Realization #12 – Learning made fun.

Don’t aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

It all started when I was in my final years of engineering. Engineering, I thought, was an ideal subject for me. It had everything that I talked about most of the time – cars, finding solutions, creativity, craziness and most importantly art. The 2^nd year had passed on due to the pandemic (thank God). But for the 3^rd year, our colleges had begun working regularly. And I hated the part where I had to go to college, spend my whole understanding the concepts that I could learn online and come home and not work on what I really loved. So, what did I love, exactly?

When our 6^th semester started it became harder for me mentally. And the expectations from my parents, and my family didn’t help at all. And to top it off, I started having negative thoughts haunting me everywhere I went.

So, I decided to drop out of college to pursue my real talent, which was art. Art came easy to me. There were people with whom I can talk and understand their language.

And this became and always was what I loved doing. Reading books and articles about other artists, learning about them and so on, became fun. Not only it was fun, but my appetite for knowing more grew huge. And I felt liberated at that moment when I came to know what I love.

And here’s how you should do it too:

Conclusion:

Find something that you love. Something you would die for. Then start practising and get better at your art.  But don’t yet focus on making money, the money will come when you share what you have created with the world.

Create a life that you like. And not a living.
