His emphasis on pluralities, collectives and broadening our understanding of terms that often become almost meaningless through narrower and narrower restriction (i.e. love, work, sex, religion, pleasure) helps us to uncover our daimonic drives.

Love that! @Victoria ~ Geez, it is such a hard balance, because thinking you have to find the one thing and can't is sooo painful. But we also kind of just want a simple answer. Our beloved/despised paradox :) @Eileen ~ “It’s just inside already… scary and empowering” totally sums it all up. Love that!

Looking for that one thing I was "destined" to do kept me stuck for years. It was when I could finally let go of the One Thing and just start picking up the threads of my daimon (such a perfect way to describe it) that I started to get unstuck. Yes, there were (many) times it was scary that there wasn't one thing, but it was so freeing to know that I hadn't missed any proverbial boat. That I could just start from where ever I was.

Like, it may be one thing but not one label. You can't train for it or pick it out of a course catalog, it's just inside already...scary and empowering. Oh man, I love this!
