What do I want to be when I grow up?

How many people do you hear saying this?  It is said as a joke but there is a lot of reality to it.  Many people have just not found what their passion is yet.  I have coached people that are in their 40’s that say this.  My daughter found early on that she wanted to work with animals and there are others that never find it.  How sad.  There is an easy way to find it though.  Do you want to know?  Make a list.
