Stuck In The Middle

I was talking about how I’m stuck in a weird and not really rewarding middle in my life right now when we were done with our Last Safe Investment call tonight. I don't have a passion that my life revolves around at the moment and it's kind of sad.

The majority of my youth was investing my time and energy into competitive swimming, and I absolutely loved it! I had so many friends who shared the same passion for swimming and I traveled for swim meets all the time, but got what they called "burned out" around 16.

I don't think that there's anything wrong with losing your love for something, but it kind of sucks when you don't instantly find something right after to spend your life living for. I spent the last two years of my life finding out who I was outside of swimming defining me and I also traveled across America visiting so many places. I made friends that I wouldn’t have had the time to meet if I was in swimming and I found out that I really like researching human psychology.

When I think about it, my life hasn't been wasted these last two years. I just have to wait to officially start Praxis in September to have something I know I’m going to love, which is spending time with driven people who are passionate about breaking the mold and pursuing careers that they can provide value to.

It’s a weird transition, but I'm going to appreciate the calm before the storm. I'm going to hit the ground running soon and I have a whole lot of pent-up passion to give!
