Journey of 1000 miles starts with one class

I finally started my first class towards my new career as either a radiographer or a nurse. Knocking out basically the same pre-requisites for either career started last night. I love being on campus and being around other people for the mental stimulation. Even though this class is really basic, it will help ensure that I get a good GPA later on in the other pre-requisite classes that count on my application for each major. Since competition just get accepted is very tight, GPA plays a heavily important role. In either major, only 1 in 8 are accepted.

But I feel like a milestone has been set. Sort of like when I started a company 17 years ago, I put that first dollar bill in a frame. It was only a dollar, but it symbolized hope, success and optimism. So too, does my first class symbolize life change. Being 19 or 20 years old, that kind of thinking would have totally been lost on me. But at 44, with many years of life experience behind me, little things become more pronounced and meaningful.

I highly encourage you to begin the change if you are unhappy with where you are in life. Just do it. The time is going to pass by anyway with or without you so the question is, what are you going to be doing with the time that's already ticking away. Status quo? Or pursuing your dream, whether it be a new career that requires re-enrolling in college or starting a new business.

What dream have you been putting off for far too long?
