Any of These Strike a Chord?

You’ve spent much of your adulthood putting the needs of others before your own. Although you don't regret those years, you are ready for your own "turn." But time and circumstance have led you to drop (and perhaps even forget) many of the dreams you once had for yourself. So, although it may be your turn, it’s your turn to be what? To do what? To have what? You no longer know and aren’t sure how you’ll find out.

You have a history of taking the shorter, straighter route of expedience. This path has (perhaps repeatedly) bypassed the more-winding route to what you really wanted. It's also led you to a work life that rewards you financially but with very little else. Moreover, it’s not who or where you want to be anymore. You’d love to make a fresh start, but "who" would you like to be? You're not sure, and the clock's ticking...
