As a kid we were encouraged to dream big and allowed to have outlandish desires and ambitions…
What is it that chokes these in most people as we get older?
Is it fear, knowledge, responsibility or society that restrains possibility into fantasy….is it the wise, lucky crazy or strong that are able to push all these aside to achieve what we originally had sketched out in our school books.
There is no age limit to start going down that road, maturity and wisdom can be one of our greatest assets.
I know that when I came to that fork in my road, I had no anchors in my life (meaning financial responsibilities or Dependants) and I was still semi living out of a backpack, so to make the choice to chase being an artist was a lot easier, because when I failed, there wasn't much to loose, and I could easy make another attempt (and again and again). But what would happen if it was now that I had that decision, to leave a job I may not like but a pay check I did, to do a job that I loved and had that inconsistency of the new beginning..........
