 You have to follow your own North Star. I cannot count the number of people I know that should be National Geographic photographers in Africa, but they're literally freaking accountants sitting at a desk, punching and crunching numbers. One thing that I've seen in the Masters of History, whether they were Hakuin the Zen Monk, or whether they were famous writers, or whether they were creatives or doctors, is that the number one commonality is that they followed their star. They didn't listen to the pressure of their friends and family and society, which is always changing and is always changing at different times in history. The number one thing they did, even though their paths were different, was that they sought the same thing, which was to follow their own compass. So if you can follow your own compass, your own North Star, doing what you actually want to do in life, that is the prerequisite for doing incredible things.
