Your Life Is A Movie, Do This To Be The Star
Two years ago I was in Mexico hanging out the the back of a 4x4, and high on tacos and Mexican candy, surrounded by my girlfriend and our closest friends. Little did I know that less than 3 months later, I would be at my lowest point Iâve ever been in my life.
It might sound dramatic but I felt like the end of my relationship signalled the end of my life. But I soon realised it was something very different
This realisation completely transformed how I viewed the bad moments (and the good moments) in my life.
So, I want to share with you:
- Why you should start to look at your life as a movie
- The surprising benefit this will have on your mental health
We all go through terrible times in our lives, maybe thatâs the end of a relationship or the loss of someone close to you.
If youâre anything like me, these events make us question how we can go on.
Yet, we are still here.
Moreover, if these events are going to happen anyways, why do we still find them so hard to process? And, how could it possibly help to view your life as a movie?
Now, if we go back to my story of the end of my relationship, I felt like I had lost a piece of me. Since most of my time when I was in that relationship, I was with another person, it felt like most of my memories and actions were tied to being in a couple.
This part of my early 20s felt like it was defined by another person, rather than my own individuality.
That was a hard fact to face, until I re-watched one of my favourite movies a few months laterâŚ.
In one of the greatest films of all time (Despicable Me), the main character, Gru, isnât by himself all the time.
Instead, he interacts with the minions, his daughters (Agnes, Margo and Edith) and even the villain, Vector.
In fact, in 99% of movies, the main character doesnât stay alone forever. Thatâd be boring.
Rather, they fight with some people, they make love with some people. They laugh with some people. They have so many experiences (good and bad) that are shaped by their relationships with other people.
In the end, how a character develops is a result of how these different experiences combine.
So, imagine that your life was like a movie where you are the main character. Instead of thinking of those bad memories as defining your entire plot, think of them as mini-stories or chapters.
A great film has lots of little stories that happen to the protagonist.
Love. Heartbreak. Laughter. Pain. Loss. Growth.
A great life needs these moments too.
After all, if we donât experience these negative stories, we have nothing to compare the good moments too that makes them feel so good.
And by goodness those tacos was *so* *good.*

This Underrated Productivity Hack Has Saved Me HOURS
Have you ever had those days where you feel like youâve achieved nothing, even though youâve felt like youâve been really busy?
I felt the exact same too. Until I discovered this one simple hack that has instantly doubled my productivity, so I am going to share with you:
- What that hack is and what problem it solves
- How I use it (and how you can too)
For the past few months, I have had a guilty pleasure that has really been weighing on my mind. Itâs something I do late at night. When Iâm alone. Usually in my bedroom and I donât want anybody to find out about it.
Itâs something Iâm not proud of at allâŚ
Refreshing my YouTube analytics page
The thing is, like many of you, I have BIG goals. Not least, wanting to grow this YouTube channel and build an income off the back of it.
But all too often, I find myself wasting HOURS on these tasks that suck away my time and energy, making me feel busy but not actually making me productive or contributing towards my goals.
You must feel the same way too!
Maybe you have a big project coming up but youâre reassuring yourself that youâre being productive because youâre scrolling through your emails or playing around with loads of designs and fonts on Canva.
Then, I remembered something I read by Tim Ferriss that completely changed my life.
It doesnât matter how efficient you are at completing a task if that task is not effective at progressing you towards a goal.
READ THAT SENTENCE AGAIN
So after realising this mistake I was making, I changed one thing that transformed EVERYTHING for me and I am confident that you can do the same.
In terms of my goal of growing on YouTube, I had a deep think for 10 minutes and wrote down what that actually meant.
I decided that to grow on YouTube, I need to produce 6 videos a month and create 4 community posts a week.
From this, I know what tasks are gonna be the main driving force behind this goal: filming, editing and writing. Crucially, checking Instagram and my YouTube studio are nowhere to be found.
This one productivity change meant that I have gained the same amount of subscribers in 1 month than I did in the last 10 months.
For you to achieve the same success with your goals, you just need to do three things:
1. Write down what goal you want to achieve (usually an output goal e.g. do x thing per week or complete y per month).
2. If you could only do 3 tasks to achieve this goal, what would they be? Write them down.
3. Avoid everything else.
I want to know what goals you guys have currently and how you are going to implement this hack.
Let me know âŹď¸
