This One Habit Is Quietly Killing Your Potential (And You Don’t Even Know It)

We live in a world where people are busy doing everything… except the thing they say they want to do.

You want to be a content creator, a coach, a business owner, an author, a millionaire. But what are you actually doing about it?

Chances are, you’re stuck in what I call the “Doom Loop.”, the loop of continuous preparation. Watching, learning, scrolling, researching, endlessly preparing to be ready, without ever stepping out of the shadows and into the spotlight.

The truth? You’re not preparing. You’re hiding.

And I get it. Creating something real is scary. It opens you up. It feels risky. You start thinking: What if no one likes it? What if I fail? What if I’m not good enough?

But let me ask you this: What happens if you never even try?

Here’s the reality, while you’re consuming someone else’s content, someone else is building the life you want. They’re not necessarily smarter, more talented, or even more creative. They’re just doing the one thing you’re not: they’re showing up.

We’ve Become Addicts of Inspiration

We are constant content watchers, Motivational videos. Podcasts. Reels about hustle. We consume so much of it that we feel productive just by being in the same room with ambition.

But consumption without action is just entertainment. It’s chewing gum for the brain.

You’re not tired. You’re not busy. You’re not even uninspired. You’re just not moving.

Every minute you wait for the “right time” is a minute you could’ve been building your dream life. But here’s the part nobody tells you: the right time never shows up wearing a sign.

Opportunity doesn’t knock. It whispers. And if you’re glued to everyone else’s noise, you’ll miss your own moment.

If you want to be a content creator, create. Not someday. Not after your tenth course. Not once Mercury’s out of retrograde. Today.

Publish that blog post.
Record that first video.
Post that idea.
Messy? Good. That’s how it starts.

Wake Up, Time is Ticking

Let people see your progress. Let them watch you grow. That’s the beauty of real creation, is, it evolves.

Remember this: consuming too much content will eventually suffocate your own voice. It’s like sitting in a room where everyone’s shouting, at some point, you forget what you were going to say.

But your voice matters. Your message matters. And it’s never going to be heard if you keep waiting for permission.

You already have everything you need to begin. You’re smart enough. Capable enough. Worthy enough.

All you need now is action.

Because in the end, it’s not the watchers who change the world. It’s the ones who dared to create.

Which one are you?

SIDENOTE: I know i’ve said this before in previous posts, but it’s true. People look back and wonder what happened, time flew past faster than a speeding train. It’s not that people can’t do things, they don’t do them, and the reason they don’t do them is their time is spent doing other things.

Find one things to be good, preferable something you love and do the F****** thing to death. Don’t make excuses, excuses won’t get it done. Start today, do it scared, do it unprepared, just do it.

Have a great day
