Youtube drama and future proving yourself.

You might have noticed that the creator of the biggest youtube channel, PewdiePie, is complaining (again) about how youtube is changing. Youtube can change it's algorithms whenever it want's and that can effect all the video creators on youtube.

The first thing to do when you are dependent on one media outlet is to diversify your media outlets.
If you are dependent on one thing in your life and you have no control over it changes you might want to change that. Diversify.

Another great youtube creator with a big following is Casey Neistat. He was doing one of the most popular vlogs on youtube and now has stopped it because it wasn't a challenge anymore and is looking to challenge himself to become better as a content creator.

Yes, you need to keep challenging yourself to improve and find new challenges in order to keep on growing.

Still, no matter what you do when you look at everything at a micro level you will see ups and downs and when you keep focussing on the when things go down you can become frustrated or feel like giving up.

I am focussed here on the long game in this article. If you want to have a sustainable lifestyle you need to take a step back sometimes and let small things that can change all the time be and focus on the big picture. Maybe you will find that most things you were worried about don't matter at all. It is easy to get lost in unnecessary details. Focus on the long game if you want sustainability.

Challenging yourself means that you are taking risks. When you keep taking small risks that put you to the test you will be ready when big changes come and need to take bigger risks.

You will need to reinvent yourself from time to time, not only when things seem to go drastically bad and need drastic change but also when you don't feel challenged anymore. When things get too comfortable it can reduce the passion you put into your work.

When changes can come at any moment it is important that you keep an eye out always at the horizon and scan for trends. Some will seem important but will turn out not to be and some can start small but grow fast. Watch for patterns instead of single big issues that seem to blow up. Get multiple opinions and viewpoints before you consider changing things because of it.
The most emotional stories are not always the most accurate stories as you know.


These are the 4 things that will future proof you for changes in your life:

1. Keep an eye on the horizon.
2. Don't judge incoming info on face value.
3. Challenge yourself.
4. Reinvent yourself from time to time.

Be the best you every day! Have a great day.
