I'm probably going to end up being a full time blogger and teach on the side (as opposed to teaching and being a blogger on the side). I think it's worth considering these opportunities, they don't have to define you, in fact often it's possible to use them to further your dreams and your passions. Right now I'm doing my PhD which I love and I'm passionate about but I do consultancies on the side when I can to enrich my academic work and my lifestyle. Maybe it would be possible to teach a semester a year and use the money, the contacts, the new networks to advance your business and passions xoxoxA Life Un-Styledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08558475767119850748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4018970782442013201.post-76579774002871032762012-11-08T19:53:30.351-08:002012-11-08T19:53:30.351-08:00Great advice , Vineeta ...

I have followed your blog for some time and love your work :) it's easy to be the path breaker when you have someone in the same boat cheering you on :) Thanks for stopping by :)Peacocks And Paisleyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014150147650346565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4018970782442013201.post-2351908856987447632012-11-06T23:28:55.644-08:002012-11-06T23:28:55.644-08:00I agree you can't go back :) Why would you wan...I agree you can't go back :) Why would you want to. You would rather work towards making what you left everything for work. And it takes work, it takes diligence, it takes leaving behind all the things that are so intertwined into your definition of yourself that you don't know the new you anymore. That's scary. But that is what is required. I write these words here for me as much as it is for you. <br />If you keep taking 1st steps you are met more than half way. So just keep putting one step in front of the other. I have stopped when I have felt it is too much for me. And that's fine. You can start again. You will see that the world does wait for you and your dreams. Always.

I have learnt (sometimes painfully) that the things you think are safe are not and vice versa.... at times. Following your heart is the true path to happiness and gratitude. I think you need to create a new label for your adventures too - brave. It takes a brave person to follow their dreams... really follow them.
