That first cartoon made me LOL really hard!
On the point about following God's plan: I was watching a movie about Jane Goodall yesterday on Netflix, and what really stood out for me was this woman's courage to leave her life in the UK to spend years observing chimpanzees in Tanzania, alone.
I also saw that documentary on Netflix. Yea, I still admire those who simply go all out 100% on what they want to do. I'm still finding or wandering around to discover what it is that I'm suppose to do, or suppose to leave behind. I wrote out this post to get that out of me ... cause lately, been having one of those moments again in my life thinking "what the fuck am I suppose to do" LOL
Maybe start with your interests/passions (as ridiculous as you may think some may be), and go from there.
Haha ... always easier said than done :P
