“Adventure is a path. Real adventure, self-determined, self-motivated, often risky, forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world.” — Mark Jenkins We as young professionals are all encountering the world of work firsthand. In our navigating of this world, whether it be crafting a career, building a business, honing a hustle or investing in a vocation, we find ourselves on a path of progression that extends as our experiences increase. Every adventure consists of hills, valleys, twists, turns, sprints and slows but in the simplest sense, every adventure consists of steps. When the path is clear and light is present, taking steps forward is easy but when we are faced with obstacles and darkness is around, knowing and further, taking these steps can be difficult. When we can't see the way forward or are overwhelmed by the steps we see before us, we can become stuck, frustrated and discouraged. The question then, in moments like this, becomes, 'how do I figure out my next steps?'. In this episode we address this issue. Through the sharing of a simple, silly but significant story, the author shares how he was able to navigate one of these dark moments in his journey, figure out his next steps and how he uses this experience to continue stepping forward.
