Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they are doing. Do things without always knowing how they'll turn out.

To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go.

A million people can call the mountains a fiction, yet it need not trouble you as you stand atop them.
