I often get asked "the question" when visiting with my former IDC students and friends, "how did you know when you make the decision to live your life as a dive instructor?"
I answered it the same way as I always had in the last 4 years, it's like when you know you have fallen in love.
There are so much risks involved when you found yourself falling in love. It's that yearning feeling to be with your love one all the time. It maybe taking the risk and tell that someone you love him/her. It's letting all of your emotion, pride, and security hanging out there when you take the chance to go after what you love... Let's say that he/she accepts your love proposal, and off you go toward happily ever after. Please keep in mind that you still have to put your energy, time, effort, patience, and even change the way you look at life to continue this fairy tale.
Now flash to today, change the word "love" to "diving life", then you have it. The risks, feeling of insecurity, uncertain future outlook, and daunting tasks of having to work to keep your fairy tale alive are there awaiting if you choose to go after what you love.
I chose mine as if it was love, and I am still in love today. Are you able to fall in love so deep that you will take the risk?
