Come Alive
Doing work that makes you come alive is not some luxury just for a few lucky people.
It’s everyone’s birthright.
If there is a company you are head-over-heels for, figure out how to create value and create a role for yourself. It doesn’t matter if they’re not actively hiring!
Even if you fail, you’ll learn about yourself and the company. You can always try again! Don’t regret passing up the chance to come alive.
And, most likely, that company would be thrilled to receive your pitch.
What you seek is seeking you.

Quote of the Day
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
