Starting a new Journey

Well, today I officially quit my job. A good job that most people would love to have. Not only was it a good job, but it was the family business. So my whole family is involved in this decision.

As I look at this and reflect, this decision wasn't difficult. Don't get me wrong, I am worried about how I am going to pay rent but the actual choice to leave came easy. I guess it was because I knew the whole time I was there that this isn't where I wanted to be for the rest of my life. Like I was hanging out in holding pattern. I wasn't doing things that I enjoy or were passionate about. I mean I know it would be fun to launch this new CherryBomb muffler line and watch it grow, but something just hit home when they asked me to sign a $500,000 print advertising contract. I know it is the right thing to do for the business but still I just kept thinking, "man that could be a lot of rice."

I WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD.

I want to make a global impact. Is that too much to dream of? I know, the best way to do that is to make that impact in your own neighborhood today and let that go global. I truly believe that. I can't tell you how many times I have run Gandhi's quote "be the change in the world that you want to see" through my head in the last two weeks.

I have to say thank you to my wife most of all. A man can only dream of a woman that will truly support him in everything that he does. I know that by me giving up what I did, she gave it up as well.

Where does this leave me? Well tomorrow I will wake up and start looking for a job. Not my dream job, but just a job, and I will wait for that dream job to present itself. I know it is there, I just don't see it yet. I must begin to follow my dreams at some point so I guess today it is.
