I am an introvert who wasn’t interested in anything in life. My hobbies were to sleep and be lazy.
Despite being lazy, I managed to get a job.
I gained experience to make a good career out of it. 3 years into the job I felt stuck.
I hated my low pay repetitive job.
I was passionate about thinking & writing, but I wasn’t aware that I can make a career out of it.
So, I decided to pursue a high paying job aligning my interests.
I choose to pursue data science.
My curiosity became obsession. And obsession helped me land a data science job despite being mechanical engineer who hated coding all his life.
My salary tripled. I began to make 7 figures annual income. I felt my life was set.
Then I faced the harsh reality.
I wasn’t made for the job. It was analytical job and by nature I was a creative one.
6 months down the line my suffering started. I was paid really well but money didn’t help me to overcome my suffering.
Within a year, in 2023, I switched to a different company in same field, to a less stressful and less time-consuming job.
And began pursuing my passions.
I joined toastmasters club. And tried public speaking (my another passion).
Then started a podcast again (Yes, I tried once before) to share career stories. Quit in 3 months doing it.
Then finally decided to pursue writing in Sep 2023.
Enrolled in a course in Oct’2023. I believed the course will help me to write consistently.
But still I was inconsistent.
I have been writing online for 4 years but never took it seriously. I tried again and failed again.
Dec’2023 I enrolled in another course and found my Why, Passion and Niche.
And that was it. My life changed after that. I got clarity.
6 months down the line, I completed my passion project which is writing a small e-book about Obsession.
I was thinking for years to write it.
Wrote dozens of articles.
Wrote consistently the entire year in 2024.
Made lot of new friends online.
My habits changed. I began to wake up at 5 am, go for a walk and write for 2-3 hours.
Then I do my office work.
Most of my free time went to my writing.
I redesigned my life in a year.
I have never been this fulfilled in my life.
Every single day I feel more fulfilled, more happier writing and building things online.
I am not lazy anymore. I am obsessed.
