Taking the plunge into the abyss of freedom or musings of a fool?
I did it, I quit my job!
It wasn’t done in anguish or frustration; I didn’t want to do it that way. I had taken the long weekend and enjoyed myself with family and friends and when I returned home I realized that I needed to quit.
It isn’t so much “quitting”, that has such a negative connotation but, a strategic plan to move on! Well, maybe not so strategic but a plan! The “job” had served its purpose. It was now time to move on.
So I sit here on day four of my new horizon wondering just exactly what have I done! Although I have her blessings, I have put our family financials into a different shift. But I console myself knowing that I have done the right thing at the right time. Had I held onto an experience that wasn’t serving me other than provide money then I wouldn’t be respecting myself and would die a slow, painful, unhappy death. I believe there is great misunderstandings of money… topic of my next blog, stay tuned.
Instead I choose to be open to possibilities. I know, many of you are cheering saying go “Wealthy Associates”, your website is THE possibility. I hold no illusions that my website will be a cash cow, not right now at least. As with any business it will build true but, as I am new to this business and need to learn from the ground up, it would like buying a hardware business and knowing nothing about tools or building, it will be a slow process.
No, I am staying relaxed & joyful working on the reality that happiness and success are built from within, with the thoughts and feelings I focus on.

Well, good for you. For me it was a little scary at first, but I don't imagine I'll aver be able to handle another "job". I seldom know where all the money for the month is going to come from, just work it out as I go, but I have also learned to live comfortably on a fourth of what I used to. Other reasons keep me from being perfectly happy, but where employment is concerned, I'm on top of the world.
Well Tom Congratulations are in the works for you.
I wish I could just quit my job since I really do not like it anymore and I am going no where, but I do have to show my husband some type of income first! LOL
Great sharing with us and I sure am happy for you.

All the best and more power! Sharing with you a very inspiring quote:
“Life is too short to waste any amount of time on wondering what other people think about you. In the first place, if they had better things going on in their lives, they wouldn't have the time to sit around and talk about you. What's important to me is not others' opinions of me, but what's important to me is my opinion of myself.”
