I’ve found that many who take a risk to follow their passion express a deep faith in the tendency for the universe to recognize their intentions, and reward their risk-taking by showing them a way to make it work (financially, socially, etc).
One great expression of this idea is the great American Road trip. From Kerouac to Peter Fonda in Easy Rider, road trips are a form of expressing clear intent (to cross the country) while embracing a faith in the ability of the universe to guide the way (to find food, shelter, and transport).
One current example of this is Chuteless, an experiment in “‘temporarily removing something in life that’s taken for granted and seeing what happens” or, put differently, “The Chuteless equation is: ‘We are going to XXX without XXX in order to XXX’.
