Pirating your life

All we hear about is the economy and how bad things are. Maybe the end of days is coming. More fear. What if we realized that this is just another roadside attraction distracting us from following our dreams?
If I make my decisions based on what people around me fear, I am never following my inner guide, my personal beliefs, or my dreams. I see students who major in business when they love art, or go into nursing when they want to be a medical researcher. They are listening to the people around them who say "do something safe."
We cannot live life fully when we make choices based on the fears that surround us.
We can only be a pirate in our life when we are willing to sail away from the known shore into unknown seas.
