What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

Daily Writing Prompt

I’ve thought the biggest challenge I have in my life is finding a job. But then life turns it around, and then you realise it isn’t. I don’t know if the challenge will take 6 months, though. I hope it will be quicker. Since my dad died, I had to think things through. I thought my dad would still be around, but that wasn’t his faith. I’ve decided to live in my dad’s place, or it was my childhood home. I already own part of it. The challenge is how and when I will get my flat sold. The selling is not the problem; it’s the cleaning of the place. My place is more manageable to empty because I don’t have many things. Or so I thought. I might not have much furniture, but it’s all the other stuff. Maybe I should get two more pairs of hands to help me, but it’s embarrassing (the state the flat is in), and I don’t want people to touch my stuff. So now I have two flats, but I can’t afford both. The sooner I get my flat in order, the better. That’s the biggest challenge I must face. The other is the job thing because I need to get money somewhere. But I hope none will take six months because that’s too long.

You must take one step at a time, and things will eventually be solved. If you put up your hands and surrender, things won’t change. If you rush things, it will only become a mess, and then you get stressed. Life is full of different challenges, and you learn from them. It also makes a person stronger, and you learn how to handle the pressure of life.

A port to bravery

What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.


Daily Prombt

Job search can be an absolute nightmare! Finding the perfect job that aligns with your skills, interests, and aspirations can feel like an uphill battle. It’s a constant rollercoaster of emotions, from excitement and hope to frustration and disappointment.

That’s what the AI assistant suggested about job search. I should apply for one job each month, and it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. I get suggestions about jobs to apply for, but they’re more about getting job experience. I already know how to be in a workplace. I need experience in my field, which is design. I don’t even get an internship, so how can I get more experience. I’m tired of searching for something that doesn’t exist. If I attempted something I was guaranteed not to fail, it would be entrepreneurship. But my port lacks enough bravery. I’ve read about people failing their business or that it takes years to make it successful. I don’t have time to wait years and years. I don’t know if I have enough skills to do things on my own. If I get a part-time job, I won’t have enough strength to think about having a business on the side. I thought finding a job would be easier to get, so I put entrepreneurship on hold.

But since I still haven’t found anything, I thought about it again. I just don’t know what kind of design work I would have. A lot of graphic designers do the same things. Trying to compete with them isn’t an easy task. They have more experience than I have. To become an entrepreneur takes a lot of work, and I don’t know if I’m up for it. It isn’t an impossible dream, though. It can be doable, but I need the courage and strong will to start. You don’t know how it will turn out if you don’t try, right?
