Whilst I was helping a friend to move house a number of years ago, I ended up meeting someone there who was into self-development. It didn't take long for me to see that we had a lot in common.
Not only this, he also worked as a photographer and made videos. I thought that everything was falling into place and that it would only be a matter of time before we were making videos and documentaries together.
Another Reason
However, while I had everything worked out in my mind and believed that we had been brought together to create videos, I soon found out that this wasn't the case. In reality, I had come into contact with someone who would teach me a hell of a lot.
When I look back on this time in my life, it was as though I had all this energy but it wasn't being used in the right way. I would say that the person I had met, on the other hand, had been around the block a few times, so to speak, and had his feet firmly on the ground.
A Human Doing
At this stage in my life, I was focused on doing things and trying to go further with my writing career. This was just part of it, though; the other part was that I would often feel angry and frustrated with how things were going.
It was then similar to having a lot of fire power, but not being able to hit any of the targets that had been pinpointed. Still, I did what I could to not get caught up in these moments in my life and to keep going.
A Different Approach
This person wasn't extremely motivated, which meant that he wasn't tearing around trying to achieve things. I found it hard to understand what was going on, and I couldn't work out why he wasn't more motivated.
I would often ask him if he felt the need to achieve certain things and, when he said that he didn't, I thought it was strange. But while I thought this was strange, he probably thought that it was strange that I needed to achieve so much.
