It's 2025, and everybody is âdoing something"
Somebody starts a YouTube channel today. Tomorrow, five people go and open theirs.
One person drops a song, and suddenly, everybody is a gospel artist.
You see someoneâs business blowing, and you rush to copy without knowing the backstory.
Missy, before you jump into anything â business, relationship, career, even ministry â please calm down and ask yourself: Why am I doing this?
Because if your only motivation is money, fame, or validationâŠ
Youâll burn out. Youâll get frustrated.
Results donât come cheap, and life will test your determination and resilience.
So if your WHY is not strong enough, youâll quit
Thatâs why before you start anything â business, ministry, relationship, brand, podcast, YouTube, whatever â you need to sit down and ask yourself:
Why am I doing this?
If your only answer is:
âI want to blowâ
âI want them to see Iâm doing something tooâ
âI want to pepper my exâ
Please⊠perish that idea.
You wonât stand the test of time.
Because the truth is, thereâll be seasons when nothing is working.
Thereâll be days when no one claps.
Thereâll be moments where giving up will look sweeter than consistency.
But your WHY â your deep, personal, purpose-driven reason â is what will keep you going when everything else says stop.
So take your time.
Before you launch, post, or start that thing⊠have a solid pep talk with yourself.
And if your answer doesnât even convince you, donât expect it to convince the rest of us. đđ
