André Duqum

It literally becomes your vehicle for self-actualization and realization.

And I'm curious how we can just talk about how to zone in on discovering that calling.

Right.

Or do you refer to, you know, discovery of yours?

Because you're somebody that started making pizzas, French horn player, think tank, happiness expert.

You've gone through many different iterations, and I'm curious how you arrived.

Yeah, it's a lot.

Yeah, I can see for sure.

Like that naturally transitioning at different points.

You're spiraling more and more closer towards alignment of what you're here to do is what you would say.

I hope it's heaven.

It reminds me of this quote, which I underlined from the Gita that you quoted in your book.

By performing one's natural occupation, one worships the creator from whom all living entities have come into being and by whom the whole universe is pervaded.

By such performance of work, a person easily attains perfection.

I know.

It reminds me also of, I was very lucky and blessed to stumble upon some teachers early in life.

So like at 16, not even necessarily just in person, but, you know, through different books and audios.

I remember Earl Nightingale saying, you know, the strangest secret is that man becomes what he thinks about most often.

And that success, his definition of success, the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.

The progressive, over time, realization of an ideal that you deem worthy.
