When you start to build a business, you might make a mission statement or core values.  We aren't usually taught that in life.  Maybe if we were, we would be more likely to find our god-given purpose faster.  We all have to work through a process to find where we want to be or what we want to do.I don’t believe that there is a wrong answer, the path less traveled might make all the difference as in the Robert Frost Poem.  But, the traveled path might make a big difference too and it may not be a “wrong” answer.  We make decisions every day, some even small ones can change the course of your life.“The pivotal moments in your life are always made up of smaller pieces, things that seemedinsignificant at time, but in fact brought you to where you needed to me” Elizabeth NorrisIf you are a burn survivor who is still struggling, Tony wants you to remember who you were before your injury and then to find your “new normal." “Things will never be exactly like they used to be,” Tony says, “but things can be as good and different.”  https://www.phoenix-society.org/resources/pivotal-moments-recognizing-and-embracing-life-changing-turning-points“You don’t grow up gradually.
