Excerpt from a conversation (YouTube interview) where Gail Kasper and the host discuss finding one’s purpose or “fire.” The speakers emphasize that discovering purpose often requires trying different things (dabbling), being willing to risk failure, and changing life direction when an initial path feels unfulfilling.
It is your ferociously important reason to exist, that thing that you have to do because the result of failing is worse than if you went after it and it just didn't go your way. So not doing it is worse than that. You'd rather fail. And sometimes in life, you and I both know you start in one direction and you're like, it's not as exciting as I thought. I want to take it in a different course. But you can't ever do that unless you start to change the direction of your life or get out there and do something.
And I like that you called out the idea of like, you know, call it like dabbling to find your fire. Like where it's like you got to try different things, right? This idea that we all just wake up and know what our purpose is. Like, oh, I this like you have to try different things. You might find out what it actually is.
