Sometimes innocuous comments to random people can change your life

Sometimes things happen unexpectedly. Sometimes things you never really believe in can come together and fall into your lap.

For three years I thought about the possibilities and suddenly I could really do it. I could really have it. I'm scared. I'm excited.

Do I really have it in me to walk away from security again and move on something just because I feel so strongly that it's something I need to do? This time it's not just me. I rarely hesitate to take these kinds of risks when it's just me, but now I have a family to consider. Can I take these risks on their behalf? What are the consequences of failure?

And yet, what are rewards of vision and success?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained is a steaming pile. Go big or go home. Meh. Despair.com got it right. Before you attempt to beat the odds, be sure you could survive the odds beating you.
