“To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for.”
How many of us drag ourselves from one day to the next, not really knowing what we are doing to ourselves - being stuck in dead end jobs that we despise and hate? Not only do we not know what we are doing, we have no idea of who we are and what it is that we stand for!

I recently chatted to a lady (who will remain nameless at this point), who is in her 50's and who has still not found her passion, what it is that she wants to do and has no idea even of how to find it or look for it. To make matters worse in my own mind, at this point in life she is quite content to just cruise along, looking after her children and her husband. I was struct at the sadness that I saw inside of her, as she said these words - it was her choice, but one can argue as to whether it was a good choice or not.
Be aware of who you are. Make sure you know what it is that you want to do and make sure that you have a plan on how you are going to achieve what it is that you want to do. Make sure you check your plan from time to time to see that you are going in the right direction. Above all, make sure that you don't end up in someone else's shadow.
