Very True dogface
Ryan, may I suggest that you make out a very long list of everything you want to do and see. You can always add on or remove. Write down anything that comes to mind that is pleasing to you – no matter how far-fetched it seems.
I think that you will be very good, in time, in counselling others. You seem interested in searching out the truth and in looking beneath the surface of things.
“Follow your bliss.” – Joseph Campbell
I agree that it is better to fail than to do nothing. But what if one fails all the time? One would think doing nothing is better than doing it and proving your a failure. Not many would like this option.
Kalhoun has it riggt on. Things will change as you go along through life. But I would add that it really is a matter of adding roles to your personality, and flexibility to assume different roles depending on your circumstances, and more importantly, those other persons that you are interacting with.
