   Amen! That’s about all I can say about this.

   Except that I am so tired of hea­ring about “pas­sion” this and “pas­sion” that and just do what you’re pas­sio­nate about and life will become one day of bliss follo­wed by another.

   What a crock! I know you like the Joseph Camp­bell “Follow your bliss” con­cept but what I really want to know is this: how do you find your pas­sion and, assu­ming you can, how can you fund it?

   No. It’s not OK, in mid-life, to pack up your bags and say bye-bye to wife and/or kids and/or job and/or finan­cial res­pon­si­bi­li­ties to run off like an 18 year old out of high school to “find your­self” or “follow your passion”.

   Can you tell you struck a chord?

     Thanks, Ken,

     Dude, I feel your pain…

     I see the mid-life cri­sis of peo­ple all around me, EVERY DAY day.

     The result of worship­ping other people’s gods, if you ask me…

     The way to follow your pas­sion is TO FOLLOW IT, not telling other peo­ple to follow it, not to talk about how you one day ASPIRE to follow it.

       Now all I have to do is figure out what it is.
