For many of us, happiness and contentment are synonymous. We reach a moderate level of success, while secretly wishing we could do (fill-in the blank). Most of the time, that one thing we wish were doing professionally –instead of what we're currently doing– is in a completely unrelated field. It is our fear of switching gears and venturing out into the unknown that keeps us in our safe place –our regular job, regular pay, regular, predictable life. Until one day, someone enters our social circle and is doing exactly the th...

Most of us are too easily conditioned to cut and run when the going gets tough because there's opportunity and alternatives abound.

More importantly, when things derail we jump ship and start...
