It's a START to a NEW PATH I SHOULD start a LONG TIME AGO…

September 24, 2024 Dawid Hassan Abdullah

This particular piece is something I wrote and meticulously recorded on my YouTube channel all the way back in the year 2019. As I embark on the exciting journey of updating my website from the very beginning once again, using the user-friendly platform of Squarespace, I thought it would be a wonderful and timely opportunity to share this Blog with each and every one of you who take the time to visit. If you’re interested in watching the Video on YouTube, you can easily find it conveniently located in the bottom section of the “My Blogs & Videos” Page on my website. I truly hope you enjoy this content, and I would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly let me know if there is anything specific I can do to further enhance the type of content I create here on my website, as well as on my engaging YouTube Channel. So, here’s how it goes!

It's truly a refreshing and invigorating FRESH START to a NEW PATH that I should have chosen to embark on a LONG TIME AGO, one that is now filled with countless exciting opportunities and thrilling adventures just waiting around the corner for me to discover, explore, and wholeheartedly embrace with boundless enthusiasm and an open heart. Each step I take along this journey promises to bring new experiences and insights that will enrich my life in ways I have always dreamed of.

After quite a considerable amount of time spent in careful contemplation and deep reflection, I have been meticulously preparing myself to finally embark on the exciting and transformative journey of creating VLOGs that I sincerely hope will resonate with a wide and diverse audience of viewers from various backgrounds. However, despite my unwavering determination, I have never quite managed to face the camera with the level of confidence and poise I genuinely aspire to possess and exude. So, this upcoming video feels like an incredibly significant and important step for me to break that bubble I’ve been living in and to finally confront my fears head-on, much like stepping into a vibrant brand new world filled with endless possibilities and opportunities for self-expression.

I realise that I need to prepare thoroughly for this journey, perhaps by drafting a well-crafted script or outlining some key bullet points to thoughtfully guide me through the entire process with clarity and focus, ensuring that every word I share carries meaning and resonates. Yet, that essential task always seems to get relegated to tomorrow, which is exactly why it simply hasn’t materialized yet as I so desperately hoped it would. Deep down, I also know that I have to try much harder to push through these self-imposed barriers that often hold me back and prevent me from moving forward. The truth is, tomorrow never truly arrives; as soon as we think we’ve reached it, it simply morphs into today, and before we know it, the next day quickly becomes tomorrow yet again, leaving us trapped in a continuous cycle of procrastination and hesitation.

I am fully aware that there are likely plenty of mistakes waiting to surface within my VLOG, which is precisely why I kindly ask you to consider leaving me some truly thoughtful constructive advice in the comment section above. Your valuable insights on how I can enhance the overall quality of my content and present my ideas in a more engaging and enjoyable way for all of you to appreciate and cherish would mean the world to me, and it would greatly assist me on this creative journey into uncharted territory.

As I reflect on my earlier blog entries, you may have uncovered a bit more about my truly unique and enriching journey, as well as how everything intriguing began for me when I first set out to create my YouTube channel and establish my very own website. Looking back, I quickly realize I could have embarked on this exciting adventure much earlier in my life, rather than wasting my precious time and hard-earned money on frivolous distractions like mindlessly “Dancing the Night Away” and indulging in a variety of unproductive habits that added little value to my overall life experience. Although it took me quite a considerable amount of time to genuinely understand how to successfully set my course for this uncharted territory, I am wholeheartedly grateful for your unwavering support and invaluable guidance throughout this entire process. With your continuous encouragement, I feel more empowered and determined than ever to pursue something truly meaningful for myself and my bright future, no matter how limited the resources I may have left at my disposal, as I navigate this exciting path ahead.
