I feel like I should get obsessed with something and be the best in it. What should I choose? But the problem also is that if I really want to be the best by far then I have to commit many years, like being the best in smaller sports or being the best in certain video games or something like that. It is more logical if I would just have smaller goals and get obsessed with them, but this is against my feeling. Also I'm not interested in money, this is why I write in this subforum.

What are you passionate about that simultaneously offers value to society?

That's all you gotta know. The rest is the journey...

I'm passionate about anything which is about perfecting a skill.

Step 1 is experimentation.

Until you can specifiy the ONE thing you are going to do, you'll remain stuck.

I worked in 8 different industries in a span of 2 years and now I am happy as fuck because through that process I found what I'm doing for the rest of my life.

Try something. Anything. Fail. Try again.

It works.

The word should implies a level of guilt. 

 

What you want to say is I will get obsessed with something. 

What I will want that to be for you is understanding why you feel where you currently are is lack.

What should you choose? That's kinda like asking people to pick your favorite color for you, its not possible, you gotta find whats true for you. Find something you absolutely love to do and you will be the best at it because there would be no comparison when you truly love something you do.

The notion of comparison will naturally dissolve.

Thanks for comments.

I talk about hobbies. I don't talk about jobs. So far my hobby is to be good at a certain video game I like and be the best in it. This means putting many hours of playing every day for many years. I'm just not ceartain that this is what I should do. Maybe there are better things to do.
