Let go of the life we planned

“ We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us. ” ― Joseph Campbell We like to plan what we want to be, but many of us also don ’ t know what we want to be. It is probably a common question in life, “ What do I want to be? ” If you asked me many years ago, the answers could be wide from being a dancer, a choreographer or a psychologist, but never   wanted to be a teacher. Most of the journey of my life I just followed half of the world population do, to find someone they love then to get married and to have children.   I had to leave the life that I planned before; I planned to create the Broadway show, I had my own studio and I could dance all the time.

O …   I don ’ t think you can, because you are not like the one who can cook and bake “   Or one of my elementary school was shocked when she knew I became a teacher, “ How come you become a teacher … you were the rebellion student in our catholic school “ I think people build their description about me without understands clearly about m
