What a wonderful day we're living in. A world where everything is possible nowadays. Absolutely everything. We still have things to explore, missions to accomplish, and ideas to generate. But it's a wonderful time to do all of that.
The human capacity for exploration is boundless. And now more than ever before. When I say now, I don't mean in the next 10 yearsâI mean today.
Reconnect with your goals. Reconnect with your desires. Reconnect with what you want to do. Because it's possible now. Because you can. Because it's so lovely.
Reconnecting means looking inside and asking yourself: What do I want to create today? How can I contribute today? That's the purpose. The purpose is contributing. The purpose is to give.
That's the purpose of everything. The purpose of living is giving. You don't need to look for other purposes. Because even if you find other purposes, it all comes down to giving, to contribution, to putting yourself out there for others.
It doesn't matter if those "others" are dogs, planets, plants, humansâpoor, rich, women, menâit doesn't matter. You're out there contributing to something. To some organism, to life itself. Fulfilling your role as a vessel of energy and transferring it farther and farther. That's the whole thing.
I've been thinking about how much knowledge we transfer between us, especially nowadays. How many insights, life lessons, and pure ideas we share in so many formats. Video, audio, textâeverything, everywhere, all the time. So many inspirational people. It's incredible that I can open my computer and have immediate access to everything I want.
The other day, I received a comment on one of my short-form YouTube videos. Someone wrote, "crap video." I faced criticism. There are many ways to handle criticism, and I wanted to know how to approach it. So I went to Google Gemini and asked for quotes about handling criticism from the greatest minds who ever lived. Immediately, I received 23 quotes from everyoneâAristotle, Albert Einstein, Theodore Roosevelt, and more.
I want to share my perspective on handling this comment, because I believe some of you might face criticism along the way. First, his comment comes from his perspective. I wish him nothing but love. But I want to focus on my perspective.
I'm trying to put my content out there. I'm sharing my insights and knowledge. I'm contributing as much as I can. And it makes complete sense that some of my efforts will fail. That effort, with that particular personâmaybe with more peopleâfailed. That's it.
There's no way I could have started without failing. If I feared failure, I would never have begun. Or rather, I did fear failure, but I did it anyway. I knew I might fail, but I kept trying. These are my first steps at sharing and doing new things, improving my output to the world.
Obviously, I'm going to fail sometimes with some people. I'll make mistakes. And yes, maybe it was a "crap video" for him. Not maybeâhe wrote that. It was a crap video for him. So with that person, with that video, I failed.
But I'm so proud that I tried. I'm proud that I'm outputting, not just inputting. That's the story today. I hope it gives you some inspiration.
The way I chose to look at this criticism is with responsibility. I take responsibility for this. And I'm going to keep trying. I'll keep creating output, absolutely.
I wish you a wonderful day. As we started, it is a wonderful day. I'll see you on the next one.
