I read a recent devotional from one of my favorite heroes, Tony Dungy, former coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Super Bowl Championship coach of the Indianapolis Colts, entitled “When Expectations Derail Your Dreams”. I have known more than a few people who grew up to be what their parents or teachers wanted them to be, as opposed to being what they WANTED to be. Being in a career or situation that is not following your dreams is a bad place to be in my opinion. Although I have never learned this lesson personally, I know this from seeing other people that are stuck in the wrong place. I have always been in the job that I am crazy about, getting paid to help people…it can’t get any better!

If you or someone you know is stuck in a rut that you shouldn’t be in, it is never too late! If at all possible, people should follow their passions and pursue their dreams. You owe it to yourself and to God, who gave you your individual talents, to do nothing less.
