Everything Has a Price
I wanted to become a successful entrepreneur. The last six years, I have suffered from self-doubt, depression, loneliness, euphoria, disappointments, happiness etc. The one feeling that never went away is the self-loathing and insecurity. There are many days where I could not bring myself to express my feelings to anyone in my life.
As I reflect my feelings and experience. All that I have been through are the price that I have to pay to reach my goals. Could I have taken an easier path? Unlikely, running a business is what I always wanted to do. I have failed many times, starting over in my mid-forties is probably one of my last chances.
What if I did not take the risk to pursue my dreams? I would be wondering about it for the rest of my life. That's another price that I have to pay for not taking the leap.
Between the two evils, I take the former. At least I know when I draw my last breath, I have given it all in this lifetime.
