There will be times when you’re pushed to go in a certain direction. “This is what everyone does”. “This is what you’re supposed to do”. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do.

You have to live your own life. You will never be happy if you live someone else’s life. You may be okay with it for years but once you get older and older you’ll begin having regret. 

Don’t regret anything you do in life. Do whatever you want no matter what is normal. No matter who tells you what they want you to do. Do what makes you happy. 

You don’t have to quit your job. Do something you love on the side until you can quit your job. 

It will take time. Be patient. Do the little things day by day. Small calculated steps will get you to your goals.
