What do you want to be when you grow up? I bet you were asked that a lot when you were younger. But at a certain point in your life, people stopped asking. Obviously, you had reached a point at which you were considered to be “grown-up”.

So I propose that you actually start asking yourself the question again. I don’t feel as if I have ever really grown up. I still feel as if I am sort of trying life on for size and maybe at some indeterminate time in the future, I’ll reach a state called “grown-up”. I’m still avoiding getting there as it seems like it might be a sort of boring and staid place to be. Somewhere with not enough room for fun, somewhere where everything is settled and no changes can be made, no room for changing your mind or trying something different. I’m also fearful of the fact that it might be a place with too much responsibility and not enough time to play.

So if, like me, you don’t really want to grow up, then push it back further into the future and ask yourself again what you’ll do when you get there. What do you want to do when you grow up?
