@Renee Jeffery I feel that for sure. I knew what I wanted to do wasn’t sure what I was gonna do with it until 20 years ago easily enough and then it’s taken me all this time to really solidify it at 55. I’m starting my second childhood!

@Williams Adriel I didn't know what I was going to do to make a living, only what I wanted to do with my life, which was to "Discover myself". That has taken me all over, and the journey has been exciting and terrifying. I have met many people and made good friends. I've lost people and experienced deep loneliness, filled with wonder, filled with boredom. Lived to the fullest and have been nearly dead 8-9 times. It's been quite a ride. I am at a point where I feel I have found a way to feed myself and contribute as well. “But the beauty is in the walking -- We are betrayed by destinations.”―Gwyn Thomas

I'm an artist- we call it artwork for a reason- but it is serious play. So, even though it is work, it has a certain effortless quality. I think if a person is approaching their business this way, they will thrive- the key, really, is to do work you love. No matter what you do, you'll have challenges, "setbacks", etc. May as well do what burns inside your heart.
