If you can’t change your situation…

…change your situation.

Yes, I left my job at the height of what is likely to be absolutely the worst period in our lifetimes to seek employment.

But I didn’t leave a job just to get another one.  I left because I am certain that I can create and provide much more value to the world by exploring other opportunities that more closely parallel my talents, passions and goals.  Like Red said to Andy: “Get busy living, or get busy dying.” I’m choosing to get busy living; living richly with those I love.

Echoing the words of an anonymous Confederate soldier:

I asked God for strength that I might achieve.
I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health that I might do greater things.
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.
I asked for riches that I might be happy.
I was given poverty that I might be wise.
I asked for power that I might have the praise of men.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
I was given life that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am, among all men, most richly blessed.

See ya soon, friends.
