I came across this video this past weekend and couldn’t help but share it! These kids are incredible, and their obvious passion for what they’re doing bleeds through in their music, even at such a young age! Check more of their music here and here.
Every now and then I come back to this piece written by Elle Luna (a startup techie turned artist) and ponder for a bit. The crossroads I’ve been finding myself on for the better part of the past 3-4 years have been just this, the fork in the road where one path leads to “should” and the other leads to “must.” If you have a few minutes on your hands, go ahead and read this piece.

| Humans are by default hopeful and optimistic creatures. We usually think about the future as though it will occur for us with absolute certainty, and that makes it hard to imagine death as a motivation for living. But knowing that my friend could potentially never wake up forced me, unexpectedly, to contemplate my personal drive for existence. Why do I do the things I do every day?

It was only very recently that I realized purpose is something you are supposed to create for yourself.
