I set out in 1966 to become one thing and in 1971, the end of my junior year in college had to change my major because of MH issues. I wandered out in the world with a totally different degree but even the ideas I had about what I would do with it, the reality ended up way different from what I thought. Then, in 2000, when I was 50 and it was the millennium, I was thinking about what it would be like to be old, looking back on my life, would I regret anything? I suddenly thought of the abandoned dream of 1966 and picked it up again, got another degreen in 2007 and am living that dream now.

Pick something you want to do and give it a try. Things won't happen the way you imagine because all the external parts; the jobs, economy, other people aren't things we can control. If you follow your heart, your heart will find a way to keep moving forward, just like a stream figures out how to get to the sea? It might not be like you imagine but it will still be rewarding and "yours".
