Hello everyone, friends and followers! Today I want to point out a theory that I am working on for a while. This is called “The Gym Theory”. So what is it? Think that world we are living in is a gym(transpose this complex reality into a gym). Think that there is nothing but this gym, variety of work equipment and people who are in different shapes, strengths and stamina. So I will give an example of my life and that would be more explainable. I am a game developer and there are millions of developers out there looking for a success, getting rich etc. Think that I see mega graphics, ultra successful games like GTA 6 and their team in the gym, like they have perfect shapes, they lift huge weights and they are better them me in anyways. So the question is “Should I leave the gym?” Fuck no. I am there for my training, my performance and maybe I want to go the sauna and relax little bit. So I really don't care how they are good, but focusing on my dopamine release and relaxation. Because I am only there for my goals, not their goals. I am also paying that gym and it is my right to use it. I am suggesting that life is like that in every point, you can convert any topic into that ideology. Okay let’s focus on my writing. I write because writing really relaxes me and I am not competing the other New York Times Bestsellers or make tons of money Medium participate program and etc. The main goal is that simple. Just to write and have fun! If you want money, you should go and open a food store or something, not writing you know. If you expect money and fame or related stuff, you start to feel that competition and it will hold you back. For example if I look that amazing games around the market, I will not start that incredible journey, okay I did not sell millions of copies but I gain how to write code, increase my creative thinking, release dopamine, increase my design abilities, and I believe these are more important than the money for sure! So next time if you want to start a project, just do that project for the sake of the project. Not for anybody, not for the fame and not for the money. Like the gym, you go there, have some fun and relax. If you lost your main focus, you will be in that competition and paralyzed. Because unfortunately there are tons of people out there who are better than you. And it is like a paradox. So leave this meaningless dog race and focus on yourself if you want to achieve great things. Because I believe every human has unique abilities and perception like we have unique fingerprints. Don’t leave the gym man!
