You’ve always known this.

We excel at things we enjoy. You’ve been doing it since you were born — we just un-learn it under pressure from media and convention.

Life is too serious. Celebrate the fun.

A best friend was a successful comedian — lots of money, but unhappy. He changed path and now runs a small café, cooking delicious food in his home town. Success comes in many forms. You never have to stay on the same path.
