Adam J. Kurtz

An honest and relatable guide to figuring out where you’re headed—and feeling okay in the meantime. When life feels uncertain, or just plain out of control, making intentional choices can help us move forward and find our way. Sometimes all it takes is a gentle nudge, but for anyone waiting for that big, obvious sign from the universe: This is it! This candid collection of essays and artwork is full of reflections, encouragement, and insights on the theme of personal transformation—realistic perspectives to help you move from “staying alive” to nurturing and celebrating the person you know you really are. From the generous and slightly jaded mind of artist Adam J. Kurtz, these pages explore mental health, identity, handling setbacks, and finding humor in the unknown—and will be a touchstone for seekers, graduates, creatives, and anyone who’s trying to figure out what’s next (and maybe even feel a little hopeful about it).

A Guide to Finding Your Way

You Are Here (For Now)

Have you ever felt ready for the next thing, but not sure what that thing is? 

Compare yourself to your best, and use that to fuel yourself forward. 

This challenge didn't require an "Eye of the Tiger" training montage. Honestly, I didn't change a single thing about myself. 

In fact, most of the time, nobody cares at all because they aren't paying attention. 

There's not a wrong way to be alive. You don't need to have a Purpose to be alive. 

In some ways, self-confidence for someone who lacks it is a magical power. 

The road ahead reveats itself, not entirely, but enough to stay focused. A path exists, but the part you know is mostly what's behind you.

This is the signal to do the things you know you need to do, for yourself.
