Despite (or maybe because of) my upbringing, I’ve had the fortune of mostly doing things I wanted to do. Not exactly as I wanted, but more or less in the general direction.

Which is why I’m now in the position to choose whether to study to be a CPA or go back to work.[0]

It can take a long time to get in position like that, a lot of focus or both.

Maybe not focus first on the goal(s) but the improved ability to keep options open.

I think I've always been comfortable having more viable options than I would ever be able to act on in one lifetime.

Always needed something to fall back on anyway.

It would be self-defeating to think that not doing all these things is failing to live up to your potential though, when just having more diverse options open when you need or want them is a feeling not everybody has.

Maybe a good way to bring the option of a sabbatical onto the table, is to have it on the menu to begin with.

Very inspiring :)
