Thanks and totally understand! :) Wishing more heroic moments for you in life! I wish I could be someone's hero! haha.. Great going! :)

Strangely co-incidental. I'm currently going through a divorce myself. Add to that a voluntary sabbatical from work that I quit last year because I hated getting into the comfort zone. Since then I've been spending a lot of time alone, trying to do different things, and of course writing what made sense to me. This book was not even planned for when I first started writing to be honest and yes, I strongly agree on not putting any limits on who we can or want to be because of a certain personality type or a test. I just believed that the reason I wasn't able to choose "one" thing to pursue in life was because I shied away from making that commitment to excelling in one thing. In my book, I'm only trying to convey that it's important to understand the pros and cons of our choices in life on who we want to be, since it's easy to get carried away by the lure of Entrepreneurship or life-hacking. I did try both and I hated it. I now know that I would never enjoy pursuing either of those paths and would be happier by simply writing and following my curiosity.

Thanks! I do love creating comics. Just not been very consistent. I'll probably be more inclined to create an entire Graphic Novel. I do have a few planned. Hopefully, I will complete it!

Thank you for all advice and support. If it means people would read it, I'd definitely opt for creative commons. I haven't really figured out how to do it, but Google should help with that.. :)

Thank you! :)

I feel overwhelming gratitude already. Thank you! I will surely be experimenting more with Patreon and the pledges as I go along. Starting with the lower levels on Patreon! :) I've now now included a $1 pledge to set the ball rolling.

A lesson I teach myself everyday now. Persistence and hard work. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you! :)

The Patreon thing is totally an experiment. I find it funny putting it in there myself since for now I have nothing to show for except the book I plan to publish. But, I do dream of writing interesting articles, a lot of science fiction, and other interesting things. So, it's just an experiment for now. I definitely do not expect ANYONE to support me as of now.

You are right, I've been blessed, in the sense that I have no responsibilities or children or old parents to take care of and I feel even more lucky that my parents have always been extremely supportive in whatever career or profession I chose to take. But I do take solace in the fact that I've never been dependent on anyone financially or otherwise, since I've saved up quite a bit all these years.

ENFP or not, INTJ or not. The biggest comforting aspect for me from that test was to know that I'm not the only one who feels this way or has the same problem. I've spent many years feeling totally aimless after having dabbled in one two many careers.

I really DO NOT want to be an entrepreneur. I've realised that now. But I'm currently jobless and have no intention of getting one soon. Sort of like a sabbatical. So I'm dabbling with writing and basically, experimenting for now.

Agreed, a typical Jack of all, master of none. The main problem has been sticking with one thing or one career for long. I tend to get extremely distracted by newer ideas and projects even before completing the one at hand.

Consumerism! lol.. But honestly though, I seem to be in an eternal state of confusion on this one. But I do seem to enjoy writing a lot and I'd probably end up writing more! :)

You know you're probably right. I haven't pushed my own boundaries. Part of the big reason has been that I've enjoyed starting things but have been terrible at finishing them and it has always bothered me. Even upset me to great extent. But I agree, having the ability and taking action are two different things and there is serious lacking on the "taking action" department for me.

Not even close and it probably IS a shitty book. But I did spend 6 jobless months to think about it and write about it! :) I wrote it for myself. And I'm hoping it might help someone as well. Hell, since you've mentioned it, I will give the book away for free. I'd rather people read it than make me rich.

I wouldn't really call it pseudo-science. For long I really did think there was something wrong with me for not being able to choose what I wanted to do in life, since I enjoyed doing a lot of things. It would also be a major cause of depression for me. But it's only when I took the test that I figured out that there are so many out there who are facing similar day-to-day challenges like I am. There's comfort in knowing that. I'm also a part of the closed community ENFP group on Facebook and people really do have the same problem. Multiple careers, lack of clarity and focus.
