Its daunting alright, in the same breath as it is exciting.

I don't want to be on my deathbed going..why the hell didn't I go to Oz, why didn't I leave my job that time and do something that's a once in a lifetime thing.
You never hear of someone saying on their deathbed(no matter how important a job they had) I should have worked more hours, been more dedicated to my company)
But you do hear people on their deathbed saying - why didn't I do this when I was younger, or gone there etc, Oh if I only had my time back again etc.
So sacrifices, like leaving your secure job, family, COMFORT ZONE are all part of the hurdles of this thing we are all involved in to fulfill our goal, whether it lasts 5 mins..5 months..5 years........a LIFETIME!!!

If ya never try then you'll never know,
Ya do only live once ya know, and a precious frickin one it is!!!

I got the usual, sad to lose you but if I was in your shoes I'd do the same thing, blah blah..

Still not sure if I did the right thing, but time will tell!!
