In the words of Kendrick Lamar, when stuff hits the fan, is you still a fan?
Yousef was one of the main reasons why I started up this whole YouTube thing again believe it or not. I didn't do it for the fame, not for money, but to be able to grow an audience that is like-minded and cultivate similar visions that I have on life; everything else is just a by-product. But at the same time, with exposure, comes hate, comes judgement, comes envy, and a myriad of other negative emotions and opinions. You're essentially like a modern day human punching bag.
If you focus too much on the past, it brings out emotions of unforgiveness, anger, and resentment. If you focus too much on the future, you attract emotions of fear and anxiety; a lot of what if questions.
Well what are you supposed to focus on? The now, obviously. If you continually focus on the past and future, it's like a hamster running on a treadmill; one's already happened, and the other has yet to happen. Both in reality, which are out of your own control, are the causes of negative emotion, self-talk and any other ego-stroking emotions.
