Do you really need to sit back and think about a plan or what you want to do?
How about simply finding yourself in situations where you can see opportunities and then take risks and act?
Exposure. Human to human interactions. Simple acts of kindness. Bold moves. Finding the truth of the situation. Experimentation. Playfulness of it all. New reference experiences.
You see, most people never act. Elon Musk could give his business plan to a hundred random people and not a single one would do anything or get anywhere with it.
In my opinion, nearly anyone at the top of their field found their way there over time. By testing and tweaking and acting on opportunities. Not by trying to write an algorithm for the next 20 years upfront. They approached something and they figured it out by doing.
I found that once you embrace this philosophy and put yourself out there, the feedback loop kicks in, your perception changes, you start seeing more opportunities around you, you find your likes and dislikes, and just follow your path more engaged.
To paraphrase Vin Diesel's character from Knockaround Guys:
How about starting with meeting 500 hundred new people while you go about your day to find out more about them. You need them for experience. To develop skin in the game. To get past the silliness of it all. To finally figure out how you can help yourself by helping others.
