There is an intersection in life where two roads cross each other and neither leads to the destination you had planned. To get to this intersection, build something amazing. Give it away to everyone you meet. Hold it to its own light and marvel at its ability to bring people together. Build it up big and then set it aside. Pursue another avenue as your irreverence for the first project is fueled by someone you're trying to please. Pursue this new adventure with everything you have. Get up early. Stay up late. Abandon friendships. Abandon hobbies. Pursue this second object with every ounce. Climb ladders and stairs and hills. Climb. When you think you've hit the high mark, that is where the intersection is. This crossroads will appear when you've all but burned every bridge from the first and emptied every ounce into the second. This crossroads will appear when what you've chased in the second is snatched out from under you. This crossroads will only become real when all the doubts you've had are realized in a quick conversation with somebody that "thought you already knew". Find the crossroads. Choose your next line carefully. Go forward and never, ever look back.
