Meaning Scales

July 1st, 2008 by Stephen

Posted in Follow Your Dream, Links, The Examined Life |

Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: In Context Blog

Hugh McLeod at gapingvoid has some thoughts here that mirror my own, lately.

But given a choice between two paths, both valid, how do you know which one to take? How do you know which one has the meaningful payoff?

The answer, of course, is that you don’t. Whether we’re talking about moving to New York to become an “Art Star”, or opening up a humble coffee shop in Alpine, Texas, that’s why they’re called “adventures”. Because you don’t how it’s going to end.

All you can do is admit to yourself that yes, this is an adventure, and to accept it as such, surprises and all. With a little bit of practice you eventually get into the flow of it.

Yes, anything worth doing takes lots of practice. Adventures included.
