What Amazingly Daring Thing Will You Do Next?

You’ve climbed the mountain. Now what? What will you do next?

That is the question I am asking myself.

So, an interesting thing happened last week. Well, a really big thing happened last week. I successfully defended my thesis. Yes, ladies and gentleman! After a long and winding road (cue Beatles track) to my Master’s degree, through book publishing, book promoting, career change, and an entire decade of my life (off and on), I am within spitting distance from this goal.

Here is Why This American is Doing a Crazy Thing

A few little edits, some paperwork, pay my last tuition bill to the Missouri School of Journalism, and it will be done. Dare done!

I might actually even go to Mizzou to pick up my Masters Degree since I didn’t go to my undergraduate graduation at the University of Georgia.  I was too excited to get the heck out of town and go to my first reporting job in Chattanooga.

Anyway, the point of all this is that I thought I would be wildly exhilarated to get this off of my “to do” list.  Strangely, after living with this process for so long, I think I will kind of miss it.  

I’m thinking about what’s next?  

I climbed that mountain.  I might just need another to climb. 

What Amazingly Daring Thing Will You Do Next?

Crazy, huh?  Because I can’t tell you how much I griped and whined about this process;  asking myself why the hell am I trying to stuff things in my head well past the point my brain can barely hold onto all the basic essential information I need, like the location of my car keys. 

And believe me, I am incredibly busy. I have a lot going on but having done this BIG thing, I’m just thinking…dare I do the next? 

It turns out the journey is the thing. Or, maybe I’m just missing the thing I loved to whine about.  

Maybe I should whine about a Ph.D. program, or the next book, or the just whatever the next big thing is.  But, it will be something, because a dare done just gives you room to dare again.

You?
