"This is the true joy in life - being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances." --George Bernard Shaw

My official name is Manda, but I've been Razhie for almost as long. I'm a 28 year old woman who didn't use to be half as confident or brazen as she is now.

My advice is pretty good, not always perfect and rarely censored.

I can read what is written. I cannot read your mind.

The Question
I've been singing for a couple of years now, mainly in church and at a couple of weddings every now and then. Over the years I can tell I've gotten a lot better from when I first started and recently I've had this idea to start my own YouTube channel. The problem is, everytime I actually get ready to create it, I start having doubts. I'm not sure if its confidence I'm lacking or not. I'll be so sure about it one day and the next I'll feel like it's a stupid idea and I shouldn't even bother. I really want to try and see how it'll turn out, but at the moment I'm not so sure. What should I do?

The Answer
Start making videos.

That's my advice: Just start making videos. Even if you don't make a channel yet, even if you don't share them with anyone. Start making videos. Make lots of them. Hold yourself to a weekly schedule.

Here's the brutal truth: No matter how talented you are, your first attempts at anything are likely to be kind of shitty. That's just life. Great movie stars make shitty movies. Great writer write shitty books. It happens to the best of us. Nothing will stop it 100% but practice will help.

So if you aren't ready to start uploading things to channel, that's fine, but if you know that's the goal, then start doing the important part: Practice making channel ready videos.
