VEDA Day four.
[SOUND]
What's up guys it's me Hallease I'm gonna rap with you all for
a minute something I've been grappling with as a young adult getting
into my career in video production and in making video content
Is the idea that to become truly successful you will have regrets
and I don't mean regrets romantically or I should have taken that
trip.
I mean it in terms of success regrets
or picking the right career path regrets.
I have always been a jack of all trades master of a few type person
I've always had multiple things that I'm interested in,
I've always
been pursuing multiple dreams at one time.
And something that i'm slowly beginning to realize is that you have
to let some of those dreams go in order to focus on other dreams.
If you have too many aspirations, 18 00:00:59,850 --> 00:00:59,849 dreams
happening all at once,
none of them will get done and
it's frustrating because you don't wanna let things go,
you don't
wanna let dreams go,
you don't wanna let ideas go and the people
I aspire to have a success level as,
there was a turning point
where they I really did focus on one specify idea and focus on
that one specific idea for many years and then they finally accomplish
that idea and the revenue that they gained from that idea or the
momentum that they gained from that idea or the connections that
they gained from that idea helped them to start on the
next idea.
So, I'm just a young professional out here trying to be somebody,
low key, high key trying to be somebody.
Some of you all that are out there,
young professionals or mid to
your professions, whatever professional level you at,
maybe some 39 00:01:59,850 --> 00:01:59,849 of you all are
focusing on too many things and maybe you just need to pick a thing,
which is so hard, so hard.
Oh my gosh, it's so hard.
So hard.
But pick a thing or maybe two.
Like max two and focus on them.
I had no desire to live forever,
but I do have a desire to have
more time.
You know I feel like even at 25, I already feel like making it to
80 is not enough time.
[LAUGH]
To get things done,
I mean it's not
enough time.
You aren't really truly into the professional realm until maybe
like earliest Is 16 unless you're some child prodigy,
you really
aren't gonna be in these streets until you're like a smooth 22.
I mean so you've already wasted 22 years of becoming a functioning
human being in this society,
you've wasted that much time.
And then
you know once you hit like 65,
70 you're hella tired.
I'm 25 and I'm already tired,
I'm 25 yall and I'm already tired.
I'm always a little bit tired,
always.
So.
[LAUGH]
And I'm not nearly as productive as I could be.
I mean now that I'm 25 the years just like go by By.
We are already a quarter of the way through 2016.
It is April already,
like what the hell, man? I just blinked and
it's April like what!.
To live to 80 I just feel like it's such a fraction,
a fraction
of the amount of time that you actually need to accomplish awesome
stuff.
I'm just fighting the clock,
I'm always fighting this
clock that I cannot see and I cannot predict cuz Lord knows when
the Lord gonna take me and I don't know,
so mortality sucks in
that way, it sucks and because of that you've to let things go
and you will regret it.
There's no way around it you
will regret some other things that you let go and not because
you know they were maybe spectacular or anything like that but
just because you don't know what could have been and you never
know what could have been,
and that's fresh reading for us humans
I think, to never know what could have been is hell of frustrating
for us So that's what I'm
dealing with now.
And food for thought VEDA day four see you when I see you.
