What would you do, without fear in your heart?
I'm ruled by inertia. That's been the story of my life, staying in situations longer than I should because it takes more energy to change than to endure.
I'm also a snob. There are some things that I won't consider because I'm under the mistaken impression that I'm somehow "above" all that...
Put these together, and when opportunity knocks you can bet I'm not listening. Because opportunity sometimes requires a step down before moving up, and it's easier not to be inspired to change.
Fortunately, I have this fellow by me who's willing to wield the clue-by-four when he thinks I'm being particularly dense.
I'm going to be applying for a second job, with an eye to something that'll move me up and away from Sears. As good as that place has been for me, it's certainly not going to develop into something I'd be proud to look back on in twenty years. I want to get back to school, and we won't be able afford that on our present income.
...and Mouse is coming up on that age himself. I need to get my act together, if we're going to be able to get him through college or university, as well as myself.
It's all part of making the moves now to put myself where I want to be in ten years.
