NGL, I lost a lot of self-discipline and don’t know if this amount of introspection is the right path for my particular case. I’m not as motivated as I used to be, and those changes stopped the side business I built while I was on Emperor. The truth is that there’s no more passion for those things that were sustaining themselves with willpower and discipline alone, so they weren’t sustainable after all. I’m getting towards a reset point I guess.
So what do I really deeply want to do?
Maybe I should restart with what I’m instinctively attracted to beyond any logical reason my mind could counteract.
When I was 10 to 12 years old I was deeply fascinated by the aesthetics and beauty in sports shoe design, car design, music and I was drawing sports cars, shoes and in a few years I went into music production to make an amateur album of tracks and I started to be passionate about big muscles. Instead, when I was a child I was deeply in love with dinosaurs, earthmoving machinery, and church bells. So if I think about the fil rouge between all of those there’s always the aspect of extraordinary beauty and design involved from a visual and sensorial point of view.
In fact, at some point, I started to design fitness equipment, houses, pieces of furniture, and a few years ago a lot of artworks. So another fil rouge is the art of creation without any fixed boundaries on a particular niche.
After this realization, I think there’s one title that I never tried and it could be the big elephant in the room that I have never seen before for some unknown reason: Renaissance Man. I mean, I have always jumped from one niche to another because deep down I’m bored when I stick to something for too long. So I need to experiment, experience & create something new all the time to feel alive, if not I’ll go in depression mode sooner or later.
In the past, I needed to make new friends/groups of friends after a certain amount of time. I needed to change my career and my way of making money as well as jumping from regular jobs to entrepreneurship. I needed to experiment with different health/fitness workouts/personal growth/spiritual paths not because I was not finding what I was looking for but due to my soul craving for new experiences, especially if created by myself after learning about mainstream/niche ones. I was jumping from one interest to another new passion all the time while I was dreaming of creating never-seen niches too. Also new and unconventional lifestyles.
That’s why I’m not meant to focus on one thing for too long and I’m inclined to experiment with different things while making brand-new connections between them.
I guess Renaissance Man can help me bring a more structured, logical and result-driven mindset to make everything click.
