It's an opportunity we all have, sort of. "Do what you want. You spend more time working than sleeping, so make it something you love."
But things get in the way. The need to pay for tuition, rent or a mortgage; compromises and negotiations with those you love; a sense of practicality and a fear of risk. And you migrate toward a safe route where you learn a lot and pay that mortgage. Meanwhile you know deep down that you're passionate, but not about this; that you're energetic and smart, and you want to harness those qualities for your own passions rather than others'.
What if you had a fresh start at age 36? What if you quit your job and moved to a new city, and you and your loved one agreed that you often have good ideas, and you should do "what you want." Easy words to say, and now I need to figure out what they mean.
