I was watching a video from Casey Neistat today. This vlog here.
At some where a little after 3:30, Casey mentions a quote,
"Never let perfect be the enemy of good enough"
Watching that entire clip of Casey talking about this, got me thinking about how I do things. My past vlogs have been mediocre. All I remember was, wanting to get it uploaded before Wednesday was over, as it was a Vlog On Wednesday. Perfection was NEVER a thing with it. I just wanted it to be up. There was no standard for my vlogs. Now when I look back, oi, that has to change.
This year, I'm trying to see what medium works best for me and my craft. In the hope, of putting out good quality vlogs. Yes, I like story telling. I've also gotten over the fear of writing because I'm reading more. On the writing side, I feel that I just need to refine it. Let's hope that I can work on that because I have a research paper to write starting May or September this year.
On the video side however, filming takes time, but I love it. Once I have a solid time table for life, I'll be able to vlog more often. I convinced my parents to turn my brother's room into a studio (pictures by the end of January once it's all set up). I want that room to be a place when you go in, BAM! You want to get work done.
So at this point, I'm no longer going to wait for something perfect to make . If I have the time to write it, I'll write it, throw in some pictures if needed and hopefully it is good enough for me and to you reading this.
I can't remember if there was a time where I waited for perfection. I have been a perfectionist. It's both a good and bad thing. The good; you know you're work is going to be so good and you're going to be proud of it. The bad; it might take a long time and if you're not in the mood, it may not even come out at all.
I guess that's where I'll end this vlog. I will not talk about resolutions because they are so meh. I did however, find something awesome that Sophia Bush reposted from the instagram account : i am her tribe
Happy 2016.
You all know by now that I'm not one for making resolutions. I am, however, a big believer in setting intentions. My friends @iamhertribe hit the nail on the head so perfectly today that I'm going to go ahead and repost what they wrote, and wish you all an incredible, focused, narrow & deep, beautiful year ahead. Put your action where your heart is.
・・・
Be easy on yourself.
Don't rush to write down half-hearted resolutions + force accelerated change on your life, all in effort to make the January 1st mark.
Now is a time for reflection. For pausing. For learning. For letting go and transcending.
What is heavy? What is light? What would you like to see shift?
Create an intention, a positive calling, your own personal spark of magic that will manifest itself. All rooted in loving self, then back it all with your action.
