Very inspiring letter. 20 years old and he was already grasping the concept of phenomenology, a concept I write about these days. Inspiring!

I also think a lot about my own goals vs my ambition. I struggled a lot recently with my desire to have at least one healthy and evolving project to keep me busy, but mostly to have a sense of purpose. I need to create!

Having unreachable goals, whether due to circumstances, bad evaluation or timing, is a heavy burden. I’ve been holding that weight over my shoulders for 4 years, despite my efforts to make things happen. Recently, I understood the problem: I was mostly swimming. Worst, I was constantly swimming against the current. The best way to lose energy toward poor results. But lets say I grew up stronger. It helped me to find the answers to my problems. I studied the currents and the waves around me and found a way to use their power to move by floating smartly, mostly effortlessly. Since then, I have been able to launch a very interesting product in a short amount of time.

Water is an awesome metaphor in order to understand the forces among the universe, and that includes us!

“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”

— Bruce Lee

I’d like to share my story with you:
Understanding the problem
Defining the solution

Thanks for the read. I will share it through an upcoming article.
