Here's the problem with this...

I'm doing it wrong. I'm not saying don't eat breakfast and by all means, drink as much caffeine as you need to get your day started (I'm trying to cut back), but the main issue here is what I do after that. We shouldn't wake up each morning consuming other people's content. It's just not the right thing to do. It's like waking up and just comparing yourself to the rest of the world.

By now most of you know that I'm trying to step into the vlogging sphere... Well watching Casey's vlog before I edit my own just isn't smart. For one, I'm wasting my time, while I'm watching his vlog I could be editing my own... That would help get it out to the public faster. For two I'd likely lose all creative freedom, there's a chance that I'll subconsciously try to edit my vlog to a similar style as his, that's not cool. For three, Casey's vlog is probably 10x better than mine, it's easy to feel like your vlog is shit when you're comparing yourself to Casey, here I am walking the streets taking street portraits, while Casey is doing a 360 video in Hollywood.

"Well, I don't vlog Keenan... How does this pertain to me?". Vlogging's just the example, but if you're a creative then this applies to you regardless of what field you're in. I shoot street, if I woke up looking at every popular street photographer and compared our images then there is a chance that mine might feel less than on that given day. That's not a way to start the morning.

You wake up confident, you wake up feeling like today is a new start, everything you failed at yesterday you get to do again today. Keep that mindset, create with that mindset, put out work with that mindset... and then go look at other people's shit.
