00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.600
You are what you think if I think that's what the actual cause is.
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:04.639
You are what you think.
00:00:04.959 --> 00:00:06.000
You are what you think.
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:07.519
I like it.
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:11.279
I you know, I actually just posted a video kind of like that.
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:16.000
Um I was I was in the car waiting for Kevin to get out of school.
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:25.519
And sometimes I don't I feel like I'm not grateful enough for like the things I have and for what I have, all that.
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:32.560
And I just took a moment and I'm like, I was looking at my TikTok account.
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:37.200
I was like, I have a hundred and thirty thousand followers.
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:41.520
Like, could you like could you just like put that like in in your head?
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:45.200
Like 130,000 people chose to follow you.
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:48.719
You go to Instagram, I have almost 60,000 followers.
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:54.399
Like that is a freaking like football stadium, which is absolutely like insane.
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:55.359
Yeah, that's crazy.
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.039
That's a couple football stadiums.
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:06.480
So I literally like I popped up my phone and I was like, take this from like the uh a ninth grade like dropout.
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:08.879
Like you can do whatever.
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:10.480
I don't remember exactly what I said.
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:11.439
You guys can go back to it.
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.359
But I'm like I'm like, you are whatever you think you are.
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:15.760
Yeah.
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:18.879
Like I I I mean, I've said it in like previous videos.
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:20.719
I felt like I was always the black sheep of the family.
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:25.280
I felt like cousins, like Theas kind of always like looked at me from over their shoulder.
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.239
Like, you know, I was just like the rebel all the time.
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:33.840
Um and and I'm like, and and I'm here now.
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:34.799
Like exactly.
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:45.680
I literally I influence people, like I hate to say like I'm an influencer, but I really I influence people to do things like every day, to buy stuff.
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:52.640
To like, if I make a coffee and I post a video about it, I'll have immediately 10, 20 comments, people saying, like, okay, now I'm making a coffee.
00:01:52.719 --> 00:02:01.680
Like I influence people to do things like every single day, to you know, wear whatever they want to wear as like plus size girls, things like that.
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:10.719
Like, it is amazing what you can do when you decide, like, I'm not gonna be what other people said I was gonna be.
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:12.800
Like, I'm no longer like a black sheep.
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.599
I'm no, I'm I'm no longer gonna like say, like, you know, I can't do it.
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.439
I dropped out of high school or whatever.
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:35.599
Like, I went to the ninth grade, and I literally go to events with like people that, or I mean, we hang out with people when we go to events that literally have their bachelor's, their masters, and like all of these crazy things.
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:41.680
So, I mean, you kind of have to stop like doubting yourself and just go for it.
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:47.439
And I feel like when I was little, I kind of always knew that that's what I wanted to do.
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:51.680
Not exactly like influencing all that, because that wasn't like really a thing.
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:56.400
But I remember when like the first phones came out that had like a camera.
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:57.759
You were recording yourself?
00:02:57.919 --> 00:02:59.599
I would record myself.
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:06.560
I'm pretty sure everybody has that trait that are like big on social media when like back in the day they were all recording themselves.
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:10.319
Yeah, and there's actually a cousin of mine actually has a video.
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:15.360
She had a camera, you know, those cameras that like you would open those like recorders.
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:23.599
I got into hers one time and um I started recording myself dancing.
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.560
And like till this day, like my family still makes fun of me.
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:35.280
They're like, remember you were like shaking your shaking your butt on the camera, like when you were they probably thought I was gonna be a stripper.
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:42.080
No, not a content creator, but like I loved recording myself.
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:48.800
Like I didn't think of like I wouldn't think of the consequences like later, like, oh my family's gonna find it and they're gonna make fun of me.
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:50.159
I just loved recording myself.
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:56.240
You aren't shy, and now that I'm finally like not shy to do it, I just like I can't, I can't stop.
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.039
I record 20 plus videos a day.
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:00.400
Yeah, that's crazy.
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:01.360
Literally.
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:08.319
So whatever you think about on a daily basis, daily basis is what your world is gonna become.
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:09.120
Yeah.
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:16.560
So the seeds you plant in your mind, once they sprout, depending if they're good or bad, that's that's on you.
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:17.120
Yeah.
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:21.279
And sometimes they won't sprout till six months, a year, a couple years.
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:27.600
But once they do, man, I hope you planted something right because you know, that's what it starts with.
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.759
Just a thought, then an action, then it becomes reality.
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:37.439
Then like 10 years later, you're like, dang, man, that one decision has led up to all this.
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:38.720
I'm just like, dang.
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:50.560
I feel like I spent way too much time overthinking things, like doubting myself, um, you know, like saying, like, who's gonna watch me?
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:52.160
Like who in the beginning?
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:53.680
Like in the beginning.
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:58.959
Um when people make fun of you, like, oh, you just got two likes, too, yeah, yeah.
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:04.000
So it's like you spend all this time like just thinking, what are they gonna say?
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:22.319
What are they gonna think now that I'm here and I like I think back and I'm like, okay, they're obviously they're probably still talking about it, they're probably still making fun of it, they're probably, but like if I would have not cared back then, like I also try not to think of it that way.
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:26.399
You know, you can't just like spend your life like regretting what you didn't do in the past.
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:36.800
But I'm like, you know, I could have started my content creation journey like so long ago if I didn't spend so much time thinking I can't do it, they're gonna make fun of me.
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:37.759
Who's gonna watch me?
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:38.399
You know?
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:43.519
You just think about what other people are gonna be like, man, they look ridiculous.
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:49.519
Because like we are, we all have like that cringe start.
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:59.839
I feel like even like influencers that I follow now that have like millions of followers, like they'll post a clip of like their very first like vlogs and stuff, and it's like, yeah.
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:01.040
Came along with it.
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:02.160
We're pulling teeth.
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.360
But like now it's just you know, it becomes like so natural.
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:11.199
So obviously, you know, you're not gonna be perfect from like the first video, even the 20th video.
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.399
Like, like you said, it could take you years, months, years.
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:15.279
Who knows?
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:20.959
Um, and then you're really like, okay, I was like, I was meant to be here.
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:22.240
Yep, exactly.
