I feel like I have the opposite problem. I don’t actually have many strong beliefs that guide my life, which leads to “drifting” and lack of intentionality.
The most fulfilled people in life are probably wired more like JAC than anything else. Like if he applied that level of belief to a startup as he did to his faith I imagine he’d be wildly successful by now.
- zyang 7y agoExtreme beliefs are usually coping mechanisms. It’s not something to be envious about.
- nraynaud 7y agomaybe those people just make more of a good story for an article or movie? it might be a sampling bias. We have to be careful in a world dominated by storytelling. Maybe that guy was actually completely different than what is reported, it's just that a publication needed a good story to sell advertisement.
- Ididntdothis 7y agoI also sometimes envy people who totally identify with something be it religion, business or something else. It must be nice to have full conviction following a path but obviously this can also go wrong.
