So I went to bed last night and decided to completely change my life. This blog is the first step in what I imagine will be an interesting process. Allow me to explain.
Less than a month ago I quit my job, my full-time job, with benefits, where I was making more money than I have ever made before, to start my own company. I know I'm not the first person to walk away from security in pursuit of a dream. However, in the weeks since I quit I’ve found myself distracted, stumbling my way through the necessary steps to achieve that dream.
Too often in my life I have let myself lose focus. Prioritize things incorrectly, let go of going after what I actually wanted in the pursuit of things I really didn’t. And that’s why I’m here today. To get rid of everything I don't want in my life and then follow through with pursuing what I do.
I know I've lied to myself for too long. I always believed I would be successful, but I never actually took the steps to reach that success. It's like the old joke where the blonde wants to win the lottery. Every week she prays to God that she wins, and every week she doesn't. Eventually she grows frustrated with God and demands to know why He won’t help her win? God responds, well you got to buy a ticket.
Well I decided that it's time to buy my ticket. I’m taking back my life from all the unwanted distractions in my world. And I decided to do it publicly because I get the feeling I’m not the only person in this position.
I'm not sure exactly what this blog will end up being. I know at times it will include confessions, goals, successes, struggles, jokes, and most of all: truth. I imagine it will end up being part journal, part platform and part stage. By the end I hope it will be a well rounded record of one of the biggest decisions of my life.
As for anyone that reads it, I hope it can be a source of humor, entertainment, insight and maybe if I'm lucky even inspiration.
