Good and worthy things take time to bring into reality. It takes commitment and diligent work until our work reaches a point of fruition. In the interim we are forced to make choices and sacrifices all in the hopes that when we reach our goals it will be worth all which we gave up along the way. We believe that what we will gain by the accomplishment will far exceed anything that we might have lost.
It equates to being little more than a game of chance. A highly calculated risk may be a better way to describe it, however the reality is in some cases it is just a matter of chance that everything we are trying to bring to life works out the way we plan. Since math has never really been my strong suit it worries me just a bit that my calculations could be off.
I am investing a huge amount of time, capital not to mention lost opportunity cost. However truth be told, there is a part of me that still hasn't fully decided what I want to be when I grow up. Plus I am pretty darn content with where I am at in life right now. So that struggle to get somewhere else is somewhat lackluster on my part. Never the less, I must also admit I am bored to near death right now. My classes are relatively easy (shhhhh don't tell anyone I said that), my kids are happy and healthy, my husband is my best friend (and not tough to look at either), my friends are the best in the world, and there is money in the bank. Sooo why on earth am I trying to make anything more difficult.
What if my numbers are off. It could mean that I have made this investment to get someplace that I don't really want to be. Is it worth the risk?
