Question: You have said to “follow what you love” and the rest of your life will take care of itself. I have been pondering whether or not to pursue a hobby as a business. The “still small voice” tells me to just go for it, but another part of me can only think of how to pay bills, feed my family, etc. Any advice?

Answer: If you have responsibilities to a family, especially young children, you must fulfill what you have begun. This doesn’t mean to put your dream down, only to recognize that it may have to germinate in the soil of your situation a bit longer. Regardless of your personal condition, I would tell you to never let go of any longing you have to enlarge your life. Be bold, be wise, and fall forward.
