If life were simpler and I could reset entirely, I'd love to do something for a living where less could go wrong and there are fewer consequences. I'm glad I'm doing impactful work and I love to code but the stressful thing is that I am responsible for a lot of things at once and have a hard time disengaging.
Since I don't plan to change things up any time soon, it would be awesome if I could maneuver my current work to the point where I can more easily disengage for periods of time without too many concerns of things going wrong.
And now that you bring it up, actual show jumping would be one hell of a fun thing to get into full-on. I don't have the patience to work my way up in that craft. I don't like mucking stalls or picking hooves or pretty much any of the dirty jobs I've had around horses, but if they just let me be the rider and I didn't have to do any of the other jobs or even training with young horses, that would be pretty sweet 😄
Lot's of people struggle with disengaging, that's a side effect of caring about what you do. I honestly haven't figured this one out.
I guess everyone would like to have a few clones of themselves to do the work while our original selves go out to play like we are kids again. Riding, running, dancing etc. without a care in the world.
Have you started shopping for a clone? (business partners, team members etc.)
BTW. a friend of mine decided to become a doctor a while ago, so she moved to a different country to study medicine. She didn't even speak the language there. She was 56 when she started University a few years ago, yes 56.
Just the other day she casually mentions that she was a professional jockey in her younger days and that riding is her "first love" and she wants to get back on the horse!!!

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
If money was not the issue, what would you rather do for a living...
What you're doing now, a horseless show jumper, or something else ? :D
ps. I saw the photo of the jumping, super impressed!
