A surprising number of travelers ask:
"What kind of person should I become?"
This question cannot be answered.
Fortunately.
A life with only one correct answer would be unbearably dull.
Start With Curiosity
Every memorable traveler begins the same way.
With curiosity.
Questions create journeys.
Journeys create experience.
Experience creates wisdom.
The process is slower than people prefer.
Yet remarkably reliable.
Choose What Matters
Some travelers value knowledge.
Others value courage.
Others loyalty.
Justice.
Exploration.
Creativity.
Service.
There is no perfect choice.
Only meaningful ones.
The road will test whichever values you select.
This is unavoidable.
MAGDA'S NOTE
Good.
Otherwise everybody would claim courage.
Strengths
Your strengths matter.
Use them.
Develop them.
Share them.
But do not become trapped by them.
Many travelers become so proud of their strengths that they neglect everything else.
The road eventually notices.
Weaknesses
Weaknesses are not flaws in the story.
They are opportunities within it.
Every traveler possesses limitations.
Fear.
Pride.
Impatience.
Doubt.
Loneliness.
The road often teaches through these.
Occasionally harshly.
But effectively.
Becoming
The most important thing to understand is this:
Character creation never ends.
You begin the journey as one person.
You end it as another.
The road creates both.
MAGDA'S NOTE
That's why it's called a journey.
If you stayed the same, it would just be exercise.
