Toward more discovery
“I’m going to the store.”
”I’m going for a walk.”
”I’m going to wander around for a while to see what happens.”
The first two modes are common. But the third — the one that is ambiguous, loosely defined, and open to possibility — is the most fertile.
Being open to discovery isn’t just about following your daily routine with more curiosity.
Sometimes it’s about clearing the slate entirely. About removing all the guiderails, signposts, and expectations … and leaning into all that could be.
Every so often, forget being goal-oriented. Be recklessly, creatively, whim-oriented.
