Welcome to my new personal development series where I combine the wisdom of astrology with the action of personal development! Let’s get cracking ya’ll


I remember having a conversation with my father about success and he said that whatever I do in life I have to make sure that I am the best at it. Now I have heard this same phrase over and over from many people and seen it so much online that it has become a cliche. Today I want to make a case for anyone who is just starting out in pursuing a goal that is daunting. Like trying to be a singer, writer, painter, artist, YouTuber, Instagrammer, facebook star, and the like. This post does not apply to people who are in school since there is no reward in not being the best in a system like that. Here is my argument, you shouldn’t aim to be the best. You should aim to be the best at being innovative or creative.


Reason # 1 - too much time. Say there is a YouTuber that you respect and she has two million subs and daily views of two hundred to three hundred thousand per video upload. You listen to her story and she says she started youtube back in 2010 and through countless videos, she has amassed her large following. Then you decide you want to be the best just like her but she started when she was 21 and your 28 right now. You're going to have a long uphill battle to reach her level, it would be the equivalent of getting a bachelors and a masters degree in the same time frame.


Reason # 2 - too much effort. Think about all the hours upon hours you would have to put in to be as big some of these social media stars. Not to mention the inordinate amount of changes these platforms introduce as they grow in scale. That means you have to follow the same playbook that your idol has while at the same time being adaptable to changing circumstances. And let's face it most people are very lazy and don’t want to work hard in order to achieve their dreams. Some people just aren’t cut out to work that much especially if they already have a 9 - 5 - 13 hour job. It’s really hard to follow your passion after working a job you can’t stand because you need to pay the bills. Although that should be a motivator instead of a detractor.


Instead, you should think like the sign


The planet that rules Aquarius is Uranus in astrology. Together the planet and the sign represent the water bearer even though it’s an air sign. The person who pours water on people who are dying of heat. Aquarius/Uranus is someone who thinks differently than everyone else around them. The rebel so to speak, someone who says why does the educational system have to be this way? Richard Branson (owner of virgin atlantic) says that universities should just skip liberal arts and give the students their major credits classes as soon as they arrive. There is a book called ”mental math tricks” that teaches math in such a simple and unique way that even a dummy like me can understand it. Why this book is not incorporated in the school system I’ll never know. My point is you have to think like a scientist and question the system, especially if it seems outdated.


An Aquarius would say why try to be the best when I can be the most unique or creative or original? That is the way you should start looking at your youtube career or any other endeavor that was mentioned earlier. Takashi69 the rapper with the colored hair and tattoos is all the proof you need that you shouldn’t aim to be the best at something. Start looking at what you want to pursue from the Aquarian perspective. I just made a post that combined astrology with personal development yet even more proof of that Aquarian energy. Remember these qualities

  • always ask why, - is there a better way?, - can I combine two things/subjects/materials to create something new?, - can I enlist the help of a group? - why and how was this outdated system created in the first place? - whose purpose is the system serving? Does it benefit everyone? How can technology assist me in pursuing my ambitions?

These are the thoughts of an Aquarius and how I suggest you approach any BIG career or goal you want to tackle.
