A balance you need to fix: Creation vs. Consumption

Imagine a world where instead of people doubling down on consuming, they doubled down on creating. That's a world I'd like to live in. Maybe you're the same.

0:00 - My switch from consuming to creating
5:57 - The role model vs. the anti-role model
7:50 - Create for the 3 you's (past/present/future)
16:40 - Creations work for you. You work for consumptions.
19:20 - Opportunity = responsibility
23:05 - If your time was $1000 per hour, how would spend it?

1. The role model vs. the anti-role model

Who are the people you look up to? What do they have in common? Is it creating or consuming?

2. Create for the 3 you's

Make things to educate and inspire your past self, which bring your current self pleasure and pride and those which your future self will be thankful for.

3. Creations are nonlinear

One creation could change your entire life's trajectory. Except it's impossible to know which (they all do in some way). The only thing for sure is it will never happen if you don't start.

4. Opportunity = responsibility

Taking on the opportunity to create things which make your heart sing requires responsibility to let go of what's tieing you down and to climb over what stands in front of you (both of these are often only you).

Bringing change in the world first requires you to say, "I'm going to do this." and then doing it.

5. You're your own boss

Would you pay an employee $1000 per hour to spend time scrolling through a slot machine?

I wouldn't either.
