A Haunting Quote By Albert Camus That Inspired Me to Change My Life Trajectory
A Camus-inspired awakening.
I wanted to have it all — the whole life experience. I imagined so many possibilities. But no one can have it all. But then, I thought, what’s the best way to honour who I am? How do I make my curiosities work for me?
How do I follow my bliss and make it my best shot at making a life? What’s the one thing I can do to make my life incredibly interesting?
Those questions inspired me to start “thinking in public.”
What started as sharing what I know online turned out to be the best decision of my life. Existential philosopher Albert Camus said something that made me realise building a life from your soul was the key to fulfilment. He said, “You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.”
His beautiful words were the final inspiration I needed to focus on my true north. There are many possibilities, but you only have one key. You might be tempted to pursue a promise that feels right to everyone but you. Why exhaust myself on what’s out there?
Turning inward was the one thing I needed to do all along.
