  1. Impressive. It’s overwhelming and sad to know how many people get caught up in job to job not even stopping to wonder if they are doing what they like. We tend to forget as we become adults that phrase “when I get older I want to be…”. I’m blessed because I learnt from my parents that I could do whatever I wanted as long as I did it with passion and I did find it:
    For me, children represent hope, an extremely powerful emotion, and because of that I decided I would devote my life to work for their health and their development. I became a pediatrician and now I do research to understand why some children get sicker than others when they get respiratory infections.

    So for those people that think they do not deserve to be happy while working, or are afraid: I’d say ” get Adam’s book and John Acuff’s START and get it rolling….” it’s never too late!

    Again Adam, thanks for giving the space to all of us to share our stories.
