‘Every hobby needs a professional angle’… painfully relatable! I work as a career coach and still forget that presence is the goal. Not everything needs to be a content opportunity- this is a timely reminder. Thank you for this!
Thank you so much for coming up with this entire series Udayan. Really gives a solid framework to give some meaningful introspection about our careers. I have alwaya wanted to do this but did not come across the exact steps, which this series is providing me!
This was so relatable and exactly what I needed to hear today.
Watching others land their dream jobs or seem like they’re constantly moving forward can send you spiraling into that familiar “What am I even doing?” mindset. And social media? It has a way of magnifying that feeling, making you question your own worth or progress.
Lately, I’ve been hoping to carve out just one hour for myself, 60 minutes of complete silence. That’s all. Just 1 hour out of the 24 we all get. But the 5-4-3-2-1 deadlines, back-to-back meetings, reminders, and presentations often feel like they’re eating away at my brain.
We live in a world that celebrates the “busy bandwagon”—even when it’s clearly burning us out. It’s like being busy is the point, not what we’re actually busy with.
So here’s to finding that quiet hour. To cutting through the noise. To choosing peace, even in a world that equates stillness with falling behind.
Thank you for this, truly a thought-provoking and much-needed read. :)
