You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only
connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that
the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust
in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.
Because believing that the dots will connect down the road
will give you the confidence to follow your passion.
