I was just having a conversation with a client of mine talking about where I was in my decision making. He managed to turn my answer of 'nowhere' into a beautiful analogy about the Arc de Triomphe. Apparently there are many roads that lead into the Arc de Triomphe and even more roads that lead out of it. Why that is relevant to me is I am currently pursuing many potential roads, paths if you like, and enjoying the fact that I don't want to commit to any of them. I would love to create a model for my working future that allowed me to explore lots of these roads so that I was a bigger, better, more experienced person by the time I came through the Arc. He also said that there is no rhyme or reason as to how you drive through the Arc de Triomphe - it is simply a matter of bravery and having the fastest car. That's why on every level I love the analogy. I can define my decision to try a few routes as brave and I can gain experience that allows me to be a faster car. Thank you Chris.

Or how about the Eiffel Tower? Reach for the sky, babe, reach for the sky.
Happy to stretch the analogy as far as it will go. As long as my career doesn't resemble the Boston scalextric style road system of chaos.
