Loved the interview and the responses to some of the questions! I wanted to ask; starting out as a polymath, should you be rigid or determined in the things you want to learn per time?- Particularly when you have so many interests at once- or is it better to let external factors push or give you a nudge towards the interests that survive the daily routines we end up in? I've heard a lot of talk of following your passion but what if you have multiple passions that you cannot distinguish with so little time or resources?

Thanks for your kind words and for this question Joshua.

This is an area I'm passionate about and I've been opportune to coach young adults on this, talking about one's lifework and career development. Concerning being multi-passionate, you're right, all passions may not be unveiled at a time, one could lead to another. However, the principal anchor in this regard is to discover an overriding purpose that all passions hinge on.  For example, I am passionate about human development, youth development and life skills. All of these passions and expressions are contained within my purpose of raising young people and moulding minds. Imagine not been clear on what to use the passions for or even my gifts and abilities, it would be like disarray, doing many things without focus and direction and eventually a case of abuse and misuse.

Starting out, don't be rigid. We evolve in seasons. However, know the connection of each season/passion/expression within the grand scheme of your lifework and purpose. I would rather suggest that one owns his/her life outcomes as against external circusmstances/'fate'
