your vision > your numbers
|
Hey Reader! Today I wanted to remind you that the great things you're envisioning for yourself are infinitely more important than your statistical "successes". I saw this YouTube Short recently. And I thought ough that's so real. Numbers follow us absolutely everywhere don't they... and most of the time they carry so much shame. They restrict us and keep us stuck! I'm always amazed by that type of person who is fueled by their own inner creative vision. Someone who doesn't let numbers get to them. They already KNOW their art, their business, their creativity is more than enough. They already trust in their own worth! They don't rely on getting lots of views and followers to feel worthy. It doesn't matter to them whether they stick to habits and "do [thing] X times per week". They put trust in their long-term growth. They never rush through something, because they know their worth doesn't depend on how quickly they finish things. They don't care about achieving X number of things by a certain age. They trust their own vision for life. They know they're gonna make the right decisions for *them*, and it doesn't matter if others judge them. I'd be lying if I said I didn't carry an immense amount of guilt around these things. I'm sure it's normal. But we can choose to be like that person above. The real measure of creative success isn’t in analytics. It’s in the work itself. The work that feels right to you, that means something, that comes from a place of authenticity, connection, and self-expression. Trust your vision and see where it takes you. It might actually change your perception of "success". Much love ✌🏻 Damon 🌱 Stuff I'm Doing Recently 🌱March Week #1 Find me on: Instagram | TikTok |

Hi Reader! How are you doing? You know, I think I'm hoping that if I just keep making content on the internet... I'll eventually realise that I can just talk about whatever I want. Like... I'm the one in charge here! I could make a vlog or sing a song or become a beauty influencer 💅🏻 It doesn't have to be clever or niche or useful. With that in mind, what I'm ACTUALLY thinking about right now is this: I hate feeling like life is an optimisation problem. Where you have to do everything as...
Hi Reader! How's your week going? I'm always adding to my collection of things from around the internet that made me feel touched and/or inspired. (The collection box being my photo gallery 😅) I thought I’d share a few recents in case you needed a bit of inspiration, distraction, or delight. 🐶 This really beautiful animation hollywarbs afraid, but facing it . . . guitar is a track called ‘plus’ from the album ‘pas chassé’ by loyalty freak music. I combined it with audio recordings from my...
Hi Reader! How are you doing? I'm back, I recovered from surgery, and I'm ready to get to work! 😤 There was a part one to this email (you can read it here) and now I'd like to share part 2. Honestly, we’re about halfway through the year and it’s time to step things up. We all know how important it is to have confidence + good self-esteem. It includes beliefs about how skilled we are, how capable we are, plus whether we are likeable. It affects every area of your life. ESPECIALLY creative...
