Great article though, Eric. Being comfortable finding your own path is something that takes a lot of introspection. For me, it usually requires some bigger life events or changes to help me truly prioritize where I am going.
Getting metaphor for talking about challenges on the career path. Or should I say "meadow-for" - considering the terrain you are following. You kept saying day 12, but how many days are there in your trek?? 268 miles is quite the hike! I just want to reflect that you are way-finder for others. I was just today go over the Otter transcript of my session with you, and not only was the session amazing, I think even more useful is the transcript record of where you took me, which is serving as a map of sorts right now to keep me going in the right direction. So many thanks, and I'm cheering for you to make it to the end. If it were me talking to you about stopping, I think you would ask me to put myself into the future and ask what it feels like to look back and celebrate that I completed that journey. Though I have to admit, mobs of horseflies would give me great pause as well. : )
Great storytelling in this one, Eric! I really enjoyed the way you combined your words and photos from the Pennine Way to relate to our career paths. I've definitely had that feeling of being lost and disconnected, at times, from the reasons I started on my path. One thing that usually helps me is to read something that reminds me of those reasons and gets me inspired about my field.
