Wow this is a legit sign for me especially after making a really bad choice that will change my life but i know it's probably for the better ill just keep praying & having faith in God🙏🙏🙏
I think for me, the main thing that held me back was the notion that I had to be the best in the earliest time possible in anything I did. This society does a great job of indoctrinating us to be hyperindividualistic with our skills and our talent, and instead of collaborating with others, we think everyone is competition and if someone achieves success earlier than us, then we are inadequate and less worthy. I had to unlearn that and forgive myself for all the times I've doubted myself simply because I was comparing myself to another unconciously. It's so sad that genuinely good people don't feel like they're enough, and that alone will paralyze you to not follow your purpose and conform to a reality that is meant to devour you.
This has been such a journey for me to learn/unlearn as well. This society does such a good job at making us think that we need to have everything figured out, when in reality no one does lol
Woah now this hit the nail on the head!😭🥲 this is literally one of the things that stopped me from starting my herbalism business because as i started seeing spirituality become more mainstream it seemed that everyone was starting to do the same thing and i couldn’t find my “niche” or my uniqueness to be able to separate myself from the majority. Idk if I’m even making sense but it’s a learning process and the social anxiety doesn’t help it much either
The biggest thing that’s been holding me back is just my social anxiety. It’s taken so much from me and I’m just tired of being scared all the time. You’ve inspired me get out of my comfort zone a little more everyday and just see what happens❤️
Same, I recently got an oppurtunity to meet someone new. But I'm not sure if I should take it. I think it's because of the fear that the person I'm meeting up with might not be what I expect. It's the uncertainty that scares me. I kind of have a "Fuck it" attitude, so I'm more comfortable with being judged by others bc I'm secure in myself. I only want pure and genuine relationships and idk if this person I''m meeting up with is someone I can have a genuine connection with. I guess the only way to do it is to just, well....do it.
@@555ochiblvd Yeah I mean that’s all we can do, be as genuine and authentic as possible and whoever sticks will stick. I hope to embody this mentality more. I wish you luck with your interaction❤️peace and love
this came at the riht time. jusr had a mental breakdown over how shitty my family are towards me and been thinking about moving out ,but im scared. dried my tears, prayed and came to youtube to this video being the latest upload.bless u . this helped me so much
My family is also shitty My mental health is really on the line and what really stresses me is being unemployed I want a job so that I can move out of this place. But I'm scared as well at that thought
I loved this video and the last one. I worked a 9-5 office job a few years back. I had the worst anxiety, panic attacks, bald spots. I was miserable. I wanted to quit so bad and work on just youtube and my boutique but I felt like I couldn't because I didn't want to live with my parents forever and was in debt but then I asked god to give me a sign of what to do or what path to take. The next day september 3rd 2019, my position as a finance assistant was eliminated. I was so happy but scared and it felt so surreal the first few months. Then the pandemic happened but now I am still working on content and I am able to work on my business full time and still able to get by ! I make around the same running my business if not a little bit more. I still have days where Idk what I'm doing or days I don't want to get out of bed but I remind myself of how miserable I was before and how much better my life is because I'm able to create my own schedule. But okay I'm done, I can't wait for all your new content !!! You're videos motivate me
I resonate with what you are saying SO much, I just dropped out of college to move abroad & pursue my dream career NOW, there's literally no 'correct' path to getting what you want, you just gotta do what feels right for you even if it's scary :) So excited for all your new content now that you are a full time CZcamsr hehe!
I started my business in February this year, and one of my biggest struggles has been my lack of self-discipline. I find it so hard to motivate myself and put in the work to reach my goals. Another struggle of mine is the imposter syndrome
That glow is real! Been following for awhile and had to finally say something. I don’t know you in person but I’m so happy for you and inspired by you.
For me it's a mix of worrying about how I'd make money, also not knowing what I want to do exactly, and not having time to explore that. Your videos are helpful and inspiring so thank you!
