Is anybody else out here just kind of like struggling with something like that or even something similar? Also, another thing that I found that I'm maybe not struggling, but it's interesting. I've been on this multi month journey of applying for jobs and stuff and I figured I haven't gotten a job at this point because there was a time where I was like, something must be wrong with me. I've worked past that or worked through that, I should say

Music. Oh, my God. I so completely relate to what you're saying. You know. Uncertainty can can be exhilarating because you can kind of say put your hands up and be very Zen about it and but contrary to one's instinct. Which is to plan and to be responsible. I think there's a balance and it's a practice of surrendering to things you have no control over and then it's also an attitude shift to say what I do think I really want to see

And once I got these answers, there actually became something to work towards again and to work for and to plan for and to create goals for and all of that. And even though I created this vision in a way that was ten years out, nonetheless, having the vision and the goals in the first place took me less. It took me out of the state of being and more into the state of doing and planning and such

See, and I knew I wouldn't be able to hit all the points in one. I knew I'd miss at least something. Maybe there'll be more, but this is honestly just my jam. I get stoked on life purpose and vision and all of that. So I was excited to see this as well and have this conversation because it's one I have in my own head all the time. But anyhow, you mentioned trying to figure out why you are not getting a job right now
And the way you described it as well, everything just sounded like not just sensible, but you're coming up with an idea of what you would want your life to look like, breaking it down into, like, shorter term goals and longer term goals that are still allowing that room for the flexibility and everything. It really is something I need to work on. My goodness gracious
