ENDA Episode 76→ The time when ENDA decided to start back from Zero
The beginning is the worst part: leaving everything, taking risks, and with a high probability that you'll fail. Yet sometimes fear is what propels us forward.
There was a point where ENDA seemed to have it all figured out: finishing a thesis, holding down a decent job, and working on an animated series as a compositor. Life looked stable until 2020 came along.
Suddenly, it became clear that the local industry had its limits: the salary wouldn’t improve much, and the projects weren’t pushing my skills any further.
That was when the idea of leaving my home country surfaced. It was daunting: saying goodbye to family, the hard-earned achievements, and established connections. It meant learning a new language and a new culture. Becoming fully independent was no small step, and the thought of starting completely from scratch felt terrifying.
The beginning is the worst part: leaving everything, taking risks, and with a high probability that you'll fail. Yet sometimes fear is what propels us forward. It’s easy to get lost in the “what-ifs,” but then you begin to see all that could be gained. You start listening to the right people, and suddenly, without noticing, someone gives you the final push you need to take a leap of faith.
Have I obtained all I was expecting after making that decision?
No, but what I have gotten until now already proves that even if it is hard at the beginning and you fail multiple times, you can always start back from square one.....
No, you can always start from Zero.
The journey continues…
