You Hold…

Today is the day

I have a had a post on my mind for a while now that due to confidentiality, I couldn’t write about. It has been very difficult to write about anything else, when there’s only one bridge topic on my mind.

Last month, I have made the decision to try to pursue bridge full time. I am leaving my corporate job and will make bridge my life. It is a very exciting transition, one which took a lot of soul searching to make. I feel that it is the right decision for me at this point in my life, and my wife wholeheartedly agrees. I wouldn’t be doing this with out her support.
What this means in terms of this blog is only good things; I’ll have both more time and more material to give to this, trying to make this a worthwhile resource site. What this means for my life, time will tell.
The biggest reason I want to make this change is simple. It’s not that I think making a living from bridge will be either easier or more profitable than my current job. Rather, I want to focus on my passions and see how far I can go. I’ve had a number of memorable successes in my bridge career, and I’d like to push that to see if I can make it to the highest levels of the game, back into the international arena. I think that will take a dedication that I couldn’t manage with a full time corporate job, so that left me with only one thing left to do.

I have had a good time here at my job, and I will miss working with the friends I have made here. It’s a good crew, and it’s because of them that I’ve been here as long as I have. But sometimes you just have to spread your wings and try to fly. For me, today is the day.
