I am very lucky to come in contact with a plethora of people through my job. I am currently working on a sailboat and the most exciting thing is that you never know how is going to walk aboard when you pull up to the dock.The person I took out today had a profound impression on me hence why she is being included in my blog. Her name was Jane and she was a travel blogger from New Jersey. She told me about how she used to have a 9-5 job in New York, then she started a blog and it changed her life.

I told her about how I was attempting at putting my thoughts on a page through this blog, and she really bought into what I was telling her. I also was intrigued. She explained to me how she followed her passion of travel and decided to turn it into something that was generating revenue for her. She talked to me about how her passions and her loves, and what she derives happiness from outgrew (whether intentional or not) what her career path was. Which I found admirable. In my last blog post I take about the personal battle that I currently find myself in and this conversation really enlightened me to what endless opportunities life throws at you.

Jane never expected her passion project, and something she did on the side just to take a hold on her life the way it did and send her on a tangent towards something that she never imagined. From this conversation I learned a few things, one is that you never know wha tif going to happen, if yo follow your passions and realize what makes you happy then the opportunities are endless. Two, it made my decision harder come September, follow what I love or do what I think is right because of the pressures I feel. Stay tuned!
