The 2%

I shoot a lot of footage for my vlog.

When it comes time to edit my weekly episode, I pour through my footage to see what’s interesting enough to piece together into a story. I then trim, trim, trim until I’m left with a 10 minute-ish episode representing my entire week.

I haven’t done the math, but what makes it into the vlog is probably 2% of my life, if that.

If I ventured a guess, 2% of your life is unique an exciting enough to share with the world. You aren’t as boring as you think.

Some times we let ordinary-syndrome (something I just invented) hold us back from establishing ourselves as experts, putting ourselves out in the world, and becoming more confident.

Let me remind you, you aren’t as ordinary as you think.

Get out there and be you.
