Just do things. Follow your bliss.

This is something you should hear when you’re 5 years old, but instead all you hear is “in order to do/be/have x you must follow this procedure…”

Excellent post Charlie. There are several nuggets of seemingly unrelated concepts that you have sewn together very well. Great stories and examples. It’s easy to see why this post has done so well. Keep up the great work.

[...] Career advice from Charlie Hoehn: Therein lies the best career advice I could possibly dispense: just DO things. Chase after the things that interest you and make you happy. Stop acting like you have a set path, because you don’t. No one does. You shouldn’t be trying to check off the boxes of life; they aren’t real and they were created by other people, not you. There is no explicit path I’m following, and I’m not walking in anyone else’s footsteps. I’m making it up as I go. [...]

Charlie, this post is iconoclastic and inspirational.

Your comments remind me of Ibarra’s “Working Identity,” which shows that we discover who we are — and what we like to do — not by introspection, but by trying out new things. By engaging in new experiences and starting new relationships.

From these experiments we learn about our skills and preferences. Volunteering is a great way to try out things you might like to do: it’s easy to start volunteering, but it’s also easy to move on if what you picked is not the right fit for you.

Great article, and I love the source of the conclusion! I very much ‘just do it’ in my life; and my “attempts” have taught me so very much as well.
