Have we got life ALL wrong?

This morning I got this little video in my inbox – I have seen it several times before, and I adore it each time, so today I wanted to share it with you.

 

And it inspired me to write a new blogpost

 

This is a sweet and short 2 minutes watch about music and life or shall I say, The Meaning of Life

When I was a child, I was very much into books, art, music and creativity. I loved to read, draw, paint and listen to music.
And I come from a middleclass background where everyone was urged to get an education and find a safe and secure job. I was a good student, but at that time I did not know what I wanted to be/do in my life.

 

Pursuing the more artistic and creative way was quite far out and unimaginable to me. I did not know anyone who did that, so I did what my friends and schoolmates did – I went to nursingschool and after that I worked full time in different hospitals for about 25 years.

Being my own boss is very important to me, so I was very happy to be in the position of deciding my own schedule, but as time went by, I again started to feel that I still was not living my dream and the impatience came back in full flow.

 

I literally woke up one morning and realized that I could not ignore my calling anymore.
