How to Make Achieving Your Goals Dramatically Easier
Hello, this is Maru.
The other day, I had my
first experience
writing a paid article.
The reason I was able to take such a bold step was because of these words from Nao Kurosaki.
“Congratulations on not selling.”
This wasn't sarcasm or anything like that;
it was nothing but praise for taking the first step.
When I read this article,
I realized I had some ridiculous
assumptions within myself.
As a complete amateur who just started,
with no name recognition
and hardly any followers,
there's no way a paid article would sell.
Yet, I was assuming it would sell and
thinking, “Is the current me okay?”
I was overthinking it.
I was thinking, “What will people who read it think?”
Man, honestly,
I felt embarrassed when I realized it.
Worrying about it
and agonizing over it were both off the mark.
That is several times more embarrassing
than the article not selling.
I'm glad I realized my misunderstanding. lol
While I was laughing out loud by myself,
I thought, I should have the experience of “It didn't sell!” too.
That's what I thought.
I had thought, “Paid articles are too high a hurdle!”
but once I thought,
“Let's have the experience of it not selling!”
I was able to do it.
With just this small difference,
things I couldn't do become possible.
The power of words is truly amazing,
and the words of those running at the forefront really hit home.
Words that move me
when I'm afraid to take action.
That is extremely important,
and by moving together among such people,
I naturally get closer to the person I want to be.
If you want to change yourself,
you need to take actions different from usual.
But that is truly scary.
It also takes courage.
That's why I think you shouldn't try to do it alone.
Diving into a place you're not used to
and experiencing discomfort
is too high a hurdle to clear on your own.
At the very least, I'm a coward, so it's impossible for me.
Rely on someone
and ask for their help.
I hope that by growing myself,
I can return the favor.
Thank you
for reading until the end.
If you could leave a like, comment, or follow,
it would be a great encouragement for the future!
