I resigned my position at work today.
This post is not really for you, it's more for me.
There are many things that go though one's head when one is about to end a phase in one's work life and about to pursue another. The consistent paycheck I have received for the past 7 years has been wonderful. I have been amply compensated for my efforts, but the realization that I am in a position that will remain the same position for the next 7 years is frightening to me. The job's stress level, which was manageable during the first few years, has gotten to a point that vacations and time off no longer have the stress relieving effect they should. And I find myself wanting more from my career. I can achieve more.
Not knowing exactly where I will be next is a little unsettling, but the NEED to go somewhere else is overwhelming.
Wish me luck.

One of my heroes was once asked about how he handled the pressures of being a CEO and he said that the worse thing that can really happen is that you lose your job. For a lot of people this can be traumatic, but with so many opportunities out there, it's not worth the stress of sticking with something you hate, for a regular paycheck. More times than not, it ends up opening new doors and opportunities. It can be scary to not have the income, but if it allows you to do something you love, then you absolutely made the right decision. Good luck on the job hunt. Don't be afraid to be picky, even if that means you work temp gigs until you can find something that you know is a great opportunity.
Thank you, Davis.
