Designing a Life that Matters

This is what I was made for.

Hidden Brain
Designing a Life that Matters

And then and then only do I deserve to be happy and feel like I'm being my authentic self.

Hidden Brain
Designing a Life that Matters

And that almost never really happens.

Hidden Brain
Designing a Life that Matters

Yeah, she really wanted to make a jump and she was particularly attracted to something radically different because it really wanted to feel different.

And a number of her friends were in the process of going up to the San Juan Islands and jumping into working together and revitalizing an old farm and making it an organic farm.

Hidden Brain

So maybe I can just go back to the land and have a personal experience and join this commune of organic farmers.

Hidden Brain

And that's what's really going to work for me.

Hidden Brain

We don't really know how that all worked out for her, but there's a very similar story.

I don't even really like this.

Hidden Brain

This isn't that interesting.

Hidden Brain
Designing a Life that Matters

At the end of the day, these people are kind of boring because all they want to talk about is this one little narrow view about art.

Hidden Brain
Designing a Life that Matters

And what I fell for was the radical shift.

Hidden Brain
Designing a Life that Matters

And radical shifts are radical.

Hidden Brain
Designing a Life that Matters

But that radicalism doesn't last very long.

And you're still stuck with waking up being you, living in the world.
