What do YOU want to be when you grow up?
How many times did we hear that question. And what's the point?
Here's what I think;
10% of us have parents who tell us what we're going to be. No choice involved there.
50% of of don't figure out 'what we want to be when we grow up' until our 30's or 40's.
20% of us never figure it out.
20% actually know what we want, what we love more than anything... since childhood... predestined. Like my brother, who as a 4 year old, would point to airplanes flying overhead & say "that's gonna be me someday!". (Yes, he pilots commercial planes now.)
Me? I'm 41 and I'm still figuring it out. I always said "I can do a little bit of everything" But I was never an expert at anything. More recently I've accepted the fact that I get bored easily. And because I'm a little good at a lot of things, I'm really not so worried anymore about what I'm gonna be when I grow up. I know that, for me, there may not be just one right thing. If I live long enough, I may have the opportunity to be many things. It's like having many lives within one. And it's a good thing.
