How do you stay alive? Follow your Heart Follow your passion

Some people get very bored or overwhelmed with life and they just give up and fairly young ages and sort of become poster children for "Born died 20 buried 60".

Unless you find what you love to do and go do it you likely will become one of these too.

Is this easy to follow your heart, your passion?

No. In some ways it is much harder than dying of boredom.

However, in the end which would you rather do?

Die of boredom living in a job you would rather die than do or attempt to live a life you can actually stand to live?

Unless you try you don't know what you can do.

Many many times in my life I was overwhelmed from the choices I made. But, over time
I saw making the bold choices wound up putting me in lives that I could stand to live.

I watched friends of mine along the way in "born died 20 buried 60 or before" lives and was forever grateful that I took the risks, to get married, to have children, to start businesses, to go out on a limb to save people's lives. To put others needs before my own often. Because doing these things gave me self respect and also gave me the respects of others who often became my friends or even my support group when things got tough.

Unless you have the courage to make the hard choices you will never have a chance of having the life you want and deserve. You have to try even if you get knocked down more than once because we all learn much more from our failures than we ever do our successes.
