Yesterday I had a conversation with one of my mentors.
We talked about current challenges.
Thanks to him, I realized how much I enjoy writing, not only journal writing but also writing online.
The thing that holds me back is the story I tell myself about myself.
I’m a machine learning engineer, and I studied AI at one of the best universities in the world.
Therefore, I need to create something in the field of AI, but nothing small, the big things.
That sounds great, but that story holds me back because the fear of failure is too big.
Sure, the story makes me focus on this field, and focus is great and so important.
But the story also is like a prison, it limits me, it blinds me to other possibilities.
What am I going to do about it?
I will continue to work on ReContent.AI until a certain date.
Then I’ll decide if it’s worth continuing or not.
I also start to write a lot more, I’ll let my writing obsession carry me along.
I no longer fight it, I’ll allow the obsession to pull me in.
I’ve realized that writing brings me so much joy, and joy is what counts in life.
