Nowhere is the essence of Must more purely exhibited than in childhood.
What were you like as a child? What did you enjoy doing? Were you solitary or did you prefer a crowd? Independent or collaborative?
Day optimizer or day dreamer?
If you don’t remember, call your mom, or someone who knew you well in your early childhood, and ask for stories about what you were like as a kid. Take notes on a piece of paper and hold on to them. These stories hold the earliest seeds of your Must.

“If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it’s not your path,” Joseph Campbell said. “Your own path you make with every step you take. That’s why it’s your path.”

The very notion of having a calling—that you must have one—can be a nonstarter. It feels overwhelming.

Thinking that your Must will appear, fully formed, is like believing you can write a book by wishing and thinking. But doing one small thing, daily—...

The snake is the ancient sacred symbol for transformation.
In order to grow, it must shed its skin. This process is painful, dangerous, and necessary for growth. The snake’s insides are literally outgrowing its outsides, & it must remove its restrictive, outermost layer.
