This is a blog post about finding the thing that makes the other things you do meaningless.

For me, that thing is music. And, I’ve always known.

First of all, when I hear music (whether I play or not), I have no other thoughts. It’s like meditation in a way, its purest form.

Another thing is that everything else I do during the day has lost meaning: software, marketing, whatever it is, none of it makes sense anymore.

Music is like the feeling of death, in the sense that it makes me question what I do. Does it make sense to continue to work on software products?

Yes, it does – from a financial standpoint, at least. If I had no money problems, then I would not think twice about dedicating my life to music.

For me, music is the thing that makes other things meaningless. I wish you could find that thing for yourself.

Thanks for reading,

Mike
