My imagination is on fire today.
I was sitting here thinking, and I thought of the perfect book everyone should read before entering any profession or relationship: The Dip.
The Dip is a book about quitting.
I know you're probably thinking quitting has nothing to do with work or love, but it has everything to do with both.
Life is about passion, obsession, and finding a career—and someone—you can't live without.
When you're lucky enough to detect that career or person, you feel swept away. You feel like you can levitate. You feel a deep burning. You feel called.
To succeed in your career or love life, you have to focus obsessively on that one career or object of your devotion. You have to forsake chasing everything else.
I might not be conveying my thoughts with exactly the right words, but if you get a moment, watch this clip. It's very short.
Last, I'm always open to connecting with kindred spirits and imbibing disparate ideas. If you're close by, let's meet for coffee or tea, swap stories, and share common interests. If you're around the world, we can be pen pals. Feel free to drop me an email.
Tell me I'm wrong. Or tell me I'm right.
