My passion, commitment, and dedication to esports remain unshakable—and for good reason. Esports aligns seamlessly with my personal life, family values, and professional journey.
At the age of 43, I came to a clear and firm realization: esports is my destiny. Yes, I may look younger—perhaps because I work in a youth-driven ecosystem—but age aside, destiny often reveals itself when passion, purpose, and consistency intersect.
Over time, I’ve learned that everyone has a space of deep interest. When that interest becomes a lifelong commitment, it gradually transforms into purpose—and eventually, destiny. For me, that space is esports.
This morning, I want to share practical indicators that may help you identify whether your connection to gaming and esports goes beyond interest and into destiny.
Key Signs That Esports May Be Your Destiny
Lifestyle
Your daily life naturally connects to esports—through how you think, work, relax, and engage with others.
Interests
What consistently captures your attention aligns closely with gaming, technology, digital culture, or competitive play.
Passion
Your hobbies, entertainment choices, and leisure time are directly or indirectly tied to gaming and esports.
Profession
Your professional skills—whether in design, media, education, technology, management, or communication—fit naturally within the esports value chain. Esports is an ecosystem where almost every skill has relevance and room for growth.
Future Plans & Business Vision
You can clearly envision a future where your work, value creation, and economic growth are closely linked to esports. You already have ideas—and perhaps ongoing projects—within the space.
Play & Purpose
You understand play as a powerful human value—one that extends beyond recreation into education, wellness, business, and entertainment. You see play as purposeful.
People
You value human development and understand how esports can unlock talent, confidence, and opportunity, especially among young people.
Community
Your approach to esports is community-centered. You are naturally inclined toward leadership, empowerment, and safeguarding collective interests above personal gain.
Partnerships & Relationships
Your network—partners, collaborators, and associates—share an interest in esports, making collaboration and experiential engagement easy and organic.
Kids & Education
You see esports not only as competition but as an educational pillar—one that helps children learn, discover, create, and prepare for the future of work.
Legacy
You value integrity, transparency, and long-term impact. You understand that true legacy in esports is not defined by prize money or flashy programs, but by people empowered and lives transformed.
Getting Paid—and Sometimes Not
One of the realities of esports as a calling is the balance between reward and sacrifice. You are comfortable contributing time, expertise, and resources—even when financial returns are delayed or absent—because the value you seek goes beyond money.
Joy
You experience a deep, personal joy in gaming culture—the games, the people, the content, and the shared experiences. This joy sustains you.
Lifelong Learning
Esports demands constant learning—technology, games, live media production, and digital innovation. You embrace this evolution, understanding that learning is essential to growth.
This is my understanding of how one identifies their destiny in esports. At 43, I see clearly that nearly everything I dream about and work on is connected—directly or indirectly—to this space.
I share this to encourage others to discover their own path in esports and to view it as a long-term, meaningful journey, not a passing phase.
I look forward to engaging with esports even in my 80s and 90s—still playing, still learning, still contributing.
Find your destiny in esports.
Harness it.
Build with it.
As always,
More Vim.
