- THE SKILL OF OBSESSION.
From early childhood to adulthood…
One skill gave me access to another world…
One skill which gave new friendships, knowledge, ideas, a rich vocabulary, an imagination of an artist.
It led me to befriend the first love of my life and led a life as a fighter.
The skill is…
Passion intensity phenomenon.
I made the name up…
It sounds cool and describes the intense focus of my passion.
Have you ever had trouble getting interested in school?
I was the worst student…
Bored as hell. I didn't enjoy a teacher giving lectures about the history of Finland or mathematics.
Grades were not great, and I needed special tutoring…
Yet…
When I got home from school... I exploded into life.
I was a lonely kid and used to read a lot…
Fantasy books.
The stories, adventures, twists and turns…
I could not read a history book, but diving into the world of fantasy…
Oh, boy.
I read The Lord of the Rings all night and all day…
Obsessively with curiosity.
Not only I read the book... I found out everything about the lore, history, fantasy worlds, characters, heroes, and villains.
I immersed myself in the studying of the topics.
The same patterns repeated every time I found an interesting topic.
Positive and the negative…
Boxing
Drugs
Criminal life
Recovery from addictions
Soccer
MMA
Olympic weightlifting
Writing
Podcasts
Okay, only a few of them are negative…
I became obsessed and found out everything about the topics…
Integrated all of the obsession into my life.
Boxing gave me a release from bullying.
Drugs and criminal life led me to self-destruction.
Recovery gave me my life back.
Soccer is still a passion for me, and I started a Youtube channel based on my passion. My knowledge of the players made it easy to find their best moments.
A lesson here… your memory is not the problem.
I can’t remember the boring school books, but if you want me to remember a certain statistic of a certain player.
I can provide it easily.
I even found my first love when I started MMA…
She was working at the counter of my gym.
Another story for another time.
Passion intensity phenomenon…
You see, my friend.
Following your passion is never wrong.
Even if it changes, you will learn something.
Have a nice Sunday.
