I have to ask

I want to experience something so compelling that I realize clearly that I am meant to do that thing. To live in an awesome city is ancillary to my purpose for being there. So I should choose a location that allows me to experience many different things.

I recently heard a story about how a man named Jay Shetty met a monk when he was 18, and he instantly felt compelled to go off and study with him. That would be the perfect gift; for someone to come into my life that shows me what I REALLY resonate with. I want someone to show me something so compelling that I'm willing to drop all plans and safety to go do that thing.

So I have to be open to such an experience. Which means I have to be open to ANY new experience.

What's a new experience I can try today? Even if I'm resentful to try it.

Well, I played the violin for the first time yesterday. I could get really good at that. And my boss's wife plays violin. I would have asked her for lessons 6 months ago, but I just never really liked her.

Fuck.

I have to ask.
