Sometimes you want something so bad it consumes you.
It’s all you ever think about.
You drive towards that goal until you get it.
But something strange happens once you achieve your goal.
You realize that’s not what you want.
You thought that’s what you wanted, but things have changed.
Maybe it was a goal that started years earlier or more recently.
Maybe you work your whole life towards something not knowing you wanted something else.
It’s always good to test to see if what you think you want is really what you want.
Instead of moving to the middle of nowhere, go live in the middle of nowhere at an Airbnb for a few weeks.
Instead of getting an MBA, take a few courses that you would typically take in an MBA.
Instead of switching jobs, shadow someone in a role you think you want.
You never know until you do it.
Sometimes you have to go all in.
If you can dip a couple toes in the water before jumping in, it’s not the worst idea.
You have to try to find what you really like.
