I'm 'retired' now and on careers 6 and 7: novel-writing, and beekeeping. I'll call the horse riding a hobby. My wife's the same. Curiosity, challenge, and growth have been our guiding principles through several joint businesses and individual adventures. But it took me a long time to reframe this so that instead of thinking I couldn't stick with anything, I feel satisfied that I'm exploring as many opportunities as I can in my time on earth.
Resonate with everything you wrote here - bad at forecasting, quick to boredom and inherently curious. Currently on my third career and now the only career advice I truly believe is to constantly give yourself permission to change your vision of who you are
This was really interesting so thank you. Something that I’ve been realizing recently is that even if I can’t consciously recall something I’ve learnt it’s still been incorporated into my thinking
This. Is. Me. Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone in feeling like I could never commit my life to one career / thing.
Glad it resonated, definitely on the journey with you. And how boring would one thing be, right?!

This comment brought me so much joy to read. Here's to many more "lives"!

So glad it resonated. "Change your vision of who you are" -> those are words to live by 🔥
As is "bad at forecasting, quick to boredom." You should just tweet your comment!

But how does one achieve success in this model ?
I'll let you know when I crack it. In the meantime, here's some light reading: http://poeticsofaging.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Happenstance-Learning-Theory-200921.pdf
