What do I want to be when I grow up?

I've always been envious of people who seemed to know from early on what they wanted to do with their lives.  There are the musicians, artists, actors, authors, athletes, etc. that we see in the media, living their passions.  Most people I know do not jump out of bed eager to get to their job!

I joined the military out of high school so that I could get my college paid for and haphazardly chose to get a B.S. in Business Administration, because I thought it would be the most marketable degree.  I went to school at night part time for eight years while working full time as a Legal Secretary to obtain my degree.  My son was born one week before I graduated. 

I continued working in the legal field for a while, followed by a couple of years as a Personnel Manager and most recently as a Catering/Sales Manager helping people plan their corporate and social events.

The last few years I've been thinking about what career I'd like to have that would fill me with joy.   I feel bored and trapped working in an office setting.  I tried making a list of my interests, such as travel, organizing, photography, interior design, real estate agent, and health/wellness, to name a few.  I would then think about the additional schooling that would be required or the risk involved with starting a business and would stay stuck.

My main passion is travel and I've been blessed the last few years to be able to travel extensively.  I realize that travel and adventure is my passion and that is when I feel most alive and joy-filled.  I've been reading about successful people and how they've made their dreams come to fruition. 

They all basically follow the same recipe to success.  They have a burning desire, which they create a definite, detailed plan for carrying out that desire and envision themselves several times a day living that desire. 

There is no better time to start than today!
