Have you ever felt like standing up in the middle of a meeting at work just scream at the top of your lungs “ENOUGH”?  Do you sit there in your cubicle and feel like one of those little lab rats where your reward is that little piece of cheese (salary) you get twice a month.  You know your valuable to your organization, your not a underachiever in the workplace yet in the back of your mind you know your company can easily shift your job overseas and they wouldn’t even think twice.  That brings me to this junction point in my life, it hasn’t been boring since the path did lead down a very rewarding yet stressful career working for a company that is listed #15 on the Fortune 500 list.

However as I sit here writing this post I can’t put out the fire I have this burning feeling inside me,  I find myself having difficulty concentrating anymore.  It’s like I am so impatient right now, dying to kick off this expirement in creating a life you swear could only be shown in the movies or in your dreams.  Why do I feel this way ?  Well I realized that life is too short, maybe I’m having a mid life crisis or just realize that you only get one chance at this game called life.  I know I have the same responsibilities as everyone else, I have a mortgage, family responsibilities and need a steady income to get by from month to month.  But this journey I am about to take is one that I will face fear, my own personal comfort zone and mediocrity to take another fork in the road.  My time will be worth something, not just trading it for what someone else thinks it is worth or says it worth based on national averages.  I will be making more money in a day then I make all week or month and I will be doing something that is in align with my true passions.

How will I accomplish this lofty goal of changing my life, well sort of like how Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, I will probably blow up a few things but I will persevere and not give up.  Remember genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.  Your going to see me perspire, tear down the walls around me and reinvent my life, my body and my soal from the ground up.  I hope you stick around or drop back in from time to time.  I would like to share with you my journey and also to hear your own stories, dreams and struggles.
