I bit the bullet

bite the bullet

After more than a year of toying with the idea in my head and more recently making it a target to achieve, I’ve finally done it – leaving my job. Decided to bite the bullet and just go for it. There is someone that I need to thank for pushing me hard enough to keep bringing the date forward in biting the bullet!

So how do I feel? Great, really. I think of all the things I can do, all the things that I will have time for, and most importantly the time that I can have with Ryan. I may not have all these in the short term, but not long from now I will have it all. Short term pain, long term gain. I think this is my fastest way to the freedom that I want than the conventional way of making a living.

At the moment I’m still on top of the world from my action. Would I feel regret and maybe even the pain of biting the bullet too soon? Well I don’t think so. No regrets and if I ever have that pain from biting the bullet too hard, just fix an appointment with the dentist la! :P For all I know, it doesn’t even have to be a local dentist, I could find that long time friend who’s a Plano dentist! ;)

Although many think that the path is somewhat uncertain ahead of me, it’s alright. I never expected a smooth sailing one anyway. I just need the right support, effort and know what I am doing. I believe I have all that going for me, thanks to all the wonderful, supportive and positive people around me.

So wish me luck and if you too want to take this path, do it. If you don’t know how to begin, come talk to me! :)

Hi Jocelyn, it didn’t happen overnight for me. It took some courage, some motivation, and a lot of support from the family :) Just focus and do it with all your passion.
