"You're imagining yourself in a scenario you have never been in."
Nobody dreams about losing awards or face all the hardships of life. They aren't the things we dream about but they're the things that happen.
He speaks about how he never dreamed about being a YouTuber but that became his career. In Charlie's talk he tries to make people not feel bad for not knowing what they want to do because their future career might not even exist yet. In his era of YouTubers, nobody had made a full career out of making video content online yet. This set of YouTubers were the first to do it. He then thought he needed a real career. So his new focus was a film maker, it was his dream to focus on. "I wanna be a filmmaker because that seems more legitimate than what I wanna do." but this isn't always accurate.
There's a pathway that people believe they need to follow through life - having a dream and doing everything possible to achieve that goal but Charlie says "that path is simply not for everyone. I do not want to find people that are disappointed that tried to fulfil their dreams but didn't because it doesn't fit them personally."
"Don't romanticise your dreams." There are always failures. People just don't talk about them as often.
"You shouldn't let your past self be the person who makes choices for you today. Make those choices today."
"I don't know who I'm going to be tomorrow, I don't think that's failure I think that's progress."
