“We need people like Watts and others to remind us that we don’t have to settle”
Jordan discovered Alan Watts' transformative question about what truly makes them come alive. This reminder became a catalyst for rejecting others' expectations and embracing an authentic life aligned with their own vision of fulfillment.
I first saw Alan Watts video a long time ago, heard him ask me, “What makes you itch? What sort of a situation would you like?”. I listened to him. He certainly wasn’t the first to tell me to follow my bliss, to pursue my dreams. [...] We need people like Watts and others to remind us that we don’t have to settle. We don’t have to live someone else’s idea of a good life. We can live our own.
