Throughout this year, I started a new cycle of reading, and the combination of the knowledge I acquired gave me the courage to create this website and begin a process that I call liberation. Liberation from the fear of defeat, liberation from the fear of being criticized.
When I mentioned defeat, it's worth remembering that the greatest defeat would have been not starting at all. I, myself, would have been my biggest critic and obstacle to my victory.
When I mentioned victory, it's worth remembering that the simple act of finding the courage to start this work was already a victory in itself.
When I mentioned criticized, it's worth remembering that criticism will come from people with different backgrounds and realities than yours, and what we need to do is channel these criticisms in a way that they contribute to our development.
If you've read this far, I've had another victory, as you're probably thinking of an idea that, for similar reasons, you haven't put into action yet.
If we believe that what we're going to do can help someone, it should be done. If we have an idea and believe that someone can benefit from it, why not put it into practice?
Even though the internet and the physical world are already flooded with good people, good ideas, good products, and good work, I believe that each person has their own way of explaining, their own vocabulary, their own examples, and their own charisma, just as their product will be unique. There will undoubtedly be people who resonate with their method or product.
Thinking this way has also increased my desire to share a bit about my own story and help motivate others. Most of the time, what we need is to know that it's possible to change our lives, that it's possible to grow honestly without harming others. We need to know that there is a world beyond the one we live in, and we can be a part of that world.
Throughout my life, I've had numerous opportunities for growth and have been able to contribute to the growth of many people. However, I still feel that I could have contributed much more if I had been able to put this content online. This is the work I am starting now through this website and my YouTube channel.
If you've read this far, I hope I've made you think or rethink about things you wish to do and haven't had the courage to do yet.
