Tnx! Have been contemplating for almost 2 years already. That's why it is sometimes quite frustrating and therefore I decided to drop a text here in the forum Luckily its a focus sport(like to keep it anonymous) so my body will be able to do it for another decade atleast. At the end of the day, like everybody here also says, it's not wise to drop everything and maybe sleep under a bridge in 2 years. Better keep investing some time daily and enjoy the ride I guess even though sometimes I feel impatient. That being said, I wonder also from a curious mind point of view how much the producing is "addictive" in a way and if that also blurs the vision somewhat. I believe nowadays that "Dopamine" has a huge impact on our behavior. That 's why I don't have any notifications and very minimal social media. Just don't want that disturbance in my life, no judgement to others. So I'm also trying to figure out if the fun/boost/excitement/drive/pull towards producing tracks is 100% pure or also (over)influenced by dopamine and has a slightly behavioral addiction to it....if that makes sense. Greets!

Hi Guys and Ladies!! Sorry for the late reply!! I didn't get any mails about replies so after a few days I thought I was the only one with this and stopped checking in. Bit too early I just find out!! Thank you all for your input and time! I've carefully looked into your answers and fully understand your advice. Thanks again and good luck to everybody!!!

Hi Everyone! I just have a doubt question about life purpose choice making. I was curious if there are perhaps people who have gone through the same and have some interesting advice. My situation is that I'm 41 and I've made my job out of my young kids dream, which is amazing. I'm a pro athlete in a sport that I can do till I'm 50 competitively, so I've been doing it for 30 years already and have another 9 years potentially...It feels a lot like I'm a little burned out by it, but that's also because of the way the tournaments work. Over the years you get more careful from bad losses, play the percentages more etc and you loose touch of the young boy that started with fire and passion. So I still feel I have this for the game, but I would have to change my style to bring this out more otherwise it feels like work more and more, if it makes sense. On the other side however my desire for electronic music making has gotten stronger and stronger over the years and I'm also bringing out tracks regularly, but not breaking through yet. I also have a very strong passion for this in combination with dj-ing which would be the dream: Break through with producing tracks and then build a name and start dj-ing from there. I have been dj-ing since I was 18 and the house music has always been a big passion. So when I'm doing the life purpose course and I'm around the Zone of Genius chapter(66) and have to choose just ONE thing to go for, I just simply can't do it....Because I still have the fire of the young boy inside of me for my work, but also the new fire and passion for the music. Plus after reading the "So good they can't ignore you" book, it just seems so crazy to drop everything I build up(rankings, sponsors, income) and just say ok no income now with wife and 2 young kids and work at it for 5 years with a chance to loose all my savings. Hope you can understand the doubt and frustration. I was wondering if fellow readers have experienced this and how their decision turned out. Thank you!