This came at the perfect time I’m Working on opening my own business next week and I’m so nervous a lot of planning and i have my first photo shoot next week I hve so much fear in my ear telling me this won’t work 😞 but I know I have a mission and purpose in life and I can do this 💜
Starting is always the hardest part because we are afraid to take risks in life but not risking will be the most regretting thing, so explore the world with your dreams, new ideas. Life will find you there
I was nervous before I started my travel channel. I always wanted to travel to exotic places and experience other cultures but just couldn’t afford it. I made the mistake of purchasing a home and now feel a bit trapped. But I enjoy watching others experiences. I noticed that there wasn’t enough representation of people like me who travel world wide so I created this channel along with social media and I reshare others experiences. It’s going better than I thought because I see that people actually watch the content I repost. They laugh, smile and get encouraged from it. Thank you for motivating me to post more and venture outside of my comfort zone.
choosing to ignore fear is definitely my biggest struggle atm if I fall off my goals even for a day, I beat myself up over it. through self work I found that it was a subconscious effort to keep me complacent disguised as "holding myself accountable" every day is a new opportunity to improve from where you were before
Wow I dont want to admit that I'm in tears but I just found you today and I cant believe how much im inspired already. Im 25 living in a big city alone feeling stuck and like its too late for me. When you said that part, it hit home for me. Thank you for what you do💙
Feel everything thing you are saying. I started my CZcams channel and I swear everyday I tell myself what is the point ??? NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. Everytime the fear comes up something whispers KEEP GOING ITS NOT ABOUT YOU, SOMEONE NEEDS THIS. So I keep going even though I’m nowhere near where I think I need to be. GOD CLEARLY HAS A BIGGER PURPOSE. 🙏🏾 THANK YOU❤️
What others think of me, particularly judging or making fun of me has always ALWAYS been my biggest obstacle. But now that I’m months away from being 25 I really want to get over this and start doing shit I want and not caring what everyone else thinks.
I started my life a couple of months ago, i am developing and i am most afraid of doing nothing for the first time, when was the last time that i do something for the first time? I hope i will never answer this question as "a long time ago" lots of love ♥️
I've always been afraid of letting people I know, see what I really want to do (youtube) like you said you become almost embarresed at the fact that people could potentially going to laugh at your dreams. I'm so glad I no longer care what people think. It feels so liberating. ❤️
I really needed this. I’m on the cusp of starting classes in UI/UX and I’ve been so scared because this year’s been me failing at getting a job and just taking Ls. This’s made me feel less afraid and alone and I’m dipping my toe in the water and designing away!
I have to keep telling myself this. It’s like I woke up and all of a sudden I’m 22, about to pay for college to go into a career that I really don’t even care about. All I’ve wanted since I was young was to entertain, create music, art, and for a while I felt like I was on the path to achieving success through that. And then the self doubt and anxiety crept in. All the voices saying be realistic and responsible, you can’t be stable with that life. You aren’t the percentage of people that make it. You may as well start on your backup and once that’s stable go for your passions. And I know what I want to do, I work on these passions everyday still. But instead of putting them out for myself or others to see, I’m constantly pushing them down with the excuse that it’s not important enough. I have to get out of this cycle and back into my joys.
I believe the biggest struggle that I have with going with what I want to do is not being able to do it, or I think that the dream is too big for me to do. Ever since I was little I have wanted to become a singer or an actress, and I always believed I could do it. Until I started working my first job at 18 and thought that this was my reality. I became a phlebotomist at the beginning of the year and I would always go sad to work due to happy I was, I left the job and now I am currently trying to find my purpose and to not settle for less, the younger me was sure she could do anything in the world, now I need to remind myself NOW.
I have hesitated to socialize with others due to fear that I have nothing interesting to offer to people because my life has been so mundane. I realize now that this belief system will never serve me, and that I need to start from somewhere.
