Next Steps

Sometimes taking a new step can be scary.  Eight months ago I left home, left my wife and daughter in order to pursue something that would better all of us.  It’s been difficult. Being away for that long from my family is not the easiest on either me or my family.  But we knew it was what was best.

Both my wife and I believe in going hard after your dreams, going boldly towards things that many just talk about.

While that sounds awesome, the truth is that often when we take steps towards dreams and goals, it’s not a pretty journey.  Sometimes the way is paved with thorns, and mountains that seem to climb without ceasing.

We are nearing the end of our time apart, with just over a week to go.  It’s been a long journey, and a tough one, but looking back, we wouldn’t do it any different. We would still chase our dreams, and strive to go after things that seem bigger than ourselves.  I cannot wait to be reunited with them.

Eight months ago it seemed like this approaching day was out of sight, and now it’s within reach.  It was eight months that were very hard, but at the same time, if we hadn’t chosen this, we would both question forever if I had missed an opportunity.   Neither of us want to live a life of question or doubt.  And so with this chapter done, I head home soon, and begin a brand new one.

Chase your dreams.  Go after them.  The journey can suck sometimes, but it’s worth it in the end.
