While it is a spin on the old saying that a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step, many fail to take that first, all important one. It has taken me a long time to take that step, that leap of faith, for lack of a better saying, but now that it is done, the old me, my old life and way of doing things is a thing of the past.
    Before me lies a whole new world of opportunities, new visions and new horizons. Now that I am on this journey, I wonder, what took me so long to make the decision.

You don't take the first step before you are ready. Sometimes there is no explanation for why, it just happens. Now that it has, walk towards the light with no regrets! Enjoy your day!

Big Scorpio - I think a lot of us can relate and for me I only take that leap of faith and make big changes in my life when I'm truly unsatisfied with my current situation. Sounds like you just needed to get to that place where you were ready to dive in with both feet! Good for you and I'm sure you're already feeling more satisfaction in life! Best of luck and you'll succeed at anything you put your mind to!
