That in itself fascinates me, for we truly learn more about ourselves that way, despite the high cost of tuition!! Additionally, I can see how people become slaves to themselves in that they just take a job for the sake of taking it, and sometimes stooping low enough as to deprive themselves, and the world, of their true gifts. I mean you'll never know what you like until you try something first, but some things in life are innate, and we just know the areas will likely suit us at some point in life. Lastly, it amazes me how far we have advanced as a collective whole in this world. I mean today in 2009, we can practically come into touch with any person in the world, and find more about ourselves than ever. While it IS shocking, and sometimes hard to digest, I think it is essential to embrace this concept in order to understand the status of our future selves. We no longer must conform to what we always thought, for we have others in the digital world who can help us discern our true calling!! EMBRACE IT the best you can, and learn that nothing is out of limits! Life is short, and we live in a confusing time. We can call the shots and make our lives whole, but we must work on doing it together. So thanks Ruda, you've helped reinforce the true feelings I have felt for years on just doing what just feels passionate...LostinTranslation Ruda…I agree with you on how we sometimes figure what we assume to be a determined path, only to find out the path merges with areas of life we never anticipated….It’s funny how life works sometimes, for we embark on a journey of knowledge, only to find out that, while applicable to everyday life, it may not be essential to what our life purpose is.
