12.02.2023. Why keep your phone away?

I have 22 subscribers from 9 countries 🌎 at this point. In my newsletter, I share 5 exciting things every week. Please feel free to forward this to your friends.

Let's begin ✌️

🧠 An article that changed my way of writing -

"Explorers are bad leaders - by Derek Sivers"

In this short article, the writer explains how explorers try a bunch of stuff half-heartedly, experiment, and keep changing paths. It is better not to pay attention to them.

On the other hand, a leader sticks to a subject, points in a direction, and says - 'Folks, this is where we are going. This is how we will get there. This is what we need and this is our reward once we get there.' It's easy to follow a leader.

Even Eminem in the song - Lucky you by Joyner feat. Eminem says -

"But nothin' is feeling like anyone has any fuckin' ability
To even stick to a subject, it's killin' me"

🧿 What I'm currently learning -

I am currently learning final cut pro to take my video editing to a higher level. So far I only used iMovies which is only good enough to make basic videos.

Here's the free video I'm learning from a channel I like -->

In the beginning, everything seems scary but once you sit alone and practice alongside a tutorial, everything seems doable. Go ahead and open that tutorial of that thing you always wanted to learn and just start!

🙇🏻‍♂️ Quote that I'm pondering -

"Desire is a contract you make that you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want."

- Naval

🎙️ Podcast I listened to on a long walk -

It consists of many interesting topics like the importance of saying no, staying away from social media and current affairs, the importance of friends, and relationships, and how to take advice from your mentors without actually talking to them 😉.

🚶☀️ Small task for you -

Austin Kleon says - 'Demons hate fresh air.' Almost every successful person we know spends time away from cellphone's distractions and develops ideas when the mind is not cluttered. Go on a long walk alone and you'll come back happier with a clearer mind.

That's all for this week.

See you next week.
