Going against the grain.

Have you ever felt like you are going against the norm?  I think most people have felt that way at one time or another.  I have not written for a while due to the fact that my family and I have made some huge changes in out life lately.  I just recently sold my dental practice and moved to Virginia.  I never imagined that I would end up on the east coast, but here I am.  I left my family back home in Idaho and moved across the country.  Why, you ask?  Because I was given  the opportunity of a life time.  I am now a dentist in Virginia.  Perhaps at a later date I will tell you all the details of the job I was given here but not today. 
Back to going against the grain.  Most of the people I know want to move closer to family and when they finally get close to family they don't want to leave.  For instance I know of a dentist who lived close to me in Idaho.  He had a friend who offered him $30,000.00 per month just to come to Nebraska and work.  His wife said no and as a result he is still in Idaho probably making 15,000.00 per month.  I would have jumped at the opportuinity to make 30k per month.  My wife and I talked about it quite a bit and we decided that after having been screwed by a prior business partner we needed to take advantage of this opportunity.  So here we go.  I am excited for the opprotuinty and I firmly believe that if you don't take a chance then you won't ever taste the sweet reward of success.
That is all.
