Spoke right to my soul, you have a beautiful way of conveying such depth with simplicity!

Appreciate the articulation of realizations that are sometimes hard to come to terms with, but then become the true growth engines

Hi Phillip! I took the quiz and got 'The Magician' - it resonates so deeply. Having a master's degree in coaching gives me a structured foundation, but I also have a whimsical, deep side that loves uncovering the underlying patterns most people miss. Thank you for this wonderful quiz and your newsletter. Hope you have a great day!

Finding my own path isn't really the problem. I know what I want to pursue. It doesn't make money, I believe it is necessary for human survival. My efforts could give us all the means to turn away from the old script. I cannot build it alone, it isn't just for me. I need others who can see where my path is leading to help. I am trying to find the right others to build with together.

I still need to eat and to feed my family. I didn't pursue the quick win in my previous career so I don't have the benefits of self-sufficiency to break from the script. I recognize the excuse but it has very real tethers. I'm building momentum (painfully slowly) but I don't know how much time we all have left, the world is accelerating quickly.

Is it the fear of death or just the knowledge of its reality?

I love the answer and how deeply you realised from your experience. Sometimes what we realise is not what we expect.

Great post, I love the idea of breaking away, not being approved by society nor being able to fully explain it to people. I'm on this journey myself, building a retrofit advisory service. I have the basic training and the want to improve people's lives and homes. I'm not sure where this is leading me but naturally had leads come through and am started to be seen as an advisor without having any product or formalised service. It's a journey and open for exploring it, to do my own thing (whilst somehow paying the bills!)
