The Importance of a Diversified Identity

Having multiple rooms in our identity is important for cultivating a rugged and flexible sense of self. It's like having a house with different rooms - if one room floods, you can seek refuge in the others. This is crucial because when people go all-in on one thing and that thing shifts, they struggle. Just like diversifying an investing portfolio, diversifying our identities allows us to navigate change more easily. While it's important to go all-in and excel at something, it should never come at the expense of completely shutting the doors to other rooms. Balancing focus and a diversified approach to life is key.
