Who I dreamt to become when I was a child

Story to share. Food for thought. Cashier at Trader Joe's: -Question of the day: what did you wanna become when you were a child? Me without thinking, responding quickly and confidently: -A dancer. Cashier:

• And now you are..? Me:
• A dancer and dance instructor. Me on my way home: yay…That's crazy how unconsciously confidently I responded. I am often reminiscing over career path. Especially while kids are getting older and will go to school soon. Even with the fact that I was actually a medical doctor, pediatrician in Belarus. I still answered " a dancer". And then my memory went back to a little girl who enjoyed dancing so much and was rehearsing dance shows when nobody was watching to imaginary audience. It was important for me that they will SEE me some day. Our inner artist wanna be seen. It's an art to find your Ikigai that will also sustain you financially especially in dance world it's a challenge. So we will see how life unfolds to me. What would you answer if they woke you up in the middle of the night and asked what you dreamt to become as a child? Is it matched to reality? Are you using your gifts in life?
