Destiny is the Path You Cannot See

If you are not familiar with Salvador Dali, the closest living artist I can compare him to is Kanye West(before he got access to Twitter, at least).

To say that he was confident is an understatement. He was eccentric and genuinely felt that he was born to save art, as the quote from his autobiography above suggests.

He viewed himself as a missionary and his end goal was clear: to become one of the greatest artists ever. This requires more than confidence — it requires trust, something I think most people lack.

But in a world of expediency and power games for money and status, what can you really trust?

Destiny.

Destiny is a point in time, not space.

The path toward it, then, isn’t a track you can plot ahead of time with any degree of accuracy. Life is too complicated to know how you will get there.

It is more of a compass than it is a map. You can approximate and point yourself in the direction that feels right, but just when you think you see the path, it will curve where you thought it was straight and continue where you thought it was a dead end.

Destiny, then, is the path you cannot see.

Keep the end in mind, but don’t be deterred when you encounter a detour.

Focus on your next few steps and trust that destiny is the better navigator.
