Very nice post, @kuenok, I applaud your decision to step out of the seeming safety of routine. When we enter into the unknown is when we begin to learn of life. Move in the direction that your heart leads you; everything else will follow and don't waste time worrying about it.
By the way, love your turtle photo, a great capture! Sorry that I don't have much voting power to bump you up much, I'm new on Steemit too. If you like take a look at my blog, I'm starting with photos as I figure out things here. I have a lot that I'll be adding just a bit later. https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@johncongdon/hear-ye-hear-ye-read-all-about-it-old-fogey-joins-steemit
All the best to you.
Hi johncongdon, thank you so much for your heartfelt comment, such great words of wisdom. I am looking back now at all that has happened, and reflecting on how it has led me to where I am now, and i know, that I have made the right decision. I feel so much more alive now, and have much stronger sense of clarity in almost everything I do. I wish to go in more details in my future posts of how it all led to me taking photos and going underwater with the turtles and all, but for now, thank you so much :) Your paintings are awesome btw, looking forward to listening more of your stories as your journey on steemit continues. All the best of us both and keep in touch :)
