We're All Trying to Figure It Out

“I alone don’t know”
-Tao Te Ching

Occasionally you’ll meet someone who seems to have it all figured out. “It” meaning their life and work and how they shape it. Based on my experience in my own life and from my experience of coaching other succesful people, I can assure you that everyone is always trying to figure it out. It seems to be human nature to desire growth and change.

Next time you meet someone seemingly “invincible” remember that they are human just like you and trying to figure it out in their own way just like you. Someday soon people will proudly declare this publicly and it will not be perceived as weak. It will not be taboo to discuss such matters and people will openly work on figuring it out together. Of course if you look around you can already see people doing this. There is great strength in not knowing. This much I know!

    Sad but true. I would add Fun as a common “sign” of weakness. People are afraid of people.

    And though figuring out a lot(in certain area) is great, I found other than the mere result, the process of figuring itself is quite fascinating too :)
    Gotta keep figuring around, cause it’s so fun~
