I recently heard a story about a man who was only 6 months away from becoming a surgeon, when he discovered his true calling, woodworking, and completely abandoned his studies.
I also knew a young woman who had many scholarships to study biochemistry, but gave it all up to pursue dance.
These people are very brave, and very lucky.
And now, very happy.
Once you embark on a career, especially as a professional, you can become locked in it, and escape is virtually impossible.
I envy these people their courage to follow their hearts.
I wish I had of. I could have been creating stuff instead of enduring decades of misery and drudgery.
Money is not what you should chase. It is yourself you should pursue.
Being locked into a life that is less than inspiring is a loss for everyone.
Pursue your dreams. F the money. F the naysayers. F the people who think they know what is best for you. F the people in charge of you. Live your life.
If you are lost, then I hope with all my heart, you find yourself soon.
Try lots of things, you never know what is just around the corner.
