You Can Live More Than One Life

Subconsciously, we have been trained to stick to one thing and it\\u2019s hard to break out of that, or explore a completely new path. You might even be telling yourself things like, \\u201cI\\u2019ve invested so much time, money, and energy into this already,\\u201d \\u201cI don\\u2019t want to waste all that I\\u2019ve learned,\\u201d \\u201cIt\\u2019s too late for me to do something completely new and unrelated,\\u201d \\u201cI\\u2019ve come so far, might as well stick it through,\\u201d \\u201cI\\u2019m not a quitter.\\u201d That is the sunk costs fallacy.

We think that we only have one life. We think that once we\\u2019ve chosen that school, that major, that job, that career, that expertise that that\\u2019s what we have to stick with. It\\u2019s what we know, it\\u2019s what we\\u2019re good at.

Let\\u2019s challenge that. What if we don\\u2019t only live once? What if we can live multiple lives?
