Ever had a passion and achieved your goals?

Quite an inspiring story of Bessie Coleman. Can you imagine having that much vision and drive to take those kinds of risks… overcome obstacles to achieve the dreams. Inspiring.

As well it reminds the highest priority … is safety. Be smart, if something is wrong… dont push your fortunes. She died a terrible death falling out of an airplane. ✈️

And how did you go about acgieving your passion?

[ProbablyClueless]

I sure have... several times. Became a financially viable filmmaker, then I became a lawyer. Gone on a soul searching journey. Started a business.

[lightbulb27]

That's awsome to hear... to turn ideas into something. well done! How did you start?

[ProbablyClueless]

I just always had this approach to life where I would start by asking how I could make something happen, rather than ask whether I even could. I always presumed that I could and then I would start my planning process by asking what a guy in my position would have to do to do whatever the goal was.

How does a redneck lawyer like me get into space? How do I become President? How do I build a car?

Stuff like that. And then by framing the question from the perspective of presuming that I'll be able to attain my goal, I'm able to identify opportunities to make it happen easier.

[lightbulb27]

That's great insight, positive thinking. I'll absorb that!

Happy to help! Best of luck =)

I had a passion for a lady friend, always wanting to have sex with her. Then one day as we were kissing goodnight, she put her hand on my hard cock and said “I want that in me”. We then had foreplay and fucked for the next 3 hours. My dreams finally came true.

The dept of labor keeps statistics about people rhat change careers later in life. Only one in ten make it

[lightbulb27]

yes. I switched down not up. Id do another switch but takes so much time... not sure worth it.

I am on my third career right now.

[lightbulb27]

how much cost and time did it take?

[exitseven]

Well, I was able to teach part time while I worked my last job. Then I applied for a full time position and was hired.

[lightbulb27]

So you teach computer science or run the machines in the building? I worked in that field for long time and I wouldn't teach, that's a different level.

I worked as a network administrator/ IT manager. I taught a hardware course at night and I always said if I had to do it all over again I would come back as a college professor. I saw an ad for a Computer acience professor at a local college. i interviewed for the position and had to have an audition. I was hired and then we had civid so I was laid off. I worked as a network administrator for a couple of years and just retired and found a part time teaching job at a different college
