If You Could Do Anything . . .

Many people give up acting on their greatest desires and passions. Instead they stifle these desires, believing that they are practical and replacing them with a career that pays the bills but makes them miserable. If you could do anything, anything, and money/skills/time were no object, what would you like to do?

Wow, if I could do anything.... well, I would be on stage. Probably singing, maybe playing piano, stretching myself artistically and travelling all over the world to share that gift with other people.
The other thing that was always in my head to do when I was younger was to be a missionary in Africa. Probably using nursing or doctor type skills to minister to people there and tell them about Jesus. Sometime in my teen years, that dream left me. I still wonder what my life would have been like had I pursued that.

Love you,
Michele

I would be a test driver for some sort of car magazine and explain how imports just don't stack up to American muscle... just joking! But I would be driving something, probably quite fast.... Unfortunately right now that doesn't pay the bills, instead it just gets me more bills. ( tickets )

Become a Dr. and work as an obstetrician, then, travel, travel, travel.

As a child I was always wrapping blankets or towels around my head (to pretend to have really long hair) and singing into a hairbrush. Since I don't have a super talent for singing and have massive stage fright I think I chose the right career path for me :) However, I often day-dream about winning a huge lottery and all of the people I could help/do things for. But since I don't gamble or even buy lotto tickets, again... I'll just stick to my dayjob. ha. At least I'm passionate about what I do.

Thanks for the trip to dreamsville Mark.

Travel... and then travel... and travel some more. I would love to see as much of this world as possible. With my family of course.

Wow, great thoughts. I think that if I could so anything and money was no object, I would like to take people along into the wilderness and do cool things. Like counseling, teaching, sharing, growing, appreciating, learning, and risking. Anything like that really.

what would i want to do? well everyone who knows me (including you mark) knows what i would love to do for a living. and that would be to compete inside the squared circle (to people who aren't wrestling fans i'm talking about a wrestling ring) against guys like chris jericho, triple h, and the undertaker among others. my dream match would be a hell in a cell/last man standing match for either the wwe championship or the world heavyweight championship against the undertaker if i wrestled in the wwe. but if i was wrestling in tna i would love to wrestle against sting. that's what i would like to do and i'm sticking to it.
