Finding your life's work is the hardest part I think. Once you solve that the rest is easy.

- skrebbel 9y agoI never understood why the term "life's work" tends to be singular. There's something defeatist to it.

- white-flame 9y agoIf your life's work & passion is to have the perfect collection of beach rocks, or to get rid of every social nuisance you perceive, or to catalog your old storage unit full of family photographs, etc, none of that makes any of the rest of life easy. The entire startup scene is a survivorship bias of only select "life work" samples that happen to align with the ability to monetize it. And even though some of the above examples might be productized for others, building a business is a completely separate dream than that of the personal accomplishment. There's more people pursuing the latter dream than the former.
