It’s just after 11pm and I am sitting in my hotel, a little restless and I can’t stop looking at the door. I keep thinking I can walk out of this place anytime, so why am I feeling so claustrophobic? I resist the urge to get dressed and go for a walk, knowing full well that once I hit the street and walk a 1/2 block I will only turn around. What is this thing that troubles me so…I think it’s the realization that there are some things in which I need to set aside my fears…find my comfort again with taking some risks and simply get on with it. Playing it safe is not really my thing…still, my life is much more complicated now with 2 young children (and I am not getting any younger – time is of the essence)…perhaps I will need to better assess the costs/benefits in determining what actions I take. Still, what is certain is the understanding that nothing worth accomplishing comes easy…and if it is truly worth accomplishing it will require sacrifice, blood, sweat and tears. So tonight the hotel door stays closed and my energies are refocused to the matters at hand…and the hard work gets started.
