Starting a new project, venture, or career?
There is a common mistake. Premature optimization.
It's like artificially narrowing reality with some random criterion. You need experience for selection. But you're lacking it for now.
So, at the beginning, being open-minded is a boon. A savvy business analyst once told me, "With a heap of data, I simply begin sorting them in various ways. Later, a pattern emerges."
Now, if you're already an expert in your field, it's a different story. Having been through a lot of events and facts, you can already tell truth from lies.
What's the boon now? Focus. Being versatile has turned into a curse. Before, you'd say "Yes!" to everything. Now, you're cutting through with a "No!" sword. Selectivity demands ruthlessness and discipline. It's clear what for.
At every stage, your personal meaning propels you. Only its form changes. It gradually crystallizes out of the solution like a salt crystal.
The more you trust yourself, the faster meaning will reveal itself.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
