How is this taking place?
But, I mean, if I had to answer, I guess I don't think there is a why, really.
It's funny, the quote, the thought that comes to mind is really like a kind of a cheesy quote that I'm sure is printed on a bunch of mugs and t-shirts, but it's Thich Nhat Hanh.
I'm going to get it wrong, but it's something like, we're here to awaken from our illusion of separateness.
And I don't really see that as an answer to the why question, although that's how it's framed in his quote.
We are here for that purpose.
I think if there is a purpose worth being here for, that's kind of the ultimate, I think.
I haven't really had this conversation with my kids.
I mean, we have lots of deep conversations and they're all kind of pertaining to each moment or whatever they're facing.
I think career is difficult because in so many ways, I just feel like I'm lucky that I ended up being able to do for a living the thing I love to do.
But the truth is- There's no such thing as luck.
Yeah, well.
There's no such thing as luck when you believe in free will, right?
They're all illusions.
I really, in retrospect, started working on my book 30 years ago and had no idea that I was working on a book.
And this kind of ties into my advice, which is I think it's really important to
follow your passion and to find things that you love and that you find inspiring and motivating and exciting, whether they relate to your career or not.
And I think many times
If you persist just for the pure passion of the thing itself, it finds a way into your everyday life.
That's what happened to me.
