RE: Steemit Open Mic Week 55 - "I Quit My Job For Steemit" - Music Video
WHAT?!?!?!!!
So you JUST quit ur job like in the last couple days? Steemit is indeed a revolution and it is wise to be on the front lines.
So you went to see @ned in San Fran? Did that have anything to do with job quitting?
I have been SO OVER BUSY and I come to check in on you and WHAT!?!?!?! so much going on!
Great and exciting. Now I have to look around ur profile and catch up!
SteemOn!
Yes, we both quit our jobs! It's actually been a couple month process. I've now cultivated a completely sovereign lifestyle. It's part of the reason @lifemovedbysteem has worked so hard in the garden.
Sustainability is the key to freedom.
We eat from the garden and supplement with small incomes. Then we live minimally and beautifully.
I feel like I should be telling more of this story on Steemit. That will come.
The hardest part has been the pushback from society. Most friends and family don't understand. People think I've lost it. It's worth it though.
I know I've discovered how to live. Life is beautiful my friend.
PS, the Ned meeting had little to do with my final exit. It was already in the works. Meeting Ned did make me fully confident and inspired with my decision. It feels good to leap!
If you ever need support or an unwavering example I am here for you. I have been self employed for 15 years so you have a "Master" at your service.
Yes society will have difficulty, hopefully you will be able to let them go as they have only been holding you back since forever anyways.
As for sovereignty I am quite sure you either do not comprehend the meaning and or are not using it appropriately because as much as I love you you are NOT sovereign yet.
Much respect though for your decision. SUSTAINABILITY IS INDEED KEY!
Living SIMPLY is key and when your HAPPY living simply is EASY!
SteemON!
ahhh. You are sharp. I'm not a sovereign man. I'm far from it.
I throw that word around a little willy nilly. It's an ultimate goal in my head, but it is a process that will take me a while.
As I understand the meaning, I'm looking to be free of any restrictions or impositions of society. Completely independent?
But, a 2nd part is that "official sovereignty" takes recognition from the opposing power that I am to be left alone. I don't know if my sovereignty would ever be recognized. I think the best case scenario is I just fly under the radar so they don't know, or care, I exist.
What's your take? Thoughts.
I have sharpened a keens sense of observation. I have learned a lot and continue to do so with it.
You ask a great question and it is a big topic, we could discuss many facets of it to great length...
Yes "true sovereignty" is almost impossible but it is possible to be very self reliant and also have proper "defenses" or "strategies" in play to uphold that self reliance and freedom. Thats where I am at. Taking care of my self and also enforcing my freedoms.
Ultimately as long as you are living a conscious and responsible life of continuous evolution/progress/adaptation then your life will continue to get better and you will become more and more free and self reliant!
