I'm sitting here giving you a huge round of applause! Yes, it's all about choice!

We forget that we can always make another choice, go down a different path and if that doesn't work, turn left and try something else. This is not something I lived my entire life, but I wish I had.

While I'm still working the "responsible" job (can't wait to punch that in the nose someday), I'm spending time trying new things to see where they lead. Right now, I'm dating my ideas, not marrying them :)

SO MANY THINGS HERE. First, I love the reference to the push of "what do you want to do with the rest of your life," and the tie-in to humans seeking "the Holy Grail." I used to call it seeking "the one big thing." Meanwhile, that usually results in stagnancy, because the thing 1. doesn't exist and 2. is usually created by a million tiny little things that happen now and only now.

I also love the mention of the "two bad choices" the young person's mind gave them -- "wrong path" or "vast nothingness," as you WELL KNOW that people's brains do that. "I quit my job OR I become homeless." ... well. There are a thousand billion ga-jillion other realities or possibilities there! You are in the space to create ANYTHING! Everything!

Ohhh such good stuff. Extra love that you used the word "chutzpah."

Hope your readers leave INSPIRED!!!

PS: Thanks for the shoutout 🕺🏻
