For most of us, our lives are almost pre-defined. Who can relate to the following? Graduate high school; move on to college; find your professional "calling"; graduate college; hit the real world with a job in your chosen field. This is the safe path, tried and true by many who came before us. And, it works—for most. Yet, the rare among us, those like Megan Littel, break the mold. See, Megan followed this journey, step-by-step, right up until that final piece. Instead of finding a job that leveraged her educational credentials—a Master's Degree in Community Mental Health Counseling—she decided to take a leap of faith and do some reflecting instead. She is focusing on living into the how over the what, emphasizing presence over productivity, and consistently evaluating the things she can do that align her strengths with her priorities. Where this may lead is still unknown, but Megan is confident in the direction of her life.
