They takes different forms sometimes, these life changes - I felt the same way when I took the leap to move to Manhattan, and even now that I know I have changed myself forever, I still have to work at a pay-the-bills job in order to keep my dream alive. The "little" step of the move was enough for now, maybe another spark will strike in time and a new life change will take place! :) I'm excited to hear what's in store for you!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00878623023347829487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060939041888666322.post-33929152849788472672011-03-17T05:40:42.718+11:002011-03-17T05:40:42.718+11:00I've been feeling quite the same way lately. ...I've been feeling quite the same way lately. And wondering myself how many of those in Japan were in a happy place in their lives. I'm thinking of a career change/going back to school myself and I'm often scared to do it. But at my age (37ish!) I feel like it's now or never to make a change. I agree that as long as you're on the path to change it's better than nothing.Milhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02647139896187096733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060939041888666322.post-79906650075705685012011-03-16T07:21:42.148+11:002011-03-16T07:21:42.148+11:00I think if you have a way of thinking like THIS th...I think if you have a way of thinking like THIS then you can do anything you want!!

I want to teach so much but I want to be able to do something towards changing the education system (it's so flawed here). But I also want to write. And I also want to travel (and sometimes my fears of doing the latter almost convinces me that it ISN'T something I want to do)...<br /><br />I have great respect for you for posting this and for knowing that at the end of the year, you will be travelling---something which I know will make many of your bigger dreams come true.<br /><br />Thankyou, by the way, for the well-wishes! I think it is just a cold and that I am being a massive baby about it---but thankyou though :) I hope you are well!beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607850411588165692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060939041888666322.post-36082102010669521022011-03-15T20:59:19.840+11:002011-03-15T20:59:19.840+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607850411588165692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060939041888666322.post-23537669752257823562011-03-15T19:11:27.799+11:002011-03-15T19:11:27.799+11:00That's such a thought!

I could do it, yes, but I don't have the passion for it, I want to have. I'm terrified about what I will do, but I'm resourceful and creative and I'm sure I'll figure things out.

If you're traveling on the path to your dreams, you'll enjoy every little step.<br /><br />And you're so right, what is happening in Japan certainly puts things into perspective. <br /><br />I'll look into Save the Children. I'm sure they're amazing! <br />Here in the U.S., I've always admired the work of the Red Cross. <br /><br />Have a great week!

I had to do a lot of exploring before I found the path that was right for me, and now I literally get paid to do what I would do - and have done - for free. Just know what you want out of life and you'll figure out how to get it.

You can follow your dreams and you should. Life is too precious not to try. Doubt can eat dreams up and too many people waste their lives wondering what could have been. I have always thought that was the best thing. Go for it!keishuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15425697524293318047noreply@blogger.com
