Oh man, am I really becoming one of these people!?
I've been experimenting with creating a lot of short form content both in video form on TikTok, Youtube shorts, and Instagram as well as Twitter. If you like my work and are on those platforms I encourage you to check it out using the links above.
**But promoting my stuff is not what this post is about.**
I'm going to be honest, I was quite hesitant to spend time on this stuff. Like does the world really need another talking head trying to become important? It's why I've largely not participated in social media for the past few years.
However, against my own resistance I kept getting guidance to try it out when my mind was quiet.
No thanks, I’m good! I’ll take a hard pass on having lots of people grasp at you for your time and attention which is what having an audience really feels like. I’m content just working on my evolution and being an under the radar entrepreneur while I start a family.
And then this pull would come up again and again in my awareness or the clues that reality would show me. At times, it kind of felt like Michael Singer being guided to start a spiritual community against his will when all he wanted to do is hang out and meditate in the woods. It turns out this is what the start of service often looks like.
Over the past few weeks, I finally gave it a whirl and it turns out that I really enjoy all this short form content stuff. One of my favorite things is to be in the spontaneous creative flow where ideas and connections just explode out of me.
There's something about short form media and video specifically, that bring forth that feeling of spontaneous flow that I love so much. I feel very alive and connected when I am in front of a camera. Kind of like writing, I don’t really rehearse, outline, or plan much besides the topic and things just flow in the moment. It’s a wonderful experience.
