What I tell myself when life is beating me down – Red Lemon Club

I’ll be honest with you. I’m 33 years old and still find life hard. I still feel like a beginner. I still feel mostly clueless. I still get scared and dread things. For the most part, things are hopeful. I’m productive, I’m exercising enough, feeling positive, and I am grateful for what I have. I can experience moments of brilliance, where I feel like I’m on […]

This is how showing up every day will change you – Red Lemon Club

It is hard to move out of the darkness. To cross the chasm into being recognised, following years spent in the unknown. To make a living from our own ideas, rather than from a payslip, can be a monumental challenge. The hordes at the gates seem to grow with each new day: More talent with

You’ve finally finished your masterpiece. You’re beaming. You feel good about it this time. Could this be your big break? You’ve added a funky title and some trendy hashtags.

You feel miserable. Life is hard. Everyone sucks. Nobody pays attention to you. Nobody respects you enough. You feel low. You’re depressed. Your anxiety is surging. You try all the cures. They tell you to take pills. You take them, but they only add a layer of ointment on top of your deeper ‘problems.’ Ultimately

This is the only obsession worth having, and it isn’t to be liked – Red Lemon Club

We get frustrated because we aren’t progressing as we had planned. We aren’t there with the traction we hoped we’d be getting with all this work we’re putting in. We’re not getting enough of them dratted likes, follows, pings, pokes, thumbs ups, and subscribes. And little Johnny Genius over on YouTube seems to be getting all

Great creative work does NOT have to be from the HEART all the time – Red Lemon Club

One of the things that has held me back is procrastinating too much. I don’t feel like doing the stuff I know I need to do because I don’t feel like it. I know what I need to do, but then an image pops up in my head luring me from the dusty wasteland of

Defy and Create – Red Lemon Club

The resistance is there. The foggy feeling of not knowing is there. Feeling like I’m an imposter who has arrogantly assumed the role of a writer and an ‘advice-giver’ is there. The guilt at working from home, avoiding the daily commute is there. The shame of barely meeting anyone new because of a solitary life is

Why you do NOT need to know your ‘purpose.’ – Red Lemon Club

Many times I have worried that I’m not doing work that answers a ‘purpose.’ To do work that is ‘my calling.’ To create things that will change the world for the better. To do work that is ‘meaningful,’ and ‘valiant,’ and ‘noble.’ That only this kind of work can fulfill us. The ‘gurus’ tell us
