Forcing life and other things

After taking a look at the first post I wrote, I noticed that I never stated the question I plan on answering. The question is
Who am I?
This can be best defined as how I identify with my existence. Do I define myself by my profession, my hobbies, or my relationships? What characteristics about myself do I value enough to cultivate and which do I need to change immediately to make my life easier? Are there any ideals I want to add to my current life?

I have always wanted to be someone who lived a healthy existing life with a career that kept me busy.  I was on my way to healthy, still looking for exciting, and finally have a career...but life happens. Bills that we don't expect derail plans. Things that should have been planned for have, were forgotten.

As of today, I am a therapist. I am a wife. I am a friend. In a week I will be a mother. I am a yogini. I am reader. I am an academic. I still hold on to some of my past selves, I was a soldier, a mechanic, a student. I am moving on and attempting to evolve as the world around me changes.

I think of these things as I look at other blogs. The "successful" bloggers (generate an income and or have a large following) state that you must have a niche. I am not one topic. I am an amalgam of so many aspects, so many possibilities. How does one choose one very specific topic to write about?

This blog may very well split into different entities once it progresses, but for now, I think it's best to let it take on a life of its own.
