Introduction<br />
I learned about how to make the vision real, even<br />
when I could not see the vision for myself yet! The next<br />
step in a journey is not always the right one. It is just a<br />
step. We tend to unconsciously project expectations of<br />
good or bad on that step. We evaluate the step from the<br />
vantage point of, “Did it get me closer to my dream?”<br />
or “Was it the most efficient step?” Although the<br />
evaluation has meaning and purpose, there is something<br />
to be said about the act of just taking the step, about the<br />
“unknowingness” of the next step, and the uncertainty<br />
of its outcome magically held in balance in the strength<br />
of vision and dream.<br />
I discovered that when I operate from curiosity, I<br />
have an endless amount of energy, and work does not<br />
feel like work anymore. I know we have all heard that<br />
before, and we strive for it, but it can sometimes feel like<br />
it eludes us. What if the experience of work as fun is never<br />
perfected? What if we are constantly learning about how<br />
to make our work fun? Maybe the work you do today is<br />
not as fun as you would hope, but you can start to take<br />
a class or pick up a book or start a conversation to ask<br />
someone who has knowledge you can leverage. It is the<br />
composite of these baby steps that, when looked at in<br />
hindsight, clearly highlights the trajectory to success.<br />
