Lately I have been reading blogs and blurbs about how people just quit their current lives and go live their hopes and dreams. A predominate theme I see running through is these people always have the revenue to launch. Oh yes, they are usually in a "crisis" of some sort, have angst to some degree and there might be a hardship or two involved. But......... they all have the revenue (and usually much higher education) that allows them to throw caution to the wind and go for their gold. They travel, they progress with their art, yoga or..... fill in the blank. When they make the leap, there always seem to be a safety net of some sort that gives them the freedom to try and do what they choose to do. There too is always that "one" much less fortunate individual that teaches them a lesson for the higher good. Touches the soul, makes them shed a tear or perhaps two. These stories don't vary to any great degree.
Sometimes it rouses the green-eyed monster that makes me question "why not me?" "Why can't I just say to hell with it and go chase my dream?"
Oh wait, that's right. I don't have the revenue! There is no safety net, no back up. If I chuck it all, even in full faith, it is all from scratch, there is no safety net, no residual income. The consequences all mine!
There are those who actually take a leap of faith, and those who PLAN a leap of faith.
Realizing this makes me feel better. My time will come, I have no doubt. But I guarantee it won't be under false pretenses. No posts of look at me nor bullshit hid under the guise of advice.
Just the plain and simple truth of I did it, it is what it is.
