Small moves are where we default when we want something change. If we are unhappy or hitting a plateau we might pick up a new book, test-drive a mid-life crisis Miata, purchase a new watch or take up a new yoga class. Small moves hardly move lives and fall easy prey to markets wanting to convert these moves into easy consumerist profit.
Big moves transform lives and change the world. Pursuing the life of a passionate artist, quitting a job to become a travel writer, opening a bakery, telling the crush of your life that you are into her, hitchhiking across a country, becoming a humanitarian: all of these big moves require us to leave something behind to embrace the possibility of something that is truly different than what we’ve had before. And in most cases, big moves make the world a better place.
The catch? Big moves are scary as hell.
