The trap of 'high quality' taught by Mr. Beast. My current state of being unfinished, turning anxiety into vitality

1. Introduction: The trap of 'facing yourself'

I don't want to spend the next 40 years of my life worrying about money while living an ordinary life. Thinking that, I set aside time to 'face myself head-on' to change my current situation.

However, I realized a cruel truth. No matter how much I face my weaknesses and anxieties alone in my room, reality doesn't move forward even by a millimeter. My anxiety just grew, and the energy to break free didn't come from anywhere.

2. The truth about Mr. Beast: What you should aim for is not 'high quality'

That was when I encountered the words of Mr. Beast, the world's top YouTuber.

“Your goal is to make the best video possible. Not the most beautiful video, not the highest quality video.”

I once had the experience of despairing and stopping my actions after comparing my work to the 'high-quality videos' of professional creators. They were making 'finished products' with overwhelming skill. I was trying to beat that.

However, Mr. Beast asserts that 'it doesn't need to be high quality (i.e., neatly polished).' I thought seriously about what 'the best content' actually means for me right now.

3. Using an unfinished documentary as a weapon (The gritty challenge on X)

The answer I found was 'to show my current clumsy struggle exactly as it is.' I gave up on 'high-quality, polished content' and decided to take gritty action. The first step was proactive interaction on X (formerly Twitter).

To be honest, I was intimidated at first. When replying to posts by influencers with tens of thousands of followers, my hands would almost stop, thinking, 'They probably won't even pay attention to someone like me...'

However, as I continued to reply little by little, even if it was clumsy, a change occurred. People started to remember me, and I began to receive direct replies. From there, regardless of whether we followed each other, I started to move proactively, offering sincere congratulations on someone's happy news or reaching out to people I remembered.

Then, surprisingly, the opportunities to be followed or spoken to increased visibly. The 500 people I am connected with now are precious connections I never could have gained while I was alone in my room worrying about 'high-quality things.'

4. Conclusion: Isn't it scarier not to act?

Your level will never rise unless you actually do things. By stacking small success experiences, I have become much more 'active' than before.

It's strange; while I was facing myself in my head, it was so painful, but now that I've started taking action myself, even if it's clumsy, I feel a 'vitality' to break free from anxiety welling up from within.

Will you continue to be afraid of the anxiety that will last forever if you do nothing? Or will you take action, even if it's clumsy, to cause change and resolve that anxiety with your own hands?

When I thought about it that way,“Isn't 'not acting' much scarier?”

I will continue to hit walls. I might not be able to write polished know-how. But I won't quit. While sharing this 'unfinished current state' in real-time, I will continue to deliver the process of leveling up.
