From the time I was 4 years old I knew what I wanted out of life and did it. I'm working on the last part now actually, which is sort of freaking me out because I'm only 42. I don't know what comes next because I didn't plan anything else.

I've sometimes wondered what heaven would be like--I tend to imagine it as endless possibilities, information, and resources, but few conclusions, constructions, or absolutes.

Sometimes we know but are too scared to act on it, or like you said about your friend, do something because it's expected of us. I've done both of those and finally decided to do what I want. When I moved cross country to attend school here, a few people I know actually told me that they wish they could do something like that.
