I wish I were one of those people with very few interests and knew exactly what they wanted to pursue in life.

I am not one of those people.

It's not like I don't want to do anything with my life.  It's that I want to do TOO MUCH.  I want to help people and make a difference, but I also love to be creative.  Problem is, I also want to be comfortable financially and not worry about how to make ends meet.  So I'm trying to figure out a way to do it all, but it's driving me nuts!

I'm trying to work out a tentative plan, which is very if.... then... Because I have to make something happen, but I have to wait a while to see if it will take effect and allow me to get where I wanna be.

For instance:

-IF I want to get into social work and take on issues such as family violence, THEN I need to get educated
-IF I want to get educated on social work, THEN I need to make sure I want to go back to school
-IF I want to go back to school, THEN I need to make sure I like what I'm going back for, and volunteer somewhere (i.e. SafePlace Austin)

-and-

-IF I want to start a photography portait business, THEN I need some experience and a portfolio
-IF I want more experience in photography, THEN I need a new digital camera THEN I need some education, THEN maybe get a new mentor

See what I mean?

I know it's all a matter of just doing it, but things like time and money get factored in and it really makes things difficult.  I dunno, what do you think?  Should I pursue these all at the same time?  Should I take on one at a time?  Should I abandon it all?  Ugh, I just don't know.
