As Vaklav Havall said,

work for something because it is good,

not just because it stands a chance to succeed.

This is something that I think a lot of people misunderstand.

They think that the goal of their life

is to identify something that will work,

to identify something that has the odd stacked in its favor,

rather than to think about what matters,

what's important,

because if something is important,

if it speaks to you,

if it's going to give resonance to your life,

then it's worth doing even if it's something

that is almost guaranteed to fail.

When something matters enough,

regardless of the odds,

it's worth engaging with,

because even in the pursuit,

you can find meaning.

And as humans,

one of the things that we hunger for most

is purpose and meaning,
