No Regrets

One of my favorite lectures as a parent, is trying to teach our son to go after what he wants. I try to convey that opportunities, rarely, if ever, fall into your lap. Hard work is more than an expectation, its a prerequisite. I know all these things very well and yet, I had hoped someone would pay me a million dollars to just keep doing what I was doing. The truth is, I have to decide what I want. The same lesson I press upon my 22 year old son. My priority is to my family first, our business, our commitments and I would like to say I can do it all... my hobby/passion with writing AND run a family business that is growing everyday. The Literary Agent gave me homework and I am going to take his advice; maybe find a way to do more with my writing. I don't know what I am selling exactly, what value there is besides a bit of entertainment. I definitely have some research to do. A little soul searching too.

Whether I move forward, by trying to capitalize on "Thoughts & Actions" or just keep up with this free website where I share my blog posts, it'll be because I enjoy it. Allowing life to happen to you is almost as sad as not showing up to the interview for your dream job. Someone smarter than me once said, 'you fail at everything you don't try'. My plan is simple, take control of my decisions and be accountable. Be honest with myself about what makes me happy and take a few chances. I'm going to bet on myself and see what happens. No regrets.
