Pud of f-ckedcompany.com fame:
Hi Pud, I'm a single mom. I've got two kids with another on the way. I need to get back on the right track, but I've got almost no support from my family. I want to go back in school, but I don't even know where to begin. What's your advice? Anne 22 years old California =================== Anne, Anne, AnneĀ You're a mess. But your life doesn't have to be. You just need to find your passion, then you'll have direction. "Going back to school" isn't the answer. Some people know what their passion is. Unfortunately, you do not. But I'm going to help you find it. Here's what you do: Ask yourself, if you could do ANYTHING in the world, what would it be? What's the ultimate fantasy that you'll probably never actually achieve, but would be awesome? Rock star? Movie starlet? Teacher? Birthday party clown? Brad Pitt's wife? That's the "WHAT." Now ask yourself, "WHY?" For example, my "WHAT" was "be a rock star heavy metal drummer!" Upon further analysis, my "WHY" was "I want to do something creative. I want freedom. I want to affect lots of people." As it turns out, there were about a million different more tangible things I could do that would satisfy my "WHY." That's why I became a freelance web programmer: creativity, freedom, and the opportunity to reach the masses. What's your "WHAT?" What's your "WHY?" You'll be surprised how easy it is to satisfy your WHY, once you've figured out what it is.
