Be not afraid of greatness

I had no idea when I started this blog, what challenges I would encounter this year. I only knew that I would indeed encounter them.
This prediction has proven all too accurate.

I now face a huge decision.
Do I accept more of the same OR do I venture out into the unknown, in the hopes of recapturing some of the life I've given away in the last few years?

The earth-shattering disappointment I've faced this week has left me bruised and bitter. It has opened my eyes to the truth.
I've been a martyr to my job...sacrificing myself on the altar of "whatever it takes"...and it has taken whatever I had...plus some.

I'm in the red.

The next few weeks promise to be some of the most challenging of my life. It feels like childbirth. I'm giving birth to greatness.
I just don't know if I'm ready.
