ENDA Episode 176→ The time when ENDA walks the endless path

When I first started this journey, I aimed to reach the greatest heights.

I still do, to this day.

At the beginning, I thought things would be easy, and for a while, they were.

But then the straight path I thought was laid out for me started to tilt upwards, until it turned into a staircase.

With every step I took, another ten seemed to appear ahead of me, making it feel impossible to get any closer to the top. I kept running up the stairs, but the path felt endless.

I tried to learn more, to practise my craft more, but the steps kept outpacing me.

And then I realized… this wasn’t the first time it had happened.

Even before this, I had faced a similar situation (https://lnkd.in/eBDrqr6e), and my conclusion back then had been simple: keep learning from it.

So I started to look back at my journey so far, and I realized something: I was still far from being called a master, but being an apprentice had always been a constant in my life. And that had shaped the way I approached challenges, even when I didn’t have a mentor to turn to.

So I decided to stop worrying about not reaching the top, and instead focus on what I did best: learning without end.

Who knows? Maybe, by doing that, my endless curiosity would eventually overcome the endless path I was walking.

I’m still in the middle of that journey. But I’m grateful, because along the way I gained a new identity, one that has stayed with me ever since:

Endless Apprentice

Or ENDA, for all of you.

The journey continues...