You've inspired me to take the leap and quit my job at a big tech company to pursue my own creative business and to share more about my journey on social media! ❤ The hardest thing is to accept that I'm learning and the growth will take time. My job was a huge source of validation for me because of how important it felt, how impressed people would be when they learnt what I did, and because of the money. But in reality I felt like I wasn't true to myself, wasn't spending my life in alignment with my values. I'm slowly shedding that old identity and keep picking myself back up after periods of doubts. 💪
i watched this video when it came out a year ago, and i'm here again rewatching and I just wanted to thank you because me last year didn't have the courage to actually start a youtube channel like i've always wanted to but this year? i am. thank you so much
I was watching this one video about investing in crypto (lol) and the guy said, "yesterday may have been the best day to invest, but today is the second best". I'm pretty sure he was just talking about investing, but like my brain exploded because I feel like this can be applied to life too. There have been so many times where I have wanted to start something (posting fashion stuff on instagram, starting dance classes, writing a book, etc.) and felt like it was "too late" or that too many other people were doing it and I wouldn't be successful. But the thing is, there is more than enough success to go around, and it is never too late. Today is the best time for you to start, rather than being too afraid for another year.
I swear you have a video on all of my thoughts, it's crazy! You're so right though ... we all think about these things but for whatever reason it's "weird" to talk about them.
Honestly I don't think its fear that controls us. Its financial freedom. Starting over, quitting, moving to a new place has never gave me fear. It's the lack of financial freedom that hold alot of us back. Like you cant save when life is constantly throwing shit at you. Or maybe youve applied to high paying jobs and have the degree or experience but can't get in the room. Money makes these things so much easier.
the best encourage video i've ever seen. all u said is so on point, i'm like often stop myself of do what i want and it's not even becuase of hate or negative comments. just simply stopping myself as my own biggest hater: whatever i do is not good enough, nobody will be intrested in things i do, i suck at it, there much more people who better than me, more talanted etc. and lately i started to see that message more often. i quess its a sign from universe that i really need to listen. thank u a lot what u do is amazing. keep spread the positivity, the world need it rn more then ever.
You are such a light and you’re on the right path I can feel it❤️ I also love how get right into the topic in your CZcams videos. No lengthy intro or anything. I think that is a very captivating way to start and it also makes your message feel more authentic and important. Love all the content keep following your heart❤️
I definitely had a fear of starting my CZcams channel. I had so many fears and blocks until after months of putting it off..I just started anyway regardless of failure or rejection. 💕
This message was meant for me. The sign you talked about in your last video. Thank you🙏🏽 I'm so grateful to the Universe for drawing me to your channel.
Love this!! I left the US last fall and it’s opened up this space of fearlessness that I’ve never experienced in my life. But even with being here, still playing it safe has really slowed down my manifestations! Money, opinions, past decisions, all that, it all slows me down. But in the times I really didn’t care, that’s when the most powerful things happened because I MADE IT HAPPEN. I’m grateful for this reminder, you’re so on point. Soooo much I’m excited to do and feel into. 💐
Literally feel like you're talking directly to me girl! The fear can be real sometimes but we need to overcome it and once we start taking steps towards what we truly want we realise that the fear was a liar anyway! Love your channel girl! 🙌🏻😍
This video was needed 💛 thank you 🙏🏾. I’ve found it difficult to gain the confidence to go after the things I want. It’s pretty discouraging when you are working just for a paycheck and there’s no passion in what your doing. It’s been so hard lol, but watching this has inspired me to get back up and try again.
youre getting me closer and closer to starting my youtube channel. ive wanted to for years but im always afraid or find an excuse not to. but i just keep getting this overwhelming message in my head like "wtf, you can do whatever you want with your life"
Thank you so much. I want to start a CZcams channel and I’m being hesitant right now, then your video popped up on my phone and girl I am listening! You are so beautiful inside and out, so real and raw. Needed to hear this!
