The career path that is truly yours rarely arrives as a neat sequence of steps.

Sometimes there is a proven route. Law, medicine, engineering—clear milestones, predictable outcomes. For a long time, that was enough.

It isn’t anymore.

Most careers now evolve as a series of experiments rather than a linear progression. And even when you make a plan, it often comes without proof.

No one can tell you:
“Do this, then this, then this—and you’ll become the successful version of you.”

Because no one has done your version of it before.

That ambiguity isn’t a flaw.
It is the process.

As Joseph Campbell put it:

“If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it’s not your path.”

So it’s worth asking:  Whose path are you on?
