“From the time I was in college, I made a conscious promise to myself that I was not going to spend my life doing things that I didn’t love doing even if I had to be broke.”
—Garrison Keillor, quoted in Worthwhile Magazine
This quote epitomizes how I feel, but have not always done. I do not know what the new career I am going into is going to look like. But, the more I connect with my passion, the more I just deciding to go for it and do it anyway. Maybe I am becoming a “marketing consultant for small businesses”. Maybe I am becoming a “producer”. Maybe it will look like something else, around empowering people to feed their spark and honor their purpose in life.
We often want to hide behind a patina of professionalism. But I realilzed that I am not pretending to anyone that I already know how to do what I am doing; I am just doing it.
I can feel the tremor in my body as I write this—the fear of being really stupid; or really boring; or really selfish. Oh! Those are all the things that have kept me from moving forward into what I loved and really wanted to do all my life. —Interesting!
