I’ve always been a very curious person, that feeling of “wow, I wish I could do that…” is not something I enjoy feeling. If I can learn something, and I’ve always felt fully capable of learning anything, I will do it.
I remember that a few years ago, one of the things that sparked my curiosity was breakdancing. On a somewhat more primitive YouTube than today’s, I used to search for video tutorials on how to do certain dance moves and steps. One of the channels I liked the most was from a Spanish guy who explained how to do the movements, but his channel began with a challenge: “train for 365 days.”

Eventually, the guy completed this challenge, and after that, he continued making videos, tutorials, etc. To avoid the imminent death of the channel right after completing the challenge. After a few years of constant work on YouTube, I remember one day the guy said, “I’m fed up, tired of dancing, that activity that used to motivate me so much, no longer does, I feel worn out, my passion has turned into a job, an obligation, and I don’t feel good about it.”
