What have you been up to?

Answering this question can be tricky in a world that measures

success by what you own or have done. Our perception of

what we think is important tends to shade how we see the

accomplishments of others. Does it count if you spent hours working on a

side hustle or pursing a hobby that doesn't work out? Does it count

if you chose to follow the non conventional path?

How do you handle when people give their advice on what they

think will make you happy? Sure- maybe it's good advice but if it

doesn't happen does that mean that you failed or didn't try hard

enough?
