Go for it!
Whatever you dream about doing, make a plan, and do everything you can to make it happen. When I was young(er), I didn’t really think about what I would be doing the rest of my life. Now that’s all I think about. I love my wife and child more than I could ever love a career, but just think how much of a better husband and dad I would be if I loved what I did. Some people just stumble into a career, work hard at it, do fine in life, and then retire. Other people, (me for example), just stumble around looking for something that fits, something that feels right. I don’t think that right job ever just ‘comes along’. I think that all these jobs along the way, that don’t work out, are part stepping stones/part signs, pointing us in the right direction. I have learned a lot at every job I’ve had; sometimes it’s what to do, sometimes, (most times), it’s what not to do. The point is, it was all part of the process of making me…And I’m still not complete, but I’m getting there.
I think all of the jobs I’ve had were signs pointing me towards what I have to do to be happy in life…Happy, we’ll talk about that word some other time.
Moral of the story…Just go for it! And do it while you’re young, while you have nothing to lose. Then again, maybe when you’re young, you don’t have the wisdom and experience you need to know what it is you are actually going for. And maybe you need to have something to lose, like a family. Maybe that gives you no option but succeeding. You know, maybe 36 is just the right age to go for it. Happy birthday Monkey, wish me luck!
