Consistency? What Drives You?
I often get complimented on how I am consistent
with my YouTube Channel + social media pages whilst having a full time,
demanding job (which I love, might I add!). I wanted to discuss today what
drives me and maybe you can think about the same for yourself and please, share
your thoughts below!
Whether it is your faith in God or your
business, we have to know why we do
what we do and how it will benefit those around us and ourselves. Because
giving back is a beautiful thing, right!
I will share below what keeps me consistent,
but in all of this it is great to remember that it is ok to take a break and
slow down. We do not want to burn out in the process of being great and working
hard! Just make sure that you bounce back!
Working for God first is my ultimate motivator
and pushes me to do better every time. The below bible verse encourages me:
Colossians
3:23 (NIV)
Whatever you do,
work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters
1.
I think about what I enjoy and try and give this back to my viewers.
For example, when I am
enjoying a new found YouTube channel, I like to see consistent videos that are
quality, straight to the point and relatable. So this is what I work on, I
invest in my filming equipment and try my best to produce an enjoyable video.
2.
If I cannot put that much effort into my relationship with God, I
am not doing it for anything else!
I see it like this – If I
cannot wake up super early in the morning to pray, then I will not wake up
super early for anything else. I do not want to reach a point where my
relationship with God comes after my business.
3.
I think about why I started in the first place!
My vision for my YouTube
channel has always been about my hair journey and love for healthy hair. I
became passionate about making faith videos when I grew in it. But I remain
driven because I know that someone
will benefit from it. The Holy Spirit is a beautiful blessing and always leads
us in the way that we should go + in every
area of our lives! He cares about every aspect of us, including the next blog
post or video that should be put out.
4. I am constantly in
competition with myself, pushing myself to do better. I know my vision and I am determined to get there. Life is too
short to hold myself back. In this season, I am available to work on what I
enjoy. Seasons to come, I may not be able to so I will keep pushing!
5. I cheer myself on. You already know that God is your biggest fan, but just be ready
for those that you expect to support you to end up not doing so. Sometimes you
may post a video or picture and not get as many views or likes as you expected.
Do not let that discourage or stop you. For years I did not get the engagement
I wanted, but I saw my vision and kept going. Now there are so many
opportunities because I chose to be bold and keep going.
6. I stay true to myself + to
God. Do not sell out because of money or
recognition. Be authentic and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you.
7. I set goals! Write them down if you have to. This will make it plain to you
where you want to go and by which time; you will be left with the choice to
make the moves to get there.
8. In order to grow, I get out
of my comfort zone! Socialise more, go to
bloggers events and collaborate. There is enough room in the air for all the
birds to freely fly and there is enough money in the world for you to all get you some! Supporting each other
is something that we need to do more of. I recently joined Create With Words,
which encouraged me to collaborate with people that I would never have met, had
I kept in my comfort zone.
9. I love what I do! People can tell if you do not enjoy it! Do not forget your vision
and passion, make it your own and do it in your own way. For example, there are
probably millions of twist out videos on YouTube, but I create my videos with
my own unique twist.
10. I Support + encourage. Because it is not all about you! Identify where
people in the same field as you can improve and encourage them to do so.
I hope this motivated you and pushed you to do
better. I pray for growth, consistency and passion in every area of your life.
In all things, God first.
