The choice of moving forward in life is never easy, leaving comfortable surroundings and the veritible small pond and jumping head first into the ocean can be terrifying. I walked away from everything that I knew when I had burned out and been hurt many years ago.

I wanted so much to be a "man of the world" but I was awkward and have never done well in crowds. I go over the top with bad jokes, bad language, and, extremely, bad decisions. So I walked away from what I knew, to do God's knows what in Southern California. No money, ideas, or enough skills. I ran again, and you learn that the more you run the easier that it gets.

Difficult relationships, bad job, or anything negative... Don't walk away, walking is for chumps. Run! Run for your life. Don't get locked into a bad situation. 

The problem with that? The more you run, the less time you have to enjoy the good moments along the way.
