Recently I have been really active here on medium and as a result, I became a top writer in Social media! (Which is an astonishing milestone for me!)
As a result of that, I started thinking about why I was writing so much lately and I figured out what it was.
I’m enjoying what I am doing!
It may sound silly but it’s true! Everything that I have been building for the past 6 months has been things that I really like!
I feel that when you are doing something you really enjoy, everything seems to go better since you don’t feel like you are doing it just to survive.
I try to have as much fun as I can when I create an article, when I respond to a comment and when I write to others.
There is no secret formula here, I just love to write and talk about things that excite me.
Some people forget to do that.
Some people prefer to talk about how their life sucks and how they cannot do anything else.
They talk a LOT about how destiny got them where they are now and how they are doomed.
First of all, fuck off with that “I can’t do anything” mentality. If I can earn some money by writing about things that I like (social media, men’s fashion and many others) then you can do it too.
I feel that what most people think is that everything is going to be easy and fast when in reality it’s the opposite.
I didn’t get any jobs when I first started writing and even after 100 articles made (that were not paid) I still am working my ass off to create 100 more!
Everything boils down to how much you really are looking to succeed.
If you really want it, you WILL spend some extra hours working on your project.
If you really want it, you will say NO when people invite you to go out just to keep on working.
Some sacrifices have to be made in order to keep creating what you like!
If it was easy then everybody would be rich and famous right?
Much love to every single one of you!
