empty yourself to become someone
changing your identity in your emptiness
Have you ever wondered why, as a child, you dreamt of becoming someone else out of nowhere?
It’s because, as a child, you had nothing.
You had no idea what it meant to be a doctor.
No idea what it meant to be a lawyer.
For me, I had no idea what it meant to be a software engineer.
You were a blank slate.
Wandering through life with wide eyes.
We had no clue what we were doing, yet we were still dreaming.
Still happy.
But now, things feel different.
Now, when you want something, it feels harder to reach.
You feel the pressure. You feel the pain.
But what if the answer is to empty yourself again?
To become like a child.
To navigate life not with rigid plans, but with curiosity—
To experiment with new frameworks, new libraries, without expectation—
To create apps and tools just because.
You do the work simply because it must be done.
Because the moment you start questioning yourself is the moment you build walls around what you can become.
Let God guide your work.
Your work is not just code or content.
It’s the path toward your higher self.
