Stop for a moment and imagine a world where you could be absolutely anything. Pretend that money isn’t an issue. Every job in this world pays the same. Pretend that status is non-existant. Others will not pass judgement on your career choice. No job is considered better or worse, impressive or unimpressive. It doesn’t matter how smart you are, what school you get into, or who you know. Any occupation is completely within your reach. 

If we actually lived in a world like this, would you be pursuing the same things you are pursuing right now? 

Think deep down inside yourself and come up with the one thing you would do with your life if nothing could hold you back. Now go after it, because you will never be truly happy unless you do. 

If you spend you life in pursuit of your passion, all other hardships and challenges will be worth it. Find that thing inside you, and never let it go.
