"I don't know where I'm going, but I know exactly how to get there."
I recently heard this quote from Boyd Varty. It spoke to me, because one of my greatest fears is not getting to where I want to be. Not because I don't think I'll get there, but because I don't know where "there" is. I don't know what I want to be , do or accomplish . I don't know... See more

Compared to this, Kelly’s version of doing his life’s work seems so joyful, so buoyant. So much less ... angsty. There’s no suffering or ego.
