your path forward
Hey friend,
Everyone wants to live a life inside of their “purpose“ or “path“.
Hell would be to live outside of this.
But how do you find such a thing?
It’s been my experience that your path is found in your wildest dreams and desires.
No matter how irrational, crazy, far reached, unreasonable they may be.
Your biggest, truest, deepest desires, hold the key to your path forward.
But most are told to ignore these.
To be reasonable.
To do what is acceptable.
To follow the path laid out for them by others.
When I was 18, I had a strange or irrational pull to go to the middle east and go to Jerusalem.
So I booked a one-way ticket for $450 Australian dollars, with the shittiest layovers, and I went with no real plans once I arrived except my accomodation for the first few weeks.
That one action, in one moment, having the courage to follow one authentic dream or desire, has changed the course of my reality and the realities of many people in my life.
Most risks aren’t really risks. They just feel like it.
Remember if all fails, you can always return to mediocrity, it will always welcome you back with open arms.
