At the age of 32, I was going through an existential crisis, drowning in a comfort zone and swimming in negative speculations about the purpose in my life. I constantly doubted myself about my professional career and I started asking, what is the thing that makes me happy in life?  If I could be known for one thing what would it be? What is my x-factor in this universe?

 

As a desperate reaction to my negative mindset and self-doubt, I gave up my full-time job and start this journey, the journey of my x-factor.

 

The first thing I did was to stop comparing myself with others, the x-factor is a competition to be the best, but this is a competition with you not with others. Every day you compete to be better than the day before. 

 

The second thing was to find my passion, what is that I love to do? It can be professionally or personally. I found that I enjoy helping people through creativity and design and that is my x-factor.

 

My x-factor is the reason I get up in the morning, it is the motivation that influences my mindset and behaviour to take life decisions and shape goals.

We all have an x-factor, something that makes us different in the universe, so what is your x-factor?
