“How do you plan to get there?"

[You - IV]

Driving from here to, say, Sandpoint, ID, is simple enough. There are basically two options. Pick one; follow the map.

The same is true for becoming a doctor, a lawyer, or a dentist. There are certain certifications requirements. There are basically a few options to get from here to there. Pick one; follow the map.

But what if I’m not traveling to a place on the map or pursuing a career with a traditional path?

Where’s the map to be a novelist?
A community organizer?
A composer?
A market gardener?
A prophet?

Where’s the map to become a prophetic farmer that organizes outdoor symphonies (and writes novels on the side)?

Allow me to save you time: there isn’t one.

“What the heck are you doing?” and “What’s you plan?” are indirect ways of asking you to fall in line, follow the maps, and don't ask questions.

There is no map from here to the future. You’re charting it.
