Plunge

It all started from this point. Passion in me of wanting to start my own business got so strong over the years - overflowing of ideas, planning, timing and the sunday night blues. I've decided to take the plunge, quit my job and focus on building the business from ground up.

From very little, I've always known that I'd like to work on new stuff and liked to create things and solving problems. Heck, if a company can earn so much money from using my talents, why don't I do that myself and earn the whole thing. I keep a notebook of all ideas and many of them I didn't excecute on, only till later seeing it being realized in the marketplace. I'd kick myself then and wondering why I never did. Why now? many people seem to be baffled by me leaving my job now - a job that pays well, opportunity to travel around the world, high visibility projects ownership etc. For me, all these things were nice but I saw them as a way to pull me into complacency. Pursuing one's true God given passion and dream is one of the biggest responsibility, if not the biggest. I believe that one should do what they love, and love what they do.

Lately, the Sunday night blues have turned into Saturday night blues. With much prayers and asking advices from trusted friends and mentors - I felt it's time to give this a shot. Worse case scenerio is I run out of money and I have to look for a job again. I am still young and only now can I take this kind of risks. Of course, there are still many things uncertain but I feel God's peace. I know He will provide for me and will guide me. Things will work out just fine.

Constantly reminded by stories like David and Goliath - praying and seeking councill is important, but it doesn't justify the lack of action. Parting the Jordan river - you've got to take the first step into the water, before God parts the river. It's so tempting to say, "God, provide for me, then I will do it" than, "I will take the step, I will do this because I trust you'll take care of me". [You have to step out of the boat, in order to walk on water]

So this is it...the road ahead is uncertain, but I am sure dang excited!
