Trying Something New

   So I would say my kung fu has taken a bit of a backseat this past week. I decided to try a new possibility for myself. In the sense of career. I am still going to look and work electrical jobs when I can get them, but I’d figure I finally attempt something I have been hmmm and ahhhing about for the past 10 years. That is making a YouTube channel.

  I have been looking at YouTube for so long and learning how some channels succeed and how some fail, or even disappear. I would say I am not trying this as a get quick rich idea. I am doing this because, I have always wanted to try, but did not think I could actually succeed. I have seen so many rise and fall of so many YouTube channels and they all have the same pattern. 

  If the channel was disciplined in releasing often and putting the time and effort into editing, wether it be hired or done by the creator; they all became a bigger channel that more people wanted to see, and as soon as they pulled back and lost their discipline their channel died, or fell of for multiple other reasons.

  I never ever tried, because I always thought I don’t have the charisma that the successful one’s do, but I learned that you can still become successful through developing your charisma and the content you want to show. Passion.

  I found myself diving into all of this and really trying to learn how to edit and upload, thumbnail art. It consumed me entirely, and then I chose to ignore kung fu. Which is the wrong choice. I know for a successful channel it could possibly take me up to 3 years to finally start seeing results. 

  It does not mean I still can’t keep kung fu in my life. I planned my days poorly and filled my days with laziness. I did do a lot of research and poured a lot of time on starting my channel and learning right now how to do some basic editing, but I was not dedicate all day doing this. I rested and watched my YouTube I like to watch.

  I will for sure fail any type of YouTube career if I follow this path. Kung fu makes me a better person when I train and practice kung fu. When I make it apart of my life not only at work but on my down time especially. 

  I definitely made progress on my YouTube channel, but I fell off on my kung fu progress. I’m sorry I let you all down in that aspect and I am sorry to myself for depriving myself of the great  opportunities and experiences that kung fu offers me.

  As you might of already guessed but no real number change this week. So I will say thank you for being on this journey with me and reading my blogs week after week. I will start making better choices, but right now my words don’t mean much right now. Action is what will set me free.
