Question: I'm nervous to post videos on social media.
You should be nervous about it, because people might not be happy with what you're doing.
I have a bunch of videos where I talk about things, experiences I've had, or sometimes just calling out people. I'm nervous to post that stuff. That does not make me comfortable to post those things.
I have one video where I talk about a fantasy I have about going back to school and just confronting the teacher when the teacher asks me if I did my homework, and just getting all up in the teacher's face about it.
I wasn't necessarily really comfortable posting that video. But, I did it.
That's one of these rules that I had. I guess I still have that rule. But at first, that was a rule I had to really follow. The rule of: if I make a video, and if I'm a little uncomfortable about posting it, then I have to post it.
The discomfort is a sign that I must post this thing.
Nowadays, I will refrain from posting things for other reasons, but if I have the discomfort, then no. I have to post it. Because, you're training something here. You're trying to build something.
You have to transform yourself, and that means it's not comfortable.
It can't be comfortable.
