Every beginning has an end. But that begs the question – is the end self-determined or coerced upon? I’d like to think that I’ve the right to decide when the day of reckoning finally arrives. And from what I see, that day is not too far in the distance but somewhere on the horizon.

Begin with the end in mind or always go in with an exit plan – that’s how venture capitalists works – and it’s a good lesson to draw on. Working without the light at the end of the tunnel somehow feels aimless and mind-numbing. I need a timeline where starts and ends are clearly indicated.

As the time ticks closer, it gets harder to tear yourself away. It requires some resolute to finally say goodbye. Honestly, there’s no right time to leave – it just happens. Inevitably, every chapter has an end and this one is closing soon. But with every closing, comes a new opening.
