Is a life without a grand mission a failure? Is having multiple career paths a sign you can’t commit to anything? Is not knowing where you’re going a problem? No, of course not. If anything, it’s more interesting.

Your life doesn’t need a purpose or grand ambition. It’s enough to just wander along following your curiosity, finding interesting things, and sharing what you know until you die. Doing that – and aspiring to be a good creature along the way – makes for a pretty fantastic life, really.

What does matter is making yourself proud. That means living in a way you admire and valuing your time enough to not stay too long in a place you feel stuck.
