Follow the white rabbit.
What would you do if you saw a white rabbit on the street, who was wearing a tuxedo and carrying a big watch, muttering “Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!” over and over again?
I know exactly what you would think: “A talking rabbit? That can’t be real. Even if so, what a lunatic!”
You’d shake your head and go about your day.
Now imagine you were 9 years old when you saw that rabbit. What would you do?
Follow it, of course!
You’d be too curious to be skeptic, too hopeful to be disbelieving and too adventurous to be bound by the shackles of routine.
The best you can do to stay open to huge, life-changing events is to never stop following the white rabbit.
Whenever you venture down a new rabbit hole, allow yourself to get sucked in. Deeper, deeper, until you find what you seek or come out the other end.
The people who started a blog in 1998, who bought Apple stock in 2007, who mined Bitcoin in 2010, they all followed the white rabbit.
Their friends told them they were crazy. Their parents hoped they would “do something with their life.” Their bosses thought they were nerds.
But when the Alice’s of the world see something new, something crazy, something they don’t understand, they don’t shake their head.
They get on their knees and crawl into the burrow. As deep as they can. As far as they can go.
That’s why their life keeps changing. Not always for the better and not always in ways we can understand. But they never forget how to change and that’s what gives them an edge.
Change is the only part of life that never changes.
So I implore you: When you see a white rabbit, be like a 9-year old.
