When I was growing up and when I was in university and for many years when I was working for a living I spent a huge amount of time wondering and worrying about what I was doing and what I could or should be doing and where I might have made the wrong decision about such things.


Now when I look back over my life I realize that in despite all this fussing most of the turning points in my life have been quite accidental.  A possibility opened up and I accepted it.  


And at times I decided to do something not because it was logical (or even sensible) but because at at that particular moment is was simply what I wanted to do.  


And maybe too often because there was something I wanted to get away from.
