Conclusion

On the 24th of this month I will have successfully satisfied all of the requirements to obtain my MBA. With that completion, I have a flurry of mixed emotions. In a way, I still feel that I can accomplish more (which is why I have enrolled in a Doctorate program) but I'm borderline ready to take a break from it all.

In my head, I'm trying to rationalize why I shouldn't go ahead and immediately start the DBA program. I have the time and I definitely don't have anything else to spend my time doing. But the lazy part of me wants to have a wide open schedule and maybe pick up a teaching position at a community college. I'm also really interested in taking ministerial classes but those don't start until September.

And what about my business? I could really use this summer to put on some great events and attend some of the festivals throughout the city. It's time to decide and I'm going to do so by Sunday.

I've come to the point in life where I want to make the most of every moment. I'm used to hearing people say "live every day like its your last" and thinking to myself "yes, that's what I want to do". But somehow I manage to get caught up in the madness of everyday life and forget the committment that I'd made to myself. No more. It's time to make the most of what God has given me...salvation, family & friends, ministry, career, education.

First things first...make the TO DO list!
