When you suck at everything.
Hey Everyone,
Lately, I've been feeling overwhelmingly lost. It feels like I've spent my entire life indulging in natural talents and novelty rather than pursuing what truly brings me joy and honing those skills. Now, I'm trapped in what feels like a curse of endless mediocrity.
Amidst this confusion, a quote I read in the description of a video made me feel like I had found the door out of this curse, and all I needed was to open it and walk through it. It said, "Dare to act and you will feel brave." This got me pondering: Is action the source of motivation, or is motivation the catalyst for action? Where does this lead me?
I interpreted this quote as a call to action: you can't master something by merely studying it. Sure, knowledge is crucial, but mastery comes from doing. Waiting for the perfect moment of readiness is futile. Instead, why not embrace imperfection and take that leap?
It's counterintuitive, I know. But trusting your internal compass and the desire to improve can lead to surprising growth. Acknowledging progress fuels the fire within, propelling you forward even when the challenges seem insurmountable.
Despite my doubts, I've decided NOT to give up. Rather than fixating on my perceived shortcomings, I'll explore the paths that beckon me, even if it's just a whisper. Through repeated action, no matter how terrible, I'll carve out a path with milestones to celebrate along the way. All this without worrying about the shape, understanding that whatever my inner compass ends up designing is what is perfect for me.
So, Let's embrace the journey, even when the path ahead seems unclear or it is rough terrain, the way out is through. Let's keep moving, and if you need to rest, REST. But make sure you start moving again.
Stay resilient.
TLDR: In the map of life, you can't find your favorite zone without first exploring all of them.
Your favorite zone can change, and your skills in each zone will build up over time of action with a desire to improve.
