Bigger and Better Things

I wouldn't call myself an irrational person. I actually hate irrationality. But I would call myself impulsive. I think that may stem from my ADD. But more than just getting bored of things I think there comes a certain point when you have gotten all you need from something. You've learned what you need to learn and its time to move on. 

This is why I just quit my job.

Now I actually really enjoyed my job. I sold phones at Costco and made a decent living out of it. It wasn't too sales'y.. So people didn't feel a lot of pressure like buying a car...and it was in a reputable place, so it wasn't like the mall full of crazies. But more importantly I enjoyed the people I worked with. I had a good boss who wasn't too strict, and funny coworkers who were fun to work with. 

But things change. Things are never in a perpetual state of good. They may be good for awhile, but they begin to get stale. You get to a certain point where you need to make a choice. Is the staleness of this situation something that I need to endure through for a greater purpose, or is this more like a car stuck in neutral. Neither moving forward or backward. I think my car was put in neutral. 

Now in many instances I wouldn't mind that. In high school I wouldn't have minded just coasting along live, splurging my pay checks and having fun. But I'm not a teenager anymore. As much as I dread the responsibilities and mantle of adulthood, it's inevitable. I find myself making more and more choices that are less like what I would do even just a year ago. 

Now tied in with this mentality comes my tendencies. Because of the way I am, I can procrastinate and put things off to an excessive amount. But I've found a partial solution to that flaw. If I put myself in a situation that I literally MUST make a decision, then I'm extremely motivated. Probably for the same reason that a procrastinator does all of his homework last minute. So realizing I was in the work funk I did the only rational thing I could think of. Quit.

Ok maybe there are more rational things I could do, but I'm optimistic. I'm less afraid and more excited to explore a new opportunity. We all have an outrageous amount of potential, and I relish the idea of finding an exciting job that brings out that potential. Maybe that is starting my own business, maybe it's finding the right start-up, maybe its an internship. What I do know is that I have lots of options, and time to figure out what I want to do.

I'm also moving home for a bit. Just a month or so. I can make a quick dollar back home so that I can be on my feet when I get back to Utah. 

And if everything goes to hell and I end up being a server and barely making ends meat..then so be it. At least I tried. I feel like not everyone has the opportunity to do what I'm doing. They don't have the means, or they have some baggage that does not permit them to be ambitious or drastic. This is the best point in my life to try something bold. 

Maybe I'll sink. 

Maybe I'll be the next accidental millionaire. 

Maybe I'll come out better then I was

Maybe worse.

No matter what happens, I'm glad that I'm doing it .I'm glad that I'm taking the risk. And I hope you all are somehow aware of the journey, or apart of it.

More to come.
