It really is about paying attention.
You know, a philosopher will tell you that the mere fact that anything exists at all is actually kind of stunning.
We're just so used to it.
You know, I'm sitting here at my desk and I have a couple of pieces of paper, you know, and that paper, oh my God, I mean, that used to be a tree and that tree used to be a seed.
And I'm like, holy cow.
I mean, everything is amazing if you just haven't forgotten it.
So...
We all live in an enchanted reality, but we've just gotten so accustomed to it, we've turned the enchantment off.
So, we offer...
office hours to our students because, of course, there's always a conversation going on about what do I do with my life?
And that's true of my clients and true for everybody.
And Stita came and she started describing a problem that I thought I'd heard before.
She said, I've gone through the university and I've majored in chemistry and I got all A's like my parents wanted me to.
And I've got admitted to both Yale and Harvard medical schools, except I don't want to go to medical school.
I said, what's the problem?
She said, well, I'm also a pianist and I love music and my parents didn't want me to study music because it's not an important enough thing, but I care about it.
So I didn't major in music while I was here to honor my parents, but I kept my music going and little do they know that I also applied to Juilliard school of music.
And I've been admitted to get a, um, a master's of arts in piano performance.
And so I've got a problem.
And I said, oh, so your problem is how do you tell your parents you don't want to be a doctor?
