"You go the way your heart tells you. If you don’t you will forever wonder what if. Try to live without regrets..." Headt isn't always the best option though, you have to be guided by your head when there are so many other people and factors involved. I can't be selfish. | |||

"You go the way your heart tells you. If you don’t you will forever wonder what if. Try to live without regrets..." Not necessarily. Sometimes it is better to follow your head than your heart. Let's say that your heart tells you to go into John's car to buy some french letters because you are partial to have some safe sex with Peter but you know that John didn't fix his breaks so your head tells you not go. 15 mins John died in an accident. | |||

True, but you have to be careful not to put people first so much you end up resenting the way things are. Finding a happy medium is the key. | |||
"So, I would say don't choose a path yet, the right one will show itself." How long does one wait? | |||

"I used to always think that... I think if the feeling is strong, it’s probably a sign that your subconscious mind is telling you that it’s a good time to make some changes... 8 years ago, I had been working in Marketing and Advertising for years, and generally felt like I’d been working hard for years just to make other people rich... I’ve always been into personal development books, and had used Creative Visualising to get to where I was in my career... But I had realised that it wasn’t really what I wanted to do with my life... Luckily, after feeling similar feeling to you for about 12 months, I got made redundant... and that was the kick up the arse I needed From that day forward, I refused to get another job, and took some time out... I was on the dole for 12 months (I was simply claiming back some of the money I had put into the system over the years) And I used that time to re-think, re-train, and create a different life for myself All my friends and family hated it... no one supported me... but it worked I learned to sing and play the guitar in those 12 months... I got a few gigs, and got a job hosting open mic nights, a karaoke night, and was actually employed as a ‘Singer’. I’m now a Professional DJ, and that’s pretty much all I do... and that all came about because I took a chance and didn’t give up If anyone is looking to make a leap of faith in their life, and make a few changes, the book I always recommend is ‘Change Your Life In Seven Days’ by Paul McKenna " Fair play to you mate. I'd like to be a screenwriter, but I find it really hard to motivate myself into writing anything. The key is dedication. If you write or play an instrument for three hours a day, every day then you fall into a rhythm and you start to improve. Keeping that rhythm is easy, it's just hard to get into. | |||

Totally agree with you... That rhythm only happens when you push past the procrastination... I wasn’t massively dedicated, and honestly believe that I could’ve done it all in 3 months, if I’d practiced for 3 hours a day I did it with the gym last year too I decided that I would force myself to go to the gym, 3-4 times a week for 6 weeks After 6 weeks, I’d hit that rhythm... Now it’s very normal for me, and I’m so glad I forced myself to go Challenge yourself to write something each day for 6 weeks... Set aside some time Don’t think about it (Definitely don’t overthink it) Don’t put it off Just do it... you’ll be surprised at how good it makes you feel  | |||
"So, I would say don't choose a path yet, the right one will show itself. How long does one wait?" There's the problem, you just have no idea. You do need to be looking though.  | |||

"I've just been driving home and thoughts came into my mind about how different life could be, depending on who you meet and where you live. Do you ever feel like saying to hell with it, and changing your life and starting again elsewhere? Obviously I have children so it wouldn't be easy but I just keep thinking its such a big wide world out there with millions of people. Hmmmm.....now I've put myself at crossroads in life, which way do I go?" Been here so many times once thought about an opportunity in USA Once considered moving to Spain and France But now I’m just another dreamer who’s fantasy didn’t come true | |||
