Photographer who probably loves writing more than taking pictures. Also addicted to personal development somehow. Life is a game and you're the main character.
Years ago I started freelancing with full passion and I would often use this heart with fire emoji ❤️🔥 to describe myself, but after 2 years filled with boring and repetitive work I replaced that emoji to 📸 instead because after all, I'm just a photographer, right?
Never did I know this simple change in mindset was so deadly.
I stopped loving life.
Slowly, subconciously.
Day by day, week by week.
Don't know what to do.
Don't know where to go.
Don't know why I'm here.
Drained.
Burnt out.
On 14 December 2023,
I asked myself in my journal:
"I started this with passion, but am I just slowly becoming a photo machine now?"
Where did "he" go?
Where did ❤️🔥 went?...
Life ran autopilot.
Interested in nothing.
Nothing is interesting.
Until I got that emoji back.
Because without that fire burning in my heart, I'm dead.
My soul is dead.
A soulless body is just like a machine.
Since machines started to learn AI, why not humans start to learn 爱 (love)?
I hate to say those 3 words directly, but this template is for you.
Directly copied from Ali Abdaal, recreated and optimised by me.
Life is beautiful, but life is not perfect.
Please don't feel down when you're not at 10/10 satisfaction in many areas of life. It's not meant to put you down.
I hope you use this with a good mindset.
Use this to bluntly review your satisfaction with life and compare it with your previous results every six months.
