Hitting the Brakes: Part II

I took a long hiatus from WA. Sure, I'll log in, do a little training here and there, but there was one major problem I encountered - my niche. With the niche chosen, I started building a website, and found potential future post topics that could be born while composing a post, but I simply wasn't feeling it. Creating content became a struggle. For me, once I lose the feeling of something, I disconnect. My attitude is, and I'm sure some of you may agree, is that if you feel something is worth it, you WILL put the necessary time and dedication into it. My niche wasn't filling that role, and that saddened me. It saddened me because it was based off an activity I have done for nearly three decades now. This struggle forced me to really question whether this activity was truly a passion, how much knowledge did I really have regarding it, and perhaps most worrisome of all - was the WA program REALLY for me?

As my website began collecting digital dust, I began delving into studying other interests and hobbies of mine, and my time began to be distributed over different areas. From the self-studying, looking for a job, and other miscellaneous life things that add up; and my WA training suffered from it. While I still had the dream of getting out the conventional employment rut most of us find ourselves in at some point in our lives, I've always been a realist, and know that I need to earn while I learn on this platform.

As 2019 rolled in, I began logging back into my account more. I'd still like to complete my training, and at the moment I'm juggling whether to keep pushing on with my current niche for training purposes, or explore other possible niches that may hopefully resonate with me more and run with one. Time will ultimately tell.
