'Trust will get you further; but trust is only successful if you persist mistrustful as well; both are always necessary.' -Stegmaier, What is Orientation? #PhilosophyOfOrientation#PlayingWithFire

Hot take: your “purpose” isn’t something you find.
It’s a direction you keep facing.
Not “What job should I have?”
