Cat Wall Decision Tree CoachingParticipantHi M@ry, you may already have your answer but I wanted to chime in. It’s never too late to find your path and start doing something you love. Yes, your ability to earn a living is important, but so is your happiness and sense of fulfillment – if that is important to you.
It doesn’t hurt to try new things and sometimes we all change our minds, but the key is finding something that you truly enjoy and then figuring out a way to make money doing that. Any education you already have will not be wasted, as you can never unlearn what you have learned and you never know, it may come in handy one day. It’s great to be educated in many different subjects, all of your experiences are shaping you, adding to the person that you are.
May I suggest that you spend some time evaluating your likes and dislikes, your natural talents and skills, and your hopes and dreams. Then listen to your heart and define what you really want out of your life. Then go do that. Even small steps will lead you to where you want to go. And don’t be afraid to course correct as you go. The great thing about decisions is that you can always make another one!
Best of luck to you in finding your path!

Decision Tree CoachingCat Wall Decision Tree CoachingParticipantI think the answer lies in your question. You asked “what would you do?” It doesn’t matter what I would do because I am not you. What does your heart and your gut tell you to do? You only have one life to do the things that are calling to you. Think about each choice you have and what would your day be like tomorrow if you woke up having chosen Option A. How would you feel, what would you do, is there excitement and joy? Then do the same for Option B, C, etc. You already know what you want, it’s just a matter of being able to claim your decision.
You can also think about it as trying something out. Whatever choice you have, you can try it out. If it doesn’t work out you always have the option of changing your mind. It doesn’t mean you failed or made the wrong decision, you were just trying it out. That’s not to say don’t give it all you’ve got, it’s just a way to change your perspective on a possible life altering decision. Nothing is permanent.
I have a no cost ebook on my website the delves into this process a little more. Go ahead and download it if you wish. Sending you courage to make the best choice for you. Cat
