Original Youtube Description:

I had something great happen on one my YouTube channels, and ever since then people been freaking out. Go here if you are interested: https://www.instagram.com/aleshampeterson/.

Here's the advice I laid out.

I'm not a saint, a God, or Moses that parted the red sea. I went for it instead of trying to fit in the cliques or be liked. I decided a long time ago it's ok to be disliked, misunderstood, talked about like a dog and be lied on. I had a lot of periods where I distanced myself from people. (And after some of those messages I may do it starting today, WTF I'm no Youtube god. Omg people please, I wouldn't make a great lay person bc I don't trust religion)

I am, however, someone who takes the road less traveled, watched a lot of people in my life pass away (this will be in another reel, tomorrow isn't promised), watched other people in school for years be way more successful and have it easier. I didn't complain or get jealous because I'm not the jealous type. I do keep a lot to myself, bc reaching out & asking for help too many times have lead to bad things, being made fun of, unnecessary grief and judgements. As a result, I figured out YouTube and many things in life on my own. I have developed a list of business skills that I don't talk about, if it's meant for you to find out you will.

I just think we need to extend each other some grace. Even if you don't understand why someone is taking a certain road, doesn't mean it's bad. It's not always for you to understand. You live your life and let others live theirs.

So favor, if you ever have a friend that tells you they want to create a iguana farm in Indonesia. Or wants to start a food truck? Or does something different than the society norms? Instead of calling them weird, delusional, strange? Keep your opinions and judgements to yourself. I have so many Youtubers with such unique niches that you would think no way, there's no way they are successful doing that, but they are. Yall, they got bigger followings than I do. But they also showed me what's possible. Once you are exposed to that, there's no going back, gloves are off. It's sometimes a matter of diving in, not knowing how the dots are going to connect. And having blind faith, believing in something and success that hasn't happened yet.
