I can’t remember the exact moment I started working out daily. Maybe the spring sun outside inspired me to go for a run. But nearly two months later, it’s become a consistent part of my daily life and it helps with anxiety and sleep. It’s also an exercise in patience. Every time I work out, I’m reminded of how much more lies ahead.
In just 46 days, I discovered a passion that so many people spend their lives searching for. It’s a slow process that’s taught me something even more important:
✨ If you’re waiting to “find” your one true passion in life, you probably never will
Because passion isn’t something you stumble upon one day, you create it. One day, I actively tried out something new. I downloaded the Runner’s Club app and went on a guided run.
It changed everything.
The results energized me. I wanted to work out the next day and the day after that. A month later, it became a chain. Looking back now, I realize how far I’ve come and I’m proud of that small but powerful accomplishment. And that’s when passion shows up.
So don’t wait for the perfect “wave.” Start where you are. Go outside for a walk, dance to funky beats, or do some low-impact moves in your living room.
👩🎨 The same applies to your professional path in life
People rarely land their dream job on the first try and instantly feel fulfilled. I didn’t. Instead, I spent years working on someone else’s vision, putting more trust in their abilities than my own. It led to stress, self-doubt, and a few mental breakdowns along the way.
But if you never try new directions or work on something of your own, how will you ever discover what drives you? Without that, work starts to feel meaningless.
That’s why I’ve been building neonine.ai for almost six months now. The platform has gone through multiple iterations, but looking back, I can’t believe it’s really happening. We’re talking to people this week — and there’s so much more to come. Bringing my passion for tech and AI into the world feels like winning at life, no matter the outcome.
☀️ Carpe Diem, live for today
Are you living in the here and now, or constantly stuck in the past or future?
For me, the biggest shift over the past two months has been slowing down and recognizing how tiny daily wins stack up to create real change. I used to obsess over what’s next, what meetings I had to plan, what deadlines I had to hit. Now, while walking my 8,000 steps a day, I try to focus on what’s around me — not the next fire I have to put out.
Somehow, life feels lighter this way. ✨
