I've been a bit hard on myself the last few weeks. I've been trying to craft some decent edits, trying to learn about analytics (I'm a very slow learner) and learning about systems takes me longer than I'd like. This audio I'm currently editing highlights my weaknesses of talking and presenting, I ramble and go on tangents which requires a LOT of editing.
In a quiet moment of sitting and contemplating and feeling sorry for myself, I had to remind myself... while some areas take me a lot longer to learn than others... I feel I'm pretty damn good at drawing. I wouldn't have nearly 30k subs if I didn't have at least some level of drawing skills. I keep getting complimented on my friendly nature (even if I can be a bit short and harsh with my help at times), I get compliments in my comments on how I've helped people become better at drawing, how I've helped inspire people to draw more, and I feel I've helped people get a better understanding of some basic YouTube concepts, and when things get a bit tough, to take a breath and realize there's more to life than subscriber counts. It's what you do for others that counts.
We might not be great at everything we want to be great at, but it's important to recognize what you ARE good at.
So as I remind myself that I have plenty of skills, when I feel a bit down for being slow at other things, I want you to remind yourself, and share with us, what you think your STRENGTHS are. I'm already noticing a lot of strengths in different areas in our community over here![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