JUST watched your video about quitting your job late last night Trying to find encouragement. I’ve been contemplating soooo much !! So grateful for this video. I’m at work right now, trying to find the courage to keep a positive frequency and not beat myself up for the Hostile environment/negative actions of others. Making a list now 💖
I literally posted my first video where I’m actually talking to the camera and I didn’t not realize how nerve racking and how much anxiety it gave me. I did multiple voice overs then scrapped those and just kept practicing and tried to not take it so seriously. We all start somewhere, I’d rather know I tried and failed than not tried at all! Thanks for the motivation and constantly encouraging us to level up!! 💫✨⚡️
I think my problem is energy... When I get off of work, I am so tired that I often fall asleep on my couch before I have the chance to work on my CZcams channel. I need to find ways to stay more energized throughout my entire day. Thank you so much for this video!
i definitely feel like i let any and every excuse stop me from doing things i really wanna do: people’s thoughts and opinions, time, money, work, you name it🙃🙃
You practice what you preach 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 To answer your question: one of my fears is raising my prices because I don't want people to think that I'm being "Hollywood" or insensitive to "accessibility". I'm getting better year, by year but that's just my truth 🙏🏾 Thank you for this reminder, came at the perfect time🙌🏾👑💫
It’s so crazy you’re talking abt fear because until this year I never believed it to be so powerful. That is literally how I went months without creating. One day my mind just kept saying “you’re not good enough” “no one is going to watch you” “you should quit” this would happen every time I tried to film, and it got to powerful that I wiped my makeup off, had a mental breakdown in February and haven’t filmed since. I just laid in bed everyday wanting to create and it just felt like the devil was clouding on top of me saying “don’t even think about it” 😞 it was such a horrible feeling. I don’t remember being that effected from fear before like that. Of course moving to a whole new state added more stress but fear def was the cause of me taking a break, I just didn’t know how to create without feeling good enough. I feel okay now, but I’m scared that it’ll start happening again. I don’t want to be inconsistent so I really want to work on building myself up, which is what I’ve been doing 🦋
I swear it's like you read my thoughts. I just made a huge decision regarding my future and what I didn't want to study and my biggest fear was my family's reaction and instead, my mother consoled me and it felt amazing then here comes your video when my fear started to set in that I'd never equate to much if I didn't become this specific thing. thanks so much for this!!!
So grateful to have found you!!! Currently trying to recover rom a severe Ed and self hate and your videos are so grounding and help so so much thank you xx
I am really working on releasing my limiting beliefs and fears around pursuing my passion and even finding the right way for me to do so and also lack mentality around money. Love your videos so much Lynette!🥰
Starting really is the hardest part! I finally started my YT channel even though its been a 10yr plus dream (yes I made a channel in 2009 w my bff lol) but now I'm finally doing it on my own and in my own terms. Much love to everyone fighting their fears and chasing their dreams
Thank you for sharing this! ❤️ my biggest hold up is lack of belief in myself. For so long I have told myself one story and now I was to venture out and try something different and not traditional..and that scares me 🙈
Money and age. I’m 39 with a family and home, so just turning and deciding that I want to do something different with my life is scary if it means that we’d have to struggle. I also haven’t pinpointed exactly what it is I want to do. But I’ve recently decided that I’m just going to dip my toes into everything! I currently work in the music industry and it’s amazing, but there isn’t a whole lot of growth in what I do. I’ve enrolled in college again. I have an art degree and am going back for a marketing degree. I’m trying to find programs and mentorships that can help me with a vision.
Struggles : boundaries & balance for example productivity vs burnout, consistency, criticism, confidence, & ofc anxiety. Stressful situations send me to the ER 🥲 but I think it’s cuz Idk how to handle them so I suppress terribly which ends terribly as well (nervous laugh) 😬
I am learning to not allow fear to hold me back from anything. Little by little I feel more free every single day. I have been thinking about getting into modeling, brand and commercial modeling as a side hustle and just for the experience. And it's way I can step out of my comfort zone.
