More then one instance of putting all my eggs in one basket.... basket breaks I get screwed...
I guess I really want to move out of the country... keep signing up for that visa shit 
I frequently shoot a lot lower than my potential... end up quitting 
Been quitting a lot lately.....
I should be working for myself... only job that seems life proof.  


Part 3: Submitting....applications
There is a lot of shit that I could do.  I agonize about trying to make money off of my blog, a Youtube channel, instructional coaching, etc.   I notice that this feels exactly like logging on to all the job sites. You know the look through pages, decide if you are willing to do that work, if you qualify, apply, wait to hear back (if at all).  I now work for myself to it feels good to know that I qualify for all of the jobs and that I will and am getting a call back.  I'll start with them all and use this blog to documents the road ahead.  Tune in!
