It’s amazing when I look back before I knew the answers to these questions, and notice how lost I was. Well, of course your aim is to get a good enough job so you can get a good enough house and marry and a good enough handsome man.

Well, that sounds good enough, right?

But, what if you believe that you were meant for more? What if  a couple years from now you realize that this isn’t going to fulfill my passion or purpose. What if you want an above average life; loving every moment of the day, doing what you can’t live without doing and receiving a great income from it?

Normal isn’t good enough
