Whatever you do, do it for yourself.
Do it for you, just for you, everything.
Even if you love the idea of helping other people out and make that one of your prime goals in life, do it for yourself anyway.
Always.
Because here’s the thing: if you don’t learn to do shit just for the doing and the creating of it, if you don’t learn to appreciate the pure energy of fresh conception, you will somehow keep creating conditional connections.
And those are disappointments waiting to happen.
A dependency you simply don’t want.
Let me tell you what I mean, and what that looks like in my life.
If writing blogs or putting free courses online or posting videos or giving away free coaching was all aimed at a specific external result and visibly grateful digital masses, I would be fucked.
Because sometimes my actions result in a handful of likes and hearts and reactions, now and then they acquire even more than that, but most of the time hardly anything happens.
Not quite the deafening symphony of crickets, but close.
There are various obvious reasons for the lack of appreciative interaction.
An important one is that we’re all mostly self-centered and preoccupied.
