As so often dude, you speak from my soul in a way.
I am the same, completely. Tried so many things, started so many projects but in the end it never gave me that thrill to just continue doing it. I got jealous of those who found something they could be doing all day every day where I just felt frustrated after a while.

Now for the twist: I recently discovered that all the things I had done are actually leading up to something, because they interconnect and complement one another.

I read Robert Greene's "Mastery" which is a recommendation for sure. He argues that true mastery is achieved today not by becoming a super expert in one skill but in surpassing the limits of said skill by fusing it with other skills, skillsets or completely unrelated disciplines... in order to MAKE a discipline that noone has even conceived of.

It is then really up to the allrounders, the jack-of-all-trades to create something really meaningful, not to those who only have that one thing they're good at.

If you think about it from that angle I'm sure you can see just how exciting and entertaining a writing cook with 3d modeling skills could be who found a way to fuse his talents into something noone has quite encountered before.

Not sure where my path is leading me, but I feel more sure by the day. This is all worth something and we should really embrace this tendency to hop skillsets in the faith that it will not only get us to where we need to be, but that we will create something eventually that is unparalleled and cutting edge innovative, which... incidentally brings us incredible amounts of joy doing it.

If we just keep going I feel we will stumble upon it eventually.

Blessings dude!
