Crossing through Career Crossroads

Have you hit a glass ceiling in your career? Have you found something missing and realized that your life is off course? Have you considered taking a leap of faith in hopes that you can make your dreams come true so your destiny manifests for you?This short read describes one man's "destiny journey" of twenty years and provides his thoughts and insights which came with making a leap of faith away from a safe and secure corporate engineering career to pursue the bohemian lifestyle of a writer, artist, and musician... only to come back to teach as an engineering professor after he finally achieves what he set out to do so many years ago. It's the knowledge of a job well done that provides the peace of mind for him to transition into each new avenue life presents as his windows of opportunity arrive and beckon him to step on through its threshold and into the unknown. These steps "into the Void" can be scary. They present a wealth of uncertainty and surprises that require one to "make it up as you go" since life doesn't send out a roadmap with directions that spell out which way is right when we reach our respective crossroads and need to know what road to choose. The conclusion he comes to is that "a human doing doesn't necessary make a Human Being unless you love what you do to Be." He realizes that if you couple that quest with a healthy dose of daily creativity, good things will come if you just keep on believing. After all, when you are ready to manifest your destiny, it will come to you.
