I believe Da Vinci was the guy who kept his options open. He was able to gain insight in so many fields that still hold value to this day such as painting, architecture, medicine, biology and even military engineering. Nevertheless, he was never the “greatest” at any and he was known for jumping from one unfinished project to the next. However, Da Vinci was a freaking genius…
Well put! This brings to my mind Seneca’s analogy “If a man knows not which port he sails, no wind is favorable.” in the sense that one must focus on the destination to achieve the desired result.
That made me sad. "The last thing they want is to lead superficial lives. But they often end up doing so because their wide range of interests drags them in too many different directions." That's me and having lived on this planet for a few decades, I'm sad I haven't been able to NOT live a superficial life and my interests are all over the place and therefore cannot commit to anything. I know the cure is to pick something but the fear is always but what if it's wrong and so the cycle continues. If you had any concrete steps, I'd greatly appreciate them. Don't want the other half of my life to be flushed down the drain as well.
Yeah David, this is a good one. You can have as many options as you like, but you don't get more life to play them all. Choose wisely and stick with it.
