The End of the Beginning

Usually in a stating point there are two types of people: complacent and non complacent. The complacent usually stay where they are while those who are unsatisfied get "the itch" and have to do something about the present condition that they are in. Those who chose to remain in their conditions are usually those who are comfortable in their state or are too fearful to move from them (I hope no one is like this). It is a shame to just stay in a unsatisfactory condition simply because of fear and doubt (the fear and doubt that only comes from the past through others that may have put them there or through experiences that we must mentally overcome). For those who do get "the itch" and decides that it’s time to move from here are really taking on a courageous decision. The ambition tells you to go not even realizing what lies ahead and anyone who does decide to leave their position should analyze their situation before leaving. While it’s good to take that big step, it’s knowing when and when not to take it that is even better. I'll use my situation as an example. When deciding whether or not I should immediately go to college upon graduating high school I was introduced into a tempting offer. One of my friends called me up about a coffee warehouse that was looking for people (particularly ages18-25) to hire and was paying $18/hr. Now at the time for a young high school senior I was thinking this is "I can't pass this up" type of money, but I really wanted to go to college and get a degree (a goal that I had already set for myself prior to hearing about that offer). To make a long story short I turned down the offer (after praying about it...prayer is definitely important) and went to college. Good thing I did cause most people I knew (though not everyone I knew) that decided to work instead of go to college wound up going to college anyway which I believe confirmed that I made the right decision.

When you have finally decided to leave your situation (hopefully after much analyzing and preparation) you find yourself standing at the edge of the unknown and the end of the beginning.
