Question: All of my creative, positive passions seem to be located in another out-of-state environment. These things I have an honest interest and aptitude for, yet all opportunities around me are simply not in line with them. Should I accept this situation and look towards something else now to fulfill me?

Answer: We must do what is in our power and refuse to do what is not. If it’s not in your power because of family or other financial responsibilities to move to a more promising place, then do what you must to accomplish what is required of you. If this isn’t the case, walk through the fear. Go for what your heart longs. Either way, refuse to feel sorry for yourself.
