Reflection on my current state and encouraging myself to continue content creation

In most regards, my life is going well right now.

I am becoming the person I want to be, I am doing the things I want to do, I am building up the skills that I want to have.

Things are looking promising; however, the rate I am progressing has been too slow.

I am close to 25 years old now, and I still do not have a stable job or growing career.

I am trying my best to enter into a career of content creation - something I know that is extremely competitive and doesn't yield much unless you are among the top creators, but I also know the benefits and its potential for exponential growth.

I feel like much of my life has been wasted - but that's also not entirely true either. I have done great and amazing things, and I often overlook this fact when I compare myself to others.

Social media has corrupted my brain and has put me down. But it also spurs me to take action and to realize what is possible.

I would say the other creators are not my enemies, they are mostly my friends. The us vs them mentality won't get me far. I shouldn't get jealous or envious and let this crush my dreams. Instead I should be inspired by others and use it to better myself. This is the healthier way to think.

Anyways, the goal is to preserve. I think this is something I can accomplish and do well. Just need to keep improving my skills and not give up.

Money is an issue, but I should just stay committed, do research in this particular field, don't start, set up the proper systems, and then start reaping the remuneration.
