Take it from Dan Harris: Go after what you love
The ABC News correspondent's life has been a rollercoaster.

Harris claims his \"biggest failings\" in life came from being \"too stuck\" on his own personal narrative and not being cognizant of others' thoughts and needs.
He credits his wife, Bianca, with helping open his eyes to other people's experiences and concerns. The pair tied the knot in the Bahamas in 2009.
Speaking of his marriage, he said \"that's the single best decision I’ve ever made.\"
\"My biggest failings throughout life is being too stuck in your own little narrative...without really being sensitive to other people around you.\"
When asked what the biggest lesson he's leaned through through marriage, Harris replied easily, \"The more you open yourself up to other people’s experiences and concerns, the happier you are.\"

Harris says he tries to use his platform as a public figure and a journalist for good.
He is currently reporting on a story about public health in Cambodia. \"There are a lot of kids there who are suffering,\" he said.
He wants to make sure he elevates issues like these in the public eye.
\"You have a position in the culture that I think is really amazing to have...but it also comes with a lot of responsibility. To use the cameras and the megaphone that we have to improve peoples lives, especially the lives of children, that to me gets me really fired up,\" he said. \"That's when I think I do my best work.\"
