"Build the life you want to live" is a phrase that changed my life. I learned it while stuck in a soul-sucking accounting job. I was feeling disillusioned with my new career. I wanted to help people directly, not make rich corporations even richer. I made a pivot. I learned to code Android apps and uploaded a handful of them to the Google Play Store. Coding didn't stick as a new career path for me, but of all the things I've made in the past decade, those little apps still make me so proud and happy. I finally felt like I was helping people. I received a lot of nice feedback from people all over the world. One person even told me they used my little Change Calculator to help their kid get a job. I made that app 8 years ago, and I love to see people are still using it. I'm learning that "building the life I want to live" doesn't mean I have to wait for some grand moment when everything finally comes together. Even the small stuff I'm building...
