Are you seeking security or adventure?

For me, the choice between security or adventure has always been clearor so I thought. Over decades of chasing thrills, I’ve found myself in tight corners, sought adventure where none existed, and taken risks that turned my hair gray long before its time.

Nor do I advocate for reckless spending that leaves one vulnerable in old age.

It all began when I made the bold choice to leave a stable government joba decision that sent shockwaves through my family and friends. Their disbelief was palpable, yet I stood resolute. Years later, I look back on that moment of audacity with gratitude. That single act of courage set the course for a life defined by purposeful leaps of faith. Time and again, I faced skepticism from those closest to me. My choices were often met with raised eyebrows or outright mockery. Yet, when the results spoke for themselves, those same critics either sidestepped giving credit or conveniently forgot their attempts to dissuade me. Through it all, I learned to trust my instincts and stay true to my vision. In this journey, one constant has been the unwavering support of my… Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.