All of your videos have paralleled what’s going on in my life. For once I’m grateful for the YT algorithm bc it brought me to your channel LOL. Another thing that’s helped me with fear is knowing that it’s just a mechanism to keep me safe, and that by going after my dreams I’m not going to die (even though my body makes me feel like it). Thanks again, love your videos 💕
Great advice! People unfortunately have to do things when they are ready, because if someone were to have forced you to quit your job and do CZcams full-time, you may have been resentful when that fear did not go away. You are also correct about fear amplifying the more responsibility, or a bigger of a platform you have. A part of me needed to be reminded of this today, so thank you! I subscribed and wish you much success and happiness a long your journey! 💞🙏🏻🌻
"Do not let fear keep you in bed scrolling through Tik Tok watching other people live their dream lives..." whew that was a WORD! I would add Instagram, Facebook and CZcams to that as well. Sometimes what separates you from the next person you see living the life of their dreams is that they just took the risk and tried to go for it. But remember, YOUR dream life is not exactly the same as someone else. Embrace yours. Love yours.
Loved this video! We share the same views on not caring about what others think of you and going for what you truly want in life. I'm currently in the process of moving to another state to pursue my dreams and it is super nerve wrecking but still I move closer to the discomfort in hopes for a brighter future. Nothing worth doing is ever easy! and not living out your potential is hard to deal with. Thanks for the video! 💗💗💗
Honestly what I needed to hear🙏🏾🦋 Ironically my procrastinating/safe side of my brain wanted me to skip this video in order to further the cycle! I’m so glad I listened to the inner me and clicked!
I really needed this... like, my anxiety and overthinking of doing the thing I want the most has been kicking my butt lately, but this video makes me want to just stand up and go for it! I've been looking for signs to start my youtube channel and this has been the biggest one yet. Your videos are truly inspirational, thank you
I literally feel like you’re talking to me personally it’s crazy because I have been struggling with all of these things for so long and only recently started to work on them. Thank you for this video, it has helped more than you know
THANK YOU 😘 I Needed to here this. I've been an artist since I was a little girl. Ever since I went to college I haven't spent as much time on my art as I want to. But I'm working on that
We as humans need routine, but at the same time, nothing lasts forever. Embrace change like a new adventure 🙃
I totally agree, maybe routines always change and thats the new thing ♥️
Wow this is a legit sign for me especially after making a really bad choice that will change my life but i know it's probably for the better ill just keep praying & having faith in God🙏🙏🙏

I have to keep telling myself this. It’s like I woke up and all of a sudden I’m 22, about to pay for college to go into a career that I really don’t even care about. All I’ve wanted since I was young was to entertain, create music, art, and for a while I felt like I was on the path to achieving success through that. And then the self doubt and anxiety crept in. All the voices saying be realistic and responsible, you can’t be stable with that life. You aren’t the percentage of people that make it. You may as well start on your backup and once that’s stable go for your passions. And I know what I want to do, I work on these passions everyday still. But instead of putting them out for myself or others to see, I’m constantly pushing them down with the excuse that it’s not important enough. I have to get out of this cycle and back into my joys.
Looking at the title, i needed this. Thankyou💓
❤️
I believe the biggest struggle that I have with going with what I want to do is not being able to do it, or I think that the dream is too big for me to do. Ever since I was little I have wanted to become a singer or an actress, and I always believed I could do it. Until I started working my first job at 18 and thought that this was my reality. I became a phlebotomist at the beginning of the year and I would always go sad to work due to happy I was, I left the job and now I am currently trying to find my purpose and to not settle for less, the younger me was sure she could do anything in the world, now I need to remind myself NOW.
Going to take this as a divine message and sign to just go for it -- so thankful the algorithm led me to you.
This woman is literally my role model
How ? how ? You dont even know her!!
I have hesitated to socialize with others due to fear that I have nothing interesting to offer to people because my life has been so mundane.
I realize now that this belief system will never serve me, and that I need to start from somewhere.
You've inspired me to take the leap and quit my job at a big tech company to pursue my own creative business and to share more about my journey on social media! ❤
The hardest thing is to accept that I'm learning and the growth will take time. My job was a huge source of validation for me because of how important it felt, how impressed people would be when they learnt what I did, and because of the money.
But in reality I felt like I wasn't true to myself, wasn't spending my life in alignment with my values.
