Haha, I’m pretty confident you are on your way to great things and not shooting heroin in a tent. Have you ever read “The Surrender Experiment” by Michael Singer?
Jack - this is an exquisite piece - one to reread when I’m grasping for certainty 😀.
I really loved your ending -
“But I’m trying to keep my focus on the microscale of today, pursuing the daily inputs with intention and faith, and reminding myself that, if I do, the next five years might be as wonderfully unpredictable and unexpected as the last.”

The path of molding of one's character must go through the forest of unknown.
It's amazing to see your progression in this focus of yours - focusing on the day to day and letting go of control with those things outside of your control.
A great reminder for me as I walk my walk in this life.
Wonderful lessons here. There's a tremendous book called "Sacred Pace" by Terry Looper. In it, he describes this concept of "getting neutral." I love that idea...you're neither going backwards, but not racing ahead either. You're waiting, watching, preparing. It seems so counterintuitive, but the path reveals itself in those moments of surrender.
Also killer sentence: "By surrendering to uncertainty, I’m carving an authentic life aligned with my values and passions." Love it.

Wonderfully unpredictable!
