And we have no way of knowing
For all we know, they could well be right. There’s no way of knowing for certain. Well, besides that final step, I guess, but then we won’t have anything to do with that knowledge.
In the meantime, just keep doing what you’re doing, but make an effort to enjoy it. Make an effort to discover as much as you can. And how do you do that? By doing things. If a chance arises, if an idea arises and you have to make the chance arise, do it. Make an effort to enjoy it, make an effort to be in the moment, and let the moment carry you. For all we know, they could well be right, but they could well be wrong too, it makes no difference for us in the now.
