Changing my perspective

Cris told me the other day that he noticed a kind of “Intellectual Explosion” in me over the last few weeks. I’ve begun to read some interesting books, and I’ve begun to get a few different ideas of what I’d like to do with my life in the next couple years.

I’ve had thoughts of starting my own small business, being in a “high-touch” customer service kind of position, and even thoughts of how I might be able to make changes at the current company where I work.

I don’t know if any of these would succeed, but that matters less than the road they can lead me down. I’m less afraid of not succeeding than of not making the trip to potential success.

You’ll be seeing the fruits of my labors soon on this blog. I’m going to be posting some interesting views over the next week. Keep an eye out!
