We need security, and we also need to follow our dreams. If you've found a way to do both, God bless you...that is wonderful!

Instead I follow my dream and cling to security. I work a part-time job with medical insurance and a pension and work at lots of freelance things at the same time. When all is well, I enjoy the best of both worlds, at other times I am ridiculously overloaded and think I am going crazy. But I would still recommend it for many people who cannot cut the ties of financial security.

This is a question I have been asking myself a lot recently and I think it comes down to the feelings that many of us really want to experience in our lives. For me that is Love, laughter, fun and connectedness with the special people that mean most to me in my life. Part of my journey recently has been to come to terms with me and begin to like and accept me- as a human being. In doing that I have been more joyful and have been able to naturally spread more joy to others. I think that there is a deep craving in many of us that "when we grow up" we will be able to offer the LOVE to our fellow human beings, especially our family and close loved ones, that maybe we felt was sadly lacking in our childhood. "When we grow up" we can learn to love and accept "the child within" and then approach life from a place of spontaneous joy, wonder, curiosity, laughter and fun that small children have - so we almost go back round in a full circle.

I think that there is a deep craving in many of us that “when we grow up” we will be able to offer the LOVE to our fellow human beings, especially our family and close loved ones, that maybe we felt was sadly lacking in our childhood.

“When we grow up” we can learn to love and accept “the child within” and then approach life from a place of spontaneous joy, wonder, curiosity, laughter and fun that small children have – so we almost go back round in a full circle.

I resonate well with the concept of a journey. I have ordered The Alchemist from Amazon, so I'll be reading it soon. Thanks for the recommendation. Very synchronistic for me. Pam Hi Buz,

Last night, I was pretty restless in my sleep, pondering these very things you've written about. My life has gone through many phases, and yet I sense the Personal Legend, the call, the nudge, the urge, if you will. Thank you, Buz, for your insight and your wisdom, and for nudging me along! Blessings, Todd Hi Buz,

You will love the Alchemist, because it teaches that you have to live your journey (mom, nurse, massage therapist, etc). Please accept my condolences for the loss of your daughter last year. Also, I have two miniature schnauzers and a loving mutt, so I know the companionship one feels for dogs. You seem to be strong in the face of loss, and tht is a life lesson in itself. Thank you for sharing with me. Buz P.S. Let me know what you think of The Alchemist Pam, your story, written in your blog comment, is full of information and inspiration to help me and others.
