALL see potential in me, which helps me overall with my confidence and makes me feel im doing right in life
With hobbies that I am passionate about, I will eventually become really good at it “Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you're willing to practice, you can do - Bob Ross” I think about this all the time which helps me push for more hobbies
I push people to talk about what's on their mental, I have friends that thanked me for just being there and being someone that they can rely on. This helps me appreciate the person that I am and still becoming
I'm making ideas, I'm TRYING, and alot of people dont. Which im doing better than most already
Religion is also something that takes time to pursue, im not gonna be the best at it immediately. I feel that the fact that I think about trying to better shows I want to better. And I'm happy that we have a lord that gives us time, free will, and unconditional love. Makes us lucky

Circled Contrasting Win (to use this week): Burnout.

Hook Activity: Write 3 Curiosity Loop Hooks:

Copy to Chat GPT: Write me 10 curiosity loop hooks, make 5 of them personal, make all of them contrast the audience's baseline belief with this new reality using this story: INSERT YOUR CONTRASTING WIN HERE

DO NOT COPY AND PASTE HOOKS FROM CHAT GPT THESE HOOKS MUST HAVE YOUR VOICE. IF THEY DON’T, YOUR AUDIENCE CAN TELL

So many hobbies… so much time wasted because of this ONE belief
I used to think the best talented people were naturally born gifted… I couldn't be more wrong
I thought I lacked talent, until I realized what was actually holding me back.

Stories today: 3–5 frames about writing this list; utilize the poll function for something

Community post: “Day 1”

Format appropriately and then copy and paste your 5 Struggles, your 5 Contrasting Wins and your 3 best Hooks in a Skool Post with the title:

Day 1

Then explain in at least 3 lines of text your visual concept for this reel and the emotion you want to evoke.

Motivate/Relate?

(Hook) - “I thought I lacked talent ”

(Visual) - Showing old photos/videos, bad drawings and me playing basketball (terribly)

VO - “Then I realized I couldn't be more wrong… Talent is a pursued interest.”

(Visual) Showing today/new photos/vids of me, better drawings, and me playing better at basketball

(VO) “All my hobbies I'm good at today are the hobbies I enjoyed putting the time and effort into. The sooner you realize that the more time and effort you put in an interest of yours, the more you're gonna get out of it”
