what I learned from 300 days of vlogging (so far)

"done is better than perfect because perfect is never done" - someone

"if you're not having fun you're taking it too seriously" deeply hits

"Ironically, that is the first thing we turn off, and the journey is about getting back there". That hits so hard

Every post is just too relatable, a lot of us seem to have this huge problem creating content around our everyday lives, but watching your videos makes me realize things don’t have to be perfect. It’s about the story you tell and more. This is what hooked me into your videos in the first place.

Life of Riza is our gold standard on YouTube.

4:07 Wait, another channel!!! I'm sooo excited 🥳

"Done is better than perfect, and done feels better than hanging on for something for way too long." ouuuuff, I needed to hear this. Thanks Riza. I've got footage from my 25 day motorcycle ride across Italy that I've been sitting on for months because I want to make everything PERFECT and I'm worried about not making it good enough... Guess it's time I just dive in. If you guys ever wanna do anything related to motorcycles, or need bikes for a project or anything, in Toronto, hit me up!

I’ve been a content creator for 13 years this year and your style, work ethic and passion makes me so proud and excited to continue creating. Thanks for every video. ❤

The cinematography on your videos is so interesting to watch, such a unique style! Keep up the good work!

What I like about these videos is that each one is reflective. It is not just a window into someone's daily life, but a window into someone's life lessons and experiences.

"if you are not enjoying it, then you might be taking things a little to seriously" This really stood out to me. Sometimes it really feels like we are forcing it, we end up stressing ourselves and this could lead to pausing for long durations. As you said in the beginning of the video "done is better than perfect".

”I found your channel and it really helped me out“ I started my own channel to share my stories, but at one point, it went dark because nobody was watching. Then my channel grew with gaming content, so I started making games for a while, but then it went dark again. That’s when I stumbled upon the ‘Life of Riza’ channel. I watched your clips over and over again until it sparked my motivation to restart my channel. So, I started vlogging again. I don’t care anymore if anyone sees it. I just want to document my current stories for my future self to look back on. So, thank you so much ‘Life of Riza’. Hopefully, someday, I’ll learn English to share my stories with the world even more. Thank you very much. ✌🏻🎬

"everything that doesn't work is just as the stuff that does work". too relatable, the struggle of perfectionism is real guys. thanks for opening my eyes!

What Riza calls a vlog has so much in the way of life lessons, philosophy, filming, cinematography, music selection and editing. Each is like a piece of art, but so much more, as is so relatable.

“Done is better than perfect” thank you for being such an inspiration Kariza.

Love the last part you said about taking things too seriously. You're a huge inspiration, Riza!

I really appreciate your style, both cinematography and storytelling

Loved this - massive congrats for all your success in such a short space of time. Love the soul and personality that goes into your videos :)

“Hi, I’m from Thailand. Your video storytelling is very inspiring for my own content creation. I especially love the green tones in your room in this video. Keep up the great work!”

ughhh this hit so hard, i feel like i try to make everything so perfect that i get lost in the process and lose my vision too. i forget the real motivation and the joy, thanks for the reminder!!