I'm slowly shedding that old identity and keep picking myself back up after periods of doubts. 💪
i watched this video when it came out a year ago, and i'm here again rewatching and I just wanted to thank you because me last year didn't have the courage to actually start a youtube channel like i've always wanted to but this year? i am. thank you so much
I was watching this one video about investing in crypto (lol) and the guy said, "yesterday may have been the best day to invest, but today is the second best". I'm pretty sure he was just talking about investing, but like my brain exploded because I feel like this can be applied to life too. There have been so many times where I have wanted to start something (posting fashion stuff on instagram, starting dance classes, writing a book, etc.) and felt like it was "too late" or that too many other people were doing it and I wouldn't be successful. But the thing is, there is more than enough success to go around, and it is never too late. Today is the best time for you to start, rather than being too afraid for another year.
I swear you have a video on all of my thoughts, it's crazy! You're so right though ... we all think about these things but for whatever reason it's "weird" to talk about them.
Honestly I don't think its fear that controls us. Its financial freedom. Starting over, quitting, moving to a new place has never gave me fear. It's the lack of financial freedom that hold alot of us back. Like you cant save when life is constantly throwing shit at you. Or maybe youve applied to high paying jobs and have the degree or experience but can't get in the room. Money makes these things so much easier.
you literally are the most positive and inspiring person on youtube
the best encourage video i've ever seen. all u said is so on point, i'm like often stop myself of do what i want and it's not even becuase of hate or negative comments. just simply stopping myself as my own biggest hater: whatever i do is not good enough, nobody will be intrested in things i do, i suck at it, there much more people who better than me, more talanted etc. and lately i started to see that message more often. i quess its a sign from universe that i really need to listen. thank u a lot what u do is amazing. keep spread the positivity, the world need it rn more then ever.
You are such a light and you’re on the right path I can feel it❤️ I also love how get right into the topic in your CZcams videos. No lengthy intro or anything. I think that is a very captivating way to start and it also makes your message feel more authentic and important. Love all the content keep following your heart❤️
Thank you so much❤️
Girl I just love you😭♥️you hit every single spot, I thought I was alone feeling like this! Thank you❤❤❤
I definitely had a fear of starting my CZcams channel. I had so many fears and blocks until after months of putting it off..I just started anyway regardless of failure or rejection. 💕
This message was meant for me. The sign you talked about in your last video. Thank you🙏🏽 I'm so grateful to the Universe for drawing me to your channel.
The algorithm lead me to your channel for a reason. Thanks for the inspiration that's sound like gospel to my ears and heart ❤
Love this!! I left the US last fall and it’s opened up this space of fearlessness that I’ve never experienced in my life. But even with being here, still playing it safe has really slowed down my manifestations! Money, opinions, past decisions, all that, it all slows me down. But in the times I really didn’t care, that’s when the most powerful things happened because I MADE IT HAPPEN. I’m grateful for this reminder, you’re so on point. Soooo much I’m excited to do and feel into. 💐
Literally feel like you're talking directly to me girl! The fear can be real sometimes but we need to overcome it and once we start taking steps towards what we truly want we realise that the fear was a liar anyway! Love your channel girl! 🙌🏻😍
This video was needed 💛 thank you 🙏🏾. I’ve found it difficult to gain the confidence to go after the things I want. It’s pretty discouraging when you are working just for a paycheck and there’s no passion in what your doing. It’s been so hard lol, but watching this has inspired me to get back up and try again.
I know how discouraging that can be. Go you for getting back up, it’s not easy but so worth it!
youre getting me closer and closer to starting my youtube channel. ive wanted to for years but im always afraid or find an excuse not to. but i just keep getting this overwhelming message in my head like "wtf, you can do whatever you want with your life"
The vibes here.... *chefs kiss*
Thank you so much. I want to start a CZcams channel and I’m being hesitant right now, then your video popped up on my phone and girl I am listening! You are so beautiful inside and out, so real and raw. Needed to hear this!
