I can only imagine how scary it is to think about going out on your own, my friend. But I would also imagine it's pretty freakin exciting, too.

You know, Rick, I can understand, because of who you are, being worried about the people you may leave behind. I have two thoughts...the first being, that they may flounder a bit at first, but, they will find their footing. The second thought is that it is ok to think of what is best for ourselves. We matter, too.

I am thinking that you cant live your life for other people. We did that for a long time and look what happened. I am not saying we should be selfish. I am saying we should have self care.

And think about being able to help people without any of the constrictions you have now. How cool would that be?

Write down the pros and cons. Be brutally honest.

Life begins at the end of our comfort zone. smile
