Early 2015 I was pretty frustrated with my career. Just a year earlier I said goodbye to my entrepreneurial aspirations and took a job at an IT-research firm in London.
Normally, that’s a good thing. The pay was good, so were the benefits, and I had great colleagues. But it wasn’t for me — I felt like I gave up entrepreneurship.
And on top of that, my personal life wasn’t great either. My girlfriend and I decided to end our relationship. And in that same week, my grandmother, who I loved dearly, passed away suddenly.
I felt a lot of things. But mostly, I was felt like I didn’t understand life. Have you ever thought about it?
What is life? What are you supposed to do? It’s not like babies are shipped with manuals that teach them to be awesome human beings.
For the first time in my life, I started looking for answers because I was tired of just living/existing without purpose.
When I went back to Holland for the funeral, I also caught up with one of my mentors. The last time we spoke was over a year ago — before I moved to London.
