I did stick my neck out on this one! Doing what you love is paramount. Just as important is creating and executing a plan to get to where you want.

Lisa,

Thank you for sharing. As we get older, we get smarter – it is key to do what you love – makes all the difference in the world. Money will follow. cb

Exactly, Blaine! Most days it doesn’t feel like work!

Confucius knew what he was talking about…

“If you enjoy what you do, you’ll never work another day in your life.”

Sometimes it takes a while to discover just what it is you love doing, and being able to make a living at it is an important part of a balanced life, I think.

Patrenia, Your story is just as compelling! It’s all relative. I love how you put it: “preparing for a changing moment.” You’re a perfect example of how midlife is just a mindset. With a plan and execution, you will make your dream a reality! Thanks for sharing your reinvention story.

WOW!! My story is nothing compared to yours, but I’ll share it anyways. With the down turn of the mortgage business over the last several years, I have also been forced to find a new career. Since I was laid off in 2007, I’ve had to work jobs that were not meaningful and were sucking the life out of me daily. I’m in my mid 30′s, but found myself shortly after the layoff preparing for a changing moment. I knew too that there must be a more compelling reason and am slowing making this dream a reality. Hopefully the $$$ will follow.
