We don\u2019t always plan on being pushed in the right direction and more often than not it takes us by surprise, especially when we are in our 40\u2019s. It usually happens when we take a deep breath and decide to martyr our lives for those we care about. In Ellen\u2019s case, her push came right after she bought her coveted little red corvette. She suddenly found herself needing a new way to support her family. And, instead of wallowing in anxiety she channeled her father\u2019s wisdom and chose to do something that would make her happy for the rest of her life.
