Free Your Mind Friday

I came across an article with a list of questions that is meant to "Free Your Mind". And since I'm a sucker for questionnaires I decided to answer all 50 broken up into a few posts. Hence, Free Your Mind Friday. Feel free to comment with your own answers. Here goes!

1. How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?
Probably 19. I used to feel 16 inside, but this past year has aged me a bit!

2. Which is worse, failing or never trying?
I think it's pretty obvious that I'm a try-it-at-least-once kind of girl. So never trying is worse to me.

3. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don't like, and like so many things we don't do?
Well I don't do that many things that I don't like. But I guess you need balance. Happy doesn't feel happy unless you have sad to compare it with, right?

4. When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you've done?
I'm sure there are some things I will leave this world without experiencing, but I'm certainly doing everything I can in this lifetime to make sure it's a full and adventurous one!!

5. What is the one thing you'd like to change most about the world?
The amount of violence that occurs in it.

6. If happiness were the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?
Being a party and wedding planner. I love planning and I love working with and around people!!

7. Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you're doing?
Right now I'm settling for what I'm doing. Sadly, I don't find the same level of joy I used to in my work, although I am still committed to it, if that makes any sense!

8. If the average human lifespan were 40 years, how would you live your life differently?
Well I imagine I would have started dating at 9 instead of 18 to find my soul mate.

9. To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken?
I think I am to blame and to congratulate for a large majority of the going-ons and happenings in my life. I'm a total believer in Fate and Destiny but also a huge believer in Free Will. I am where I am in life because I am meant to be here, but I also help get myself here.

10. Are you more worried about doing things right or doing the right things?
That's a weird question. I don't really think there is a "right" or "wrong" way to do things except how you perceive them. Something right for me may be something completely wrong for someone else. I usually just do what I want, when I want, and how I want without really worrying about too much else, unless of course it affects someone else's life.
