Going by the media and news websites, it often feels like the world is coming to an end. Our jobs are supposedly going to AI, and we’re heading toward a recession. Every other day, some new piece of negative news takes over the front page.
I remember graduating in 2007, right in the middle of a full-blown recession. We didn’t have the constant internet exposure that amplifies anxiety about the future. I was fortunate to have worked on a few open-source projects, which eventually helped me land a job.
I know we’re not living in an ideal world, but that doesn’t mean we have to live in fear or anxiety. We have to believe in ourselves, keep sharpening our skills, and stay open-minded to new opportunities.
In the end, we live our lives in our own minds. Life becomes what we choose to see.
