What should I do with this realization about my narrative and interests?
I have a question about the episode 388: Should I Bail Out My In-Laws? | Feedback Friday and the clip Rediscovering Passion. I've come to realize that for most of my life, I had a narrative playing in my consciousness that I was supposed to be an artist or an entrepreneur because I’m objectively high in trait openness. I drew for most of my life and was a professional graphic designer specializing in marketing. I enjoyed how my designs affected people, and the idea of starting a business felt good in the moment. However, I now realize that I was only able to create art if promoted, and I actually dislike the process of creating art. I only really like the validation of my skill after a piece of art is complete. This revelation seems to apply to the notion of being an entrepreneur as well. I don’t know if I necessarily want to be one, but I want to be able to say I made something of myself to those who doubt me. I’m beginning to think that my narrative about being an artist or entrepreneur is causing me harm and preventing me from moving forward into something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve been telling myself that I probably don’t have any interests at this point and that I’m doomed to a life of ambiguity and confusion.
If I have worked super hard on myself physically and mentally for years as a 21-year-old man, why does it sting much more when I open up about my life, values, and passions and still don't achieve a deeper connection? This question relates to the episode 704. This Is How You Discover Your True Calling and the clip Embracing Your Truth.
