Taking risks in life.
I'm at a crossroads in my life, am about to make a huge change. It's difficult, yet I'm so anxious for it I can barely contain myself. It's emotional, even the fact that I'm contemplating this is almost unfathomable, or at least it was several months ago. I think I'm going to go through with it, though.
I've always found in my life that when you make a big change, one that was hindered by fears, that I always ended up better off. I can't remember when I've made a life-altering change that this wasn't soon obvious. I remember one time I quit a pretty high paying secure job thinking I'd never find a better one, then drifted into something much better. I remember also throwing one life aside and letting my fate flow away in the wind. After some shaky times that turned out surprisingly well too. I know people who are in ruts they could never climb out of. I'm thankful I got enough guts to do this. Dylan said when you ain't got nothin', you got nothin' to lose. I got a few things to lose but not this thing I'm ditching, I didn't have that, that had me.
So I prepare for another transformation. I know I've evolved from the last time I did this. The ground is moving under my feet and I await, in anticipation, the change.

In an other topic of yours about selflessness, I wrote
"use both prudence AND confidence..."
similarly, what I would like to say here is "advance bravely, but mindfully"
all the best to you
