Love the Ikigai ref. But about, "Curiosity Needs Boundaries" you can’t explore something if you’ve already drawn a line around it. It’s like an openworld game you explore and might discover something exciting and rewarding. That is the adventure. You can’t set boundaries before you begin because you won’t know where the edges are until you’ve gone too far. Often, the things you find along the way may not seem useful now but might become important in hindsight.
Of course, I’m not saying you need to draw the line at the beginning of the race. But once you’re in it, exploring and going deep, there comes a point when curiosity starts to overtake your peace. In such moments where you find yourself scattered and pulled in too many direction, the best thing to do is draw the line before making a call. Because it’s still too early to choose one over the other. But once that boundary is set, whatever keeps pulling you beyond it, that’s probably where your heart lies.
And when your heart feels like it’s in multiple places, the line you draw, and the role you give that passion, helps you choose. Helps you know what will help you survive life, and what will help you savour it.
