Volume 14: New Faces, Becoming The Creator & The Good Stuff

Welcome to the Mind Fuzz newsletter, a recap of three things that are on my mind this week.

1. Welcoming New Faces

There’s more than a 65% chance that you’re reading Mind Fuzz for the first time.

That’s because this week my audience tripled after I had an article featured on No Sidebar, who have a social media following of more than 330,000 people!!

It was pretty surreal.

But what’s even more surreal is the fact that I now have newsletter subscribers from five continents.

This has certainly been buzzing around my mind fuzz this week.

I’ve already had a conversation via email with a couple of you, and it’s crazy to think that my articles are helping you.

We often get tied up in the little bubbles of our own lives that we forget others are going through the exact same things as us. 

So, we might as well go through it together.

I’m not here to sell you anything – I’m just here to share what I learn about life, so you can try and make sense of yours.

2. Becoming The Creator

Are you using the internet to waste your life, or are you using it to start a new one?

I truly believe the internet is our way out.

When your mindset shifts from a consumer to a creator, your world changes.

This doesn’t mean you have to stop consuming content.

This simply means you have to start consuming content in the right way.

That YouTube video you watched the other day that resonated with you.

Why did it resonate with you?

If it resonated with you, it must have touched on some topic that you’ve experienced in your own life.

That means others have probably experienced it as well – which, again, means that they’d probably be interested in hearing what you have to say about it.

You, the creator.

People want to hear from you.

Are you making yourself heard?

3. Waiting For The Good Stuff

“It’s never going to be over, so stop waiting for the good stuff,” David Deida from The Way of the Superior Man.

How often do we fall into the ‘one day’ trap?

One day I’ll be happy, one day I’ll have enough money to be free, one day my body will look the way I want it to.

When one problem fades, another inevitably arises.

There is no perfect time when everything comes together.

And even if there is, it certainly doesn’t last.

True happiness is realising you have everything you need right here in the present moment.

That means doing the things you truly want to do now, even if the timing doesn’t feel ‘right’ – because it never will.

It’s never going to be over, so stop waiting for the good stuff.

A closing question for you

What was the last thing you created? Did it bring you joy?

Picture of Who is Jack Waters?

Who is Jack Waters?

He used to be a journalist, then he got bored. Now he writes about random stuff on the internet.
