Pointless

Re-reading posts from Time Hop are usually inspiring for me. But sometimes it does the opposite and triggers a humbling self-reflection:
But something tells me 2024 is going to be different.
Just a feeling…
What feeling?
That I really WANT it this year. Hitting $10k monthly revenue. It’s like an obsession…
I wrote that in 2024. In fact, I’ve been having these “feelings”, these bursts of optimism for years now, even before 2024. Maybe since 2018.
But no real progress.
Just all talk.
All words.
No action.
No new SaaS.
No new projects.
No fking results.
I am so disappointed in myself.
Why bother making these bold, ambitious proclamations when nothing ever happens? If I expect it but never act on it, I’m just setting myself up for disappointment over and over.
Why bother?
Yeah yeah yeah I’ve always got some good reasons, a good excuse… not the right life stage, no time, too tired, too sleep deprived, too something, blah blah blah…
There’s always something else holding me back.
It might be time to stop externalising and just face the mirror to finally acknowledge that the thing holding me back was ultimately myself.
So either stop having these goals and expectations and writing pointless posts about it, or just. Go. Fking. Do. It.
