Embrace The Side Quests Of Life
As worldwide chaos and craziness have always been—and always will be—the mainstream, I have recently been thinking about what lies outside of “the box.”
Like in an open-world video game, what sort of side quests can we follow?
Does it involve a random encounter with a group of friendly people somewhere in Eastern Europe?
Or time in the mountains hiking around as the sun goes down?
Becoming a dual-citizen of a country eventually, or spending time at a mid-Western bar on a Friday night?
These are all very random examples, but that is the point: to get you thinking.
Of what is mainstream and what is unconventional.
Figure out what that looks like for you, get it down on paper, and just go and make it happen.
No matter how long it takes: if it is something that will give you true fulfillment, even if it is on the smaller side of things, it will be worth it.
Get creative and find what is right for you.
