this purple animal is changing everything

One time my girlfriend asked me what I liked about myself. I thought it was an odd question. One of those questions where you have to act like you don't know the answer, but deep down you really do. I'm not sure why it seems so humble to act like you don't know what you do well. It's not.

After I thought about it a while, I decided that I liked my ability to make quick decisions. Most often, I just make decisions based on gut feeling. (Read Blink by Malcom Gladwell). I'm not super analytical and I don't like stressing over things. The majority of the time my decisions turn out ok. Sometimes they don't.

Recently, I quit my job as a commercial real estate broker. It was a great decision. I didn't realize how great it was until after I quit. There were a variety of really good reasons to leave, but the main reason was that it just felt like the right thing to do. My bank account is suffering, my mortgage is still due every month and I'm unemployed. But, it was undoubtedly the right thing to do.

I'm looking for a new opportunity. I want to be a part of something remarkable. I'm not sure if the timing will match the opportunity I'm looking for, but I don't want just another job. I'm convinced I will find it. Since I don't have the money or the idea necessary to start my own company, I'm going to look for one that already exists. If it doesn't exist, I'll find a way to pay the bills while I scheme.
