The Multi-Path Mindset: My Personal Journey

func CreateSerendipity(paths []string) []string {
    serendipities := []string{}
    for _, a := range paths {
        for _, b := range paths {
            if a != b {
                serendipities = append(serendipities, a+" intersects with "+b)
            }
        }
    }
    return serendipities
}

Serendipity is the art of being open to unexpected discoveries.

Life isn’t linear. At least, not for me. While some people find purpose in mastering one path, I’ve always been drawn to the intersections. Not because I can’t commit, but because those intersections are where the magic happens.

Some call it scattered. I call it serendipity on demand.

Take any two paths, smash them together, and you get something unexpected. Coding meets music? You start seeing algorithms as rhythm. Blockchain meets governance? You realize democracy could be decentralized. It’s not chaos—it’s creativity unleashed.

I don’t chase perfection. I chase progress. Start something, get it “good enough,” then see what intersects with it. It’s not settling; it’s strategy. You’ll never finish everything perfectly, but you can always let one thing inspire the next.

People say you can’t do it all. And sure, maybe that’s true. But you can do more than you think if you stop treating life like a race and start treating it like a puzzle. Every piece you pick up makes the picture clearer.

When I hit a wall in one project, I switch gears. That stuck coding problem? Suddenly obvious after an hour of sketching designs. That music composition I couldn’t finish? Solved while reading about decentralized apps. The trick isn’t to force it. The trick is to walk away—into another path—and let serendipity take over.

This isn’t about being a jack-of-all-trades. It’s about being a master of connections. The world doesn’t need more people who know one thing deeply. It needs people who can see how everything fits together.

You don’t need a roadmap. Just start walking. The paths will intersect, and when they do, you’ll be ready.

Every connection adds depth, every intersection creates serendipity, and every step uncovers something new. This is my multi-path mindset: not chasing perfection, but chasing intersections.
