Here's the thing. I had a great week at work last week. This week is filled with meetings, etc... the kind of week I really enjoy. So why rock the boat? Well, there is this great idea my friend and I came up with - a tour operator business. We both love to travel, we love wine, we love to eat and so do many of our friends. If our friends do, then probably a lot of other people do to0. It is hard to know where to go to experience the best when you go on vacation. So, if we could put it all together for others it could be great. When I think about it and talk about it I get really excited. BUT... I have a great gig right now. I make a good living.
I remember feeling exactly this way when I was about to graduate from college. What I really wanted to do was to stay at college and get my PhD. OK many of us wanted to stay in college, but for me I felt like I knew I could be successful at getting a PhD. The idea of going out and trying to find a career was scary. Well, how do you overcome that fear? My dad isn't telling me that I need to get my ass out of college like he did back then. Maybe the right thing for my family is for me to just sit tight. Keep doing a great job at what I do now. Keep bringing in a consistent income. I mean we get to take awesome vacations, we have a nice house, cars and the girls can go to college wherever they want. And what about Ralph? Doesn't he deserve a chance to go do whatever makes him happy? He is older then me and he too has worked hard. It makes more sense for me to stay where I am and let him pursue his interests. He can do that without any concerns if I keep working and have a stable income and health insurance, etc... Perhaps, I am being selfish. I wish I knew what to do.
As, I glance back at what I have written, I can't help but think I have too many thoughts in my head and they all seem to be in competition. I need to do a little housecleaning in there.
