What transformation or creative process are you currently in?

January 10, 2025

“If you can see your whole life’s path laid out then it’s not your life path.”

Joseph Campbell might as well have invented the mic drop with this quote.

But it rings true.

One of the most challenging parts of the human experience is embracing the unknown.

And for much of our lives—if we’re courageous enough—we’re walking into the unknown. 

It’s only natural to crave certainty, to want to know what’s ahead. But life doesn’t work that way.

And honestly, would it be as fulfilling if it did?

As Boyd Varty beautifully puts it in his book: “I had to learn to be in the process of transformation, not trying to be transformed. You can’t skip past creating to the creation.”
