[Discussion] I need help breaking out of my cycle of slacking off.
I have the biggest dream of making it in music, but I found recently that I’m all bark but no bite.
I find myself constantly dreaming of situations where I do make it, but I never execute. I don’t just want to be a dreamer, I want to be a doer, but I’m always holding myself back.
I’ll make a song one day, and completely forget that repetition is the key to mastery, where I’ll go on an extremely long hiatus rather than constantly making new music every day.
words cannot explain how much I want this dream. I talk to the right people, and I get so much advice, because I’m always telling people about how I’ll “make it” in music but I just never do what I’m supposed to do, and stay in bed and doom scroll all day.
I also remind myself that one day I waste is a day less that I’ll be able to put towards making it, because I’m not going to live forever. but it just doesn’t work.
I just need someone to give me a reality check, a slap in the face. as nice or as cruel as it can be. thats all I ask for. because honestly, thats the only way I’ll ever get up and do something.
so if you guys can throw some reality checks in the comments for me, I’d really appreciate it. because I really want to understand the value of the time that I’m wasting, and the people that are surpassing my spot by the second because they want my dream more than me.
thanks ❤️
