Thanks for the advice! I really DO appreciate it and have never really thought about how to logistically about moving toward my goal(s). I’ve never really believed I’m capable of doing something other than the 9-5 because I feel that it’s a “safe” way to support myself financially (that and I lack anything that resembles self-confidence, which is a whole different topic). After all, that’s what my parents and their parents have done for years, right? I feel lately that we’re all molded to fit what society has in mind for us. I DO believe some people fit the typical work environment well, and given different circumstances, I (and others) can clock in, do their jobs and clock-out, leaving that world behind them as they move forward day in and day out…becoming more and more consumed in their “safe” lives. I’m sure I’m not making much sense here, and this isn’t meant to sound judgmental at all because I deep down DO truly envy the people that can go to work day in and out and are perfectly content…they’ve found their purpose, or at least are in a position that the reward(s) outweigh the sacrifices. That’s what I’m looking for for myself. I’m afraid I’m never going to have the guts to actually break my current mold to give myself the opportunity to pursue or at least try different, maybe less traditional ways of fulfilling my purpose, while supporting myself financially.

I do consider doing a blog at times, but then I’m worried/afraid I would run out of interesting things to share eventually. My fears are controlling my life as I re-read this post.
