What Gives Me Direction in Life

Daily writing promptWhat gives you direction in life?View all responses There are days when life feels scattered—when everything seems to be happening all at once, and none of it aligns with how we imagined things would go. On those days, I pause. I breathe. And I ask myself a simple but grounding question: What’s my purpose?Purpose is what guides me when I feel confused or lost. When problems…

What happened? When technology stops working as it should.

It started late yesterday and today I find myself limping along because core functionality isn’t working. It started with network then account things like logging in, then a failed reset, and now just trying to figure out how to get back to a working system. What happened? I don’t have a lot of time to try and figure it out and so am praying God’s hand will be able to lead and guide me to…

Turning Failure into Fuel for Success

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? Failure is something we all try to avoid, yet it often turns out to be the best teacher. Looking back, one of my biggest failures was a project I was passionate about but couldn’t see through to success. At the time, it felt like a dead-end—months of hard work, late nights, and sacrifices, only to watch it unravel. But in…

Health Journey Week 22 Update: Overcoming Setbacks

This morning started with a wave of disappointment. I stepped on the scale and saw I had gained 5 pounds of the 50 I worked so hard to lose over the past 5 months, 2 weeks, and 4 days. The month prior, I had been battling a three-week plateau, so this weight gain hit even harder. At first, I didn’t believe it. I stepped on the scale three more times, hoping for a different result. But the…

*moar pterodactyl noises* I FIGURED OUT THE NORMAL MAP!!!!!! :D :D :D

Now I'm having the same problem with the alpha map (all the flat smooth parts are supposed to be invisible/transparent), and unfortunately the "UV unwrap your shit, dummy" solution to the normals isn't working for the alpha for some reason, so I get to figure that out next! ^u^

The idea that Daniel is really aware again of the sacrifices of Formula 1 makes a lot of sense to me. It feels like he had to remake that choice to go for it, and having the time off reminded him of what life could be like without Formula 1 (didn't suck necessarily), so he really is doing this consciously again in a way that you lose a little of when the sport becomes your "normal" for so long

Honestly, I have found it fascinating to read Daniel’s interviews about his time off and making his way back into formula one. I know a lot of people find the way he’s talked about things too on the nose or maybe just therapy-speak, but I feel like there has been a thread of genuineness through everything he’s said. It’s not very often you see athletes put their hands up and accept they’ve failed like he did at the end of his time at McLaren, but then he went away and found an appreciation for life without formula one. As you’ve said, it didn’t necessarily suck but it probably also made him realise that this wasn’t the life he wanted to live yet and he had to make that conscious decision to come back.

And he’s talked about how important it was that the motivation to work hard came from himself and so he went back and looked for it in the Daniel who left home at 17. I see a lot of young Daniel in him now in those rare off-track moments we’re lucky to see. Obviously he’s outgrown the shyness and awkwardness, but he has the same quiet introspection now

Which is why I think he has this edge of anger in him lately. He feels boxed to a certain extent by this image of the carefree guy he’s played for so long on camera. It was easy to lean into that image when he was doing well on track because it made everything he did look effortless, but now it works against him because he has to constantly prove he’s here because he loves racing and that he’s working twice as hard as the others.

Personally, seeing Daniel not hesitating to call people out on their bullshit is so refreshing because it’s such a step away from the people-pleaser that he is or this always-on PR guy image he has. He can’t be bothered to suffer fools because he knows his worth, knows where he’s at and what he needs to do and he won’t hesitate to remind people
