Hi everybody, I’m SCARED because I decided to record more videos without overthinking. And it makes me nervous because it’s probably cringe!

Because normally I’m not doing it and maybe I’m not particularly good at it, but I do believe that everything you want in life is on the other side of cringe.

My take is that trying to look cool and trying to not look cringe is ruining your chances at achieving the life you want to achieve.

You fabricate this story in your head, how others might judge you or make fun of you for starting something new. 

But if you stop and reflect without allowing your mind to talk shit, you realize that nobody is thinking about you anyway. And if they do it’s for a split second until the next distraction steals the attention. So it really doesn’t fucking matter. Do what you want to do! 

This reminds me of the saying: those who mind don’t matter and those who matter, don’t mind.

Also, everybody you look up to started as a beginner. Life is like a video game: nobody starts at level 100 with all the skills maxed out. No, you have to start at level one and you do all the mistakes until you level up. 

And this is how you actually learn. There are no shortcuts. And I really believe that you learn more in a week being in the arena and doing stuff than one year being on the sidelines. 

You don’t learn until you actually start and your first attempt—whatever it is—is going to be absolutely cringe.

But to grow that is the price you need to pay. Perfectionism and fear are killing so many great ideas. I believe that the number one thing stopping you from growing your life is not failure, but it's the fear of looking stupid.

Your future really is determined by how much uncertainty you’re willing to embrace. 

And I guess this video is also just a reminder for myself. So just get out there, look silly, embrace the cringe, learn fast, and just get started!
