𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀. 1. You're afraid of writing that post 2. You think you're not good enough. 3. You're scared of replying in the comments. 4. You don't want to be called a FRAUD. Well, spoiler alert ⚠ ↓ I was afraid too, but I slayed my fears and I got the WIN. Here's my story... ___________________ It was a cold Friday night, 11:32 pm. I was sipping my white coffee when I saw the post on X. I almost spilled the coffee, as I cursed out loudly... Holy sh*ttt! It was a $10,000 video contest, 10 f*cking grand! One winner, winner takes it all. Is this my big break? I called my buddy/videographer, King Anyi, and shouted excited over the phone... "𝙔𝙤, 𝙗𝙧𝙤... 𝙒𝙚'𝙫𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙖 𝙗𝙞𝙜 𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙡𝙚𝙩'𝙨 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘 𝙩𝙤𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧". But he said he wasn't in town, and would recommend someone else to me. I didn't want someone else, I wanted someone who will sacrifice skin in the game, I wanted King Anyi, so... I gave up on the whole idea, I was afraid I couldn't pull off creating a great content with Anyi not being in town. Don't stop reading ↓↓ ___________________ Then on Sunday, after the preacher's sermon, I grabbed my fears by the balls. I called Anyi 📱, took the recommendation, and set up a new plan to create a $10k winning content. - I had 5 days to do this. - I had a $150 budget. - I had a team of 5. - I was anxious. But here is what we did ↓ • I wrote the scripts and did my facials on Monday. • I went to the saloon to do a box braid with Brazillian wool on Tuesday. • Rehearsed and spent the whole of Wednesday shooting the video with my team. • Sent the video files 📂 interstate to Anyi on Thursday, to edit (5+ hours drive). • Got the deliverable video file 12:00pm on Friday from Anyi, and submitted before the 05:00pm deadline. It was a "fast and furious" kind of production. I felt like Vin Diesel and a bit of Dwayne Johnson! Did we win? Read on to find out ↓ ___________________ I had just got back home from watching the games with my brothers on Saturday. I had pasta cooking on the stove when I saw the announcement post. The results were out. I LOST. I f*cking lost. I gave this my all. → Time. → Money. → Sleepless nights. And I FAILED. The next two days were hell. I wanted to crawl into a hole and hide. I felt I wasn't good enough. I felt like a fraud. So I picked up my writing pad and went back to creating content (My 9 to 5). Then it happened ↓ ___________________ Another opportunity to win $2000 grand prize from @SamuelXeus's contest. I had my doubts and bias, and remember... I had crushed my fears earlier by the balls and it punched me in the face, so... → What do I have to lose now 🤷‍♀️? I wrote the thread, as creatively as I could, and attached my video to it (My pinned post). I submitted alongside 500+ other participants. I didn't think I could win, at least not the $2k grand prize. Guess what??? ___________________ I WON! (I'm tearing up right now 🤧). I f*cking won the grand PRIZE. I cried, I laughed, I cried again. It still feels surreal. An underdog. This was not the end ↓↓ ___________________ 2 hours later, I won the grand prize of another writing contest. Currently in collaboration with top Web3 projects, creating content. There's more to say, but... I want to stop the tears from pouring out... lol 😂 ☺. 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘂𝗽. Grab your fears by the balls. Do that thing, what's the worst that could happen? Instead of thinking → what if I don't win? Think → what if I win? Yeah, you might not win, but... Just keep showing up, eventually you will win. My big win is coming, your big win is coming. And I believe this with all my being. You've got this Champ!

@QingTheCreator_ You dropped this 👑

Reading this and I can only recall a recent saga on CTNG. Well, here's for all those on the pedestal of success and getting the feel of the euphoria 👇 "Bro, take care of your home first before impressing the streets. The streets are quick to forget, and they don’t care about you. Trust me."

@marablossom “…like me” She had too, impersonations are getting out of hand. But fear not, it is I.
