Chris Guillebeau lists fifty people and their quests: Name, Description, Category, Status.

I find myself imagining what mine my read like.

As I did I realised I have more than one.  There’s at least an everyday quest supporting a lifetime one (which is unfolding).

It feels like the first is more internal, an “elegant and simple interface” as Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler might describe it,^ helping me connect with the external one in which I want to serve others, not as an expert or professional, but recognising that every encounter with someone changes both of us in some small way, so we need to be processors, enabling need and help to flow back and forth.^^

Many want to begin a quest but don’t know how

Quests beget quests.

What are yours?

Name
Description
Category
Status.

Of such things legends are born.
