What you learned speaks to your commitment to the process. I wonder if it's even possible not to learn a ton from going 100% in with whatever you're doing. If there's anything I've learned from looking for a path with purpose, it's going to be unique. I think it was Joseph Campbell who said, "If the path ahead is clear to you, it's probably somebody else's."

That's an instant classic my friend! I love that Campbell quote as well.
You're also spot on about the higher the stakes, the greater the learning.
Lastly, your mention of "commitment to the process" strikes me as synchronistic because I've just resumed reading a George Harrison bio I started a few months back and it's fascinating to read about how many setbacks the Beatles had on their journey to unthinkable success. At times, things were so bleak they thought they were done but as you've said, it all played into the process.
I love those backstories about the perseverance of legends that look like they just naturally and effortlessly slid into their success. What's the bio called?

Same! Makes the ending so much more magical. It’s called George Harrison, The Reluctant Beatle by Philip Norman. It’s a new one.
Thanks!
Love that you choose to see the positives of your ‘journey’. So important in quest for happiness, success and gratification
