i am on this very same jounrey but I am on like day 7! i just quit my job and have no idea what i am leaping toward but I am doing it. as you described your walks and the details and the moments that you cherish more than money... That brought tears to my eyes. I am a single mom so the pressure is huge for me to make enough to keep my house and car... So i have stayed in a job that is draining my very soul , taking my spark, for 2.5 years. As a creative person it is so sad to not have any energy to create! That will all change for me in Jan and I just found steemit and my journey will be documented here. Thank you for this inspiring post and I am bookmarking it to use it as a reminder!
First off let me say congratulations on taking the first step towards being truly happy! I can imagine life is hard in ur situation and taking that leap is not an easy decision. But like i tell my best friend, your kids will learn fom watching u, and if u go thru life settling for less than happiness then that will perpetuate thru ur children as well! they learn from example, so teach them to chase their dreams in life, even tho it may be uncomfortable because that is where greatness lies.
I agree with u, being creative is so empowering so please dont let this negative world destroy you. Break free and do what u love, i promise the money will come eventually. The universe has a weird way of working out for the people who believe in themselves and take that leap towards true happiness!
I am following u back and I will be watching younon ur journey! Good luck and i cant wait to see u living ur dream life! ;)
thank you for this. I just need to find part time work to help me get through a few months of building up my consulting and creative work.. and then I will hopefully have momentum going and feel a little less terrified! the unknown is both exciting and freaky!
Yes exciting and freaky are definitely feelings you experience alot on the road less traveled! But eventually it seems a little less scary each day cuz u trust urself and the universe a little more each day. See i have found the universe tends to award the people who make the sacrifices to be better. Its kinda crazy ;)
I love this saying by jim rohn (a motivational speaker), he says
My secret to staying positive everyday is listening to this video in the morning when i wake up to remind me what is truly important! I hope it can help u too! ;)
That saying is awesome and so is the video. Thanks for your thoughtfulness. I will try playing it every day and see how i feel!
