In today’s post (I wrote it on the 11th of September, 2025), I will try to provide information on how to find liberation in limitations. This is a topic that’s close to my heart, and I hope my experiences can provide some insight.
In general, I would say that I would be genuinely grateful for receiving some kind of guide on how to find liberation in limitations. Still, I think I can write something about it based on my experiences. After all, I’ve been working in the accounting area for sixteen years (I started doing it in March 2009). Since October 2015, I’ve been regularly doing street photography on Warsaw’s streets. Moreover, since May 2017, I’ve been writing texts for my blog, which I started running in September 2017. As we can see, I’ve been mixing and struggling to cope with my greatest creative hobbies and my professional work for almost ten years (comparing doing street photography and my office job).
After all, I work a minimum of 40 hours per week.
I have time limitations. So, how am I finding liberation here? I believe that if I had unlimited time for my creative passion, paradoxically, I would not be as productive as I am with the limited time I have now. How do I know it? I feel it. I simply feel that having a limited time, paradoxically, makes me more productive. I cherish the moments of freedom while walking and doing street photography. I think that if I were able to walk 24 hours on the streets of Warsaw, I would do it much less frequently than I do today.
Also, I often find limitations while having writer’s block. During such moments, after initial pessimistic thoughts, I start to write words that literally appear in my mind. It’s the persistence in these moments that leads to breakthroughs. A few days ago, I even wrote a text by using this method within ten minutes. That’s how I try to find liberation in limitations.
