The only social proof I will ever need.

@FinGodTheGreat (Love your medium articles btw)

Your bloodline is always watching.
Don't do anything dumb.

When you finally get over your fear of posting content online.

[Godfrey The Great @FinGodTheGreat]

"Sunday’s on the phone to Monday.
Tuesday’s on the phone to me."

These sentences in most contexts would be considered stupid.

In the context of music, they’re considered genius.

Maybe your message isn’t the problem — maybe it’s the medium.

If you're not going to do it daily.
Don't do it at all.

Imagine if the songs on Sgt. Pepper didn’t tell any stories.

Would it have been as popular?

[Godfrey The Great @FinGodTheGreat]

Write more.
Write for no reason.
Write to remove stress.
Write to solve a problem.
Write to unwind your mind.
Write to destroy distractions.
Write to read, and write to learn.
A simple writing habit changes everything.

Try it.

The most popular songs are the most relatable.

If popularity was purely based on musical excellence, Abbey Road, Beethoven, and Roundabout would still be listened to on repeat.

Instead we’re stuck with soy boys singing about how they can’t get any pussy and girls who keep being cheated on by Chads.

Keep this in mind the next time you create a piece of content that fails to pop off.

There's only one reason why you aren't disciplined.

You keep putting yourself in chaotic environments.

[Godfrey The Great @FinGodTheGreat]

There’s no such thing as hate or praise.

Only symbols being interpreted by your mind.

Your mind is constantly constructing reality to try and make sense of it.

The problem is, the reality it’s constructing is actually a hallucination.

[Godfrey The Great @FinGodTheGreat]

If you can't think, write.
If you can't write, do.
If you can't do, you're dead.

Your big ideas for content won’t be understood by most people.

My favourite creator, https://t.co/3Rqcn5rYyl, is a victim of this.

As his teachings became more and more complicated, his content got viewed less and less.

This isn’t because his skill as a content creator have decreased — it’s the opposite.

It’s just that the stuff he’s interested in is too advanced for most people to understand.

If you want to get big on social media, focus on little ideas.

Not outlandish ones.

Counterintuitive Fact:

A writer 20 years into his career won’t be able to help you as well as a writer that’s only 2 years in.

Why?

Because they can still remember what it’s like being a beginner.

Healthy food for your body is the same as banging books for your brain.

[Godfrey The Great @FinGodTheGreat]

You realise haters online only exist in your mind, right?

[Godfrey The Great @FinGodTheGreat]

The best teachers are not lightyears ahead of you.
They’re just a few feet away.

[Godfrey The Great @FinGodTheGreat]

Live your life like you're the hero in a video game.

Not an NPC.

[Godfrey The Great @FinGodTheGreat]

If you want to stop creating content because people on the internet were mean to you, you’re not cut out for this gig.

[Godfrey The Great @FinGodTheGreat]

Your life is full of content.
You just have to sit down and create it.

[Godfrey The Great @FinGodTheGreat]

Most people will spend years complaining about their lack of writing success without ever addressing the real issue:

They're rubbish.

The more templates you use, the more reliant you become.
