I can personally attest to many of the points made in your post, as well as to James’ comments. I have had drastic differences in income throughout my life and made (and continue to make) the difficult decisions between what we have been ingrained with what “work” should be (according to our society or our upbringing) and what we “do with our moments each and every day” according to our hearts. Lemme tell ya that the heart will always win and will always defy the absolute “logic” that we are bombarded with as to why we should do this or that “for money”.

To take it a step further, in my experience on this path and in conjunction with my seemingly never-ending thirst for learning new things/topics, what I have found is that if you let them, (read those last few words again) all of the different things that you are interested in can/should/will dovetail nicely together and build on top of each other.

Even topics/areas that appear completely unrelated could give you the inspiration for the next step. It eventually becomes like a well-oiled machine in your mind, all smoothly rolling over itself and “feeding” different parts (ideas) to get you to the next level. The fun involved in that, then becomes so natural that the word “work” does actually morph into something else altogether.

For me, this is the crescendo of “moving closer” that you speak of… the fine tuning of the instrument or the focusing of the lens. It IS a process and an ongoing, wonderful dance.

As always, keep up the good work! Looking forward to the “re-launch”!
