I decided almost 20 years ago to make a major change in my life and switch from working for money to chasing a dream of doing standup comedy.
I was an engineer for about seven years, and but I was making lots of money, there was a pervasive emptiness that ran through my heart and told me there was something more to life than just getting by.
I had to make a lot of sacrifices to do this change however looking back on it now almost 20 years later I can honestly say that I am more satisfied with life. HVAC repairs, namely air conditioner repairs, pays my bills with just 15 hours of work each week, which allows me ample time to work on music in my band after switching from comedy a couple years back. If you have some kind of passion that you are supsubstantial I promise you that it will haunt you later in life if you don’t pursue it somehow. My cooling representative friend is aged now and told me he regrets every day that he didn’t become a musician and just kept working in the HVAC maintenance world for much too long. You don’t have to do something forever just because you have done it forever, and it is fear that usually traps us in a smaller life than my nice friend and I could be living. Go for it so you’re not regretting life like my HVAC worker did when he retired, spending his whole life working on a/cs and furnaces instead of playing music for a bunch of thrilled people.
