The Feeling of Uncertainty
Who would you be in 5 years? Don’t know? 10 years? Nahh, let’s reduce it. Who would you be by December? Not sure? Not sure for me too.
These are questions I subconsciously ask myself on a daily basis because for me, failure isn’t an option.
And with that goal comes pressure and anxiety.
Then uncertainty shows up. Last time I created content was Friday, (feels like ages) i developed this crippling fear.
What if I don’t succeed i asked.
It was because i started going big on creating content, so now 100% of my day isn’t coding(but i still code everyday).
And in my mind i was afraid of where this journey would take me.
I talked to Hammed, Founder of SwiftXR(my unofficial mentor by force🫶🏿).
And he really gave me insight and guidance.
It wouldn’t be fair sharing my knowledge without acknowledging the source of it.
In reality life is uncertain and unpredictable for everyone.
I would’ve name dropped celebrities but i want you to look within.
10 years ago did you think you would be here? Did you even have the slightest idea? 10 years ago i was afraid of going to boarding house for my JSS1.
10 years later i have done amazing stuff. I didn’t get here with a predetermined plan, it just happened and so did it happen for you too.
Although you must develop the mindset.
Take the leap, do it anyway.
What do you have to loose? Make mistakes and learn from them.
Don’t let your fear destroy you.
If I didn’t pick up Sololearn that faithful afternoon, who would i be today? I didn’t know i would end up here.
I experienced this, looked for solution and shared it with you so that you might as well derive your own solution and share it with another person.
Lately I’ve been releasing Dubai pictures, ones i took in 2022 for a while.
And as usual my mind playing tricks with me asking me if I’ll ever take a good picture again.
Funny enough as i was writing this i was able to take some thought-evoking shots.
I’ll share it with you and you’ll be the judge.
Life is one big uncertain game. And for the most part, that’s the fun in it.
The fact that you can start as a pawn, play by the rules and end up a queen.
Oh the brevity of life! At the end of the day, you’ll always be fine.
And like Hammed asked, what’s the worst that could happen?
