This was almost the title of my new blog. It’s a word that embodies all the ways in which I like to see myself. I’m a constant observer and I like to plan out the best course and know every intricate detail and potential obstacle before taking the first step. (It’s why I want to be a Strategist/Planner!) However, I’ve learned that concentrating on the best plan without taking action or risking to see if a plan succeeds or fails automatically sends you over to the fail column. I’ve spent so much time on being analytical that I’ve missed out on lots of experiential learning in life, so my best laid plans have been missing a certain prowess. Trial is an essential piece of every plan.

This blog is all about filling in that blank with whatever it takes and trying new things to really go after all of my goals. To foresee an opportunity, to be prepared for it when it arrives, and to have the willingness to chase it down and fight for it if it escapes me.

So welcome to my life in the question.
