Earlier when I was searching for a job, I was driven, I had a purpose, I was chasing something greater than myself.
Now, I got a pretty good job. But I'm confused now. What do I want? With the rapid developments happening in AI, and companies pushing for automations, what to do?
Back to my hometown.
Took rest till 1 pm. Set up my room.
And was very much distracted for the remaining time.
Tmrw i need to build my system, physical, mental and career all three.
And start acting on it.
Start something and finish it.
Let's see how it goes.
The meaning isn't in race.
It's in finding out the why.
It's in stopping, looking around, observing what's happening.
It's in the silence.
Because once you have the clarity of why you're running, you'll be able to give your all to it.
Because it makes you feel whole with God
In the age that we are, for example me at 22, we'll never be able to achieve the dreams that they sold us.
After 80s, the famous "Revolt of the elites" happened. Because they couldn't see the middle class getting closer to them. They love the gap between them and the average.
Because it's never gonna be enough if you keep running.
The race is endless.
Even the richest haven't got everything.
The true meaning is to seek knowledge, love, abundance, and be creative.
Only then can you connect with God, which is already inside you, by being whole.
But the meaning of life isn't in running mindlessly, consuming and following.
It's actually in being creative, finding your why, finding that divine spark.
Something which truly connects you with God.
Finding peace in whatever you have and do.
They convince you to believe that you'll only get happy once you achieve those dreams that they sold you.
They make us believe that our lives are meaningful only if we are running.
Running in a race, which they created.
To keep following them. So that they can make even more.
It will need at least 15-20 years of your life with your full potential, and an idea which might just click and a whole lot of randomness and luck.
And they sell you the dream that you can achieve this.
They convince you to keep running for the next big thing.
We are just consumers, to whom they sell the dreams of a better life, more money, more freedom.
But this is a lie.
You watch reels of a big lavish house, multiple sports cars, and the freedom.
But the truth is you're never gonna make it. It's mathematically impossible.
25 Dec update
Solved the POTD
Prepared to move, packing+moving. Going back to my hometown.
Watched a video, which initiated a conversation with a friend that was really insightful.
I feel this video should be illegal to watch. Raw, accurate and brutal.

I'm doing DSA, but I need to revise. Attend contests and upsolve.
1-2 Mock interviews/week.
I need to upgrade my resume and I need better projects, using all the knowledge.
I want to change this.
I have information, but lacking in implementation and proof of work.
There are so many things that I've left on hold.
Those are important but I always procrastinate.
Now is the time to finish those first.
DBMS, SQL, OOPS, LLD.
There are other things also which I need to learn: Linux, Networking, Mathematics for ML, ML, LLMs, LLMOps, Cloud comp
I'm starting again today.
And this time I will not skip even a single day.
Consistency builds momentum. Momentum builds confidence.
Even if I fail, I'll come back and try again. I'll keep coming back until I don't achieve what I need.
I want to see how far I can go.
I came on this platform to share my journey, my learnings and documenting everything along the way.
But somewhere I skipped a day, then second and then I was back to consuming the content again.
Instead of creating and sharing things, I started using it for cheap dopamine.
Something is really wrong with me.
The way I'm thinking about my life currently.
The mindset needs a change.
And with that, I MUST act too.
I have goals, but I'm not giving my best, not even half.
I know what I'm capable of. I've done it in past.
Need to break out of loop.
Today’s interview with a startup Founder & CTO humbled me hard.
It raised so many questions about my skills and where I stand in tech.
What’s the smartest way to rebuild and grow from here?
Any tips would help
