WHAT'S THE "WHY"?

Whether it's the adoption of my daughter as a single woman or wanting to be self-employed, I'm often asked "why"...why can't I just be happy with things the way they are.  After all, I had two master's degrees, traveled the world, had a good job, had good friends.  What more could I possibly want?

That's an easy question to answer.  I want more for my life.  I'm always happy but never content.  I want as much as I give and get from life.  As the saying goes, if you're not growing you're dying and I'm certainly not ready to die.  My bucket list is way too long.  :-)

I haven't always been able to articulate that but it's always been inside of me.  That gnawing feeling inside my gut.  I want more.  The thought of being and staying mediocre depresses me to no end.  I just can't imagine being on my death bed and regretting all the things I could have done but didn't.

The story is true.  You regret more of the things you didn't do than the things you actually do.

I don't know about you but I'm going for it all.  Want to join me?  I may not have ALL the answers but I can certainly help you find your own...and have a blast doing it.
