Cut Out the Ropes and Let me Fall

I realized this evening, while driving home from work, that I am at a crossroads in my life. I guess you could say I am experiencing the typical twenty something quarter life crisis or whatever they call it these days. I am 27, I have a great job, I love this city, I have great friends and a wonderful family, but there is something missing.

I have always been a huge supporter of the question, "If I died today, would I die happy or would I die with regrets?". Up until now I have not had too many significant crossroads. But right now I am presented with several different directions I can take my career and ultimately my life.

Every part of me is saying to jump and take the risk. There is a chance that I could fall flat on my face and there is a chance that this risk can render me the happiest person in the world. While it scares the hell out of me to fail, at least I know I tried. I have to keep reminding myself to look at the big picture. I don't want to look back on life with any regrets. All signs point to jump.
