Follow Curiosity, Open Doors

Goal-oriented individuals driven by abstract purposes risk losing their way and struggle to find meaning once their goals are achieved. In contrast, those who pursue their curiosity and create value for others often find rewarding outcomes and paths back to fulfillment. This dynamic is particularly relevant during midlife transitions. While this insight may not be supported by empirical studies, it aligns with observations of successful and content individuals who navigate life changes by remaining curious and responsive to the needs of the world.
