beautiful! thank you for sharing this. i too am changing gears…just quit a restaurant job that left me feeling abused and undervalued, and now I’m following my dream, whatever that might be! every day, i tell myself i can do anything, and i’m proud of myself for not doing what’s safe. i know we can all thrive doing what we really love. <3

Inspirational to say the least. This gives me strength and direction when I’m facing the crossroads in my life now. Thank you, must have been a god-sent for me to read this. I’m very happy for you, and how you live life is something I want to be able to mimic in the future.

I started today feeling down… the pressures of the day and the non-stop activites to come were heavy on my mind and heart… but after reading this post I know I can make it through the day– You are SUCH a strong woman– I hope to meet you one day perhaps at a blog summit event or something! You INSPIRE me- constantly! You have the true heart of God– a servants heart!

**May God Bless you through and through!!**

Hi Jenna,

Thank you so much for such an inspiring post, which comes at a perfect time for me.
My job is ok, but I didn’t really choose it, and I don’t LOVE it. I have the feeling that there is something else for me somewhere, I just have to figure out what it is and work to reach my goals!

Thanks for this post. I have recently graduated and didn’t get that job that I always thought was there. I also haven’t given myself permission to be happy anyway. It’s important to try to do what you love- and be happy- even if other things in life don’t work out, and you’ve reminded me of that fact.

Very inspirational. I have recently taken a very hard emotional blow and have been dealing with some intense personal problems. I was having a hard time getting up and going to work every day so I made the decision to sell my house and cut down to part time, so I, too. could pursue writing and go back to school to pursue a career in bariatrics and sports medicine (yes, I am going to attempt to go to medical school). Thank you for writing this It just reaffirmed my choice!

Jenna, this post brought me to tears.

I’m at a real juncture in my life and just recently decided to make a huge life change to follow my dream and go against what was expected for most people of 21 years old. That is so hard, but I feel it in my bones that I must do it or give up a chance for something wonderful and completely fulfilling – choosing life. The message of following your heart is an everlastingly valuable one. Your affirmation in this post was so great to read, thank you thank you.