JUST watched your video about quitting your job late last night Trying to find encouragement. I’ve been contemplating soooo much !! So grateful for this video. I’m at work right now, trying to find the courage to keep a positive frequency and not beat myself up for the Hostile environment/negative actions of others. Making a list now 💖
I literally posted my first video where I’m actually talking to the camera and I didn’t not realize how nerve racking and how much anxiety it gave me. I did multiple voice overs then scrapped those and just kept practicing and tried to not take it so seriously. We all start somewhere, I’d rather know I tried and failed than not tried at all!
Thanks for the motivation and constantly encouraging us to level up!! 💫✨⚡️
I think my problem is energy... When I get off of work, I am so tired that I often fall asleep on my couch before I have the chance to work on my CZcams channel. I need to find ways to stay more energized throughout my entire day. Thank you so much for this video!
i definitely feel like i let any and every excuse stop me from doing things i really wanna do: people’s thoughts and opinions, time, money, work, you name it🙃🙃
slowly but surely trying to break out of my shell and overcome my social anxiety
You practice what you preach 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 To answer your question: one of my fears is raising my prices because I don't want people to think that I'm being "Hollywood" or insensitive to "accessibility". I'm getting better year, by year but that's just my truth 🙏🏾 Thank you for this reminder, came at the perfect time🙌🏾👑💫
woah I REALLY NEEDED THIS😫
It’s so crazy you’re talking abt fear because until this year I never believed it to be so powerful. That is literally how I went months without creating. One day my mind just kept saying “you’re not good enough” “no one is going to watch you” “you should quit” this would happen every time I tried to film, and it got to powerful that I wiped my makeup off, had a mental breakdown in February and haven’t filmed since. I just laid in bed everyday wanting to create and it just felt like the devil was clouding on top of me saying “don’t even think about it” 😞 it was such a horrible feeling. I don’t remember being that effected from fear before like that. Of course moving to a whole new state added more stress but fear def was the cause of me taking a break, I just didn’t know how to create without feeling good enough. I feel okay now, but I’m scared that it’ll start happening again. I don’t want to be inconsistent so I really want to work on building myself up, which is what I’ve been doing 🦋
My biggest struggle has been procrastination, fearing that I won’t be successful and I’ll embarrass myself
I swear it's like you read my thoughts. I just made a huge decision regarding my future and what I didn't want to study and my biggest fear was my family's reaction and instead, my mother consoled me and it felt amazing then here comes your video when my fear started to set in that I'd never equate to much if I didn't become this specific thing. thanks so much for this!!!
I'm so proud of all of US , Thank you beautiful angel this is my reminder 💞🌞🌸💓Luv YA !
So grateful to have found you!!! Currently trying to recover rom a severe Ed and self hate and your videos are so grounding and help so so much thank you xx
Me scared going into business administration because “I suck at math” seeing this gave me some hope!
If u want it bad, U can make it happen and improve 💗
I am really working on releasing my limiting beliefs and fears around pursuing my passion and even finding the right way for me to do so and also lack mentality around money. Love your videos so much Lynette!🥰
Usually don’t comment but I really enjoy your content. It’s motivating
Starting really is the hardest part! I finally started my YT channel even though its been a 10yr plus dream (yes I made a channel in 2009 w my bff lol) but now I'm finally doing it on my own and in my own terms. Much love to everyone fighting their fears and chasing their dreams
Thank you for sharing this! ❤️ my biggest hold up is lack of belief in myself. For so long I have told myself one story and now I was to venture out and try something different and not traditional..and that scares me 🙈
Money and age. I’m 39 with a family and home, so just turning and deciding that I want to do something different with my life is scary if it means that we’d have to struggle. I also haven’t pinpointed exactly what it is I want to do. But I’ve recently decided that I’m just going to dip my toes into everything! I currently work in the music industry and it’s amazing, but there isn’t a whole lot of growth in what I do. I’ve enrolled in college again. I have an art degree and am going back for a marketing degree. I’m trying to find programs and mentorships that can help me with a vision.
