The story
Maya was stuck at 24. Despite doing everything “right” – good school, honors, stable job – something was missing. A mentor’s question shook her: “Why you? What’s different about YOU?”
She realized she’d never considered this. That night, Maya dug into her own ideas and dreams for the first time.
Her education taught conformity, not standing out. She started questioning everything – why “security” trumped risk, why grades mattered more than creativity. Maya began unlearning, challenging her notion of success.
She devoted nights to self-study, exploring topics she cared about. It wasn’t easy rewiring her thinking. She stumbled often, but each time led to new insights.
Within a year, Maya crafted a path driven by her own ideas, not someone else’s checklist. She discovered that purpose wasn’t a one-time find, but an ongoing journey of questions she now dared to ask.
If this resonates, it might be time to start your own journey. Chapters 1-2 of “The Journey – I Wish I Knew This Before I Was 21” can guide you in breaking free from conventional thinking and finding your unique path.
After all, who says you have to follow someone else’s map?
