I recently finished college, and like all college graduates, was faced with the exhilarating/terrifying possibility of the rest of my life. For me it was a time of introspection, asking myself what I was really up to in the world and what I really cared about. As time went on the question of what I was going to "do" became increasingly urgent, and I put myself under increasing pressure to have a good answer.

Reflecting on the training that I took through Landmark, I eventually had a huge breakthrough that has informed my life ever since: far more important than WHAT I did, was WHY I did it. If you're doing something because it is an expression of who you are and what your commitments are in the world, it will be far more fulfilling - and make a bigger difference in the world - than a prestigious/important job that you took because you were worried about "looking good."
