Doing what you really want to do means choosing your path and following it with confidence. It’s a great adventure.
Sailing on a ship on an unknown route there is always the risk of sailing the wrong way. But the most important thing is to decide for yourself that this isn’t the end of the journey. There is always a way out of it. The main point — is what and who you take with you.
It doesn't have to be a sad adventure, because not every tale needs a villain or drama. A good story is one that continues.
