Hi everyone! Lola here!
Before I start, I'd just like to remind you that if you'd like me to make more posts on making your dreams come true, just post a question in the comments and I'll gladly make a post on it. ^^
Procrastination...
We all know that word, right? I do it a lot. And it's a real problem when you have life-long goals to reach.
Well, today I decided not to procrastinate.
My dad went to a meeting for this job, so I'd decided, once he told me about that, to make a video while he was gone.
Well, I failed. I'm really angry, right now, to be honest. I wanted a new Youtube video up by tomorrow, make it a weekend thing. People would get home on Friday evening and chill out to some crazy Frenchie content.
My dad is a technician. He specializes in computers and has worked with some major companies, whenever they had problems.
Well, since he wasn't there to help me record audio (because this video will be in the form of a song), I had to do it myself.
I don't know why, but the audio wouldn't work. I've seen my dad fix these problems when he helped me with similar problems, so I did what I could, but nothing made it work.
As a result, he came back home as I tried to figure out the problem and I went to my room and started crying with anger. If I make videos in the presence of my parents, they'll have a go at me for wasting my time, or as my dad says, "finding a diversion from reality".
Basically, I won't have a video up for tomorrow, and it really really annoys me. I can't ask my dad to help me with the audio now, because of what I've just said above, and I certainly won't be able to do anything tomorrow, because my mum is coming back from Italy and will get all dramatic about my current situation.
I often think to myself that Youtube is holding me back from doing stuff, but I need to make at least something, once in a while, of which I can actually be proud of. Because, to be honest, I feel it's all I really know how to do.
I guess I'll just have to postpone the video.. as I always do.
Your turn to share! Have you ever had small obstacles get in the way of reaching your goal? What kind? Did you make it, in the end?
Thanks for reading; keep on dreaming!

Sorry to hear about you not being able to get a new video uploaded, I can understand the frustration from it. I find it terrible that your parents don't seem to support your ambitions and assist you whenever you need it, not having parents support you can be a real drain on motivation and will power.
ReplyDeleteI don't think youtube is holding you back at all, if anything it's allowing you to show of your talents like singing, the only time it would be holding you back is if you were working at a factory full time.
My dad is not easy to decipher. He says I don't practice my instruments (which is true), but when I do, he says I should be doing other stuff. It's weird. .-.
DeleteI don't know what he thinks about my projects, he never seems to think the same, so no, I'm not easily motivated by him.
My mum seems a bit more interested by the result of my work, but neither of the two actually tell me I'm doing a good job or give me advice. ._.
It is actually a big problem for me. ^^;
Thanks. :)
I thought so, it's no wonder most of the motivation comes from your followers, friends and people who you look up to alot. I don't want to say that it's your parents that are holding you down, but it does feel that way to me.
DeleteMaybe, but I also need to learn to motivate myself and not always depend on my parents. .-.
DeleteYeah that is true as well, i've had to learn that the hard way when my parents split up over 2 years ago, but it has helped me overlook my flaws and instead use my strengths and talents to keep me going, and as i've said, always taking small steps and never giving up on a dream.
