While not all of these pursuits are things that I would want to do, the scenarios are told in a way that everyone can glean valuable motivation to do similarly for their own big pursuits and purposes in life.

how the book changed meAdvice to myself after reading this book...
Don’t feel bad about changing your plans or ideas. It's good to have a flexible mind especially after learning new things. Don’t judge what you want based on other people’s opinions. You are different from everyone else, and your dreams will be different from those of others in your life. Find a new pursuit after you have finished the last. The end is the beginning. One small step at a time. The way in which this book changed me was in simply strengthening my resolve. I now remember that I need to review my daily actions in terms of how they add up to the greater pursuits that I talk about. I only have this one precious life. I can’t spend any more time not trying for what I want out of it.
