Zach, what drives you to work so hard?

Wanting to make a better life and world for my child.

What drove you before you had a family🤔 Sorry if it’s too intimate, just curious on what drives people to work so hard, because it feels like I’m lacking in some department

Not too intimate at all, it is a good question. I have always had high motor but have not always focused it in an area that fulfilled me. When misdirected or ignored I find myself getting moody or antsy.

For me it mostly comes back to creating and building. I have to have an outlet - music, woodworking, business development - where I can recharge my batteries and challenge myself.

#[2] I am not sure if that answered your question, so to add some context: I find I am able to work hard and stay focused if I am actively engaged with a creative outlet in my spare time away from work. If I neglect that creative pursuit I end up getting burned out and I’m unable to keep working hard.

Yeah, I see how that works for you. I guess I just lack the fire and excitement to actually even pursue anything, professional or hobby🤷‍♂️

Some times the fire isn’t lost or nonexistent it is just stifled a bit. Hope you can find that excitement!!

Also, go easy on yourself. Life is full of seasons. We can enjoy both the hard work and the R&R periods.

Nothing really excites me anymore in the long term, and I’m not sure if that’s because of my world views, or is it something additional to worry about

I heard once someone saying; if you have a purpose in your heart that’s way larger than you, you’ll always have enough passion to keep going. Start from there, start with a dream ✨ there r a lot to do to help make this world a better place for us & future generations. It starts within each one of us 💛

🫂👊

Past Zach must have subconsciously known Future Zach was going to have a challenging Monday when he wrote this.

Hello sir, you seem to know what you are doing here. May I ask, how can I get that badge next to my username?

Haha thanks I’m navigating a little but still learning tons everyday!!

The badge is a NIP-05 verification checkmark. That can be done a few different ways. Some are paid, while others are free.

#[3] should be able to help you out with one for free although I don’t know specifics.

Or you can visit https://nostrplebs.com/ and pay for one there. Not sure exact price, but I believe it is based on your username length.

Oh sir, thank you for all of information. You have a beautiful soul, hope you know that 💙

That nostrplebs one looks beautiful, but as I can get one for free, then that’s lovely also💙

This one could work too for free verification. Just saw it, and wanted to share it.

Thank you so much for remembering me 💙 I already received mine from ezofox, and I love how it looks. Until one day, when I can maybe join the nostrplebs, I’ll rock on with this one, just because of his generosity💙

👊 looks good by the way!! Ezofox is legit! Glad they got you set up!

Thank you so much for the love, especially with how difficult it is here with the free public spam-filled relays 💙
