"If you're feeling frightened about what comes next, don't be. Embrace the uncertainty. Allow it to lead you places. Be brave as it challenges you to exercise both your heart and your mind as you create your own path towards happiness, don't waste time with regret. Spin wildly into your next action. Enjoy the present, each moment, as it comes; because you'll never get another one quite like it. And if you should ever look up and find yourself lost, simply take a breath and start over. Retrace your steps and go back to the purest place in your heart...where you hope lives. You'll find your way again."

Personal Reflection: Some times, out of his love and concern, my Dad can be a little too cautious--to the point where it can keep me from taking risks. He sometimes gets nervous about things that made me doubt whether making the move to DC was worth it, his words often clouded my head with "What if" worries. That was when I decided I couldn't allow my fathers (well-intentioned) fears to become my own. At some point I needed to embrace the uncertainty, and spin wildly towards this new action.
And really, isn't the parents job to worry? My job is to take the steps they would have taken had they been in my shoes. In fact, they once were there and made a huge move where they once crossed half the world to settle in a foreign land) =)
