Do you take yourself seriously? 
I am often told - "Don't be so serious!" 
Well I have thought about it and yes - I am a serious sort of person but I still like to have fun and find amusement in many things. 
But if you are NOT serious about many things in life then you will never achieve any of your "Big Ideas" or "Great Dreams" that you may have from time to time. 
How often have you had an idea and then killed it because you thought it was:
  • unrealistic
  • too hard 
    or it had:
  • been done before
  • more cons than pros

Well if you were NOT serious you would have left it all there and that spark of creativity and entrepreneurship would be lost forever!
If you were NOT serious it would have gone the way of all your other ideas and years later here you are still wondering if it might have worked! 

A lot of articles will tell you to “just do it,” — don’t worry what others will think, keep going, keep persevering, don’t give up!

But if you don’t take yourself seriously you’ll never be able to take any of that advice. Because you’ll always be able to convince yourself that what you’re doing isn’t important enough.


In urging you to take yourself seriously, I am suggesting that it is your self-esteem that needs working on not your happy-go-lucky disposition. 
Those who are not so easily put off, have a belief that they can get something to work, build on an idea, make it happen and overcome those difficulties. 
Yes!  It is not easy! 
Yes! It takes an effort to make anything happen.
Yes! There are rewards if you can go the distance.
If you are NOT serious, you will day-dream and think you are creative! 
Or you will  resent those people who are having a go while you are not and become a nay-sayer or a mocker and spend all your time trying to convince others that this idea will never work, that it's a scam and blog with negative advertising.
This will make you feel worse that you did not have the guts to try!

Save yourself from the self-loathing and depression. 
Don’t treat your ideas like they are nothing, don’t treat yourself like you are nothing, because you and your ideas are important and meaningful and have the potential to become so much more than you realize.
Get serious!
