When Julie was a child, she was a very big fan of animals. As a result,
36 she ever heard growing up was “Julie, you should be a vet. You’re going to be a great vet. That’s what you should do.”
37 when she got to the Ohio State University, she started studying to be a vet.
A scholarship allowed her to spend her
38 year studying abroad in Manchester, England. Away from the family
39 back home, she found herself one day sitting at her desk, surrounded by biology books and staring out the window, when it suddenly hit her: “I’m in total
40 . I don’t want to be a vet!”
41 she thought back over all the things she’d done in her life and what had made her happy. And then it hit her—it was all of the youth leadership conferences that she had volunteered
42 , and the communications and leadership courses she had taken as elective courses back at Ohio State. “How could I have been so
43 ? Here I am in my fourth year at school and just finally realizing I’m on the
44 path. I just never took the time to
45 it until now, ” she thought.
Inspired by her new
46 , Julie spent the rest of her year in England taking courses in communications and media studies. When
47 to Ohio State, she was eventually able to
48 the administration to let her create her own program in “leadership studies”,
49 it took her 2 years longer to finally graduate. She
50 to become a senior management consultant in leadership training and development for the Pentagon. She
51 founded a drug-prevention organization that
52 the message “Lead your own life with the skill and the
53 to say no.”
So, never live someone else’s
54 . If you limit your
55 only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want.
