Late last year I gave into my fears of the thing i had been working on just "wasn't the right time" because of some global events etc. I thrashed around and panicked trying to pivot to something else but I realized I was giving up on doing the creative things I love doing for zero gain. I'm back now fully focused and doing even more. I'm heading towards an alpha release very soon and I'm more excited than ever.
Giving into this helped me reaffirm what i want. It helped me rapidly create 3 businesses while I was thrashing about where i learned a ton -- they just aren't for me. Now i'm bringing all of that and a refreshed excitement and perspective back to where i want to be.
