Adventure

In life, you are being asked to choose between different doors, without really knowing what is behind each one. Finding a path that is interesting, satisfying and that you feel passionate about is a slow process of discovery. It is as much about finding out what you’re good at, and what kind of sparks light your fire as being about the work itself. Put another way, it is a constant process of letting go – letting go beliefs you had that didn’t match reality; letting go things you tried and didn’t enjoy; letting go the fears of failure. Life is very short. That is why we must take care not to get too stuck – in beliefs, institutions, or jobs.