It's the fear of not knowing where to start and I just realized that I low key have a fear of people watching me fail
Struggles : boundaries & balance for example productivity vs burnout, consistency, criticism, confidence, & ofc anxiety. Stressful situations send me to the ER 🥲 but I think it’s cuz Idk how to handle them so I suppress terribly which ends terribly as well (nervous laugh) 😬
you are such a beautiful person, inside and outside. You go girl. Biggest inspiration
I am learning to not allow fear to hold me back from anything. Little by little I feel more free every single day. I have been thinking about getting into modeling, brand and commercial modeling as a side hustle and just for the experience. And it's way I can step out of my comfort zone.
All of your videos have paralleled what’s going on in my life. For once I’m grateful for the YT algorithm bc it brought me to your channel LOL. Another thing that’s helped me with fear is knowing that it’s just a mechanism to keep me safe, and that by going after my dreams I’m not going to die (even though my body makes me feel like it). Thanks again, love your videos 💕
Thank you so much, I needed this! 💚
There is so much good information here! Thank you for sharing and I hope you get all the success you deserve! 🙏😁
i really needed this, thankyou❤️ sending you any love and peace. It’s beautiful how we are all growing and blossoming
Great advice! People unfortunately have to do things when they are ready, because if someone were to have forced you to quit your job and do CZcams full-time, you may have been resentful when that fear did not go away. You are also correct about fear amplifying the more responsibility, or a bigger of a platform you have. A part of me needed to be reminded of this today, so thank you! I subscribed and wish you much success and happiness a long your journey! 💞🙏🏻🌻
"Do not let fear keep you in bed scrolling through Tik Tok watching other people live their dream lives..." whew that was a WORD! I would add Instagram, Facebook and CZcams to that as well. Sometimes what separates you from the next person you see living the life of their dreams is that they just took the risk and tried to go for it. But remember, YOUR dream life is not exactly the same as someone else. Embrace yours. Love yours.
This!!
The biggest thing is time, discipline and letting go of my thoughts of what people will think…and feeling like its not my best
Needed this!! Thank you for the motivation 💗😭
thank you for the motivation !
“Excuses are us rationalizing our fears and allowing ourselves become victim to it” ♡
Loved this video! We share the same views on not caring about what others think of you and going for what you truly want in life. I'm currently in the process of moving to another state to pursue my dreams and it is super nerve wrecking but still I move closer to the discomfort in hopes for a brighter future. Nothing worth doing is ever easy! and not living out your potential is hard to deal with. Thanks for the video! 💗💗💗
Really needed this. Funny it was uploaded on my birthday!! Thanks for your positivity
Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability on this topic. We are all human. Very motivating!!
Honestly what I needed to hear🙏🏾🦋
Ironically my procrastinating/safe side of my brain wanted me to skip this video in order to further the cycle! I’m so glad I listened to the inner me and clicked!
my biggest fear is always am I doing it the right way 😪❤️ ive been following your journey and I just want to say im so proud of you xxx
It's so helpful to realize how short life is because other opinions really should not affect our life and decisions
I really needed this... like, my anxiety and overthinking of doing the thing I want the most has been kicking my butt lately, but this video makes me want to just stand up and go for it!
I've been looking for signs to start my youtube channel and this has been the biggest one yet.
Your videos are truly inspirational, thank you
I literally feel like you’re talking to me personally it’s crazy because I have been struggling with all of these things for so long and only recently started to work on them. Thank you for this video, it has helped more than you know
I needed this. Thank you so much❤️
this video was so well spoken 🦋
Thanks for this wonderful encouragement! Your hair is #goals!!! 👏🏽😍
can you talk about how to find what you're passionate about?
glad i’m not the only one lol
i have no dreams or ambitions, so there’s nothing rlly i can work towards
THANK YOU 😘 I Needed to here this. I've been an artist since I was a little girl. Ever since I went to college I haven't spent as much time on my art as I want to. But I'm working on that
Continue your art :)
