Future Goals and Mentorship

I have made it no secret that one of my goals is to be a successful author. It is still very much something that I am striving towards. I have been doing it myself, and I know “what” I am trying to achieve. However, in retrospect, it would have been much better had I known “how” to get there. There is definitely a big learning process doing things myself, and a lot of trial and error along with just grinding through things. It has not always been easy, and progress is tough to gage as there really are few indicators of improvement.

This motivates e to achieve this goal though, as it has created another goal. If I “make it,” then I can tell others how to get there without having to go through so much trial and error. This happened when I was breakdancing as well. My friends and I were self-taught, just seeing videos or people breakdancing and trying to emulate them. We had no basics or any real base to work off of. However, when I improved and learned things, then I taught some people that were interested in breakdancing. They were doing moves within months of their breakdancing that I learned years into my breakdancing. I instilled the basics to them, and they got better quickly.

Besides creating my own works, I would also like to mentor other creators as well. I think that it is a way of paying it forward if I become successful. It also fills in this gap of understanding where one wants to eventually go, but explains how to get there.
