Yesterday, I was watching a YouTube video where a group of people sat down for a roundtable discussion.

Something in the conversation sparked a thought I’ve been reflecting on recently.

Throughout my journey on YouTube, I’ve often come across advice like, “You should do this,” “Avoid that,” or “This is the best way to do X.”

But when you step back and think about it, isn’t it true that there are countless ways to approach even the simplest tasks in life?

And just because you choose one approach and someone else chooses another, it doesn’t mean one is wrong. If you both get the outcome you want, then both ways are valid, just different.

Lately, I’ve been reprogramming my mindset to embrace this, especially when I fall into the trap of comparing myself to others.

Now, instead of thinking, “They're doing it like this, maybe I'm doing it wrong”, or "People expect me to do it this way", I remind myself, “That’s their way, or one way of doing it but this is mine, and that’s totally fine.”

So, what I’m trying to say (perhaps a little clumsily) is that there’s a ton of advice out there about making videos and it's also easy to compare yourself to others.

Instead of seeing conflicting advice as right or wrong, I’ve been thinking about which approach works best for me, whilst trying things out and tweaking as I go.

What didn’t work for someone else might just be the perfect solution for me, and I’m going to keep that in mind moving forward.

Catch you later!
