STOP following those self-help content, START doing your immediate tasks and responsibilities

-
The fastest way to reach any point is Start to walk immediately

I feel like I'm almost halfway to achieving my dreams, thanks to the mindset I've developed from all the self-help books and content I've consumed over the years. It's been quite a journey, and I've learned a lot. However, this relentless drive towards a big dream has made me somewhat of a workaholic. I've become so focused on achieving something monumental that I've started to forget about my surroundings and the simple pleasures in life.

The Cost of Chasing Big Dreams

This idea of achieving something grand has made me lose touch with everyday joys. I can't remember the last time I truly savored the taste of my food or enjoyed a small moment without thinking about the next big milestone. The constant chase for something bigger has overshadowed my ability to appreciate the here and now.

Taking a Break from Self-Help Content

So, I've decided to take a break from all the self-help content to clear my mind. Lately, my life feels a bit out of control. I've realized that all the self-help advice that once seemed so relevant is now adding to my stress rather than alleviating it. It’s time to step back and reassess my approach.

Focusing on the Present

I've been contemplating a shift in focus. I want to be more present and engaged with my immediate tasks and responsibilities. Instead of constantly planning for a distant future, I want to enjoy whatever is in front of me right now. I want to feel more connected to the people around me and appreciate the moments we share.

Embracing Smaller Goals

It's not that I'm giving up on my big dreams. I still believe I can achieve them, but perhaps at a slower pace. Rather than being consumed by grandiose goals, I'm now setting smaller, more specific targets that I can achieve in hours or days. I want to celebrate every little victory, no matter how insignificant it may seem. This new perspective is about finding balance and joy in the journey, not just the destination.

In essence, I'm learning to enjoy the small steps that will eventually lead me to my big dreams. This way, I can stay motivated and happy, appreciating the process as much as the end goal. It's a new chapter, one where I can be present, connected, and still driven, but in a healthier, more balanced way.

In this tutorial, I'll guide you through creating a Spring Boot application using the Netbeans IDE. While you can certainly create a Spring Boot application in Netbeans manually, it's much easier with a plugin designed for Spring development. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started: 1.

Spring Kafka - How to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Today, I want to share how to use Kafka. It's quite interesting once you get the hang of it, and I hope my explanation will make it a bit easier for you. So, Kafka is primarily known as an asynchronous messaging queuing system. This means it allows different parts of your application to communicate with each other without waiting for immediate responses. However, there are times when you might need a more immediate reply from another service in your project. Luckily, Kafka can handle this too. Here’s how it works: The client side sends a message to the server side via Kafka. This message includes a special identifier in the Kafka header request, known as KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID, along with a topic where the server should respond. The server, after processing the request, sends a message back to the same topic with the same correlation ID. This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl...
