I am having a blast...But it seems barely moving...

I finished filming my second video a month and a half ago, but it’s still not out the door. If I’m serious about this YouTube adventure and hitting milestones, I know I need to buckle down and stay consistent. I've already made it past so many hurdles—learning editing, figuring out the key aspects of making a decent video. I’m practicing my voice on my other two channels, getting comfortable. But for this main channel? I’ve been lagging, and honestly, it’s frustrating.

I told my wife yesterday that if I can’t make progress soon, maybe it’s better to close up shop and focus on something else. But thinking about it today, I realize that’s a lie—and deep down, I know it is. I'm not here for the money; I'm here to bring value to people who've had experiences like mine, to hopefully help someone out. There's no way I’m throwing in the towel just because I haven’t quite nailed time management yet.

It’s hard juggling two kids full-time, running a business, and trying to make YouTube work. But successful people don’t quit when it gets hard; they push through. I need to listen to my own advice here. "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." – Winston Churchill.

I’ve had some personal losses this year, and I think that’s been taking a toll on my mental health. But I’m as resilient as ever because I’m not doing this just for me. I’m doing this for others— for the world. Like Jim Rohn said, “If you bring value, you will be accepted.” So, it’s time to buckle down and press on.

I’ve been having a blast on my other two channels, and I need to bring that same energy here. I know this is a long-term investment, and it’s important to pace myself and stay in the game. "It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop." – Confucius.

I hope everyone out there is doing well. I’m always praying for peace in this world. Now, it's time to get to work and make this happen. I’ll be posting more soon.

Yours truly,
Destin
