All My Different Lifetimes

I'm running a little short on time, energy and thoughts for this post so I thought I'd put on record all the things I think I was or will be in all my different lifetimes, just to inspire you to do the same and to get you thinking about all the possibilities and choices that we each have.  So many of us make the mistake of thinking that what we're doing is our assigned fate and that we're limited to what we see and that we don't have the power to change it.  But life is what you make it so I say pick your passion and do it!
  • I think in one of my "past lives" I was probably an obese Italian woman who loved to cook and eat.  I was probably one of those old ladies that just constantly tried to feed people.  I could talk about food for hours without tiring.  How does that translate to this lifetime?  Well, I've thought about starting a separate food blog, or maybe compiling a collection of recipes, maybe writing a food column with reviews and stuff like that, or maybe even creating a YouTube cooking channel.  Of course I'd love to take a culinary class too.
  • Then there's singing, all kinds: I currently sing opera/classical, but I've always wanted to be a back-up singer in a band, or a pop singer - and I really just liked the whole spectrum of dramatic arts (acting included).
  • Writing (see my post on Focus)
  • Translator
  • Life Coach/Motivational Speaker
  • Event Coordinator
  • Communications/Broadcasting/Journalism
  • (Next day edit: I forgot to mention teacher, cartographer, international tour guide, photographer, painter)
This list is just my way of putting some of my options in a visual format.  You don't have to have a degree in something for it to be an option.  It's really true that we can all do anything we set our minds to.  Especially when you think about all the people that start over and change careers in the middle of their lives, or the people who are in a field totally different from what their qualifications are on paper. 

What would you do if you were to make a change?
