@Daddyphatsnaps definitely wouldn't take a charge. I'd politely step aside lol

What will my 2024 self wish that I did today?

What would my 80 year old self wish that I did today?

[Levar Allen @thisislevar]

What I feel like doing doesn't matter. It's all about what needs to be done.

[Levar Allen @thisislevar]

Any challenges in my life are like random battles. No point in complaining. It's better to just deal with them and collect the exp.

[Levar Allen @thisislevar]

Sucks that I can't cast spells in real life though😢

[Levar Allen @thisislevar]

I like that RPG games are like real life in that you're probably not gonna accomplish much if you're not willing to learn new skills and take on bigger challenges.

[Levar Allen @thisislevar]

Sometimes when I'm procrastinating about something I know I need to do, I try "sprinting to the starting line." Basically commit to starting as soon as possible while ignoring the internal voice that's giving me reasons to wait.

[Levar Allen @thisislevar]

Have to maintain a student/humble mentality. It's hard to learn and grow if I think I already have the answers.

[Levar Allen @thisislevar]

The type of people I spend time with matters so much. Such a different energy when I'm around motivated creative people vs unmotivated complainers. Those energies are contagious.

[Levar Allen @thisislevar]

I've been writing way better songs these days because I've been focused on making them good instead of focusing on play counts/view counts/what anyone's gonna think of them.

[Levar Allen @thisislevar]

When I'm paralyzed by a fear of failure, I try to remind myself that I'm failing by staying still. I might as well take action and give myself a chance to win.

[Levar Allen @thisislevar]

I can't expect my challenges to magically get easier. The focus has to be on becoming the type of person who can overcome and, eventually, destroy those challenges.

[Levar Allen @thisislevar]

When I feel tired or like I want to procrastinate, I often ask myself "who are you gonna be?" I try to attach the little decisions in the moment to my bigger goals.

[Levar Allen @thisislevar]

Most people don't seem to realize how amazing they could be if they believed in themselves.

[Levar Allen @thisislevar]

I have to remember that the most important person in my audience is me. If I'm not into the things I'm creating, then something needs to change.

[Levar Allen @thisislevar]

Everything feels different and is actually more effective for me when the goal is progression instead of perfection.

[Levar Allen @thisislevar]

When I write music, I don't like 95% of what I come up with. I'd usually get discouraged because of that, but what if I just focused on/saved/built on the 5% that I like?

[Levar Allen @thisislevar]

Acceptance of mediocrity is a slow working poison.

[Levar Allen @thisislevar]

I always forget that small steps in the right direction still count.
