I encourage you to fail more. Think about how theyve stolen your passion from you, and grafted it into a clear trajectory oriented towards success and not necessarily substance. Think about what that success will actually realize for people beyond yourself. And what I hope you will find is that by failing, a whole new world of possibilities will open up for you. Like the time I failed and remembered how to love strangers that, in our own drive to succeed, we neglect the millions of potentials for change around us. This is often the most transformative and exciting work. Work like building relationships with neighbors. Cooking. Making art and movements. The MILLIONS of skills that will never have a place on your resume. This is what Im asking you to do: think about the parts of your day that you do not tell people. The grey areas that do not make it into your interviews or resumes. This is the MOST important part of your identity. Major in that feeling. These things are not going to change policy, give me a diploma, or an award, but, I think we are doing the slow work of tearing at the fabric of our culture, and THIS: this is what I think its going to take to change the world. This is everything. https://youtube/watch?v=wxb-zYthAOA
