Lostโฆpretty darn lost
Staring at the screen, wondering how some tweets explode while others barely catch a spark.
Why and how can it be so inconsistent?
I know exactly what the problem is tooโฆ
The 3 Core Pillars. Let me explainโฆ
If you donโt have em, you NEED em.
Not just to survive, but to succeedโฆ.and also to survive.
Your 3 core pillars are found at the intersection of three elements in your life:
๐ธInterests:
Remember those late-night rants with the friends? The weird convos you could debate for hours? That's it. For me, it was psychology, stroytelling, and building ambitions.
Dive deep into what sets your soul on fire.
๐ธSkills:
We've all got that one thing. That skill we're damn proud of. I've nabbed dream opportunities and connections by doing things I love. Things I worked my soul at. What's your superpower?
Hone it. Flaunt it.
๐ธConvictions:
This one's personal. I've been burned, praised, trolled, and applauded. Through it, my convictions kept me grounded. They're my drive. I have opinions that I will never back down on. What are yours?
What lines will you never cross? What battles will you always fight?
----------------------------------------
๐ธThe sweet spot is when you have 2-3 interests that overlap. List out interests that you have, as many as you can.
Find 2-3 that overlap. Those are your pillars
From there, what convictions do you have about them?
----------------------------------------
Your X identity should be at the intersection of your interests, skills and convictions.
They HAVE to have a natural intersection that allows us to broaden our scope and justify it
If we niche down too much, the audience becomes too narrow.
Very passionate, but too narrow.
Hence we seek that intersection.
Now, here's the kicker. These pillars? They're not just cheap X tactics. No no no.
They're:
-Your voice
-Your ID
-Your heartbeat
I've been in the trenches with trolls, celebrated the viral hits, and learned from the flops. And these pillars? They've been my oxygen tank and my flashlight in the dark.
You need your core pillars if you have any sort of ambition to go further.
So next time you're about to hit post, pause.
Think of your pillars.
๐ธAre you being true to them?
๐ธIf not, the post isnโt ready.
Because in this flooded world of X, it's not just about being heard.
It's about being remembered.
And trust me, with these pillars, you won't just be another post in the feed. You'll be the creator they can't stop thinking about.

Keep pushing, keep evolving, and always, always stay true to your pillars
