RE: Thank You For Helping Me Reach 70 Rep! // 20 SBD Giveaway – Building Community
How interesting to move from one model of life to another, totally opposite. How did you feel about that? Do you miss your old lifestyle? If you had the opportunity, would you change your current way of life for another? Or do you think it was the best decision of your life? I'm a practicing professional, and I've often thought about going home, but it's a difficult decision.
Greetings
That's a great question. I don't regret anything I've done. I am actually grateful even for the bank robbery because it gave me a reason to leave the industry when I didn't have the courage to leave simply for my own personal benefit. As for my life now, we have had quite the adventure over the last few years, moving out of state, selling our home and living in a travel trailer for 18 months while looking for a property to buy and eventually building our home. If I had known then that we would have spent that long in a travel trailer ( we have 4 kids) I would have said no. It would have terrified me, but having lived it, I'm so grateful for the experience and do not regret any of it. Have you read Atlas Shrugged? I'm in the midst of it right now and I think it shines an important light on the idea of making oneself happy and doing things for your own enjoyment rather than for others or for what others might think. I highly recommend it.
